Nerd Nite Tokyo #80: Lighting Up and Lights Above
Study Abroad Pub - Shin Okubo, ＳｈｉｎＯｋｕｂｏコミュニケーションビル B1F, 2 Chome-11-23 Hyakunincho, Shinjuku City, Tokyo 169-0073, Tokyo, JP日本語の説明は下記にあります！
The July 2026 edition of Nerd Nite Tokyo is happening at Study Abroad Pub near Shinjuku, and we are back to our regular pace of two smart speakers. While we’ve just celebrated our 10th anniversary proper last month, we continue with our 10th anniversary year of one new speaker and one returning speaker.
First up, Christopher Rathbone wants you to think again before you light up. In his presentation, he blows away the smoke and mirrors around the global tobacco industry, illuminating how corporate exploitation and maneuvering have led to multi-layered and long-lasting harms to society, and how we can extinguish it.
Next is former volunteer and old friend of the show Don Warren (human), who wants you to look up to the lights above:
> Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to Yokohama, but that’s just peanuts to space. In all that big huge vastness, what shines brighter than anything else out there?
Doors open at 7 PM. Come early and get your drinks and socialize before the show proper starts at 8 PM!
You can also find our event information on Facebook and our website; check our homepage's sidebar for all of our social media and mailing lists.
Speakers:
- Christopher Rathbone (@uenochris on Twitter) — “Beyond the Smoke: An Insider Look at Tobacco Control”
- Don Warren (definitely human) (off social media, harder to reach but happier) — “The Brightest Thing in the Sky”
When: July 17 (Friday), doors open 19:00, start 19:45
Where: Study Abroad Pub, just one stop away from Shinjuku Station on the Yamanote or Chuo lines (Google Maps)
Price: ¥1000 at the door; advance online tickets are available from our homepage.
