Hello Evidence Fans,
I’m not sure that I would call this a crossroads in history but I think we are now seeing a convergence of science, reason, “it seems like”, “well they used to”, and “of course it worked, they may have died from it but they don’t have it anymore”. In a bit more than a century we (I say “we” as shorthand for scientists and those that support their incredible accomplishments) have learned that there are more galaxies than the one we live in. (We don’t really know if we can call it ours or are sharing it!) We have learned how to diagnose and treat a disease far more accurately based on more than symptoms. We have we have decoded the language of genes and learned how to do amazing things with this knowledge. We have shaken the anchors of gravity and discovered incredible things in our own solar system. Humans are circling the earth in 90 or so minutes every day when it used to take years. We used to have to go to a building full of books to get an answer to a question that we now get on our phone.
There is a bunch of denial of science going on. I suggest that we don’t need to rely on scientists for some things now. They warned us. The implored us. They fought for us. They have been proven right so many times none of us could count. There are a couple of issues that I would like to use as examples. These may be helpful in getting someone you know to rethink what they think. Let’s start with “climate change”. It was called a few other names in the past few years that just weren’t good choices. Remember Global Warming? The scientists told us it was coming or happening. Many people denied it. It might even have been considered to have a snowball’s chance in congress! Well I don’t think you need a scientist to defend it now. Permafrost is melting, Texas froze, Europe has been drowning, Siberia is on fire as well as parts of Europe and North America, we’re not getting the rain we think we should, and the ice is melting. I am amazed that those that trust their own eyes over science continue to deny these phenomena.
There are two types of science that can help us now. There is the rigorous scientific method or you can turn on the TV, read a newspaper, magazine, or read online. Look at a map of the U.S. depicted in the now popular red and blue. Overlay where the current run of covid-19-D is and you can go with either correlation or causation. What could possibly have caused the decline in flu and the common cold in the last year. Look at what is common among most of the people who are now being hospitalized and dying. It doesn’t take a scientist to recognize that what the scientists have learned and been able to do with vaccines might be the answer. It used to be that a good fleam could cure many things. Thankfully we are past that one (I hope).
Thankfully we seem to be getting past thinking only a portion of any population can do science or deserves credit for it. Consider that story of Jocelyn Bell Burnell which is barely 50 years old. Needless to say many have struggled or been neglected as she has.
But then I guess you have to wonder why we have to deal with flat earthers and stolen elections.
This week as always has a lot of tempting presentations and things to do. May I suggest:
After Dark: Seeing the Unseen Thu 6:00 in person
What To Do About Misinformation (in Four Dimensions) - Livestream Thu 7:30
Afternoon Hike at Pillar Point Bluff Sun 5:30 in person
It’s time we all got out and reengage with the world around us after being cooped up so long learning new and cool stuff (of course we all have!). I have one great option for you that will get you out of the house, neighborhood, town, and possibly county for at least 1 day a month. The Pigeon Point Light Station State Historic Park is, like all of us, opening up and welcoming people again. Now is a great time to get involved as they are rebuilding their volunteer/docent program and received funding to restore the lighthouse. This is a place where science can be presented as part of so many aspects. Natural history, environment, technology, and physics are just a few of the things you can present about. Contact Jeanée Ryan for more details.
Also to keep in mind is that this week is the week to catch the Perseid meteor shower. Take note that this is from Andrew Fraknoi and tip #1 points out what an excellent place Pigeon Point might be for seeing them. Alex Filippenko also suggests Perseid Meteor Shower 2021: All You Need To Know. If Alex and Andrew both point the same way you know it's got to be good!
So many people seem to have trouble finding their way out of the city and in to the world! When you read this consider that I am not a parent!!! Kids set free to roam on their own feel more confident navigating in adulthood. Of course we have all heard that mathematics is the language of science.
Have a great week learning cool things about how it all works and what can be done to help.
Peace, Fins, and Feet

