MeFi IRL

I'm giving a tour just for MeFites of my exhibition "Small Steps, Giant Leaps: Apollo 11 at Fifty", which combines landmarks from the history of science with artifacts used in the Apollo mission. Afterward, join me (optionally) for a $5 screening of Hidden Figures at the Harvard Film Archive.

The last time I put on a show in our main exhibition space, I invited MetaFilter to come see it. It was a lot of fun, so I'd like to do so once again, to see "Starry Messengers: Signs and Science from the Skies." [more inside]

The 30th Charleston Conference. Though my first. I'm there Wednesday the 3rd and Thursday the 4th. Though I may have dinner plans one of those nights. Anyone else going? Or live there?
