Mixed Taste: Tag Team Lectures on Unrelated Topics is a lecture series that runs every summer. The rules are simple: The first speaker speaks for a half-hour, then the next speaker speaks on a completely unrelated topic for another half-hour, and then there is question and answer on both topics at the same time. During the first part of the program, speakers are not allowed to make connections between topics, during the question and answer, anything can happen.
Supported in part by St. Mary Land & Exploration Lecture Endowment, In Honor of Tom Congdon.
Discounted parking is available for all Mixed Taste events.
