Engineer & tinkerer Mike Schmidt will walk us through the physics and making of an electroacoustic transducer. Or: Speakers Are Easy to Make!
Geophysicist PhD candidate Gabriel Lotto will take us underground into the basic physics of tsunamis and give us a peek into our risk living in earthquake-riddled coastal California.
