Leap Year and the Brain! What Calendars Teach Us about Us! featuring Troy Swanson

This year, 2024, is a leap year, which means that we add one extra day to our calendar. We have a leap year every four years, but this has not always been the case. Our modern calendars define so much about our lives. The hour of the day, the day of the week, and the month of the year, dictate when we go to school or work, when we celebrate holidays, or when we have a birthday. But, our calendars tell us more. They also tell us how we frame time and our physical world. This talk will explore our calendars and what they say about how we know our world. This event is part of the Honors Program’s brown bag talk series.
