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:Folding DNA into Tiny Shapes: The Revolution of DNA Origami
DESCRIPTION:Guillermo AcunaFriborg University \nA scientific revolution is happening at the smallest of scales—one where we fold DNA\, the molecule of life\, into intricate nanoscale shapes. This field\, called DNA origami\, turns DNA into a programmable building material\, allowing us to craft structures just billionths of a meter in size with astonishing precision. In this talk\, we’ll explore this technique that ‘folds’ DNA like nanoscale paper and discuss its strengths\, limitations\, and groundbreaking applications that are reshaping fields from medicine to electronics. \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:“Hot Flashes & Bright Futures: Reimagining Midlife & Menopause Care
DESCRIPTION:Telluride Science’s biggest fundraiser of the summer  showcases a powerhouse panel for women on thriving through midlife and beyond.\nFresh off her recent appearance with Oprah Winfrey and interviews on major podcasts like Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert and Mel Robbins\, Dr. Mary Claire Haver—#1 New York Times bestselling author of The New Menopause\, board-certified OB-GYN and founder of The ‘Pause Life—is transforming how we talk about women’s health. With over 6 million followers\, she’s become a leading voice in menopause care\, empowering women with science-backed tools to take charge of their health and longevity. \nJoin Dr. Haver and fellow trailblazers  Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz and Dr. Corinne Menn for a dynamic panel discussion hosted by Telluride Science and the Telluride Foundation. This expert “menoposse” will explore the latest science\, strategies\, and solutions for thriving through midlife and beyond—from hormone therapy and musculoskeletal health to sexual wellness\, mental clarity\, and whole-body vitality. \nThis is your chance to hear directly from the ultimate A-listers in women’s health. The evening will include a moderated discussion and audience Q&A. Come ready to challenge outdated narratives and leave with practical\, empowering knowledge you can use. \nPLEASE NOTE: Event capacity is limited. Sponsors and donors of Telluride Science and Telluride Foundation have priority and will have reserved seating for the live presentation. On a first-come\, first-served basis by RSVP\, this special event is offered free to the public via livestream in the Gallery Room; this is separate from the live presentation. Registration to the event is required. Reserve a seat HERE.

SUMMARY:Quantum Computing and Chemistry: Realizing the Promise of Quantum Information
DESCRIPTION:Kade Head-Marsden\, University of Minnesota \nThere is an exponential cost to obtaining molecular information pertinent to important processes such as catalysis\, photosynthesis\, and energy transfer and storage. While quantum computing showed early promise for reducing the scaling of these problems\, practical realization of this promise has remained challenging. The primary challenge arises due to the noise experienced by the quantum system\, limiting the size and complexity of possible algorithms and thus restricting the scope of possible applications. The detrimental effect of noise is because qubits\, the base unit of quantum computation\, are fundamentally interacting with their surroundings. As we navigate through this noisy quantum era\, we need to find use-cases for the hardware we have access to now\, along with creative paths forward. Here\, I will introduce the ideas and potential behind quantum computing\, discuss practical challenges\, and outline on-going chemistry research inspired by these challenges in quantum information. \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:What If the Future of Computing Isn’t Silicon?
DESCRIPTION:Milan Delor\, Columbia University \nMoore’s law – the long-standing trend of computer chips getting constantly faster and cheaper by doubling the number of transistors on a chip every two years – is coming to a worrying end. The hunt for new materials and processes that could power the next technological revolution is on. In this short talk\, I will focus on one example: using light instead of electrons to compute. I will describe some key challenges from a materials science perspective\, and emerging opportunities that could result in dramatic improvements in the speed and energy efficiency of information technologies\, including for AI and quantum computing applications. \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.
