Hello again Science Fans!
Social media is chock full of cute videos of cats, dogs, and other critters doing funny things, being rescued, etc. The connections between humans and the rest of the animal kingdom are complex and not that well studied, when you consider the number of species out there.
So today, I’m starting off with a few stories that crossed my screen about those creatures with whom we share the planet.
Up first is Magawa, a mouse in Cambodia who has saved lives by sniffing out land mines. Magawa is retiring, hopefully to piles of cheese. Well deserved!
Our relationship with dogs is pretty special. While we can’t understand them directly, we can communicate. A new study says dogs are able to understand complex ideas that we take for granted, such as pointing, at a very early age.
Meanwhile, a pack of 15 elephants is wandering around China after escaping from a wildlife preserve last year, and the people of China can’t stop watching them. Elephants are, of course, equipped with a trunk, and a new study shows the biomechanics of how they use it for just abut everything. Warning, this is an in-depth research paper.
We’re all familiar with magic tricks, also known as slight-of-hand. A skilled magician can fool us into seeing things that aren’t. Not Eurasian jays!
The Western monarch butterfly population has dropped dramatically in the past few years. In an attempt to help the butterfly recover, 30,000 native milkweed plants will be planted in areas of California. This is the only plant these monarchs lay their eggs on, and the only plant their caterpillars eat.
Moving to space, the Juno probe that is circling Jupiter just flew close to Ganymede, the solar system’s largest moon. Here’s what it saw.
The Perseverence rover continues to explore Mars. But it is not alone. The Chinese rover, Zhurong, returned its first pictures. Of course, they were selfies.
How many oceans are there on Earth? Four, you say? No longer! The National Geographic Society has decided to rename the waters surrounding Antarctica as the Southern Ocean.
The vaccines approved for the fight against COVID-19 so far are nothing short of amazing. Here’s an article explaining why mRNA vaccines may just be the start of a revolution in vaccines, and some of the people behind them. But even with such a successful vaccine in use now, a different type of COVID vaccine is on the horizion with promissing benefits.
We occasionally point out the absurd, and I’ve got a couple of doozies for you this week. First, there’s Rep. Louie Gohmert (R - Texas) asking a US Forest Service official if they could change the orbits of the Earth or moon to combat climate change. To start with, the Forest Service has nothing to do with space.
Then we have the nurse in Ohio who testified before the state Legislature, claiming that COVID vaccines make us magnetic. She attempted (and failed) to prove this using a key apparently made from aluminum. Yes, aluminum, which is not magnetic under normal circumstances.
While both those stories are funny in a sad way, here’s a video that I find funny in a good way. It has nothing to with Science though. Like many of you, I’ve found myself going down the YouTube rabbit hole during the past few months. I’ve found some truly interesting travel, music theory, aviation, and construction channels. Well, interesting to me anyway. More than once I’ve come up for air after several hours of watching these things after starting with the intention of just watching one episode.
This one is cultural and is a channel created by a German native who now lives in the US. I’ve found her observations on life in the US vs. Germany to be interesting. Her linguistic abilities put many native English speakers to shame. This particular episode is about some of the things that make English so difficult to learn for non-native English speakers, told in a humorous way. But any of her vlogs are worth a watch. Just beware of the rabbit hole.
Have a great week in Science!

Structural and biophysical characterization of function and aggregation in the extremely long-lived proteins of the eye lens - Livestream - 06/14/2021 05:00 PM
California Section American Chemical Society
The crystallin proteins that make up the refractive medium of the vertebrate eye lens must remain soluble and stable for a lifetime. These proteins maintain their short-range order without strong intermolecular interactions even at concentrations above 400 mg/mL in humans and closer to 1000 mg/mL in fish. Structural and biophysical studies in professor Martin’s group seek to discover how the crystallin function in the healthy lens and what happens when they aggregate, causing cataract disease. Professor Martin’s group has solved NMR and crystal structures for the structural lens protein human γS-crystallin and several aggregation-prone variants, including some associated with hereditary cataract and others that mimic age-related damage. Professor Martin will also discuss the development of new NMR instrumentation and methodology to investigate the transparent hydrogel state of concentrated crystallin proteins, which is difficult to study using standard techniques for either solid-state or solution NMR. The presentation will be followed by Q & A.

Venus today is supremely uninhabitable. Yet it may have been the first planet in our solar system with conditions suitable for life! Just as we can learn about the evolution of civilization from archeological sites, Venus - our twin planet - has deep lessons for what makes our home planet unique. Its geology today may resemble Earth’s billions of years ago, when processes evolved that shaped Earth into a living world.

AIOps for Intelligent Cloud Operations - 06/15/2021 11:50 AM
Magnimind Academy
Production computing infrastructures, particularly multi-tenant cloud infrastructures, have become increasingly complex and require constant monitoring and maintenance. Cloud service providers are faced with the challenge of both high operation cost and daunting service downtime penalty. Existing monitoring tools continuously collect a large amount of metric and log data but still fail to answer the key operation questions about when and why a cloud infrastructure experiences a problem. In this talk, I will present a set of automatic system anomaly prediction and diagnosis techniques using unsupervised online learning methods. Our techniques can raise advance alerts before an anomaly affects the system and provide important clues on why an anomaly occurs. Furthermore, we can extract causal relationships among a large number of system components and anomalous events to facilitate automatic root cause analysis. We have tested our techniques more than hundreds of real system failures on more than a dozen production system. Our results show that we can increase anomaly detection coverage by 50% and reduce the false alarm rates by more than 95% and reduce the root cause analysis time from days to minutes.

