On popular demand, we are back with another special session for The Dopamine Diaries on Saturday 6th June 2:00-4:00 pm!

We’re back with another deep-dive lecture, and this time, we’re stepping inside the storytelling brain itself.

The speaker, our very own Dr. Sumyuktha Anand, an Ivy League–trained neuroscientist, science communicator, and Curriculum Specialist at JoVE. With research spanning addiction, reward systems, neurodevelopment, and neuro-oncology, her talks blend neuroscience, internet culture, psychology, and deeply human storytelling.

🧠 What if “Main Character Syndrome” isn’t just an internet joke, but a consequence of how the human brain evolved?

Why does being perceived online feel so emotionally intense?
Why do we romanticize our lives like films?
And why does modern life increasingly feel like a performance for invisible audiences?

In this immersive session, Dr. Anand explores the neuroscience of identity, attention, and selfhood in the age of algorithms, from dopamine reward systems and social validation circuitry to parasocial attachment, emotional salience, and narrative identity.

But this won’t just be a lecture.

Through live audience experiments and interactive neuroscience experiences, you’ll feel how the brain changes when it believes it’s being watched.

Part neuroscience lecture, part cultural deep dive, part collective self-reflection, this is a session that will leave you questioning whether you’re living your life…or editing it for an audience.

🍺 What to Expect
• 60-minute lecture + interactive Q&A
• Live audience experiments & immersive experiences
• One pint of beer/mocktail with your ticket
• Post-lecture mixer

We’re thrilled to bring you Gayathri, an independent textile researcher reviving historic South Indian weaving traditions through archival research and collaborations with artisans. Her work began with recreating an 1850s Thanjavur Ikkat saree from a Victoria & Albert Museum archive, and now draws from collections including DakshinaChitra, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the National Museum in Delhi, and Forbes Watson’s 19th-century textile catalogue.

Talk: The Fabric of Truth
Silk, Authenticity, and Tamil Nadu’s Forgotten Textiles

Can you really tell handloom from powerloom? What makes silk truly authentic?

This talk unravels the science, history, and politics of silk in Tamil Nadu—from identifying genuine handloom and decoding silk quality to exploring why Kanchivaram became the state’s dominant textile identity.

We’ll also uncover lesser-known weaving and printing traditions that shaped Tamil Nadu’s textile history. Gayathri will bring pieces from her personal archival collection, giving attendees the chance to see, touch, and examine rare textiles up close.

🍺 What to Expect
• 60-minute lecture + interactive Q&A
• Experience the speakers personal Archival saree collection
• One pint of beer, mocktail, or coffee with your ticket
• A lively post-lecture mixer

If you’ve been meaning to come…this is your sign.

We’re doing Pint of View a little differently this time,
chai, coffee, 90s snacks, and as always, a real conversation not a traditional lecture.

No drinks. No panels. Just people, food, and curiosity.

🎟️ Get in while you can.

What if your weekend plan looked a little different than the usual drinks at the usual bar?

Add to it a blend of stimulating subjects, witty conversations and a chance to meet some intellectually curious folks.
That’s Pint of View for you.

Where we’re making learning fun again; but in a bar/cafe instead of a classroom.

With topics ranging from neuroscience, biology, physics, art, architecture and more – we bring you speakers with brilliant academic chops and a wealth of expertise.

If there’s a subject you wish you could’ve studied, but didn’t get a chance to, we’ll bring it to you, and in your favourite bars / cafés at that!

Slide through to see what an evening with .chennai looks like, and bring your crew for the next one.

The drinks will be cold. The talk will be warm. And the curiosity?
Always thriving.

Processed food is bad for you…
or is it?

Most of us don’t actually fear food —
we fear labels, buzzwords, and marketing that thrives on confusion.

Food today is engineered for flavour, texture, shelf-life, and profit.
That doesn’t automatically make it harmful.
But it does mean we need to understand it better.

At our next Pint of View lecture, we’re unpacking how everyday food is made, marketed, and misunderstood — without panic, guilt, or perfectionism.

And this time, we’re meeting in a café.
Because curiosity doesn’t always want a bar.
Sometimes it wants chai, coffee, and thoughtful conversations.

Meet our upcoming speaker, Dr. Srisowmeya Guruchandran, a food technologist, interdisciplinary researcher, and FSSAI-certified Food Analyst currently working as a Post-Doctoral Researcher at IIT Madras.

With multiple certifications in food safety and quality management, she works at the cutting edge of how our food is tested, processed, regulated, and improved.

But what truly sets her apart is this:
She believes food science shouldn’t live only in labs and journals , it should be something everyone can understand.

From decoding ingredient lists and additives to explaining how food processing really works (and when it’s actually a good thing), Dr. Sowmeya has a rare talent for turning complex science into clear, relatable insights you can use in everyday life.

Her mission?
To help people make informed food choices without fear, guilt, or confusion, just facts, clarity, and confidence.

If you’ve ever stood in a supermarket aisle wondering “Is this actually healthy?” — this is the talk you don’t want to miss.
