Each week, Jackalope Ranch brings you a free event, workshop, or you-name-it happening in Phoenix. Because sometimes the best things in life really are free. This week's freebie: Adults' Night Out.

Sometimes it seems like kids get all the perks -- their cereal boxes come with prizes, their dinner menus come with crayons, and then there's that whole not-having-to-work-for-a-living thing.

Fortunately the Arizona Science Center is letting adults have a little fun of their own with its free event, Adults' Night Out.

This monthly event occurs every First Friday and offers thought-provoking lectures, with the option of also attending film screenings and exploring the center's featured exhibits sans children.

The Adults' Night Out on June 7 will feature a 7 p.m. lecture, "Medical ethics 101; Asking the hard questions," by Dr. David Beyda, MD, Professor of Pediatrics; Director, Ethics and Humanism at the University of Arizona College of Medicine.

The lecture will be followed by a film screening of Black Holes in the Dorrance Planetarium at 8:15 p.m. Film admission is an additional $8, and admission to "Da Vinci - The Genius" is $12.

For more information or to pre-register visit the Arizona Science Center online.
