The behavioral biology of horror movies
Posted on October 13th, 2009, by admin in UncategorizedCheryl White of the Cooldige Corner alerted everyone to an interesting
series on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. She can be reached at

I don’t think she is including the X-rated Pakistani vampire film that
has been highlighted on Sepia Mutiny.
On Monday, October 19, Science on Screen at the Coolidge Corner
Theatre will present the 1941 film Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, paired with
a talk by John Durant, professor in MIT’s Science, Technology and
Society Program and an expert in the history of evolutionary and
behavioral biology, and Anne Harrington, chair of Harvard’s History of
Science Department and an expert in the history of the brain/mind
sciences.
Science on Screen has been fortunate to host many outstanding
speakers, including Robert Weller (Anthropology), Les Kaufman (Marine
Biology), and Michael Baum (Biology) from Boston University. We’re
looking forward to a fun and fascinating evening on the 19th. I
believe anthropology students would enjoy this program, and I’m hoping
you will help us to spread the word.
