SUMMARY:The Science of Connection: How Our Relationships with Animals Shape Health and Well Being
DESCRIPTION:What does science have to say about the bonds we form with other animals — and why do those bonds matter so deeply for our health? In this talk\, Dr. Kevin Morris\, American Humane endowed chair and executive director of the University of Denver’s Institute for Human-Animal Connection\, explores the emerging research behind human-animal relationships and what it means for individual and community well-being. \nDrawing on a remarkable career that spans molecular biology\, cancer research\, and social work\, Dr. Morris bridges disciplines to illuminate how our lives with other animals are not just emotionally meaningful\, but biologically and socially profound. His work challenges us to think about health as something shared across species — and to consider what a more equitable\, science-informed relationship with the animal world could look like for all of us. \nThis event is free and open to the public but RSVP is required.  RSVP HERE

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 Lancy\, 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.
