Assistant Professor Jonathan Bean
Award-winning stand-up comedian and science podcast host Shane Mauss presents Stand Up Science!
Stand-up comedy and science have a lot in common. They both reveal truth, change our perceptions, and challenge the status quo. So why are they so underappreciated? Admittedly, comedy sometimes underestimates the intelligence of their audience, catering to the lowest common denominator. And science has the stigma of being overly complicated, unrelatable or boring. Until now.
Comedian Shane Mauss
Funnier and more provocative than TED Talks, while smarter than traditional stand-up comedy, Stand Up Science combines the best of both worlds. This thought-provoking night of laughs will leave you a little smarter, a little happier and send you home with plenty of fuel for your own conversations.
This show features Jonathan Bean, assistant professor of architecture, sustainable built environments, and marketing. Bean is known for his research on taste, hygge, and IKEA hacking, and is featured on an episode of the 99% Invisible podcast. Bean led three finalist teams in the 2019 Solar Decathlon Design Challenge and was so inspired by their SunBlock concept for a more sustainable, equitable Tucson that he built a prototype house.
