That’s “Mass” as in Massachusetts, not the stuff associated with the Higgs field… specifically, North Adams, MA, where I’ll be this Saturday night, October 25th, at the Secret Science Club screening of Particle Fever<\/cite><\/a>. This will be at the MASS MoCA, tickets here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nThe Secret Science Club is a regular gathering in New York City featuring mind-bending lectures, volatile experiments, and thematic chemical libations (special cocktails, that is). It\u2019s like the coolest science class you\u2019ve ever been to, but with drinks and a DJ. SSC rockets into MASS MoCA with a special screening of Particle Fever, a \u201cdazzling, dizzying documentary\u201d that follows six high-energy scientists as they seek to unravel the mysteries of the universe. Plus, get your brain on with our audience pop quiz. Door prizes!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is really convenient, because I never actually got my act together to go see Particle Fever when it was in theaters. So I get to see the movie all my physics friends on social media raved about, and hang out in a cool space. This will also be a nice excuse to go to the newly renovated Clark Art Institute<\/a> in Williamstown, and generally wax nostalgic about college for a bit…<\/p>\n

Anyway, if you’re in the cool bits of New England, stop by.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
