SUMMARY:The First AI Simulation of the Universe is Fast and Accurate — and We Don’t Know Why
DESCRIPTION:A full understanding of the evolution of the universe’s structure is one of the holy grails of modern astrophysics. Astrophysicists survey large volumes of the universe and compare the findings to computer simulations. Simulating the movement of billions of particles over billions of years is a daunting task\, however\, even when using the simplest physical models. \nIn this lecture\, Shirley Ho will discuss her team’s work building a deep neural network that learns from a set of pre-run numerical simulations and predicts the large scale structure of the universe. Extensive analysis demonstrates that their deep-learning technique outperforms the commonly used fast approximate simulation method in predicting cosmic structure in the non-linear regime. They also show that their method can accurately extrapolate far beyond its training data and predict structure formation for significantly different cosmological parameters. This ability to extrapolate outside its training set is highly unexpected and remains a mystery. \n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\nHo’s research interests have ranged from fundamental cosmological measurements to exoplanet statistics to using machine learning to estimate how much dark matter is in the universe. Ho has broad expertise in theory\, observation and data science. Her recent interest has been on understanding and developing novel tools in statistics and machine learning techniques and applying them to astrophysical challenges. Her goal is to understand the universe’s beginning\, evolution and ultimate fate.

SUMMARY:CRISPR Film Screening: Human Nature
DESCRIPTION:From executive producer Dan Rather and director Adam Bolt\, the co-writer and editor of the Oscar-winning film Inside Job\, comes the story of the biggest tech revolution of the 21st Century. And it isn’t digital\, it’s biological. \nA breakthrough called CRISPR has given us unprecedented control over the basic building blocks of life. It opens the door to curing diseases\, reshaping the biosphere\, and designing our own children. Human Nature is a provocative exploration of CRISPR’s far-reaching implications\, through the eyes of the scientists who discovered it\, the families it is affecting\, and the bio-engineers who are testing its limits. How will this new power change our relationship with nature? What will it mean for human evolution? To begin to answer these questions we must look back billions of years and peer into an uncertain future. \nJoin us at the New York Academy of Sciences for a screening of the film Human Nature to explore these questions and more. For more in-depth coverage of the latest in CRISPR technology join us for the scientific symposium CRISPR: New Frontiers.

SUMMARY:From Einstein’s Doubts to Quantum Technologies: A New Quantum Revolution
DESCRIPTION:The debate between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr over the interpretation of quantum mechanics was settled by the experimental tests of Bell’s inequalities. Those experiments drew attention to the revolutionary character of quantum entanglement\, which is now a key ingredient of quantum computing and quantum information. \nIn this lecture\, Alain Aspect will first explain Einstein’s reasoning about entangled particles. That reasoning led to his conclusion that quantum mechanics is not complete\, in contradiction with Bohr’s point of view. Aspect will then show how Bell’s inequalities have allowed experimentalists to settle the debate\, emphasizing the most extraordinary features of entanglement and prompting the emergence of basic ideas for quantum information and quantum communication. These ideas are enabling the development of new technologies in many academic and industrial laboratories. \n

SUMMARY:Secret Science Club Presents Astrophysicist Chiara Mingarelli
DESCRIPTION:Gravitational waves in space-time are like ripples in a pond cause by a pebble thrown in the water—that is\, if the pebble’s impact had the energy of\, say\, our own Sun exploding. Predicted by Einstein in 1916\, gravitational waves proved devilishly difficult to detect. It was only in 2015 that scientists were first able to pinpoint the existence of a real-life gravitational wave\, echoing across space-time as the result of a collision of two black holes more than a billion miles away. \nThat discovery ushered in a new “wave” in astronomy: Gravitational waves aren’t just fascinating phenomena—they are a whole new way to study the cosmos. Astrophysicist Chiara Mingarelli is part of a consortium of international scientists\, working on new methods to predict and detect gravitational waves in an effort to understand the large portion of the Universe that remains invisible to us. \nAt the next Secret Science Club\, Dr. Mingarelli asks: \n–Are there different kinds gravitational waves? Why are some harder to detect than others? \n–What might gravitational waves teach us about dark matter\, dark energy\, black holes\, and the Big Bang? \n–What role do pulsars (those super-freaky but super-reliable\, rotating\, radio-wave emitting neutron stars) play in gravitational wave research?

SUMMARY:The Psychology of Love
DESCRIPTION:What is Love? How many of us have tried\, in vain\, to love an objectively great person only to have our attention gripped by the swagger or sway of the bad boy or girl? What’s the point of dismissing the billions of others in favor of just one? \n\n\n\n\n\nIt turns out that love may function as a commitment device\, providing a solution for a class of social dilemmas termed commitment problems. \n\n\n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Lawrence Ian Reed\, clinical assistant professor at NYU\, will provide a theoretical framework for love that will answer these questions and others. All to help us all get lucky in love.

SUMMARY:Sarah Woolley: Singing in the Brain
DESCRIPTION:The young brain learning to communicate with hearing and voice builds auditory and vocal motor circuits that are functionally coupled to perceive and produce particular sounds. Sarah Woolley has helped decode how the brain interprets vocalizations — and what happens during development when those sounds are disrupted. Her research could shed important light on developmental disorders associated with speech and communication. In this conversation\, Dr. Woolley will discuss progress using songbirds to understand how early social experience tunes the auditory system for vocal communication. \nEvent Speaker:\nSarah Woolley\, PhD is Professor and former Chair in the Department of Psychology at Columbia University. She directs the Communication Neuroscience Laboratory in the Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute and is a member of the Kavli Institute for Brain Science.

