SUMMARY:MBL Falmouth Forum: “The Horseshoe Crab: Ancient Mariner and Modern Medicine” - Michael Dawson\, Biologist
DESCRIPTION:Lectures are open to the public for in-person and virtual attendance. Free parking is available in any MBL lot. No registration required for in-person attendance. Doors open at 7:00 PM\, lectures start at 7:30 PM. \nLecture Abstract: Horseshoe crabs are iconic animals of Cape Cod with a fascinating biology\, some of which will be explored in this talk. Topics include their life cycle\, conservation status\, unique blood clotting mechanism\, and the discovery of Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) at the Marine Biological Laboratory. LAL testing has greatly benefited those who have received injectable therapies like vaccinations\, intravenous solutions\, and drugs\, as well as treatments with certain medical devices. Additionally\, the LAL test is used to diagnose suspected systemic fungal infections. \nMichael Dawson received an undergraduate degree in Zoology from the University of Wales and a Ph.D. from the Department of Oceanography at the University of Southampton\, both in the United Kingdom. Before graduate school\, he worked in Cambridge\, MA on the potential for marine bacteria to degrade oil in their environment. After earning his doctorate\, he taught Environmental Science for three years at the Roehampton Institute (now Roehampton University) in London. He then joined Associates of Cape Cod\, Inc. (ACC) in Falmouth\, MA\, where he worked for thirty years. During his time at ACC\, he advanced to Senior Vice President\, overseeing the production of reagents\, instrumentation\, and software. He concluded his career as the Director of Regulatory Affairs. While at ACC he gave presentations and taught courses around the world for organizations ranging from the Brazilian Pharmacopoeia to the Hyannis Rotary Club. He has served on the Horseshoe Crab Conservation Committee (now the Horseshoe Crab Conservation Association) on Cape Cod and the Advisory Panel to the Horseshoe Crab Management Board of the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission.

SUMMARY:MBL Falmouth Forum: “Untold Power: The Fascinating Rise and Complex Legacy of First Lady Edith Wilson” - Rebecca Roberts\, Author
DESCRIPTION:Lectures are open to the public for in-person and virtual attendance. Free parking is available in any MBL lot. No registration required for in-person attendance. Doors open at 7:00 PM\, lectures start at 7:30 PM.\nA book signing will follow the presentation \nLecture Abstract: While this nation has yet to elect its first woman president—and though history has downplayed her role—just over a century ago a woman became the nation’s first acting president. In fact\, she was born in 1872\, and her name was Edith Bolling Galt Wilson. She climbed her way out of Appalachian poverty and into the highest echelons of American power and in 1919 effectively acted as the first woman president of the U.S. (before women could even vote nationwide) when her husband\, Woodrow Wilson\, was incapacitated. Beautiful\, brilliant\, charismatic\, catty\, and calculating\, she was a complicated figure whose personal quest for influence reshaped the position of First Lady into one of political prominence forever. And still\, nobody truly understands who she was. \nRebecca Boggs Roberts is an award-winning educator\, author\, and speaker\, and is a leading historian of American women’s suffrage and civic participation. Her books include the award-winning The Suffragist Playbook: Your Guide to Changing the World; Suffragists in Washington\, D.C.: The 1913 Parade and the Fight for the Vote; and Historic Congressional Cemetery. She is currently deputy director of events at the Library of Congress and has previously worked as a journalist\, producer\, tour guide\, forensic anthropologist\, event planner\, political consultant\, jazz singer\, and radio talk show host. Roberts serves on the board of the National Archives Foundation\, on the Council of Advisors of the Women’s Suffrage National Monument Foundation\, and on the Editorial Advisory Committee of the White House Historical Association. She lives in Washington\, DC\, with her husband\, their three sons\, and a long-eared hound dog. \nJoin Us for Dinner\nAn optional buffet dinner precedes each Falmouth Forum lecture.\n6:00 PM: Swope Center\, 5 North Street\, Woods Hole\nTickets: $40/each or reserve a table of eight\nPurchase tickets at https://www.mbl.edu/events/falmouth-forum\nRegistration for the dinners close one week prior to the event.

