This talk will provide reasons for and the process behind outgoingnyc.com, the challenges of the amateur historian, and the possible locations of new NYC gay neighborhoods. This talk will go into some technical detail behind mapping and explore why mapping it is important to the community.

How North America got its shape - Peter J. Haproff

North America didn’t always have its familiar shape, nor its famed mountains, canyons, and plains: all of that was once contained in an unrecognizable mass, buried deep in Rodinia, a huge supercontinent that lay on the face of the Earth. Peter J. Haproff explains how it took millions of years and some incredible plate tectonics to forge the continent we know today.

Conor Cunningham: What is theology telling the story with an apple with Conor Cunningham

source: University of Nottingham 2016年5月24日
Dr Conor Cunningham tells the story of the ways we can look at an apple. A piece of fruit, a quick healthy snack, but also the starting point for a more involved understanding of the universe and why there is 'something rather than nothing'. Theology is about making connections, matters of ultimate concern to humans, and god-talk - theology -is part of us.

Summer Science Exhibition 2016: Giving stem cells a good (nano)kicking

source: The Royal Society 2016年6月9日
A little kick that could get stem cell therapies moving.
Stem cells – which can turn into many different types of specialised cells – have the potential to revolutionise the treatment of many diseases and injuries. However, persuading stem cells to specialise into the tissue type we desire is a real challenge. Our exhibit reveals a new technique that is helping to overcome this problem; using nanoscale vibrations to control cell behaviour.
Our free, week-long festival (Monday 4 July - Sunday 10 July) features 22 curated exhibits and a series of inspiring talks and activities for all ages.

John Preskill “Holographic Quantum Codes”

source: Yale University 2016年5月17日
Leigh Page Prize Lectures, hosted by Yale Department of Physics and Yale Quantum Institute
John Preskill, Richard P. Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics, California Institute of Technology, “Holographic Quantum Codes”
Two of the most amazing ideas in physics are the holographic principle and quantum error correction. The holographic principle asserts that all the information contained in a region of space is encoded on the boundary of the region, albeit in a highly scrambled form. Quantum error correction is the foundation of our hope that large-scale quantum computer can be operated to solve hard problems. I will argue that these two ideas are closely related, and will describe quantum codes which realize the holographic principle. These codes provide simplified models of quantum spacetime, opening new directions in the study of quantum gravity, though many questions remain.
