SUMMARY:Second Life Birthday 20 YEARS
DESCRIPTION:Second Life’s 20th anniversary also marks Science Circle’s 15th anniversary.\nToday at 10 AM and 9 PM PDT we will take you on our last field trip. \nThis year’s theme is Our Fantastic Future. \n  \n“We are pleased to announce our Birthday theme for this year: Our Fantastic Future. The cornerstone of this idea is what we would define as eco-futurism including sustainability\, a focus on our environment\, and the next generation of our world. Some might call this science fiction\, but what is science fiction except a dream for a possible future? In Second Life we build worlds. Our worlds\, our way.” \n  \nIMPORTANT: \nSince most of us are Region hoppers\, it is recommended that you clear your Cache before TP-ing to the location.\nMe > Preferences > Advanced > Clear Cache > Ok \n  \nWe start at our home location and would be delighted if you join us!

SUMMARY:Human Evolution
DESCRIPTION:It seems like we constantly learn new things about Neanderthals that suggest they were more like us than we thought. We have also discovered more types of early humans such as Denisovans. Neanderthals and Denisovans are much older (that is\, they arose much earlier) than we did and lived in Europe or Asia\, but we came out of Africa. This is a little confusing. Please join us at the SC Lighthouse venue to try to unpack what to make of this new information and to learn about the evolution of humans more broadly. \n  \nResources: \nA Neanderthal Perspective on Human Origins – 2014 \nThe complex evolution of homo sapiens – 1\,000\,000 to 30\,000 years ago \nNeanderthal symbolism and ornament manufacture: The bursting of a bubble? \nBirch tar production does not prove Neanderthal behavioral complexity \nMeet the Ancestors \n  \nDiscussion led by Matt Burr (Beragon Betts)

SUMMARY:Aging\, part 2
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss the science and implications and potential approaches to better aging. Hosted by a molecular biologist with experience relevant to the field. Specific videos TBD. \nStephen Gasior (Xootfly). Stephen is an expert in DNA repair and highly knowledgeable about human genomics and has published in those fields. Please join him as he curates a selection of relevant videos and leads discussion on aging topics. \n  \nEmerging aging research | Nir Barzilai | TEDxBoston \nDr. Barzilai’s research interests are in the biology and genetics of aging. One focuses on the genetic of exceptional longevity\, where we hypothesize and demonstrated that centenarians have protective genes\, which allows the delay of aging or for the protection against age-related diseases. In a Program he is leading we take full advantage of phenotypes\, DNA\, and cells from the Ashkenazi Jewish families with exceptional longevity and the appropriate controls and his group have established at Einstein (over 2600 samples of which ~670 are centenarians) and discovered underling genomic differences associated with longevity. Longevity Genes Project (LGP) is a cross-sectional\, on-going collection of blood and phenotype from families with centenarian proband. LonGenity is a longitudinal study of 1400 subjects\, half offspring of parents with exceptional longevity\, validating and following their aging in relationship to their genome. The second direction\, for which Dr. Barzilai is holding an NIH Merit award that focuses on the metabolic decline of aging\, and his team hypothesize that the brain leads this decline. His lab has identified several central pathways that specifically alter body fat distribution and insulin action and secretion by intraventricular or hypothalamic administration of several peptides that are modulated by aging including: Leptin\, IGF-1\, IGFBP3 and resveratrol. \n  \nChampalimaud Research Symposium 2022 – Vera Gorbunova \nVera Gorbunova – Mechanisms of longevity and cancer resistance in long-lived mammals

