SUMMARY:Discovering Us: Great Discoveries in Human Origins
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:Evan HadinghamDr. Daniel Lieberman \n\n\n\n\n\nCost:Free with registration \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDan Lieberman\, Harvard human evolutionary biologist and Evan Hadingham\, Senior Science Editor for PBS’s NOVA series explore some of the most exciting and groundbreaking surprises revealed by human origins research. \n\n\n\nOver the past fifty years\, researchers have made extraordinary discoveries that help us to understand who we are\, where we came from\, and what makes us human. This program brings our shared history to life and tells the stories behind some of the most important human origins discoveries ever made. These amazing stories of key fossil discoveries\, insights gleaned from the study of our nearest living relatives\, and more are highlights from Evan Hadingham’s latest book Discovering Us: Fifty Great Discoveries in Human Origins. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvan Hadingham is the Senior Science Editor of the PBS NOVA series produced at WGBH\, Boston. He has an MA in prehistory and archaeology from the University of Sheffield. His popular books on archaeology include Circles and Standing Stones\, Secrets of the Ice Age\, Early Man and the Cosmos\, and Lines to the Mountain Gods. His feature articles have appeared in National Geographic\, Smithsonian\, The Atlantic\, Discover\, and elsewhere. At NOVA\, he is responsible for the editorial accuracy of the science content in the award-winning series. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiscovering Us: Fifty Great Discoveries in Human Origins presents stories of the most exciting and groundbreaking surprises revealed by this wide-ranging new science in fifty lively and up-to-the-minute essays. Prepared in consultation with leading experts\, and written by Evan Hadingham\, Discovering Us features stunning photographs\, some taken at the actual moment that groundbreaking discoveries were made. The book presents a highly accessible account of the latest scientific insights into the ultimate question of humanity’s origins. \n\n\n\n\n\nCopies of Discovering Us are available for purchase online or can be found at your local bookstore.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is held in collaboration with Smithsonian Enterprises. \n\n\n\nGenerously sponsored by the Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation\, Camilla and George Smith\, and the Joan and Arnold Travis Education Fund.

SUMMARY:Games\, Stories\, and Science for Successful Public Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:Dr. Katie Hinde \n\n\n\n\n\nCost:Free with registration \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmerican Association of Biological Anthropologists and Leakey Foundation Communication & Outreach Award in Honor of Camilla Smith 2022 award winner Dr. Katie Hinde discusses the importance of cooperation\, community\, and storytelling for sharing science sustainably. \n\n\n\nOver the past fifty years\, researchers have made extraordinary discoveries that help us to understand For tens of thousands of years\, sharing knowledge about the natural world has been part of what makes us human. Indeed\, humans have many adaptations for fireside storytelling\, shared experiences\, artistic imagery\, and “jokey joke joke jokes”. And yet\, too many scientists ignore the evidence and continue to inadequately blather dry facts. Such approaches do not improve scientific literacy or inspire public enthusiasm. In this lecture\, Dr. Hinde presents insights from studies of human adaptations for story-telling and social learning and highlights the example of March Mammal Madness. \n\n\n\nThis program features a 45-minute live-streamed lecture by Dr. Katie Hinde followed by a 15-minute Q&A session moderated by Dr. Briana Pobiner featuring live viewer questions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Katie Hinde is an associate professor in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change\, Center for Evolution and Medicine\, at Arizona State University. As director of the Comparative Lactation Lab\, Dr. Hinde investigates the evolutionary ecology and behavioral biology of milk\, mothers\, and infants. Decoding mother’s milk insures enhanced precision medicine for the most fragile infants and children in neonatal and pediatric intensive care units. Transdisciplinary approaches to mother’s milk research\, along with public engagement\, facilitate discoveries at the bench and their translation to applications at the bedside. Dr. Hinde showcases research on mother’s milk\, breastfeeding\, and lactation for the general public\, clinicians\, and researchers at her blog “Mammals Suck… Milk!” and her TED talk “What We Don’t Know About Mother’s Milk” has ~1.5 million views. Hinde founded and directs “March Mammal Madness\,” a month-long public engagement campaign that showcases animals\, ecology\, and behavior to hundreds of thousands of participants annually. Dr. Hinde is the recipient of the 2022 AAPA & Leakey Foundation Communication and Outreach Award in honor of Camilla M. Smith. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nNote: The recording of this event will be available immediately after the live event concludes and accessible using the same link used for the live stream. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is presented in partnership by the American Association for Biological Anthropologists’ Education Committee and The Leakey Foundation.  \n\n\n\nGenerously sponsored by the Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation\, Camilla and George Smith\, The Brown Foundation Inc.\, and the Joan and Arnold Travis Education Fund.
