Ask an IBM Mad Scientist Anything, Today on Reddit

IBMer John Cohn. He’s super smart, with 65+ patents to his name.  He’s a reality TV star.  A backyard science experimenter. A regular “Burning Man” attendee. And was on the team that created video gaming chips. All in all, he has more nerd cred than you can shake a Tesla coil at. 

And today, at 12.30 EST, he’ll also become a Reddit AMAer, so you can ask John anything!

Just sign in to Reddit and join in on the geek-kingdom conversation.   (You need to have an account to ask John anything, so if you don’t have one, create one here.)

Oh, and don’t forget to ask him about Innovation through Play! See you there!
