SUMMARY:Uncovering the Neural Circuit Mechanisms of Spontaneity
DESCRIPTION:Uncovering the neural circuit mechanisms of spontaneity\nPresented by Allison Hamilos\, Fellow\, Whitehead Institute\nThursday\, Nov.  14\, 2024\n4:00 – 5:00 PM\nIn this webinar\, Whitehead Fellow Allison Hamilos will discuss how her lab is using clues from human disease to understand how our brains enable spontaneous behavior. She will demonstrate how the moment-by-moment signaling of dopamine neurons influences both our perception of time and our ability to self-generate movements. Additionally\, she will explain how these new insights can help us better understand the many mysterious symptoms that arise in neurodegenerative conditions\, such as Parkinson’s disease. \nLive webinar with audience Q&A. \nModerator \nDavid Page\, Member\, Whitehead Institute\nProfessor of Biology\, MIT\nInvestigator\, Howard Hughes Medical Institute \n\nRegistration Link https://www.eventzilla.net/e/uncovering-the-neural-circuit-mechanisms-of-spontaneity-2138644566

SUMMARY:P. J. E. Peebles at the Harvard Science Center
DESCRIPTION:Harvard Book Store\, the Harvard University Division of Science\, and the Harvard Library welcome P. J. E. Peebles—Nobel Prize–winning physicist and the Albert Einstein Professor of Science Emeritus in the Department of Physics at Princeton University—for a discussion of his book The Whole Truth: A Cosmologist’s Reflections on the Search for Objective Reality. \nTicketing\nThere are two ticket options available for this event. \nFree General Admission Ticket: Includes admission for one. \nBook-Included Ticket: Includes admission for one and one paperback copy of The Whole Truth \nAbout The Whole Truth\nFrom the Nobel Prize–winning physicist\, a personal meditation on the quest for objective reality in natural science \nA century ago\, thoughtful people questioned how reality could agree with physical theories that kept changing\, from a mechanical model of the ether to electric and magnetic fields\, and from homogeneous matter to electrons and atoms. Today\, concepts like dark matter and dark energy further complicate and enrich the search for objective reality. The Whole Truth is a personal reflection on this ongoing quest by one of the world’s most esteemed cosmologists. \nWhat lies at the heart of physical science? What are the foundational ideas that inform and guide the enterprise? Is the concept of objective reality meaningful? If so\, do our established physical theories usefully approximate it? P. J. E. Peebles takes on these and other big questions about the nature of science\, drawing on a lifetime of experience as a leading physicist and using cosmology as an example. He traces the history of thought about the nature of physical science since Einstein\, and succinctly lays out the fundamental working assumptions. Through a careful examination of the general theory of relativity\, Einstein’s cosmological principle\, and the theory of an expanding universe\, Peebles shows the evidence that we are discovering the nature of reality in successive approximations through increasingly rigorous scrutiny. \nA landmark work\, The Whole Truth is essential reading for anyone interested in the practice of science.