SUMMARY:MBL Falmouth Forum: “Story and Community” - Jay Allison\, Founder of WCAI
DESCRIPTION:Lectures are open to the public for in-person and virtual attendance. Free parking is available in any MBL lot. No registration required for in-person attendance. Doors open at 7:00 PM\, lectures start at 7:30 PM. \nLecture Abstract: Stories bring us together and tear us apart. Wherever we live\, we are tied to our neighbors by vicinity if not by affinity. In Allison’s work he focuses on bringing the two together. In a divided time\, finding ways to listen is one protection against fighting; true narratives defend against false ones; connection is an antidote to polarization. Allison will talk about the hope he has for public media values in radio\, on the internet\, and in podcasting\, using examples from The Moth\, WCAI\, Transom.org\, and his favorite artists and producers. \nJay Allison is the founder\, collaborator\, host\, and producer of The Moth Radio Hour\, Atlantic Public Media\, Transom.org\, PRX.org\, This I Believe\, Lost & Found Sound\, and public radio station WCAI on Cape Cod where he lives. He has created hundreds of documentaries and received most of the broadcasting awards\, including the DuPont-Columbia Silver and Gold Batons and six Peabodys.

SUMMARY:MBL Friday Evening Lecture Series: “Expanding Health Insurance: What Does It Do and What Does That Mean?” Amy Finkelstein\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
DESCRIPTION:Lectures are open to the public for in-person and virtual attendance. No registration required for in-person attendance.\nDoors open at 7:30 PM\, lectures start at 8 PM. \nExpanding health insurance has been a major policy focus in the U.S. from the Truman era to Obamacare. But what does expanding health insurance actually do for those who receive it\, and how should future administrations prioritize further expansions relative to other policy goals\, such as basic income support? This presentation will use the Oregon Health Insurance Experiment – a landmark randomized controlled trial of the impact of covering low-income uninsured adults with insurance – to present some surprising findings on what health insurance does – and does not – do\, and how such results may challenge our thinking about different policy options going forward. \nAmy Finkelstein is the John & Jennie S. MacDonald Professor of Economics at MIT. Finkelstein’s areas of specialization are public finance and health economics. She has received numerous awards for her research\, including a MacArthur Foundation ‘Genius’ Fellowship (2018) and the John Bates Clark Medal (2012)\, given annually to the economist under the age of 40 who has made the most significant contribution to economic thought and knowledge. She has also received awards for graduate student teaching and graduate student advising at MIT. \nShe is the co-founder and co-Scientific Director of J-PAL North America\, a research center at MIT that encourages and facilitates randomized evaluations of important domestic policy issues\, the founding Editor of American Economic Review: Insights\, and the co-Director of the Economics of Health Program at the National Bureau of Economic Research. She is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Medicine. She also is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and of the Econometric Society. \nThe author of numerous peer-reviewed papers\, she is co-author (with Liran Einav) of We’ve Got You Covered: Rebooting American Health Care (Portfolio\, 2023) and co-author (with Ray Fisman and Liran Einav) of Risky Business: Why Insurance Markets Fail and What To Do About It (Yale University Press\, 2023). \nShe received her PhD in Economics from MIT in 2001\, an M.Phil in Economics from Oxford in 1997 where she studied as a Marshall Scholar\, and an A.B. in Government summa cum laude from Harvard in 1995. Prior to joining the MIT faculty in 2005\, she was a Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows. She is a proud alumna of the Woods Hole Children’s School of Science.

