Mike and a bunch of his friends wanted to build a huge interactive Rubik’s Cube at Burning Man. They went through about 10 designs each trying to achieve the same goal of somehow raising the 15×15×15ft Grooviks Cube, weighing near 4000 lbs 10 feet in the air within a fairly tight budget.
About Michael Tyka
Dr. Michael Tyka is a senior fellow at The Baker Laboratory at the University of Washington’s Biochemistry department. He spoke at Ignite Seattle 6 about “The Invention of the Wheel.”
It seems Nature has beaten man to almost every “invention” : Helicopters, Submarines, Electricity, Video Cameras, Supercomputers, etc. For the longest time Mike Tyka thought the one notable exception was the wheel. Recent discoveries in biochemistry proved this to be false as well.
Nature has invented a full blown, reversible, proton driven turbine engine, many tens of thousands of which churn away in every one of the billions of cells in a human body. Join Mike Tyka as he takes you on a journey of discovery inside your body and the wheels that make you tick.

@awoods Once enough people have confirmed, we post what we know and them let folks who didn't make it this time know... in reply to awoods1 week ago
@awoods We usually do a conf call a few days after submissions close to decide (always tough). Then accepted talks get notified... in reply to awoods1 week ago
