SUMMARY:Creating with AI: The Tools Worth Using and How to Use Them
DESCRIPTION:Creating with AI is a hands-on workshop that teaches you how to develop exceptional marketing content while preserving your brand voice. \n\n\n\nIf you’ve been overwhelmed by the surge of AI tools and aren’t sure what’s actually useful\, this workshop cuts through the noise. You’ll see how to use AI to create a brand guide\, design a logo\, produce short videos\, and build a live website—while choosing the right tools and keeping your own voice in control. \nBuilt around live demos and a single end-to-end example\, this hands-on workshop requires no coding\, design\, or AI experience. \nPaid subscription strongly encouraged. Space is limited and RSVP is required.  RSVP HERE

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.
