The University of Oregon professor of physic s is leading the way with internationally recognized research into fract als—curious patterns found in nature that repeat themselves. Taylor's st artling discoveries show that these patterns-within-patterns may signifi cantly reduce stress and have interesting implications for psychology\, medicine\, and even the semiconductor industry. Taylor has applied his s tudies to art\, showing how fractal patterns in the work of abstract exp ressionist Jackson Pollock can distinguish a real Pollock from a fake. C ome hear about this amazing intersection of art and science. \;\n  3\;\nRichard Taylor\, PhD\, is an associate professor in physics\, psych ology\, and art at the University of Oregon.

This emerging view finds a natural scientific place for value and ethics\, and places us as co-creators of the enormous web of emerging co mplexity that is the evolving biosphere and human economics and culture.

According to world-renowned game designer Jane McGonigal\, the reason for this mass exodus to virtual worlds is that vi deogames are increasingly fulfilling genuine human needs. In this ground breaking exploration of the power and future of gaming\, McGonigal revea ls how we can use the lessons of game design to fix what is wrong with t he real world. \;\n \;\nDrawing on positive psychology\, cognitive science\, and sociology\, Reality Is Broken uncovers how game designers have hit on core truths about what makes us happy and used these discov eries to astonishing effect in virtual environments. Videogames consiste ntly provide the exhilarating rewards\, stimulating challenges\, and epi c victories that are so often lacking in the real world. But why\, McGon igal asks\, should we use the power of games for escapist entertainment alone? Her research suggests that gamers are expert problem solvers and collaborators\, since they cooperate with other players to overcome daun ting virtual challenges\, and she helped pioneer a fast-growing genre of games that aims to turn gameplay to socially positive ends. \;\n \;\nIn Reality Is Broken\, she reveals how these new Alternate Reality G ames are already improving the quality of our daily lives\, fighting soc ial problems like depression and obesity\, and addressing vital twenty-f irst century challenges—and she forecasts the thrilling possibilities th at lie ahead. She introduces us to games like World Without Oil\, a simu lation designed to brainstorm—and therefore avert—the challenges of a wo rldwide oil shortage\, and Evoke\, a game commissioned by the World Bank Institute that sends players on missions to address issues from poverty to climate change. \;\n \;\nJane McGonigal\, PhD\, is the directo r of Game Research and Development at the Institute for the Future. Her work has been featured in The Economist\, Wired\, and The New York Times and on MTV\, CNN\, and NPR. In 2009\, BusinessWeek called her one of th e 10 most important innovators to watch. She has given keynote addresses at TED\, South by Southwest Interactive\, and the Game Developers Confe rence and was a featured speaker at The New Yorker Conference. \;\n&# 13\;\nThis Science Pub is presented in partnership with Powell’s Books. Powell’s will have Jane’s books available for purchase at the Science Pu b and Jane will sign them after the talk.\n\nTags: plancast:plan=3k8k\, game\, science\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250459652 URL:http://www.omsi.edu/sciencepubportland SUMMARY:OMSI Science Pub! - Reality Is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better a nd How They Can Change the World LOCATION:Bagdad Theater and Pub: 3702 S.E.

S he will highlight some of the beautiful biological diversity of spiders’ feeding biology\, silks\, and venoms\, and discuss how evolution has ge nerated a "\;pharmacopeia"\; of unique toxins that are rich in p otential for human applications. \;\n \;\n \;\n*A note on the suggested cover: Nerd Nite is completely supported by money collected at the door.

Work will begin on the morning of Tuesday\, July 22 in New Zealand and Australia. As they are starting to wind up for the day\, their colleagues in Europe w ill come online as Tuesday arrives there. They will hand off to people i n North and South America a few hours later\, and around we'll go again. Sites will keep normal hours -- no all-nighters\, please -- and each site will keep wrap up at the end of regular business hours on Wednesday \, July 23\, local time. \;\n \;\nWhat We'll Be Doing \;\n \;\nAnything related to teaching and doing open science is welcome to jo in the sprint -- the only requirements are that there be something con crete to start with (because experience shows that starting with a blan k screen is a good way to spend two days going in circles)\, and that s omeone volunteer to coordinate the work. \;\n \;\nIf you'd like to propose a project\, please add it to the list\, and mail us (science lab@mozillafoundation.org) so that we can help advertise it.

Fruit flies are often host to parasitic wasps who lay t heir eggs inside the flies and which\, after they hatch\, consume the fl ies from the inside out. (Yes\, like the movie Alien.) Since fruit flies are often around rotting\, fermenting fruits\, the flies that are infec ted with the parasitic wasps will actively seek out otherwise harmful le vels of alcohol that has the effect of killing off the wasps in their sy stem. They can also identify the wasps by sight\, and when they see them \, they will lay their eggs on more alcoholic food sources in (presumabl y) an effort to protect their offspring from being infected in the futur e. [Todd Schlenke](http://academic.reed.edu/biology/professors/schlenke/ )\, PhD\, professor of biology at Reed College\, will talk about his stu dies that seem to show fruit flies self medicating and discuss how alcoh ol might be used as medication in humans as well. \;\n \;\n_______ __ \;\n \;\nScience on Tap is a science lecture series where you c an sit back\, enjoy a pint\, and laugh while you learn.

