You Should Know This! is a nerd comedy show where serious ideas meet ridiculous comedy. Think TedTalk meets comedy game show. Listen to experts discuss important topics you should know while comedians riff on stage and you win fun, silly prizes for being a nerd.
This month's show is Tissue Engineering! Lab-Grown Cells, Organs, and More!
Need a new lung? Or a filet mignon? Why not grow it in the lab? That is the future we're racing towards with advances in tissue engineering. Cell-based organs and meat are opening up new frontiers and changing how we eat and repair our bodies. To help us understand these amazing developments is biomedical engineer George Engelmayr, a former professor at Penn State and currently leading the bioprocess engineering team at Memphis Meats, a mission-driven company developing cell-based meat without slaughtering animals.
Joining him on stage will be host Kevin Whittinghill and comedians Mark Smalls (SF Punchline) and Julie Ash (SF Sketchfest).
