SUMMARY:Thomas More's Utopia
DESCRIPTION:Using Thomas More’s Utopia as our foundation\, we’ll examine our own state of mental and emotional health in present day society during this living room Olio event with professor Patricia Kim. \n​Why does the future look so bleak? And what does that have to do with the state of our individual and collective mental health? \nMuch of the dialogue in this Olio will be about our own state of mental and emotional affairs. History is a collection of traumatic events that have been scripted in human blood and mortality and we have all been dropped into its narrative miasma. This makes for a great deal of stress that we will collectively take on in an ad hoc group therapy modality. We will use Thomas More’s ‘Utopia’ to frame our undeniably parallel social issues and better understand not just the text\, but ourselves as individuals. We’ll begin by examining trauma and its aftermath (both historically and presently) and end with examining the following NYC Dept. of Health’s statistic: that 1 in 5 New Yorkers has a mental disorder. We will then look at how depression and anxiety (two of the most prevalent diagnoses) have affected our present\, and perhaps\, more importantly\, their effects on our collective future. \nQuestions to think about: \nWhat are More’s thoughts on social ills and their relationship to mental illness? What are yours?\nWould More be surprised at the state of our society today? Why or why not? \nWhat are the ways in which we can collectively work to become a healthier community/society? \nAbout the Teacher: \nPatricia Kim received her MFA from Columbia University and teaches Composition and Literature classes at Baruch College while completing a novel.

SUMMARY:Saad Amer: Climate Action: Why Collective Action is The Answer
DESCRIPTION:With wildfires in California\, devastating hurricanes across the Atlantic\, and record temperatures across the US\, climate change is more visible than ever.

SUMMARY:Don’t Be Evil: Rana Foroohar
DESCRIPTION:In the early days\, when Google was a scrappy upstart with a utopian vision of transforming the world for the better through tech\, its mantra was “Don’t be evil.” But they and other behemoths of the tech world—including Amazon\, Facebook\, and Apple—have long since abandoned their founding principles in the name of monetizing both our data and our attention through digital surveillance\, privacy breaches\, predatory algorithms\, and products designed to manipulate our desires. Don’t Be Evil is acclaimed journalist Rana Foroohar’s investigation of the dark turn tech has taken from weaving our social fabric to undoing it.

SUMMARY:Perception Meets Memory: A New View on Memory Disorders
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Morgan Barense\, PhD\, Professor and Canada Research Chair\, University of Toronto\, Director\, Toronto Neuroimaging Facility\n\n\nHow does perceiving an object relate to subsequent memory for that object? A central assumption in most modern theories of memory is that memory and perception are functionally and anatomically segregated. For example\, amnesia resulting from medial temporal lobe (MTL) lesions is traditionally considered to be a selective deficit in long-term declarative memory with no effect on perceptual processes. This view is consistent with a popular paradigm in cognitive neuroscience\, in which the brain is understood in terms of a modular organization of cognitive function. The work Dr. Morgan Barense will present offers a new perspective. Guided by computational modelling complemented with neuropsychology and neuroimaging\, Dr. Barense will provide support for the notion that memory and perception are inextricably intertwined\, relying on shared neural representations and computational mechanisms. Dr. Barense will then describe how this new framework can improve basic understanding of cognitive impairments observed in Alzheimer’s disease\, as well as guide development of new diagnostic procedures for those at risk for dementia.

SUMMARY:Secret Science Club Presents Marine Biologist & Explorer David Gruber
DESCRIPTION:Just returned from an expedition exploring the frigid waters underneath the ice in Greenland\, David Gruber typically spends about two months of the year conducting undersea research—scuba diving or riding in tiny submersible vehicles that allow him to spend hours below the surface. \nDr. Gruber tries to see the ocean through the eyes of sea creatures and lately\, he’s particularly interested in how these animals communicate. He asks: Can we learn how to talk to whales using artificial intelligence? What are fish “saying” with biofluoresence and bioluminescence? How can we use new technology to understand undersea species? \nDavid Gruber is a marine biologist and professor at Baruch College at the City University of New York and CUNY Graduate Center. He is an Explorer for National Geographic and a researcher at the American Museum of Natural History.

SUMMARY:Midcentury Stereopanorama with Eric Drysdale: Look and see the 1950s in 3-D!
DESCRIPTION:For the last 20 years\, writer and comedian Eric Drysdale has been collecting photographs from the 1950s taken by amateurs with the Stereo Realist 3-dimensional camera system.  This remarkable technology was something like the ‘50s version of virtual reality\, pairing Kodak’s Kodachrome film with a precision viewer to deliver uncannily realistic\, full-color\, three-dimensional images. Think of it as an IMAX View-Master.\n\nDuring the Stereo Realist’s heyday in the early 1950s\, the mass-market 3-D camera was being used in hundreds of thousands of American households —but the technology has been largely forgotten.\n\nEric has narrowed his collection of tens of thousands of these amazing images to about 150 of the best\, and you’ll see them the way they were meant to be seen – in fully-restored high-quality vintage stereoscopic viewers.

SUMMARY:Film Screening "DNA: The Secret of Photo 51" and Q&A
DESCRIPTION:In 1952\, Dr. Rosalind Franklin was remarkably close to unraveling the mysteries of DNA and the building blocks of life itself. When her groundbreaking work was shared without her knowledge or permission\, it was used by Drs. Crick and Watson as the foundation of the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA\, for which they won a Nobel Prize. \nDNA: The Secret of Photo 51 is a compelling documentary that investigates Dr. Franklin’s work and the crucial\, yet largely unacknowledged role she played in one of the most important discoveries in scientific history. \nPlease join The New York Academy of Medicine for a screening of this important film\, followed by a discussion with Dr. Cecily Cannan Selby and Dr. Robert Ruben.

SUMMARY:Performing Knowledge: What Does Learning Feel Like?
DESCRIPTION:What can knowledge feel or look like? How might it move us? What might the emotional and aesthetic effects of knowledge be\, in addition to the cognitive? How does one know or come to know? What place do repetition\, gesture\, rhythm\, mimesis\, rehearsal\, meditation\, and travel have in knowledge? \nNow in its second year\, Performing Knowledge is a one-day festival of knowledge performances that accommodate and celebrate contradiction\, that find their meaning in specific social contexts\, and that may end with a question mark. Prominent scholars and graduate students across disciplines come together to reframe research and knowledge as happy human and intrinsically social occasions. \nThroughout the day\, GC CUNY students and faculty will present their research as 20-30 minute lecture performances. Check website for schedule updates.