Please join him as he curates a selection of relevant videos and leads discussion on aging topics. \n  \nThe Formula for Successful Aging | Gary Small | TEDxUCLA \nRecent scientific evidence is compelling that lifestyle habits have a significant impact on cognitive health and successful longevity; but the many reports are sometimes confusing and contradictory. This session will explain and highlight relevant new discoveries and translate them into practical strategies for improving memory performance\, optimizing brain health\, and living better longer.\n Parlow-Solomon Professor on Aging and Professor of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences\, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA; Director\, UCLA Longevity Center; Director\, UCLA Division of Geriatric Psychiatry\, Jane and Terry Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. \n  \nPeter Attia: What if we’re wrong about diabetes? \nAs a young ER doctor\, Peter Attia felt contempt for a patient with diabetes. She was overweight\, he thought\, and thus responsible for the fact that she needed a foot amputation. But years later\, Attia received an unpleasant medical surprise that led him to wonder: is our understanding of diabetes right? Could the precursors to diabetes cause obesity\, and not the other way around? A look at how assumptions may be leading us to wage the wrong medical war.

Now this is a correlation we have absolutely no idea what is causing this but it’s a real correlation. It’s been shown in many studies that a women going through menopause later will tend to live longer.’ \n  \nHow menopause affects the brain | Lisa Mosconi \nMany of the symptoms of menopause — hot flashes\, night sweats\, insomnia\, memory lapses\, depression and anxiety — start in the brain. How exactly does menopause impact cognitive health? Sharing groundbreaking findings from her research\, neuroscientist Lisa Mosconi reveals how decreasing hormonal levels affect brain aging — and shares simple lifestyle changes you can make to support lifelong brain health.

SUMMARY:Maths Club: Paul Erdős
DESCRIPTION:Paul Erdős and the INFINITUDE of  the PRIMES \n– from the annals of MathsClub of Science Circle\n  \nPresentation by Tagline – Robert A. Hendrix\, M.D. \n  \nGreat progress in mathematics was achieved during the tumultuous 20.century. There was such a plethora of new\, conceptual mathematics that of necessity\, \n\nthere is always a great deal they never get around to teaching you in your PhD programs regardless of your discipline.\n\nAmong other things\, it was the century of the eccentric\, Budapest-born Paul Erdős (pronounced “Pal Air-dush”\, b. 26 March 1913 – d. 20 September 1996). Over his lifetime\, Erdős became the most published mathematician in history (around 1\,500 mathematical papers as well as six books). We will take a close look at the life lived by this man – this unusual\, “homeless” mathematician\, described as the “MAN WHO LOVED ONLY NUMBERS”.  \nAnd we will consider the breadth of his contributions to modern mathematics. \nA series is a countably INFINITE SUM of numerical terms. We will define how such a series can have a definite total\, in which case it CONVERGES\, or if not\, then it DIVERGES. Firstly\, we will reflect on convergence vs divergence of a few infinite series; secondly\, a quick look at the Harmonic Series;  then we will focus on the question of CONVERGENCE of the “HARMONIC SERIES OF THE PRIMES“: \n \n  \nNow ask yourself\, “Does this infinite series actually converge? Does it actually equal a real number?” \nThis question was first settled by Swiss mathematician\, Leonhard Euler around 1740\, but his proof involved analytic functions such as the natural logarithmic function\, as well as some “sleight of hand” using intuitive mathematics that “crossed the line”.  Paul Erdős has an extraordinary and clever proof that further settles this question\, and his proof does NOT call on any special or analytic functions\, but rather depends on pure\, indisputable logic based on a deep dive into the properties of numbers.  Consequently\, the very approachable Erdős proof is a CLASSIC – we will deconstruct this proof step-by-step such that any audience member with a cup of coffee in hand can follow it. Erdős himself stated “a mathematician is a machine that transforms coffee into equations.” \nOnce you see the brilliance and depth of Erdős proof\, you will come away with a sense of awe for the depth and cleverness of pure number theory.  \nWe will also discuss the INFINITUDE OF THE PRIMES and EUCLID NUMBERS as a subset of Natural (counting) Numbers. Finally\, we will discuss the Ancient Greek LIMITATIONS in their understanding of NUMBERS. In closing\, we will state a couple of UNSOLVED PROBLEMS IN MODERN MATHEMATICS for members of the Science Circle audience to work on.

