SUMMARY:Midcentury Stereopanorama with Eric Drysdale: Look and see the 1950s in 3-D!
DESCRIPTION:For the last 20 years\, writer and comedian Eric Drysdale has been collecting photographs from the 1950s taken by amateurs with the Stereo Realist 3-dimensional camera system.  This remarkable technology was something like the ‘50s version of virtual reality\, pairing Kodak’s Kodachrome film with a precision viewer to deliver uncannily realistic\, full-color\, three-dimensional images. Think of it as an IMAX View-Master.\n\nDuring the Stereo Realist’s heyday in the early 1950s\, the mass-market 3-D camera was being used in hundreds of thousands of American households —but the technology has been largely forgotten.\n\nEric has narrowed his collection of tens of thousands of these amazing images to about 150 of the best\, and you’ll see them the way they were meant to be seen – in fully-restored high-quality vintage stereoscopic viewers.

SUMMARY:Film Screening "DNA: The Secret of Photo 51" and Q&A
DESCRIPTION:In 1952\, Dr. Rosalind Franklin was remarkably close to unraveling the mysteries of DNA and the building blocks of life itself. When her groundbreaking work was shared without her knowledge or permission\, it was used by Drs. Crick and Watson as the foundation of the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA\, for which they won a Nobel Prize. \nDNA: The Secret of Photo 51 is a compelling documentary that investigates Dr. Franklin’s work and the crucial\, yet largely unacknowledged role she played in one of the most important discoveries in scientific history. \nPlease join The New York Academy of Medicine for a screening of this important film\, followed by a discussion with Dr. Cecily Cannan Selby and Dr. Robert Ruben.

SUMMARY:Performing Knowledge: What Does Learning Feel Like?
DESCRIPTION:What can knowledge feel or look like? How might it move us? What might the emotional and aesthetic effects of knowledge be\, in addition to the cognitive? How does one know or come to know? What place do repetition\, gesture\, rhythm\, mimesis\, rehearsal\, meditation\, and travel have in knowledge? \nNow in its second year\, Performing Knowledge is a one-day festival of knowledge performances that accommodate and celebrate contradiction\, that find their meaning in specific social contexts\, and that may end with a question mark. Prominent scholars and graduate students across disciplines come together to reframe research and knowledge as happy human and intrinsically social occasions. \nThroughout the day\, GC CUNY students and faculty will present their research as 20-30 minute lecture performances. Check website for schedule updates.

SUMMARY:Andrew Marantz on the Failures of Silicon Valley and the Rise of the Alt-Right
DESCRIPTION:“There is a huge need and a huge opportunity to get everyone in the world connected\, to give everyone a voice and to help transform society for the future.” -Mark Zuckerberg. \nZuckerberg is just one of the many optimistic entrepreneurs of Silicon Valley who set out to create a free and democratic internet. Yet\, this mentality has resulted in many unintended negative consequences\, from interference in elections to cyberbullying. Harmful language used online is leading to real-world violence. Are the big tech companies and their investors at fault? Is there any turning back? The New Yorker’s Andrew Marantz will discuss this timely conversation and help us explore what we can do about it.

SUMMARY:The Human Swarm: How Our Societies Arise\, Thrive\, and Fall
DESCRIPTION:What are societies? What keeps them together and tears them apart?\n\n\n\nA New Yorker can fly to Los Angeles–or Borneo–with little fear. But\, If a chimpanzee ventures into the territory of a different group\, it will almost certainly be killed. \n\n\n\n\n\nPsychologists have done little to explain this: For years\, they have held that our biology puts a hard upper limit of about 150 people on the size of our social groups. But human societies are\, in fact\, vastly larger.\n\n\n\nHow do we manage—by and large—to get along with each other?\n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Mark W. Moffett will discuss how sprawling\, highly complex societies have been created and what it takes to sustain them. He will examine the social adaptations that bind the members to their societies and explores how the tension between identity and anonymity defines how those groups work—and sometimes don’t.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker \n\n\nDr. Mark W. Moffett\, also known as “Doctor Bugs\,” the Indiana Jones of Entomology\,” “The Martha Stewart of dirt\,” and “the Jane Goodall of ants” is a Photographer and a Biologist.

