Folding and Science session
Folding
and Science
Workshop session with the scientific
folders from Concordia University’s Biochemistry lab. Led by
Professor Louis Cuccia, and inspired by origami, this group
researches the fundamental principles involved with molecular and
macromolecular 'folding'. Join them and learn how to make some of
their favourite scientific folds such as the parabola and the
leaf.
Dawson Gallery, 2nd floor.
After the folding session, watch the 2008 documentary film
Between the Folds which examines the art of origami as
well as its relationship to math and science. This award-winning
film tells the stories of ten origami scientists who have devoted
their lives to folding paper, including physicist Robert J. Lang
who created the full-sized origami Pteranodon that glides above the
Redpath Museum’s dinosaur skeleton.
Auditorium, entrance level, 4 pm.
Free, everyone welcome, no reservations necessary. In
