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:Let's Talk About Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Think about all the times you’ve seen mental illness depicted on TV\, in movies\, and in the general media. How many times was it NOT mined for humor\, shock value\, horror\, or sensationalism? How often was it made HUMAN and REAL? Come to our show where we hope to explore and explode some of the myths that are still goin strong in 2019. \nThe show will feature performers\, all of whom will talk about their mental health journey. There will be audience participation in the form of Q&A after each performer speaks. \nSuggested donation of $10 that will be divided between National Alliance on Mental Illness and QED. \nLet’s Talk About Mental Health

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.

SUMMARY:Dying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment Is Killing America's Heartland
DESCRIPTION:With the rise of the Tea Party and the election of Donald Trump\, many middle- and lower-income white Americans threw their support behind conservative politicians who pledged to make life great again for people like them. As Jonathan Metzl shows\, the right-wing policies that resulted from this white backlash put these voters’ very health at risk—and in the end\, threaten everyone’s well-being. Having interviewed a range of Americans\, he uncovers how racial anxieties led to the repeal of gun control laws in Missouri\, stymied the Affordable Care Act in Tennessee\, and fueled massive cuts to schools and social services in Kansas. Although such measures promised to restore greatness to white America\, Metzl’s systematic analysis of health data dramatically reveals they did just the opposite: these policies made life sicker\, harder\, and shorter in the very populations they purported to aid. Thus\, white gun suicides soared\, life expectancies fell\, and school dropout rates rose. Based on his new book of the same title\, Metzl’s talk demonstrates just how much white America would benefit by emphasizing cooperation\, rather than by chasing false promises of supremacy. \nAbout the Speaker \nJonathan Metzl is the Frederick B. Rentschler II Professor of Sociology and Psychiatry\, and the Director of the Center for Medicine\, Health\, and Society\, at Vanderbilt University in Nashville\, Tennessee.

SUMMARY:Ultra-Spooky Action at a Distance: From Quantum Materials in the Lab to Black Holes
DESCRIPTION:The strangest feature of quantum theory was dubbed “spooky action at a distance” by Albert Einstein. Today\, scientists have convincing evidence that two quantum particles far apart can entangle with each other such that the observation of one can instantaneously determine the state of the other. \nIn this lecture\, Subir Sachdev will describe how this quantum feature is playing a central role in many modern developments in physics. Quantum entanglement can occur on a macroscopic scale with trillions of electrons\, leading to new forms of ‘ultra-quantum matter’ with properties of technological importance. In high-temperature superconductors\, such as YBa2Cu3O7\, there appears to be a ‘quantum critical point’ whose entanglement structure is being explored by experiment and theory. Related entanglement structures arise across black hole horizons\, and recent advances have shed new light on Stephen Hawking’s information paradox. Sachdev will use simple models of entanglement to describe these mutually beneficial developments across different fields of physics. \n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\nSubir Sachdev studied at the Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi\, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University. He is now the Herchel Smith Professor of Physics and department chair of physics at Harvard University.

SUMMARY:Secret Science Club Presents Structural Biologist Kevin Gardner
DESCRIPTION:The human body is made of trillions of cells. Inside each cell\, it’s as busy as the subway system with a dismaying array of routes\, signals\, and ever-moving parts. Exploring these teeny-tiny living labyrinths is the mission of modern-day micronauts like Kevin Gardner. \nA biochemist and biophysicist\, Kevin Gardner has been unlocking the secrets inside cells for over two decades. As he dives into this microscopic world\, he visualizes how all-important cellular proteins look in three dimensions and studies how they react to different stimuli—all with the goal of learning how the human body works and finding new cures for diseases. \nAt the next Secret Science Club\, Dr. Gardner asks: \n–How do cells—bacteria\, plant\, and human—sense what is going on in the world around them? \n–What role does light play in the world of cells? What are “optogenetic tools”? How do they turn genes on and off? \n–How can understanding a cell’s reaction to stimuli\, such as light and oxygen levels\, be used to discover new biotech tools and cancer treatments? \nBEFORE & AFTER \n–Imbibe our macroscopic cocktail of the night\, the Inner Space \n–Sway to bio-themed tunes and feel the grooves at the cellular level \n–Stick around for the scintillating Q&A \nKevin Gardner is the Einstein Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry at the City College of New York\, and he is the Director of the Structural Biology Initiative at CUNY’s Advanced Science Research Center.