The study of the geological history of the last 10 \,000 years of the Cascadia Subduction Zone has shown that there have be en 43 great earthquakes (magnitude 8.0 or higher) along the coast of Ore gon\, Washington\, California\, and British Columbia. Some of these eart hquakes were probably magnitude 9.0 or higher\, and like the 2011 Japane se and 2004 Sumatran earthquakes\, they probably also caused large tsuna mi waves that were devastating all over the Pacific. At this Science on Tap\, Chris Goldfinger\, PhD\, professor of geology and geophysics at Or egon State University\, will talk about the geology of Cascadia and his research on the recurrence interval of major earthquakes. While this res earch may not allow us to pinpoint a date for the next great quake\, a b etter understanding of the geological forces at work can help us prepare . \;\n \;\nEvent Website \;\n \;\n_________ \;\n \;\n Science on Tap is a science lecture series where you can sit back\, enjo y a pint\, and laugh while you learn.

Swinney\, Sid Rich ardson Foundation Regents Chair of Physics and Director of the Center fo r Nonlinear Dynamics at the University of Texas at Austin. Prof. Swinney is one of the pioneering figures in the study of chaos theory and his l ab has played a leading role in the study of nonlinear dynamics over the past 40 years. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and h is work has been recognized with numerous awards\, including the Moser P rize\, the Richardson Medal\, and the Boltzmann Medal. \;\n \;\nFr om spatial patterns like the stripes on a zebra to temporal patterns lik e the rhythmic beating of the heart\, patterns are ubiquitous in nature. Understanding how these patterns emerge is one of science’s most enduri ng mysteries. In this lecture\, aimed at a general audience\, Prof. Swin ney will discuss how ordered patterns emerge as systems are driven away from thermodynamic equilibrium. While no general theory of pattern forma tion currently exists\, new analysis techniques\, experiments\, and comp utational methods can provide general insights into pattern formation in a diversity of physical\, chemical\, and biological systems. \;\n&# 13\;\n \;\nSpontaneous pattern formation in bacterial colonies \;\ n \;\nSponsored by the Office of the Dean of the Faculty at Reed Coll ege.\n\nTags: science\, lecture\, chaos\, chaos theory\, free\, physics\ , chemistry\, math\, mathematics\, biology\n\nImported from: http://cala gator.org/events/1250467640 URL:http://events.reed.edu/posts/2014-15/lecture-harry-swinney.html SUMMARY:Public Lecture at Reed: "Emergence of Ordered Patterns in Physica l\, Chemical\, and Biological Systems" LOCATION:Reed College (Vollum Lecture Hall): 3203 S.E.

Which features of conventional spreadshee t software would you change? What would you add? What would you take awa y? \;\n \;\n \;\nJoin us to share your ideas and help shape Ste ncila Sheets... and the future of reproducible research! \;\n \;\n \;\nStencila is an open source project funded by a grant from the [A lfred P.

Most theorists reasonably assume that suicide is a pathology or an unfortunate byproduct of one or several adaptations\, but evolutionary theorists also recognize that in creasing fitness can entail risks or come at the expense of survival. Th e bargaining model of suicidal behavior frames non-lethal attempts\, whi ch far outnumber completions\, as costly signals of need in the face of severe fitness threats. Kristen and her colleagues tested this and other evolutionary models using data from 53 unique cultures. Forced or thwar ted marriages\, social condemnation\, and the victim having committed a transgression were common precursors to lethal and non-lethal suicidal b ehavior. She will discuss the social conditions that commonly lead to su icidal behavior and how evolutionary theory can help make sense of the t ragedy of self-inflicted death.\n\nTags: science\, neuroscience\, mental health\, anthropology\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/125 0475839 URL:https://www.meetup.com/Synapsistic/events/261463482/ SUMMARY:Synapsistic Neuroscience: How does evolution explain suicide?

This might be on the basis of an obvious physi cal feature (like "\;size"\;) or something more subtle and subje ctive (like "\;cost"\; or "\;preference"\;). A particula r cognitive skill arises from this understanding: the ability to perform a transitive inference. Although long studied as a facet of human intel ligence\, many other species are also able to make this inference. When considering several different experimental manipulations\, the best expl anation for transitive inference in these species is a cognitive represe ntation of order that can be reasoned about and manipulated as though it possesses spatial properties. This cognitive faculty has deep evolution ary roots that predate the talent for mathematical and linguistic abstra ction that humans often take for granted. Simulations using a computatio nal model that embodies this theory suggest new directions for the study of this fundamental cognitive mechanism.\n\nTags: science\, neuroscienc e\, cognition\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250476179 URL:https://www.meetup.com/Synapsistic/events/264331469/?_xtd=gqFypzc2ODI 3MDOhcKdhbmRyb2lk&from=ref SUMMARY:Who Ordered This?

