SUMMARY:Good Amyloids\, Bad Amyloids: Shape Shifting and Contagious Shape
DESCRIPTION:Ann McDermott\, Columbia University \nFor proteins\, aka “the building blocks of life”\,  shape is ultimately important. Shape\, more than other properties\, confers function\, information about protein shapes is coveted in the development of new medicines and diagnostics.   Most proteins are somewhat flexible\, and there are numerous shapes that can be adopted in the course or their cellular function.  Protein flexibility has a dark side— the shape-shifting can shape be extreme in many diseases–  such that proteins adopt a dramatically different  elongated shape— one in which many copies of the protein clump together and form amyloid deposits in the brain\, pancreas\, kidney\, heart\, liver\, or other organs. This lecture explores a controversial point regarding amyloid proteins.  Are amyloid proteins sometimes employed by nature for benefit?  Does nature\, the ultimate opportunist\, make good use of the fact that proteins convert from their normal shape to this quasi-universal clumped form? Learn more in this Telluride Inside and 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:Trees in the City: Cooling\, Carbon\, and the Complications
DESCRIPTION:Lucy Hutyra\, Boston University \nOur city trees offer well-known benefits—from cooling overheated neighborhoods to sequestering carbon—but the story is far from simple. This talk examines how trees grow in the challenging urban environment and the ecological trade-offs they face. We’ll explore how cities might balance green and built solutions to improve urban livability. Using recent data and case studies\, we’ll dive into the biology\, chemistry\, climate\, sociology\, and planning that shape our urban ecosystems. \nThis is the final Town Talk of the summer season.  \nThanks to our title sponsor Alpine Bank and Telluride Mountain Village Owner’s Association.
