SUMMARY:BB: The Metaverse
DESCRIPTION:Interest in the metaverse is high\, especially after the VWBPE conference that recently concluded in Second Life. It is of particular interest to SL residents who believe we live in a prototype of the metaverse. There are various embodiments that can express the metaverse\, such as virtual world platforms\, virtual reality\, augmented reality and so forth. Powerful Tech and business interests are involved in creating the metaverse\, including Mark Zuckerberg\, crypto ideologues\, universities\, and financial institutions.   \nJoin us at the Science Circle to explore the promise\, the perils\, the technology\, the obstacles\, and the implications of the metaverse.

SUMMARY:Recap of the 2023 VWBPE  conference on Second Life
DESCRIPTION:Presenters: Dr. William Schmachtenberg (Dae Miami SL) and Linda Morris Kelley\, BA (Delia Lake SL) \nFrom March 23 to 25\, 2023\, The VWBPE (Virtual Worlds Best Practice in Education) conference on Second Life was held. This is the largest online free conference for educators ever held. I have been going to these conferences for many years\, but come to my talk to find out why Dae thought this was the best VWBPE conference ever held! The metaverse was the dominant theme of the conference\, and our own Delia Lake gave a tour of wetlands during the conference. The networking with technicians as well as educators was very useful in planning a science project involving a virtual field trip to the Jurassic simulation that I am doing with the staff on Dinosaur Ridge in Colorado.

SUMMARY:The Sociology of Working Together
DESCRIPTION:The Sociology of Working Together\nBy: Phil Youngblood\, PhD \n  \nThis year we are celebrating the 15th anniversary of The Science Circle by working together online on a large\, complex\, project to demonstrate the multiple strengths of our group. \nWorking well with others can be challenging. In this presentation I will examine three factors that affect the outcome of teamwork – managing projects\, developing teams\, and individual characteristics. I will also consider whether working together in the same physical space or working online makes a difference. \n  \nProject Management \n—How did theories of modern project management come about and how did they evolve? \n—How does the end goal of different types of projects affect the process of managing? \n—What activities are conducted during different phases of the project lifecycle? \n—How does our Science Circle Project Moon Base differ from traditional projects? \nTeam Development \n—How did team development theories develop as an instance of studying group dynamics? \n—What can team members generally expect to observe as their teams develop? \n—What is the role of community in team development? \n—How can team members help to move a team towards working well together? \nIndividual Characteristics \n—Perceptions of supervisor-worker relationships. \n—Matching leadership and followership styles. \n—How might demographics influence communication? \nWorking Together Online \n—What are the differences between school\, an internship\, and a work environment. \n—What lessons did employers learn about remote work during the pandemic? \n—How is work conducted in a mediated communications environment? \n  \nFor those interested in the theories behind the presentation:\nProject Management: I will integrate project management models empirically developed over the last 75 years or so from analyzing successes and failures.\nTeam Development: I will primarily refer to Tuckman’s stages of team development devised in 1965 and continually refined since then.\nIndividual Characteristics: I will summarize conclusions from my own research of virtual internships\, combined with Hofstede’s study of cultural dimensions in the late 1960s.\nWorking Online: I will use conclusions from my own work\, from studies during the pandemic\, and testimony from experts I know. \n  \nCome join us\, both to learn as well as to share your experiences and thoughts about the topic!

SUMMARY:Modes of Thinking
DESCRIPTION:Famed Autistic Temple Grandin has a new book out in which she describes how she thinks in images rather than words. Recently\, it has become known that some people have a running internal linguistic monologue in their head and others do not. Synesthesia is the experience “seeing” a color associated with hearing a sound. How do deaf people think? Join us in an exploration of how thinking works\, how it is subjectively experienced\, and what that experience might mean. \nCome prepared to share your own experiences in a wide ranging casual conversation.

SUMMARY:Space Conference
DESCRIPTION:Space Conference\nIn March this year\, I had the pleasure of attending the International Space Convention (ISC)\, which featured discussions involving over 160 esteemed speakers in the space industry on some of the biggest topics in the field. During the discussions I picked up valuable insights on developments such as edge computing\, space training\, and orbital habitats. In the spirit that drives the science circle’s moon-base endeavour I hope to share some of these insights and tell you why the future of the space industry excites me. \n  \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:The Benefits of Getting Back to Nature
DESCRIPTION:This is a presentation on the psychology of the aging mind by Phil Youngblood\n\nI would like Science Circle members to be aware of the Healthy Aging Through Lifelong Learning Conference that runs from May 15-May 21\, 2023 in Second Life (https://www.agelessmindproject.org/events/) and is sponsored by Whole Brain Health\, one of our long-standing neighbors associated with the Virtual Worlds Education Consortium (VWEC). \nFrom 10-11am SLT on 20 May\, I will presenting on “The Benefits of Getting Back to Nature” at this conference. Here is a description of my event:\n“Numerous studies have shown an association between exposure to or interaction with urban\, rural\, and virtual natural environments and positive effects on mental and physical health in children and adults of all demographics. I will share my own experiences and then lead a facilitated discussion on our shared lived experiences with this topic. Participants will have access to an annotated bibliography of 20 articles and studies.” \nDo you have a relationship with nature? Have you always had? Or did you get ‘back to nature’ recently or would like to do so when you get the chance? You are invited to share your experiences and ideas at this forum. \nRelated article: A Texas Nature Ranger \n\nNOTE: Please join me at “Inspiration Bay” this day instead of in the SC amphitheater where we usually meet.

SUMMARY:Bugs and Babies: Endosymbiotic Embryogenesis in Carpenter Ants
DESCRIPTION:Bugs and Babies:  Endosymbiotic Embryogenesis in Carpenter Ants\nEndosymbiosis is deeply embedded (pun intended) in the history of life on earth\, from the origin of eukaryotic cells to light-producing organs in squid.  This is the story of how some bacteria inserted themselves into the developmental pathway of carpenter ants to wind up both in the gut\, where they help with digestion\, and in the gametes\, where they ensure their transmission to the next generation. \nBy Dr. Mary Anne Clark
