Entropy and Your Morning Coffee: Everyday Thermodynamics in Seven Minutes

Join Eric, Philip, and Shauna for a seven-minute panel that reveals the thermodynamics hiding in everyday moments—your cooling coffee, a warm shower, the way bread browns. We'll open with a quick sensory hook, then unpack three approachable ideas: what entropy feels like in small things, simple experiments to observe heat and order at home, and everyday decisions shaped by energy flows (cooling, insulation, efficiency). No equations—just clear metaphors, tiny demos you can try in under a minute, and practical takeaways to save time, sharpen observation, and make small choices differently. Designed for listeners short on time but curious about how basic physics quietly structures daily life. By the end you'll have one quick experiment to try, a new way to describe 'entropy' without jargon, and three simple habits to notice and use energy flows in your routines.
