Stop Goofing Off and Get Back to Work!

Well, I've finally unpacked my bags, recovered from New Year's, and now it's time to get back to work. After a short break, science events will begin again this week. Here's a look at what's happening on Tuesday, the 6th:

The How and Why of Climate Change and What It Means for the Future
For those who haven't heard about the greenhouse effect or global warming, there will be a chance to learn about it once and for all. Edmond Mathez, AMNH curator and author of a new book on climate change, will show how we know climate change is real and talk about the repercussions that may occur if we ignore the warning signs. He will also be talking about what we can do to prevent global warming.

Malcolm Gladwell: The Science of Success
The author of The Tipping Point and Outliers will be at the 92nd Street Y to talk about people who have stood out in modern history such as Bill Gates and the Beatles. What is the basis for their success, and what do they do differently from everybody else? Gladwell will offer his opinions and observations on the topic. Tickets are sold out, but may be available one hour before the lecture.
