How does one find out about the lectures and other brainiac events here in 
the land of universities and research institutions? And for the 
universities, where does one park?

I was delighted to see an ad in the News & Observer for Dr. Oliver Smithies 
lecture at UNC. The title was "Fifty Years at the Bench: A Geneticist's-Eye 
View of the Breathtaking Advances of Research." Bruce and I drove around 
for 15 minutes without finding a parking space. The Haynes Hall lot was 
closed and the one just down the street was reserved for an event (perhaps 
the lecture itself).

Surely there are many lectures on a variety of topics open to the public. I 
remember seeing a fascinating one on acupuncture for horses at NCSU in my 
undergrad years (what slides!). Wouldn't it be great to attend a talk on 
design, or textiles, or botany instead of seeing a JAG rerun?

Gentle InterNetworkers, what are your sources? Where do you park at UNC? 
And if any of you did make it, how was Dr. Smithies lecture?