SUMMARY:Maths Club: Paul Erdős(SC East timeslot)
DESCRIPTION:Paul Erdős and the INFINITUDE of  the PRIMES \n– from the annals of MathsClub of Science Circle\nPresentation by Tagline – Robert A. Hendrix\, M.D. \n  \nGreat progress in mathematics was achieved during the tumultuous 20.century. There was such a plethora of new\, conceptual mathematics that of necessity\, \n\nthere is always a great deal they never get around to teaching you in your PhD programs regardless of your discipline.\n\nAmong other things\, it was the century of the eccentric\, Budapest-born Paul Erdős (pronounced “Pal Air-dush”\, b. 26 March 1913 – d. 20 September 1996). Over his lifetime\, Erdős became the most published mathematician in history (around 1\,500 mathematical papers as well as six books). We will take a close look at the life lived by this man – this unusual\, “homeless” mathematician\, described as the “MAN WHO LOVED ONLY NUMBERS”. \nAnd we will consider the breadth of his contributions to modern mathematics. \nA series is a countably INFINITE SUM of numerical terms. We will define how such a series can have a definite total\, in which case it CONVERGES\, or if not\, then it DIVERGES. Firstly\, we will reflect on convergence vs divergence of a few infinite series; secondly\, a quick look at the Harmonic Series;  then we will focus on the question of CONVERGENCE of the “HARMONIC SERIES OF THE PRIMES“: \n \nNow ask yourself\, “Does this infinite series actually converge? Does it actually equal a real number?” \nThis question was first settled by Swiss mathematician\, Leonhard Euler around 1740\, but his proof involved analytic functions such as the natural logarithmic function\, as well as some “sleight of hand” using intuitive mathematics that “crossed the line”.  Paul Erdős has an extraordinary and clever proof that further settles this question\, and his proof does NOT call on any special or analytic functions\, but rather depends on pure\, indisputable logic based on a deep dive into the properties of numbers.  Consequently\, the very approachable Erdős proof is a CLASSIC – we will deconstruct this proof step-by-step such that any audience member with a cup of coffee in hand can follow it. Erdős himself stated “a mathematician is a machine that transforms coffee into equations.” \nOnce you see the brilliance and depth of Erdős proof\, you will come away with a sense of awe for the depth and cleverness of pure number theory. \nWe will also discuss the INFINITUDE OF THE PRIMES and EUCLID NUMBERS as a subset of Natural (counting) Numbers. Finally\, we will discuss the Ancient Greek LIMITATIONS in their understanding of NUMBERS. In closing\, we will state a couple of UNSOLVED PROBLEMS IN MODERN MATHEMATICS for members of the Science Circle audience to work on. \n  \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:Maternity Hospital: A Metaphor for Human Fertilization
DESCRIPTION:Maternity Hospital: An Metaphor for human fertilization from gametogenesis through implantation\nA presentation by Phil Youngblood\, PH.D \n  \nI remember a video the teacher showed in biology class back when I was in secondary school in the 1960s in which an army of wiggly sperm swam at high speed in some kind of race\, through the bends and divisions of cavernous tunnels\, seeming to know the way\, until the vast majority of them surprised and attacked a defenseless egg cell. I was surprised to find this same video on YouTube the other month (albeit with freshened graphics and a hint in the narration of what else might be going on). \n  \nWhat goes on during human fertilization has proved difficult to study because of bioethics\, namely the possibility of endangering a pregnancy. What scientists have discovered however has led to a paradigm shift away from this male-dominated view of fertilization\, at least among the scientifically literate population. Yet\, talking about how the human body works from about the lungs down to the knees is still not something you do in ‘polite’ company in many cultures\, even among educated people\, and not even among intimate partners in more misogynistic cultures. So\, like so many subjects about which our first and last factual exposure to them occurred when we were teenagers\, old-fashioned and incorrect views about human fertilization persist in the general population\, at least until something goes wrong ‘down there.’ \n  \n‘Maternity Hospital’ is a way that I have devised to discuss the fascinating details of human fertilization without the use of graphic illustrations or descriptions. In fact\, the video about the sperm racing to attack the egg is as close to resembling what the physical environment looks like as I will get. The rest of the explanation is through use of metaphors about an environment that most of us have experienced sometime in our lives\, in-person or in media\, that of what happens in various rooms in a hospital and interactions among people with different roles within those rooms. A hospital run entirely by woman\, by the way. \nCome join me to discover how much you know\, or have not yet learned\, about the intricate and fascinating way in which gametes are created\, how they meet\, and how the egg is made ready to create a new human. NOTE: Gametogenesis will be covered lightly as a separate presentation following this one will go into the details of that initial part of the human fertilization process.

