The next event in the Science on Tap monthly pub series will explore "The Face of Fear: How Our Brain is Influenced By Others' Facial Expressions." Bob Torrence of Northern Michigan University's psychology department will give the talk at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 14, in the upper level of the Ore Dock Brewing Company. It is free and open to all ages. 

Science on Tap is a series of informal 20-30 minute presentations geared toward the general public and delivered by local scientists based on their research or areas of expertise. Each is followed by a question-and-answer session. The series is organized by the NMU chapter of Sigma Xi--The Scientific Research Society and hosted by the Ore Dock Brewing Company.
