Hey Everyone, I was surprised to see we had 6 guests online when I logged in. I thought I would update anyone who is maintaining, watching and supporting the community website. The website has been transferred on the LPL servers and in the process we lost some website files, mainly image files, and are working to recover and reload these graphics. Once this is complete, we can take this community tool and introduce it to all the new interns and hope they use it! |

The B2 Institute at Biosphere 2 organized a public lecture series to offer Saturday visitors a chance to hear scientists speak about some of the best physical science research under way at The University of Arizona. Beginning Feb. 14, this spring's B2 Institute "Let's Talk Science" lectures will be held at 11 a.m. in the Biosphere 2 Theater. The B2 Institute is Biosphere 2's center for research, outreach, teaching and life-long learning about Earth, its living systems and place in the universe. It focuses heavily on addressing the challenges of extreme growth and fragile environment that face the state of Arizona and the American southwest. All lectures are included with the cost of admission. Visitors who attend any of the lectures and pay the $20 adult tour admission will be given an individual membership for Biosphere 2 science events and unlimited Biosphere 2 tours for a year, said Matt Adamson, Biosphere 2 program coordinator for outreach and education. "Let's Talk Science" topics and speakers are: - Feb. 14: "Taming the Energy from the Sun," by Alex Cronin, associate professor of physics and optical sciences.
- Feb. 21: "The Search for Near Earth Objects," by Edward Beshore, senior staff scientist for the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory and Steward Observatory, a member of the Catalina Sky Survey team.
- Feb. 28: "Unmasking Europa: The Search for Life on Jupiter's Ocean Moon" with Richard Greenberg, planetary sciences professor and member of the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory.
- March 14: "Probing Dark Matter with the Large Hadron Collider" with Elliot Cheu, physics professor.
- March 21: "Black Hole Horizons," by Fulvio Melia, professor of astronomy and physics.
- March 28: "First Light: How We can Discover the First Objects that Ever Formed"with Donald McCarthy Jr., Steward Observatory astronomer.
