Toronto's Online Story Hour: Misguided

On Friday, June 25th at 7 pm ET, join us for our online live show! Three storytellers from Toronto will share their true, personal stories about how science is sometimes a bit misguided. We'll also invite our audience to share their ten-word stories on the theme as well!

This event is free, or you may pay up to $50 on a sliding scale if you wish to donate to The Story Collider. Reserve your spot and watch here or on the page below!

Produced and hosted by Misha Gajewski and Sara Mazrouei.
