SUMMARY:2026 Edward M. Scolnick Prize Lecture in Neuroscience with Liqun Luo
DESCRIPTION:The Scolnick Prize is awarded annually by the McGovern Institute to recognize outstanding advances in the field of neuroscience. The prize is named in honor of Edward M. Scolnick\, who stepped down as president of Merck Research Laboratories in December 2002 after holding Merck’s top research post for 17 years. Scolnick is now at the Broad Institute\, where he established the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research. He also served as a member of the McGovern Institute’s scientific advisory board. The prize\, which is endowed through a gift from Merck to the McGovern Institute\, consists of a $225\,000 award\, plus an inscribed gift. \nAbstract:  \nDeveloping brains use a limited number of cell-surface proteins to instruct wiring specificity of a much larger number of neurons and synapses. How is this feat achieved? How do different cell-surface proteins work together to assemble a functional circuit? To address these questions\, I will first describe our work using the fly olfactory circuit\, focusing on a recent study in which we rewired the circuit by altering the combinatorial code of cell-surface proteins. I will then discuss functions of similar cell-surface proteins in instructing wiring specificity of neural circuits in the mouse brain. \n  \nBio: \nLiqun Luo grew up in Shanghai\, China. He received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Science & Technology of China\, PhD from Brandeis University\, and postdoctoral training at UCSF. Since 1996\, Dr. Luo has been on the faculty of Stanford\, where he studies the assembly and function of neural circuits in fruit flies and mice. He has been teaching neurobiology to undergraduate and graduate students\, from which he wrote the widely used textbook “Principles of Neurobiology”. Dr. Luo is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, and a recipient of the 2025 National Academy of Science Award in the Neurosciences.

SUMMARY:The Correction of Misinformation | Binge Thinking
DESCRIPTION:Join us and grab a drink as a cognitive psychologist breaks down why misinformation spreads — and why correcting people is so difficult. \n\n\n\n\nWelcome to Binge Thinking! We host professors at local pubs to give talks on fascinating topics. \nTopic: The Correction of Misinformation\nSpeaker: Briony Swire-Thompson (Northeastern University) \nWhy do people continue believing things even after they’ve been proven false? \nIn an age of endless newsfeeds\, viral posts\, conspiracy theories\, and AI-generated content\, misinformation has become one of the defining problems of modern life. But according to cognitive psychologist Dr. Briony Swire-Thompson\, simply giving people the facts often isn’t enough. \nHer research explores the psychology behind belief formation\, resistance to evidence\, and why some corrections succeed while others completely fail. \nIn this talk\, Dr. Swire-Thompson will explain how misinformation changes the way we think — and what science says about how to actually correct it. \nTopics include: \nWhy people believe inaccurate information in the first place \nWhy some individuals resist changing their beliefs even when presented with strong evidence \nHow effective corrections and fact-checks are designed \nThe surprising limitations of fact-checking \nWhen corrections improve accuracy — and when they backfire \nThis talk combines psychology\, media\, politics\, and cognitive science to explore one of the biggest challenges of the internet age. \nAgenda:\n7:00 PM – Doors Open\, drinks and socializing\n7:30 PM – Lecture begins\n8:10 PM – Audience Q&A\n8:30-9:00 PM – More drinks and conversation \nCome meet curious people\, grab a drink\, and learn something new. \nThink Responsibly.

SUMMARY:Designing Materials that Fuel Human Creativity | Binge Thinking
DESCRIPTION:What if materials could help you create? Learn how they become creative partners across fashion\, networks\, music\, and creativity research. \n\n\n\n\nWelcome to Binge Thinking! We bring professors and experts into bars to share talks on fascinating ideas and topics that just makes you binge think.\nWe usually think of materials as things we use. Passive. Fixed. Predictable. But what if materials could participate in the creative process with us? \nAcross human-computer interaction\, fashion design\, network science\, music\, and creativity research\, a new idea is emerging: materials don’t just support creativity… they can actively shape it. \nIn this talk\, Bolor Amgalan explores how materials are shifting from static matter into responsive\, evolving\, agentic creative partners. \nThe result? \nMaterials that adapt and respond over time\, rather than staying fixed\nCreative systems where interaction becomes a dialogue instead of a command\nNew design workflows where tools evolve alongside the designer\nA rethinking of “digital materials” as a living creative medium \nIn this talk\, you’ll learn about Bolor Amgalan’s research on Designing Agentic Materials that Support Human Creativity.\nHer work draws from human-computer interaction\, fashion design\, network science\, music\, and creativity research to explore: \nHow materials can be reframed as active participants in creative work rather than passive substances or interfaces? \nWhat the Processual Material Design framework is\, and how it enables materials that evolve\, respond\, and collaborate over time? \nWhat kinds of design spaces open up when virtual materials are treated as a new creative medium\, and how designers can meaningfully activate those spaces? \nBecause the future of design may not be about controlling materials… but collaborating with them. \nAbout the Speaker\nBolor Amgalan is an Associate Teaching Professor at Northeastern University’s College of Arts\, Media and Design (CAMD). Her work sits at the intersection of human-computer interaction\, computational design\, and creative systems. \nHer current research explores agentic and processual material systems\, focusing on how designers can create materials that evolve\, respond\, and participate in creative workflows over time. \nShe draws from interdisciplinary fields including fashion design\, network science\, music\, and creativity research to develop new frameworks for understanding materials as dynamic participants in the creative process.

SUMMARY:Poetry Night - Where Science Speaks in Verse
DESCRIPTION:Poetry is coming to the Museum of Science because some of the most profound discoveries begin not in a lab\, but in language. In a year dedicated to revolutionary science\, we are expanding the conversation to explore the intersection of art and inquiry. Emotions like grief\, joy\, wonder\, and love are more than just fleeting experiences; they are biological and neurological realities that shape every decision we make and every connection we form. This summer\, SubSpace presents a unique gathering that examines how two of humanity’s most enduring tools—science and poetry—have always been in a secret conversation with one another\, helping us navigate the deep complexities of the human condition. \nThis special evening offers a space to reflect on how language gives shape to our inner lives and how creativity often illuminates truths that traditional research is still working to define. Boston has long been a city where innovation and culture breathe the same air\, and this event brings that legacy to life in a new\, more poetic way. Whether you are a lover of the arts or a student of the sciences\, you are invited to witness how these two worlds meet to explore what it means to feel and how we find meaning in everyday life. \nJoin us for a night where science speaks in verse and creativity opens new doors to understanding the world around us.

SUMMARY:Comparative Neuroscience: Lessons from Biodiversity
DESCRIPTION:The Picower Institute Fall 2026 Symposium “Comparative Neuroscience: Lessons from Biodiversity”\nAnimal behavior is incredibly diverse\, from insect to human societies; from jellyfish jet propulsion to flying bats. This symposium will bring together scientists with distinct perspectives to examine how nervous systems are organized across species and how these organizational principles relate to mechanisms of nervous system evolution. We will explore questions such as: to what extent do diverse nervous systems share common principles\, and when they do\, why? What can we learn from species differences? – for example\, why are some brains more regenerative than others? How does evolution alter the nervous system to generate novel behaviors? – and how do we compare neural networks across species and levels of complexity to ask such questions? With speakers ranging from evolutionary biology to computational neuroscience\, we expect this to be an exciting and thought-provoking day of science.
