2026-05-31 16:00 - 18:30 | Black Squirrel Club, 1049 Sarah St, Philadelphia, PA, 19125, United States
Profs and Pints Philadelphia presents: “Brain Stories,” a crash course on the basics of neuroscience interspersed with surprising tales from research in the field, with Stuart McCaughey, who teaches courses on neuroanatomy, neuropharmacology, and neurological disorders as an assistant professor at the University of Delaware.
Gain insights into how our brains work, and learn what research tells us about the causes of our behavior and the links between our brains and those of animals, with brain expert Stuart McCaughey of the University of Delaware.
Using an approach that wins him and his courses rave reviews from his university’s students, Dr. McCaughey will discuss the basic principles of his field and illustrate them by telling remarkable stories related to the history of neuroscience and the workings of the brains of human beings and animals.
He’ll start by taking you on a tour of the nervous system, explaining the functions of its different parts and how various drugs alter neurochemical events.
We’ll look at neurological syndromes with bizarre symptoms, at the results of fascinating science experiments, and at the unusual effects of psilocybic mushrooms on the brain.
We’ll consider some of the many strange questions that have arisen as scientists have pursued their quest to understand how the brain works. Among them: Was the French Revolution triggered by a fungus with psychedelic properties? Does Parkinson’s disease cause a unique body odor? Should you eat your experiments on neural development when you finish collecting data on them?
Your brain will thank you for bringing it to Philadelphia’s Black Squirrel Club for this talk. (Advance tickets: $13.50 plus processing fees. Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID. Doors open at 3:30 pm. Talk starts at 4:30.)

Room For Grief
2026-06-04 - 2026-06-24 | PA
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
[PHILADELPHIA, PA]— Room For Grief – Living with Loss in America — An immersive and interactive group art show featuring 100+ artists and performers unified by experiences of bereavement.
In a country built upon death and loss, the space to grieve is alarmingly absent. Our society leaves little physical or existential room for us to experience let alone process loss. This project points directly at this omission by making literal Room For Grief – dedicated, intentional space where these themes are expressed, witnessed and held in community.
Guests are invited to walk through the rooms of a house built by grief, woven together with the art that has helped us survive. Let our robust and diverse group of contributors show you what it is like to live, heal, struggle, cope and offer sanctuary for mourning at a time where the burden of grief in daily life is overwhelming. Join us as we grieve death, identity, health, security, safety, freedom, democracy, the fulfillment of promises that were made to us generationally. Together we hold up the walls to create Room For Grief.

Room for Grief comes alive with an opening reception on June 4th and is laid to rest at the closing reception on June 28th
The exhibition will be hosted at the historic Cherry Street Pier along the Delaware River – a beautiful and peaceful place to explore grief and be in community with other grievers, also mere blocks from Old City and the heart of the semisesquicentennial.
Our lovingly curated events lineup includes a Death Cafe, Beyond Loss Film Series, a performance in The Garden, spoken word and song performances, Grief Survival support, and more!

Call to Action: Join us in the Room for Grief this June. Visit the immersive installation, meet the artists, attend a robust lineup of events curated to support, uplift, and inspire grievers of all types and from all walks of life. Loss touches each one of us at some point in our lives, but we must not grieve alone. In community we can create a room for grief and hold the walls up together. Find more information at roomforgrief.org.
