SUMMARY:Mathematics--It's As Easy as Pi!
DESCRIPTION:Mathematics can be tasty! It’s a way of thinking\, and not just about numbers. Through unexpectedly connected examples from music\, juggling\, and baking\, Eugenia Cheng\, Ph.D.\, will show that math can be made fun and intriguing for all\, through hands-on activities\, examples that everyone can relate to\, and funny stories. Cheng\, a mathmetician\, concert pianist\, author and yes–baker–will present surprisingly high-level mathematics\, including some advanced abstract algebra usually only seen by math majors and graduate students. There will be a distinct emphasis on edible examples. Suitable for all ages including keen children. \n  \n \nDr Eugenia Cheng is Scientist In Residence at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She won tenure in Pure Mathematics at the University of Sheffield\, UK\, where she is now Honorary Fellow. She has previously taught at the universities of Cambridge\, Chicago and Nice and holds a PhD in pure mathematics from the University of Cambridge. Alongside her research in Category Theory and undergraduate teaching her aim is to rid the world of “math phobia”. Her first popular math book\, How to Bake Pi\, was published by Basic Books in 2015 to widespread acclaim including from the New York Times\, National Geographic\, Scientific American\, and she was interviewed around the world including on the BBC\, NPR and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.  Eugenia was an early pioneer of math on YouTube and her videos have been viewed over 10 million times to date. Her next popular math book\, Beyond Infinity was published in 2017 and has been shortlisted for the Royal Society Insight Investement Science Book Prize. Eugenia also writes the Everyday Math column for the Wall Street Journal\, is a concert pianist\, and recently completed her first mathematical art commission\, for Hotel EMC2 in Chicago.

SUMMARY:A screening and talk by British visual artist Simon Starling
DESCRIPTION:When:\nThursday\, November 30\, 2017 7:00–9:00 p.m.\n\n\nWhere:\nLogan Center\, Screening Room 201\n915 East 60th Street\, Chicago\, IL\n\n\nDescription:\nA screening and talk by British visual artist Simon Starling as part of the University–wide CP–1 commemoration. Since emerging from the Glasgow art scene in the early 1990s\, Simon Starling has established himself as one of the leading artists of his generation\, working in a wide variety of media (film\, installation\, photography) to interrogate the histories of art and design\, scientific discoveries\, and global economic and ecological issues\, among other subjects. The recipient of the 2005 Turner Prize\, Starling has had major exhibitions in Kunsthallen and museums throughout the world\, and his work can be found in the collections of some of the world’s leading art institutions. Starling will screen two of his recent films\, Project for a Masquerade (Hiroshima) (2010)\, a complex multi-media installation\, in part on a quintessential Chicago story concerning the early days of nuclear energy development and the monument designed by Henry Moore commemorating its discovery\, and another film related to the Masquerade titled\, At Twilight. Joshua Abrams and his group\, Natural Information Society\, will perform live to the Hawk Dance\, which is part of At Twilight. For Project for a Masquerade (Hiroshima)\, Starling has connected the idea of the mask to Japanese Noh theater and worked with a Noh mask-maker\, Yasuo Miichi\, in Osaka to create a set of masks that fuse traditional Noh masks with characters both historical and fictional who were contemporary to Moore. \nPresented by the Arts\, Science & Culture Initiative\, the Gray Center for Arts & Inquiry\, the Department of Visual Arts\, and the Film Studies Center. The “Arts and the Nuclear Age” lecture series is partially supported by the Franke Institute for the Humanities. \nMore information\n\n\n\nCost:\nFree\n\n\nContact:\nUChicago Arts\n773-702-2787\n \n\n\nInteract:\nTweet about this event before\, during\, and after this event by using hashtags: #uchicago Nuclear75\n\n\nTag:\nFeatured – Arts\, Screenings\, Lectures\, Featured – Homepage\, Featured – Homepage/Students\, Arts\, Research\, CP1\, Featured Research\n\n\nNotes:\nPersons with disabilities who need an accommodation in order to participate in this event should contact the event sponsor for assistance.

