Grief Support Group for Men After a Substance-Use Death

This group is for men grieving someone’s death that was caused by substance use in any way, whether the manner of death was accidental overdose, suicide, homicide, medical complication, or some other kind of accident. Peer grief support helps individuals cope with the death of a family member or other beloved person, and engages people who have had a similar experience of loss in helping each other.

Pub? By Keira Heckman

Pub? follows the staff at the newly reopened Legless Lamb Inn, as they debrief after the world’s worst shift. Together they recount the errors of the night, sorting over-enthusiastic teenage waitresses, sexually charged chefs, and creepy customers, all to get an answer to that all important question: who’s to blame for everything that went wrong?

Talk: Newcomen presents Ingenious Women by Deborah Jaffé

Since Amye Everard Ball became the first woman to be granted an English patent in 1637, hundreds have been awarded to women but rarely cited. These overlooked women navigated legislation and social assumption of their times, to ensure their patents were registered as their own. Referring to themselves as housewives, widows, inventors, scientists, nurses, electricians and engineers, their patents were wide ranging including for industrial machinery, dishwashers, lifesaving equipment, safety devices for train travel, underwear for bicycle riding, stab proof vests, and the teaching of geometry.
