Wisconsin Science Festival - Words with Nerds: Spooky Edition

Join us on Thursday, October 17 for Words with Nerds, a great show for information sponges who love to laugh!

Words with Nerds mixes TED Talks with stand-up by bringing together local specialists and comedians to present on a topic of their choice. Come for the laughs and walk away with strange new knowledge - previous performers have regaled audiences with presentations about dinosaur rib anatomy, a principal component analysis of the Taco Bell Menu, nipple equality activism in Madison, how people misuse statistics, what can be learned from watching 100 Hallmark movies, how to perform self-surgery, and much, much more.

Speakers and topics at this show include:

Greg Kveberg - “The Horrors of Slavic History and Mythology”
Quinn James - “CATS! A Costumed Musical Bonanza that Defined a Neurodivergent Generation or Three”
Katie Ricks - “How Spooky is Divorce, Anyway?”
