“How Little We Know: Why Most of Our Opinions Are Probably Wrong,” title of 2018-19 Common Reading Invited Lecture on Oct. 22

The authors of Soonish, Kelly and Zach Weinersmith will present the 12th annual Common Reading Invited Lecture on Oct. 22 at 7 p.m. in the CUB Senior Ballroom.

The Weinersmiths are the scientist and cartoonist (respectively) who authored this year’s common reading book, Soonish: Ten Emergting Technologies That’ll Improve and/or Ruin Everything. The Weinersmiths will share their journey exploring and presenting research that has the power to “improve and/or ruin everything.” Come hear—and see—what led this duo to this project, and what they hope you will take away from it! Following their presentation, they will sign copies of the book. Verification of attendance at this Common Reading event will be available.
