Continuing Education, at the Bar
Whether it’s credentialed neuroscientists delivering a solid happy hour on the mysteries of the brain or tag teams of amateurs competing to give the best 15-minute PowerPoint on cephalopod sex or fake alphabets, never has New York (or Brooklyn, anyway) offered so many opportunities to get smart while also getting a bit stupid. Here’s a survey of some offbeat lecture series that let the intellectually curious go back to school, without the homework.
- Secret Science Club
- Nerd Nite
- Moonlighter Presents
- Brooklyn Brainery
- Open City Dialogue Series
- Proteus Gowanus
- The Public School
ps update: This isn’t a NYC bar pic, but is a CC photo that “goes with” the story.
um, if I was in NYC I would totally get in on this.
