SUMMARY:ASF: A Scoop of Science
DESCRIPTION:  \nA Scoop of Science is SOLD OUT! Thank you for your support! See you on the 16th! \nWe all scream for ice cream! But have you ever really thought about what it is? A liquid? A solid? A glass? Ice cream has more in common with toothpaste\, froth\, and glass than you might expect. Join physicists Daniel Sussman and Michael Czajkowski for an exploration of the physics of disordered solids\, and answers to the questions you never knew to ask about ice cream. ​We promise the only brain freeze will come from the ice cream\, not from the science! \nAtlanta Science Festival ticketing opens January 25th! \nGet your tickets here!

SUMMARY:CST: Essential Bicycle Maintenance
DESCRIPTION:On April 3rd at 6pm\, we will have a Climate Survival Training about repairing bikes\, led by Benjamin Kasavan from SOPO\, and hosted by Piedmont Park (at their community center location next to Willy’s). \nWe will be covering basic bike maintenance and repairs that will keep your bicycle running smoothly for longer! Learn routine maintenance\, such as cleaning your chain and making minor brake adjustments\, and learn how to repair a flat tire! Don’t sit in traffic\, plunge into the bliss of bicycles! \n \nBenjamin first got involved with bicycles at 8 years old racing with Star Track at the Kissenna Park Velodrome in NYC. While he doesn’t race anymore\, he has never stopped biking. Beyond biking around town\, he has been volunteering with DIY bicycle shops since 2015 and has been a shop manager at SOPO Bicycle Cooperative since 2019. He believes that bicycling is a powerful force not only for transportation\, but also for community building\, resilience\, and self-empowerment. \nFollow this link to Sign Up. \n \n  \nCST Bike Repair

SUMMARY:Environmental Justice in South DeKalb: Water Testing Training
DESCRIPTION:Location: Everett Park\, 5106 Klondike Rd\, Lithonia\, GA 30038 \nDate: Sunday May 19th \nTime: 11am \nDescription: \nFollowing our series of environmental justice forums in South DeKalb this year\, the greatest community need became clear. Much more information about the health threats present is needed. While our data science branch continues to collect and examine information from many public data resources\, it is clear that more testing will be needed. We cannot wait around for governmental agencies to do this testing for us\, we must take this issue into our own hands with community testing. \nThis training is the first step in developing a data gathering community project that can generate a well-researched set of knowledge and tools to continue with advocacy for the well being of South DeKalb. And don’t forget\, water testing is fun! \n \nEJ-SD Water Testing

SUMMARY:The Science of Choice: Why Ranked Choice Voting Isn't Just for Politics
DESCRIPTION:The Science of Choice: Why Ranked Choice Voting Isn’t Just for Politics \nTuesday\, May 21st 7pm-9pm \nIn-Person and Streaming \nLocation: Mutation Brewing\, 5825 Roswell Rd NE\, Sandy Springs\, GA 30328\, We will be in the Speakeasy at Mutation\, Straight ahead from the main entrance in the back. Ask at the Bar if the door is closed. \nWhy is it so hard for third-party candidates to win modern elections? How does voting in political races differ from the way college teams are ranked or how the Oscars are awarded? And how can a business\, city\, or state choose among multiple candidates for a program without a costly and time-consuming runoff procedure? The answers to these questions can be found in understanding concepts from Ranked Choice Voting and Game Theory\, a branch of mathematics devoted to interactive decisions.   \nIf you’ve heard phrases like “win-win” and “zero-sum” or seen movies like “The Dark Knight” and “A Beautiful Mind”\, you’ve already been exposed to ideas from game theory. In particular\, we will look at alternative voting mechanisms\, and how you can implement them with your organization\, whether it’s something like choosing a location for the office holiday party\, deciding on what brand of coffee to put in the break room\, or how to select a board chairman from several candidates.  \nThose wanting a preview of some of the topics can check out the interactive web apps here on The Evolution of Trust and Building a Better Ballot or follow this link to Sci4ga’s Ranked Choice white paper. \nncase.me/trust/\nncase.me/ballot/  \nFeatured Speaker: Jason Quinley   \nJason Quinley is a Venture Capital Consultant and Data Scientist with a research background in applied mathematics and computational linguistics. He joins us by way of the Atlanta Society for Data Science & Business Intelligence\, of which he is the president.    \nJason has a further background as an educator and political consultant\, where he created the first Game Theory course for high-schoolers nationwide. His speaking engagements include talks in over twenty cities and five countries on topics like integrating psychological realism with economic theory\, modeling deception and cooperation\, simulating historical language contact\, and applying neuroeconomics to linguistics pragmatics\, and prototyping apps with artificial intelligence.   \nThe Science of Choice

SUMMARY:Georgia Energy Burden Community Event
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nOnline and In-person \nGeorgia Institute of Technology in partnership with the Sierra Club in Georgia released an energy burden report highlighting the oversized financial burden Black households face in Georgia. \nThe report shows how Black households in Georgia face disproportionately high energy burdens\, including historic discrimination and disinvestment in infrastructure. The report goes a step further than similar studies by conducting surveys of energy-burdened households to find out what other consequences they face when they spend a significant portion of their income on energy bills. \nGA WAND and Brown & Associates have developed a workshop on how changes in policy change your rates. After a presentation on the report\, they will lead us in an interactive workshop. \nJoin Science for Georgia\, the Sierra Club\, GA WAND\, and Brown & Associates for a presentation and workshop on what this means to you\, your community\, and how you can create change. \n\nAgenda\n7 pm – Welcome \n7:10 to 7:40 – Sierra Club Energy Burden Presentation \n7:40 to 8:20ish – The Public Service Commission energy workshop \n8:20 to 9pm – Community Discussion \n  \nFood and Drinks will be available \nAtlanta Utility Works – 2903 RN Martin St.\, East Point\, Ga 30344 \nRSVP now to reserve your seat. \nEnergy Burden\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

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.
