CALENDAR There’s much to be said about the artistry of cooking, but for Guy Crosby, the science of food takes the cake. Crosby is coming to Eugene on May 5 to share his perspective as science editor for Cook’s Illustrated magazine, a regular fix- ture of America’s Test Kitchen on PBS and co-author of The Science of Good Cooking. With a Ph.D. in organic chemistry, Crosby gets down to a molecular level when describing why excess baking soda collapses cookies, or why fish poached in water cooks faster than fish cooked in oil. At The Science Factory’s “Scientifically Speaking Gala and Auction,” Crosby will expound on the science of taste, explaining just what a “super-taster” is and why those with sensitive taste buds are pickier eaters. For dinner and a science lesson, check out “Scientifically Speaking,” a fundraiser for The Science Factory and Nearby Nature, 5:30-9pm Thursday, May 5, at the Eugene Hilton, 60 E. 6th Ave.; $85 per seat or $800 per table of 10, see sciencefactory.org for tix, reserve by April 29.
