SUMMARY:On Expectation and Prediction of Events
DESCRIPTION:ON EXPECTATION and PREDICTION OF EVENTS \nwith PROOF THAT LARGE NUMBERS RULE eventually… \nEvery event\, and configuration of events in the Universe is something of an accident arising from RANDOM arrangements\, and secondarily\, self-organizing complexity can occur. \nBiological evolution has selected for increasingly intricate and efficient neuro-processing by which living things can fulfil basic needs required for survival \n– self-preservation by avoiding or coping effectively with harmful environment situations \n– self-sustenance by finding energy sources (nutrition)\, water\, safe shelter \n– propagation of the species by finding mates for bisexual reproduction. \n  \nOrganisms that are less competent in any of the above are LESS LIKELY to live long. It is evident that animals without abstract\, spoken language still respond to their environments intelligently\, assessing situations in making choices. Further\, animals clearly hold EXPECTATION for certain outcomes based on experiential pattern recognition – in other words\, even animals display the ability TO PLAY THE ODDS.  \nSo what would happen if random events repeated indefinitely never came to anything more than a random outcome? What would exist in a treacherously UNPREDICTABLE WORLD? \nIn other words\, what if we lived in a Universe in which EXPECTATION did not exist? \nMeaningful\, interpretable outcomes from any process would not emerge. There would be no evolution\, no PREDICTABLE quantum orbitals in the atom\, no certainty nor recognizable uncertainty\, and NO SCIENCE WITH SCIENTIFIC INTERPRETATION OF DATA would be possible. \n“As fortune would have it”\, all of us DO live in a Universe in which we can look for EXPECTATION that most processes generally do have predictable outcomes. We live in a Universe in which the CASINO ALWAYS WINS – in a sense\, \nWE LIVE IN THE CASINO UNIVERSE. \nProbability Theory is an important discipline of mathematics\, as well as Decision Theory and Game Theory. Without applied Probability Theory which is inextricably related to Statistics and evaluation of DATA\, Science would have rigour limited to verbose\, qualitative explanations of “ALTERNATIVE FACTS” and much hand waving. \nConsider the simplest model for an experiment: the toss of a fair coin (50% Heads and 50% tails outcome per toss) – the EXPECTATION of outcomes seems obvious. But WHY will the end result PROBABLY approach the intuitive EXPECTED OUTCOME more and more closely as you toss the coin again and again? \n  \n \n  \nIn this presentation\, we will draw on the work of mathematicians: Jacob Bernoulli\, Pafnuty Chebyshev\, Andrey Markov\, Andrey Kolmogorov\, and others to show under what terms we can PROVE that an EVENT REPEATED WILL PROBABLY APPROACH AN EXPECTED VALUE EVENTUALLY without which\, Science would make no sense at all.  \nRobert Hendrix\, a.k.a. Tagline \n  \n  \n  \nPresentation by Robert A. Hendrix\, M.D.    \nPrevious talks on film \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nNon-members only need to register once. \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:What's In Our Water: The Science of Water Quality and Testing
DESCRIPTION:Liquid water is so essential to life as we know it that when we look for life beyond our planet we always look for water. What is it about water that all life on Earth needs it? \nWhat is ‘pure’ water? Is water without anything in it safe to drink? What is the difference between distilled\, filtered\, and purified water? \nWhat substances may be found naturally in water? What is the difference between contaminants and pollutants and what are their sources? \n  \nThe Hydrologic Cycle\n  \nFrom where do we get the water we use? What kinds of tests are conducted to measure the quality of that water? How often should these tests be conducted? What is the science behind different kinds of water quality tests? \nHow is the quality of water determined? What are the health limits for different organisms of having different natural and introduced substances in the water in which they live or drink? Who determines these limits? \nWhat are the human health effects of having certain substances in the water we use for recreation or consumption? \nCome join us to have these questions answered and hopefully answer others you may have about the life-sustaining substance we call water. \nPresentation by Dr. Phil Youngblood \n  \n \n  \n\n\n\nDr. Phil Youngblood\n\n\nPrevious lectures on film\n\n\nPodcast\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nNon-members only need to register once. \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:A Political Geographer's Perspective on Ukrainians and Their Territory
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of this presentation is to provide a brief overview of the Ukrainian people as a “nation\,” their historic aspirations to “statehood\,” and their relationship with Russian empires.  It should come as no surprise that the Ukrainian geographical and historical narrative is more complex than that offered by Vladimir Putin.  The talk is based on Dr. McBride/Johnson’s four decades of teaching political geography to university juniors/seniors/graduate students. \nA presentation by Merrill Johnson/Meryl McBride\, Ph.D. \n  \n  \nNon-members only need to register once. \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:Geology and Palaeontology of Greece
