SUMMARY:Carolina Science Cafe: Balancing Act
DESCRIPTION:Balancing Act: The Science of Pain\, Fatigue\, and Falls in Aging\n\n\n\nNow is the time for innovation in our efforts to engineer solutions to help people age gracefully – from preserving independence and enhancing community accessibility to preventing falls. In this talk\, Dr. Jason Franz\, a professor of biomedical engineering\, will summarize the latest in the UNC Applied Biomechanics Laboratory’s use of principles from neural control\, biomechanics\, wearable sensing\, and rehabilitation robotics to solve one of our society’s grand challenges. \n\n\n\n\n\nDesigned for adults\, Carolina Science Cafe is a free program that explores science topics making national and international headlines and offers the chance to meet the experts behind the work. This special program is hosted at Haw River Tap & Table in Carrboro on the first Tuesday of every month. Light appetizers are available for all attendees.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\nDr. Jason Franz (he/him) received his B.S. (2004) and M.S. (2006) degrees in Engineering Mechanics from Virginia Tech and\, after serving as a staff scientist in PM&R at the University of Virginia\, received his Ph.D. (2012) in Integrative Physiology from the University of Colorado\, Boulder. He then completed an NIH Post-Doctoral Fellowship in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In 2015\, Dr. Franz joined the Lampe Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University and is now a Full Professor and Director of the UNC Applied Biomechanics Laboratory.  \n\n\n\nDr. Franz’s research takes a mechanisms-based approach in rehabilitation engineering to develop solutions to help people age gracefully. He is the author of over 150 publications and currently serves as Principal Investigator on multiple NIH-funded research projects\, all predominantly focused on rehabilitation engineering strategies to mitigate age- and disease-related mobility impairment and falls risk. He also serves as Faculty Director for Postdoctoral Success\, where he supports the success\, recruitment\, and workforce development of postdoctoral trainees across the UNC School of Medicine. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nView Dr. Franz’s Work\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCarolina Science Cafe is produced by Morehead Planetarium and Science Center and sponsored by the UNC Chapter of Sigma Xi. \n\n\n\nYou do not need to register…just show up!

SUMMARY:Skywatching at Little River Regional Park
DESCRIPTION:Join Morehead Planetarium and Science Center and Chapel Hill Astronomical and Observational Society (CHAOS) for skywatching at Little River Regional Park! On this night\, we’ll be focusing on Saturn’s nearly edge-on rings. \n\n\n\nThis is an informal session\, so you can arrive and leave at any time during the program. However\, if you plan to attend\, we suggest bringing a blanket or chairs and some snacks so you can relax under the stars.  \n\n\n\nWe ask that you leave all pets at home\, even those on a leash. Darkness\, lots of people\, expensive telescopes\, and pets are a bad combination. Pets will not be permitted near the telescopes. \n\n\n\nPlease note that this event is weather-dependent. In the event of a cancellation\, we will provide updates on our website and social media. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHave more questions about skywatching? Visit our FAQs page! \n\n\n\n\nSkywatching FAQs
