U-M Research Scientist Duncan Callaway (Natural Resources & Environment and Mechanical Engineering) and U-M Professor Tom Lyon (Business Economics and Natural Resources and Environment) explore the politics, business and science of Great Lakes wind energy. Sponsored by the Energy Futures Theme Semester of the U-M College of Literature, Science, and the Arts. Join us for hors d’oeuvres at 5:30 and a brief presentation at 6:00 pm, followed by discussion. Participants must be 21 to purchase alcoholic beverages. Everyone is welcome and invited to purchase additional food and beverages. 11th Annual Family Halloween Party Sunday, 10/26/2008; 12:00 PM to 05:00 PM Have a Halloween that’s fun, safe — and educational as well! By combining entertaining activities with informal science learning, the Exhibit Museum’s Family Halloween Party has become one of the most popular Halloween activities in the area. On Sunday, October 26th, partygoers will journey through the Museum, discovering special stations and displays full of hands-on activities. Many favorite stations will be back, along with new stations, and live animals! Come in costume (not required, but recommended) and don’t forget your goodie bag — we’ll be handing out treats. The party is suitable for all ages, and is FREE! No reservations or tickets are necessary. For more information, call 734-764-0478 or email kelsul@umich.edu. Sponsored by Kiwanis of Ann Arbor. Public Lecture: The Biggest Experiment in the World: A Particle Physics Primer Thursday, 10/30/2008; 07:30 PM to 09:00 PM The Large Hadron Collider, straddling the border between France and Switzerland, is a monumental undertaking. The construction of this mammoth machine has spanned a decade and has required the work of thousands of scientists and engineers. Physicists hope that this project will shed light on perhaps the most basic of questions: What is the universe made of? U-M Professor Aaron Pierce (Physics) will give an introduction to the science of the very small, explain how it will be probed at this (very big) collider and why physicists are so excited about it. Reception follows. Science Café: Balance of Power? Prospects for Renewable and Non-renewable Energy Wednesday, 11/05/2008; 06:00 PM to 7:30 PM At Conor O'Neill's Traditional Irish Pub, 318 S. Main St., AnnArbor. Join Steve Kesler of the University of Michigan Department of Geological Sciences and Greg Keoleian, Co-director of the Center for Sustainable Systems in the U-M School of Natural Resources and the Environment for a look at the political, economic, and technical prospects for both renewable and non-renewable energy resources. How can we meet tomorrow’s needs for energy? Where should we put our investment today? How will policy decisions play out in Michigan and what role can consumers play in achieving a sustainable energy future? On the day after the presidential election, this café is sure to be a forum for lively debate, so please come early to assure a seat. Sponsored by the Energy Futures Theme Semester of the U-M College of Literature, Science, and the Arts.
