SUMMARY:GSJ: The Language of Nature - Learning to Listen\, See\, and Understand
DESCRIPTION:Georgia Science Junction – The Language of Nature – Learning to Listen\, See\, and Understand \nTuesday\, July 21st\, 7-8:30 pm \nIn-Person and Streaming \nAll are welcome\, regardless of funds. \nClick here for streaming on YouTube \nLocation: Mutation Brewing Company\, 5825 Roswell Rd NE\, Sandy Springs\, GA 30328\, in their Speakeasy. \nFeatured Speaker: Mark Albertin \nFrom birth\, we are given rules on how to live in a civilized world. We learn to read\, write and speak a language. And most all of us go through an entire life never really hearing the natural world around us. Never really understanding. Never really caring to listen. \nYet\, more and more studies are confirming that nature is talking…we just aren’t listening or understanding. \nIt took me most of my life to understand. It took countless photography trips deep into the Okefenokee Swamp and other wild places\, alone. It took slowing down and listening. And what I came away with is beyond anything I could have imagined. \nMark will discuss making the film “Sacred Waters” and his solo trips over night capturing the beauty and life of the swamp.\nHe will be showing some of his one-of-a-kind images of the nature we are sometimes too busy to experience. \n \nContinuing on the great tradition of Atlanta Science Tavern and Science Tales & Trails – GSJ events are interactive events that share science information\, facilitate discussion\, and help us all work together to enable science to serve all of Georgia. \nJoin Mark Albertin as we learn the lessons from filming in the Okefenokee Swamp. \nSpeaker Name: Mark Albertin\, Owner of Scrapbook Video Productions\, and Albertin Film Photography. \n\nMark Albertin at the Okefenokee\n\nSpeaker Bio: Mark Albertin is a documentary filmmaker and photographer. Mark was the creator of the film: Sacred Waters – The Okefenokee in Peril\, and just recently produced a hardcover book on the Okefenokee that stresses its protection\, but also our natural environment. \n  \nGeorgia Science Junction

SUMMARY:GSJ: Georgia Water Wars\, Pt 2 - Georgia's Groundwater
DESCRIPTION:Georgia Water Wars—Conflicts over our most precious resource\, Part 2—Groundwater  \nThurs\, Feb 26th\, 7-8:30 pm \nIn-Person and Streaming \nStream it here :  \nLocation: Manuel’s Tavern\, 602 N Highland Ave NE\, Atlanta\, GA 30307 \nFeatured Speaker: John Clarke \nJoin John Clarke for the second in our Georgia Water Wars series. Water usage is becoming a very pressing issue as Atlanta keeps growing and more data centers and cryptomines that use millions of galleons per day are built all over Georgia. We need that water for agriculture\, industry and everyday public uses. \nWater is the lifeblood of our planet. Throughout history to the present day\, wars have been waged over this precious resource\, and Georgia is no exception. The presentation will provide an overview of conflicts over groundwater resources of Georgia and adjacent South Carolina\, Alabama\, and Florida. This includes saltwater intrusion along the coast\, the Okefenokee Swamp\, groundwater contamination at the Savannah River Site\, and effects of agricultural pumping on streamflow in the Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin. \n  \nIf you missed part one\, you can view the YouTube recording below to catch up. This talk will somewhat reference the previous talk but it will not be needed to understand. \n \nSpeaker Name: John Clarke\, Retired Assistant Director\, USGS Georgia Water Science Center\, Atlanta\, Georgia \nSpeaker Bio: John Clarke retired in January 2014 after a 35-year career with the USGS Georgia Water Science Center. As hydrologist and Assistant Director for Hydrologic Investigations\, he authored or co-authored more than 50 papers on Georgia groundwater and twice served as president of the Georgia Ground Water Association. Notable project work included study of the potential for offsite migration of contaminants at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site; development of a hydrologic overview of Israel\, Jordan\, and Palestinian territories as part of the State Department’s ongoing peace initiative; and design and implementation of the Georgia Coastal Sound Science Initiative—a 7 ½-year\, $14.5 million set of projects commissioned by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division to assess coastal area groundwater resources and address issues of salt-water intrusion and resource sustainability.

SUMMARY:GSJ: Natural Gas Pipeline Extension
DESCRIPTION:Natural Gas Pipeline Extension \nWednesday\, January 21st\, 7-8:30 pm \nIn-Person and Streaming \nLocation: Lokos Tacos- Boy Scout Rd – 235 Boy Scout Rd\, Augusta\, GA 30909 \nFeatured Speaker: Sci4Ga Data Team \nclick here to access the live stream \nDid you know that there is a proposed expansion of a gas pipeline that runs throughout the south\, and runs through Georgia from Columbus to Augusta? \nWhile this isn’t a “new” pipeline\, expansion means tearing up neighboring land with construction equipment\, larger and/or new compressor stations\, and overall community disruptions. This will have impacts on the health and safety of those near the pipeline\, and most-likely raise the energy bills of customers across the state of Georgia.\nSo yes – this is related to your power bills and to data centers. \nScience for Georgia and partners have been working together to map the impact of the proposed expansion. Come learn more about what’s in the path of the pipeline\, what it means for you\, and how you can use our interactive map to learn more. \n \nSpeaker Names: \nSci4Ga Data Team – Amy Sharma\, PhD\, Executive Director of Sci4Ga and Jessica Owens\, Data for Georgia\nSpeaker Bios: \n \nAmy Sharma\, PhD – \nAmy Sharma\, PhD\, is the Executive Director of Science for Georgia.

