The Winter Issue of our magazine just hit the streets. The Mad Science Issue is full of mind blowing science stories, tricks on transforming your iPod into a pirate radio and of course our Winter classes & events. You can pick one up in coffee shops, bars, boutiques & restaurants through out Brooklyn & Lower Manhattan or you can download a copy here.
PLUS Starting this month 3rd Ward is offering a free, monthly, theme-based lecture series. In conjunction with The Mad Science Issue we’ll inaugurate this program with the Science of the Everyday inspired by the work of Michael Faraday.
The lectures will take place at 573 Metropolitan Avenue on Tuesdays in December from 7 to 9 p. RSVP is strongly encouraged: call 718.715.4961 or visit the website.
The Art of Distillation, Tuesday, December 15, 7 to 9 p
Learn about the science of alcohol production from malting to aging.
Presented by Joseph O'Sullivan, former head distiller of Clear Creek Distillery in Portland, Oregon.
The Science behind the Fluids around Us, Tuesday, December 22, 7 to 9 p
From the human circulatory system to large scale atmospheric circulation, the movement of fluid has directed evolution on earth and etched a signature throughout the solar system.
Presented by Jonathan Colby, hydrodynamic engineer at the local renewable energy company, Verdant Power.
Biophysics at the Nanoscale, Tuesday, December 29, 7 to 9 p
This is the scale in which the machinery of our cells operate, where evolution has produced so many robust solutions to a host of fundamental challenges. Recently developed technologies allow us to explore this world directly.
Presented by Matthew Fagerberg, a researcher in the field of molecular biophysics and nanotechnology at University of Pittsburg.
