Taking a Closer Look at Everyday Life: From Flowers and Flags to Fishes and Flytraps. Family Program by L. Mahadevan.

Children of all ages are eternally curious about the world around us. What may seem familiar and dull is often both magical and mysterious: How do leaves and flowers bloom? How bugs stick to surfaces? How do flags flutter and fish swim? How do Venus fly traps catch their prey?

Harvard mathematical scientist L. Mahadevan explains the hidden simplicity behind the bewildering complexity of everyday life and the often serendipitous consequences for science and technology. Join us as we search for the sublime .... in the mundane.
