Grab a drink from the cash bar, settle in, and get ready for a night of fascinating talks, unexpected topics, and big nerd energy. Kaleideum is excited to host the inaugural Nerd Nite, bringing together curious minds for informal presentations that are equal parts smart and entertaining.

This month’s lineup includes:

• Dean Wilcox (UNCSA) on the strange art of glitch and circuit bending
• Karrie Adams (Wake Forest Institute of Regenerative Medicine) on finding belonging in science as a first-generation Southerner with an Ed.D.
• Jamie Ryan on why Frankenstein is actually the scientist — not the monster

Whether you’re into pop culture, science, theatre, technology, or just love learning something new, nerd nite is your chance to nerd out after hours.

Tickets: Members $10 online | $12 at the door. (Includes museum admission.) Members are $5 | $6 at the door.
