Head to Tampa Theatre for a live performance of Science Friday, the NPR show about — of course — science. Science Friday's a 90 minute show, and if you're thinking it's a bunch of geeky guys with glasses talking about ionic something or other, well, you're sort of right — it does cover scientific current events. But they use live music, props and demonstrations to make their points. And no, the demos aren't of the "Peter Brady makes a volcano" ilk. Ira Flatow hosts and yeah, he wears glasses. So that's the part you got right. Congratulations.
