SUMMARY:Sunday Science: Darwin’s Struggle\, The Evolution of the Origin of the Species
DESCRIPTION:In honor of Darwin’s Day\, we will be sharing this lush video produced by BBC Earth. It recounts the extensive research and deep thinking that ensued after Darwin’s famous trip to the Galapagos. Twenty years elapsed between his first thoughts about natural selection and the publishing of his seminal work\, The Origin of the Species. Those years were filled with family tragedy\, soul searching and conflict with the Church\, and hostility from other scientists. It is poignant that\, even today\, science sometimes is fighting to be heard and respected. \n  \nZoom link

SUMMARY:Sunday Science: Aircraft Design and Operation for Safety
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Bill Sample \nTopic: Aircraft Design and Operation for Safety \nTime:  10:00am Mountain Standard Time \nPlace:  ZOOM Meeting \nSummary:\nBill will discuss how safety statistics for aircraft compare to other forms of transportation.   Government agencies around the world regulate the design and operation of aircraft.  The regulations vary with the size of the aircraft and what it is used for. He will present the various design requirements\, pilot licensing\, and operating rules as they apply to tiny ultralight aircraft up through airliners. \nBio: \nBill has a BS in Electrical Engineering and an MS in Engineering Management.  He worked as an Avionics Systems Engineer for 38 years designing electronics for aircraft and space vehicles.  One of his responsibilities was insuring that the designs complied with world-wide government regulations that enforce safety requirements in the design and use of the equipment.  He has made good use of his designs by logging more than 7\,000 hours as a pilot.  He holds Air Transport and Flight Instructor ratings in single and multi-engine aircraft.  He has more than 120 students who have received various levels of FAA pilot licenses giving him insight into how pilots are trained for safety.  He earned college money working as an Air Taxi pilot where he flew under the FAA operating rules that insure safe operations when carrying passengers and cargo for hire. \n  \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/6911288841?pwd=OWg5T3pPNGI5emVPRTMwNzJ5T3BzUT09

SUMMARY:Sunday Science: Economics of Carbon Pricing
DESCRIPTION:  \nSpeaker: Sandra Long\nTopic: Economics of Carbon Pricing \nDescription: \nSandy’s presentation will discuss the economics behind carbon pricing and how it compares to alternative policy options.  As noted in the recent Washington Post Opinion piece entitled “America’s inaction on climate is getting embarrassing”: “The best climate tool available would be a carbon tax.” Can our carbon emission targets be achieved without a carbon fee? Sandy will examine the importance of returning 100% of the carbon revenue to households. Most Americans would receive a monthly dividend equal to\, or greater than their increased costs. As for U.S. businesses\, Sandy will discuss the Border Carbon Adjustment and its’ critical intent to avoid the loss of jobs internationally and to maintain U.S. competitiveness.\nBoth of Colorado’s U.S. Senators have advocated for Carbon Pricing in the Build Back Better Bill.  What made it in the final bill\, and what the future holds\, will be discussed. \n  \n  \nBio:   \nSandra Long grew up in Colorado then moved to Dallas for college. She holds an Electrical Engineering degree and a Master of Business Administration from Southern Methodist University. For most of her career she was a product manager in telecom and power\, including four years in the solar power industry. She retired a year ago from Hewlett Packard Enterprise\, after moving to Buena Vista in 2019.\nSandy is the Group Leader for the newly formed Chaffee County Chapter of Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL). She has been a volunteer with CCL since 2015 \nJoin Zoom Meeting

