The next Science on Tap at the Alberta Rose Theatre, 3000 N.E. Alberta St., Portland, will be at 7 p.m. Sept. 1. The presentation is “How’d They Film That? Behind the Scenes of Science Communication at OPB.” Attend in person or watch a livestream. The cost to attend is $45 or $15 to watch the livestream. Complete details are available at scienceontaporwa.org/events/alberta_sep_1_opb/.

Attendees will get a behind-the-scenes look at how the folks behind the new OPB show “All Science. No Fiction.” communicate science. How do they pull off all the different things they do on camera to try to get you as excited about science as they are? “All Science. No Fiction.” uses whimsy, curiosity and fun to place a spotlight on Pacific Northwest scientists. These stories are about technology, cutting-edge solutions and inventions and ideas that pass the HCTC (Holy Crap That’s Cool!) test.

Jes Burns and Brandon Swanson are the production team behind “All Science. No Fiction.” Jes is a science reporter and producer for OPB’s Science & Environment unit. Brandon is a videographer and editor, working on OPB shows like Oregon Field Guide. They’ve worked in some places, won some awards, and really dig scientists and making videos about their work.
