Angels & Kings
500 East 11th St. (between Aves. A and B)

Free Admission though there’s a 2-drink minimum

Presentation #1:
Some Like It Hop(py)
by Adam Kavalier
Description: Now there are more reasons to drink beer than ever before! As the main flavor ingredient in beer, hops possess a broad spectrum of healthy compounds. These wonderful flowers contain the most potent phytoestrogen known to date as well as produce a broad spectrum anticancer compound, among other friendly little compounds. So who says beer is just a bunch of empty calories? Drink up! Cheers!
Bio: Adam Kavalier is a doctoral student in biology trying to avoid politics and survive the CUNY system. He works in a phytochemistry lab studying the composition of plant stuff. When he's not at the bench or standing on his head, Adam can be found drinking his beverage of choice, that's right a hop-filled pint of pale ale!

Presentation #2:
Home Is Where Your Pig Is and Other Ancient Chinese Secrets
by Mike Love
Description: Ever wonder what that Chinese tattoo actually means? Or whether the Chinese word for "crisis" is really the same as the word for "opportunity?" Or how many keys are there on a Chinese computer keyboard? We'll learn the answers to these and many other questions as we explore the rich and befuddling world of Chinese characters.
Bio: Michael Love has been studying Chinese since he was 12, making a living off of it since he was 19, and has visited China a grand total of 10 times, yet still hasn't managed to perfect his Kung Pao Chicken recipe. He has, however, occasionally been known to perform Chinese karaoke if you get him sufficiently drunk.
