Union Hall brings you your monthly installment of Secret Science Club, one of my favorite events. Come nerd it up with mind-blowing lectures, volatile cocktails, and chemically-altered sounds. Tonight, "step into the great glass elevator . . . the Secret Science Club is heading skyward with microbiologist and ecologist Dickson Despommier, whose ambitious project to create vertical farms in urban skyscrapers could radically re-vision the way we live—and eat. A professor of environmental science and public health at Columbia University, Dr. Despommier asks how might urban sky farms reduce global warming, and give “eating local” a whole new meaning? What technologies and architectural designs could work in vertical farms? Before and after groove to towering tunes and vaulting video, stick around for the lofty Q&A and try the stratospheric new cocktail: the Mile Highball.
