Let's get some radically diverse, oddball mini-talks this time! Cheers, James From: James Norris [mailto:james at projectpolymath.org] Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2011 8:04 PM To: 'polymath-conversations at projectpolymath.org' Subject: Next Polymath Conversation Hi all, Let's try "Polymaths Teaching Polymaths" again. Every time I learn about at least one field or concept I've never explored, which is a lot of fun. Here's how the call goes: pick a topic you love and give us a mini-talk on it. Aim for under 5-7 minutes of the "talk" portion so you leave room for questions and interaction. No pressure to do significant preparation-just speak from the heart. Keep it short and sweet! Mark down Sunday, July 25th, 2011 at 8pm EDT. Will keep it between 1 - 1.5 hours. Join by sending a message on Skype with your full name, age, and a short sentence describing yourself a few minutes before the call. Our username is: polymath.conversations. And please let us know if you intend to join so we can secure enough facilitators for you. Cheers, James P.S. Kindly invite your polymathic friends to join. And perhaps show us some love on your favorite social media site? Here's a sample message: This is awesome: http://www.projectpolymath.org/junto.shtml. Ben Franklin thought so too. -- James Norris Trustee, Project Polymath www.projectpolymath.org james at projectpolymath.org +65 8162 0622 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We covered homelessness, unconferences, the trolley problem, and Get Stuff Done Days. Let's try a themed called next: "Polymath Pleasure & Pain". We'll share the subtle and not so subtle implications of being an (aspiring) polymath, from our unique perspectives. This includes whatever you think is germane: emotions, relationships, productivity, finances, etc. And, as always, if you have any insights on how to improve our experiences, we want you to share.
