Words with Nerds

Join us on Thursday, February 15 for a special Valentine’s Day edition of Words with Nerds! It’s a time to reflect on the things we’re really passionate about… even if it’s really embarrassing.

Presentations and stand-up comedy slated at this show will feature: Rachel Mac - “Christian Music for Heathens” Ashleigh Gradel - “Nascar: It’s Not Just for Rednecks” Diya Basrai - “Mind into Matter: A Discussion of Brain-Computer Interfaces” Hosted by: Sasha Rosser 

Words with Nerds mixes TED Talks with stand-up by bringing together local specialists and comedians to present on a topic of their choice. Come for the laughs and walk away with strange new knowledge – previous performers have regaled audiences with presentations about dinosaur rib anatomy, a principal component analysis of the Taco Bell Menu, nipple equality activism in Madison, how people misuse statistics, what can be learned from watching 100 Hallmark movies, and much, much more.
