Seaweed Chronicles: A World at the Water's Edge
Monday, August 20
7:00pm
Porter Square Books, 25 White Street, Cambridge
An ancient, and vital, part of nature's ecosystem, seaweed is now emerging as an increasingly important source of food in a world faced with diminishing natural resources.
In Seaweed Chronicles, acclaimed nature writer Susan Hand Shetterly opens a window into the world of this fascinating organism by providing an elegant, often poetic look at life on the rugged shore of the Gulf of Maine. Shetterly offers a close look at the life cycle of seaweed, and introduces us to the men and women who farm and harvest it--and their increasingly difficult task of protecting this critical natural resource against forces both natural and man-made.
Ideal for readers of such books as The Hidden Life of Trees and How to Read Water, Seaweed Chronicles is a beautiful tribute to a little-known part of our country and a significant contribution to our understanding of our natural habitat.
Susan Hand Shetterly is the author of the essay collections Settled in the Wild and The New Year's Owl, as well as several children's books, including Shelterwood, named an Outstanding Science Trade Book for Children by the Children's Book Council. She lives in Maine.

A New Food Story For New England
Tuesday, August 21
12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
Webinar
Presenter: Lisa Fernandes, Communication Director, Food Solutions New England
How we talk about food and our food system has the power to reinforce existing “narratives” or stories. But our communications can also change the way people think about food, their roles in the food system and, ultimately, change their actions and behaviors. In this webinar we will gain foundational knowledge about the importance of recognizing underlying food system narratives, but we will also learn about the New Narrative work being coordinated by Food Solutions New England to elevate the stories that will help shift our region toward a strong, healthy and just food system for all. Lisa will offer specific ideas and tools for how to craft your food system communications to avoid pitfalls and to achieve your desired goals more effectively.

Ayanna Pressley - Running for MA 7th Congressional District against incumbent Mike Capuano
An At-Large member of the Boston City Council, Ayanna made history as the first person of color at the top of the ticket when first elected in 2009. Ayanna's political career spans more than 18 years, in various behind-the-scenes capacities at the federal level of government. During her time in office, she created and chairs the City Council’s Committee on Healthy Women, Families, and Communities, which is devoted to the causes that she has always cared deeply about: stabilizing families and communities, reducing and preventing violence and trauma, combating poverty, and addressing issues that disproportionately impact women and girls. Ayanna has earned local and national attention for her efforts to provide pathways to graduation for pregnant and parenting teens, ensure Boston high school students receive comprehensive sexual health education, diversify economic and wealth building opportunities for women and people of color, and strengthen support services for families of homicide victims and sexual assault survivors. In 2013, she formed the Elevate Boston coalition to ensure issues uniquely impacting women and girls and the LGBTQ community were part of the 2013 Boston mayoral race debate. Ayanna is determined to advance a political agenda focused on women and breaking the cycle of poverty and violence. Pressley is committed to working in partnership with the community to build broad and diverse coalitions to advance policy reform.
Brianna Wu - Running for MA 8th Congressional District against incumbent Stephen Lynch
Brianna is forging a bold path forward in her commitment to single-payer healthcare, income equality, and solutions for climate change. Brianna was, and continues to be, a major target of abuse and harassment, most famously in Gamergate. A fierce advocate for women's rights and technology issues such as cybersecurity and privacy, she chose to run for office because she believes that people want leaders that will take on the NRA, stand up to the extreme Right-Wing, and address the most pressing issue our nation faces - economic inequality.
Sam Hammar - Running for MA State Senate, 5th Middlesex District against incumbent Jason Lewis
Having experience with tech and government, Sam is uniquely qualified to serve in the State Senate. She believes that it's time to get the progress that working families deserve. An advocate for women and families, Sam is an experienced public servant who believes that the State House should prioritize the economic crises that are crushing Massachusetts: affordable housing, child and senior care, and student debt.

