Rarely is the question asked, is our young adults learning? In New York City, this is a particularly pointed problem, considering the vast hordes of 20-something year old hipsters who inhabit the borough of Brooklyn. These hipsters don't want to grow up and be adults,
even in the face of becoming parents themselves. Our hipster youth is thus infantilized, becoming "
kidults" who only act for the sake of youthful nostalgia--e.g. ignoring the 2012 U.S. presidential election until Big Bird was threatened by Willard "Mittens" Romney. How do we reach these young people to teach them about science?
Why, through comfort food, of course! Since
foodies are the new hipsters, and
hipsters have a propensity to shell out half their income for fine cuisine, Your Editor-in-Chief at the Volidity Report decided to supplement a field trip to the American Museum of Natural History organized by
BoxySean with an educational meal.
