Tech News: Cryptocurrency, Blockchain, & Cyberattacks @ ONLINE Secular Saturday

Join HumanistsMN member David Guell for this introduction to some of the digital technologies behind recent headlines. How do crypto-currencies work? What’s a Dogecoin? How did Russian hackers interrupt US gas supplies? If you feel like a blockhead for not knowing what a blockchain is, bring your questions to the discussion.

The presentation and discussion will be from 3:00—4:30. Afterwards, grab your own beverage and a snack for a virtual social time with other Secular Saturday attendees.

Dave currently serves on the Board of Directors for HumanistsMN and also on the Media/Tech team. He has a PhD in chemical engineering and has worked in the software industry for 25 years in areas such as scientific computing, natural language programming, supply chain, and encryption.
