Hello again Science Fans!
Before I moved to the Bay Area, I lived in South Florida. As they do everywhere, people there talked about the weather and how it was always too hot, too cold, too wet, or too dry, but never “normal”. While a sample of one doesn’t prove anything, our weather lately certainly hasn’t been “normal” what with a record-breaking heat wave, followed by an earlier-than-usual winter storm, followed by more heat.
One of the biggest influences on our local weather is fog. But even that seems to be changing, and the fallout could be substantial. This New York Times article takes an in-depth look at our coastal fog, including some nice animations.
I recently wrote about discoveries around the world that have reappeared as rivers and lake levels have dropped in response to drought. Here’s a map showing some of the discoveries.
Procyon lotors, better known as racoons, are crafty, intelligent critters. In my early teens, my family spent a week or two each summer fishing in Ontario, Canada. There was a large board nailed between two trees that was used for cleaning your daily fish catch. One particular fish we caught had a hook stuck in its head in such a way that my father could not get it out. We disposed of the head, and other fish refuse, in a metal garbage can with a tight fitting lid, that was inside a wooden crate that had a latched wooden top, and had a boulder on top of it, all meant to disuade the raccoons. That evening we heard a crash, looked outside, and saw a raccoon that had gotten past all the safeguards to remove the fish remains from the trash. Of course, the raccoon ignored all the efforts we made to chase it away and continued to eat. We worried about it getting hurt by the hook.
The next morning we went out to look at the results. The only part of the head remaining was the bone structure. Way over on the far corner of the board, out of the way, was the fish hook. Scientists at UC Berkeley have been studying raccoons to determine just how smart they are.
But raccoons aren’t the only animals adept at side stepping our attempts to keep them out. Consider sulfur-crested cockatoos in Australia!
Then there are ants. The past few weeks have shown the ant population close to my house to attempting to move indoors. All my neighbors are complaining about them getting into everything. I suspect the extreme heat forced them inside. Have you ever thought about just how many ants exist on the planet? A new study provides an estimate, and it is a LOT!
One of the very first lectures I attended at the USGS Western Region Headquarters years ago was on the topic of salt pond restoration in San Francisco Bay. I was struck by the complexity of the ecology, and how concerned the numerous agencies involved were with unintended consequences of their attempts to restore the wetlands to their original state. Here’s a progress report, and it contains very good news.
Let’s talk about the James Webb Space Telescope. In addition to looking deep into space, the JWST has also looked at our sister planets, with spectacular images of Mars, Jupiter, and Neptune released in the past month. The Mars images were problematic in that JSWT is designed to look at very faint objects a long way from here. The sensitivity of the cameras is such that focusing on something close runs the risk of being over-exposed. Still, the images are wonderfully detailed. The image of Neptune showed the planet’s rings, the first time we’ve seen them in over 30 years. Included was the imaging of a faint ring previously not seen and closer to the planet. Also visible in the images are half of 14 Neptune’s moons.
Meanwhile, there may be a problem with one of JWST’s instruments. There may also be issues with the models currently in use to interpret the data the JWST sends back to us.
This past Friday, Dr. Alex Filippenko gave a talk on the first results from the JWST as part of UC Berkeley’s homecoming weekend. In case you missed it, the talk was recorded and is available for viewing here. Alex has been voted Best Professor at UC Berkeley a record nine times, and this lecture shows why. He can take a complex subject and make it easily understandable, even when he’s been awake for 31 hours! This lecture is well worth an hour of your time.
The Perseverance Rover has collected some rock samples from Mars in an ancient river delta where life may have thrived. Now all we have to do is wait 20 or 30 years to get them back!
All this space exploration begs the question “Are we alone?” We may know the answer to that in the next few decades!
Tomorrow, the DART mission will test if it possible to alter the trajectory of an asteroid, thereby preventing it from striking Earth. NASA will crash a rocket into asteroid Didymos B. You can watch and listen to several talks about the mission on NASA Live, as well as YouTube and Facebook. The coverage begins at 3:00 PDT and impact is expected at 4:14 PM.
You’ve probably never heard of Igor Klymenko. He’s 17 years old and was living with his family in the suburbs of Kiev when the Russian military invaded seven months ago yesterday. During his time sheltering from the war in the basement of a home, he invented a Quadcopter Mine Detector! He has since received the Chegg.org Global Student Prize ($100,000!) and is now studying at the University of Alberta, Canada while continuing to refine his invention. What an inspiration!
My Ukrainian friend and her daughter are still living in Zaporizhzhia, which has been under increased shelling and bombing in the past month. Things at the nearby nuclear plant seem to have calmed down a bit, but not the explosions heard daily in the city itself. I’m very concerned for her safety.
The mystery of superconductivity in high temperature cuprate crystals appears to have been solved after 35 years of research. I don’t know about you, but I find it hard to comprehend working on the same scientific mystery for that long a period of time!
In addition to the DART coverage, here are my recommendations for this week:

Probes of galaxy interactions: from the Magellanic Stream to lensed supernovae - 09/26/2022 11:00 AM
Varian Physics Building Stanford
We have been working on a variety of projects, which are generally connected by trying to understand the distributions of dark matter. First, we used hydrodynamic simulations of the Magellanic Stream to estimate the mass of the MW potential. The simulated streams are sensitive to the MW potential because the potential determines the orbits of the satellites. The orbits determine the strength of the tidal interactions and ram pressure stripping in the simulations that cause stream formation. We estimated the total mass of the potential by matching the simulated stream lengths to the observations across simulations with different MW potentials. Currently, we are working on combining local acceleration measurements with constraints from stellar streams to model the MW potential. There are now local direct acceleration measurements from binary pulsar systems, which can calibrate potential models while fitting to dynamical probes of the potential. Now I am focused on using gravitationally lensed supernovae to measure accurate time delays in strong lensing systems. We run simulations of lensed supernovae in systems with gravitational microlensing, preparing to avoid contamination from microlensing in these systems. We model the magnification patterns caused by microlensing and convolve them with supernova models to simulate spectra from microlensing systems. This produces spectra with different microlensing realizations, allowing us to study the effects of microlensing on the spectra. Accurate time delay measurements can put a strong constraint on the Hubble constant and to search for dark matter substructure along the line of sight.

