Your Brain On Ping Pong
As part of its Brain exhibit, The American Museum of Natural History had an event called “This Is Your Brain On Ping Pong” which they co-organized with Club SPiN. They had a bunch of Pint Pong tables for people to play. The professional ping pong players from the club exhibited their skills as the panel of lecturers were talking about how human brain works while a person is playing Ping Pong.
I actually got to hold a real human brain in my hands!

Professional Bull Riders

The event was organized by Professional Bull Riders and took place at the Madison Square Garden.

Alasia
Today I went to Julia Kulakova’s Gypsy Dance Workshop at the Jewish Community Center in Manhattan. Every new year they host an open house where people can try various things that they offer for free. This is a comic video that I came up with which features Julia’s class:
I think “Alasia” is what they say in that song, but I could be wrong…
