EVENTS
Impossibilities
Impossibilities is our book club and creator series. We spend time closely with a piece of writing and talk through what its ideas mean for science and for our own work. We also talk to the creator about their process and what comes next, often offering feedback. It’s a chance to wrestle with challenging ideas in depth.
Previous creators have included Nick Foster and his book Could Should Might Don’t, Esther Dyson with an excerpt from her pre-released book In Defense of Limits: Human Time and AI scale, and Adam Mastroianni as he prepares to write a new book based on his Substack Experimental History.
Regional Dinners
Our Regional Dinners bring members together in their own cities. Each dinner is a one-table conversation held under Chatham House rules. We build trust, trade ideas, laugh, and get to know one another in an intimate setting. Cities we frequent are Seattle, New York, Austin, Boston, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
Our community began at a 4-day interdisciplinary conference in Marfa. On stage, we talked about what science needs, where it’s headed, and the roles each of us can play. We explored a variety of art forms and spent an evening under the largest dark sky reserve in the world. Our attendees formed fast friendships and also had opportunities to quietly recharge and reflect.
