Words with Nerds mixes TED Talks with stand-up by bringing together local specialists and comedians to present on a topic of their choice. Come for the laughs and walk away with strange new knowledge – previous performers have regaled audiences with presentations about dinosaur rib anatomy a principal component analysis of the Taco Bell Menu nipple equality activism in Madison how people misuse statistics what can be learned from watching 100 Hallmark movies how to perform self-surgery and much much more.

Past presenters span local entrepreneurs professors researchers activists union organizers surgeons engineers and stand-up comedians with an itch to nerd out on stage.

Parties interested in presenting at Words with Nerds are invited to send their pitches to [email protected].
