SUMMARY:Town Talk: Small Molecules at the Origins of Life
DESCRIPTION:This town talk will be presented by David Lancy\, University of Buffalo. \nHow did the atoms in the universe come together to form life? At the heart of this mystery is the conversion of small molecules into the building blocks of life\, driven by metallocofactors—enzyme-like catalysts conserved across all domains of life. The chemical ancestors of these metallocofactors are thought to have been active prior to the traditional bounds of life\, such as dynamic molecular architectures at mineral surfaces in early oceans. Understanding these chemistries in unusual abiotic environments enables unique insight into how life may have started and evolved into its present form. In this talk\, I will share some of the exciting new developments in the science of extraterrestrial photosynthesis (the search for light-harvesting life on other planets) and other metal-based processes that underpin life on Earth\, and possibly the cosmos.

SUMMARY:Bluegrass Eve
DESCRIPTION:Bluegrass Eve is a continuation of Planet Bluegrass’ pre-festival musical kickoff celebration! It’s a Wednesday night show before the Festival begins on Thursday. Held in Mountain Village at the Telluride Conference Center\, just a short walk from Sunset Plaza (where we hold FirstGrass)\, it’s the perfect way to start your Bluegrass weekend. \nRide the free gondola from Telluride and step into the spirit of the festival early! \n9 p.m. – Members of Salmon & Friends All-Star Jam

SUMMARY:Town Talk: Can we change the weather (and do we really want to?)
DESCRIPTION:This town talk will be presented by Derek Posselt\, Principal Scientist\, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. \nIf you live on planet Earth\, you have had to worry about the weather at some point. Most of us have heard some version of the expression: “If you don’t like the weather\, wait 5 minutes\, and it will change.” Many of us wish we had the ability to do something about it. This is not a new impulse. Humans have been trying to change the weather for over a century. Posselt will review the ways people have tried to modify the weather\, what has worked (and what hasn’t)\, and whether it is\, in fact\, a good idea to try in the first place.
