SUMMARY:Understanding Science: Particle Physics
DESCRIPTION:Niels Henrik David Bohr 1885 – 1962. Danish physicist who made foundational contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory\, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922.\n  \n  \nUnderstanding Science\nParticle Physics: The Search for the Smallest of Things\n  \nOnly a century ago\, while the concept of an irreducible object known as an atom was long known and there was growing evidence for its existence\, most people had little idea that atom were composed of even smaller particles\, many of them with exotic characteristics.  \n  \n  \nRichard Phillips Feynman 1918 – 1988 was an American theoretical physicist\nIn the next few decades\, electrons\, protons\, and neutrons\, the relatively stable particles that make up the atoms that constitute all matter were discovered\, followed by particles only found in natural events involving high energy. As more powerful particle accelerators were developed\, still more exotic particles were theorized and discovered and a Standard Model of how particles interacted and were related was formed in the 1960’s-1970’s. \n  \n  \nWhat does the Standard Model reveal about the particles that make up everything? How can Feynman diagrams show particle interactions? What is missing from the Standard Model? Join me as we explore the search for the smallest of things – subatomic particles – and what we have learned about them.          \n  \nPresentation by Dr. Phil Youngblood \n  \n  \n \n  \n\n\n\nDr. Phil Youngblood\n\n\nReference work in the library\n\n\nPrevious lectures on film\n\n\nPodcast\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nNon-members can register for the free events through SC members. \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first. \n  \n

SUMMARY:A few of my favorite hemes
DESCRIPTION:A few of my favorite hemes.  \nThe “heme cofactor” is familiar to us as the part of hemoglobin where oxygen attaches for transport through blood. It lends blood its characteristic color. However\, the heme unit is a versatile part of many biological functions. It participates in the metabolism of perceived toxins by the liver\, in the production and sensing of the neurotransmitter NO\, and as support for other enzyme systems by managing  electron availability. In this talk\, we will explore some of the basic structural features of heme and their consequences in biological systems. \n  \n  \nMyoglobin\, Hemoglobin\, and their Ligands \nHeme Proteins \nNitric Oxide Synthase \nMyoglobin \nCytochrome c \nHeme metabolism \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n\n\n\nDr. Mike Shaw\n\n\nReference work in the library\n\n\nPrevious lectures on film\n\n\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. \n

SUMMARY:Henupoto Wara: Supernatural Anti-Hero of the Mythical Past
DESCRIPTION:Graphic: The Emberá Comarca of Eastern Panama within the red circle \n  \nHenupoto Wara: Supernatural Anti-Hero of the Mythical Past \n  \nThe Emberá\, a tropical lowland tribe of the Darién rain forest of Eastern Panama and the Pacific coastal lowlands of Colombia\, have a strong tradition of telling detailed stories about animals\, spirits\, and demons and of adventures in the mythical past.  Henupoto Wara\, or Leg-Born Child\, is one of the most famous stories and chronicles the adventures of this cultural anti-hero as he engages the many supernatural ecologies and denizens of Emberá cosmology.  This discussion presents the story and discusses an interpretation of some of the ecological images\, assumed knowledge and cosmological implications embedded is this oft-told narrative. \n  \nHenupoto tries to tear off the face of the moon because the elders said the moon killed his mother.\nThe story of Henupoto is one of the most well-known stories of the pantheon of Emberá stories\, myths\, legends and narratives. It is the story of a man who is born of the union between a spirit and a woman.  His mother dies in childbirth and he grows up a troubled but powerful orphan constantly trying to locate the being that killed his mother.  As part supernatural being\, he executes a series of herculean tasks that require his special skills.  Like many characters in stories among the Emberá\, Henupoto is not precisely a hero but rather a supernaturally strong anti-hero that makes embarrassing demands upon society that results in the elders always trying to figure out a way to get rid of him. However\, no matter how difficult the task they assign or how unlikely he is to succeed at the tasks\, he comes out victorious.  That is\, until the dramatic end.  His efforts\, it can be interpreted\, profoundly protect society from the potential ravages of the supernatural world.  Henupoto is constantly upsetting and resetting the balance between the human\, the natural and the supernatural worlds.  Although Henupoto is universally admired among the Emberá\, for his strength\, cunning\, skill and determination\, he is also an outcast and a cosmic misfit.  He is also comically naïve as he attempts to track down the being that killed his mother when it was he\, himself\, when he was born\, who caused his mother to die in childbirth. \n  \n  \nEmberá in ceremonial dress from Emberá Drua\, a village on the upper Chagres River\, Panama\nThe Emberá have a sophisticated cosmology or\, if you will\, religion in which the many actors\, spirits\, demons\, people\, animals and natural forces interact in a complex and dynamic spiritual equilibrium.  