SUMMARY:In Awe of the Northern Lights
DESCRIPTION:Since 2012 astronomer José Francisco Salgado has been photographing the Northern Lights from Canada\, Alaska\, and Iceland\, as part of his work communicating science through the arts. So far\, his Northern Lights films set to music have been presented with orchestras in 13 cities in four countries and have reached a combined audience of 130\,000 people. In this lecture\, Dr. Salgado will speak about the physical processes behind the mesmerizing auroras and the experience of photographing them from subarctic Canada biannually. Just in time for the Holidays\, you will get to experience the magic of the Northern Lights set to music while learning about the science behind these spectacular celestial displays–and what it takes to capture these awe-inspiring images. ‘Tis the season for science-inspired art! \n \nJosé Francisco Salgado is an Emmy-nominated astronomer (BS in Physics\, Univ. of Puerto Rico; Ph.D. in Astronomy\, Univ. of Michigan)\, experimental photographer\, visual artist\, and public speaker who creates multimedia works that communicate science in engaging ways. As the Executive Director and co-founder of KV 265\, a non-profit science and arts education organization\, Salgado collaborates with orchestras\, composers\, and musicians to present films that provoke curiosity and a sense of wonder about the Earth and the Universe. \nHis “Science & Symphony” films have been presented in 180 concerts and have reached a combined audience of more than 375\,000 people in concert halls\, museums\, and lecture halls spanning more than 85 cities in 15 countries. Orchestras that have presented these works include the Chicago Symphony Orchestra\, Boston Pops\, the San Francisco Symphony\, New World Symphony\, and the Orchestra Teatro Regio Torino. His first two films were named by the International Astronomical Union and UNESCO as Special Projects for the International Year of Astronomy (IYA2009). In 2012 his film “Gustav Holst’s The Planets” was chosen for Ravinia Festival’s One Score\, One Chicago initiative. In 2014\, his collaboration with composer Christopher Theofanidis\, “The Legend of the Northern Lights” was premiered with Grant Park Orchestra to critical acclaim in front of 32\,000 people.

SUMMARY:Chemistry of Coffee - 2017-12-16
DESCRIPTION:Politicians don’t talk about it\, but perhaps the most important stimulus to the US economy comes in a cup – the coffee cup. Millions consider the ancient and awesome bean critical to their daily productivity. If you’re a coffee drinker\, come be a coffee thinker – and coffee scientist – to learn about this fascinating elixir. \nIllinois Science Council brings back our popular “Chemistry for Adults” series in collaboration with Second Chance Coffee Company for a unique Chemistry of Coffee event with Dr. Shelby Hatch (ISC’s Chemist-in-Residence) and the coffee experts behind the fantastic I Have a Bean coffee. Whether you’re a daily connoisseur or just occasionally partake\, come get the inside scoop on the coffee bean. \nThis event is not just a talk or tasting (although there will definitely be tasting!). You will engage in hands-on chemistry experiments and leave with insider info to improve your morning coffee routine and dazzle your friends with your knowledge. Through discussion and experimentation\, you’ll learn about: the selection of the coffee bean; the process of roasting; particle size and surface area; chemical changes that take place in roasting and brewing; concentrations (dosage); temperature; pre-infusion (time and volume); and find out what is most important of these for taste. No science prerequisite is necessary\, only curiosity! \nTake this opportunity to come to the Loop on a Saturday and experience the Christkindlmarket\, Chicago’s largest open-air Christmas festival on Daley Plaza or the many shopping and entertainment options in and around Block 37. Space is limited – sign up now! \nSecond Chance Coffee Company was founded in Wheaton\, IL in 2007 to accomplish two things—roast and distribute truly exceptional coffee\, and help transform the lives of post-prison people in the process. The company roasts and distributes coffee under the brand name “I Have a Bean.” Learn about their great business model and mission here. \nLatinicity is a unique dining option in the heart of downtown Chicago featuring 8 innovative kitchen stations of Latin flavor\, a coffee café\, full bar and lounge\, and a sit-down Mexican restaurant situated inside the food hall. Latinicity knows how to pair it’s excellent food with excellent beverages\, including I Have a Bean coffee. \nISC’s Chemistry for Adults programs have included Chemistry of… Beer with Metropolitan Brewing\, Whiskey with Koval Distillery\, Chocolate with Blommer Chocolate\, Spirits with CH Distillery\, and Honey with the Notebaert Nature Museum\, as well as cosmetics chemistry.

SUMMARY:Winter Solstice
DESCRIPTION:It’s the scientific start to winter in the Northern Hemisphere\, when this half of the world tilts away from the sun. The Sun’s direct light will hit as far south on Earth as it does all year – on the Tropic of Capricorn\, which lies at 23.437 degrees south of the Equator. You guessed it\, that is the same angle as the Earth’s tilt relative to the Sun.
