Hello Supporters of Science and Reason
Well this seems to be a dated week doesn’t it! There certainly seem to be more dates to celebrate than I notice normally. Science and history do seem like they should make good bedfellows though it seems like many people wouldn’t want to let history and science get in the way of their agenda!
It was only 549 years ago that Copernicus was born and started his study to move the earth! He wasn’t the first to come up with heliocentrism but he made a big mark in history. It was only 60 years ago John Glenn flew in to the history books. It was just a year ago that Perseverance landed on Mars and is going strong while chasing Ingenuity, there is a lot to see and hear about. While Mars was capturing lots of attention and photo ops, science has been getting attention here too. The James Webb Space Telescope is already starting to prove itself and it isn’t complaining about it being 522°F hotter on one side than the other!
I have often talked about how science and art compliment each other. Here are a few items that might intrigue you with that idea. The Union of Concerned Scientists is presenting The Poetry of Science Tue @ 4:00 (PT). Achieving Perspective: Trailblazing Astronomer Maria Mitchell and the Poetry of the Cosmic Perspective by Pattiann Rogers with David Byrne make for good reading and listening as well. Of course exploring the world through science, art, and human perception is an excellent way to see how they complement each other. One might also consider the fun of art as applied science! I suspect that any sport can use some science enhancement as well.
In this day and age science certainly seems to be the best way to support a healthy life.
How Does Anyone Stay Healthy in a World Full of Germs? Some things seem timeless... Ancient Greeks lived through a plague, and blamed their leaders too! We’ve all tried it or had someone try it on us… Does scaring people work when it comes to health messaging? Science is pretty careful and tries to be accurate but what does scientific consensus mean? Take climate change for instance.
Of course there are plenty of opportunities to learn about a lot of these topics and issues in the coming weeks. May I suggest

Intelligent Life Beyond Earth - Livestream - 02/22/2022 05:00 PM
Commonwealth Club - Online Event
Are we alone? Avi Loeb, Harvard’s top astronomer, doesn’t seem to think so. He believes that our solar system was recently visited by advanced alien technology from a distant star. In 2017, scientists in Hawaii observed an object soaring through the sky, moving too fast along a strange orbit for Loeb to conclude that it was a regular asteroid. Instead, he suggested the object could be a piece of advanced technology created by a distant alien civilization.
In his new book, Extraterrestrial, Loeb takes readers inside the thrilling story of the first interstellar visitor to be spotted in our solar system. He outlines his controversial theory and its profound implications: for science, religion and the future of our species and planet. Loeb challenges readers to aim for the stars - and to think critically about what’s out there, no matter how strange it seems.
Join us as Avi Loeb takes us through a sky-bounding and mind-blowing journey of the wonders of space and what could be out there.

Nutrient-sensitive transcripts as biomarkers of in situ physiological state in marine phytoplankton - Livestream - 02/23/2022 03:40 PM
Estuary & Ocean Science Center
Phytoplankton impact ocean food webs, nutrient cycles, and global carbon biogeochemistry, yet traditional bulk methods to study them are often inadequate to measure relevant rates and dynamics that influence ecosystem function. Current methods lack taxonomic resolution and/or use sampling schemes with limited spatial or temporal resolution and therefore, the mechanisms that regulate phytoplankton productivity and the fate of the carbon they produce are poorly understood. To address this, we have investigated how diatoms, a highly productive and dominant group of marine phytoplankton, sense and respond to shifts in nutrient availability at the level of gene expression. In-depth investigation of gene expression and metabolic flux in model species has facilitated the identification of biomarkers for nutrient status of diatoms in the field and promises to accelerate development of ecogenomic sensors capable of deployment in high-resolution spatial and temporal sampling.

Science on Tap - Why was the weather forecast wrong? And what does that mean for climate change? - 02/23/2022 07:00 PM
Museum of Art and History Santa Cruz
The biggest challenge in weather forecasting is predicting whether it’s going to rain, and if so, how much. One reason for this difficulty is that the clouds that produce the rain are not well understood. This same challenge is important for predicting climate. Clouds affect climate in a variety of ways, and their response to rising greenhouse gas concentrations is crucial to accurately predicting how our climate will change. This talk will introduce clouds, discuss their role in the climate system, and describe our best guesses for how clouds and rainfall will change over the next century.

