Knock 3.14159 times on Door 19 for admission to an oddly charming evening that will forever change how you think about science. Curated for the curious, Door 19 at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University is quirky science meets themed soiree, set against a backdrop of live performances, music, potent libations, exclusive behind-the-scenes access, and dinosaurs.

The next Door 19 takes place Thursday, April 12, from 6–9 p.m., in partnership with Flying Fish Brewing Co. and 12th St. Catering. Participants must be 21 and older to attend. The theme this time is “Off the Hook.”

Water literally keeps us alive, but have you ever thought about what water means to animals that live in our streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans? Find out when the Academy’s entertaining scientists and educators pull out all the stops for a wet and wild evening featuring exclusive tours of two splashy collections, fun with freshwater critters, great food and drink, and even a shark dissection demonstration.
