Check out this month’s speakers:
Dawn Shirreffs Presents: Premiums, Property Tax and Other Natural Disasters
In hurricane country, resilience is the new granite countertop: everyone wants it, no one wants to pay for it. This talk tackles the policy paradox of how we fund flood protection and lower insurance premiums in Florida without sending property taxes into orbit. Spoiler: prayers and duct tape aren’t a strategy.
Amy Kelley Presents: Math AND Art? Why not? Exploring the Intersection of Mathematics and the Arts
Mathematics is often referred to as the language of science, but perhaps it is also the language of the arts. This talk breaks down the myth of “right-brain” and “left brain” thought, and highlights some of the connections between math and creativity.
Jennifer Joern Presents: Paw-Sitive Heroes: How Your Dog (and Maybe Even Your Cat!) Can Save Lives
Who knew your dog could be a life-saving superhero—with zero need for a cape? That’s right—dogs (and yes, even cats!) can donate blood, just like us mere humans. But unlike your cousin who faints at the sight of a needle, your pup might just be braver and more heroic than you ever imagined. Join me, a proud parent of three canine blood donors (Stanley being the latest lifesaving legend), as we dig into the world of pet blood donation. I’ll spill the kibble on what it’s like from a pet owner’s perspective—how it works, what it takes, and how your dog can be a part of this underdog (and undercat) army of heroes.