Processing Conventional and Non-Uniformly Sampled Biomolecular NMR Spectra: How to Do It, and What’s Good to Know - Livestream - 02/24/2022 12:00 PM
California Section American Chemical Society
Biomolecular NMR is widely applied to basic research in protein structure and dynamics, and can be exploited in a multitude of ways for drug discovery and manufacturing, including characterization of ligand binding for small-molecule drug development, and identification of structural changes in protein therapeutics during storage.
Correspondingly, there are hundreds of different NMR experiments, many ways that a given experiment can be acquired, and these details are often vendor-specific. Furthermore, most any multidimensional NMR experiment can be acquired using the technique of non-uniform sampling (NUS), which speeds measurement by skipping acquisition of a selected fraction of the data, but requires special data format conversion and spectral reconstruction methods. We review the key concepts of NUS, and demonstrate the practical steps for format conversion and processing of conventional and NUS 2D and 3D biomolecular NMR data, using the latest interactive and command-line tools of the NMRPipe software system.
The presentation will be followed by Q & A.

So You Want to Decarbonize a Building? - Livestream - 02/24/2022 12:30 PM
SF Planning + Urban Research Assoc. (SPUR)
In the United States, approximately 35% of the nation’s 2019 carbon footprint was a result of energy use in buildings (and almost 50% when including embodied carbon). This number is even higher in densely populated public transportation-reliant regions like the Bay Area. Therefore, decarbonizing buildings themselves can play a massive role in drawing down the region’s emissions and bringing cities closer to their emissions goals. However, decarbonizing most buildings isn’t as simple as just turning off the gas. Luckily, the newly released Building Decarbonization Practice Guide from the William J. Worthen Foundation provides a handbook from which to start. Across its eight volumes, the guide provides clarity for the building design and construction community to advance building electrification and embodied carbon reduction across multi-family and commercial buildings, hotels and more. Hear from the guide’s authors and learn how you can have a role in redesigning the built environment to be part of a zero net carbon future.

Do Droughts Affect Groundwater Quality? A California Story - Livestream - 02/24/2022 06:00 PM
US Geological Survey Public Lecture Series
Speaker: Zeno Levy, USGS Research Geologist
Groundwater is an important source of drinking water for millions of Californians, and billions worldwide. Conventional wisdom is groundwater quality is "slow" to respond to drought. New study links rapid increases of agricultural contaminants in drinking-water wells to intensive pumping of California aquifers during drought. Results highlight vulnerabilities of drinking-water resources to climate change in California and other drought-prone regions.

Outdoor Survival Skills (And How To Avoid Needing Them!) - Livestream - 02/24/2022 07:00 PM
Peninsula Open Space Trust
Many of us have heard stories of people who got lost or injured in the wild and were able to survive for days. Have you ever wondered how they did it, and what you would do if you found yourself in a similar situation?
Our local open spaces are designed to be safe for everyone, from the casual walker to the experienced hiker. So it’s usually easy to avoid these situations completely by staying on trail, planning ahead, and taking on only as much exploring as you can handle. However, things can sometimes go wrong, especially for those who like to head deep into natural lands and wilderness areas. Each year, out of the hundreds of thousands of guests who safely visit natural parks and open spaces, a few people find themselves alone, lost, injured or a combination of the above and unable to immediately contact help.
We will welcome Bay Area wilderness survival expert Jack Harrison for a webinar that will help prepare you for these worst case scenario, or just help you learn about how other people would navigate one. We’ll discuss how to stay calm in an emergency situation, protect yourself from heat and cold, manage food and hydration and some strategies to get help or find your way back, or at least not get more lost. Oh, and we’ll also provide some basic tips for how to stay out of an emergency situation in the first place!
While it can sound scary, exploring these hypothetical situations can be fun, and developing wilderness survival skills is another way to deepen your connection to and increase your confidence while outdoors. We look forward to hosting you for this exciting conversation.