DESCRIPTION:Geology and Palaeontology of Greece\nThis is a sequel presentation to my talk on the role of Greece in Math and Science. Greece has a complex geologic history of plate tectonics\, volcanism\, earthquakes\, gems\, and rocks. This history has played a role in Greek civilizations like the Minoans as well as their architecture and sculptures. Over 10\,000 fossils have been found in Greece of organisms that have existed over the last 430 million years. I will start with the enigmatic conodonts\, then proceed to discuss diversity changes over the Phanerozoic including the rise of mollusks\, fish\, and eventually mammals in the Cenozoic. Some of these are poisonous to humans. \nBy: Dr. William Schmachtenberg – Dae Miami \n  \n  \n \n\n\n\nDr. William Schmachtenberg\n\n\nPrevious lectures on film\n\n\n \n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \nNon-members only need to register once to attend the free events. \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:Gender and Race in Science
DESCRIPTION:Gender and Race in science\nUnderrepresentation and disparities in treatment within the STEM fields are topics that are more liberally discussed in the modern age. I derived my interest for this topic from the movie: Hidden Figures (2016)\, which portrayed the brilliance of African American female mathematicians working at NASA (the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) in the midst of the space race. Circumstances may have improved but gender and racial underrepresentation and varying levels of success between different groups remains an issue. Are these products of stereotyping or ineffective policymaking or does society just need time? \n  \n  \n  \nNon-members only need to register once. \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:Too hot! Too dry! Too wet! The roller coaster of extreme weather in a climate-changing world
DESCRIPTION:What in the world is happening? What can we expect\, and what can we do? \nIn the past\, even the recent past\, wildfires had a season – early summer through early autumn. Today\, though\, the calendar turns are no more than marks for another day\, another week\, another month of wildfires popping up. And these fires are devastating. Should we have seen that coming? Could we have? \nThose questions lead us into looking at droughts. Where in the world are they? What weather patterns support and maintain them? When patterns repeat and repeat\, one reinforcing another\, do they signify change in climate? And what about the relationships between droughts and floods? \nWhile it may feel that we are helpless\, helpless is not our only option. Grounded in the reality of what is happening\, we’ll conclude by exploring together how we might help with recovery and restoration\, prevention\, and scaling solutions. \nA joint presentation by Linda M. Kelley and Dr. Keith E. Grant \n  \n  \nNon-members only need to register once. \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:Darwin Day\, Heroes of Evolution: E. O. Wilson
DESCRIPTION:Darwin Day \nHeroes of Evolution: E. O. Wilson \n  \nYou may have already been exposed to one of E.O. Wilson’s works\, E.O. Wilson’s Life on Earth\, a multi-media textbook released for free. It was in many ways indicative of his career: brilliant\, expansive\, engaging\, and a joy to read. Wilson was one of the giants of evolutionary theory in the 21st century. He primarily focused his science on communal insect species authoring several groundbreaking and/or authoritative works on them. He also helped found the field of sociobiology in which lessons from social insects drove hypotheses to explain human group behavior. Many of his proposals were not without controversy.  \nThis talk will cover the works and life of one of the greats in evolutionary theory even termed a “natural heir of Darwin.”  \n  \nPresentation by Dr. Stephen Gasior (Xootfly) \n \n  \n  \n\n\n\nDr. Stephen L. Gasior\n\n\nPrevious lectures on film\n\n\nPodcasts\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \nNon-members only need to register once. \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

Loneliness is a subjective feeling where the connections we need are greater than the connections we have. In the gap\, we experience loneliness. It’s distinct from the objective state of isolation\, which is determined by the number of people around you.” ~Vivek Murthy \nNon-members only need to register once. \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:Science Communication in\, or in preparation for a pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Science Communication in\, or in preparation for a pandemic\n \nMitigating the damage of the COVID-19 pandemic has been hugely dependent on society’s adoption of personal protective measures to curb the spread of the virus. Misinformation has also been cited as a threat to the employment of countermeasures like vaccines. To what extent is the public understanding of the mechanisms by which diseases spread or medical solutions function important in improving survival outcomes during a pandemic? Is it sufficient or perhaps better to be reliant on expert opinions and policies alone? \n  \n  \nNon-members only need to register once. \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:Organic Chem Basics: Diels-Alder and similar reactions
DESCRIPTION:Organic Chem Basics: Diels-Alder and similar reactions\nThe 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Dr. Benjamin List (Max PLack Institute)  and Dr. David MacMillam (Princeton University) for “the development of asymmetric organocatalysis.” One of the first reactions that they found could be catalyzed by purely organic compounds was the Diels-Alder reaction. The Diels-Alder reaction is a well-known example of a fundamental class of reactions in organic chemistry\, and it can proceed unaided\, be catalyzed by metal-containing compounds\, or most recently catalyzed by purely organic species. We’ll talk about what makes the Diels-Alder reaction special\, and how it has been catalyzed in the past\, and why the recent Nobel prize is seen as a jump forward. \nA presentation by Dr Michael J. Shaw \n  \nNon-members only need to register once. \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.
