<br>As part of Ohio University&#39;s Science Café series funded by the 1804 Fund, the Ohio University Graduate College will be hosting two free showings of &quot;PHD the Movie,&quot; at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 12, in Templeton Blackburn Alumni Memorial Auditorium. <br>
<br>Running time for the feature is one hour and 7 minutes. Though the film is not rated, audiences are advised to expect &quot;PG&quot; rating-style situations and humor. The film was produced in partnership with Caltech and currently is screening at hundreds of institutions around the globe. Seating will be first come, first serve. For more information and a link to the trailer, visit: <a style="color:rgb(102,102,102);text-decoration:underline" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=6nkdgpiab&amp;et=1108624900447&amp;s=55&amp;e=0014TXfUJqFv-UNbivXFY-JVyxCMPl55qT3ocoYbCwxQrYcuSBLTMOvoZvHBGb1Fq9zmNk8buNolkkXqVw0JRioOn-EHYNd77P_2RxJi0kb4salkmjsmBEYq6EJ6Fe29NHBrJllmQwYsrI=" shape="rect" target="_blank">http://www.ohio.edu/graduate/phdmovie.cfm</a>.</td>
