April readings and a couple of podcasts!
Hi everyone, I'm super excited/terrified that on April 25, I'll be speaking at the notoriously raucous Nerd Nite East Bay!
Food (grilled cheese!), drinks and pre-show start at 7 pm; talks begin at 8 pm. We'll be at Club 21, located at 2111 Franklin Street in Oakland, CA.
My talk is called "Perception Hacking for Cyborgs (This Means You)." Also on deck for the night: Stuart Gripman will talk about famous but phony fish and Lori Lambertson will talk about climate change.
Advance tickets are $8; tickets are $10 at the door.
If you'd like to support the Walnut Creek Library Foundation, I'll be one of many Bay Area writers helping host their Author's Gala reception and dinner on April 16. Among the other authors are my pal and fellow brain science nerd Eric Simons ("The Secret Lives of Sports Fans"), former Salon editor David Talbot, and former Golden State Warrior Adonal Foyle.
More information on prices, directions and the silent auction is here.
Finally, a couple of new podcasts!
I had a great time with host Molly Bentley on the Big Picture Science podcast. (Pun-tastic title: Eve of Disruption)
And I loved chatting with Mike, Matt and Alpha the Computer on Robot Overlordz, the podcast with the best name ever.
Are there any science podcasts you love? Let me know -- I'll reach out to them and see if they'd be interested in a chat about perception hacking!