When Industry Hides the Facts about Toxins
Tuesday, August 21
6:30 PM
Belmont Media Center, 9 Lexington St, Belmont
Philippe Grandjean, D.M.Sc, M.D., Professor and Chair of Environmental Medicine, University of Southern Denmark; Adjunct Professor of Environmental Health, Harvard P. Chan School of Public Health; Co-Editor (with David Ozonoff, Boston University School of Public Health) of Environmental Health journal.
PFASs are industrial chemicals used in many products, including fire-fighting foam, sprays, teflon, many consumer products. These chemicals are highly toxic to humans, animals, and the environment. PFAS are associated with pregnancy and birth problems, sperm deficiencies, immunity deficiencies, asthma, and other disorders. Recently, the discovery of high levels of PFAS in public drinking water has increased public alarm about these chemicals.
Scientists who have studied the impact of PFAS for years have just learned that the producers of these chemicals (3M, Dupont) were fully aware of the toxicity decades ago –but did not release the data.
Dr. Grandjean is an international leader in the research on PFAS. In this program, he discusses the health impact of PFAS toxins and the issue of industrial concealment of critical data.

Wearable Electrochemical Sensors: Toward Labs on the Skin or in the Mouth
Wednesday, August 22
11:00am to 12:00pm
Harvard, Pierce 209, 29 Oxford Street, Cambridge
Joseph Wang, University of California - San Diego
Wearable sensors have received a major recent attention owing to their considerable promise for monitoring the wearer’s health and wellness [1,2]. The medical interest for wearable systems arises from the need for monitoring patients over long periods of time. These devices have the potential to continuously collect vital health information from a person’s body and provide this information to them or their healthcare provider in a timely fashion. Such sensing platforms provide new avenues to continuously and non-invasively monitor individuals and can thus tender crucial real-time information regarding a wearer’s health. This presentation will discuss recent developments in the field of wearable electrochemical sensors integrated directly on the epidermis or within the mouth for various non-invasive biomedical monitoring applications [3-6]. Particular attention will be given to non-invasive monitoring of metabolites and electrolytes using flexible amperometric and potentiometric sensors, respectively, along with related materials and integration considerations. The preparation and characterization of such wearable electrochemical sensors will be described, along with their current status and future prospects and challenges.
Speaker Bio:
Joseph Wang is Distinguished Professor, SAIC Endowed Chair and Chair in Department of Nanoengineering at University of California, San Diego (UCSD). He is also the Director of the UCSD Center of Wearable Sensors. He served as the director of Center for Bioelectronics and Biosensors of Arizona State University (ASU) before joining UCSD.