Mechanically Imaging the Chemical Bond - Livestream - 02/28/2022 02:30 PM
UC Berkeley Condensed Matter Physics Seminar
About a half century ago, Richard Feynman noted that characterizing the microscopic structure of materials would be a lot easier if one could just look and see where the atoms were. In some ways, “seeing atoms in a molecule” is now feasible fulfilling Feynman’s suggestion.
In particular, recent advances in atomic force microscopy have mechanically rendered images of chemical bonds with an unprecedented resolution. These advances offer the possibility of imaging the subatomic structure of molecules. Still, fundamental questions remain about interpreting such images. While most features in the measured images have a close correspondence to the atomic structure of a given specimen, some cannot be so interpreted.
In order to simulate an atomic force image and address such questions, one must calculate accurate interatomic forces between the specimens and the probe as a function of the tip height. The required calculations are computationally intense as they may involve thousands of atoms for a like number of different geometries. Such calculations are traditionally outside of our capability, even with contemporary computational platforms. I will illustrate how new algorithms for simulating atomic force microscopy can address these computational hurdles and result in images that often replicate measured bond properties in subatomic detail for a variety of complex molecular species.

Nuclear Batteries: a New Way in Energy - Livestream - 02/28/2022 03:30 PM
SLAC Colloquium
In the 21st century humanity faces three formidable and intertwined challenges: (i) climate change, (ii) geopolitical instability, and (iii) economic and social inequality. There is one tool that is key to the resolution of all three challenges: energy! The availability of plentiful, clean, reliable and affordable energy will power climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts, will reduce competition for natural resources among the nations, and will drive new and beneficial economic activities on a global scale.
In the US there is growing bipartisan support among policymakers and energy regulators for nuclear energy to play a substantial role in addressing these challenges, in particular decarbonizing and strengthening the global energy system. There is also recognition that the traditional nuclear deployment model based on field construction of large GW-scale reactors, taking over a decade to license and build, requiring multi-billion dollar investments, and ultimately selling commodity electrons on the grid, is no longer economically sustainable. As such, considerable interest is now being placed on smaller reactors that can be deployed at a fraction of the cost and time, and can serve a variety of users beyond the electric grid. The window of opportunity for new nuclear is real but narrow, i.e., if economically viable nuclear technologies are not commercialized before the end of the decade, it is unlikely that they will be relevant to addressing the aforementioned challenges.
In this presentation I will introduce the concept of the Nuclear Battery, i.e., a standardized, factory-fabricated, road transportable, plug-and-play micro-reactor. Nuclear Batteries have the potential to provide on-demand, carbon-free, economic, resilient and safe energy for distributed heat and electricity applications in every sector of the economy. Particular attention will be given to the Nuclear Battery economic potential, which stems from bypassing the need for costly and fragile energy transmission and storage infrastructure typical of clean-energy alternatives.

From Impossible to Inevitable: Chile's Path to Net Zero - Livestream - 02/28/2022 04:00 PM
Stanford Energy Seminar
Chile has undergone an energy revolution that has changed the country's climate and energy policy. In 2013 large coal and hydro projects were in line, which were ultimately shelved and replaced with plentiful and economic renewable energy. In 2021, 24% of all energy in the country came from solar and wind energy. There is a consensus that Chile's net zero target will spur more growth and investment than the status quo. The talk will explore how these changes occurred, and how smart and integral regulations on air pollution, carbon pricing, and social unrest shifted the tide to a country that wants to transform its extractive economy into a renewable economy.
Speaker: Marcelo Mena, Methane Hub

Discipline-based education research has made great strides in understanding how to foster more equitable and effective education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). However, there still has yet to be widespread adoption of reforms in university STEM departments. Our project seeks to understand how departments can implement sustainable, large-scale changes through the creation of Departmental Action Teams (DATs). DATs are teams of faculty, students, and staff within a single STEM department working on some issue related to undergraduate education. While these changes take many forms, they are grounded in six core principles, including upholding a commitment to equity, inclusion, and justice. During this talk, I will first discuss the multifaceted nature of complex equity-focused change. I will then present an overview of the DAT model and the theoretical principles which guide our work. Finally, I will present some empirical research discussing how to meaningfully develop student-staff-faculty partnerships while implementing departmental changes.

Wonderfest: Secrets to the Study of Animal Behavior - 02/28/2022 07:00 PM
Hopmonk Tavern Novato
Many of us are captivated by the behavior of wild animals: a pride of lions fighting off a clan of hyenas, a honeybee dancing to communicate the location of food, the crazy acrobatic courtship displays of male lance-tailed manakins. What is it like to be a biologist who studies the behavior of such creatures? What are the implications for the study of human behavior? Using examples drawn from her work with rodents known as tuco-tucos, tojos, and tokoros (pictured above), Dr. Eileen Lacey will describe the types of questions, concerns, and sometimes astounding solutions that field biologists employ in their quest to understand why animals do what they do.
