…so I make up these titles with just jumbles of words relevant to the presentations, but sometimes they come out eerily meaningful. I like to sing this one to the tune of Jamiroquai’s ‘Virtual Insanity’.
…no? No one? Bueller?
Well, anyway, topics and speakers for our June event are in! Check it:
“Psychology of the Dark Side.” Have you ever wondered why people turn to the dark side IRL? We’ll talk about the scientific research on pathways to antisocial behavior and the Sith characters from Star Wars. -Katie Gordon and Brandon Sexton, holders of fancy pants psych degrees and founders of Jedi Counsel, which explores mental health issues in fictional characters.
“Past and Present Climate Change: Distinguishing the Natural from the Unnatural.” What constitutes natural and unnatural climate change? How can geologic information be used to compare the modern rates of temperature and carbon dioxide rise to those of the prehistoric past? (I promise it won’t be all doom and gloom.) -Benjamin Laabs, geologist, climate scientist, ice enthusiast.
“The Science Behind Virtually Spectacular 360º Images.” You’ve probably seen 360º photographic content on Google Street View, but do you know what creating a 360º photo entails? We’ll be discussing the mathematics, technology, and science behind creating breathtaking 360º imagery. -Matthew Chaussee, CEO of Be More Colorful virtual tours.
Sounds awesome, right? Hit us up on Monday June 19th, 7PM, at Fargo Billiards and Gastropub. NOTE that’s 7PM, not 7:30 like it’s usually been. Bring your thirst for knowledge, and your thirst for tasty beers, and we’ll see you there!
