I must say that Mizin Shin is one of the best Professor in the Department of Art www.jaipur4fun.com wants to say a big thanks..!

I know my review is coming very late, but I didn't know you could review these events until now. I remember this workshop. It was very fun and informative and I really hope it takes place again because I learned a lot from it.

Fantastic presentation followed by an insightful conversation. Katherine is incredibly knowledgeable on a wide variety of topics including technology, literature, philosophy and data science. Her unique perspective gives rise to a variety of new ideas and considerations about both our consciousness and machine awareness.

Ms. Tyson was great! I so enjoyed hearing from her. The food and drinks were very nice and much appreciated. The lighting was horrible. Ms. Tyson was backlit and stood in silhouette for her entire presentation. It was impossible to see her face. Very frustrating for audience unable to see the speaker. Turn on the lights. No reason for event to be in subtle lighting. Ridiculous.

I like the critical perspectives she shared

I appreciated this event.

It is so inspiring, and i hope the talk could be longer!

Despite a few "tech" issues, (Elmwood Ave construction and the Alert system test) it was great. Fascinating conversation, sadly, I didn't know there would be a reception after, so I had booked something else, so I had to leave. Wish I had known about the reception in advance.

Great collection!
