A Fermentation Opera
Thursday, January 29th, 7:30pm at Barrel O’Fun and on Twitch
January brings another fun and fascinating nite of nerdery!
“The Art and Science of Edible Fermentation” by Dr. Sarah M. Coleman
Fermentation sits at the intersection of biology, chemistry, and culture. Sarah will explore how microorganisms drive these transformations, why fermentation works, and how scientific thinking helps us better understand — and appreciate — the foods we eat.
Dr. Sarah M. Coleman is a native Austinite with a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin. Her graduate research explored how yeast can be evolved to metabolize waste and engineered to produce valuable chemicals.
“Opera for the Curious” by Adam Hagerman
The word opera brings up a series of connotations no matter who you are, what part of the world, and, as we’ll explore, when you lived. The word itself may vary slightly language-to-language, but the concept it represents is ubiquitous. Adam will delve into the role opera has had in constructing our modern consciousness as a force for creativity, intellectual property economics, and social change.
Adam is a former corporate product strategist, and also a classically trained musician.
