WSF teams up with what The Wall Street Journal calls “New York’s hottest and hippest literary ticket,” The Moth, for an innovative series of unpredictable storytelling.

The Nobel Prize-winning physicist Frank Wilczek recounts how imprecise editing in popular science media can lead to apocalyptic visions, as well as awkwardly hilarious moments.
