Nerd Nite 5: Eastworks 3/24
Hey everyone, we had such a good time at Eastworks that we’re going back there for our next Nerd Nite! In addition to the wine and beer I’ve been told there will be someone from Riff’s who will be running food back and forth so this will make it easier for you to relax and enjoy our two amazing talks:
Monday, March 24th, 7PM, $3
Eastworks, Suite 160
Easthampton, MA
The End of Darkness: light pollution and the disappearing night
What do we lose, when we lose the night? With time-lapse imagery, animation, and excerpts from his Emmy-nominated documentary, filmmaker Ian Cheney reveals the surprising effects of excess illumination on human health, wildlife, and the human relationship to the stars.

Greg Saulmon is a Holyoke resident, an avid birder, and an accomplished photographer whose work has been shown in galleries and museums in Holyoke, Northampton, and Brattleboro. He maintains the website birdsdowntown.com.
