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

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: “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.
