On Stage w/ Eleanor Johnson, author of the upcoming Scream with Me, a baller book about women and horror! We’re gonna talk about why female reproductive organs should be called “contraceptive organs” — vagina dentata got nuthin’ on what really goes on down there. (Also a PSA for why IUDs actually work, why the history of contraception is actually just the history of female health care—kind of forever—and some good laughs.)

Is Fat Female? Live @ Cornell with Kate Manne! We'll be talking about the evolution of the female body, especially adipose tissue (fat!) and what we should think about all that in 2025 (of all the freakin’ years to be an American female).  And yes, we'll totally talk about Ozempic...  you can bet your long-evolved fat ass we will. 132 Goldwin Smith Hall. https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2025/02/bohannon-manne-event-focuses-female-body-image-evolution

Moms on Mars! Cat Bohannon roped Kelly Weinersmith into a comedy-science-fashion show. No, really. It’s gonna be bonkers. There’ll be dancers. A heavily pregnant actress in a gas mask. Vibrators from Lelo. Cat filed an actual patent for a Mars bra. And a bevy of badass feminist artists created amazing wearables and art objects to help astronauts get knocked up on Mars and maybe not die trying. Trust us: if you miss this, you’re gonna be really sad for a long time.

Dinner for Primates @ Responsive Conference: I’m creating a dinner experience around the science of sexed perception! Collaborating with a local woman chef, I’ma do my science & comedy thing while diners figure out when & where it might matter that their noses and mouths and olfactory bulbs are biologically sexed (and the surprising places it actually doesn’t). Inebriation will be involved. An ad hoc scientific experiment is gonna happen. No IRB approval for this one, people—it’s gonna be fun. https://www.responsiveconference.com/

Bloom Festival of Science, Copenhagen, DK. Two events here!