SUMMARY:Fly Me to the Moon!
DESCRIPTION:Fly Me to the Moon!\n  \nThere is a lot of activity going on out there beyond Earth orbit! And now the race is on again to land softly on the Moon and this time to stay for a while. \nA quick quiz (answers during the presentation): \n(1) How many spacecraft are in orbit around the Moon or active on its surface right now?\n(2) How many lunar missions are planned over the next five years worldwide?\n(3) How many nations have tried a soft landing on the Moon? What are their intentions? \nCome join representatives of The Science Circle’s Moon Base Group for this update on ‘Space Race 2.0′ that will include a brief summary of past lunar missions to create a background for a discussion about the flurry of activity in just the last year\, and the real planning that is known to be underway by national\, commercial\, and other agencies in the next five years or so. \nThe Moon Base Group will also update what we have learned and done in the first months of the Project\, including our dynamically evolving purpose and objectives\, our members’ personal (anonymized) objectives for the project\, the physical builds you can visit\, and where we think we are going from here. You are still invited to join us as we explore this important next phase of human exploration as part of a celebration of The Science Circle’s 15th Anniversary. \nIf there is time\, we will also touch on what is happening beyond the Moon\, because the Moon is viewed by many as a ‘steppingstone’ to missions beyond it. Did you know\, for example\, that there have been 50 missions by eight nations sent to Mars spanning over five decades\, and that there may be up to 18 spacecraft currently in orbit (seven active)\, plus five active missions on the surface?

SUMMARY:AI in Medical Diagnosis
DESCRIPTION:AI in Medical Diagnosis\nIn 2021\, I had the privilege of delivering a presentation on computer vision at the Science Circle. During the presentation\, I explored the dominant role of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in image-oriented tasks like classification\, segmentation\, and analysis. I also delved into practical applications within histopathology\, showcasing how AI aids in diagnosing diseases using microscopic tissue images. The emergence of the attention mechanism\, the foundation of technologies including ChatGPT\, has profoundly impacted computer vision. This rapid introduction of novel techniques has opened new opportunities in the field of medical image diagnosis with AI. In this presentation\, I will delve into these exciting developments\, including data fusion across different imaging modalities\, image captioning and diagnostic explainability. \n  \nA presentation by Karthik Prathaban. \n  \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:Mathematics Club
DESCRIPTION:  \nFor this 4PM Thursday 28.September 2023 meeting of Maths Club of Science Circle\, we will take a deep dive into “The Painter’s Dilemma”\, based on Gabriel’s Horn (La Trompette de Gabriel) which has FINITE VOLUME but INFINITE SURFACE AREA\, as studied by Evangelista Torricelli in 1641. The relationship of this unbounded structure to the harmonic series and the concept of volume of rotation underlying Gabriel’s Horn will be discussed. Finally\, we will consider the existence of 3-dimensional structures that are finite and bounded in volume\, yet of infinite surface area. One of these can be constructed using fractal geometry\, and the other I developed while on holiday. \n
