SUMMARY:Can we change the weather (and do we really want to?)
DESCRIPTION:This town talk will be presented by Derek Posselt\, Principal Scientist\, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. \nIf you live on planet Earth\, you have had to worry about the weather at some point. Most of us have heard some version of the expression: “If you don’t like the weather\, wait 5 minutes\, and it will change.” Many of us wish we had the ability to do something about it. This is not a new impulse. Humans have been trying to change the weather for over a century. Posselt will review the ways people have tried to modify the weather\, what has worked (and what hasn’t)\, and whether it is\, in fact\, a good idea to try in the first place. \nTown Talks will be held on Tuesdays at the Telluride Conference Center in Mountain Village June 9 to August 11 (with the exception of July 7\, please note the July 28 talk will be at the Sheridan Opera House). 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:Good Vibrations: Water\, Proteins\, and the Molecular Motions that Make Biology Possible
DESCRIPTION:This town talk will be presented by Matthias Heyden\, Arizona State University. \nWater is far more than a refreshing drink — its unique molecular properties make life possible. By forming a dynamic network of weak chemical bonds\, water acts as both a selective solvent and a kind of molecular lubricant\, driving the assembly of cells and keeping the tiny protein machines inside them flexible and in constant motion. Understanding the role water plays in the generation of these vibrations is one of the great frontiers of modern science\, with real-world implications for greener industrial chemistry and smarter\, safer drug design. \nTown Talks will be held on Tuesdays at the Telluride Conference Center in Mountain Village June 9 to August 11 (with the exception of July 7\, please note the July 28 talk will be at the Sheridan Opera House). 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:Small Molecules at the Origins of Life
DESCRIPTION:This town talk will be presented by David Lacy\, University of Buffalo.  \nHow did the atoms in the universe come together to form life? At the heart of this mystery is the conversion of small molecules into the building blocks of life\, driven by metallocofactors—enzyme-like catalysts conserved across all domains of life. The chemical ancestors of these metallocofactors are thought to have been active prior to the traditional bounds of life\, such as dynamic molecular architectures at mineral surfaces in early oceans. Understanding these chemistries in unusual abiotic environments enables unique insight into how life may have started and evolved into its present form. In this talk\, I will share some of the exciting new developments in the science of extraterrestrial photosynthesis (the search for light-harvesting life on other planets) and other metal-based processes that underpin life on Earth\, and possibly the cosmos. \nTown Talks will be held on Tuesdays at the Telluride Conference Center in Mountain Village June 9 to August 11 (with the exception of July 7\, please note the July 28 talk will be at the Sheridan Opera House). 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:Tau: A shape-shifting protein that may hold the key to early detection of brain diseases
DESCRIPTION:This town talk will be presented by Lukasz Joachimiak\, Associate Professor\, UT Southwestern Medical Center.  \nTau is a protein in brain cells that normally helps support their internal structure. In more than 25 brain diseases\, including Alzheimer’s\, tau can misfold and clump together into harmful fibers. Recent advances in imaging have shown that these tau clumps can take on many different shapes depending on the disease\, but it is still unclear how the same protein can form such a wide variety of structures. In this talk\, I will describe how we are using both experiments and computational methods to understand the basic rules that guide how tau changes shape and forms these toxic aggregates. By uncovering these rules\, we hope to develop better ways to detect specific forms of tau early and design targeted treatments that can stop or prevent these diseases. \nTown Talks will be held on Tuesdays at the Telluride Conference Center in Mountain Village June 9 to August 11 (with the exception of July 7\, please note the July 28 talk will be at the Sheridan Opera House). 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:Seeking Elusive Quantum Advantages in Computational Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:This Town Talk will be presented by Joonhoo Lee from Harvard University. \nLee will explore the subtleties of realizing quantum advantages in computational chemistry. Drawing on several projects from his research group\, he will offer fresh perspectives on how to think about what quantum computing can—and cannot—deliver for chemistry. He will also make the case for why chemists must learn theoretical computer science to prepare for the coming wave of fault-tolerant quantum computing. \nThis is the last Town Talk of the summer that  will be held oat the Telluride Conference Center in Mountain Village. The final Town Talk on August 25 will be held at the Telluride Innovation Center in Telluride.  Doors open at 6 pm and the program starts at 6:30 pm.

SUMMARY:Earth's Most Resilient Life\, Our Greatest Hope: Exploring Unusual Microbes to Solve Humanity’s Biggest Challenges
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n \nThis special town talk\, presented by Braden Tierney\, cofounder and executive director of the Two Frontiers Project extends the season and will be held in town at the Telluride Innovation Center.   \nFrom hydrothermal vents and volcanic seeps to alpine soils and mine drainage right here in Telluride\, Earth’s most unusual ecosystems are home to microscopic life with extraordinary abilities. In this talk\, Tierney will  share stories from the field and the lab through their team at the Two Frontiers Project. They explore the planet’s microbial diversity in search of “microbial superpowers” that could help tackle pollution\, support agriculture\, protect ecosystems\, and improve human health. With an emphasis on projects ongoing in Colorado\, we’ll explore how these invisible ecosystems work\, why they matter for everyday life\, and how citizen scientists and students can help map this hidden world. \nThanks to our title sponsor Alpine Bank.
