Nerd Nite at Sea returns, a gigantic night of science spectacle for grown-ups! And this year we've got a bigger boat: an aircraft carrier! Nerd Nite at Sea is a joint venture of Nerd Nite SF, Nerd Nite East Bay, and the Bay Area Science Festival aboard the historic USS Hornet. Learn about synesthesia, a perceptual condition in which there is an involuntary blending of one or more of the senses. Hear about the multi-faceted issue of asteroid impacts on Earth. Take in a hand-drawn visual account of the historical evolution of electronics. Demos and various activities will be on hand to fascinate: build and race your own solar car, check out the synesthesia simulator hack, handle meteoroid samples.
Nerd Nite is a monthly lecture-in-a-bar series where scientists, technologists, historians, and other "nerds" give short talks in exchange for free beer. Nerd Nite strives to be funny, inebriated, and entertaining, yet always deeply educational.
