We meet every 1st Wednesday of the month between 10 am and 12 pm at the same venue. While you can book on the day, we ask that you purchase your ticket before you set off on your journey. This makes it much easier to check you in and get you to the coffee as soon as possible! How it works When you come to a Buzz you’ll be welcomed by the Buzz team, shown where the coffee is and introduced to some of the other attendees. We’re here if you need further introductions to more guests, but you’ll find that everyone is really friendly and you can easily move around conversations to network as you like. The focus is open networking and easy-going conversations so that more business happens between our attendees easily. At roughly 11 am there is a short announcement section and you’ll find out who is in the room to help facilitate more connections. Information Source: Business Buzz | eventbrite

Einstein’s equations are the fundamental equations of the general theory of relativity. Named after Albert Einstein who proposed them in 1915 as a new description of gravity that superseded Newton’s theory, the Einstein equations have been intensively studied for more than hundred years and are the basis for some of the most fascinating scientific discoveries of the 20th and 21st centuries such as black holes, gravitational waves, and the Big Bang. Often described as beautiful and elegant, Einstein’s equations continue to be a topic of active research to this day. In this talk, Vanderbilt University Professor of Mathematics Dr. Marcelo Disconzi will discuss the meaning of Einstein’s equations, some of their underlying mathematics, and emphasize similarities and differences between how mathematicians and physicists tend to interpret and work with the Einstein equations. The presentation will focus on conceptual ideas, be self-contained, and will not require advanced background in mathematics. About the Speaker: Marcelo Disconzi is an associated professor of mathematics at Vanderbilt University. He earned his PhD in mathematics from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 2012. He works on mathematical aspects of general relativity and fluid dynamics, with a special focus on how gravity and fluids interact with each other. Marcelo and collaborators solved an eighty-year-old problem in mathematics and physics with the discovery of the Bemfica-Disconzi-Noronha-Kovtun theory, or BDNK theory, that reconciles the Navier-Stokes equations of fluid dynamics with Einstein’s equations of general relativity. Marcelo is the author of more than fifty scientific articles, the upcoming book Relativistic Viscous Fluids , and the book Who Me? I’m a Mathematician Now! The latter is for children about ten years old with the goal of getting kids excited about math and science. Marcelo is a recipient of a 2018 Sloan Research Fellowship, a 2019 Dean’s Faculty Fellowship, a 2023 Chancellor’s Faculty Fellowship, and he is an Invited Plenary Speaker at the 2025 Fall Southeastern Sectional Meeting of the American Mathematical Society. His research is supported by the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy. LIVESTREAM the talk for free: https://www.youtube.com/@dyerobservers/streams Additional Information About the Event: Telescope viewings follow when weather permits.

JOIN THE WAITLIST if tickets are not available! We will move the talk to the scenic tented back patio with the jumbo screen if weather allows. This will make 100 more seats available. You will be emailed with further instructions the week of the event if more tickets become available. Please read carefully: You do not need to bring a printed ticket; there will be a guest list at the gate. Because this is a historic museum setting, we ask attendees to be mindful of the delicate nature of our exhibits and equipment and watch your children carefully. No running or climbing is permitted anywhere on the grounds or in the building. Dress in layers for maximum conformt because the telescopes are in an open dome and outside. Closed-toe footwear is suggested because of gravel on the grounds and on the roof. The roof is delicate. Please do not play with the gravel or drag your feet through it. Damage can easily occur.

Accessibility: The exhibits on the main floor are easily accessible. The Seyfert Telescope is on the second floor and is only accessible by twenty steps, split by a large landing. Please let us know when you get your tickets if someone in your group cannot climb the stairs, so we may attempt to make some accommodation with another telescope if skies are clear enough for viewing.

We will give you the option of attending a make-up date or your money will be refunded. We always recommend checking our website before heading up for last-minute announcements. Is there a minimum age requirement? All ages are welcome, but we recommend teens and adults because of the level of the talk and the fragility of the historic exhibits and instruments.

Ride share services are welcome. How may I register a large group? PUBLIC ATTENDEES: We do not have a way to register large groups and collect payment.

We also are frequently asked if there is a dress code. We do not have one, but we ask that you wear what would be appropriate in a setting with children. Dress comfortably. We suggest closed-toe shoes for walking through the gravel parking lot and on the roof. As the telescope domes are not heated/cooled, be sure to dress appropriately for the weather.
