Profs. and Pints: Seeking Our Earliest Ancestors at Triple Crossing Fulton May 17th (TONIGHT), 6 PM, $6-8, Tickets Here
By earliest ancestors, we’re not talking about your great-great-grandpappy who ran a still. We’re talking your grandpappy who ran from critters that wanted to eat him for lunch.
Profs and Pints Richmond presents: “Seeking Our Earliest Ancestors,” with Dr. Amy L. Rector of Virginia Commonwealth University, a paleoanthropologist who has spent more than 20 years investigating human origins on the African continent.
What does it mean to be human? That’s the primary question that drives the research of Professor Amy Rector, a paleoanthropologist and paleoecologist who also serves as director World Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University.
Her quest for knowledge about our earliest ancestors has taken her to the field in Morocco, South Africa, and Ethiopia, and has her in the process of launching a new research project in Zambia. But you don’t have to go any farther than Richmond’s Triple Crossing-Fulton brewpub to learn about her most interesting findings and experiences.
Dr. Rector will discuss how her work involves identifying fossils from 2 to 3 million years ago to reconstruct what the world must have looked like when our ancestors work up in the morning. Using such information, she seeks to piece together the story of how environmental contexts shaped the evolutionary history of our lineage. What was food for such ancestors? As important: What around them considered them food? The answers to these questions shed light on what traits enabled them to avoid starvation and escape predators long enough to pass on their genes.
She’ll discuss how we identify our ancestors in the fossil record and tell stories of fossil hunting adventures and experiences such as coming face to face with a hyena in the dark. It will be an absolutely fascinating evening, and Triple Crossing’s great beer and pizza will ensure that the environmental context for it is darned good. (Advance tickets: $12. Doors: $15, or $13 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. Talk starts 30 minutes later. Please allow yourself time to place any orders and get seated and settled in.)

No robot for Richmond yet but maybe someday the future will be here as well.
Three Notch’d Brewing testing robotic food runner – NBC29
“Every table is put into the machine, it’s got a little screen on the back, you just hit the table number, it goes right to the side of the table and parks,” Scott Roth said. “The idea would be that if you’re running short on hosts or on food runners, which a lot of people in our industry are, you might have an opportunity to try to offset some of that with the use of the robot.”

The Kickers are still trying to get back to their winning ways. The didn’t lose but they didn’t win on Saturday so a step in the right direction.
The Richmond Kickers (2-2-2, 8 pts) battled to a 1-1 draw against reigning USL League One titleholders, Union Omaha (1-1-3, 6 pts), Saturday night, as new Kickers’ signing Owayne Gordon scored the equalizer in his first start for the club.
In their third home match in seven days, the Kickers asserted themselves early and pushed for a go-ahead goal. Emiliano Terzaghi and Gordon formed a strike partnership up top and looked to combine often. Terzaghi crossed the ball from the right wing, in the 8th minute, nearly finding Gordon, but the cross was intercepted by Omaha goalkeeper, Rashid Nuhu.
Later, in the 20th minute, the Kickers had another big opportunity to score from a header. Stephen Payne lofted a dangerous ball into the box to Gordon who rose above his marker. The forward made a connection, but the header went just high of the crossbar.
The visitors would ultimately find the opening goal of the night against the run of play. In the 25th minute, Ryen Jiba carried the ball up the left side in transition and played a cross into the box to Noe Meza who headed the ball on target at point-blank range.
The Omaha lead did not last for long as Stuart Ritchie was able to lead Gordon with a piercing through ball in the 40th minute. Flanked by a defender as Nuhu charged forward in the box, Gordon remained on his feet instead of drawing the foul and chipped the ball into the back of the net.
With the momentum going in the Kickers’ favor in the waning minutes of the first half, Nil Vinyals nearly found the go-ahead off a free kick, hitting the top right corner of the crossbar six minutes into extra time.
The second half saw both sides create near chances but neither could break the deadlock.
In the 78th minute, on the break, Omaha was able to play a one-two that opened up space for a one-on-one attempt against Fitzgerald. The reigning USL League One Goalkeeper of the Year remained resolute on his line, baited the attacking player to shoot early, and denied the potential go-ahead goal.
The Kickers nearly found their go-ahead goal in the 82nd minute with a free kick taken by Leonardo Baima. The Argentine initially looked to play a cross to the back post but instead knuckled his attempt high and on frame, forcing Omaha’s reserve goalkeeper Kevin Piedrahita to make a last-second backward save.
Richmond has the opportunity to enjoy a more traditional week as it prepares to travel for one match next week. The Roos are on the road to FC Tucson on Friday, May 20. Kickoff in the desert is set for 10 pm.