SUMMARY:GSJ: Indoor Mushroom Cultivation: Domesticating a Hidden Kingdom
DESCRIPTION:Indoor Mushroom Cultivation: Domesticating a Hidden Kingdom \nTuesday\, August 26th\, 7-9 pm \nIn-Person and Streaming \nLocation: Mutation Brewing Company\, 5825 Roswell Rd NE\, Sandy Springs\, GA 30328\, in their Speakeasy. \nFeatured Speaker: Kyle Gabriel\, Ph.D. \n  \nAccessible mushroom cultivation can foster stronger communities and a more sustainable food system. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a commercial grower\, our goal is to simplify the growing process\, increase yields\, and unlock the incredible potential of fungi. MycoLogic committed to advancing the art and science of cultivation while making it accessible to all. \nDriven by a commitment to sustainable and community-focused agriculture\, they collaborate with local Georgia growers like Gowin Valley Farms\, Ellijay Mushrooms\, 4Fungi’s\, and Greenbox Mushrooms\, providing them with the tools and knowledge to thrive. Their team of experts in microbiology\, agriculture\, engineering\, and business is dedicated to empowering growers with affordable\, effective cultivation systems. \nJoin us as Kyle Gabriel teaches us their science behind their work and how you can apply this knowledge in the home. \n\n \nSpeaker Name: \nKyle Gabriel\, Ph.D.\, Co-Founder and CEO of MycoLogic.\nSpeaker Bio: \nMycoLogic was born from a lifelong fascination with fungi\, dating back to co-founder Kyle Gabriel’s teenage years. By his early twenties\, he was deeply immersed in the world of mushrooms\, experimenting with wild foraging in South Florida\, yeast cultivation for brewing\, and even developing early prototypes for automated indoor growing systems. His academic journey\, culminating in a Ph.D. in Applied and Environmental Microbiology from Georgia State University\, further deepened his understanding of fungal biology. It was at GSU where he met fellow graduate student Chris Cornelison\, who would later become his co-founder\, and shared a similar passion for mycology. While his graduate research explored the complexities of fungal biology\, focusing on areas like fungal pathogens and brewing science\, it solidified his belief in the immense potential of mushrooms. \nAfter graduating and joining Kennesaw State University in 2017\, Dr. Gabriel\, along with fellow researcher Dr. Cornelison\, saw a critical need for accessible and effective growing solutions for cultivators of all levels. They began pursuing mushroom-related research in Dr. Cornelison’s Bioinnovation Laboratory at KSU. With support from grants awarded by the Georgia Department of Agriculture and the Georgia Research Alliance\, they further developed their technologies and gained a deeper understanding of the mushroom market. This culminated in the founding of MycoLogic in 2021. \nIndoor Mushroom Cultivation

SUMMARY:GSJ: Fighting Misinformation
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, February 20th\, 7-9 pm \nIn-Person and Streaming \nLocation: Manuel’s Tavern \nFeatured Speaker: Michael Czajkowski\, PhD\n \nThings can be better: How to change minds and fight misinformation \n  \nThings feel quite scary right now for a lot of us. We face severe threats both on a political level and perhaps also from some members of our own families and communities. And it is because we do not agree\, we do not see the same things. \nBut the title of the talk is true\, things can be a lot better. The people who don’t agree could be seeing so much more of your side of things. We could be bringing far more of the voters in this country along with us on a path or growth and learning. And it is imperative that we do so. Learn hands-on in this workshop what are the key ingredients to changing minds and fighting misinformation. \n \nSpeaker Name: Michael Czajkowski \nSpeaker Bio: \nMichael got their PhD in Physics in 2018 after helping found a science policy graduate student group at Syracuse University. As an IGERT fellow\, they received additional training in communication and advocacy in the Falk College Department of Public Health and the S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. Michael moved to Atlanta to work as a postdoc in metamaterial physics at Georgia Tech and has been involved with Science for Georgia for six of those years. Michael is also a volunteer with family education at Decatur Makers\, is a local community organizer\, and was faculty in the 2024 Citizen Science course at Bard College. \n  \nScience of Redistricting

