Miami, FL – June 21, 2017 – The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science launched its LIVE@Frost Science series with Hollywood Science & the Wonder Women of Miami, featuring science communicator Cara Santa Maria of “Talk Nerdy” and “The Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe.” The program peeled back the curtain on Hollywood filming and how science makes its way to the silver screen, in addition to revealing what makes Wonder Woman such an icon of feminine strength and smarts. A video presentation from Nerdist correspondent Kyle Hill demystified the science behind the Sword of Athena, while exclusive audio content from famed comic book artist Cat Staggs and television and comic book writer Amanda Diebert shed light on Wonder Woman’s story. A panel discussion with leading local female scientists followed, featuring Lisa Beal, Ph.D. (Associate Dean of Research and Professor of Ocean Sciences at the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science), Elizabeth Reynolds Losin, Ph.D. (Director, Social and Cultural Neuroscience Laboratory and Assistant Professor, Department of Psychology at University of Miami) and Kilan Ashad-Bishop (Ph.D. Candidate, University of Miami and Member, City of Miami Sea Level Rise Committee).