Getting under the skin of dermatological disease using protein biomarkers
Wednesday, August 22
12:00 p.m. ET
Webinar
Speakers
Emma Guttman, M.D., Ph.D., Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY
James G. Krueger, M.D., Ph.D., The Rockefeller University, New York, NY
Moderated by
Sean Sanders, Ph.D., Science/AAAS, Washington, DC
Sponsored by Olink Proteomics
Dermatological diseases such as psoriasis, eczema, and alopecia are of great medical and socioeconomic significance, and are a leading cause of nonfatal disease burden for global health care. These diseases are often chronic and can have major physical and emotional impacts on sufferers, significantly reducing their quality of life. While such conditions may be classified as “skin diseases,” their underlying pathophysiology is complex, involving systemic inflammation and autoimmune processes. Exemplifying this complexity, diseases such as psoriasis are thought to be associated with increased cardiovascular risk, including myocardial infarction and stroke. Consequently, dermatological conditions represent both a challenge when it comes to penetrating their underlying biology and developing new and better therapies, and also an opportunity to gain insights into a wider range of mechanistically related diseases. Our panelists will discuss how biomarkers can contribute to these goals by improving our biological understanding and helping us to develop more effective, targeted treatments for patients in the future.
During the webinar, the speakers will:
Discuss the complex interplay of inflammatory and immunological processes in dermatological disease
Describe recent progress in understanding pathophysiology and therapeutic opportunities
Explore future developments and potential advances in this field
Answer your questions during the live broadcast!
This webinar will last for approximately 60 minutes.
Speaker bios
Emma Guttman, M.D., Ph.D., Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY
Dr. Guttman-Yassky is the Sol and Clara Kest Professor of Dermatology and Immunology and vice chair for research in the Department of Dermatology as well as director of the Center for Excellence in Eczema and of the Laboratory of Inflammatory Skin Diseases at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center, New York. She earned her M.D. from the Sackler Faculty of Medicine at Tel-Aviv University in Israel, and a Ph.D. from Bar-Ilan University in Ramat Gan, Israel. After receiving her Israeli board certification in dermatology, she moved to the United States to pursue a postdoctoral fellowship at The Rockefeller University and a second dermatology residency at Weill Cornell Medicine, both in New York. Her major focus is atopic dermatitis (AD). She made paradigm-shifting discoveries on the immunologic basis of AD in humans, enriching the understanding of its pathophysiology and opening the door to new AD therapeutics. She has developed comprehensive molecular maps of AD, defining skin differentiation and immune circuits characterizing the disease. She has established the reversibility of the AD phenotype and defined a series of biomarkers that are now accelerating testing of novel, pathway-specific drugs for AD. Recently she has extended her research interest to alopecia areata; her findings in that area are also being translated into possible novel therapeutic targets. Dr. Guttman-Yassky cofounded and serves as president-elect of the International Eczema Council, and was elected to the American Society for Clinical Investigation and the American Dermatological Association. She received the Young Investigator Award from the American Academy of Dermatology in 2011.
James G. Krueger, M.D., Ph.D., The Rockefeller University, New York, NY
Dr. Krueger is head of the Laboratory for Investigative Dermatology at The Rockefeller University in New York City. He also serves as a physician and codirector for the Center for Clinical and Translational Science at The Rockefeller University Hospital in New York as well as chief executive officer of the hospital. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Princeton University and a Ph.D. in virology and cell biology from The Rockefeller University. He received his M.D. from Cornell University Medical College, where he also completed an internship in internal medicine and residency in dermatology. Dr. Krueger is certified by the American Board of Dermatology. His research group at Rockefeller was the first to conduct clinical trials with specific, targeted immune antagonists in psoriasis; this work established that elimination of pathogenic T cells from skin lesions could reverse the full pathological phenotype of psoriasis. Since then, his group has used immune-based therapeutics to dissect inflammatory pathways in psoriasis and to conduct parallel pharmacogenomic studies that define mechanisms of targeted therapeutics in human populations. A more recent focus has been definition of new inflammatory pathways as well as new types of inflammatory cells in psoriasis lesions that are now being targeted with new biologic drugs.
Sean Sanders, Ph.D., Science/AAAS, Washington, DC
Dr. Sanders did his undergraduate training at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, and his Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge, UK, supported by the Wellcome Trust.

Screwnomics: How Our Economy Works Against Women and Real Ways to Make Lasting Change
Thursday, August 23
7:00pm
Porter Square Books, 25 White Street, Cambridge
The personal is not only political, it's also economic and sexual: as a society, we're encouraged to view economics as objective science far removed from us--when in reality it has concrete and far-reaching effects on our everyday lives.
In Screwnomics, Rickey Gard Diamond shares personal stories, cartoons, and easy-to-understand economic definitions in her quest to explain the unspoken assumptions of 300 years of EconoMansplaining--the economic theory that women should always work for less, or better for free. It unpacks economic definitions, turns a men-only history on its head, and highlights female experiences and solutions. encouraging female readers to think about their own economic memoir and confront our system's hyper-masculine identity.
In the past fifty years, the US has witnessed a major shift in economic theory, and yet few women can identify or talk about its influence in their own lives. Accessible and inspiring, Screwnomics offers female readers hope for a better, more inclusive future--and the tools to make that hope a reality.