SUMMARY:Sunday Science: The Value of Research on Local Thistles
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. F. Leland Russell\nTopic: The Value of Research on Local Thistles \nDescription: \nThe question of what influences the size of plant populations\, including those in the Arkansas Valley\, is the topic for the next Central Colorado Humanist Sunday Science program on Nov. 7. \nThe program begins at 10 a.m.\, presented by Dr. F. Leland Russell. It will explore why some species are rare and others abundant\, as well as managing species and working to increase populations of endangered species. \nThe program will examine past and ongoing research in Colorado and Nebraska studying the impact of insect herbivores in limiting populations of the native Platte Thistle\, focusing on comparisons of the species’ status at the edge of its range in the Upper Arkansas River Valley to its range center in Nebraska. \nDr. Russell worked with scientist and Salida Humanist Dr. Svata Louda in her lab at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in post-doctoral research\, examining interactions between an exotic\, invasive thistle\, musk thistle\, and the native wavyleaf thistle\, both impacted by an exotic weevil introduced as a biological control for musk thistle. \nRussell majored in Biology at Carleton College in Minnesota\, and earned a PhD from the Botany Department at the University of Texas at Austin. Since 2005\, Russell has been a professor in the Biology Department at Wichita State University with research on the effects of herbivores\, both invertebrates and vertebrates\, upon plant populations. \n  \nBio Submitted by Speaker:   \nMy interest in plants\, animals and the natural world grew from the summers I spent with my grandfather on his cattle farm in central Missouri. I majored in Biology at Carleton College in Minnesota. I earned my PhD from the Botany Department at the University of Texas at Austin. My dissertation addressed effects of browsing and acorn consumption by white-tailed deer upon regeneration of Spanish oak\, an endemic oak species to central Texas. After teaching for a year at St. Edward’s University in Austin TX\, I joined Dr. Svata Louda’s lab at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln as a post- doctoral researcher. As a post-doc\, I collaborated with Dr. Louda and Dr. Tatyana Rand to examine indirect interactions between an exotic\, invasive thistle\, musk thistle\, and a native thistle\, wavyleaf thistle\, that were mediated by an exotic weevil\, introduced as biological control for musk thistle. Since 2005\, I have been a professor in the Biology Department at Wichita State University where my research continues to address effects of herbivores\, both invertebrates and vertebrates\, upon plant populations and to investigate spatial and temporal variation in herbivores’ effects on plants. \nJoin Zoom Meeting

SUMMARY:Sunday Science: The Problems With Today's High Potency THC Products
DESCRIPTION:Libby Stuyt\, MD\nSpeaker: Libby Stuyt\, MD\nTopic: The Problems with today’s high potency THC products \nDescription: \nWhen Colorado legalized medical marijuana in 2000\, the highest THC potency was 5 % in the plant and there were no concentrates. Concentrates began to appear in 2010 and have increased THC potency\, some above 90% THC. Because these products have been aggressively marketed as “medical” (without any research to document safety or efficacy)\, people think they are safe. We have a significant increase in adolescents and young adults using these products with negative consequences.\nAt the conclusion of this presentation\, participants should be able to: \n\nUnderstand how today’s marijuana is not like the marijuana they may have used in the past.\nDescribe the effect of THC on the developing brain.\nDiscuss how addiction happens and how addictive drugs work in the brain.\nDiscuss the role high potency THC cannabis plays in addiction\, anxiety\, depression\, suicide\, psychosis\, violence\, cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome\, and cognitive impairment.\nUnderstand the regulatory gaps in Colorado that have negatively affected our most vulnerable citizens and recent legislation that attempts to mitigate some of the consequences\n\nBio:   \nDr. Stuyt is a board-certified Addiction Psychiatrist and has worked in the addiction/behavioral health field since 1990. She was the Medical Director for the Circle Program\, a 90-day inpatient treatment program\, funded by the state of Colorado\, for persons with co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse who have failed other levels of treatment from June 1999 to May 2020. She was instrumental in helping the Circle Program to become tobacco free in January 2000 and has been a strong advocate of the need to address all addictions at the same time\, including tobacco\, to improve outcomes. She has been actively incorporating complementary treatments into treatment programs\, including the 5-point ear acupuncture NADA (National Acupuncture Detoxification Association) protocol and BST (Brain Synchronization Therapy)\, to help patients recover from addiction as well as trauma which often underlie addiction and chronic pain issues. Her current mission is to educate as many people as possible on the un-intended consequences of the commercialization of marijuana in Colorado\, focusing primarily on the deleterious effects of high potency THC on the developing brain. \nJoin Zoom Meeting