SUMMARY:MBL Friday Evening Lecture Series: “Attack of the Killer Plants!” Neelima Sinha\, University of California Davis
DESCRIPTION:Whether you’re in Woods Hole or halfway around the world\, join us for this venerable MBL lecture series. \nLectures are free and open to the public for in-person and virtual attendance. No registration required for in-person attendance. Doors open at 7:30 PM\, lectures start at 8 PM in the Cornelia Clapp Auditorium. \nThe lifestyle strategy for most plants is an autotrophic one—they generate their food by photosynthesis using atmospheric CO2 and sunlight. Other essential nutrients are obtained by absorption from the soil. But this is not a universal strategy\, and a subset of plants have either partially or totally given up photosynthesis and rely on animals or other plants for carbon and other nutrients. These plants make structures that trap insects or small mammals or penetrate other plant parts to obtain their nutrition. The trapping structures\, made by the first subset of plants\, called carnivorous plants\, are often leaf-derived. While the second subset\, called parasitic plants\, use unique organs called haustoria to penetrate host tissues to acquire nutrients. Both carnivorous and parasitic plants are ecologically interesting\, and no doubt play important roles in their unique ecological niches. However\, many parasitic plants have become major global agricultural threats leading to huge crop losses worldwide. They actively identify and parasitize their host plants and have sparked a flurry of research into the parasitism mechanisms they use so control strategies can be devised. \nNeelima Sinha is a Distinguished Professor in Plant Biology. During her MS in Botany at Lucknow University in India she focused on understanding the breadth of form in plants. During her doctoral studies in Botany at the University of California\, Berkeley she received multifaceted training in genetics and developmental biology. Her lab is interested in analyzing plant development from the molecular\, genetic\, and evolutionary perspective\, using model organisms like maize\, tomato\, and Arabidopsis\, as well as many non-model organisms. Her collaborative research has helped expand knowledge of the evolution of developmental mechanisms in plants\, and more recently move these phylogenetically anchored studies to understanding the evolution of plant drought and submergence stress responses. Recent work on plant-parasite interactions has resulted in elucidation of molecular mechanisms of parasitism and is helping establish intervention strategies in a crucial area of plant biology. A thorough understanding of plant growth and development phenomena will be crucial to being able to harness modern genetic tools for crop improvement\, and for producing better feed and fuel crops. She is a fellow of the AAAS and the American Society of Plant Biologists and was the recipient of the Pelton Award from the Botanical Society of America.

SUMMARY:MBL Friday Evening Lecture Series: “Going Where The Wild Things Are: Ocean Microbes\, Their Interactions\, and Ecosystem Consequences” - Alexandra Worden\, MBL & University of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:The oceans are teeming with life forms that are invisible to the naked eye – a myriad of microbes – some more like plants and even some quite related to humans! These organisms are responsible for many different ecosystem roles ranging from photosynthesis that underpins ocean food chains and generates oxygen\, to how carbon is moved from sunlit surface waters into the abyss—an important factor for climate stability. There are challenges inherent to exploring these communities and technological innovations that are essential for overcoming those challenges. Here\, we will discuss what we are learning about key marine microbes\, how they interact\, and how this new knowledge reshapes the way we think about ocean. \nAlexandra Worden is a Senior Scientist at the Josephine Bay Paul Center for Comparative Molecular Biology and Evolution and a Professor in the Department of Geophysical Sciences at the University of Chicago. \nWorden’s research focuses on the uptake and fate of carbon in the oceans critical processes for maintaining the biosphere in which we live. Her current research focuses on photosynthetic microorganisms\, integrating across genomics\, evolutionary biology\, and ecology to explore microbial roles in carbon dioxide uptake and fate. Worden and her group develop methods and technologies for sea-going studies of protists (unicellular eukaryotes) and their viruses\, and for quantifying their contributions to global primary production\, activities in the deep sea\, and trajectories in future oceans. In addition to pioneering methods for targeting uncultivated microbes in the ocean\, alongside their activities and interactions\, her lab has focused on developing methods for investigating environmentally relevant algae under climate change simulations and methods for genetic manipulation of these species. In her next undertakings\, Worden aims to initiate cohort-based educational programs that broaden the representation of individuals from diverse backgrounds in the sciences. \nWorden holds a BA in History from Wellesley College with a concentration in Earth\, Atmospheric\, and Planetary Sciences at MIT. She performed her PhD at the University of Georgia’s Odum School of Ecology\, where she had a NASA Earth Systems Science Fellowship. Prior to coming to the MBL\, she founded the Ocean EcoSystems Biology Unit in Kiel\, Germany as Professor and Unit Head. Among other honors\, she is a Fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology\, a Fellow of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology\, an Associate in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University\, and a member of the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina.

