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. Visit IllinoisScience.org to sign up for our mailing list of future programs.

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.

SUMMARY:Meeting of the Chicago Astronomical Society
DESCRIPTION:Two speakers will present: \nThe Eclipse\, Seven Russians\, and the 4565 mile Road Trip! by: Dean Ketelsen\nThe “Great” solar eclipse last August\, bisecting the United States\, is a once-in-a-lifetime event for amateur astronomers and not to be missed!  However\, sometime life interferes and while I SHOULD have been making reservations and itineraries\, I was assisting my wife to her chemo sessions\, and eventually\, planning her memorial service.  I found myself 2 months before the event with 7 Russians joining me from halfway around the world\, depending on me to have plans\, as I started from scratch.  But sometimes Dr. Murphy smiles and somehow it all came together.  I’m telling the story of how 24 (!) of us ended up on the lawn of a woman and her 2 granddaughters in Shoshoni\, Wyoming\, by her admission “changing their lives” and ours as well. \n  \nThe development of large scale structure from the cosmic web to galaxies. by: Alex Gurvich\nWhat is the universe’s baby picture? Is space really empty? Where do galaxies come from? What is the largest object in the universe? Does the universe look more like meatballs in a soup\, Swiss cheese\, or a sponge? Most importantly\, how do we know? Together we will journey through evolution of the universe from the big bang to present day\, unraveling the questions that keep me up at night. \n

SUMMARY:Tour of Argonne National Lab
DESCRIPTION:Argonne National Lab is one of 17 research labs in the U.S. operated by the Department of Energy. ISC is partnering with Argonne to offer you a private tour of this unique facility. Attendees will learn from one of its leading nuclear researchers\, Dr. Roger Blomquist\, about nuclear fuel research. You will also get a tour of the Advanced Photon Source\, the world’s most powerful x-ray\, and learn how this extraordinary tool advances science research. \nTransportation from Chicago to Argonne: \nAttendees will board a coach bus at 1 E. Wacker Drive in downtown Chicago at 10:00am for transport to the Lab. There will be a brief science talk en route. All attendees MUST show a government issued ID upon reaching the lab. The tour will begin at 11:00am. Lunch on the campus will be BYO or purchase at the Argonne Grill\, and there will be a short presentation over lunch. The coach will return to the Loop by approximately 2:30. Anyone who does not want to ride on the coach is still required to purchase a ticket and complete the registration form. Non US citizens must complete paperwork 2 weeks in advance. \nDetails on the Argonne Tour: \nThe Nuclear Energy Exhibition Hall (NEEH) showcases Argonne’s rich heritage in the development of nuclear reactors and its current role in the development of next-generation reactors and fuel cycle technologies. Visitors to NEEH will learn about the development of nuclear power generation\, from the Manhattan Project to Argonne’s physics and engineering experiments and analyses that paved the way for naval reactors and today’s commercial nuclear power reactors\, and then on to the advanced reactor systems and other nuclear technologies that are the focus of modern-day research and development at Argonne and around the world. An Interactive Apple Tree display uses imagery to present an overview of the history of Argonne’s nuclear reactor programs and encourages visitors to “dig down” into information on specific reactors with just a touch of the screen. There are also numerous displays of artifacts from Fermi’s time to the present\, models of several types of reactors\, and additional screens that showcase both reactor development history and current Argonne research in advanced reactors\, medical isotopes\, nuclear fuel cycle technologies\, and research reactor conversion. \nThe Advanced Photon Source provides ultra-bright\, high-energy x-ray beams for research in almost all scientific disciplines. These x-rays allow scientists to pursue new knowledge about the structure and function of materials in the center of the Earth\, in outer space\, and all points in between. The knowledge gained from this research impacts\, among other things\, the evolution of combustion engines and microcircuits\, aiding in the development of new pharmaceuticals\, and pioneering nanotechnologies whose scale is measured in billionths of a meter. These studies promise to have far-reaching impact on our technology\, economy\, health\, and our fundamental knowledge of the materials that make up our world.

SUMMARY:March Mammal Madness - Bracket Competition - 2018-03-10
DESCRIPTION:A sports tournament played with all members of the same species is so dull. Admit it… all humans\, all about the same size\, same gender\, with matching limbs and no poison or biting allowed — such a boring contest! But not March Mammal Madness\, where there are no cute kittens\, puppies or baby sloths. This is “nature red in tooth and claw” where contestants battle to the end for glory and survival. \n \n\n  \n If you aren’t familiar\, March Mammal Madness is a tournament of simulated combat between non-human mammals instead of college basketball. Created by Professor Katie Hinde of Arizona State University\, the bracket is run by a team of evolutionary biologists who use science and probability to determine the outcomes of the matchups.Scientific literature is cited to substantiate likely outcomes as a probabilistic function of the two species’ attributes within the battle environment. Attributes considered in calculating battle outcome include temperament\, weaponry\, armor\, body mass\, running speed\, fight style\, physiology\, and motivation. March Mammal Madness is an awesome way to learn about the animal kingdom and increase awareness for animal conservation\, while throwing serious trash talk against rivals who threaten your dominance for master of the bracket. \n\n  \nWinning Bonus! Aside from bragging rights\, ISC will give the top 2 winners (of point totals) TWO FREE PASSES each to our Chicago Science Festival on Saturday\, May 12 in the Merchandise Mart. Submit your completed bracket to Mammals@IllinoisScience.org by Monday 3/12 at 5:00pm (if you want a chance at an extra point in the Wild Card round)\, or by Wednesday 3/14 at 5:00pm for the whole tournament. No late entries allowed after that. \n  \nEach round will be “played” on twitter at #2018MMM or @2018MMMletsgo (a curated twitter account of bout tweets\, not spectator trash talk) where that round’s winner will be announced. Winners will also be shown on the official site here. \nLearn all about Mammal Madness’ creators\, this year’s divisions\, FAQs and more at the HQ blogspot site. Follow along on Facebook too.  Complete your bracket now! Pick your winners by March 12 for the Wild Card; by March 14 at the latest and submit to Mammals@IllinoisScience.org. \n

SUMMARY:Convergence: The future of Art\, Neuroscience\, and Immersive Tech
DESCRIPTION:Virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR) are finally here\, and although many people are still unaware of them\, they’re about to revolutionize many aspects of our lives. In these early days of immersive technologies\, there is limitless potential to define how we will use these new media. Recent breakthroughs in the neurosciences offer a compelling opportunity: making virtual what was once only real in individual’s own mind\, unlocking an unprecedented new avenue for communication and empathy. Inspired by these neuroscientific discoveries and the sci-fi capabilities enabled by immersive technologies\, Oscillations is a performing arts company designed to chart new territory along this avenue in a highly creative way. \nJoin Oscillations for an interdisciplinary panel discussion on the future of art\, neuroscience\, and immersive technologies. Professors and students across various departments at Northwestern University will offer their insights into what this future might look like\, and Oscillations will take you behind-the-scenes of the making of a virtual reality experience. More details here.