SUMMARY:The Enigma of Life: Confronting Marvels at the Edges of Science
DESCRIPTION:Einstein famously claimed that “the most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible.” This statement suggests that no amount of scientific explanation will suffice to make sense of the bizarre situation of the human mind within the universe. So what is the actual role of awe and wonder within the framework of contemporary science? How\, for instance\, do awe and wonder inform scientists’ understanding of the phenomena they are researching? What aspects of contemporary science are more likely to elicit wonder\, and why? Is science rechanneling our innate thirst for knowledge and understanding toward more concrete and palpable realities\, or is it aggravating the tension between truth and meaning by revealing the scope of our ignorance when it comes to probing the ultimate nature of reality? \nPhysicist Marcelo Gleiser\, experimental psychologist Tania Lombrozo\, and physician Gavin Francis analyze the impact of awe and wonder on their own work and on the mindsets of their colleagues carrying out cutting-edge scientific research.   \n*Reception to follow \nLivestream\nThis event also will be available via a free Livestream.

SUMMARY:The Science of Sleep and Dreams
DESCRIPTION:We spend about a third of our lives in altered states of consciousness\, commonly known as sleep. Despite spending so much of our time devoted to this activity (more than any other\, over a lifetime)\, we are just beginning to understand why we sleep and what is going on in the brain while we do so. In this talk\, we will review what sleep is\, why it is essential for memory\, decision making\, creativity\, and emotional health as well as how to improve sleep and thus live your best life in 2020. Also\, we will discuss the phenomenon of dreams\, what influences them and their role in psychological health from a scientific perspective.\n\n\n\n\n\nPascal Wallisch serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor at NYU. His research interests are at the intersection of Psychology and Neuroscience\, specifically Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience.

SUMMARY:Taste of Science: Flu Season
DESCRIPTION:Achoo! If you’re not feeling too under the weather\, come join us at Ryan’s Daughter for an evening all about influenza. Learn about how researchers trace flu pandemics back to their animal sources\, and about efforts to generate a universal flu vaccine. Play our trivia game and win special flu-related prizes! \nDoors open 7pm\, Event begins 7:30pm \nSpeakers:\nDr. Nacho Mena\n“Finding the swine cousin of the virus that started the 2009 influenza pandemic” \nDr. Nacho Mena obtained his PhD. in Molecular Biology in 1996 at Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (Spain) with studies about the influenza virus. After that he has worked at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla (California)\, at the Institut Pasteur in Paris (France) and at the Center for Research in Animal Health (CISA-INIA) in Madrid (Spain). In 2011 he moved to New York and joined the prestigious group of Dr. Adolfo Garcia-Sastre where he holds the position of Research Assistant Professor. \nThrough his 25+ years of research experience Dr. Mena has studied several viral pathogens of great importance for human and animal health\, such as Influenza Virus\, Coxsackievirus\, Noroviruses\, Classical Swine Fever Virus and Newcastle Disease Virus\, among others. His current work at Mount Sinai includes the study of influenza virus diversity in animals and humans\, and the genetic manipulation of influenza and Newcastle Disease Viruses for vaccine development\, basic virology research and oncolytic therapy. \nDr. Florian Krammer\n”Influenza viruses and vaccines” \nFlorian Krammer\, PhD\, graduated from the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences\, Vienna\, Austria. He received his postdoctoral training in the laboratory of Peter Palese at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai\, New York working on hemagglutinin stalk-based immunity and universal influenza virus vaccines. In 2013 he became an independent principal investigator and is currently Professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Dr. Krammer’s work focuses on understanding the mechanisms of interactions between antibodies and viral surface glycoproteins and on translating this work into novel\, broadly protective vaccines and therapeutics. The main target is influenza virus but he is also working on Zika virus\, hantaviruses\, filoviruses and arenaviruses.

SUMMARY:The Big Thaw: Ancient Carbon\, Modern Science\, and a Race to Save the World
DESCRIPTION:Permafrost—dark\, ice-flaked\, permanently frozen ground that lies under tundra and boreal forests across our northern regions—covers more than 12 percent of the earth’s land surface. It exists in places that seem otherworldly and unimaginably remote to most of us\, but the changes taking place in the permafrost layer may ultimately affect the lives of every person on Earth. \nThe permafrost layer contains a vast store of ancient carbon\, more than four times the quantity found in all of today’s forests. It is like a ticking “carbon bomb”\, releasing carbon dioxide and methane as the permafrost thaws. Braving hordes of mosquitoes\, quicksand\, and extreme temperatures\, researchers are racing against the clock to educate us about the changes we must make to preserve Earth’s carbon balance. \nArctic scientist Max Holmes and photographer Chris Linder will share stories about their work studying and photographing thawing permafrost in Siberia and the Arctic. Their new book The Big Thaw: Ancient Carbon\, Modern Science\, and a Race to Save the World will be available for purchase and signing after the presentation.

SUMMARY:Jason Haber – Futurecity: A Look at the Past\, Present\, and Future of NYC and Cities Around the World
DESCRIPTION:For the first time in history\, more people live in cities than in rural areas. By 2050\, another 2 billion people will occupancy our planet\, with two-thirds of them living in cities. While we have reached unprecedented population growth\, our planet is under siege and many of our cities\, including our own\, are ill-prepared for the coming storm. From climate change\, infrastructure\, housing\, health care and transportation\, cities will face historic challenges to meet the demands of the 21st century. How do cities meet these challenges and thrive in the face of them? In FutureCity\, Jason takes the audience through the history of cities\, and explores contemporary issues that are key to their survival and success. For New York\, this requires a further embrace of Jane Jacobs\, while moving on from the cen-centric policies of Robert Moses. \nJason Haber is a serial and social entrepreneur.