Measuring and Improving Engagement in Online Learning - Livestream - 08/09/2021 07:00 PM
SF Bay Association of Computing Machinery
With a lot of learning shifting online, many students turn their cameras off, making it impossible for teachers to understand whether their students are engaged. Teachers feel that they are teaching a vacant wall of icons while students are unable to show that they are engaged without inviting discomfort. This application allows teachers to enable a mode of encouraging and communicating engagement without making students turning their video on. Students who are uncomfortable turning on their cameras can convey relevant emotions and engage with the lesson, helping all participants in a video conference increase mutual engagement and trust.The application builds on facial landmark learning to detect and communicate engagement. It consists of four components: calibration, detection, communication, and reporting. The application first calibrates detection and display to the specific user, changing parameters for detection and the avatar that will be displayed to communicate engagement. It detects specific actions such as smiling or raising a hand, then conveys them through an avatar, e.g., if the user smiles, the avatar smiles. It also provides each student an aggregated engagement score and graph for the duration of the lesson. Optionally, they can even contribute to the teacherâs report which would average all studentsâ engagement, keeping individual scores anonymous, so teachers know if large sections of their classes found some parts of the class to be harder.
The application is a step towards communicating real-time engagement and measuring overall engagement, even without having the connection of communicatingin person. It could be useful for ad testing, initial screenings, and flipped learning. Meanwhile, the changing avatar can bring interest and fun not only to classes, but in regular video calls among friends.

The New Breed: What Our Animal History Reveals For Our Robotic Future - Livestream - 08/10/2021 12:30 PM
Long Now Foundation
Robot ethicist Kate Darling offers a nuanced and smart take on our relationships to robots and the increasing presence they will have in our lives. From a social, legal, and ethical perspective, she shows that our current ways of thinking donât leave room for the robot technology that is soon to become part of our everyday routines. Robots are likely to supplement, rather than replace, our own skills and relationships.
Darling also considers our history of incorporating animals into our work, transportation, military, and even families, and shows how we already have a solid basis for how to contend with, and navigate our future with robots.
Dr. Kate Darling works at the intersection of law, ethics and robotics; as a researcher at MIT Media Lab, author and intellectual property policy advisor.
This event was originally scheduled for April 27.
The Web of Meaning - Livestream - 08/10/2021 07:00 PM
KPFA Radio 94.1 FM
Rethinking values based on science and traditional wisdom Indigenous, Buddhist, and Taoist traditions have held for millennia that all life is interconnected. Modern science has now validated their insight. What does this mean for how we should live? This groundbreaking new book weaves together the latest scientific findings and age-old philosophical insights to show how some of our most ingrained beliefs about human nature and the world are mistaken-and offers a powerful alternative to help us heal a planet in peril.THE WEB OF MEANING isn't just a challenge to outmoded beliefs. It is an invitation to a new worldview that integrates insights from some of the world's great wisdom traditions with modern science to offer a new way of thinking about ourselves and the world that is both intellectually sound and spiritually vibrant. In this far-reaching and boundary-defying book, Lent, described by Guardian columnist George Monbiot as "one of the greatest thinkers of our age," weaves together the latest research in neuroscience and evolutionary biology with Buddhist, Taoist, and Indigenous wisdom, and shows how these seemingly disparate streams of thought are eminently compatible. He argues that, taken together, they are key to facing the existential problems of the 21st century and can lead to a flourishing future for all. Speakers: Jeremy Lent wrote The Patterning Instinct: A Cultural History of Humanity's Search for Meaning. Joanna Manqueros, LCSW, Kaiser Permanente, KPFA host.

Life Finds a Way and The Impacts of Food Trade - Livestream - 08/12/2021 05:00 PM
Grounds for Science
Product of Mexico: The Socio-Environmental Impacts of Food Trade
Step into any supermarket in the US and you are likely to find crisp spinach, creamy avocados, and sweet raspberries year-round. As US supermarkets have become increasingly able to provide year-round access to popular produce, other countries - such as Mexico - have become more prominent in growing produce for the US market. What impacts does this food trade have on Mexican growing regions and resource balances, especially with regards to water use? In this talk, Sarah will discuss the social and environmental impacts of agricultural resource use embedded in international food trade.
Speaker: Sarah Hartman, UC Berkeley
Life finds a way: How can humans and wildlife co-exist in an increasingly developed world?
Carnivores and other wildlife co-occur with people in even the most pristine landscapes, and interactions between people and carnivores can shape ecology and human livelihoods at many scales. Integrating local community perspectives and histories with data on ecology and animal behavior can help us to understand how humans and carnivores can share landscapes over the long term despite increasing human development and activity. We demonstrate a case study on human-carnivore interactions and carnivore movement in Nakuru County, Kenya, and explore how these ideas can be applicable to Bay Area human-carnivore relationships.

