Nerd Nite East Bay #15 - Data, Exoplanets, and Affordable Care

Nerd Nite East Bay is back from our short hibernation for our first show of 2014! We'll announce a new field trip opportunity at this show, which features three great talks. First, Nerd Nite San Francisco alum Bradley Voytek will guide you through how scientists properly (and, sometimes, improperly) leverage and present some of the vast amounts of data available. Then Chabot's Benjamin Burress will point us to where we might expect to find life off this planet. Finally, KQED's Lisa Aliferis will tell you what you need to know about Obamacare.

DJ Ion the Prize spins the tunes.

Rick and Rebecca will try to make sure you can register in advance…unlike. um. you know.
