The Coolidge Corner Theatre launches this season's Science on Screen series next week Monday, September 6 at 7 pm with a special presentation of The Man in the White Suit... "...a classic satirical comedy about a mild-mannered but single-minded chemist -- Alex Guinness -- determined to bring progress to mankind by developing a new kind of fabric that never gets dirty and never wears out. Before the film, Marc Abrahams, editor of the science humor magazine The Annals of Improbable Research and founder of the Ig Nobel Prizes, will discuss some of the world’s most unusual inventions. [...] He will be joined by Harvard chemist Daniel Rosenberg [of Moments of Science and InDemoVeritas fame], who will address a key question, especially for all those prone to spillage: Is it scientifically possible to create everlasting, dirt-resistant clothing?"Price? Less than $10! See trailer for a taste of The Man...