A Poet Among Angels: Anne Sexton and Forest Hills - walking tour
Sunday, August 26
2:00 PM – 3:30 PM EDT
Forest Hills Cemetery - Visitor Kiosk, 95 Forest Hills Avenue, Jamaica Plain
Cost: $10
FHET welcomes author and historian Dee Morris for a Sunday afternoon Cemetery Walking Tour
A Poet Among Angels: Anne Sexton and Forest Hills
A born storyteller, Anne Sexton (b.1928) found a ready audience for her highly personal, confessional poetry during the 1960s. Words became her lifeline as she struggled with severe depression, alcoholism and mental illness. Following her suicide in 1974, her cremated remains were interred here. Our route to the Sexton family lot is highlighted by high-powered angel monuments that add serenity to the eternal community. On nearby Summit Ave, several creative Bostonians, including a woman who wrote science fiction, rest in peace.
Join us for a summer stroll that celebrates Anne Sexton and her Forest Hills neighbors.
This Walking Tour lasts up to 90 minutes with frequent stops over varied terrain. Meet at the Visitor’s Circle just inside the main gate. Please wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water.
Dogs are welcome on this tour but must remain on leash at all times.

Current levels of atmospheric carbon are so dangerously high that we cannot chose between reducing emissions and sequestering carbon. We must do both. Agriculture is the only sector that has the ability to transform from a net emitter of CO2 (producing about 10% of U.S. Emissions) to a net reducer of CO2.
If the world's agricultural land were managed so that it were to gain soil carbon rather than lose it, an increase of only 0.4% soil organic carbon woud effectively offset 20-35% o global anthropgenic greenhouse gas emissions http://bit.ly./Miinasny .
Come learn about the science from Bill Moomaw
Emeritus Professor of International Environmental Policy and Founding Director of the Center for International Environment and Resource Policy at The Fletcher School. He currently serves as Co-Director of the Global Development and Environment Institute at Tufts, which he co-founded. He received his BA degree in chemistry from Williams College and PhD in physical chemistry from MIT. Following a 26-year career in chemistry and environmental studies at Williams College, where he directed the Center for Environmental Studies. He served as AAAS Science Fellow in the US Senate, where he worked on legislation that successfully addressed ozone depletion, and on legislation responding to the 1973 energy crisis. He began working on climate change in 1988 as the first director of the climate program at World Resources Institute in Washington. He has been a lead author of five Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Reports. The IPCC shared the Nobel Peace Prize for its climate work in 2007.
He serves on the boards of directors of The Nature Conservancy of Massachusetts, the Consensus Building Institute, Earthwatch Institute, and on the National Advisory Board of the Union of Concerned Scientists. He chairs the boards of The Climate Group North America and Woods Hole Research Center.
He and his wife, Margot, completed a zero net energy home in Williamstown MA in 2007 that produces sufficient solar electricity to meet all of its heating, lighting and appliance requirements while exporting surplus power to the grid.
Come hear about regenerative agriculture from Northeast Organic Farmer Caro Rozell who has over ten years experience working in farming and food security. Her farming experience includes full- time apprenticeships on mechanized tillage farms, assistant managing a 30-acre organic farm, and, for the past three years, starting and running her own no-till, small-scale CSA farm. She also manages the Soil Carbon Technical Assistance program for NOFA/Mass as well as the organization’s three-year Conservation Innovation Grant, the curriculum for the NOFA Winter Conference and the year-round Education Events.

The Monarchy of Fear: A Philosopher Looks at Our Political Crisis
Tuesday, September 4
6:30 PM (Doors at 6:00)
Cambridge Public Library, 449 Broadway, Cambridge
This event is free; no tickets are required.
Harvard Book Store and Boston Review welcome distinguished philosopher and professor MARTHA C. NUSSBAUM for a discussion of her new book The Monarchy of Fear: A Philosopher Looks at Our Political Crisis.
About The Monarchy of Fear
For decades Martha C. Nussbaum has been an acclaimed scholar and humanist, earning dozens of honors for her books and essays. In The Monarchy of Fear she turns her attention to the current political crisis that has polarized America since the 2016 election.
Although today’s atmosphere is marked by partisanship, divisive rhetoric, and the inability of two halves of the country to communicate with one another, Nussbaum focuses on what so many pollsters and pundits have overlooked. She sees a simple truth at the heart of the problem: the political is always emotional. Globalization has produced feelings of powerlessness in millions of people in the West. That sense of powerlessness bubbles into resentment and blame; blame of immigrants, blame of Muslims, blame of other races, blame of cultural elites. While this politics of blame is exemplified by the election of Donald Trump and the vote for Brexit, Nussbaum argues it can be found on all sides of the political spectrum, left or right.
Drawing on a mix of historical and contemporary examples, from classical Athens to the musical Hamilton, The Monarchy of Fear untangles this web of feelings and provides a roadmap of where to go next.

