Wowza- what a fantastic show last week! Thanks so much to our speakers William, Amber, and Logan for taking time to share their nerderies with us, to our wonderful venue Front Street Taproom for taking good care of us as always, and to everyone who came out to share it with us. Further resources from our speakers:

Follow up on a few of William’s studies on where econ meets obesity:

    • Addiction to sugar leads to increased consumption, regardless of future prices
  • Miljkovic, Dragan, and William Nganje. “Regional Obesity Determinants in the United States: A Model of Myopic Addictive Behavior in Food Consumption.” Agricultural Economics, A Journal of the International Association of Agricultural Economists, Vol. 38 (3):375-384, 2008.
    • Addiction to sugar leads to increased consumption, regardless of current prices

And keep up with Logan’s adventures in microbiology at https://drekkerbrewing.com/beers/. I didn’t capture his list of recommendations but I’ll see if I can get it. 😅

Anyway, there’s only one way to beat a show that fun…and it’s with our annual BEST OF!! Three of our favorite speakers from the past year are returning for encore performances- I know who they are, but I don’t know what topics they’ll choose to bless us with, and in either case you are just going to have to wait for details, mwaaa ha haaaa. 😈

BUT tickets are on sale now at Eventbrite for Thursday November 20th, 7PM (doors at 6:30), at the Cellar below Front Street Taproom. Grab your tickets in advance or bring $10 to the door- same price to you either way. See you there.
