[Nerd Nite Tokyo](https://tokyo.nerdnite.com/) is this Friday, April 19! (It’s actually across the river in Kawasaki).
> Every month, we gather some smart speakers and a curious crowd, add a bar, and create something unique. This month, we’re going underground in search of volcanoes and fossils!
>
> First, University of Tokyo professor Ryuichi Nishiyama will be exploring deep into volcanoes using high-tech muography. Then, University of Tsukuba paleontologist Emma Dangerfield is going to make sure that badgers get some respect.
>
> Drinks (both alcoholic and non) will be available. Drink, meet, and be square-y! Kids are also welcome at Nerd Nite.
