DESCRIPTION:April's Nerd Nite East Bay includes one of our funkier line-ups to date. 
 First, Stuart Gripman will teach you about the fake fish concocted by the 
 notable naturalist John James Audubon. Then, Kara Platoni will speak about 
 some of the ways people are hacking their perception abilities. Finally, 
 the Exploratorium's Lori Lambertson will give a light-hearted look at some 
 of the grim repercussions of global warming.\n\nAs usual, doors/bar/food 
 are at 7. Grilled Cheese Guy will be slinging delicious sammies. Ann-Marie 
 Benz may run Nerd Nite Detention again (more details to come).\n\nOh. And 
 fan (and boss) favorite Matthew "Herbie" Harman returns as a guest 
 MC!\n\nHerbie, Rick, DJ Ion the Prize, and the Oakland Public Library will 
 (still) be the April Fools.\n-\nAudubon's Phony Fish by Stuart 
 Gripman\n\nThe story of how naturalist Constantine Rafinesque, a 
 self-described "odd fish" was goaded by John James Audubon (yes, that 
 Audubon) into publishing descriptions of fantastical and wholly fabricated 
 fish.\n-\nPerception Hacking for Cyborgs (That Means You) by Kara 
 Platoni\n\nHumanity has never been closer to machine than we are now - and 
 it's only about to get weirder as we increasingly bring technologies onto, 
 and into, our bodies in our eternal quest to alter our perceptual 
 experiences, give ourselves superpowers and (maybe) hack ourselves a sixth 
 sense. From the bionic eye to the thought-controlled robotic limb; from 
 augmented and virtual reality gadgets to biohacker implants, it's time to 
 consider what comes next in human evolution, and whether we can do it 
 ourselves.\n-\nWe're All F***ed: A Cool Look at the Warm Future by Lori 
 Lambertson\n\nWelcome to the Anthropocene, the proposed name for our 
 current epoch, which is characterized by the impacts of human activities on 
 earth's geology and ecosystems. Come find out how we have fucked with the 
 carbon cycle, which is changing our atmosphere and so much more.\n\n$8 in 
 advance; $10 at the door.\n
