A night to remember

The Kiggins Theatre presents Science on Tap, “Making Memories: Using Neuroscience to Enhance Teaching and Learning,” at 7 tonight at 1011 Main St., Vancouver. Neuroscientist Dr. Mark Pitzer offers a humorous but scientifically sound discussion of the brain’s learning networks, emotional connections and how the visual and motor pathways influence what we process. Tickets are $15 to $45, available at kigginstheatre.com. Vaccine cards are required and checked at entry. Masks are recommended. The event is only in person and won’t be livestreamed.
