"This is physics. It's also politics. The two are sometimes painfully difficult to keep apart." "Copenhagen", the 2000 Tony Award winner for Best Play, explores an explosive confrontation between science and politics. Inspired by actual events that have intrigued and baffled historians for more than 50 years, "Copenhagen" revolves around a 1941 meeting between two brilliant physicists, Niels Bohr of Denmark and Germany's Werner Heisenberg. The two men were long-time friends whose work together opened the way to the atomic bomb, but who were now on opposite sides of World War II. This pivotal meeting was a defining moment of the nuclear age, yet its true nature remains a mystery. Why did Heisenberg go to Copenhagen? What was he hoping to accomplish? The search for an unknowable truth forms the core of "Copenhagen." In the uncertain times of 1941, "Copenhagen" is a refreshing reminder of the value of seeking the truth.

Science and seafood: understanding and protecting a precious natural resource If you love seafood, you’re not alone — but every bite comes from a complex and fragile marine ecosystem. To keep our ocean ecosystems thriving and our seafood resources abundant, we need a deeper scientific understanding of how they function. Join Scripps Oceanography Assistant Professor Dr. Colleen Petrik for a fascinating talk on how cutting-edge ecosystem modeling is helping us understand and protect the marine life we depend on. By blending biology, physics, and mathematics, Dr. Petrik creates “mini ecosystems” on a computer that show how ocean life responds to environmental changes — many of which are driven by human activity. Discover how this innovative approach guides smarter fisheries management and ocean conservation decisions, supporting sustainable seafood for the future. Seating is limited and lectures often sell out, so advanced registration is strongly recommended. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the lecture begins at 7 p.m. Visit: https://aquarium.ucsd.edu/events/perspectives-lecture-series-november Scripps Instn. of Oceanography on Instagram and Facebook

The 2026 San Diego Art Prize winners were recently announced: three visual artists — Tatiana Ortiz-Rubio, Ingrid Hernández and Danielle Dean — creating in vastly different forms and processes, from photography and murals to immersive installations.

Sunday, October 26, from 2:30-4:30 p.m. All ages are welcome! Join us for a hands-on, family-friendly workshop in preparation for Día de los Muertos. In this session, you will create personalized memorial shadow boxes—miniature shrines built inside upcycled wooden cigar boxes—to honor and remember a loved one or pet who has passed. Using photocopied photos or hand-drawn portraits, along with meaningful decorations, these shadow boxes serve as heartfelt tributes that celebrate memory, legacy, and connection beyond the physical world. You will leave with a completed shrine, ready to be displayed during the Día de los Muertos festivities on November 2. You’re also invited to place your shrine on one of our community altars in either the Dorothea Laub Dance Place building or the Dorothea Laub Music & Arts Center (where we are located). If you choose to include your shrine in one of our public altars, your shrine will be available for pickup after the celebration during the week of November 3. No experience necessary. All materials included. This event is hosted by San Diego Craft Collective. For more free family-fun, please join us the next weekend for more Día de los Muertos fun, with two free events: Mini Music Making & Paper Flower Craft | Ages 0-8yrs and an all-ages Día de los Muertos Celebration. This project was made possible through the Arts District Liberty Station Collaborative Funding Program. • Military, first responders and sibling discounts San Diego Craft Collective on Facebook / Instagram ========================================================================================= FROM KPBS
