SUMMARY:Webcast: A First Look at Oregon's River Democracy Act
DESCRIPTION:Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley introduced the Oregon River Democracy Act of 2021 to better protect clean drinking water sources\, recreational opportunities\, and wildlife habitat. This historic bill proposes expanding Oregon’s network of Wild & Scenic Rivers by nearly 4\,700 miles and would protect segments of numerous key rivers across the state\, from the desert streams of Owyhee country to the roaring rivers of the Coast Range. \n  \nThis legislation is the result of a groundbreaking grassroots nomination\, multi-year vetting process\, and the work of hundreds of activists and river enthusiasts cheerleading for their backyard rivers\, drinking watersheds\, fishing holes\, hiking trails\, kayak routes\, and love of the wildlands and rivers of Oregon. \nJoin Oregon Wild and the Oregon Natural Desert Association give an overview of this incredible legislation and the historic opportunity it presents to protect our rivers as a legacy for future generations.

SUMMARY:Nature Night-The Importance of Insects
DESCRIPTION:Insects play major roles in keeping the natural world healthy and functioning. Not only do they feed (and eat) many other animals\, but insects also cycle nutrients\, aerate soil\, decompose decaying matter\, and help pollinate over 80% of the world’s flowering plants\, including many of our crops. Despite their importance\, recent evidence suggests that between 10-40% of insects are at risk of disappearing. These declines are most clearly documented in charismatic insects such as butterflies\, bumble bees\, and tiger beetles. Join Deschutes Land Trust and Dr. Tara Cornelisse for a talk on the importance of insects in the natural world. Dr. Cornelisse will share details on the role that insects play in nature\, major challenges that insects face\, and the stories of some rare and some common insects you are likely to encounter in Central Oregon. Dr. Cornelisse will also offer actions you can take to enjoy and protect insects in your own backyard. \n***This virtual event is free and registration is required. Registration for this event will open on January 17th.***\n\n

SUMMARY:Celebrating Black History Month with Dr. Doug Luffborough (Dr. Luff)
DESCRIPTION:In recognition of Black History Month COCC is honored to welcome MOsley WOtta\, Arielle Estoria\, and Dr. Doug Luffborough to share stories of black triumph. Through poetry and storytelling we will celebrate the past and present triumphs of the black community while continuing our efforts to challenge oppressive systems and strive toward a more equitable future. \nDr. Doug Luffborough (Dr. Luff) overcame fatherlessness\, homelessness\, and unjust systems to be the first in his family to attend college. Chosen by his class at Northeastern University to be the commencement speaker\, he thoroughly impressed one attendee in particular\, President Bill Clinton. President Clinton invited Dr. Luff and his mother to the White House where he promised to write a letter of recommendation for Luff’s application to a Harvard Graduate program. Dr. Luff then went on to the University of San Diego where he received his Ph.D. in Leadership studies.

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture: Einstein\, Eddington\, and the Challenges of Observational Astronomy
DESCRIPTION:In December 2020\, Paul Poncy\, observatory staff astronomer\, traveled to Chile to help conduct an experiment during the solar eclipse. In partnership with scientists from Portland Community College and the Oregon NASA Space Grant Consortium\, the group set out to conduct a modern version of the Eddington experiment – an observational test of General Relativity that was first conducted in 1919 and led to support of Albert Einstein’s theory. The goal of the experiment was to use modern day cameras and equipment to reproduce more accurate data; in the end however\, weather conditions prevented data collection during the actual event. During this lecture Paul will share his experience preparing for the experiment\, traveling to Chile\, and future plans for this experiment.
