With the first event 3 weeks behind us and the second one only 2 weeks away, it's time to start getting excited about the JMuse Café Demystifying the Expert series again! In case you've missed the previous post and the advertisements around campus, this series of events serves as a means by which to connect the scientific community of JMU with the general public in a unique and fun way through improv comedy. Each event consists of a panel of comedians from JMU's only improv group, New and Improv'd, and an expert whose expertise is unknown to both the panel and the audience at the beginning of the event. Throughout the evening the expert is demystified through games, discussions, and brief Q&A sessions. As we prepare for the event on November 6 with our expert Chris Hughes, we've put together several pictures from the first event for those of you who weren't fortunate enough to attend:
