R. Hechter: Chasing Aurora: Using authentic context for STEM Brussels, Belgium
This document outlines plans to develop a STEM curriculum focused on studying the aurora borealis. It discusses using the aurora as an authentic context to teach science, technology, engineering, art and math concepts. The curriculum would involve students learning fundamentals at home and then communicating in real-time with researchers in Manitoba, who are working to capture photos and study the aurora. Future plans include revising the companion curriculum, partnering with schools worldwide on an "overhead view" experiment, and visiting Churchill multiple times per year to continue developing the project.
William Hayward Pickering was a New Zealand-born rocket scientist who played a key role in the development of missiles and rockets for the US Army and NASA's early space exploration efforts. As part of these teams, his specialty was telemetry, or sending and receiving data and measurements over long distances. He helped achieve several major milestones, including the first US satellite in space in 1958 and the first manned moon landing in 1969. Pickering had a distinguished career at the California Institute of Technology and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where he served as director for 22 years and helped pioneer the United States' space program.
Stephen Hawking is a renowned British theoretical physicist known for his contributions to cosmology and general relativity, especially for his theory on black holes. Some of his honors include being elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1974 and receiving the 2015 BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award. As his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis progressed, Hawking accepted the role of being a disability advocate and role model. He has said that philosophy is dead and that science now leads the pursuit of knowledge, answering philosophical problems through new scientific theories.
This mortality conference discusses the case of a 70-year-old female patient who presented with numbness and pain in both feet and was found to have peripheral artery disease. She underwent an angioplasty procedure which resulted in bleeding from the puncture site that caused hypovolemic shock. Despite extensive resuscitative efforts, she expired. The discussion focuses on preventative measures for puncture site bleeding complications, including careful site selection, use of closure devices, and placement of stent grafts.

Lec16 International Strategies for Scientific DialogueJanet Stemwedel
International strategies for scientific dialogue discusses various cultural influences on scientific communities and how scientists navigate these differences. Some key points summarized:
1. Local cultures and institutions can influence how science is practiced differently than an idealized meritocratic model. Hierarchies form within communities based on factors like field of study or country of origin.
2. Japanese scientists aim to participate globally while maintaining their national identity, but risk being seen as "strange" if habits from abroad are acknowledged.
3. The Tsukuba Science City project departed from traditional Japanese models by focusing on a less prestigious field outside standard university channels. This lowered their status nationally but raised it internationally in that field.
The document summarizes a panel discussion on the existence of extraterrestrial life. The panel included experts in physics, theology, journalism, and venture capital.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

3. A vivid scientific life
Paolo Farinella of the University of Pisa and Donald Davis of the Planetary Science
Institute in Tuscon, Arizona, claim that although the Kuiper Belt is vast, so many
objects orbit near the same plane that many collisions are likely to have taken place
during the life of the Solar System (Science, vol 273, p 938).
Davis and P. Farinella U. of Pisa put forth a new paradigm for the evolution of
short period comets as part of their studies of the collisional evolution of small
bodies of the solar system.
As a planetary scientist, his work changed our view of the solar system
revolutionizing the way we understand the orbital and collisional histories of
asteroids. More than most scientists, he understood the physics, the mathematics
and the data equally well.
5. Yarkovsky effect
• His main field of research, and the one dearest
to him, was on the Yarkovsky effect.
• Farinella's study of this effect represents the
peak of a lifetime of research on
interplanetary dynamics and the collisionary
evolution of asteroids.
• His many articles and publications have
received international recognition, and serve
to reflect his vast scientific production.
6. Science for Peace
• SCIENCE FOR PEACE series
• Paolo was member of the Scientific Council of “Unione
Scienziati Per Il Disarmo” and the Forum on the Problems of
Peace and War.
• Paolo began his 14-year association with Pugwash by
attending the 1986 Pugwash Workshop, "Conventional Forces
in Europe", in Castiglioncello, Italy.
• He attended a total of eight Pugwash conferences and
workshops, the last of which was the 1992 42nd Conference:
"Shaping Our Common Future: Dangers and Opportunities" in
Berlin, Germany.
7. Popularization
• GAV ( Gruppo Astronomico di
Viareggio) Honorary President
• Benché il nostro sia il paese di Galileo, non si può dire che in
esso la scienza goda di buona salute.
• Le nostre spese per la ricerca non superano l’ 1,5% del
prodotto nazionale lordo, circa la metà rispetto agli altri
paesi industriali avanzati; gran parte di tali risorse sono
destinate a finanziare ricerca industriale e applicata, non
ricerca fondamentale; l’insegnamento della scienza nella
scuola, in particolare nella scuola media, è
quantitativamente ridotto e spesso qualitativamente
scadente; e per quanto riguarda i media, dominano in
questo campo il sensazionalismo, la superficialità,
l’approssimazione.
• Tutto ciò non è un caso: ancor oggi la cultura dominante in
Italia vede la scienza come un insieme di specialismi e di
tecniche, magari utili ed efficaci, ma inesorabilmente aride,
noiose, criptiche.
• Corrado Lamberti will surely speack about his work with
Paolo
9. The different themes
• Planetary science: small
bodies, collisions,
satellites
• Space geodesy and
fundamental physics
• Planetary science and
space debris
• Science popularization
• Social committment of
concerned scientists
10. Thanks Paolo!
• Paolo Farinella will be greatly missed and long
remembered for, as noted by Paolo Cotta
Ramusino "how much his presence has
enriched all of us…”
• We miss his rigor, his sharp intelligence, his
generosity, his youth!
11. Pugwash
• The Pugwash Conferences take their name from the fishing village of
Pugwash, Nova Scotia, site of the first meeting in 1957 which was
attended by 22 eminent scientists (seven from the United States, three
each from the Soviet Union and Japan, two each from the United Kingdom
and Canada, and one each from Australia, Austria, China, France, and
Poland). The stimulus for this first Pugwash meeting was the "Manifesto"
issued in 1955 by Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein, and also signed by
Max Born, Percy Bridgman, Leopold Infeld, Frederic Joliot-Curie, Herman
Muller, Linus Pauling, Cecil Powell, Joseph Rotblat, and Hideki Yukawa,
which called upon scientists of all political persuasions to assemble to
discuss the threat posed to civilization by the advent of thermonuclear
weapons. The 1957 meeting was hosted by the American philanthropist
Cyrus Eaton at Thinkers' Lodge in Pugwash, his birthplace, and Mr. Eaton
continued to provide crucial support for Pugwash in its early years.
