SUMMARY:VIRTUAL - A Journey into the Hidden World of Tropical Bats with Scientists from the Smithsonian Trop
DESCRIPTION:Join us in kicking off October as we welcome three Smithsonian-affiliated scientists to teach us about the remarkable world of tropical bats! \nClick HERE to register. \nFor decades\, scientists at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute have studied the remarkable biodiversity of bats on Barro Colorado Island in Panama\, where an astonishing seventy-six species coexist. Now\, for the first time\, Smithsonian scientists’ expertise pairs with the stunning photography of National Geographic contributor Christian Ziegler for a captivating visual journey into the fascinating world of these elusive night creatures\, to bring you the book Bat Island: A Rare Journey into the Hidden World of Tropical Bats. \nBats are unique among mammals: they have acquired true flight\, they provide essential ecosystem services\, and represent the ecologically most diverse group of mammals worldwide. Synthesizing decades-worth of intensive study\, Drs. Rachel Page\, Dina Dechmann\, Teague O’Mara\, and Marco Tschapka provide authoritative insight alongside 150 photographs that showcase bats’ extraordinary environmental adaptations and rich natural history. \nThis presentation will cover topics from the book\, such as the diverse sensory abilities of bats\, their foraging strategies\, roosting ecologies\, and social systems. Bat Island presents decades of study of the hyper diverse bat population on Barro Colorado Island in addition to the most comprehensive and long-term datasets on tropical bats. The book and this presentation highlights how bats are threatened by habitat fragmentation and land degradation\, and communicate the initiatives needed to ensure the survival of these animals\, which are critical to maintaining healthy\, balanced ecosystems. \nAnd let’s not forget\, the award-winning photojournalist Christian Ziegler’s photography as the images within the book illuminate the unique beauty and allure of bats and the tropical rainforest in Panama. Register now for this rare look into Bat Island!

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL - Capturing the Human Drama of 9/11 and D-Day Through Oral History with Garrett Graff
DESCRIPTION:Don’t forget to REGISTER for this incredibly moving virtual chat with New York Times bestselling author Garrett Graff! An expert at capturing the human drama\, Graff will speak about his body of work with particular focus on his oral histories\, The Only Plane in the Sky: An Oral History of 9/11 and When the Sea Came Alive: An Oral History of D-Day. \nMuch has been written and said about the terrorist attacks of September 11\, 2001\, and the profound impact they had on America and the world. But those names\, stories\, and memories have never before been collected in one place to tell the full\, 360-degree story of what happened that day\, and in the days after. In The Only Plane in the Sky\, award-winning journalist Garrett Graff draws on never-before-published transcripts\, recently declassified documents\, and original interviews and stories from nearly five hundred government officials\, first responders\, witnesses\, survivors\, friends\, and family members to paint the most comprehensive\, minute-by-minute account of the September 11 attacks yet\, all told in the words of those who experienced that dramatic and tragic day. \nIn his most recent work\, When the Sea Came Alive\, Graff explores the full impact of a world changing event: D-Day\, one of history’s greatest and most unbelievable military and human triumphs. Though the full campaign lasted just over a month\, the surprise landing of over 150\,000 Allied troops on the morning of June 6\, 1944\, is understood to be the moment that turned the tide for the Allied forces and ultimately led to the defeat of the Axis powers in World War II. This book dives deep into the complexities—from the secret creation of landing plans by top government and military officials and organization of troops\, to the moment the boat doors opened to reveal the beach where men fought for their lives and the future of the free world. \nGraff’s work\, filled with impressive detail\, captures a human drama and history like no other. Register today! \nAbout the Author: \nGarrett M. Graff has spent nearly two decades covering politics\, technology\, and national security. The former editor of Politico and contributor to Wired and CNN\, he’s written for publications from Esquire to Rolling Stone to The New York Times\, and today serves as the director of the cyber initiative at the Aspen Institute. Graff is the author of multiple books\, including the FBI history The Threat Matrix\, Raven Rock (about the government’s Cold War Doomsday plans)\, When the Sea Came Alive (an oral history of D-Day)\, and the New York Times bestsellers The Only Plane in the Sky and Watergate\, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in History.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL - The Golden Ticket to College Admissions Is Not What You Think
DESCRIPTION:Another college application season is around the corner\, and stress is already beginning to ratchet up for teens and their parents. You’re invited to join us for this must-watch talk by Irena Smith\, PhD. You will hear about constructive and healthy ways to approach the college application process\, preserve your relationship with your teen\, and help them define success on their terms instead of chasing the elusive “golden ticket.” \nREGISTER HERE \nIrena is a former Stanford Admissions Officer who has spent 18 years advising accomplished\, tightly-wound students in Palo Alto and around the world. She saw firsthand the extreme measures parents took to help their children gain admission to highly selective colleges and the toll it took on the children as well as on their parents. \nAt the same time\, Irena’s own children struggled with developmental delays\, learning differences\, severe depression\, and anxiety. She kept her double life—successful college counselor at work\, anxious mom at home—tightly under wraps for years until a stunning realization: she was exactly like the anxious parents of the students she worked with\, all of whom were equally terrified about their children’s future. Irena’s memoir\, The Golden Ticket: A Life in College Admissions Essays\, which candidly explores her personal as well as professional life\, was published in 2023\, and she has since devoted her time to speaking out about hard things: the heavy burden of generational expectations\, teen and young adult mental health\, and the importance of embracing a broader\, more generous vision of what it means to succeed. To learn more about Irena’s personal experience as a parent\, professional experience as a college admissions officer\, and leave with tips on how to help your child approach the application process in practical\, healthy ways–register now!

DESCRIPTION:Another college application season is around the corner\, and stress is already beginning to ratchet up for teens and their parents. You’re invited to join us for this must-watch talk by Irena Smith\, PhD. You will hear about constructive and healthy ways to approach the college application process\, preserve your relationship with your teen\, and help them define success on their terms instead of chasing the elusive “golden ticket.” \nREGISTER HERE \nIrena is a former Stanford Admissions Officer who has spent 18 years advising accomplished\, tightly-wound students in Palo Alto and around the world. She saw firsthand the extreme measures parents took to help their children gain admission to highly selective colleges and the toll it took on the children as well as on their parents. \nAt the same time\, Irena’s own children struggled with developmental delays\, learning differences\, severe depression\, and anxiety. She kept her double life—successful college counselor at work\, anxious mom at home—tightly under wraps for years until a stunning realization: she was exactly like the anxious parents of the students she worked with\, all of whom were equally terrified about their children’s future. Irena’s memoir\, The Golden Ticket: A Life in College Admissions Essays\, which candidly explores her personal as well as professional life\, was published in 2023\, and she has since devoted her time to speaking out about hard things: the heavy burden of generational expectations\, teen and young adult mental health\, and the importance of embracing a broader\, more generous vision of what it means to succeed. To learn more about Irena’s personal experience as a parent\, professional experience as a college admissions officer\, and leave with tips on how to help your child approach the application process in practical\, healthy ways–register now!
