Coming in like a lion, it’s Nerd Nite #123! This time we’ve got Shams (detecting fraud with statistics and Benford’s Law), Rocks (using spectroscopy on Mars rocks) and Shakes (Disney theme park lore that we are loosely connecting to the sometimes shaky experience of a roller coaster)!

Featuring presentations on “Benford’s Law and Fraud Detection” from statistics researcher and audit analytics professional Daniel McCarville, “Ironstone: a Terrestrial Analog for the Detection of Extraterrestrial Life on Mars” from KU research assistant at the Raman Spectroscopy Laboratory Dustin Heese , and “Disney’s SEA-cret: A World of Lore Hiding in Plain Sight” by theme park enthusiast in the most extreme way Amy Betz!

Doors open at 7pm and talks start at 7:30! It will be an exciting evening of engaging presentations and we can’t wait to see you! Be there, and be square!
