MIXED TASTE
TAG TEAM LECTURES ON UNRELATED TOPICS
Mixed Taste is a lecture series that runs every summer. The rules are simple: The first speaker speaks for a half-hour, then the next speaker speaks on a completely unrelated topic for a half-hour, and then there is question and answer on both at the same time. During the first part of the program, speakers are not allowed to make connections between topics, during the question and answer, anything can happen.
