SUMMARY:Thanksgiving Debate Forum: Free Speech
DESCRIPTION:Tired of heated arguments around the dinner table? Getting bored of the blowhards on TV and social media? Wondering why everyone is yelling and/or crying about the state of everything? Then this is the event for you.  \nA debate in the Oxford Union style on the matter of free speech in the US versus EU.  \nThe Chamber proposes the US should adopt a more regulated free speech regimen akin to the UK or Germany for misinformation or destructive topics.  \nTagline for the proposition versus Gus Plisskin in opposition \nThis will be a rational and measured debate to highlight the pros and cons of each side of the argument. Put away the (figurative) debate brass knuckles and the acrimony to participate in reasoned and civil discourse. Lincoln and Douglas would be proud. \nModerated by Stephen Xootfly   \n

SUMMARY:SC Field Trip: Virtual Worlds Education Consortium
DESCRIPTION:VW Education Consortium (VWEC) was founded in January 2021 as a way bring educators together both to share successes and to tackle obstacles across virtual platforms and communities.\n\nWhen Linden Labs wanted to establish an educational region in Second Life\, the VWEC became a central hub for this effort. The Science Circle and tens of other organizations are now part of this greater educational community. You will find a link to us and a partial list of other members at https://www.vweconsortium.org/communities/ \n\nJoin us for this field trip to the hub of education in Second Life. We will gather at the Science Circle auditorium at 10am SLT on Saturday before proceeding to VWEC island at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/VWEC%20Eduverse/219/105/45\n

SUMMARY:SC Field Trip: Scientia
DESCRIPTION:Our field trip this week is to Scientia\, our nearest neighbor in Second Life.   \nScientia is the new name for Virtech\, the virtual presence of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech).   \nWe will arrive at the Scientia Central Plaza to begin our field trip: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Scientia/128/128/31 \nFrom the region’s website at https://virtual.caltech.edu/virtech \nScientia “is an experimental platform for online education\, operated by the Virtual Reality Lab\, which is a part of the Center for Data-Driven Discovery at Caltech.  It was designed to furnish the Caltech community with an alternative to in-person interactions during the pandemic. Through the use of avatars\, participants can visit a rich virtual space furnished to enable engaging experience as well as seamless social interaction. It is open to all members of the Caltech community and their approved guests\, as well as the members of other academic communities by a special arrangement.” \nFrom https://virtual.caltech.edu/virtech/virtech-and-second-life \n“Caltech uses Scientia to experiment with various combined technologies for online learning\, and virtual teaching labs in particular. A general consensus is that using  virtual worlds for education can lead to better learning outcomes\, as the students find the lectures and demonstrations more engaging and more memorable than those delivered through a standard video (e.g.\, YouTube) or conferencing (e.g.\, Zoom) platforms. VWs also provide a channel for the human interaction component of the learning process (both student to student and student to instructor) that is clearly superior to other online mechanisms such as the discussion threads\, social media posts\, or video conferencing\, and that is their major strength. While such interactions are obviously not as good as those in the physical reality\, they can be pretty close\, once the participants get used to the platform and identify with their avatars.”

SUMMARY:SC Field Trip: Chemistry World
DESCRIPTION:Explore the region south of Science Circle with Mike Shaw. Chemistry World is contiguous with Science Circle at its southern border. It is a working educational region\, serving about 160 engineering college students in freshman Chemistry labs annually. Originally designed by faculty at Texas A&M and Florida Tech\, the region now boasts a total of 4 Chemistry Lab activities\, conference areas suitable for peer-led Team Learning\,  an environmental recreation of the Tantramar Marsh\, and many fun Chemistry Easter eggs. \nhttps://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Chemistry%20World/183/48/26 \n

SUMMARY:Playing God: How Selenium Nanoparticles Change Plants\, Heal People and Protect Nature
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Anton  Shiriaev Ph.D.  \nAround one billion people on Earth lack Selenium (Se) in their diet. In severe cases\, Se deficiency causes diseases and disorders in humans. Se is not essential for plants\, however\, they metabolize toxic Se forms from the soil into bioavailable organic molecules. Consuming fruit and vegetables enriched with Se is one of the ways to overcome or prevent dietary deficit. \nWe engineered three strategies allowing enriching tomato fruit with Se: plant foliar spraying\, vacuum infiltration and passive immersion. Additionally to traditional methods\, we introduced the application of Se nanoparticles\, produced chemically or created by tiny microbes (Stenotrophomonas maltophilia). We discovered that Se\, besides elevating the nutritional value of tomatoes\, triggers molecular machinery resulting in better fruit quality\, and potentially prolonged shelf-life. \nCome to explore with us \nWhy Selenium used to be called an “essential poison”? \nWhat does Selenium have in common with cuckoo birds? \nWhy to design better tomatoes\, our research group have dared to play God three times? \n​
