Atlantic Public Media <http://atlantic.org/> is bringing the NPR Science 
Correspondent and co-host of public radio’s /Radiolab/ 
<http://www.radiolab.org/>to Cape Cod for a talk he calls, “Saddam 
Hussein’s Secret Octopus and other Tales of Science.” The event will be 
held at *7:30 pm on Saturday, May 10th* at MBL’s Lillie Auditorium, 7 
MBL Street, in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.

Krulwich is the co-host and co-creator (with Jad Abumrad) of the 
cult-sensation /Radiolab/, the inventive public radio program about big 
ideas in science. His NPR blog, “Krulwich Wonders” features drawings, 
cartoons and videos that illustrate hard-to-see concepts in science.

Of his talk, Krulwich says, “There are ways, lots of ways, to take 
complex science stories, dense with detail and nuance, and talk about 
them to a lay audience. Not dumbing them down, not ignoring the hard 
parts, but inventing ways to make them understandable. I’ll describe 
techniques I’ve used on /Radiolab/, on TV and on the web, sharing the 
ones I’m proudest of, and some of my biggest, most embarrassing 
bloopers. Come hear about Hussein’s octopus, dating squid, and the day a 
B-flat got away and hid out on a stairwell in Woods Hole.”

APM’s Executive Director, Jay Allison, says, “I don’t know anyone more 
curious and just plain fun than Robert Krulwich. I guarantee that if you 
come hear him talk, you’ll leave the auditorium more curious and ready 
for fun yourself.”

Krulwich earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from Oberlin 
College and a law degree from Columbia University and has been awarded 
numerous Emmys, as well as the DuPont and George Polk Award, among others.

This event is a benefit for Atlantic Public Media, Inc. and its Peabody 
Award-winning website Transom.org <http://transom.org/>, a showcase and 
workshop for new public media. In addition to founding our local NPR 
station, WCAI, APM produces /The Moth Radio Hour/ 
<http://themoth.org/radio> (also a Peabody winner) and created the 
popular NPR series, /This I Believe/, and many other national projects, 
including the Transom Story Workshop 
<http://transom.org/workshop/story-workshop/>, an eight-week training 
for beginning radio producers, in Woods Hole.

*Tickets for the event are available in advance at Eight Cousins 
Bookstore, in Falmouth.
