Geeks Get Lovin' at Harvard LoveFest
Harvard LoveFest: Science is Sexy
Cambridge Queen's Head Pub, Harvard Square
Noon
As the old saying goes, "Valentine's Day at Harvard is like Father's Day at an orphanage." In other words, the geeks just don't get the girls (or guys, for that matter). Fortunately for the beaker-bearing types, a group of determined Harvard students has decided to change that. Today's Valentine's LoveFest, organized by a group of science-minded Harvard students called Zing, will feature stimulating speeches about pheromones, the language of love, and other scientific aspects of attraction. If that sounds hot enough for you, head on over to the Cambridge Queen's Head Pub in Harvard Square by noon to get your fill of facts, fun, and hopefully phone numbers of hottie scientists. Professors Mark D. Hauser, Richard W. Wrangham, Steven Pinker, and Catherine Dulac will lecture on love-related topics.



No mention on whether there'll be, you know, any women there.
Aw, there are plenty of geek girls at Harvard! I think the male/female ration skews a little towards the women, actually.
