SUMMARY:Town Talk: Condense to Organize
DESCRIPTION:Rohit Pappu\, Washington University in St. Louis \nWhat are the unifying themes in neurodegeneration in the context of ALS and other dementias\, success of heart transplantation\, the onset and progression of an assortment of cancers\, and stress responses of plants? In all these cases\, the biochemical reactions within the cells of interest that go awry in pathology or the reactions that contribute to healthy cells occur within specialized communities known as biomolecular condensates. These are molecular communities that form via condensation\, just like raindrops on a windshield. Condensates are dynamic molecular communities and reactions occur within and at the interface of condensates. These molecular communities form when they are needed\, and dissolve when they are no longer needed. While reversible formation of condensates at the right place and time enables control over cellular reactions\, aberrations in condensation appear to be at the root of some of the most debilitating and complex diseases of our time. The talk will highlight key insights that have emerged over the past decade-and-a-half that have opened our eyes to the marvels of condensation within cells. Strikingly\,  how real-time developments in basic science are making an impact in the way we diagnose and treat disease\, while also enabling enormous progress toward a better understanding of plant and microbial systems.  \nTown Talks will be held on Tuesdays at the Telluride Conference Center in Mountain Village June 3 to August 12 (with the exception of July 1). Doors open at 6 pm and the program starts at 6:30 pm. Free and open to the public. \nThanks to our title sponsor Alpine Bank and Telluride Mountain Village Owner’s Association.

SUMMARY:Town Talk: Life in Color
DESCRIPTION:Natalie Shustova\, University of South Carolina \n  \nPhotochromic materials are quietly woven into the fabric of our daily lives\, yet they are also driving some of the most exciting frontiers in science and technology. One familiar example is transition lenses for glasses which darken in sunlight and return to clear indoors\, offering both UV protection and visual comfort. These lenses illustrate a core strength of photochromic materials: their ability to reversibly switch between states in response to external stimuli such as light\, heat\, or pressure. What makes these transformations truly powerful is their speed and reversibility\, features that have inspired innovations far beyond eyewear. For instance\, window coatings that darken when exposed to high-intensity sunlight not only drastically reduce the costs associated with air conditioning\, but newer technology can also convert the absorbed sunlight into electricity\, offering a sustainable and cost-effective approach to powering our homes and offices.  \nOngoing research in photochromic materials is trying to bring the same concept of rapid and reversible switching between states to the next level by controlling important material properties outside of just color\, including conductivity\, magnetism\, catalytic activity\, and the ability to harvest solar energy. Thus\, some materials can even mimic natural photosynthesis by capturing solar energy and directing it through engineered pathways to the desired targets. Overall\, from color-changing fashion and smart surfaces to molecular computing\, on-demand drug delivery\, and encryption technologies\, photochromic materials are poised to revolutionize how we interact with the world around us. Learn more in this Telluride Inside & Out article.  \nTown Talks will be held on Tuesdays at the Telluride Conference Center in Mountain Village June 3 to August 12 (with the exception of July 1). Doors open at 6 pm and the program starts at 6:30 pm. Free and open to the public. \nThanks to our title sponsor Alpine Bank and Telluride Mountain Village Owner’s Association.

SUMMARY:Town Talk: Mining Plastic-Changing the Narrative from Waste to Resource
DESCRIPTION:Plastic waste is piling up\, with projections estimating 25 billion tons by 2050—most of it ending up in landfills or the environment. Traditional mechanical recycling falls short\, with only a tiny fraction of plastics truly recycled into similar products. This Town Talk challenges us to rethink plastic not as waste\, but as a valuable resource. Learn how chemists are working to “mine” used plastics for their chemical and energy potential\, turning trash into tools for a more sustainable future. \nThis Town Talk will be presented by Michael McGuirk\, Associate Professor of Chemistry at Colorado School of Mines.  \nTown Talks will be held on Tuesdays at the Telluride Conference Center in Mountain Village June 3 to August 12 (with the exception of July 1). Doors open at 6 pm and the program starts at 6:30 pm. Free and open to the public. \nThanks to our title sponsor Alpine Bank and Telluride Mountain Village Owner’s Association.
