-Many students came with us to see the new movie, Science of Sleep, by the director of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Because of the large turnout to this event we will hold similar events in the future, depending on what is playing.
-A film about the plight of male-to-female transgendered people in prison who aren't legally recognized as females
and are housed instead in male facilities. This film raises some interesting questions about how gender identity is
constructed, how much of it is biologically-based vs. socially-derived. We co-sponsored this event with
POW!, a feminist club on campus.
-Free food! Time to get to know other members in the club, followed by a guest speaker, Tamar Kornblum. Tamar graduated as
a psychology major from Columbia in 2004, and is the lab manager of the Terrace lab, studying primate cognition. As she is a recent
graduate and currently applying to medical school, she will provide crucial insight into the post Columbia world, and discuss the opportunities
for neuroscience majors in the real world.
