Nuclear Engineering 101

Welcome to nuclear engineering 101! Settle in, grab your calculators, and crack open those physics’ books. We’ll begin with the basics of nuclear physics, radiation detection, and what is required to sustain a chain reaction. We’ll go into what makes a reactor and how it works. Then we’ll move to applications of nuclear energy, with a focus on nuclear power. This will include a past, present, and future of nuclear power generation and its applications beyond electricity generation. Lastly, we’ll end with how to find nuclear engineering in our day to day lives. I plan to include models, Geiger counters, and a cloud chamber! So, if you’ve got a hankering that only radiation can fill, then come on by to learn about nuclear engineering!

I Feel Weird: Strange Desires from the Golden Age of Animation

Come join us for a screening of "those" cartoons - you know the ones. The ones that made you uncomfortable as a child. The Looney Tunes that stirred up uncanny desires you'd never felt before, and gave you feelings that didn’t have a name. A loveless lovebird wants desperately to be swallowed whole by a voracious puddy tat. A potion is consumed, and a tiny mouse begins expanding his horizons. There are wolves in sheep’s clothing, bunnies beyond binaries, and buzzards under the thrall of mesmerizing emanations. Do you remember the one where death was the happy ending? Do you remember when existential fear first felt warm?
Tonight, the glow of the TV will be our full moon, as we unwind tight coils of VHS tape to unleash lost memories of transformative Saturday mornings. Your host Auryn will overshare stories from childhood while guiding you through the classic cartoons that launched a million kinks. This is where you came from, remember? And don’t miss the 16mm screening of a very rare, very foxy, and very unsettling film you won’t see anywhere else. So bring your sublimated yearning and your PJs – we’ll bring the milk and cereal!
