O que melhor nos representa
If you are excited by science - but not necessarily a science professional - and you live in the Atlanta area, then the Atlanta Science Tavern is the meetup for you.
Our program is centered on a fourth Saturday of the month meeting at a tavern or brewery, which features a speaker - typically a scientist from a nearby university or research center - who presents his or her work to a smart general audience of science enthusiasts. We also host occasional presentations as part of our ongoing Young Researchers Series, which features talks by graduate students and postdocs.
In addition, we organize social outings and field trips that provide opportunities for our members to experience science as it expresses itself in the community at large. Public lectures at local universities, most prominently the Georgia Tech College of Sciences, are a mainstay of our meetup calendar.
See you at the Tavern!
Cheers,
- The Science for Georgia team
Note:
- Unapproved soliciting of any kind is not allowed at our events.
- We expect adherence to all health & safety guidelines of venues and authorities.

# The Science of Choice: Why Ranked Choice Voting Isn't Just for Politics
May 21st, 2024
7pm - 9pm
In Person
Location: Mutation Brewing, 5825 Roswell Rd NE, Sandy Springs, GA 30328## Description
Why is it so hard for third-party candidates to win modern elections? How does voting in political races differ from the way college teams are ranked or how the Oscars are awarded? And how can a business, city, or state choose among multiple candidates for a program without a costly and time-consuming runoff procedure? The answers to these questions can be found in understanding concepts from Ranked Choice Voting and Game Theory, a branch of mathematics devoted to interactive decisions.
If you've heard phrases like "win-win" and "zero-sum" or seen movies like "The Dark Knight" and "A Beautiful Mind", you've already been exposed to ideas from game theory. In particular, we will look at alternative voting mechanisms, and how you can implement them with your organization, whether it's something like choosing a location for the office holiday party, deciding on what brand of coffee to put in the break room, or how to select a board chairman from several candidates.
Those wanting a preview of some of the topics can check out the interactive web apps here on The Evolution of Trust and Building a Better Ballot or follow this link to Sci4ga's Ranked Choice white paper.