It is often the role of the shaman or in this case a human spirit being to maintain this equilibrium by creating harmony among all these competing forces and to ensure that the spirits from time-to-time can be bound to human intention through carefully executed rituals that seduce the often ambivalent spirits into cooperation.   The Emberá have a strong narrative tradition that communicates ecological principles. The stories contain strong evocative images and symbols and form a type of encapsulated language\, coding metaphorically the actions of the human and spirit world. This language\, with its ecological imagery\, shows what happens when the cultural rules are broken and they delineate the fine line between the cultural and spiritual domain. \n  \nEmberá Drua village in the upper Chagres River\, Panama\n  \nThe story of Henupoto dramatically illustrates the supernatural struggle of cosmological forces and demonstrates the power of narratives to encode culturally rich information.  Myths\, such as Henupoto\, provide a unique view into the complex cultural perspective of traditional cultures that practice a pre-literary narrative tradition for countless generations.  \n  \n  \nPresentation by William Harp\nInformation Systems Technologist\, Cultural Anthropologist and Geospatial Analyst \n  \n \n  \n\n\n\nWilliam Harp\n\n\nPrevious lectures on film\n\n\n \n\n\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:Fireside Chat Gravity
DESCRIPTION:Fireside Chat Gravity: The Reckoning\nFrom black holes to landing a rover on Mars\, gravity is the essential consideration. Gravity is not a classical force like magnetism. Newton described the behavior of objects subject to gravity\, but did not describe its nature. Einstein showed mathematically that gravity is mass/energy distorting spacetime. Accordingly\, gravity is now understood to be that mass-induced spacetime distortion/curvature. Please join us for an informal chat to explore the ramifications of the modern understanding of gravity and to have your questions addressed by our panelists. \n\nwith Matthew Burr\, Dr. Phil Youngblood & Dr. William Wall. \n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\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:Panel: Gravity
DESCRIPTION:To aid everyone in the audience in getting the most from our presentations\, The Science Circle is introducing a series of presentations that seek to explain popular and important topics in different fields of science. Each presentation will start with a basic understanding that most pre-college students may have and gradually work up to the types of things that experts know\, and still do not know\, about each topic\, all within an hour. \n  \nFor this month’s Panel discussion\, the topic is Gravity. Gravity is something so present in our lives that we may take it for granted\, but it is also what makes possible some of the most fantastical concepts that explain\, and objects that make up\, our known universe. \n\n     Panel Host Matthew Burr will start by reviewing that we understood about Gravity until the beginning of the 1900’s\, based on Newtonian mechanics.\n     Dr. Phil Youngblood will then review the new ideas that Einstein discovered at the turn of the century regarding the relativity of space-time. \n     Dr. William Wall will conclude by talking about Einstein’s field equations and the more exotic aspects of gravity associated with massive objects.       \nOn March 20\, Phil Youngblood will continue the series with an explanation of “Elementary Particles” at different levels of understanding. \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhil Youngblood\nWilliam Wall\n\n\n\n  \n  \n \n  \n  \n\n\n\nMatthew Burr\n\n\nPrevious panels on film\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nFireside Chat Wednesday\, March 3 at 4 PM PST \n  \nNon-members can register for the free event. \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:Climate Change and Risk Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Graphics tweeted by the International Federation of Red Cross / Red Crescent (IFRC) during the recent Climate Adaptation Summit (CAS 2021) summarize potential physical consequences of climate change and their social impacts. \n  \nClimate Change and Risk Analysis \nOver the last 40 years\, a wide scientific consensus predicted a global\, annual average\, temperature increase due to human emissions of carbon dioxide plus the feedback of the amount of water vapor that the atmosphere can contain as the atmospheric temperatures increased. The primary focus of scientific policy recommendations was mitigation of such global warming by shifting to carbon neutral energy production  Nonetheless\, the atmospheric concentration of CO2 has continued to increase from a preindustrial value of 285 ppm (parts per million) to a concentration in 2000 of 370 ppm to about 418 ppm today\, high than any prior time in human history.. This increase is sufficient that we can no longer focus only on global emissions reduction but must reckon with local adaptations to already existing economic and social system risks\, where a risk is considered to be an undesirable event stemming from a changing climate. \n  \nGraphics tweeted by the International Federation of Red Cross / Red Crescent (IFRC) during the recent Climate Adaptation Summit (CAS 2021) summarize potential physical consequences of climate change and their social impacts.\n  \nThis initiates a project\, often at the level of cities and counties\, of identifying potential risks\, estimating various levels of likelihood\, tying those levels to consequences for human lives\, social systems\, and economics\, and then pursuing means of adapting to reduce the risks.  \nPresentation by Dr. Keith Grant \n  \n \n  \n\n\n\nDr. Keith Grant\n\n\nReference work in the library\n\n\nPrevious lectures on film\n\n\n \n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nNon-members can register for the free events through SC members. \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:Rare Preservation of a Mother Crocodilian with Eggs
