"They Live! Mind Control and the Invention of the TurboEncabulator" by James BrowneDescription: YOU ARE BEING CONTROLLED. Learn how others have hacked your brain for fun and profit!Bio: James Browne (he/him) is a Tech Nerd who loves good data hygiene more than people. Collects whisky like Pokemon. Almost fell into the caldera of an active volcano. Has been sunburned in every major desert (excluding the Arctic). +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++"Aphantasia, the New Science of Subjectivity, and my Shocking Discovery that Other People can Actually Visualize Shit" by Sadie DingfelderDescription: What's it like to be a bat? Heck, what's it like to be you? Scientists have long considered these questions unanswerable and therefore best left to philosophers and potheads. The tide is turning, however, and researchers are discovering entire continents of wild, beautiful, and largely uncharted neurodiversity. Let's learn about the scientific study of subjectivity!Bio: Sadie Dingfelder (she/her) is a freelance science journalist. Her first book, "Do I Know You? A Faceblind Reporter's Journey into the Science of Sight, Memory and Imagination," comes out June 25. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++"Family Trees of Weed" by Jeffrey SalpekarDescription: Why are there so many different weed strains, and how do they relate to each other? Here’s a family history of the marijuana plant!Bio: Jeffrey Salpekar (he/him) is a pothead who works in inventory at Herbafi dispensary in silver spring. Of course, he's also a nerd, so these days he's nerding out about weed!