DART: Can We Change an Asteroid's Course and Save Planet Earth? - 09/26/2022 02:30 PM
SETI Institute
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART, is the world's first full-scale planetary defense test, demonstrating one method of asteroid deflection technology. True to its name, DART is a focused mission to prove whether a spacecraft can autonomously navigate to a target asteroid, intentionally collide with it and protect Earth from a potential asteroid impact.
The mission target, which poses no threat to Earth, is the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos (Greek for "two forms"), which orbits a larger asteroid named Didymos (Greek for "twin").
Join SETI Institute Senior Astronomer Franck Marchis and Beth Johnson for a special SETI Talks with scientists involved in the mission or planetary defense at large. We will follow the spacecraft as it approaches its target, learn about the navigation system from JPL and APL engineers and scientists, see how astronomers around the world will watch the impact using other facilities and discuss why it matters. Finally, we will collaborate with Unistellar citizen astronomers live from Reunion Island to watch the impact and see if any aftermath is detected.

Opportunities and Incentives to Enhance California's Groundwater Supplies and Improve Water Quality - 09/27/2022 03:30 PM
Natural Science Annex Santa Cruz
Managed recharge is increasingly applied to enhance groundwater supplies and also offers opportunities to improve groundwater quality. Key considerations include the nature of water sources, the composition of soils, the potential presence of legacy contaminants, and biogeochemical processes that can reduce contaminant loads during infiltration. This presentation will summarize California's need to augment groundwater resources, and show results from recent field, laboratory, and modeling studies that show how and where improvements can be achieved. This work is being done in the context of a regional program to incentivize resource enhancement through net metering of groundwater pumping.

Wonderfest: The Mathematics of Language - Rescheduled - 09/27/2022 07:00 PM
Hopmonk Tavern Novato
If your native language (Irish, Igbo, Ilocano, . . .) is threatened by competition from another language (likely English!), and if preserving that language is important, what options do you have? Which approach to language preservation is most likely to be effective? Or... How much time do you have before the language is effectively dead? Surprisingly, tools from mathematical ecology, physics, and other seemingly remote fields have been adapted to answer questions about the evolution, competition, and even origin of human languages.
Speaker: Ben Ford, Sonoma State University
This event is now scheduled for November 27, 2022
Wonderfest: Seeking Climate Clarity - 09/27/2022 07:00 PM
Hopmonk Tavern Novato
Could frightening claims of world-wide climate change be mistaken? Do we really know that climate change is happening, and that humanity is the cause? In optimistic and pessimistic scenarios, how bad could it get? ... even in the Bay Area?! Finally, have we passed a global climate-change "tipping point," or do possible adjustments to economics and policy - stemming from a popular climate clarity -give us hope?
Speaker: Carl Mears, Remote Sensing Systems

Greater Than the Sum of Their Parts: Deceiving Assumptions in Analyzing Complex Human-environment Systems - Livestream - 09/28/2022 12:00 PM
CITRIS Research Exchange
Coupled human-environment systems are characterized by uncertainty, limited predictability, bounded rationality, indeterminate causality and evolutionary change. To determine the impact of specific policy intervention, an integrated analysis approach is needed that provides a holistic view of complex interactions within such systems. In this seminar, Kaveh Madani, the head of the Nexus Research Programme at the United Nations University, highlights some of the major challenges of modelling and managing complex human-environment systems to argue why we often fail to develop comprehensive technological and policy solutions that can solve one problem without creating new ones.

A big passion for 'little animals' - 09/28/2022 07:30 PM
Museum of Art and History Santa Cruz
We are surrounded by millions of invisible microbes that play important roles in everything from our daily routines to global nutrient cycles. For generations, scientists have dedicated themselves to the study of these invisible microbes or €˜little animals' as they were once known. Today, popular science and news articles abound with stories of the essential roles bacteria play in human health. While bacteria were once thought only to be a threat, we now know that even the healthy human body contains more bacterial cells than human cells. We are just beginning to understand our own complex.

Engineering Polymeric Materials to Study Cancer Dynamics - 09/30/2022 02:00 PM
Tan Hall Berkeley
Cell-induced matrix remodeling is a hallmark of both disease and regeneration. My lab develops biomaterials and matrix characterization methods to study these dynamic cell-matrix interactions. In designing our biomaterials, we employ protein engineering methods with simple polymer physics models to create biomimetic extracellular matrices for culture of patient-derived organoids. These materials have allowed us to identify matrix stiffness as a previously unknown modulator of chemo-resistance in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Intriguingly, this cellular behavior was reversible upon modulation of the matrix stiffness, suggesting that this may be an ideal pathway for future drug targeting. In a complementary project, we have developed a micro-rheology strategy that uses dynamic light scattering to characterize the mechanical properties of dynamic materials over time. We have used this method to measure the changes in matrix stiffness in cultures of breast cancer cells. Interestingly, we discovered that the cells stiffen the matrix at short time-scales, while simultaneously fluidizing the matrix at long time-scales. This seemingly paradoxical stiffening and fluidization are both required for cell invasion within our culture models. Our results suggest a mechanism whereby breast cancer cells reconcile the seemingly contradictory requirements for both tension and malleability in the matrix by differential alteration of matrix mechanics across different time-scales.
