Every month, we gather some smart speakers and a curious crowd, add a bar, and create something unique. This month, we’re moving to a new location close to the center of Tokyo! We’ll have two great speakers on tap, alongside craft beer and cafe food.
Let’s let those speakers introduce themselves! First, Lia Camargo:
Discover the world of “femtech”, where technology meets women’s health needs. How long is a menstrual cycle and why does it matter? Can AI change how we think about fertility? Do men experience menopause? My talk will shed light on how the femtech industry is reshaping healthcare for all genders.
Then, Lena Morita:
For the countless hours we spend typing on a keyboard, very few of us have consciously honed this skill beyond the touch typing basics we learned way back when. You make the same exact typos all the time and fumble with the symbols row, but typing is such a mindless activity you barely even notice it.
This is the story of an amateur pianist who realized how the principles of piano practice can be applied to the computer keyboard. Through mindful self-diagnosis and an awareness of biomechanics, anybody can transform their typing technique over a weekend.
Drinks (both alcoholic and non) as well as food will be available. Check out the menu here and come early; we’re opening the doors at 7 PM. Drink, meet, and be square-y! Kids are also welcome at Nerd Nite.
