I hope so. There are also talks at the APS in College Park but I
misplaced the info.

[gippgig]

www.aps.org/units/maspg/ for the APS talks at the American Center for Physics in College Park usually on the 3rd Wednesday at 1PM.

[gippgig]

Has HacDC considered having its own series of science talks (besides the rare lightning talks)? There is a lot of research going on in the area (another example: www.spacedaily.com/reports/Researchers_see_Kelvin_wave_on_quantum_tornado_for_first_time_999.html) so there should be no shortage of possible speakers.

If you're volunteering to coordinate them, I'll bet people would be receptive. http://wiki.hacdc.org/index.php/How_to_Run_an_Event has a bunch of information about how to do so.

Checked out the link for "dc.nerdnite.com", which eventually lead me to a couple interesting and entertaining videos by Ali Mattu who seems to be a popular figure there.
3 Easy Steps to Create Star Trek's Utopian Future @ Nerd Nite which uses Star Trek to indirectly say HacDC would be better if we had more activities that involve more of us -- which I think some of us knew instinctively, so we have things like game night, which would not seem directly associated with the goals of a club that is about technology.  There is also Why Nerds Rage! which uses Batman to address why it is so easy to say outrageous things on the internet.

I'm considering going to the Feb. 3 STScI talk. If I do (no commitment

with a stop at Harbor Freight Tools in Laurel on the way - I've got
plenty of extra free item coupons)?

Would anyone be interested in a talk about modifying the genetic code
(the theory behind it, not the procedures for doing it in the lab)?

The event list is now at wiki.hacdc.org/index.php/Area_science_event_list
I will now be updating the list more or less continuously instead of
at the start of each month; check for the current version (and add any
relevant events I've missed).