But we cur rently have no quantitative understanding of how emotions emerge from th e activity of neural networks in the brain. Capturing the essence of emo tions with computational methods might seem like an oxymoron given lay c onceptions of emotions as irrational forces that inflexibly bias behavio r away from rationality. However\, it is increasingly clear that the neu ral circuits mediating emotion and decision making are highly intertwine d. After decades of research suggesting the amygdala mainly contributes to emotion and simpler forms of associative learning\, researchers are j ust beginning to explore the computational boundaries of amygdala functi on. The emerging perspective\, which Dr. Costa will discuss\, is that th e computational goals of emotional circuits in the brain are much richer than simply identifying things as good or bad. \;\n \;\nDr. Vinny Costa is an assistant professor in Department of Behavioral Neuroscienc e and in the Division of Neuroscience of the with the Oregon National Pr imate Research Center. Dr. Costa's research is focused on using computat ional approaches from reinforcement learning and decision making to unde rstand the function of the mesolimbic circuits in emotion\, cognition\, and disease. To do this he takes a multidisciplinary approach combining computational modeling of behavior\, neurophysiology\, neuroimaging\, ps ychopharmacology\, and chemogenetic methodologies in rhesus macaques and humans.\n\nTags: science\, neuroscience\, Neural Networks\n\nImported f rom: http://calagator.org/events/1250476307 URL:https://www.meetup.com/Synapsistic/events/264903964/ SUMMARY:Quantifying Emotion LOCATION:Vacasa: 850 Northwest 13th Avenue\, Portland OR 97209 USA SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190910T190423Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20191012T180000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20191012T083000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190910T190423Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190910T190423Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250476180 DESCRIPTION:CAT BarCamp is a free unconference hosted by the Computer Act ion Team at Portland State University every year. \;\nBarCamps are fr ee conferences where the people who show up on the day of decide what th e conference is about.

It's the protocols\, the trials\, and the data. And there's another R&\;D...the one that kicks in when your experiment fa ils\, funding gets weird\, or your team is just plain burnt out. This is Leadership R&\;D—Resilience and Determination. It’s the core skill s et for navigating the uncertainty\, failure\, and long-term grind of inn ovation. Come spend your lunch hour to get research-backed\, practical t ools to build real resilience for yourself\, and learn how to create an environment where your team can do the same. Join business coach Josh El lison for a candid\, insightful\, and supportive session where you’ll wa lk away with strategies you can use to practice Leadership R&\;D that same afternoon.\n\nTags: biotech\, funding\, networking\, science\, sta rtup\, entrepreneur\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/125048 2316 URL:https://www.tickettailor.com/events/oregonbioscienceincubator/1953822 SUMMARY:Virtual Lunch & Learn: Leadership R&D: How to Lead Yourself & You r Team Through...Well\, Anything LOCATION:Zoom: false SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251209T232503Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260108T190000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260108T173000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251209T232503Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251209T232503Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250482336 DESCRIPTION:Kick Off 2026 with OBI’s January Accelerate Biotech Happy Hou r \;\n \;\nNew year.

In this Virtual Lunch &\; Learn session\, aspiring founders will gain practical\, actionable insight into two core pillars of early‑stag e biotech company formation. First\, we will cover why corporate formati on matters and what founders need to get right early on: choosing the ap propriate corporate structure\, properly issuing founder equity\, creati ng and maintaining a clean cap table\, establishing a functional board o f directors\, and preparing for future financing. These elements are ess ential for attracting investors\, protecting founder ownership\, and avo iding preventable legal and operational pitfalls. \;\n \;\nSecond\ , attendees will learn what to expect when in‑licensing foundational int ellectual property from a university\, academic medical center\, or rese arch institution—the critical step that often enables company formation in life sciences. We will demystify the tech transfer process\, discuss typical economic and diligence terms\, and highlight common negotiation and operational considerations so founders understand both the opportuni ties and obligations that come with licensing core IP. Whether you are p reparing to launch your first venture or exploring commercial pathways f or your science\, this session will provide clarity\, context\, and conf idence as you take the next steps on your entrepreneurial journey.\n\nTa gs: biotech\, entrepreneur\, funding\, networking\, science\, startup\n\ nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482519 URL:https://www.tickettailor.com/events/oregonbioscienceincubator/2124627 SUMMARY:Virtual Lunch & Learn: Formation and Licensing: What Founders Nee d to Know SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260511T211345Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260609T130000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260609T120000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260511T211345Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260511T211345Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250482574 DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered if your product truly has the upside y ou believe—or have sold to your investors?

The talk is based on case s tudies with local Inc.-5000 companies that\, while smart\, made product blunders costing millions of dollars because of overconfidence and hubri s.\n\nTags: biotech\, entrepreneur\, funding\, networking\, science\, st artup\, lunchandlearn\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250 482574 URL:https://www.tickettailor.com/events/oregonbioscienceincubator/2205390 SUMMARY:Virtual Lunch & Learn: From Half-Baked to Fully-Baked: Getting Yo ur Product Right for Faster Market Uptake SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
