Nerd Nite | The Poison And The Princess

  • Industrial Arts Brewing Company 511 Fishkill Avenue Beacon, NY, 12508 United States (map)

Trace Dominguez joins Nerd Nite Hudson Valley once again to give a talk on poison before a screening of the classic film, THE PRINCESS BRIDE.

Iocaine powder is odorless, colorless, dissolves instantly in liquid, and is one of the deadliest poisons known to man (or so Westley says in The Princess Bride). This mysterious MacGuffin begs us to ask: Can a human gain immunity to poison?

Join science communicator and PBS host Trace Dominguez as he dives into the intriguing world of poisons and venoms, revealing a ground-breaking insight that will change how you see this iconic scene forever.

With an introduction to the film by Hit House Film curator Shane Killoran, music, trivia, prizes, beer, special surprises and guaranteed good company.