Mother Trees and the Social Forest - Livestream - 06/15/2021 05:00 PM
Long Now Foundation
Forest Ecologist Suzanne Simard reveals that trees are part of a complex, interdependent circle of life; that forests are social, cooperative creatures connected through underground mycorrhizal networks by which trees communicate their vitality and vulnerabilities, and share and exchange resources and support.
Simard's extraordinary research and tenacious efforts to raise awareness on the interconnectedness of forest systems, both above and below ground, has revolutionized our understanding of forest ecology. This increasing knowledge is driving a call for more sustainable practices in forestry and land management, ones that develop strategies based on the forest as a whole entity, not on trees as isolated individuals.

Matrix multiplication is one of the most basic linear algebraic operations outside elementary arithmetic. The study of matrix multiplication algorithms is very well motivated from practice, as the applications are plentiful. Matrix multiplication is also of great mathematical interest. Since Strassen's discovery in 1969 that n-by-n matrices can be multiplied asymptotically much faster than the brute-force O(n3) time algorithm, many fascinating techniques have been developed, incorporating ideas from computer science, combinatorics, and algebraic geometry.
The fastest algorithms over the last three decades have used Strassen's "laser method" and its optimization by Coppersmith and Winograd. The method has remained unchanged; the algorithms have differed in what the method was applied to. In recent work, joint with Josh Alman, we improve the method so that applying it to the same objects that the old method was applied to immediately yields faster algorithms. Using this new method, we obtain the theoretically fastest algorithm for matrix multiplication to date, with running time O(n2.37286).
This talk will give an overview of the main techniques and will also outline our recent improvement of the laser method.
Breakthroughs is a lecture series highlighting major new developments in theoretical computer science and is geared toward a scientific audience.

Rovers, Helicopters, and Ancient Martians: Why We Explore Mars - 06/16/2021 01:00 PM
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute Dominican Univ.
With three countries sending missions to Mars in 2021, including the first Mars helicopter, there is new interest in the red planet. What do we know, and what do we hope to learn, about this alien world next-door?In this free, on-line program, Andrew Fraknoi will discuss the discoveries that revealed ancient Mars as a world much like the Earth, with lakes, rivers, and possibly the stirrings of life. Although Mars today is very different, since the small planet lost much of its atmosphere, we nevertheless hope to find evidence of past life - and a second genesis - on its sandy surface. Using beautiful color images from the latest space probes, Fraknoi will show us the beauty of Mars and how new probes are exploring it. No background in science is required.
Speaker: Andrew Fraknoi retired in 2017 as the Chair of the Astronomy Department at Foothill College, and now teaches non-credit astronomy courses for older adults at the OLLI program at SF State and The Fromm Institute at the University of San Francisco.

Plants, Bugs, and Molecules - An Introduction to the Chemistry of Insect-Plant Interactions - Livestream - 06/17/2021 01:00 PM
UC Botanical Garden
How do plants attract insects or keep them away? What composes the colors of insects or of plants, or how do insects communicate with each other?
Specific organic compounds determine whether insects are keen on feeding on plants or avoid them altogether. Some insects have learned to use plant compounds as their own defenses, and some plants use insects as nutritional supplements. Plant-insect interactions vitally affect our food supply, as in pollination of orchards or detrimentally in insect infestations of crops. Another important aspect of human uses of insects feeding on specific plants is silk production.

Join us for a session dedicated to the unique wildlife and ecosystems of Australia. Tune in for stories about platypuses, flying-foxes, koalas, and wombats, and how these populations are faring while facing climate change, wildfires, and urban development. Also: Find out how wombats produce cube-shaped poop.
Wildlife photographer Doug Gimesy doesn’t have to travel far from home to find interesting conservation stories - it helps that his home is in southeastern Australia. He’ll talk about two of the fascinating animals that he’s covered close to his hometown of Melbourne - flying-foxes and platypuses. Australia’s iconic koalas aren’t doing well. Dr. Christine Hosking, Conservation Planner at the University of Queensland, talks about the population’s plummeting numbers and the country’s recent bushfires, drought, and increased urban development that threaten them, and what conservation models are needed to avoid the species’ extinction. To mark their territory, wombats build cairns with their cube-shaped poop. But how can their soft intestines make cubes in the first place? Dr. David Hu is an expert in the biomechanics of animal locomotion, and his lab at Georgia Tech recently won an Ig Nobel prize in physics for their work explaining just how it works - and how it might be applicable to the wider world.

Power for Astronomy Away from Home - Livestream - 06/18/2021 07:30 PM
Tri-Valley Stargazers
Traveling to a secluded dark site gives us access to skies that we can only dream about at home. In addition to having to pack up and transport all of our equipment, we have to have a plan to provide the power needed to operate our mounts, cameras, computers, etc. in places where the convenience of a nearby AC outlet is nonexistent. The humble lead acid battery has served to supply power away from home for decades. In this presentation, we will answer the three most important questions required when planning for power away from home: 1) How Much Power Do I Need?; 2) What are My Power Supply Options?; 3) How Do I Connect Everything? We will discuss the latest trends in battery technology using lithium chemistries. And we will examine another trend using a centralized power distribution hub to manage and simplify power distribution to all of our equipment.

Climate change is very real. In 2020, the United State alone faced 22 climate-driven disasters that each caused more than $1 billion in damages. California saw its worst fire season in modern history. The arctic experienced an unprecedented low in total sea ice. And the year capped off the hottest decade on record. Unless the world acts in unison, this new normal will continue to exacerbate, causing incalculable economic and societal ramifications. What hope do we have? Kick off Ideas + Action 2021 with a call to action on climate change with one of the originators of environmental justice about what we can do to create a sustainable and equitable future for future generations.
