Austin, TX: Hot Science – Cool Talks @ UT Austin

Dogs have an astounding ability to read our gestures and understand our words, often seeming to know exactly what we’re thinking. But exactly how smart is man’s best friend? Join Hot Science – Cool Talks for a conversation with Dr. Brian Hare, whose research focuses on understanding and explaining canine cognition. Dr. Hare will share the inside scoop on how the dog brain works and how to use his research to raise a great dog yourself.

Hot Science – Cool Talks events are immersive educational experiences held at the UT campus. Each talk consists of:

  • Cool Activities: Prior to each talk, attendees explore the evening’s topic through hands-on activities and demonstrations the whole family can enjoy.
  • Talk with Q & A: Speakers lead a 40-50 minute talk, followed by a 15-20 minute moderated Q & A.
