SENIOR MONDAY AT THE R. H. FLEET SCIENCE CENTER Monday, March 1 Noon Balboa Park Entrance Fee (for seniors 65 and better): $6.00 Join us for Senior Monday at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park. The entrance fee of only $6.00 includes a lecture at 12:30, all current exhibits, and the 2:00 pm IMAX movie. The lecture takes place in the Grayson Boehm Lecture Hall.. Lectures often sell out so come early to purchase lecture tickets by 11:00 a.m. and then enjoy the galleries and special senior discounts in the cafe and store before the lecture. At this month's lecture, "Connected: The Surprising Power of Social Networks", Dr. James Fowler will discuss how our social networks drive and shape virtually every aspect of our lives. How we feel, whom we marry, whether we fall ill, how much money we make, and whether we vote all depend on what others around us even those distantly connected to us are doing, thinking, and feeling. Learn how these connections have an ancient evolutionary past and how this will affect our new life as technology moves our networks online. The IMAX movie will be "WILD CALIFORNIA."
