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 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.
