The Think and Drink
The Think and Drink is coming to Hawkes Bay! Nov 24th Westshore Inn. After selling out two events in Auckland, we're launching "The Think & Drink" in Hawkes Bay on Tuesday, November - a regular event designed to bring adults of any age together for riveting talks, fresh ideas and great conversations. How are we doing this? We find experts in their fields - Authors, Scientists, Industry Leaders, Innovators - and take them out of the classroom and put them into the pub. Connecting with our fellow humans has never been more important, so creating a space where a bunch of curious people can meet up, share a drink and learn something new seems like a no-brainer! We're not after a formal lecture. "The Think & Drink" is deliberately INFORMAL. It's lively, thought-provoking and designed to get the conversation flowing. Grab your friends, colleagues or community and enjoy a laid back night of new ideas and good yarns for the actively curious. When: Tuesday 24th November, 6:30-8:30pm Where: Westshore Beach inn, 84 Meeanee Quay, Westshore, Napier Who: 2 fantastic speakers Professor Nat Waran OBE Topic: Of mice and men: the secret lives of our pets Does your dog really love you, and is your cat secretly bored out of its mind? Join Nat for a fascinating, fun and research-backed look at how our pets see the world, what they feel and what they really need. Busting common myths about animal behaviour, Nat explores the surprising connections between animal, human and environmental wellbeing through the concept of One Welfare. Expect fresh insights, a few surprises and a better understanding of the animals we share our lives with. Bruce Ngataierua Topic: What's Really Written in the Stars? Hidden inside Napier Boys' High School is a Cold War-era star machine with a story of its own. It's part of New Zealand's oldest planetarium, where the mysteries of the universe meet the skies above Te Matau-a-Māui. But whose stories do the stars tell? And what can we discover when Māori and Western astronomy come together? Join Brice Ngataierua, Director of the Hawke's Bay Holt Planetarium, for a fascinating journey through Ngā Whetū (The Stars), challenging what you think you know about the night sky and revealing a universe of knowledge right on our doorstep. Format: Our experts will present for ½ each, with 20 mins Q&A. We'll stop for a refill or bite to eat between speakers. We'll kick off at 6:30pm. How: Tickets are $20 + booking fee. Book at: heart.co.nz/event/the-think-drink-e3f4e3 Audience: Adults, any age.
