Latest earthquakes … Santa Ana winds to return Friday and Saturday … Who is it? Not Eva Braun, or Ayn Rand, or …
Author Deborah Blum, who won the Pulitzer Prize for examining how primates are used in research, will visit UCI’s Beckman Center at 7 p.m. Tuesday to give a free public talk titled “Ghost Hunters: Can Science Explain the Supernatural?”
The title is partly drawn from Blum’s highly praised 2006 book, “Ghost Hunters: William James and the Search for Scientific Proof of Life After Death.” James was a pioneering Harvard psychologist and philosopher who joined with colleagues in applying scientific techniques to explore claims of the paranormal.
There are no seats left for Blum’s talk. However, we’re telling you about it because seats sometimes become available through cancellations, and we wouldn’t want you to miss Blum, who is fascinating. You can check on tickets by calling 949- 387-6622.
By the way, Beckman Center is on a small knoll at the corner of University and California, on the Irvine campus. There’s plenty of parking.
