Nerd Nite + Photography Exhibition

This month's Nerd Nite is a special symbiotic edition. What is more symbiotic than bees and flowers? Maybe a group of curious-minded individuals coming together to share their knowledge WHILE PARTYING.

Talk #1 "Frankenflower: Reprogramming Plants" with Otho Mantegazza
Genes encode instructions on how to build an organism and the "software" to run it. From mutations to genome modification we are slowly learning to rewrite these instructions. Otho is going to show you how with examples from the world of plants and flowers.

Otho is a PhD student in molecular biology and studies how flowers are built. He's interested in anything that is scientific and technological, he loves the sea, and listens to a lot of electronic music.

Talk #2 "art photography and bees sex" with Renee Ricciardi

Renee is an art photogapher and beekeeper on her second tour of Italy to photograph and experience beekeeping in Italy. Come to hear about breeding queen bees, the ins and outs of beekeeping, to see her artwork, and to learn what Italy is doing to combat the worldwide problem of beehive collapse.
