SUMMARY:Early Cretaceous Meat-Eating Dinosaurs of Maryland and Virginia
DESCRIPTION:Image: Dinosaurus.nl \nEarly Cretaceous Meat-Eating Dinosaurs of Maryland and Virginia\n  \n512 fossils from the Early Cretaceous of Maryland are currently stored at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington\, DC\, USA. Of those most are bones of a large\, long necked 4-legged dinosaur called Astrodon\, which belongs to the Sauropod group. We also have bones from armored Ankylosaur dinosaurs\, ornithopod or bird footed dinosaurs\, and two meat eaters\, Acrocathosaurus and Deinonychus. Acrocanthosaurus was almost the size of a T. rex\, and Deinonychus was a raptor. A group of high school students in Virginia and New York collaborated to analyze teeth from these meat eaters in order to reconstruct the ecology of Maryland and Virginia during the Early Cretaceous. \nDr. William Schmachtenberg will present the results of their research during this meeting. The students work have been submitted to the New York Paleontological Society for publication. \n  \n  \n \n\n\n\nDr. William Schmachtenberg\n\n\nReference work in the library\n\n\nPrevious lectures on film\n\n\n \n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \nNon-members only need to register once to attend the free events. \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:Methamphetamine
DESCRIPTION:The History\, Pharmacology & Pathophysiology of Methamphetamine\n  \nMethamphetamine was first derived from another stimulant in 1893. Initially unrestricted\, it seduced populations of many countries by its stimulant effects and addictive nature.  \nAside from a few accepted medical uses as a controlled substance\, it has played  \n          – an economic role as a profitable drug\, \n          – a geopolitical role as an agent of enhancement for military personnel and political leaders\, \n          – and with underground manufacture and distribution\, in the illegal drug trade in the United States and elsewhere. \n  \n \n  \nThis presentation will discuss the pharmacology of N-methamphetamine and its use in medical treatment as well as drug abuse\, with emphasis on the mechanisms of action and pathophysiology that arises from addiction and long term use. We will also examine the medical costs and criminal impact on society arising from the existence of this drug. \n  \n \n  \n\n\n\nRobert A.

SUMMARY:Understanding Science: Earth and the Solar System
DESCRIPTION:Image: ESA – ESA’s missions to the Sun \nUnderstanding Science\nOur Home: The Earth and the Solar System\nFrom the bizarre world of the very small\, the subatomic particles that make up everything we know\, we turn our attention to the macro world\, namely our sun and the objects which orbit it. In this case\, one of the small particles within this ‘atom\,’ just one among a billion other star systems that comprise our galaxy\, itself only one of billions of other galaxies in our known universe\, is the only home we have\, the ‘third rock from the sun’ we call Earth. \n  \n \n  \n \nI do not think humans really appreciated how special the Earth is until we were able to travel beyond it. I remember during the Apollo 8 mission\, the first that time humans left Earth’s gravity\, how the contrast of the ‘blue marble’ in space rising over the drab\, lifeless moon brought a stark realization to everyone who witnessed it that we live on a fragile\, ‘goldilocks’ planet with just the right conditions to make the surface habitable for life as we know it. It was this realization that inspired Earth Day in 1970 and the movements since to preserve what we have here for future generations. \n  \nDuring the 1960’s\, space exploration seemed part of the Space Race and Arms Race\, a product of the Cold War. After a few missions to the moon\, humans have not ventured outside Earth’s orbit. However\, robotic spacecraft have not only helped us to better understand our home planet but have also probed deep into space and the worlds beyond ours to try to understand our place in the universe\, to answer the questions of how unique our planet is\, whether there may be life elsewhere\, and to understand how it all began. \n \nIn recent years\, there has been a resurgence of interest in space exploration. In just this last year there have been three missions to Mars\, and several more to our Moon\, the Sun\, and the smaller bodies of the solar system\, by a handful of nations\, not just the Cold War rivals. There are also several commercial entities planning serious efforts to exploit the resources on the moon and beyond\, and cooperative efforts to put a space station around the Moon\, with a base on the surface to follow. \nNASA Science\, Mars 2020 Mission\, Perseverance Rover\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nJoin me as we explore how we ventured out beyond our home and the amazing discoveries we have made about our solar system and its inhabitants and the world beyond\, some exciting recent and current plans for further exploration\, and what all this might mean for our future. \nPresentation by Dr. Phil Youngblood \n  \n \n  \n\n\n\nDr. Phil Youngblood\n\n\nReference work in the library\n\n\nPrevious lectures on film\n\n\nPodcast\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nNon-members only need to register once. \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:Panel: Robots & Drones
DESCRIPTION:From toys to surveillance to autonomous flight on another planet\, robots and drones are becoming a part of life in the 21st century. We are on the threshold of advances in AI and universal surveillance that will bring benefits and risks to society. It is time to discuss the implications of these new elements in our world. \n  \nA 16-minute YouTube to get you started: Why do Boston Dynamics Robots dance? And Could Elon Musk be right that superhuman AI is only around five years away? \n  \n\n\n\nGuests: Our Audience\n\n\n\n \n  \n  \n\n\n\nMatthew Burr\n\n\nPrevious panels on film\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nNon-members only need to register once. \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.
