It's cold outside, but so hot in here! Come hang out with Nerd Nite this January to get educated on the toastiest topics known to man:

The Lineup:

"Physics Experiments You Can Do When You’re Bored at a Baseball Game" [Ryan Linehan] Are you currently on a bad date with someone who’s a little TOO into the Cubs? Or, are you out at a White Sox game and realizing that, with the third inning gone and your beer and hotdog gone with it, you have a whole stultifying SIX innings left? If this is you (and let’s be honest, it is), look no further! Ryan will regale you with physics measurements you can make yourself with basic tools! Learn how to measure the speed of sound, radius of the earth, and more!
"No More Coal! How it is and isn’t created" [Jason St. John] Despite what we were told, the recipe for coal is not to smush and bake dinosaurs a few megaannua. We’ll cover pop culture, pop science, the geological history of Earth, plant and fungal genetics, and shit your Mom says.
"Sex! (but probably not what you're thinking...)" [Erica Snider] Though many aspects of human sexuality vary widely among people, we often think of the underlying biological sex as a simple binary of male and female. This talk will explore some of the complexities of biological sex in humans that show, like other things in life, nothing is simple.

From Dracula ants to wimpy black holes, from the art of breadmaking to the science of, well, anything – if it's nerdy, it's fair game.
