SUMMARY:Sustainable Energy Science Lab
DESCRIPTION:Solar Sierra and Windy Schor represent EnergyTeachers.org in Second Life\, building virtual objects for exploring real-life technologies\, and holding meetings and discussions between educators and interested people. \nWindy uses the somewhat realistic wind that blows through Second Life regions to develop methods for gathering statistics about wind\, and for modeling wind power systems. \nSolar builds models of solar cookers\, heliostats\, daylighting\, and photovoltaic systems. \nWindy and Solar hope to offer EnergyTeachers.org’s Green Dollhouse Challenge in Second Life. The Green Dollhouse Challenge is an event where a jury of building professionals and educators judge models of sustainable buildings on their merits rather than competitively. \nWindy and Solar will offer a tour of our Sustainable Energy Science Lab in Second Life on Etopia Island \nWe’ll look at ways scripting objects in Second Life models the way light\, wind\, and water work for us\, and how data-visualization exposes the ways experts and the public can analyze these resources and turn understanding into fun and practical technologies from power to cooking to art to architecture. \nTour led by Shawn Reeves \n  \n  \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:Genome Island
DESCRIPTION:This presentation has since taken place\, you can view the film recording here\n  \nTour of Genome Island \nGenome Island was constructed by Mary Anne Clark (Max Chatnoir) to serve as a virtual laboratory\, and is divided into several regions\, each of which focuses on some area of genetics.  Max has used it for teaching both majors and nonmajors\, and the island is open for use by other students. \n  \n \nThe Abbey\, Greenhouse and South Abbey Garden house information and experiments illustrating the Mendelian Laws of Inheritance.  The adjacent North Abbey Garden\, the Apiary\, the Cattery\, the Aviary and the Mixollama Herd demonstrate variations on the Mendelian Laws\, e.g. incomplete dominance\, X-linkage\, interactive genes\, and linkage.       \n  \n  \nIn the multistoried Tower are a series of experiments establishing the principles of molecular genetics:  DNA\, RNA and proteins.  The tower also features the human genome\, beginning with a gallery of human chromosomes and extending into the relationship of the human genomes to other animal genomes.  Higher up in the Tower are several sections devoted to Drosophila genetics and bacterial genetics.  Finally a few sections were used to develop special projects:  Meiosis\, human blood disorders\, and the genomes of the Influenza A and SARS-CoV-2.  An aerial ramp connects the Tower to the Bioinformatics Platform\, which illustrates the uses of various genetics databases.  \n  \nTwo sections of Genome Island describe other genomes:  the Garden of Prokaryotic Genomes on the north end of the island and a Gallery of Eukaryotic Genomes on a boardwalk below the Tower.  Population Genetics is the focus of the Gene Pool and the Population Platform that lies above it.  On the southern bank of the Gene Pool is Ribosome Row\, which illustrates how genetic information is used in the synthesis of proteins.  A teleporter links Ribosome Row to the molecular genetics section of the Tower.  \n \nAbove the South end of the island is a platform with kiosks containing activities that were once housed on a separate Cell Island and which illustrate various aspects of cell biology.  This includes a model cell big enough for an avatar to move around in.  \n  \n \n  \nGenome Island also contains a number of regions where instructors and students can meet for discussion:  the Genome Science Theatre\, the conference area of the Abbey\, and several different sections that can accommodate small groups.  Student projects are exhibited in the Project Terrace located South of the Abbey Garden.  \n  \n  \n  \nDr. Mary Anne Clark\, Texas Wesleyan University (aka Max Chatnoir)  \nPrevious work in the Film Collection \n  \n  \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first. \n

