    Fun for the whole family, this 40-minute comedy juggling show about the mysteries of matter - including atoms, molecules, and nanotechnology - is not to be missed. Join Nano Brothers Dan and Joel as they juggle everything from potted plants to tennis rackets, sometimes from atop 7-foot unicycles. Who knew physics could be this fun? Audience participation invited, not required. Get measured in nanometers after the show and tour the rest of the Museum of Science. Free with Museum Exhibit Hall ticket.

          Carol Lynn Alpert’s THE AMAZING NANO BROTHERS JUGGLING SHOW was conceived (in collaboration with juggler/comedians Dan Foley and Joel Harris) to teach audiences painlessly about nanotechnology. Her clever script has a prologue, three acts and a finale, all of which fit into forty thrilling minutes. Kids will love the shenanigans and adults will come away knowing exactly what makes up DNA ---and how a scanning probe microscope works---and it won’t hurt a bit. In fact, you’ll leave the museum feeling better, since laughter is, as they say, the best medicine. Collapse
