KCTS 9, the Pacific Science Center and Science on Tap present monthly discussions from the world of science in a laid back, social way at T.S. McHughs. Grab a beverage and pull up a stool, no science background required. This is a free lecture. Seating is limited, so it's recommended to arrive early.
Speaker Hunter Hoffman is a Research Scientist in the Human Interface Technology Laboratory at the University of Washington and studies the use of virtual reality systems to alleviate burn victim pain, relieve spider phobias, and treat PostTraumatic Stress Disorder. He received his PhD in Cognitive Psychology from UW in 1992.
