Tracey Williams Presents: Claims Have Taken Over Food Packaging: What Do They Mean?
Food packages are starting to resemble sponsorship covered NASCAR race cars with claims plastered across every available inch. But, what do these claims mean? Who defines the guardrails and enforces those requirements? Does Natural mean anything? Let’s cut through the claim clutter to better understand food packaging.
Sandy Bean Presents: Your Brain Isn’t Broken, The System Is: Neurodivergence, Capitalism, and the Rise of the Neuroinclusive Economy
This talk explores what happens when smart, sensitive, neurodivergent people try to function in systems that reward sameness, speed, and silence. (Spoiler: it’s not great.) We’ll talk about masking, internalized capitalism, and why the people holding it all together are usually the ones falling apart. It’s my blend of research, personal chaos, and imagining what life could look like if we all stopped pretending this is fine.
Angus Rhoton Presents: Why Do We Smell?
Ever wonder why we smell? We do it without thinking, but smell shapes our lives more than most of us realize. This talk will explore the chemistry of smell, how our bodies detect and interpret smells, and why evolution wired us to love some smells and recoil from others.
