Lessons from the Lab: A Path to Scientific EnlightenmentPresenter: Raeanne Napoleon. The goal of this session is to engage faculty and staff in a discourse about science that is applicable to daily life. The topics discussed were chosen because they seem to be somewhat controversial for citizens, yet incredibly important for everyone to have a firm understanding of in our society. The topics are not necessarily controversial for scientists, yet it is hard to change public opinion never the less. The participating panelists will be comprised of some SBCC Instructors from a wide range of specialties (including physics, chemistry, geology, anthropology, biology, and philosophy). This session will allow the Santa Barbara City College community to ask scientists intriguing and interesting questions that are relevant to their life and the world around them in an effort to promote global responsibility and understanding of the world in which we live. Topics that will be covered, but aren’t limited to: global warming, chemicals found in food and products(dangerous vs. media hype), GMOs, fracking, vaccines,and many more. If you have something that you’d like to discuss with colleagues, please do not hesitate to offer it during the session itself. A similar event has been held the past two semesters here at SBCC and is turning into an all-campus tradition helping SBCC students become comfortable with scientific debates and navigating charged political and social issues.Registration Limit: 96Location: EBS-309

Learn the art of crochet and how the real world inspires science which inspires mathematics, which inspires science in a grand circular pattern. Crochet actually gets its name from the tool used to create this needlework: “crochet” means hook in French. Using just one hook and one thread, loops are pulled through and joined to each other, producing different stitches and effects depending on how many loops are pulled through and where they are joined. Crochet was first used in 16th Century Europe for fine work such as making lace. Over the years this use has expanded to afghans, rugs, clothing and utilitarian items such as potholders and wash cloths. Crochet, like other needlecrafts, provides an individual with a method for creative expression. It is also a great way to relieve stress. This class is designed for beginners. Students will learn the tools of the trade: yarns, hooks and accessories. The class will cover the basic stitches, chain, slip, single crochet, half-double, double and triple. Students will learn how to hold the hook, how to increase and decrease, how to form a ring and fasten off. Materials will be provided.Registration Limit: 18Location: CC-223
