As Carl Sagan once said, "We are made of star stuff." However, each element has its own astronomical origins story. Elements are created everywhere from the centers of stars, to supernovae explosions, to the Big Bang itself. Dr. Drout will take us on a journey through the periodic table, highlighting how our recent discovery of a 'kilonova' associated with the cataclysmic merger of two neutron stars has filled in one of the final pieces of the elemental puzzle—the origin of many of the heaviest elements in the universe. #StarStuff Dr. Maria Drout, Hubble, Carnegie-Dunlap Fellow, Carnegie Observatories About the Carnegie Astronomy Lecture Series: The Carnegie Observatories is proud to partner with The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens for the 16th season of the Carnegie Astronomy Lecture Series.

5/22/2018 Multimodality (Echo/CT/MRI/Nuclear) Imaging Conference “Latest Advances in CMR Techniques and Future Applications” Presentation by: Dr. Dipan Shah

The credo of the Internet Society is "The Internet is for Everyone." As we look to connect the three billion that still do not have access, fostering community networks has become a priority. While finance, equipment, and training are crucial, in many case such networks are hindered by adverse rgulatory environments. And, while there is an obvious emphasis in hooking up folks in far flung places, there are still many unserved, or underserbed, in cities, even in New York. In fact, NYC through the pioneering efforts of such as the NYC Wireless, the Red Hook Initiative, Silicon Harlem. NYC Mesh, and now a new cluster of RISE projects, is leading the way in establishing urban community networks. Cities have their own unique characteristics - in spectrum and logistics. This half-day conference, part of the IGF USA ON THE ROAD series, and hosted by the Internet Society's New York Chapter (ISOC-NY) in partnership with the Federal Communications Bar Association (FCBA), is intended to serve as a summit for those involved in building community networks in NYC, and an opportunity to formulate the appropriate policy advocacy positions to advance this work. Confirmed speakers: Jane Coffin - Director, Development Strategy, Internet Society Jonathan Askin - Professor, Brooklyn Law School Clayton Banks, Co-founder, Silicon Harlem Greta Byrum, Co-Director, Digital Equity Laboratory, The New School Michael J. Santorelli, Director , Advanced Communications Law and Policy Institute (ACLP), New York Law School Zach Giles, NYC Mesh Melissa Sassi, Senior Project Manager - USA, Microsoft Airband Bruce Kushnick, New Networks Institute Stuart Reid & Doug Frazier, Streaming University Project We are actively looking for more speakers, please email admin@isoc-ny.org with subject May 22.
