SUMMARY:Lexicon of Sustainability Art Show
DESCRIPTION:Come on down to The Environmental Center to view the ongoing pop-up art show of the Lexicon of Sustainability. This project is based on a simple principle: people can’t be expected to live more sustainable lives if they don’t know the most basic terms and principles that define sustainability. \nBy illuminating the vocabulary of sustainable agriculture\, and with it\, the conversation about America’s rapidly evolving food culture\, the Lexicon of Sustainability educated\, engages\, and activates people to pay closer attention to how they eat\, what they buy\, and where their responsibility begins for creating a healthier\, safer food system in America. \nThe show will be hanging on the outside front porch and in the Audubon room\, High Desert room\, and hallway of The Environmental Center through the rest of July and August. Take your time looking through the art\, and when you are done\, please answer our question: How are you Living the Green in Bend? From all of the answers submitted\, we will be drawing for 2 free tickets to the sold-out Jack Johnson All At Once show on August 24th. The Environmental Center is one of a few nonprofits in OR to be sponsored during this show! Ticket Drawing will take place on August 18th. \nYour answers will also be shared on our website\, in social media (#livingthegreen #inBend)\, and at The Environmental Center. \nIf you are interested in hosting these images at your school\, farm\, or business\, please contact Owen Murphy or call 541-383-7766. Live\, learn\, and inspire!

SUMMARY:Stardust\, Cells\, and Science Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The Origin of Life Revisited \nDr. David Deamer\, Research Professor of Biomolecular Engineering\, UC Santa Cruz \nDr. David Deamer says with well-founded confidence\, ”We will never be able to say with certainty how life did begin\, but we will show how life CAN begin…” Ever since Urey and Miller’s now-famous experiment in 1953 showed that amino acids\, basic building blocks of proteins\, could form spontaneously from simple inorganic molecules of earth’s early atmosphere\, scientists have been making steady progress in understanding how just six elements – carbon\, hydrogen\, oxygen\, nitrogen\, phosphorus and sulfur – can form all of the structures of living cells. Deamer is among a select group of scientists working on the cutting edge of science that is seeking to answer one of mankind’s most fundamental questions: How did life originate? Deamer reminds us that all of the naturally occurring elements on earth were formed billions of years ago  in pre-existing stars that consumed their nuclear fuel and exploded\, violently spewing their own ashes into space\, only to be collected again in new stars and solar systems. As Carl Sagan so eloquently put it “We are all stardust.” \nDr. David Deamer is a Research Professor of Biomolecular Engineering at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. Deamer received his undergraduate degree in Chemistry from Duke University in 1961\, and PhD in Physiological Chemistry at the Ohio State University School of Medicine\, 1965. Deamer\, in collaboration with others\, developed the concept of using nanopore sequencing on DNA molecules.  In a second research area\, he investigates how the first living cells could have produced the membrane compartments needed for the origin of life. \nDeamer is the author or co-author of 200 research papers and review articles\, and the author/editor of 12 books\, including Origins of Life (2010)\, co-edited with Jack Szostak\, and First Life (2011) published by UC Press.  His research has been featured in NOVA and National Geographic programs on life’s origins and artificial life. In 2011\, he led one of three winning teams in the “Origin of Life Challenge\,” a major new prize that awarded significant grants to research into how life began. \nPresented by the Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory\, Bend Research\, CAPSUGEL with support from Oregon Community Foundation and Originlife.org. \nFree and open to the public: advance registration recommended at the Tower Theatre 541.317.0700.
