SUMMARY:What Happened Before the Big Bang? with Ethan Siegel
DESCRIPTION:In the 1920’s\, cosmologists theorized that the Universe originated from a hotter\, denser state: this led to what we know today as the Big Bang. By extrapolating backwards to a variety of temperatures and times\, we were able to predict a number of consequences of this scenario. But this extrapolation led to problems as well: things that were observed but weren’t predicted. Scientists couldn’t simply give up and conclude that we couldn’t figure out what came before the beginning. Ethan Siegel will share how the last 40 years of research has uncovered what happened before – and beyond – the Big Bang\, and where the frontiers of knowledge are today.

SUMMARY:Harney County Migratory Bird Festival
DESCRIPTION:Spend an amazing weekend witnessing the spectacular spring  migration in the Harney Basin of Southeast Oregon. View thousands of migratory birds as they rest and feed in the open spaces of Oregon’s  high desert. Held annually in April in Harney County. \nThe Harney County Migratory Bird Festival was first held in 1981 ​to celebrate the large annual migration of birds passing through Harney Basin on the Pacific Flyway. Harney Basin is one of the three most important areas left in the western United States for spring migratory birds stopping on their way north. \n​Over 300 species of birds use the refuge throughout each year\, making Harney Basin a bird watcher’s paradise. Today\, we continue to celebrate the migratory birds’ return each year with guided tours led by experts\, workshops\, and fun activities for both youth and adults.

SUMMARY:Webcast: Oregon as Bygone Bison Range & Grizzly Country
DESCRIPTION:Oregon’s incredible wildlands are inhabited by an abundant diversity of fish and wildlife. But some of the heftiest members of the state’s native megafauna club no longer range its forests\, hills\, and valleys. Naturalist Ethan Shaw explores the history of two of the West’s most iconic species – the mighty American bison and grizzly bear – and their relationship to Oregon. Ethan dives into some of what we know about the where and the when of these big beasts in the Beaver State and how they may have once integrated into local ecosystems and touches a little on what possible future the bison and grizzly could have here.

SUMMARY:The Science of Happiness with Catherine A. Sanderson\, Ph. D.
DESCRIPTION:This talk will present both surprising and not-so-surprising information on the science behind happiness. What role do money\, marriage\, friends\, children\, weather\, age and religion play in making us feel happier? Is happiness stable over time? How can happiness be increased? How has COVID-19 changed this? Professor Sanderson will describe cutting-edge research from the field of positive psychology on the factors that do (and do not) predict happiness\, and provide practical (and relatively easy!) ways to increase psychological well-being.
