Description

For the last year and a half, crowds have gathered each month in the early evening - in bars and venues around Ann Arbor. Around 7 pm, it begins: three boisterous speakers geek out up front. What is this? Some secret club?

Nope! It's Nerd Nite Ann Arbor! And it's open to anyone and everyone who loves to learn or share what they love.

For the uninitiated, Nerd Nite (NN) has been described as “...like the Discovery Channel™…with beer!” Sounds fun, right? It is! NN is held monthly in 70+ cities, giving several folks the opportunity to give 18-21 minute fun-yet-informative presentations across all disciplines. Imagine learning about everything from the science of the Simpsons to the genealogy of Godzilla. Fun stuff!

So show up, have a drink, meet other nerds, and learn a bunch of awesome new junk!

Macrophages, Traffic Tactics, and the Hippocampus!
Get the skinny on under-appreciated “sentinel” cells called macrophages, pick up tricks to boost your errand-running efficiency, and investigate something called Growth Factor X’s role in the brain – is it truly a hero or a villain?

-Gabriel Martinez-Santibañez - Fat and Diabetes: What it is, how it works, and how to get rid of it
-Moritz Niendorf - Recalculating Route: Go to the Post Office Before the Grocery
-Elyse L. Aurbach - Growth Factor X: Superhero or Villain in the Depressed Brain?

Join us for a special super-science edition of Nerd Nite, featuring speakers from the University of Michigan’s RELATE program. Grab a drink, bring a friend, and immerse yourself in some of the research being done right in our very own fair city.

AADL is sponsoring this month's event, so there will be NO COVER (usually $5)!
Doors open at 6:30 pm, and speakers start at 7 pm LIVE is at 102 South 1st Street.

Mark your calendars and spread the word! Any and all nerds (and non-nerds!) who love learning and having a great time are welcome to join us!
