Thumbnail is an open forum for the exchange of ideas, based on the model of Pecha Kucha. The format is explicit: 20 slides at 20 seconds each.
On Friday night, November 6, for the first time ever, the semesterly Thumbnail lecture was held simultaneously in the Milstein Auditorium and the AAP NYC Lecture Space. Speakers in both Ithaca and NYC presented a variety of ideas all pertaining to their “ordinary and extraordinary” interpretations on the theme of the event, LOOP. With the theme, the event managed to literally loop between the NYC and Ithaca studios during the presentations.
Topics ranged from architectural doughnuts to high-speed Hyperloop transportation and from knot techniques to comically philosophical analysis of déjà vu.

Thumbnail has always been a relaxing and fun experience that occurs every semester in the Milstein Auditorium, where anyone can come and listen to the exciting and short (20 slides, 20 seconds each) presentations of professors, alumni, and students from a variety of departments. Although the presentations are fast-paced, the framework encourages the presenter to convey ideas and information succinctly, and the audience is engaged and excited for more.
AAP NYC and Ithaca locations both celebrated a fun Friday evening with another successful Thumbnail event!
