Physics & Foam: We're Talking Tubes: The Bioacoustics of Speech

  • Loveland Aleworks 118 West 4th St Loveland, co 80537 US (map)

Blurb: Speech is one of those things that you probably don't think about - you just do it. But how do we produce speech?  Speech is sound, and we use over 70 muscles and 15 cranial and spinal nerves to produce that sound.  Surprisingly, the way this all works is very similar to how many musical instruments work.  Dr. Don Finan, from the University of Northern Colorado Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, will discuss how musical instruments and our own anatomy make sounds and how we can make duck calls talk! And yes, why we are talking tubes!  Join us for Physics and Foam, complete with delicious beer, fascinating science, and trivia for prizes!
