Not your average Seniors' talk!  Come and hear from Newcastle Museum's resident scientist, Catherine, and learn about the weird world of bizarre animal and insect sex including the astonishing extendable sex organ of the Spotted Hyena.  Then delve into the science of swearing, including a demonstration of the physical benefits to a potty mouth!
