there's a beta lecture series? what?
i think the guy in the picture is having the same reaction as you, 2:13
beta is clearly trying to do something positive for the community, so instead of being snarky and surprised, how about be supportive and impressed.

A longtime mayor of Providence and the head of successful ecotourism company have both spoken at beta so far this semester and both were pretty cool
apparently Playboy called his book
"Thoughtful and surprisingly entertaining."
i'm not being snarky, just surprised. this is the first ii've heard of it, and wish i'd heard of it sooner.
