Attend this live podcast recording of Sing For Science featuring a conversation between iconic musician David Byrne and culture journalist and author Patrik Svensson.

Hosted by the Museum of Science on Wednesday, May 8 at 7:30 pm.

Tickets are $30 and include a copy of The Book of Eels.

Byrne will discuss his interest in “the eel question” with Svensson, the author of The Book of Eels and a leading cultural authority on the subject. “The eel question”—how, when, and where eels reproduce—has baffled scientists and philosophers for centuries, as well as their inexplicable migration from freshwater to the ocean.

David Byrne’s curiosity about eels adds even more dimension to the former Talking Heads frontman’s eclectic pursuits, which include two Broadway shows and an interactive neuroscience exhibit at Denver’s Center for the Performing Arts. Meanwhile, Patrik Svensson’s The Book of Eels has garnered widespread acclaim for its profound exploration of humanity’s enduring fascination with the mysterious creatures.
