On March 7th Deis3D, Brandeis University’s 3D Printing Club, will host the first ever 3D printathon on campus. Teams of 3-6 students will work together to to design and print 3D objects using cutting edge printing technology over the course of just 24 hours.

Teams will be assigned a theme at the beginning of the event. Though not mandatory, following the provided theme will influence the judging process. Judges will be looking out for theme adherence, creativity, complexity, functionality, 3D components and presentation.

The event is free to all undergraduate students from any college or university. Food and drinks provided.

Tapas and Science? Yes Please

January 26, 2014 / Editor / Comments Off

What do science and tapas have in common? Seemingly not very much, unless you’re at Brandeis. Now you won’t be able to imagine one without the other.

On the first Monday of every month from 6-7pm, Cafe Science (whose mission is to engage the local community in conversation about cutting-edge scientific research) takes over a room at Solea (whose mission is to serve amazing tapas) on Moody Street in Waltham. Everyone is welcome to learn something new from Brandeis faculty while they enjoy amazing food in a warm and welcoming environment.

The next talk on February 3rd is with Mathematics Professor Ruth Charney, titled “Geometry for Grown-Ups.” Professor Charney plans to explore geometric structures, both useful and fun to play with. Did you know she’s also the President of the Association for Women in Mathematics?

Well, if Geometry isn’t enough to get you out the door, save the date for Professor Paul Garrity’s talk on April 7th, “From Spicy Hot to Minty Fresh: Temperature, Taste and Pain.” Professor Garrity specializes in the study of molecular genetics of neural development and behavior at Brandeis while running a number of studies in the lab. He might be able to tell us why some folks at Solea prefer the spice of patatas bravas while others enjoy the savory and sweet chuletillas. You’ll just have to go to find out for yourself.

Whatever the topic, you’ll definitely have a great time. Only here will you learn something new while trying a new tapa each month. For a complete list of speakers and their topics (past and future), visit the Cafe Science websit e or Facebook page.
