William Rickus presents The Miraculous Sex Life of Eels
Eels living in fresh and brackish waters throughout North America all leave the continent to gather in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean in the fall to spawn and die. Their eggs float northward in the Gulf Stream as they transform into larval eels that somehow know to swim west to North American rivers and estuaries. After 10-20 years living and growing inland, they swim back out into the Atlantic spawning grounds. Think about how the DNA in an eel egg includes the instructions to direct the larval eels to go west into freshwater and to lead the adult eels to find each other in one location in the vast ocean😳. Definitely miraculous!!
Luis Seixas presents Art and Science in collision. An introduction to Art Conservation
There are still misconceptions about art conservation. Are you an artist? People often ask. Sort of. Or, do you really use saliva to clean fine art? And that’s a solid, yes, I do. What attracted me to art conservation was the problem-solving, specifically of complex materials like ancient bronzes. There’s also the obvious head crash between arts and science – chemistry and physics in particular. It is exactly in the right balance of knowledge and proficiency in these opposite fields, that the solutions for the incessant work for preservation of the world’s cultural heritage rely upon.
Karli Kucko presents Becoming a Vulvagenius: Unlocking the Secrets to Women’s Pleasure
Women are 3x more likely to “O” in relationships with other women than with men, and most women in relationships with men say they have faked it. Despite men’s best efforts and intentions, many are not equipped with the knowledge they need to really knock her socks off. In this spicy talk, we’ll bust some common myths about female pleasure, explore what men get wrong, and give you one simple but powerful framework to immediately level up your confidence and connection in bed. If you’ve ever felt unsure, stuck, or like your partner’s body is a mystery, this is your chance to change that. Come get a taste—pun intended.