The Unique Evolutionary History of Salt Marsh Sparrows in the SF Bay Area - Livestream - 08/12/2021 05:00 PM
San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory
Salt marshes lay at the edge of the land and sea with animals in these habitats exposed to the pressures of both realms. This is especially true for sparrows breeding in California's coastal marshes where they must cope with high salinity and daily tidal flooding. Adaptations to these challenges drive divergence from freshwater-adapted relatives and the evolution of highly unique populations. However, these specializations also leave these species uniquely vulnerable to the ever increasing human pressures on coastal habitats. Come learn how genomics and natural history collections are being integrated to study life on the edge in these salt marsh birds and document population responses to human development of the California coastline.

Can We Change the Way We Monitor Our Health Using Skin-like Microfluidic Wearables? - 08/12/2021 05:00 PM
Cafe Scientifique Silicon Valley
Wearable technologies have the potential to transform healthcare by providing continuous measurements of physiological parameters. Sensors that passively monitor physiological pressure without using electronic components are ideal as contact lens type devices because they are easy to interface with the cornea and the external environment. In our group, we developed a passive integrated microfluidic sensor with a novel transduction mechanism that converts small strain changes to a large fluidic volume expansion, detectable by a smartphone camera to monitor intraocular pressure for the management of glaucoma. In this presentation, I will talk about the recent advances in microfluidic biosensors and their potential as a physical rehabilitation management tool.

After Dark: Seeing the Unseen - 08/12/2021 06:00 PM
ExplOratorium San Francisco
How can tools and technologies help us âseeâ aspects of the environment, both natural and built, that are otherwise hidden to the human eye? And how are these new visions of landscapes - from cities to forests to oceans - supporting a new understanding of the world around us? Tonight at After Dark, learn more about cutting-edge technologies in use across science, industry, and the arts to help us better understand the world around us, protect our environment, and catch a glimpse of civilizations from the past. Then engage with projects taking a creative and sometimes speculative approach to mapping landscapes.
Just for Tonight:
Speculative Architecture: Short Films6:00 â"10:00 p.m. Osher Gallery 1, Microcinema
While LiDAR and Geographic Information System mapping (GIS) may first be thought of as tools of industry, in the hands of artists, they can be used to intriguing effect. Check out these short films that make use of these technologies:
Liam Youngâs Where the City Canât See (14 min.) is the first narrative fiction film shot entirely with laser scanners, and imagines a future city through the eyes of technological systems.
Josh Begleyâs Best of Luck with the Wall (6 min.) is a voyage across the entire 1954 miles of the US-Mexico border crafted with 200,000 satellite images.
DJ Lady Ryan From Hip Hop for Change6:30â"7:45, 8:15â"9:30 p.m.
Journey to Equal Rights With CyArk6:30â"9:30 p.m.
Fictional Cartography With Sean Hewens6:30â"9:30 p.m.  Osher Gallery 1
Sean Hewens makes maps that could be real. And sometimes are. But often arenât. View a selection of Seanâs mapsâ"both real and fictional. Chat with him about his process, which draws from historical documents, crowdsourced survey responses, and open-source data to create maps that range from functional to whimsical to intentionally misleading. Then grab a postcard to participate directly in his next fictional cartography project.Â
Using Computer Vision to Build Empathy for Nature With Amanda Bullington7:30 p.m.  Osher Gallery 1, Kanbar Forum
Even on the shortest stroll through the outdoors, you can expect to encounter a broad range of plants and animalsâ"but how many can you identify? Developed by iNaturalist, Seek is an AR app that encourages you to get outside, observe, and cultivate empathy for nature. Hear from Amanda Bullington, Seekâs lead software engineer, about how the app uses computer vision to help people identify and learn about the plants and animals they observe and encounter in situ. Then learn how Seek, as part of the broader iNaturalist ecosystem, is helping scientists better understand local landscapesâ"and engaging community scientists in environmental awareness.
Â
Discussing Space, Lasers, and Wildfire Without the Conspiracy Theories With Christopher Anderson8:30 p.m.  Osher Gallery 1, Kanbar Forum
You can learn a lot about a tree by scanning it with a laser. You can learn a lot about many trees by bolting a laser scanner to an airplane and flying over a forest. Can we learn something about every tree by launching a big laser into space? Join us for a review of how airborne and satellite technologies are being used to map forestsâ"including vegetation fuel loadsâ"and stay for some future speculation as to how they might help reduce our exposure to catastrophic wildfires.

