SUMMARY:Open Board Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Every first Friday of the month\, we hold an open board meeting for the benefit of our members. Here you can contact us with your questions\, create ideas and hopefully together with us\, give substance to our plans for the future. \nDuring every open board meeting we display a screen with our current statistics\, updated monthly and are there for your information. \nProgram \n\nOpening\nSubjects from the board of directors\nSupporting hostesses and hosts sought\nDo we need a second region?\nQuestions & ideas from our members\nClosing\n\n  \nNOTE: a transcript of all board meetings is stored and made available to the board of directors for future reference. It will not be publicly available. \nIf this time does not suit you\, please send your questions etc via IM\, notecard or email to Jes or Chantal. We will submit your question\, idea or comment to the board and provide you with the answer.

SUMMARY:Alien Exosociology
DESCRIPTION:Photo: Voyager\, Jet Propulsion Laboratory\, NASA \n  \nALIEN EXOSOCIOLOGY: OUR TRANSGALACTIC COMMONALITIES \nSome astronomers predict that we will have made contact with advanced civilizations on other worlds within 25 years. What might they be like\, and — more importantly – how might they act? Dr. Steven R. Van Hook\, a researcher in transcultural relations\, will consider what universal traits we could share in common with our galactic alien neighbors. \n  \nBIO: \nDr. Steven R. Van Hook\, has taught courses in cross-cultural communications and global affairs for the University of California and other universities in the United States and abroad. He’s been a newspaper columnist\, radio talk show host\, TV news anchor\, and television bureau chief in Moscow covering the fall of the Soviet Union 1990-91. He has a PhD specializing transcultural education\, and has research published in scholarly journals including UNESCO’s Prospects. \n  \n  \n  \nPrevious presentations\nFilm Collection\nLibrary \nListen to Steven’s journey of discovery into the world of science by podcast

SUMMARY:Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
DESCRIPTION:Prometheus Chained\, by Peter Paul Rubens\, c 1611-1615 Philadelphia Museum of Art\n(Daily plucking of liver tissue from the right\, upper quadrant of the abdomen by the Eagle of Zeus) \nNASH = NON-ALCOHOLIC STEATOHEPATITIS / NON-ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE (NAFLD) \nNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease is of increasing prevalence and can lead to cirrhosis and total liver failure and can be found in children as young as 2 years of age through adulthood.  Death can occur not only from liver failure but more likely\, associated cardiovascular disease.  This talk will review the clinical presentation and natural course of this  disease process and its possible associations with modern lifestyle\, diet and gastrointestinal (gut) microbiota. \nGOAL – to raise awareness and basic understanding of NON-ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE for lay people. \nBy Robert A. Hendrix\, MD \nPodcast interview with Robert

SUMMARY:Darwin day: Heroes of Evolution
DESCRIPTION:Darwin Day 2019 Lecture \nHeroes of Evolution: Kettlewell and Majerus: Of Moths and March of Science \nThis lecture will honor the accomplishments of two scientists who helped demonstrate “Evolution in Action.” \nDr. Henry Bernard Davis Kettlewell spent time in the field counting moths in response to increasing amounts of pollution. This phenomenon of industrial melanism was an excellent demonstration of microevolution showing how a population of organisms change in accordance with environmental changes. Unfortunately\, scientific criticism lead to junk science criticisms by anti-evolutionists. \nDr. Mike Majerus followed up on the scientific criticisms with his own updated experiments solidifying this basic concept of modern evolutionary theory. This talk focuses on the basics of the science and also the process of how science works. \nIt will\, as is typical for the speaker\, criticize the bad faith arguments of the anti-evolutionists and reflect on the challenges for rational thought in today’s culture. \n  \nDr. Stephen L. Gasior   \nPrevious work in the Library \nPrevious work in the Film Collection \nPodcast interview \n  \n  \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first. \n

SUMMARY:Pigments and Colors and Dyes\, Oh My!
DESCRIPTION:Photo: Wikipedia \nSome chemistry behind the colors we see: Pigments and Colors and Dyes\, Oh My! \nWhen we make new compounds\, one of the first questions we ask is “What color is it?” The color of a substance depends on many factors\, including its composition\, particle size\, and the physics of how light interacts with its surface. Even the ability to perceive color rests on chemical changes of compounds within specialized cells. This introductory talk will touch on purely physical means by which colors are generated\, but will focus on how colors are the result of light absorption (and sometimes emission) by inorganic and organic substances. \n  \n— Mike J. Shaw \nPrevious work in the Library \nPrevious work in the Film Collection \nPodcast interview \n  \n  \n  \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:Cyber Security
DESCRIPTION:Monthly panel discussion \nWith this week as subject “Cyber Security” \n\n  \n  \n\nModerator: Matthew Burr – Beragon Betts \n\n  \nAnyone who is interested in his security on the internet will soon come across worrying reports about phishing e-mails\, cybercrime\, industrial espionage\, governments stealing each other’s data and cyber-terrorism. Closer to home\, data mining affects us via Facebook\, Google and Microsoft. \nWhat started as a free sharing of data has gradually turned into an unsafe\, lawless space where everyone is a target for malicious parties. \nMore information Harvard Cybersecurity Wiki \n\nPanel participants: \n\nMyron Curtis\nPhil Youngblood\nSam Galus\, Professor at St. Mary’s University\, San Antonio\, Texas\n\nTo make your questions visible to our host and panel members\, have your questions be preceded by 3 stars *** \n\n  \nPrevious panels in the Film Collection \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.
