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: “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:The 33rd Annual Woods Hole Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:The 33rd Woods Hole Film Festival is almost here! From Saturday\, July 27th through Saturday\, August 3rd join us as we celebrate 33 years of showcasing the work of emerging independent filmmakers from around the world. This year\, the Festival will be an eight day event with screenings and events available again both in-person and on the Festival’s virtual platform. And\, before the Festival there will be a special screening event on Friday\, July 26th\, showcasing the incredible documentary feature IN THE WHALE. Virtual screenings will be available on the Festival platform from Sunday\, August 4th through Sunday\, August 11th. Ticket packages and passes are on sale now. Individual tickets go on sale July 1st. \nThe 2024 film program includes 121 films selected from 19 countries: 20 feature narratives\, 27 feature documentaries\, and 74 short films. In addition to the films\, the Festival includes workshops\, panel discussions\, parties\, music and more. The schedule\, film descriptions and pass/ticket information are available at www.woodsholefilmfestival.org
