The Story Collider is a live story-telling event in which people share personal stories that have something to do with science.  Each story is about 15 minutes long, often are funny or poignant.  The creators of the event are Ben Lillie and Brian Wecht, a former meet-up guest from May 2011.

The Story Collider events are recorded and made into audio podcasts, which you can subscribe to on the website or in iTunes.  Some of my personal favorite episodes are the stories by Erin Barker, Seth Lind, and Ben and Brian’s).

On Thursday, June 21st, the Story Collider will be hosting an event here in Ann Arbor at Live!  It’s free and open to the public.  This will be the fourth time Brian and Ben have put on the show here in Michigan.  If you’re otherwise not doing anything, I would encourage you to check it out.  It’s really a fun time!  And if you go, make sure you get there early!
