SUMMARY:Heading for Extinction and What to Do About It
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the strengths and weaknesses of our country and the global community’s ability to act in a time of crisis. The climate crisis is next\, and we need to act now to avoid total climate breakdown. Extinction Rebellion presents the climate science and how we can unite as a people and a global community to save our planet. \n“Heading For Extinction (and what to do about it)” is a talk that Extinction Rebellion requests all new members to attend when they become a part of the group. It’s a great way to learn about the science and connect with others who are wrestling with the same information. Even if you don’t want to join Extinction Rebellion\, this talk is a great introduction to what we’re facing in the next decade and needs to happen to prevent catastrophe. \nREGISTER HERE \nRun time 7 to 830pm EST.

SUMMARY:Life’s Engines: How Microbes Made Earth Habitable
DESCRIPTION:For almost four billion years\, microbes had the primordial oceans all to themselves. Over time\, they transformed the chemistry of our planet\, making it habitable for plants\, animals\, and humans. Paul Falkowski will discuss how microbes made life on Earth possible—and how human life would cease without them today. By examining the inner workings of these miniature “engines” and the processes by which they are built and assembled—like building blocks— within every creature that walks\, swims\, or flies\, he will reveal how microbes are the great stewards of life on Earth. \nPaul Falkowski\, Distinguished Professor\, Bennett L. Smith Chair in Business and Natural Resources\, Departments of Earth and Planetary Sciences and Marine and Coastal Sciences\, Rutgers University \n  \nLivestreaming \nThis event will be livestreamed on the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture Facebook page. \nA recording of this program will be available on the Harvard Museum of Natural History YouTube channel approximately three weeks after the lecture.

SUMMARY:Microbial Life: A Universe at the Edge of Sight
DESCRIPTION:Thriving all around\, and even within us\, is a minute universe of astonishing and diverse lifeforms so small\, they cannot be seen by the human eye. Everything from our food\, to the air we breathe\, to the forest ecosystem\, is based on the activity of microbes. These astonishing and diverse lifeforms that live inside and all around us are so small they cannot be seen by the human eye — until now. The Harvard Museum of Natural History presents a new\, unique exhibition\, Microbial Life: A Universe at the Edge of Sight. Taking museum visitors through a multi-sensory journey into this fascinating\, invisible realm\, the Microbial Life odyssey provides a unique opportunity to experience the wonders of microbial activity and the surprisingly stunning beauty of bacterial forms. From a full-scale model kitchen to captivating models from the Harvard Medical School\, visitors can delve into the fascinating\, invisible realm of microbes: Earth’s first inhabitants. \nThrough captivating displays of specimens and models from the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology and Harvard Medical School\, along with scheduled\, live demonstrations by Harvard students and researchers\, visitors can learn how microbes engage with the bodies of humans and animals of all sizes\, from termites to whales.

SUMMARY:Science by the Pint @ Aeronaut Brewery: How to artificially erase\, activate\, and create memories in the brain
DESCRIPTION:Science by the Pint is a free science café in which we invite a Boston-area research lab out to a pub or brewery to chat science over a cold one. The events are geared toward a general audience – all are welcome and no experience is necessary! \nThis week’s event features:\nDr. Steve Ramirez\,\nAssistant Professor\, Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences\nBoston University \nHow to artificially erase\, activate\, and create memories in the brain \nSteve Ramirez is interested in how memory works\, what one looks like in the brain\, and how to artificially manipulate them. Working with rodents\, his lab has been able to successfully visualize\, erase\, and activate both positive and negative memories\, as well as create false memories in the brain. More recently\, their work has focused on manipulating positive and negative memories to alleviate psychiatric disease-like symptoms in rodent models of PTSD\, depression\, and anxiety.

SUMMARY:How Mushrooms Changed the World
DESCRIPTION:Fungi receive little attention in mainstream media\, but these organisms have an enormous impact on ecosystems and on the production of food and pharmaceuticals. As decomposers\, fungi recycle nutrients and are key contributors to the global carbon cycle. David Hibbett will examine the diversity of fungal decay mechanisms and how they have evolved across geologic time. He will also address the controversial hypothesis that fungal evolution contributed to the decline in coal formation at the end of the Carboniferous Period\n \nDavid Hibbett\, Professor of Biology\, Clark University 2017–2018 Fellow\, Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study\, Harvard University \n\nFree and open to the public\nFree event parking at 52 Oxford Street Garage\nEvent details: https://www.facebook.com/events/193145944765949/ \nLivestreaming\nThis event will be livestreamed on the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture Facebook page. \nA recording of this program will be available on the Harvard Museum of Natural History YouTube channel approximately three weeks after the lecture.

SUMMARY:Modern Humans' Earliest Artwork and Music: New European Discoveries
DESCRIPTION:Randall White\, a professor in New York University’s Anthopology Department\, gives a seminar at Harvard’s Peabody Museum on prehistoric artistic and musical practices by Aurignacian peoples from 35\,000 years ago. \nFrom the event website: \nThe earliest evidence of artwork made by modern humans\, Aurignacian art\, was created more than 35\,000 years ago and has been found in French\, German\, and Romanian archaeological sites. Randall White will discuss the rich corpus of Aurignacian painting\, engraving\, bas-relief sculpture\, musical instruments\, and personal ornamentation that was studied before World War I
in southwest France\, along with recent discoveries from classic Aurignacian sites. He will also highlight how the combined study of archives\, long-forgotten museum collections—and even back dirt (excavated material)—is contributing
new discoveries and contextual data about early Eurasian expressive culture.