Amateur: A True Story About What Makes a Man
Tuesday, September 4
7:00 PM
Harvard Book Store, 1256 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge
Harvard Book Store welcomes award-winning writer THOMAS PAGE MCBEE—author of Man Alive: A True Story of Violence, Forgiveness, and Becoming a Man—for a discussion of his latest book, Amateur: A True Story About What Makes a Man.
About Amateur
In this groundbreaking new book, the author, a trans man, trains to fight in a charity match at Madison Square Garden while struggling to untangle the vexed relationship between masculinity and violence. Through his experience boxing—learning to get hit, and to hit back; wrestling with the camaraderie of the gym; confronting the betrayals and strength of his own body—McBee examines the weight of male violence, the pervasiveness of gender stereotypes, and the limitations of conventional masculinity. A wide-ranging exploration of gender in our society, Amateur is ultimately a story of hope, as McBee traces a new way forward, a new kind of masculinity, inside the ring and outside of it.
In this graceful, stunning, and uncompromising exploration of living, fighting, and healing, we gain insight into the stereotypes and shifting realities of masculinity today through the eyes of a new man.

MIT Solve Coastal Communities Challenge
How can coastal communities mitigate and adapt to climate change while developing and prospering?
Challenge deadline July 1, 2018
Challenge Overview
Over 30% of humanity lives near coasts, ranging from massive cities to key ports and naval bases to small islands. The effects of climate change – including sea level rise, stronger storms, ocean warming and acidification – are causing increasing negative impacts on these communities’ lives and livelihoods. For the 600 million people supported by the fishing industry, a majority of them women, overfishing, pollution, and acidification threaten their livelihoods and the fragile ecosystems on which they depend. In cities and elsewhere, some communities already face regular flooding due to higher tides, some will see more frequent natural disasters, and others will see tourist-attracting coral reefs or surfing fade.
Further, as 60% of global GDP and 90% of global trade moves through coasts, increased flooding or damage to port infrastructure poses risks for communities and businesses alike, whether or not they are near the ocean. In addition, coastal and ocean ecosystems absorb 25% of our excess CO2, but are often degraded through coastal development, making climate change harder to mitigate.
While facing numerous impacts, coastal communities from Puerto Rico to Dhaka also have the potential to demonstrate resilient and sustainable ways of living near and with the ocean. Doing so will require people to have access to new technological solutions—along with new ways to envision and enact hard decisions about economies, society, and infrastructure. The Solve community aims to find innovative solutions to support and enhance coastal communities, while mitigating and adapting to climate change. To do so, Solve welcomes solutions from innovators around the world that:
Increase the viability and scale of sustainable economic activity from oceans, ranging from fishing to energy production to tourism
Provide cost-effective infrastructure approaches to improve resilience in the face of increased storm-, sea-, and tidewater
Rebuild or replicate mangroves, corals, and other ecosystems to restore historic functions, including storm surge absorption, carbon uptake, and stable fisheries
Enable coastal communities, governments, and corporations to use data to understand and make complex decisions around sustainable and resilient development

Announcing Destination 2040: The next long-range transportation plan for the Boston region
How would you improve the Boston region’s transportation system? That’s the question at the heart of the MPO’s preparations for Destination 2040, which the MPO expects to adopt in the spring of 2019.
Every four years, the MPO identifies the system’s strengths and weaknesses; forecasts changes in population, employment, and land use; and creates a plan to address existing and future mobility needs. The resulting long-range transportation plan (LRTP) allocates funding for major projects in the Boston region and guides the MPO’s funding of capital investment programs and studies.
Use the new Destination 2040 website at http://ctps.org/lrtp-dev to explore the state of the system; learn how the MPO will identify needs, revisit its vision and goals, and prioritize its investments; and share your own interests, concerns, and ideas.
