Gelf’s monthly science reading is back at JLA Studios in DUMBO, Brooklyn on July 16th at 7:30 pm. This month, we’ll be discussing all sorts of geeky goodness with speakers including Arika Okrent, the author of In the Land of Invented Languages, and Viktor Deak, the paleoartist whose hominid evolution renderings can be seen at the Lucy’s Legacy exhibit. The work of local artists will be on display as well.
Geeking Out will be held Thursday, July 16th, at 7:30 pm (doors open at 7:00 pm) at the JLA Studios art gallery on 63 Pearl St in the DUMBO neighborhood of Brooklyn. Admission is FREE. Drinks will be available. Please spread the word and bring your friends.
