About event
Is it comedy or is it science? Yes! In 2020, Sarah Hagen finished her PhD in mathematics. In 2023, she took things to the next level and created a raunchy-yet-educational PowerPoint to better spread the good word of math to the people of the world. Come watch a comedic presentation during which the audience learns how the Ancient Greeks were able to measure the distance to the moon and sun despite living in a time period so primitive that memes were shared via pottery.

ABOUT THE PERFORMER:
Sarah Hagen is a mostly normal person with an irritating obsession with mathematics. In an act of wild desperation, she began moonlighting as a stand-up comedian with the express purpose of incorporating mathematics into comedy. Seven years later, she is a fixture of the northwest comedy scene and co-producer of the touring STEM vaudeville show Singu-hilarity, as well as the popular recurring show Naughty but Nerdy, which runs all over the West Coast. She holds a PhD in mathematics and is a former OMSI Science Communication Fellow.
