Laurence Tureaud Lecture Series

Butterknife Estates has begun the new year by hosting a fantastic new portal into knowledge called the Laurence Tureaud lecture series, an opportunity for community members to share stuff they know and spark questions and discussions. Every month we'll feature two new presenters on fresh and interesting topics. The event is free and open to the public (there is a suggested donation of any amount to the projectoritis fund).

Episode 1 featured:
Thad Gillespie's presentation, The Science of Keeping Warm: A Brief History of Thermodynamics
and
Harrison Chelak's presentation, It's a Wonder I Can Think At All: Education In the Modern World

We had 16 attendees, great questions, awesome discussion on deep topics, and cake! Thanks to everyone who contributed who made it such a success!

We are in the midst of planning for our next month: save the evening of February 10th on your calendar!
