This Saturday at the Central Library downtown at 11 a.m., team-members from MIT's SENSEable City Lab will be in town to discuss their TrashTrack program. Over the summer, MIT researchers dropped tiny tracking devices into the garbage in NYC and Seattle to track their progress through the waste-management system and see where they wound up. Well, this week is presentation time, as the NY Times noted in an article this morning. The results can be fascinating, some of which are available on the program's blog. But the big news will all be on display starting this weekend. There's a presentation from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Microsoft Auditorium, followed by a reception from 12:30-1:30 on the fifth floor.
