SUMMARY:The 31st First Annual Ig Nobel Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Presenters include Frances Arnold and Barry Sharpless\nSponsored by Improbable Research\n3pm-4pm\, Online on YouTube\, Free\, Learn more (no registration required)\n\nThe 2021 Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony & Webcast \n“The 31st First Annual Ig Nobel Prize ceremony will happen on Thursday\, September 9\, 2021\, beginning at 3 pm (Pacific Time). Because of the Covid-19 pandemic\, the ceremony will again be entirely online. There will be a special livestream in Japanese (on the Nico Nico network). There might also be a special livestream in Spanish (that’s not definite yet\, but we are hopeful.) \nTen new Ig Nobel Prize winners will be introduced. Each has done something that makes people LAUGH\, then THINK. \nThe prizes will be handed out by this gaggle of Nobel laureates: \n\nRich Roberts (physiology or medicine\, 1993)\nFrances Arnold (chemistry\, 2018)\nMarty Chalfie (chemistry\, 2008)\nEric Maskin (economics\, 2007)\nBarry Sharpless (chemistry\, 2001)\nRobert Lefkowitz (chemistry\, 2012)\nCarl Weiman (physics\, 2001)\nEric Cornell (physics\, 2001)\nJerome Friedman (physics\, 1990)\n\nThe theme of this year’s ceremony is ENGINEERING. A new mini-opera\, called “A Bridge Between People”\, amplifies that theme. \nThe ceremony will also include the 24/7 Lectures\, in which the lecturers explain their topic first in 24 SECONDS\, then in seven WORDS. \nThis year’s lecturers and their topics: \n\n Gwinyai Masukume: Drinking Coffee\n Françoise Brochard: Soft Matter\n Chaouki Abdallah: Feedback Control\n Patricia Yang: Excretion Dynamics\nIman Farahbakhsh: Baby-Washing Technology”\n\nFor details\, see the ceremony web page: https://www.improbable.com/ig/2021-ceremony/

SUMMARY:Silicon Valley ACS Annual Picnic and Awards
DESCRIPTION:The deadline for registration is Wednesday\, July 14\, 2021.\nRegistration is required  in order to be sure there’s plenty to eat.  Meals will be packaged individually. \nWe are delighted to announce that our first 2021 in-person event is the annual SVACS July picnic and awards.  We will celebrate together with wine- and beer-tasting\, good food and awards. \nYour safety is our priority. After careful consideration of CDC guidelines\, scientific advice\, and the ongoing issue of variants\, we request all attendees self-certify their vaccine status and encourage all attendees to wear face coverings during the event while not eating or drinking. \nIn this year of transition back to in-person events\, some picnic traditions will be modified.  The picnic will be completely outdoors and will last two hours.  The awards recognition for fifty- and sixty-year ACS members will be brief and won’t include honorees’ sharing their  experiences and stories\, so chat them up over wine and dinner!  The Radding Award presentation will also be abbreviated. \nWe are looking forward to meeting in person again. \nDownload and share the colorful poster
