SUMMARY:How Magic Works
DESCRIPTION:What does magic mean in the Information Age? The virtual world is becoming more essential and\, in some cases\, more important than the actual world. Over centuries\, magicians have experimented with the tension and possibilities created by what is actual versus what is perceived. What lessons can we learn from magic? In this talk\, magician Mark Mitton will explain to you how magic tricks work and what tools they might give us to survive in a society that asks us to act upon increasingly complex information. \nMark Mitton is a magician who is fascinated by using magic to better understand how we see the world. He performs at private functions and corporate events\, produces unique entertainment and educational programs around the world\, and explores the limits and potential of perception. His specialty is physical misdirection\, which can teach us about the surprises in science\, art and our daily lives.

SUMMARY:AMNH Presents: Our Cosmic Ballet
DESCRIPTION:All objects in the universe are in constant motion.\nThroughout our 13-billion-year history\, and looking forward into the not-so-distant future\, stars zip by each other\, space objects collide\, and galaxies merge. Astrophysicist Jackie Faherty uses the power of the Museum’s digital software to show guests the cosmic ballet of stars and galaxies as they dance around each other through time.

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:Micropolis: It’s Magic!
DESCRIPTION:The word “magician” might bring back memories of childhood birthday parties or somebody making the Statue of Liberty disappear on TV\, but magic is an ever-changing and diverse art form. \nJoin Micropolis host Arun Venugopal and meet some of the artists here in New York who are expanding the image of their craft well beyond a white man wearing a top hat\, such as Rajon Lynch\, director of the Houdini Museum of New York and Belinda Sinclair\, magicienne\, hypnotist and historian. There will be trickery\, prestidigitation\, and more than a few amazing moments.

SUMMARY:Taking on White Nationalist Violence
DESCRIPTION:Waves of white nationalist violence have spread across the nation\, from Charlottesville to Pittsburgh\, El Paso and beyond. Now\, a landmark lawsuit against the organizers of the 2017 Charlottesville march is taking on the leadership of this movement — asserting that they intentionally coordinated the violence that erupted\, thus breaking the law. \nLed by Roberta Kaplan (lead counsel on the Supreme Court case that led to the legalization of same-sex marriage) and Karen Dunn (a former federal prosecutor in Virginia)\, the legal action — filed against a broad range of neo-Nazis\, white supremacists and affiliated hate groups — exposes the individuals and organizations driving the wave of white supremacist hate and dismantles the infrastructure at the center of their movement. The suit is supported by the civil rights nonprofit Integrity First for America. \nJoin us for a discussion of the lawsuit and its potential to turn back the tide of hate with: \nRoberta Kaplan\, Co-Lead Counsel \nKaren Dunn\, Co-Lead Counsel  \nAmy Spitalnick\, Executive Director\, Integrity First for America  \nElizabeth Sines\, Plaintiff

SUMMARY:What Nostalgia Was: The History of a Deadly Emotion
DESCRIPTION:People once died of nostalgia. While we all recognize nostalgia when we see it\, and know that it “ain’t what it used to be\,” few of us are familiar with what it once was. This talk uncovers the forgotten medical history of nostalgia from the term’s invention in Switzerland in 1688 to the disease’s demise in colonial north Africa in the late nineteenth century. By tracing the scientific and social conditions of possibility of this deadly form of nostalgia\, Thomas Dodman seeks to grasp it as a specifically modern psychological condition and thus show the historicity of our emotions. \nEvent Speaker\nThomas Dodman is the Director of Undergraduate Studies and Assistant Professor of French at Columbia University. He is a historian of modern France and its empire. Thomas Dodman’s research grapples with forms and experiences of social change in the modern era.

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 Art of Reclaimed Wood
DESCRIPTION:Wood reclaimed from old houses\, factories\, barns\, and boardwalks has become a valuable commodity\, treasured for the patina that gives witness to its history. Today\, the woods are both preserved like the woods that frame The National Arts Club and reemerge through demolition. \nKlaas Armster and Alan Solomon are partners at Sawkill Lumber\, a Brooklyn-based supplier of reclaimed woods. Their recent book\, Reclaimed Wood\, A Field Guide\, published by Abrams Books\, is the first complete visual handbook to this popular resource\, covering history\, culture\, salvage\, contemporary uses\, and practical advice. \nJoin Armster and Solomon as they reveal the fascinating history and new uses of New York City’s hidden resource— reclaimed wood.
