A quirky Japanese event is making the rounds: a lecture titled "Group theory from category theory, taught by a maid," scheduled for December 20. Part one features a 90-minute lecture followed by photo sessions and merch; part two is an offline meetup. The hardcore-math-meets-maid-café juxtaposition was shared by X user burnytech as "based things happening in Japan."
