Event description: 

Expression through words and songs is at the heart of human communication. How do the tubes and lips in our head and neck coordinate vocal expressions ranging from raucous to sublime? How far can simple science concepts go toward modeling the subtleties of the human voice? Please join Dan Boye for this fun performance of science and music.
Dan Boye is a summer visiting fellow in the Technical Studies Lab of Yale’s Institute for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage and the Paul B. Freeland Professor of Physics at Davidson College. He applies 3D X-ray imaging to art and artifact and develops new optical and luminescent materials. Dedicated to bringing together science and the performing arts, Dan has provided educational opportunities for thousands of public school students and adults of all ages, musical and scientific backgrounds. With his strong bass-baritone voice, he is a veteran of over 40 professional opera productions.
