Nerdnite April 26 (Tomorrow!)
Hello Boston nerds and friends of nerds,
The next Nerdnite will take place Monday April 26. I know I always
say this, but it’s gonna be a real good one! As usual, the Middlesex
will play host to our nerdy gathering, starting at 8pm. DJ Claude
Money will provide the nerd-appropriate tunes.
The talks:
1. No One Has Any Idea How Your Brain Works. (…and How Scientists
Are Changing That)
by Mark Histed
Mark’s main claim to fame is going to the same high school as Pam from
The Office. (Though many of his friends point out that he actually
from Archbald, Pennsylvania, he still insists that he is “from
Scranton”.) At his real job, he is a neuroscientist who is interested
in how 100 billion electrically active neurons in your brain could
possibly be connected together to control your movements, thought, and
perceptions of the outside world. Mark will give a very nerdy talk
about how we don’t understand the brain very much at all right now,
what the field is currently doing about that situation, and why he
thinks we will make serious progress in the next few years.
2. Mud, Sticks and Manure: Scatological Architecture and other Truly
Sustainable Construction Methods
by Eugenia Magann
Eugenia is an architect with a background in historic preservation.
With extensive forays into research on sustainable construction, she has
found a truth and beauty in earth, plant and fiber based structures.
Be there and be square!

The
Nerdnite is tonight — and regrets for those with religious conflicts
Hi everyone,
Don't forget that Nerdnite is tonight. 8pm at the Middlesex. $5.
Come hear about fly genetics and mass extinction.
My apologies to all who can't attend due to Seder

My apologies to all who can’t attend due to Seder
conflicts…unfortunately we have the “last monday of the month” date
at the Middlesex and it is hard to change if it happens to fall on an
important holiday. So if you can’t make it tonight I hope you’ll be
there and be square on april 26!

Nerdnite March 29: In the long run we are all dead
Hello Boston Nerds and Nerd-adjacent individuals,
The next Nerdnite is coming up next Monday, March 29 at the Middlesex. We’ll get things started at 8pm. As usual we’ll feature two nerdy speakers and nerd-appropriate tunes from DJ Claude Money.
The Talks:
Phoebe Cohen — “Mass Extinction Will Get You Every Time: A Brief History of Life’s Worst Moments”
Phoebe is finishing up her PhD in paleontology at Harvard University. Really, she should be writing her thesis instead of giving a Nerd Nite talk, but couldn’t pass up the opportunity. While her research is on the early evolution of life (think – fossilized amoeba) she’s generally fascinated with the perpetual destruction and renewal of life on Earth. After defending, Phoebe will be moving on down Mass Ave to do education and public outreach for a NASA Astrobiology grant program at MIT.
Rebekah Rogers — “Adaptive impacts of a chimeric gene in Drosophila melanogaster.”
Rebekah’s talk will feature bio/genetic nerdiness from a molecular evolutionary biologist.
