Nerd Nite Tokyo is happening again at Study Abroad Pub near Shinjuku, but this time we are bringing you not two, but three talks that are sure to leave an impression.
Two of our speakers are new, but as is the theme of our tenth anniversary, we welcome back a speaker from the before times!
On the subject of before times, our first speaker Shania James takes us way back on the geological time scale, back to The Big Bonk that wiped out the (non-avian) dinosaurs, and how we know it from the thin layer of clay that was left.
Next, Upasana Jhariya shows us what we can do about the toxic waste that we leave behind; how tiny ferro-cious superheroes use iron to remove heavy metals from water and help restore ecosystems.
Finally, Michael Gakuran will show us how to rethink abandoned spaces and places, and find how the “in-between” contextualizes what lies on either side… and beyond.
Doors open at 7 PM. Come early and get your drinks and socializing in before the show proper starts at 7:45 PM!
You can also find our event information on Facebook and Meetup; check the sidebar for all of our social media and mailing lists. Help us promote Nerd Nite by signing up on our event listings and sharing our social media posts!