SUMMARY:MBL Friday Evening Lecture Series: “Endless Forms Most Beautiful: Geometry\, Physics and Biology” - L Mahadevan\, Harvard University
DESCRIPTION:Lectures are open to the public for in-person and virtual attendance. No registration required for in-person attendance at the Cornelia Clapp Auditorium.\nDoors open at 7:30 PM\, lectures start at 8 PM. \nThe range of shapes in the plant (and animal) world is “enough to drive even the sanest man mad\,” wrote Darwin. Using examples from single cells to multicellular tissues to whole organisms\, this lecture will examine the “method in the madness” in these shapes. Motivated by both qualitative and quantitative biological observations\, Mahadevan will discuss the underlying rules that have formed that could guide the diversity and complexity of biological growth. In other words\, shining a light on how the “endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been\, and are being\, evolved.” \nL Mahadevan is the Lola England de Valpine Professor of Applied Mathematics\, Physics\, and Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University\, where he also serves as a co-Faculty Dean of Mather House\, living and learning with a community of 400+ students. \nHis interests are broadly in the study of motion and matter at the human scale\, where phenomena are robust and easy to observe\, yet not always easy to explain. These include the patterns of shape and flow of inanimate matter on scales ranging from the supramolecular to the planetary\, and the dynamics of sentient living matter that can self-organize\, perceive and act. In all cases\, the aim is to get at a qualitative understanding using quantitative methods\, and get at general principles\, if there be such\, from answers to specific questions. Examples include the biophysical basis for morphogenesis\, the functional ethology of super-organisms\, the mathematics underlying art forms such as origami\, and the physics underlying musical instruments such as the steel pan.

SUMMARY:MBL Friday Evening Lecture Series: “Climate Change: Charting a Path to a Positive Future” Max Holmes\, Woodwell Climate Research Center
DESCRIPTION:Whether you’re in Woods Hole or halfway around the world\, join us for this venerable MBL lecture series. \nLectures are free and open to the public for in-person and virtual attendance. No registration required for in-person attendance. Doors open at 7:30 PM\, lectures start at 8 PM in the Cornelia Clapp Auditorium. \nSince the MBL was founded in 1888\, atmospheric CO2 concentration has increased 44%\, human population has surged from 1.5 to over 8 billion\, and Earth’s temperature has warmed by almost 1.5°C. The impacts of these changes are profound for climate\, for biodiversity\, for people today\, and\, perhaps especially\, for people and nature tomorrow. While it is easy to imagine a negative future as the impacts of these dramatic changes continue to come crashing down around us\, a vision for a positive future and what it might take to get there receives surprisingly little attention.  Instead\, most scenarios focus on how we might “avoid the worst consequences of climate change\,” hardly an inspiring or hopeful objective. This presentation will explore a vision for the path to a sustainable future where people\, climate\, and nature thrive\, and what near-and longer-term actions might be needed to get there. \nMax Holmes is motivated by a vision of science that connects people with each other and the natural world\, and which drives urgently needed solutions to the climate crisis. After 10 years at MBL\, Max joined Woodwell Climate Research Center as a scientist in 2005 and served as Deputy Director for five years before becoming President and CEO in 2021. His globe-spanning career\, track record of community-based science\, and innate passion for interacting with new people and ideas position him to engage diverse audiences with his inspiring\, action-oriented vision for our climate future. He is a sought-after speaker at venues ranging from TEDx to Davos to Mountainfilm and has been quoted by top news outlets including The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, The Boston Globe\, and The Independent. He previously served as director of the U.S. National Science Foundation’s Arctic Systems Science Program\, was elected National Fellow of the Explorers Club in 2015\, and served on the 2022 Earthshot Prize host committee.

