The second episode of Nerdnite Auckland is on Tuesday October 2, at Nectar, in Kingsland (if you have trouble finding it, it’s upstairs, above the Kingslander). Presumably it starts at closer to 6:30 this time, since the bugs should have been worked out of the system.

Also, on Wednesday September 26, Cafe Scientifique is on at the Horse and Trap, with Gillian Turner, from Vic Uni Wellington, talking: “Flips and Wiggles — the mystery of Earth’s magnetism”.  They recommend arriving at 6ish for a 6:30 start to the formalities.
