SOCIAL: Nerd Nite Madison!

Join us for another edition of Nerd Nite Madison! This fun, free event features three different community members giving short presentations on "nerdy" topics they're passionate about.

This is not an event that Madison Women in Tech is hosting, but one that we're attending together as a group.

The event starts at 8pm, but we'll be there from 7:30pm on to snag seats. (Depending on the month, seats can fill up quickly, so we recommend arriving early!)

This month’s topics:

“We will start with Gigi Melone and a group of ‘Insect Ambassadors’ from UW-Madison's Entomology department. It's about time we gave bugs some love!

Next up is Whitney Thompson, giving a talk about the "Taylor Swift" of the 1800s: Under the nom de plume of Claribel, Charlotte Alington Barnard (1830-1869) published over 100 songs between 1859 and 1869, mostly in the sentimental- or drawing-room-ballad genre.

Last up is Kevin Bachhuber, who has a different angle on insect appreciation: food! He founded the US's first FDA inspected human food grade insect farm, and continues to work in the industry today.”

SCHEDULE

Feel free to arrive anytime after 7:30; the event itself starts at 8pm.
