Nerds of Albuquerque: Join us for a Valentines Day edition Nerd Nite #10 on February 13th, 2025! As always, our events are free to attend.
Nerd Nite is a monthly lecture series that takes place in bars in 100+ cities around the world. And we’ve got our very own Albuquerque chapter!
Join us to learn, laugh, and drink, on Thursday, February 13, at 7:00pm at the back of the downstairs bar area of the Tin Can Alley Food Hall.
Notes this month:
1. After last month’s successful event, we’re back at Tin Can Alley! Join us in the back room on the bottom floor.
2. Note that this is technically the *second* Thursday in February (a departure from our usual first Thursdays) – We’ll be back after this on our regular first Thursday schedule with our March 6 event!
Our talks:
Title: Patently in Love
Blurb: Have you ever wondered why the legal system never tells us how to live, laugh, and love? It merely tells us what not to do. Enter patent law… the legal construct that describes inventions that change the world. Surely, patent law has something to say about love. Maybe, maybe not. Come chat about the intersection of love and patents, learn a bit about intellectual property law, and bring your questions (*insert boilerplate language that this is not legal advice and we are not in an attorney-client relationship).
Bio: Dr. Helen Baca loves all things related to science, art, and obscure intersections therebetween. She has been/is an attorney, scientist, artist, teacher, and/or enthusiast of patents, chemistry, sculpture, baking, and/or puzzles. Helen has a Ph.D. in Chemistry, a J.D. with a certificate in Intellectual Property Law, and aspires to get another terminal degree in a non-adjacent field.
Title: Lust In Translation: Debunking Sexual Desire and Arousal
Blurb: Think you know the ins and outs of sexual desire and arousal? Well, it’s time to go deeper because odds are, we’re not hitting the important spots. Turns out Hollywood, porn and locker room talk have all given us a massive load of unfortunate falsities so join me for a sexy and science-y romp through the realities of arousal and desire. We’ll be discussing the types of sexual desire, the fallacy of the sex drive, and this little thing called “arousal non-concordance”…to name a few. So grab your beer, get comfy because we’re about to tickle those brain boners…
Bio: Lindsay Thorsen, a Doctor of Physical Therapy specializing in pelvic floor physical therapy (think PT for your private parts), is a lifelong “sex nerd” and a returning Nerd Nite speaker. She is “edging” her career toward blending her expertise in pelvic health with sex educating and is currently *deep* in pursuing a national certification to solidify her street cred. Lindsay’s mission is to improve the sexual literacy and health of her community, making conversations about sex as comfortable and natural as chatting about the weather.
Come join us for a drink, learn something new, and meet fellow nerds. Tell your friends, and help us spread the word about Nerd Nite Albuquerque!
