Why is the world the way it is? How did we get here? Does everything happen for a reason or are some things left to chance? Drawing inspiration from Monty Python, Kurt Vonnegut, and even Ted 2, Dr. Sean B. Carroll's latest book, 'A Series of Fortunate Events', is a jovial ode to the power of chance. Join San Diego Natural History Museum for a very special Nat Talk, in which they will screen a video of the acclaimed writer, filmmaker, and biologist, as he reveals the improbable forces behind our most fundamental scientific truths. https://www.facebook.com/events/341270127166294/

The Mingei International Museum may be closed for renovation, but they are still very active in the arts and design community. A great example: the Mingei was a driving force behind the recent San Diego Design Week!
