Popping the Science Bubble Berkeley

We'd love for you to join us for these talks at 5:30PM PDT, either in person at @BerkeleyPublic Central Branch or via zoom at bit.ly/PtSBBerkeley! We present talks for a general audience, so all are welcome to attend! We hope to see you there!

Anna Elleman of @berkeleyMCB is also joining us to discuss the design of small molecules that allow us to visualize and manipulate electrical signals in the brains of zebrafish! Learn about the strategies neuroscientists use to study brain conductivity!

Join us tonight for our July seminar! We're talking about developments in the microscopic tech world! We'll explore the developments in microscopic magnets to increase computing power! Then, we'll talk about small molecules that allow us to study brains in zebrafish!

If you're interested in hearing about these topics, please join us, in person @BerkeleyPublic or on zoom at bit.ly/PtSBBerkeley! Our talks are geared for a general audience, so all levels of background and curiosity are welcome! #scicomm

How do we discern when radioactive levels in our environment go from safe to hazardous? @emirof is a nuclear physicist from @BerkeleyLab working to leverage autonomous robot and drone systems to assess environments for radiation safety.

Please join us tonight at 5:30pm for our April seminar! Our speakers will be talking about mechanisms of cognitive loss in Alzheimer's, as well as how drones are being used to scout for radiation! Our talks are geared to the public, so everyone is welcome!

@shubham7193 @UCBVision As always, we start at 5:30 PT in person and on zoom! Our talks are geared toward a general audience, so no matter your age or familiarity with the subject, this talk is for you! Everyone is welcome to join. If you're not in Berkeley, please find us at bit.ly/PtSBBerkeley!

@shubham7193 Also joining us is Haley Frey from @UCBVision! Her work focuses on how our brain processes information from our environment. Do we truly see everything exactly as it is? How well can you notice changes? She'll explore these questions and more, so tune in to learn!

Please join us tonight for our first seminar of 2024, in person @BerkeleyPublic and on Zoom to hear about the work UC Berkeley researchers are doing to understand how we see! #SciComm

I'm giving a hybrid talk tomorrow 5:30 pm EST at Berkeley Public Library invited by @PtSB_Berkeley : "Shedding Light on the Mysteries of Radioactivity: From Discovery to Modern Applications" ☢️🤩 general audience talk, feel free to join ♥️ @BerkeleyLab berkeleypubliclibrary.org/events/researc…

For all those interested, please feel free to join us either live at the library or over Zoom (bit.ly/PtSBBerkeley)! We strive to make our talks accessible for a general audience so that anyone can learn about what scientists are working on now! All are welcome! #scicomm

We're also thrilled to have @alexia_cosby from Berkeley National Lab to update us on radiation! The discovery of radiation has led to many advances in scientific discovery and can even be harnessed for medical applications! We look forward to hearing about where the field is now!

It's seminar night! We're excited to have two amazing speakers this month talking about how the brain encodes decision making, and what scientists are currently up to with radioactivity! Please join us at 5:30pm PDT either over zoom or LIVE at @BerkeleyPublic Central Branch!

These questions and more will be explored at 5:30pm tonight, at @BerkeleyPublic Central Branch in the 1st Floor Commons Area, or on Zoom at bit.ly/PtSBBerkeley! We're excited to see you all and host such a wonderful pair of speakers! All are welcome to join!

We'll also be joined by Yasmin (@YMMGraham) to explore how bioengineers are working to help paralyzed individuals to regain motor control through brain-computer interfaces. How can we build prosthetics that "read" brain signals to react to patients' commands?

After a long hiatus, we're finally live! We're thrilled to have our first seminar back with two great speakers tonight at 5:30pm for our May event! If you can't make it in person - don't worry, we're staying hybrid! Join us on zoom or @BerkeleyPublic for tonight's seminar!
