SUMMARY:Field trip 3: New Locations
DESCRIPTION:An extraordinary virtual field trip hosted by The Science Circle\, where we’ll journey through a series of captivating locations and exhibits that blend science\, culture\, and innovation! \n \nToday\, we’ll visit the newly established New Mathematics Club\, the picturesque Lijiang River with its diverse exhibits\, and explore topics ranging from evolutionary biology to cutting-edge engineering and global health challenges. This immersive experience in Second Life promises to spark curiosity and deepen our understanding of the world through interactive and thought-provoking displays.\n \n\nOur adventure begins with Robert A. Hendrix\, MD\, at the New Mathematics Club\, a dynamic hub for exploring the beauty and power of numbers\, as highlighted on The Science Circle’s website. Tagline’s giving a 30 minute presentation about AI in the Maths Dojo: The PERCEPTRON\, the SIMPLEST NEURAL NETWORK and HOW TO TRAIN IT using a database and reiterative correction of error. IT’S ALL A MATTER of LINEAR ALGEBRA and computational mathematics & algorithms! So do come & hear!\n\n \nThe Maths & Psychology exhibit\, created by Deepthinker—author of The Science Circle’s monthly Hypothesis Blog—features interactive displays such as Let’s Make a Deal\, The Black Swan\, The Science of Farming\, Neutrinos and Why the Earth is No Longer Flat\, and How I Learned Math\, with insights from five Science Circle scientists. These exhibits reveal how mathematics shapes our understanding of human behavior and the world around us. \n \nNext\, the Population Genetics Simulator (PGS)\, crafted by Stephen Gasior\, brings to life the classic study of natural selection in the Peppered Moth (Biston betularia)\, studied by Bernard Kettlewell\, demonstrating how environmental changes drive evolutionary shifts in color and survival within the unique Second Life platform.\n \nThe Turbofan exhibit\, created by Karthik Prathaban\, dives Perspective: Modern commercial aircraft engines are engineering marvels\, and turbofans are no exception. These powerful and fuel-efficient systems can propel a plane like the A350\, with a 280\,000 kg maximum take-off weight\, for over 20 hours non-stop. Their brilliance lies in a clever sequence of energy conversions\, with the bypass ratio enhancing efficiency by adding a fan that minimally alters fuel flow in the core while significantly boosting thrust. \n \nFinally\, the Effects of COVID Around the World exhibit\, created by Phil Youngblood\, offers a poignant exploration of the pandemic’s global impact\, connecting science\, society\, and resilience.\n \nGuided by these expert creators and brought to life in Second Life\, this field trip combines rigorous science with engaging storytelling. Join us as we navigate these diverse exhibits\, each offering a unique perspective on our world’s past\, present\, and future. \n \nLet’s dive into this journey of discovery at the New Mathematics Club and the Lijiang River!\n\n \n\n

SUMMARY:Science Fair
DESCRIPTION:Welcome\, everyone\, to The Science Circle’s spectacular Science Fair\, the grand closing event of our January–June 2025 season! \n \nHeld in the immersive world of Second Life\, this vibrant celebration showcases the innovative spirit of our scientific community. Today\, we’re thrilled to feature new exhibits and features presented by our esteemed SC scientists: Lynne Berrett\, Christine Gibson\, Karthik Prathaban\, Stephen Gasior\, Mike Shaw\, and Sandrajean Peruginilibby.\n \nPlus\, we’ll announce the winner of our Moon Base Name Contest\, with a fantastic 5\,000L$ prize for the most creative entry! \n \nWhile this marks the end of our current season\, it’s not goodbye! Our activities continue with exciting events before the new season kicks off in September. Join Stephen Gasior for a captivating Nobel Prizes documentary series every Saturday\, at 6 AM PDT\, exploring the stories behind groundbreaking scientific achievements. \n \nAdditionally\, Stephen Gasior\, alongside Lynne Berrett from Whole Brain Health and Professor Valerie Hill\, will host a thought-provoking series\, “Engagement Clinic\,” designed to sharpen our critical thinking skills.\n \nThe Moon Base Project will also continue to thrive\, with weekly sessions every Monday at 10 AM PDT\, building the future of lunar exploration.\n \nGet ready for a day of discovery\, inspiration\, and celebration as we wrap up this season and look forward to what’s next. Let’s dive into the Science Fair and explore the wonders of science together!

SUMMARY:Biology 3.0 is coming\, discussion series
DESCRIPTION:The study and “engineering” of biology began with our ability to recognized the characteristics of plants and animals and manipulate them as a whole\, i.e. animal and plant breeding\, yeast culturing for food production. We could also identify helpful drugs that worked to cure disease without exactly knowing why or their targets.\n \nBiology 2.0 came along when we learned how to manipulate DNA and introduce it into new cells. We also developed the gene concept and could sequence them one at a time. We could also knock out genes though very laboriously. Computers began to be repositories of our blueprints and we could computers could helps us understand the structure of proteins. \n \nBiology 3.0 is the phase of our understanding and manipulation in which we have large genomic datasets\, accurate protein structure prediction\, AI-guided design or summation\, precise targeting of genes for specific changes\, and enhanced delivery systems. This discussion series will view and discuss major recent Nobel Prize lectures on the foundations of Biology 3.0. And a series of TED talks on personalized medicine. \n \nYour guide on this journey is scientist and educator Stephen Gasior who has professionally been involved in using these technologies (but not the medicine part).

SUMMARY:Biology 3.0 is coming\, discussion series
DESCRIPTION:The study and “engineering” of biology began with our ability to recognized the characteristics of plants and animals and manipulate them as a whole\, i.e. animal and plant breeding\, yeast culturing for food production. We could also identify helpful drugs that worked to cure disease without exactly knowing why or their targets.\n \nBiology 2.0 came along when we learned how to manipulate DNA and introduce it into new cells. We also developed the gene concept and could sequence them one at a time. We could also knock out genes though very laboriously. Computers began to be repositories of our blueprints and we could computers could helps us understand the structure of proteins. \n \nBiology 3.0 is the phase of our understanding and manipulation in which we have large genomic datasets\, accurate protein structure prediction\, AI-guided design or summation\, precise targeting of genes for specific changes\, and enhanced delivery systems. This discussion series will view and discuss major recent Nobel Prize lectures on the foundations of Biology 3.0. And a series of TED talks on personalized medicine. \n \nYour guide on this journey is scientist and educator Stephen Gasior who has professionally been involved in using these technologies (but not the medicine part).
