MIT After Dark: Let's Talk

After Dark: Let's Talk Join us this June as we travel back to <a href="https://mitmuseum.mit.edu/programs/no-recombination-without-representation">the debate that helped shape Kendall Square into the most innovative square mile on the planet, 50 years ago this month. </a>Then step away from the chatter and take part in hands-on activities inspired by the joy and occasional chaos of conversation. Featured activities:<ul><li>Follow a guided timeline through the Museum tracing the twists and turns of meaningful, intimate conversations.</li><li>Hear historian of science Luis Campos unpack the controversy around a 1976 recombinant DNA lab, seen by some as groundbreaking, and by others as “Frankenstein bacteria.”</li><li>Make your own ‘conversation kit’ filled with unexpected tools, from pause buttons to prompts, designed to improve everyday dialogue.</li><li>Step into the ‘Agora’ demo to explore big issues like minimum wage, then draft and refine your own policy with input from multiple perspectives.</li><li>Mix your own audio medley using real voices from debates on housing, gentrification, and more—experiment with shaping complex stories.</li><li>Settle into an immersive soundscape featuring highlights from realtalk@Boston conversations, creating the soundtrack for the evening.</li></ul>Stay fueled with bites and brews from <a href="https://www.babcispierogi.com/">Babci’s Pierogis</a> and <a href="https://www.drinkarlingtonbeer.com/">Arlington Brewing Company</a>, available for purchase.
