SUMMARY:Biohack the World: Oral Microbiome and The Mouth-Body Connection
DESCRIPTION:As we advance our understanding of the oral microbiome\, there’s been a tremendous shift in how we approach dentistry and overall health. Clinical awareness and science show us that what happens in the mouth is reflected in the body\, and what happens in the body is reflected in the mouth. The complex\, dynamic relationships of oral and systemic health within the context of the whole person are inseparable. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for our 18th installment of Biohack the World as we dive deep in holistic dental care\, how the mouth and body are inextricably linked\, and the future of dentistry. \nArrive at 6pm for a Tasty Elixir from our Elixir Bar to connect with the community. \nSpeakers: Dr. Gerry Curatola and Avisha NessAiver \nHosted by David Choi.

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.

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.

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.
