Throw horns for history and rush the stage* for statistics riffs at the bar show where the nerds are the rock stars and smart is punk af.
Cue it up: Three experts. Dozens of cheeky slides. A bar full of former gifted kids gone feral who love special interest deep dives. This is Nerd Nite DC.
*okay maybe just do this in spirit. Nerds are wild creatures who can be easily spooked by sudden movements.
Nerd Nite DC has been DC’s favorite irreverent lecture series since 2009. This month, we’re bringing you shadowy, SPOOOOOOKY talks in honor of a month of Halloween! (Want to come in costume? We won’t say no!)
Your host this month is Nerd Nite DC producer Diva Darling, joined by our three wildly entertaining and wickedly smart speakers with three must-see talks:
-Katya Leidig, “Why Dark Matter Matters”
-Jamie Mack, “How to Spot a PI: Secrets from a life in the shadows of DC”
-Carol Campbell, “Witches Scare Conservatives: Cunning People, Witch Trials, and Misogyny”

Doors open at 6, show at 6:30. Talks are 15 minutes with a 5 minute Q&A, and during the breaks, you can play along in our “alternate talk titles” competition to try to win a free drink on us. It’s rowdy, interactive, and the most fun you’ll have learning something all month.
The show is on the second floor of DC9 and is mostly standing room with limited seating available on a first-come, first served basis.
Nerd Nite DC is produced by Rae Pendergrass, Navi, and Diva Darling.