DESCRIPTION:“Rare Preservation of a Mother Crocodilian with Eggs”\n  \nModern crocodilians exhibit parental care for their eggs during development\, as do modern birds. However\, given that pterosaurs (flying reptiles)\, which are more closely related to birds than crocodilians seem to have not exhibited parental care\, this calls into question whether or not more ancient crocodilians and dinosaurs had parental care or not. A remarkably well-preserved fossil adult crocodilian with eggs helps resolve some of these issues by showing this behavior of egg-guarding likely extending back about 45 million years. \nPresentation by Dr. Alex Hastings \n  \n \n  \n\n\n\nDr. Alex Hastings\n\n\nReference work in the library\n\n\nPrevious lectures on film\n\n\n \n\n\n\n  \n  \nFireside Chat Monday\, February 15 at 9 AM PST \n  \n  \n  \nNon-members can register for the free events through SC members. \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:The Rest is Silence
DESCRIPTION:Image: Wikipedia \nSilent mutations are changes in the DNA of a protein-coding gene that do not result in a change in the encoded protein.  How can silent mutations occur?  How can you detect a silent mutation?  How frequent are silent mutations relative to mutations that produce an amino acid change? Are silent mutations really silent?  This presentation will address these and other questions about silent mutations. \nA presentation by Dr. Mary Anne Clark \nMax Chatnoir \nM. A.

SUMMARY:The COVID-19 Pandemic A Year On
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 Pandemic A Year On \n  \nThe last time The Science Circle presented on the COVID-19 pandemic was back at the beginning of April when we were alarmed that the number of known cases in the world had reached 1 million. By the time of this presentation\, a conservative estimate of the number of cases worldwide will have reached 100 million\, with no end yet in sight. One bright piece of news in recent days\, however\, has been the beginning of vaccinations in some countries and the unprecedented race to create more vaccines. \n  \nPhoto: Utrecht University\nOver three Saturdays from 9 January through 23 January\, we will revisit one of the most pressing issues of our times\, now a year after the novel coronavirus was identified.\n \nOn the first Saturday (9 Jan)\, Phil Youngblood Ph.D.\, will talk with you about where we have come over the last year and perhaps what we will see in 2021\, as well as the many ways the pandemic has taken a toll on us this past year. \nOn the second Saturday (16 Jan)\, Robert A. Hendrix\, MD\, will present the medical side of the pandemic\, that is\, what we have learned about how this new virus affects the human body and how the vaccines work. \nFinally\, on the third Saturday (23 Jan)\, we will hold a “Fireside Chat” intended to address the types of issues that is of most interest to our audience about these issues. \nPresentation by Phil Youngblood \n  \n \n  \n\n\n\nDr. Phil Youngblood\n\n\nReference work in the library\n\n\nPrevious lectures on film\n\n\nPodcast\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \nNon-members can register for the free events through SC members. \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:Fireside Chat CRISPR
DESCRIPTION:While CRISPR science is fun\, a more intimate talk about the implications and ethics. I will come with my own potential topics but come with those questions burning your brain about CRISPR. Do you fear the genome editing future? Do you want to speculate on what society and biology will be like in 10\, 20\, 100 years? Is this a good thing or a bad thing?  \n  \nFireside Chat with Dr. Stephen Gasior \n \n  \n  \n\n\n\nDr. Stephen L.

SUMMARY:CRISPR 2020: Year in Review
DESCRIPTION:Figure NobelPrize.org. Using the genetic scissors\, researchers can edit the genome of practically all living things. \n  \nEvery year there are new advances in genome engineering. In this talk\, the most important and interesting news in CRISPR-based gene editing from 2020 will be presented. Come learn about Technology Advances\, New Tools\, Intellectual Property\, and Target Genes and Modified Organisms from a former published practitioner in the field. Of special note this year is the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier for their work in CRISPR. Thus\, the talk will start with a little deeper history of its discovery and invention. This year CRISPR was used for more than just gene editing\, so those will be of particular interest and discussed as well.  \nNon-members can register for the free events through SC members. \nPresentation by Dr. Stephen Gasior (Xootfly) \n \n  \n  \n\n\n\nDr. Stephen L.
