SUMMARY:Central Colorado Celebrates Darwin Day 2018!
DESCRIPTION:The Central Colorado Humanists are hosting a special celebration in honor of Charles Darwin’s 209th birthday and International Darwin Day. Every year at this time groups all over the world celebrate Charles Darwin’s many contributions to science. “The mission of International Darwin Day is to inspire people throughout the globe to reflect and act on the principles of intellectual bravery\, perpetual curiosity\, scientific thinking\, and hunger for truth as embodied in Charles Darwin.” – https://darwinday.org/about/ \nCome join us in the Pinon Room of the BV Community Center for this free and fascinating program\, which will include a showing of the PBS NOVA film “Life’s Rocky Start”\, followed by a discussion. All are welcome and refreshments will be served. Donations to the CCH scholarship fund will be gratefully accepted. \nSummary: “Four and a half billion years ago\, the young Earth was a hellish place – a seething chaos of meteorite impacts\, volcanoes belching noxious gases\, and lightning flashing through a thin\, torrid atmosphere. Then\, in a process that has puzzled scientists for decades\, life emerges. But how? NOVA joins mineralogist Robert Hazen as he journeys around the globe. From an ancient Moroccan market to the Australian Outback\, he advances a startling and counterintuitive idea – that the rocks beneath our feet were not only essential to jump-starting life\, but that microbial life helped give birth to hundreds of minerals we know and depend on today. It’s a theory of the co-evolution of Earth and life that is reshaping the grand-narrative of our planet’s story.” – http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/earth/life-rocky-start.html

SUMMARY:Darwin Day Bagel Brunch
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a delicious all-you-can-eat bagel brunch\, with a talk by guest speaker Dr. Jeffrey Silverman on “Exploding Stars\, Dark Energy\, and the Runaway Universe.” Some of the most energetic and fascinating objects in the Universe are exploding stars known as supernova. Observations of distant supernova provided the first evidence that the expansion of the Universe is speeding up with time\, rather than slowing down. This wholly unexpected phenomenon is likely due to a repulsive “dark energy” and has become one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in modern science. Before moving into the tech industry\, Jeffrey earned his PhD at UC Berkeley working on exploding stars and dark energy with Prof. Alex Fillipenko\, and was an NSF Astronomy & Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellow at UT Austin. This event is hosted by Kol Hadash: Northern California Community for Humanistic Judaism.  Public: $10/ea. Location: Albany COMMUNITY Center\, Rms I & II\, 1249 Marin Avenue\, Albany\, CA 94706.

SUMMARY:CRISPR: A New Genetic Engineering Technology: Promises and Perils
DESCRIPTION:Unlike CRISPR\, previous genetic engineering technologies were expensive and time-consuming. The ability to precisely edit the genome of nearly any organism has revolutionized biology\, medicine\, and agriculture. From curing deadly genetic disorders to engineering drought-resistant plants\, CRISPR genome editing technology will reshape modern medicine and equip us with tools to cope with a changing planet. Dr. Kevin Doxzen will unravel this groundbreaking technology and outline pressing questions that society is now forced to confront. We can now engineer humans\, but should we? \nDr. Kevin Doxzen is the Science Communications Specialist at the Innovative Genomics Institute (IGI). The IGI is an academic research partnership between UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco that aims to develop and deploy DNA engineering technologies to solve real-world problems. Kevin received his PhD from UC Berkeley in the lab of Jennifer Doudna\, who is credited with co-developing CRISPR technology. Dr. Doudna has called for a public conversation over the use of gene editing in humans and the impact this technology may have on future generations. \nThis lecture is in celebration of Darwin Day. Few scientific discoveries have impacted how we understand our surroundings and ourselves more than Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection. In honor of this contribution\, we will celebrate Darwin’s birthday with a luncheon\, starting at 12:15\, and this scientific lecture about a topic that is not only important for science but for human welfare as well. There will be a charge for the luncheon but the lecture\, starting at 1:00\, is free. \nThis event is sponsored by the Humanists and Non-Theists of the Unitarian Universalist Society of San Francisco.