SUMMARY:Friday Evening Lecture Series: “Finding a Place in Science: Life Sciences and Lived Experiences” - Shirley Malcom\, AAAS SEA Change
DESCRIPTION:Many people from communities of color interested in STEMM gravitate toward life sciences because of the opportunities to answer questions that spring from their lives or that address issues experienced in their communities. This presents both challenges and opportunities: Challenges to the discipline when the current framing of research questions does not incorporate the concerns and perspectives of these communities and opportunities within the disciplines when they do. Drawing from historical and contemporaneous examples\, the lecture will explore the inexorable link between equity and excellence in STEMM and why we cannot back away from a commitment to inclusion. \nShirley Malcom is Senior Advisor to the CEO and Director of the SEA Change initiative at American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). She works to improve the quality and increase access to education and careers in STEM fields as well as to enhance public science literacy. Dr. Malcom is a trustee of Caltech\, a regent of Morgan State University\, and a member of the SUNY Research Council. She is a former member of the National Science Board\, the policymaking body of the National Science Foundation\, and served on President Clinton’s Committee of Advisors on Science and Technology. Malcom\, a native of Birmingham\, Alabama\, received her PhD in ecology from Pennsylvania State University\, a master’s degree in zoology from UCLA\, and a bachelor’s degree with distinction in zoology from the University of Washington. She also holds 16 honorary degrees. Malcom serves on the boards of the Heinz Endowments\, Public Agenda\, the National Math-Science Initiative\, and Digital Promise. Internationally\, she is a leader in efforts to improve access of girls and women to education and careers in science and engineering and to increase the use of Science and Technology (S&T) to empower women and address problems they face in their daily lives\, serving as co-chair of the Gender Advisory Board of the UN Commission on S&T for Development and Gender InSITE\, a global campaign to deploy S&T to help improve the lives and status of girls and women. In 2003\, Dr. Malcom received the Public Welfare Medal of the National Academy of Sciences\, the highest award given by the Academy.

SUMMARY:MBL Falmouth Forum: “Regeneration of Complex Tissues: Axolotls Lead the Way\, Can We Follow?” Karen Echeverri
DESCRIPTION:Throughout human life\, many cells such as hair follicles and certain tissues such as liver can be continuously replaced to maintain tissue integrity in response to normal\, daily wear and tear. While humans do exhibit some very limited regenerative capacity\, other animals exhibit sometimes astonishing regenerative ability. Salamanders show the highest diversity in being able to regenerate limbs\, tail\, heart\, eyes\, and jaw\, and in addition can repair lesions in the brain and heal all wounds without forming scar tissue. Karen Echeverri’s research group is working on elucidating how the axolotl can regenerate multiple body parts including limbs and the spinal cord without forming any scar tissue. The MBL has a long history of research in the field of regeneration. This talk will cover the history of discoveries at the MBL and the current ongoing research on regeneration at the MBL and how this may inform future approaches to regenerative medicine. \nKaren Echeverri is a developmental cell biologist and an Associate Scientist at the Eugene Bell Center for Regenerative Biology and Tissue Engineering at the Marine Biological Laboratory. Prior to moving to the MBL in 2018 she was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Cell Biology\, Genetics and Developmental Biology and a member of the Stem Cell Institute at the University of Minnesota. She trained at the Max Planck Institute for Cell Biology and Genetics with Elly Tanaka and Andrew Oates. She received the Otto Hahn award for her Ph.D. work from Max Planck Society and was later awarded the Santa Cruz Developmental Biology Young Investigator Award. Her research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of the remarkable ability of many species to functionally regenerate lost tissue.

SUMMARY:MBL Falmouth Forum: “Why We Should Care About the Arctic\, Part II: An Arctic Science Panel”
DESCRIPTION:Moderator: Anne Giblin\, MBL\nPanelists: Jim McClelland\, MBL; Sue Natali\, Woodwell Climate Research Center; Rebecca Rowe\, University of New Hampshire; Collin Ward\, WHOI \nLecture Abstract: Scientists originally went to the Arctic to study ecological processes thought to be unimpacted by human influences. That has all changed in recent decades as the Arctic has become “ground zero” for understanding how ecosystems will respond to rapid climate change. The panelists will explore a number of topics including how a changing Arctic climate might alter the balance of greenhouse gas emissions from higher latitudes; the changing productivity of the Arctic Ocean; how the terrestrial mammals\, ranging from voles to caribou\, may be impacted by changes in temperature and snow cover; and what are the potential pollution risks as the shipping and mineral exploitation in the Arctic increases. The group hopes to show the impact that climate change is having on the Arctic is not limited to the Arctic but may have profound implications for the rest of the globe. There will be short presentations and a panel discussion that will include questions from the audience.