SUMMARY:Sir Roger Penrose in Conversation with Janna Levin
DESCRIPTION:Sir Roger Penrose was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his remarkable contributions to mathematics and physics. He is one of only twenty-two living recipients of the honor. Sir Roger\, as he is fondly known to other physicists\, is a relentlessly creative genius of the highest order. He has contributed profoundly to the structure of spacetime and geometry\, black holes\, the unification of quantum mechanics and gravity\, and the origin of our universe. His radical ideas on consciousness have provoked controversy and fascination\, while his playful geometric tilings were thought to be impossible in reality. Though intuition defying\, Penrose tilings ignited the imaginations of filmmakers and artists and ultimately were discovered in nature. Join Pioneer Works Director of Sciences Janna Levin as she hosts Sir Roger Penrose in a conversation that will stretch across the universe\, theories of consciousness\, and infinity. \nJoin us after the conversation for a book signing with Sir Penrose. Books will be available for purchase at the event. Weather permitting\, there will also be stargazing with the Amateur Astronomers Association of NY in our garden. \nSir Roger Penrose\, Order of Merit and Fellow of the Royal Society\, is presently Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford and an Emeritus Fellow at Wadham College. He won\, among many other awards\, the Wolf Prize in Physics\, which he shared with Stephen Hawking for the Hawking-Penrose Singularity Theorems. \nJanna Levin is the Chair and Director of the Science Studios at Pioneer Works. She is the Claire Tow Professor of physics and astronomy at Barnard College of Columbia University. Janna is a Guggenheim Fellow and a PEN-award winning novelist for a first work of fiction. She is the presenter of the NOVA feature Black Hole Apocalypse\, aired on PBS—the first female presenter for NOVA in 35 years. \n  \nDOORS AT 7PM\nCONVERSATION AT 8PM

SUMMARY:Atheism & Morality: Mapping the Game with Andrew Dennis
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Dennis’s talk focuses on the issues resulting from an atheist worldview. He starts by introducing a custom-made framework that utilizes game theory to identify and analyze players in what he calls “The Values Game.” He then divides the concept of atheism into three components and uses this stratification to explain how conversations in atheist spaces get derailed. \nBy the end\, attendees should be able to: \n\nMaintain a new and intuitive understanding of human moral development\nGrasp the generalized history of how we got to where we are\nUnderstand the pitfalls that activist groups fall into\nImprove their own activism\, general understanding of reality\, and conversations with others

SUMMARY:A Playlist for Our Future? Human Advantage in an Age of Technology
DESCRIPTION:This panel will address artificial intelligence and which lessons from the humanities and the social and behavioral sciences are needed.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe theme for Columbia University’s incoming class of 2023 is “Press Play\,” encouraging students to craft their own learning experiences and inspiring them to express their “whole\, authentic self.” Building on this appeal\, let’s start by imagining a “playlist for our future.” What kinds of tools and knowledge might be included in this holistic playlist? This panel will focus on questions of building human capabilities to address this new AI landscape and which lessons from the humanities and the social and behavioral sciences are needed in developing\, guiding\, and working alongside future technology. \nIn A Playlist for Our Future? Accelerating the Human Advantage in an Age of Technology and Complexity\, we’ll explore: \n\nGenerative learning as a model for human and machine collaboration\, and to increase the human advantage for lifelong learning and problem solving.\nKey lessons from history and the humanities on how humans have navigated technological change in the past\, and ways we can identify and address issues now and in the future.\nPractical applications\, frameworks\, and future research directions for industry and institutions\, as well as opportunities for collaboration.\n\n\n\nEvent Speakers:\n\nLydia Chilton\, Assistant Professor of Computer Science\, Columbia University\nMatthew Jones\, James R. Barker Professor of Contemporary Civilization\, Columbia University\nAlison Lord\, Global Head of Talent\, Google Creative Lab​\nMickey McManus\, Autodesk Fellow\, researcher\, computer scientist\, serial entrepreneur\, and author of Trillions: Thriving in the Emerging Information Ecology \nModerated by Beth Comstock\, former vice chair and CMO\, General Electric\, and author of Imagine it Forward: Courage\, Creativity\, and the Power of Change

SUMMARY:Growing Up in Science: Jacqueline Gottlieb's Unofficial Story
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will begin at 4:00 pm at the Jerome L. Greene Science Center\, room L7-119. \nJacqueline Gottlieb\, PhD studies the mechanisms that underlie the brain’s higher cognitive functions\, including decision making\, memory\, and attention. Her interest is in how the brain gathers the evidence it needs — and ignores what it doesn’t — during everyday tasks and during special states such as curiosity. Her research could offer insight into disorders that involve deficits of attention\, such as attention deficit disorder\, depression and drug addiction. \nGrowing Up in Science is a seminar series initiated at NYU by Drs. Wei Ji Ma and Cristina Alberini in 2014. The speakers of this series do not talk about their science; they talk about the human side of becoming and being a scientist. They share their successes as well as the struggles\, weaknesses\, detours and failures.

SUMMARY:Beyond Oneself: The Ethics and Psychology of Awe
DESCRIPTION:At its core\, awe and wonder appear to be powerful emotions that can inform and shape our attitudes toward ourselves and others\, especially in relation to the larger meaning and purpose of our lives. What are the psychological underpinnings of these universal emotions? How does awe\, for example\, relate to self-knowledge\, and more generally to understanding the enigmatic contradictions of human nature? Is it possible to cultivate and develop this emotion as an ethical incentive in our relations with others? Are awe and wonder capable of awakening and engendering moral transformation? Does the emotion of awe lie at the root of the religious impulse in humans? And is there any room left for a sense of the miraculous in today’s increasingly scientific and secular world? \nProf. of religious studies and ethicist Lisa Sideris joins psychologists Jennifer Stellar and Piercarlo Valdesolo to explore our understanding of how awe shapes our perspectives and views on everything from science to morality.
