Heather Berlin, PhD, MPH, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, and Neuroscience, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, is co-hosting with Faith Salie, a television and national public radio political and pop culture personality, a monthly series on CUNY TV focusing on science and portrayals of scientists in current films. The series includes a lively discussion about top films such as Birdman, Interstellar, and The Theory of Everything by contributors from a variety of scientific disciplines.
“The episodes go beyond the plot and give an explanation as to how science is an integral portion of many of this year’s Academy Award-nominated films,” says Dr. Berlin. The next episode of Science Goes to the Movies, discussing Into the Woods and The Imitation Game, can be viewed on CUNY TV through Thursday, April 9.
