DESCRIPTION:Public-private partnerships in space operations are blurring the boundaries between civil, military and commercial space activities. With many countries striving to build new weapons and compete in the world market and China talking about laying claim to the moon, how does one establish a non-proliferation treaty for demilitarizing outer space? Is this within the realm of possibility or mere fantasy? How does one prevent satellite based nuclear launch sites and directed beam weapons from being used to destroy a target on earth? How can this process be contained and new weapons systems monitored?\n\n\n\nDistinguished Panelists: \n\n\n\nDr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, currently the Director of the Hayden Planetarium at the Rose Center for Earth and Space and is involved in the department of astrophysics at the American Museum of Natural History.

We're reading Donovan Hohn's book, Moby-Duck: The True Story of 28,800 Bath Toys Lost at Sea and of the Beachcombers, Oceanographers, Environmentalists, and Fools, Including the Author, Who Went in Search of Them.\n\n\n\n"Like Bill Bryson on hard science, or John McPhee with attitude, journalist Hohn travels from beaches to factories to the northern seas in pursuit of a treasure that mystifies as much as it provokes. His quest is to determine what happened to a load of 28,800 Chinese manufactured plastic animals in a container that fell off a ship en route to Seattle in 1992. Hohn's inquiry leads him to the plastic-strewn beaches of an Alaskan island, a Hong Kong toy fair, and the Sesame Street origins of the rubber duck's popularity. By turns thoughtful, bemused, or shocked, Hohn finds the story growing beyond his wildest visions as he learns about the science of ocean currents and drift and the lure of cheap plastic in a consumer culture that has dangerously lost its way. The resulting book is a thoroughly engaging environmental/travel title that crosses partisan divides with its solid research and apolitical nature. Rubber ducks as harmless, ubiquitous symbols of childhood? Not anymore, not by a long shot. This dazzles from start to finish." – from the Booklist starred review \n\n\n\nWhether you've already read this intriguing book or it's new to you, we would love for you to join our conversation.

He was part of the flourishing Jewish population in the city of Stanislawow, now part of Ukraine. His father had been an officer in the Austrian and Polish armies. His mother was proud of her upper-class background. He inherited his blond hair and blue eyes from her. One can't help but wonder if those eyes helped him survive. Not just their Aryan color, which, at age 86, is still a clear grey-blue, but the way in which he uses them. When he talks to you, smiling or sober-faced, he looks you straight in the eye. It's hard to look away. The Nazis ripped away everything that was dear to him, but John Saunders, D52, was determined to write his own ending to his story. Come hear first-hand the experiences of Dr. John Saunders.\n\n\n\nSaturday, May 19, 9:30 am, Barnum 008\n\nJackson 1962: Our 50-Year Journey—Overcoming Barriers, Social Pressures and Tradition\n\n\n\nWe graduated from Jackson College in 1962. Unless you were interested in a career in nursing, teaching, government service or the telephone company, your options were limited. But social turmoil was changing our world, and some of us saw opportunities not available to previous generations of women. \n\n\n\nWe invite you to attend our Super Seminar and hear how four amazing women dreamed big dreams and lived a life they probably could not have imaged! While we're talking, we hope you'll be thinking of something from your own experience that you would like to share during the question and answer period.\n\n\n\nModerator:\n\nJoyce Shushan Barsam, Trustee Emerita of Tufts University and national leader of the Armenian-American communityNancy Agress Brodsky: How Resigning from a Teaching Job Led to a Harvard Ph D.Dorothy Murphy Meletzke: Dealing with the "Skirt Line" in a Male-Dominated Military Organization Nancy Elliott Blethen: How One Lone Jackson Grad Beat over 100 Male Applicants for a Coveted Executive PositionLinda Malm: From Playboy Bunny to College DeanAfter hearing from our speakers, we will welcome comments, questions and personal stories from the audience.\n\nThis seminar sponsored by the Association of Tufts Alumnae, ATA. \n\n\n\nSaturday, May 19, 2:15 pm, Pearson 104\n\nAstronaut Rick Hauck, A62, H07, A87P, J92P,—Human Spaceflight - Where Have We Been and Where are We Going?\n\n\n\nIn the 60's and 70's the United States celebrated the success of the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs, highlighted by the success of the mission of Apollo 11 and its crew of Collins, Aldrin and Armstrong, the latter two stepping on the moon.