SUMMARY:Avatar Psychology
DESCRIPTION:This presentation has since taken place\, you can view the film recording here\n  \nPeople experience a 3D virtual world through an avatar representation of their real world self. A virtual world avatar can be distinguished from a static social media thumbnail or handle in that a VW avatar is dynamic and 3-dimensional. Typically\, the VW avatar form is either chosen from a menu of premade forms or is assembled from a library of components. In either case\, the avatar can be customized with an almost limitless array of elements. The choices made in creating an avatar\, the way others react to your avatar\, and how you respond to other avatars is psychologically revealing and challenging. An avatar need not resemble the real person at all. It can be a non-human form or human but look different from the person’s “real life.” Indeed\, an avatar can be a powerful modality to test a new identity such as transgender in a fully social virtual environment. This causes a distinct shift in one’s body awareness. How a person adapts to this shift has strong psychological implications. \n  \n \n  \nSome people find the avatar experience so foreign that they either are very uncomfortable or decline the opportunity entirely\, perhaps due to reduced visual cues inherent in in-person interaction or to how closely participants identify with their avatars and how much they recognize the people behind other avatars. This is a psychological clue about how deeply our perception of self is connected to the emotional investment we make in our avatar. \nDuring the pandemic\, educators and students alike have been introduced rather abruptly to the virtual environment. While grappling with how to teach and learn\, they may not be aware of the impact of how they present themselves has on the way they interact with each other. Some educators and students adapt well to the virtual environment while others find it uncomfortable. Understanding these aspects of the virtual environment is a critical element in the success of online education.   \n  \n\n\nPanel participants: \n\nDominique Meldau\nDeepthinker Oh\nPhil Youngblood\n\n  \nHost scientific debates: Matthew Burr \n \nPreviously recorded panels \n\n\n  \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:Weather Models\, Climate Models\, Observations\, and Parallel Earths
DESCRIPTION:This presentation has since taken place\, you can view the film recording here\n  \nImage: Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory\, NOAA \n  \nWeather Models\, Climate Models\, Observations\, and Parallel Earths\nWeather models and climate models share some core algorithms. They also share algorithms with the models used to obtain properties of the atmosphere and surface from satellite observations. There are differences also\, largely a reflection of different spans of time. All three depend on local observations but in different ways.  \n  \nFLUXNET: Net Ecosystem Exchange CO2\, latent and sensible heat for 1992 at Harvard Forest: Total (blue)\, Day (red)\, Night (green). [Climate Data Guide; D. Shea]\n  \n  \n  \n  \nSatellite observations can be effectively instantaneous\, many acquired within a single day. Climate model runs span years\, requiring inclusion of seasonal changes and feedbacks of surface and ocean. Weather models are only able to predict the weather up to about two-weeks into the future before the actual weather and the model weather diverge. This does not mean that the weather the model creates is unrealistic. A person on a parallel Earth with the model’s weather wouldn’t be able to tell from the weather alone that they weren’t on our Earth. That’s a bridge between weather modeling and climate modeling. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nBy Keith Eric Grant \nPrevious recordings \nClimate Change panel can be found here \nPapers in the Library \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:Genomic Parasites Nibbling Away at Us: Why I should win the Nobel Prize
DESCRIPTION:This presentation has since taken place\, you can view the film recording here\nAging\, infertility\, neural degeneration\, cancer\, genetic variability. What could they all have in common? An underappreciated source of their cause in little genomic parasites known as retrotransposons. Retrotransposon exist in our genomes and live a life of copying and pasting into new locations to reproduce themselves. Unfortunately\, this involves making breaks in DNA to insert themselves. This DNA breaking is\, well\, bad for genomes to stay intact. While long thought to be dormant in most cells\, they were found to actually be actively expressed. To be discussed will be the speaker’s seminal work on demonstrating the DNA breaking activity of retrotransposons in human cells and the potential impact they have on human health. The case will be made for this body of work to be in the running for Nobel Prize recognition.  \n  \nDNA damage theory of aging \nLong interspersed nuclear elements \n  \n  \nDr. Stephen L.

SUMMARY:The COVID-19 Pandemic: Envisioning the Future
DESCRIPTION:This presentation has since taken place\, you can view the film recording here\n \nThe COVID-19 Pandemic: Envisioning the Future\n\n Phillip D. Youngblood\, Ph.D. \n  \nA major pandemic is sweeping the globe. While new cases and COVID-19 related deaths continue to climb throughout our connected world\, there are signs that the pandemic has reached its peak in several parts of the world. Individuals and societal groups are reacting differently\, looking for solutions to stem the threat to our health and way of life. \n  \n \n  \nIn the face of this threat\, people are turning to governments for action\, to the medical community for help\, to the scientific community for answers\, to commercial entities for products\, to mass media for information\, to social media for support\, and to non-scientific organizations for miracles. In many ways\, the pandemic is not just a test of our immune systems\, but of what we hold valuable and where we put our trust. \n  \n  \n \n  \nDr. Youngblood will bring us up to date on the pandemic and discuss the science and psychology behind what we are being asked to do to save the lives of others and possibly our own.  \nNo one has “2020 hindsight” about what will happen next\, but we can share probable futures based on experiences in our past and the ability of the scientific approach to project future trends. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhil Youngblood\, Ph.D. \nPrevious presentations in the Film Collection \nPrevious work in the Library \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPodcast – Guest: Phil Youngblood \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nNote to the audience: This is not a forum for blaming others. A pandemic cannot occur unless millions of people create it. \nInstead\, let us discuss together the science and psychology of what has happened\, what is happening\, and what may happen.    \n  \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first. \n

SUMMARY:Physics & Arts
DESCRIPTION:This presentation has since taken place\, you can view the film recording here \n  \nPhysics and Arts \nThe talk will try to demonstrate\, with many examples\, that science and arts are much more entangled than what is commonly understood. Not only because arts make use of the most recent technological developments to create new forms of expressions\, but also at a much deeper level. Both Sciences and Arts are in fact different ways to systematise and organize the perception of the world  and therefore reflect what in a given epoch can be called the “cultural paradigm”. Every time deep changes take place in this paradigm\, equally deep changes take place in both Arts and Sciences. In some cases arts anticipates science and in others science anticipate Arts.   \n  \nGiuseppe Longo \nChair Data Science Initiative  \nProfessor of Astrophysics \nAccademico Pontaniano \n——————————————– \nDepartment of Physics “E.

SUMMARY:Data into insight: Teasing out how molecules behave
DESCRIPTION:This presentation has since taken place\, you can view the film recording here \n  \n“Data into insight: Teasing out how molecules behave” \nMy current research involves the exploration of electron-transfer events on models of biologically-relevant molecules such as the heme-nitric-oxide complex. My students learn how to work with air- and moisture-sensitive materials so as to prepare target compounds\, and then we have to gather data on these materials so as to be able to prove they are what we set out to make. Once we have the materials in hand\, we can start doing experiments which probe the chemical consequences of electron transfer on these compounds. \n \nWith examples from my research program\, I’ll show you how data we collect tells us about the quality of the materials\, and how the data reveals the consequences of electron-transfer events involving these materials. I’ll talk specifically about what we can learn from infrared spectroscopy\, magnetic resonance\, and an electrochemical technique called voltammetry. \n  \nMike J.
