Time: 8pm
Location: High Noon Saloon
Join us for our last Nerd Nite before summer break!
First is Manushi Vatani with “Martin Shkreli: The Man, The Meme, The Menace”. Manushi says “Join me for the wild story of how a smug hedge fund kid became the most hated man in America—raising drug prices, feuding with Wu-Tang Clan, and somehow still thinking he was the hero. From his meteoric rise to his inevitable downfall, this is the ultimate guide to the internet’s favorite pharma bro.”
Our second speaker is Ken Fager, sharing “A Nerdy Intro to 3D Printing”. It is getting even easier to make just about anything with a 3D printer. Local artist Ken Fager will print a Mini WI live during an introduction to the highs and lows of this creative technology.
Last for the night is Addison Smith: “Castles: The Aircraft Carriers of the Middle Ages”. Anchors aweigh, my knights! 
These two apparently dissimilar structures fill essentially the same niche in their respective strategic contexts. I’ll be taking you on a whirlwind tour of medieval military history, and modern military/naval history (WWI-present), to make the case that they’re far more similar than they seem. If you still aren’t convinced, feel free to use the Q&A period to poke holes in my theory, as long as you can phrase your objection in the form of a question.
