Nerd Nite Tokyo #70: Art and Action

While the Tokyo Business Meetup is on hiatus, we would like to highlight an event that we believe many of our members would enjoy.

Nerd Nite Tokyo is a social event on Friday nights each month, presenting talks on a wide variety of topics in science, literature, history, the arts, engineering, technology, the environment, and current events. Think of it as a more casual form of TED.

Here's a brief description of this month's event from the organizers:

Every month, we gather some smart speakers and a curious crowd, add a bar, and create something unique. This month, we’re in Sugamo to talk about children in need and your brain on art! As always, we will have cafe food and craft beer on tap.

First, Hands On Tokyo program coordinator Katie Gray will take the stage to discuss how we can help address child poverty in Japan. Then, neuroscience researcher Nicholas Schwier explores how art interacts with our brains!

Drinks (both alcoholic and non) as well as food will be available. Check out the menu here and come early; we’re opening the doors at 7 PM. Drink, meet, and be square-y! Kids are also welcome at Nerd Nite.
