SUMMARY:Jessica Valenti and Jaclyn Friedman: Believe Me
DESCRIPTION:Harvey Weinstein. Brett Kavanaugh. Jeffrey Epstein. Donald Trump. The most infamous abusers in modern American history are being outed as women speak up to publicly expose behavior that was previously only whispered about — and it’s both making an impact\, and sparking a backlash. From the leading\, agenda-setting feminist editors of Yes Means Yes\, Believe Me brings readers into the evolving landscape of the movement against sexual violence\, and outlines how trusting women is the critical foundation for future progress. \nIn Believe Me\, contributors ask and answer the crucial question: What would happen if we didn’t just believe women\, but acted as though they matter? If we take women’s experiences of online harassment seriously\, it will transform the internet. If we listen to and center survivors\, we could revolutionize our systems of justice. If we believe Black women when they talk about pain\, we will save countless lives. \nMoira Donegan is a writer and feminist living in New York. She is an opinion columnist at the Guardian and a former editor of n+1 and the New Republic. Her work has appeared in the New York Times\, the London Review of Books\, the Paris Review\, and elsewhere. \nJaclyn Friedman is a popular speaker and opinion writer and the host of “Unscrewed\,” named a Best Sex Podcast by both Marie Claire and Esquire. \nMatt Lubchansky is the associate editor of the Nib and a cartoonist and illustrator living in Queens. Their work has appeared in VICE\, Eater\, Mad magazine\, Go-thamist\, the Toast\, the Hairpin\, Brooklyn Magazine\, and their long-running webcomic Please Listen to Me.

SUMMARY:Lequeu\, Exceptional Draftsman?
DESCRIPTION:If it were not for his drawings at the Bibliothèque nationale de France\, Jean-Jacques Lequeu would be a simple footnote in the history of late eighteenth-century French architecture.  Lequeu’s drawings reflect the way architects of his generation tended to rely more heavily on graphic communication than on textual or theoretical means of expressing their ideas.  Lequeu established a specific and original dialogue between text and image that allowed him to question and distort the graphic language set by his colleagues. Join Basile C. Baudez\, Assistant Professor at Princeton University\, for a presentation contextualizing Lequeu’s production in the history of architectural draftsmanship and to uncover the reasons why he remains one of the most fascinating artists of his time. \nThe exhibition Jean-Jacques Lequeu: Visionary Architect. Drawings from the Bibliothèque nationale de France will be open at 5:30 PM for program attendees.

SUMMARY:The Hard Problem of Consciousness: Philosophical Discussion\, TED Circle
DESCRIPTION:Historically\, one of the toughest nuts to crack in both philosophy and science has been the so-called “hard problem of consciousness”: How is it possible for the hard-wiring of our brain to produce inner perception\, sentient experience\, and self-awareness? \nIt’s a much more difficult conundrum to solve than one might expect upon first glance. \nBecause science is inherently objective\, while consciousness is subjective\, it has been very difficult for experts working from both sides of the divide to bridge this gap – to explain the precise mechanisms of conscious experience. \nBefore arriving at this event\, take a peek at the following video: \n“How Do You Explain Consciousness?” – David Chalmers – https://youtu.be/uhRhtFFhNzQ \nA brief presentation will be given to start this event – summarizing some of the prevailing research and viewpoints on the Hard Problem of Consciousness. \nWe will then explore a number of interesting extensions of this topic together. \nPLEASE FEEL FREE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ACTIVE DISCUSSION\, OR SIMPLY COME TO LISTEN – based upon your own comfort level with this topic and its many facets. This is a highly complex subject\, and everyone is most welcome to join us at this event!

SUMMARY:Philippe Lançon on Disturbance: Surviving Charlie Hebdo
DESCRIPTION:Writer and Charlie Hebdo columnist Philippe Lançon survived the last day of his life—January 7\, 2015. But his jaw\, mangled by a terrorist’s bullet\, required countless operations and long hospital stays to repair. Throughout months of reconstructive surgeries\, he turned to Kafka\, Mann\, and Proust to better understand who he’s become and remember who he was before the attack. \nDisturbance: Surviving Charlie Hebdo\, translated from the French by Steven Rendall\, is Lançon’s powerful and award-winning memoir of his grueling medical struggle and emotional recovery. As part of his first U.S. tour\, he will speak to writer Dinaw Mengestu and Michael Reynolds\, editor-in-chief of Europa Editions\, about why literature was an essential part of his remarkable and transformative journey.

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:Unmasking Mengele
DESCRIPTION:One of the most notorious war criminals of all time\, Dr. Josef Mengele has come to symbolize both the evil of the Nazi regime and the failure of justice in the postwar world. \nDrawing on new scholarship and sources\, historian David G. Marwell examines Mengele’s life and career\, chronicling his university studies\, which led to two PhDs and a promising career as a scientist; his wartime service\, in combat and at Auschwitz\, where his “selections” determined the fate of countless innocents and his “scientific” pursuits resulted in the traumatization and death of thousands more; and his postwar refuge in Germany and South America. Mengele describes the international search in 1985\, which ended in a cemetery in São Paulo\, Brazil\, and the dogged forensic investigation that produced overwhelming evidence that Mengele had died—but failed to convince those who\, arguably\, most wanted him dead. This is a story of science without limits\, escape without freedom\, and resolution without justice. \nA book signing follows the event.

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.

SUMMARY:It’s Time to Expand Nuclear Power with Bill Nye
DESCRIPTION:For decades\, the development of nuclear power has sparked staunch debate among scientists\, politicians\, and activists alike. For its proponents\, the promise of nuclear energy is clear: It’s the most effective means of reducing greenhouse gases and combating climate change while still meeting the world’s growing demand for energy. And to date\, nuclear energy produces approximately 10% of the world’s power and rakes in billions in revenue in the United States alone. But its critics argue that expanding nuclear energy is dangerous and ill-advised. They cite the high costs of building powerplants\, the potential consequences of a meltdown\, and the challenge of managing waste. Rather\, they argue\, we should look to wind and solar to meet our energy demands. Should nuclear energy fuel our future? \n\nKEYNOTE CONVERSATION\n\n\n\nBill Nye\nScientist and CEO of the Planetary Society\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTHE DEBATERS FOR THE MOTION\n\n\n\n\nKirsty Gogan\nCo-founder and Executive Director of Energy for Humanity\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Poneman\nPresident and CEO of Centrus Energy\n\n\n\n\n\nAGAINST THE MOTION\n\n\nGregory B.

SUMMARY:How to Keep Your Cool
DESCRIPTION:In his essay “On Anger\,” the Roman Stoic thinker Seneca argues that anger is the most destructive passion. \nThis lecture\, from James Romm\, editor\, translator\, and Professor of Classics at Bard College offers us a timeless guide to avoiding and managing anger. It vividly illustrates why the emotion is so dangerous and why controlling it would bring vast benefits to individuals and society. \nSeneca’s thoughts on anger have never been more relevant than today\, when uncivil discourse has increasingly infected public debate. Whether seeking personal growth or political renewal\, readers will find\, in Seneca’s wisdom\, a valuable antidote to the ills of an angry age. \nA book signing follows the event.