What To Do About Misinformation (in Four Dimensions) - Livestream - 08/12/2021 07:30 PM
Bay Area Skeptics
Misinformation is a complex problem pervading many aspects of society, with technological, psychological, social, and cultural aspects. Countering misinformation requires tackling the many-headed beast from a variety of disciplines and directions. The 4D Project synthesizes four research themes: Detect, Deconstruct, Debunk, and Deploy. Detection involves training machine learning models, in collaboration with UK-based political scientists, to automatically detect and categorize climate misinformation in real-time. Deconstruction uses a critical thinking methodology developed with University of Queensland philosophers to analyse and identify reasoning fallacies in misinformation. Debunking can take a variety of forms, and Cook will outline his collaboration with US-based communication researchers to experimentally test different approaches and improve psychological understanding of misinformation correction. Deployment involves putting into practice the theoretical insights from the first three themes. For example, the Cranky Uncle game, developed with the U.S. creative agency Autonomy, combines critical thinking, inoculation theory, and cartoons in the form of a smartphone game that builds playersâ resilience against misinformation.

Evening Tours of Lick Observatory - SOLD OUT - 08/13/2021 06:30 PM
Lick Observatory Mt. Hamilton
The event will last approximately 4 to 6 hours. Visitors should be prepared to walk about one mile during the evening, including taking stairs. Events are held rain or shine.
The tour will start at the main buildingâs Visitor Center. Participants can learn about the unique history of the worldâs first permanently occupied mountain top observatory, the eccentric California pioneer James Lick, technology used for observing on different telescopes along the tour route, and current science being conducted at Lick Observatory.
A highlight of the tour will be visiting the dome of the 3-meter Shane Telescope to see the mountainâs largest telescope up close. After the walking tour, there will be an opportunity to enjoy the sunset, and the Gift Shop will be open. During twilight, a history lecture about James Lick and the construction of the observatory will be presented. Once the sky is dark (and weather permitting), viewing celestial objects through the historic 36-inch Great Refractor Telescope will commence. Insights will be provided throughout the evening on how we find planets beyond our solar system, how exploding stars teach us about the evolution of the universe, how we discern the nature of galaxies and black holes, how new technologies are used to undo the blurring effects of Earthâs atmosphere, and about Lick Observatoryâs rich astronomical history and bright scientific future.
Complimentary coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are included with the tour. The event will last approximately 4 to 6 hours. For safety reasons and due to late hours, children under the age of 8 cannot participate; this event is recommended for ages 12 years and up. Visitors should be prepared to walk about one mile during the evening, including taking stairs. Events are held rain or shine. Weather may restrict telescope viewings, but other activities will still take place. Due to historic construction of telescope domes and safety concerns, the telescopes are not wheelchair accessible at this time. Those having difficulty navigating stairs may also find the telescopes inaccessible.

Science Sundays: Fascinating Fish Bones: Archaeology for the Future of Fishers and Fisheries - Livestream - 08/15/2021 01:30 PM
Seymour Science Center
At coastal archaeological sites, thousands of fish bones represent the discarded remains of past meals. Fish bones provide important clues about how people of the past lived and how their daily activities shaped the identity of coastal residents, their relationships, and their interaction with the surrounding environment. Plus, an understanding of the long history of fishing can help us conserve coastal fisheries for future fishers.
Join Eréndira Quintana Morales, UC Santa Cruz, to discover the fascinating world of fish bones and learn about her collaborative research on the archaeology of fisheries in the Western Indian Ocean.
Afternoon Hike at Pillar Point Bluff - 08/15/2021 05:30 PM
Pillar Point Bluff Moss Beach
Join Peninsula Open Space Trust for an afternoon Hike at Pillar Point Bluff just north of Half Moon Bay! You will be guided by a POST representative who will share details about the areaâs interesting natural history, from the coastal scrub habitat to the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve that hosts tide pools and breeding grounds for harbor seals.
The hike is moderate at about 2.5 miles round trip with around 300 feet of gradual elevation gain.
In 2004, POST stepped in to fund protection of the bluff, restore it to ecological health, and construct a 1.6-mile section of the California Coastal Trail that now runs across it. Today, all 161 acres of the bluff are fully protected in perpetuity - a process that took four transactions, 11 years of work, and an array of visionaries, landowners and donors, both public and private.
