Nerd Nite

Talk nerdy to me!

Welcome to Nerd Nite Sea to Sky #15!

For the last Nerd Nite of 2025, the following topics are featured:
We're all gonna die! Have a conversation with Dr Brenda Millar of SeatoSky PalliativeCare Service as she discusses what it means to be "Palliative" ,what is hospice care and what's the scoop with Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID)?
Distant Touch: Sensing and Control in Experimental Media: Dr. Bob Pritchard (Emeritus UBC School of Music, UBC Institute for Computing, Information and Cognitive Systems) researches e-textiles, infra-red tracking, controlled lighting, and force sensing for use in performance. Besides discussing the technologies, he will present excerpts from some of his interactive works for music, dance, and speech synthesis.
Sound Medicine & Piloting the Human Animal: Let's get a nerdy about what it means to be a human! You will start by visiting 17th century France and the philosopher René Descartes, then maybe swing over to ancient India and the sage Patanjali and their famous Yoga Sutras, and finish off with a tool to better care for ourselves in this human experience: sound.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to connect with fellow nerds in your community. See you there!
