SUMMARY:Information Revolution! The First 50 Years of the Internet
DESCRIPTION:Information Revolution! The First 50 Years of the Internet\n  \nBy: Phil Youngblood\, PhD \nWith the exception of the printing press\, the way information was shared and stored two hundred years ago had not changed much over the preceding two thousand years. Then a series of discoveries and electrical inventions helped to connect businesses and individuals in new ways and enabled some to broadcast messages to anyone able to pick up their transmissions. \nStill\, even within my lifetime\, with the exception of television broadcasts\, information sharing was largely local or delayed or restrained to printed sources like it had been for hundreds of years. When I was born\, there were no practical computers at all\, let alone a computer that an individual could own. Even if there were\, there was no way to connect them because there was no Internet\, in fact no computer networks at all. \nAbout 50 years ago (60 years\, if you count the origins)\, all that began to change with the development of rules about how electricity could represent language and abstract objects\, paired with the invention of transistors and their micro-miniaturization\, advancements in transmission media and connectivity protocols\, and the concept that connecting people around the world was too big of an idea to be possessed by any one nation or company. \n  \nCome learn about the first 50 years of the Internet\, how it began as an idea\, how it was realized\, who owns it\, who controls the technology\, and the applications that we use to connect us to the world in both constructive and destructive ways that could never have been imagined decades ago. \nA presentation by Dr. Phil Youngblood \n  \n \n\n\n\nDr. Phil Youngblood\n\n\nPrevious lectures on film\n\n\nPodcast\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:Combating Negative Thinking
DESCRIPTION:COMBATING NEGATIVE THINKING\nThe human brain seems to favor negative experiences\, memories\, and thought over positive ones\, why? Is this an evolutionary lesson or a societal one? How do we balance negative thoughts with positive ones? Do you have any advice on those who may struggle with it? \n  \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:Virtual Institutions from the Perspectives of a Geographer and Biologist
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Institutions from the Perspectives of a Geographer and Biologist\nPeople tend to think of geography at any given time as little more than static points\, lines\, and areas on a map. Geography involves understanding the spatial processes that define the map\, including the flow and flux of people and ideas against the backdrop of space and time.  The concept of diffusion helps to inform the evolution of a map’s human geography. \nThoughts on biology\, in light of evolutionary theory\, would tend to run opposite as organisms in constant flux. However\, within biology\, species tend to adapt to a particular place over long spans of time to be able to adapt specifically and branch out from ancestors.  The concept of diffusion also guides the biologist’s understanding of the formation of new species. \nWe propose to use our disciplinary understandings of diffusion to demonstrate how conceptual collaboration is possible within Science Circle.   Our goal is to contextualize and to validate groups like the Science Circle in today’s 3-D online settings and globalizing world through the use of a simple concept like diffusion; and\, in so doing\, to contemplate the meaning of a physical-world concept such as diffusion to a virtual-world setting. We build on this goal by asking broader questions like what are the advantages of a virtual-world Science Circle over a similar actual-world organization? How is Science Circle a model for the future?   We tackle these questions as the Science Circle achieves its 15th year of illuminating minds (not facelights) within Second Life.  And\, we will guide an open-ended discussion in which everyone may participate. \n  \nA joint presentation & discussion by Stephen L. Gasior\, Ph.D. and Merrill Johnson\, Ph.D.

SUMMARY:Re-purposing Human Talent
DESCRIPTION:Re-purposing Human Talent\nAI art and chatGPT may be another example of humans losing business/work to a machine…. OR IS IT?\nToday we’ll be discussing ways in which we can coexist with these applications. How can we re-purpose our talents with work in tandem with AI? \n  \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:Darwin Day\, Heroes of Evolution: Svante Pääbo
DESCRIPTION:Darwin Day\nHeroes of Evolution: Svante Pääbo\n  \n \nBy Dr. Stephen L. Gasior \nAbstract: Much of science is about pushing the boundaries of technology to build the future. However\, in some cases the frontiers of technical achievement are used to unlock the secrets of the past. In the area of paleobiology\, no one exemplifies this more than Svante Pääbo. Pääbo is a Swedish molecular biologist who developed DNA analytical techniques to sequence ancient DNA. He was able to illuminate the genomes of extinct species like the mammoth\, sloth\, and ancient human cousins the Neanderthals. Along the way\, he discovered a new species of hominin\, the Denisovans. The greatest surprise was that signatures of Neanderthal and Denisovan genes are found in humans. Understanding the genetic history\, comparative genomics\, and evolutionary impact of humans along with their extinct cousins has led to several interesting conclusions about genes that impact the human condition and health. For this reason\, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2022 for his work. This talk gives an overview of Svante Pääbo’s career and impact in paleobiology.  \n  \nSvante PääboMax Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology\n\n \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Mathematics Club & Moon Base
DESCRIPTION:In honor and celebration of Science Circle’s 15th Anniversary\, we present two new projects for your edification and delight.  \nFrom 10:00 – 10:30 AM\, Robert Hendrix (Tagline Resident) will discuss the THE MATHEMATICS CLUB\, a project that offers ‘a regular meeting of the curious.’  Tag will present the who\, what\, where\, and why of this new Club and encourage us all to participate. He promises discovery more than instruction and exploration more than lectures. \nFrom 10:30 – 11:00 AM\, Natalie Foster (Sumo Itano) will offer a brief description of PROJECT MOON BASE: what is it\, why is it\, and what do we hope it will be. Think of this as a preview – just like at the movies! — of the 10 AM presentation on 04 March that will include brief talks from nine SC members.  Several of us have been thinking about this opportunity and want to open the discussion and participation to all members and share our enthusiasm.

SUMMARY:An Astrophysical and Geological Analysis of the Middlesboro\, Kentucky\, USA Asteroid Crater
DESCRIPTION:An Astrophysical and Geological Analysis of the Middlesboro\, Kentucky\, USA Asteroid Crater\nThe town of Middlesboro\, Kentucky\, USA is located within an Asteroid Crater that formed sometime in the last 300 Million years ago. I visited the crater to collect samples and take pictures of the rock outcrops within the crater during the Spring of 2022. Based on the diameter of the crater (3.67 miles)\, Dr. George Djorgovski at Caltech (CuriousGeorge on SL) estimated that the size of an asteroid with density of 3 g/mL may have been 0.5 miles in diameter. A geological study of asteroids that have struck Kentucky suggests that the density may have been about 6 g/mL and that a size of 0.25 may be more accurate. This study has implications for studying not only craters on the surface of the Earth\, but also for doing mining on asteroid terrains in a future Mars colony. \nBy Dr. William Schmachtenberg – Dae Miami \n  \n  \n \n\n\n\nDr. William Schmachtenberg\n\n\nPrevious lectures on film\n\n\n \n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.