SUMMARY:Georgia Science Junction - How Psychedelics Affect the Mind
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, November 22nd\, 7-9 pm \nIn-Person and Streaming \nLocation: Wild Heaven Brewing\, West End – 1010 White St SW\, Atlanta\, GA 30310 \nFeatured Speaker: Bradley Cooke\, PhD\n \nChaos to New Order: How Psychedelics Affect the Mind – 2024 Update \nFor decades\, strict drug laws rendered practically impossible research on psychedelic drugs such as psilocybin and lysergic acid. Recent years\, however\, have seen an explosion of studies into these substances and their effects at nearly every level of analysis—from the workings of brain cells to the behavior of lab animals to patients suffering from debilitating anxiety\, PTSD\, and depression. The effects of psychedelic drugs are just beginning to be explored by basic research and there is much we do not understand. However\, when viewed through the framework of a new theory of brain function—termed the “predictive processing model”—their effects offer new insight to one of the greatest mysteries of science: Consciousness. The model says that consciousness is as much about the brain’s best guess about the world as it is about the patterns of energy received by our senses. Cognitive neuroscientist Bradley Cooke will discuss recent research findings\, interpret the effects of psychedelics on consciousness\, and look at what value such substances hold for psychotherapy. \nAbout Our Speaker:    \n \nBradley Cooke has been a neuroscientist for more than 20 years. He received his Ph.D. from UC Berkeley in 2000 and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Northwestern University before being appointed at Georgia State\, where he was promoted to associate professor before leaving to work in public service. He is now an official at the National Institutes of Health\, where he oversees the nation’s portfolio of research focused on the neurobiology of obesity and metabolic disease.   \n  \n  \nGSJ Nov

SUMMARY:Georgia Science Junction – Are Crypto and AI a Sustainable Future?
DESCRIPTION:*Rescheduled from Sept 26th to Oct 3rd due to Hurricane Helene*\nAll tickets purchased for previous date will be honored for the new date. If you can not attend the new date\, please contact us at patrick.ryan@sci4ga.org for a refund. Please stay safe during this inclement weather. \nOctober 3rd\, 7pm – 9pm \nIn-Person and Streaming \nLocation: Lounge Area\, Wild Heaven\, West End\, 1010 White St SW\, Atlanta\, GA 30310 \nFeatured Speakers: Vijay Madisetti\, Fellow IEEE\, AIIA and Xiao Huang\, Ph.D.\, \n \nAre Crypto and AI a Sustainable Future? \nIn current practice\, Crypto Mining and Artificial Intelligence algorithms are very power hungry. \nWe just turned on two new reactors at Plant Vogle and 1 Plant Vogle Reactor (1.2 MW) can serve 1.2 million households OR about 6 Data Centers. As our power bills keep rising\, and average humans look for ways to lower their energy consumption\, will Crypto and AI gobble-up the gains we are making? Fortunately\, researchers are working on new\, energy-efficient algorithms. Join us to learn why the current practice is so very hungry and about new algorithms that can provide the same\, or better\, computation at a fraction of the power usage. \n  \n\n\n\n\nMore About Our Speakers: \nVijay Madisetti\, Fellow IEEE\, AIIA\, Professor @ Georgia Tech\, Cybersecurity and Privacy (SCP)\, College of Computing.\n\n\n\n\n\nVijay Madisetti earned a Bachelor of Technology (Honors) degree from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)\, Kharagpur\, India\, in Electronics and Electrical Communications Engineering in 1984. Following this\, he went to the University of California at Berkeley where he earned a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences in 1989. \nDr. Madisetti joined the ECE faculty at Georgia Tech in 1989. He leads several research and educational programs at Georgia Tech in the area of digital signal processing\, embedded computing systems\, chip design\, wireless and telecom systems\, and systems engineering. He has authored or edited several books\, including VLSI Digital Signal Processors (1995) and the Digital Signal Processing Handbook (Second Edition\, 2010). He is also a frequent consultant to the industry. \nDr. Madisetti is a Fellow of the IEEE and was awarded the 2006 Frederick Emmons Terman Medal by the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) and HP Corporations for his contributions to electrical engineering. He is currently serving on several campus initiatives\, and is the Executive Director of Georgia Tech’s India Initiative. Dr. Madisetti also received the Georgia Tech Doctoral Thesis Advisor Award from Georgia Tech in 2001. \n\n\n\nXiao Huang\, Ph.D.\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Environmental Sciences\, Emory University \n\n\n\nDr. Huang’s research primarily focuses on human-environment interaction\, computational social sciences\, vulnerability and resilience\, urban informatics\, disaster mapping and mitigation\, GeoAI and deep learning\, and disaster remote sensing. Different from traditional geospatial analysis\, his research takes advantage of rapidly growing data availability through the utilization of emerging\, innovative data sources and the development of advanced geospatial analytical techniques to address existing/future challenges in disaster studies (e.g.\, real-time monitoring\, assessment\, and mitigation) and human society (e.g.\, human behaviors\, vulnerability\, and inequity) from Big Data and spatiotemporal perspectives. He built an academic career integrating his research and wide‐reaching public service while engaging with communities\, particularly socially disadvantaged communities.\n\n\n\n\nGSJ Sept
