Five years after the Camp Fire, the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history. The Davis “Science Cafe” holds its 100th event. Five Years After the ‘Camp Fire' On Nov. 8, 2018 the Camp Fire ignited in Butte County and became the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history. In the five years since, survivors in Paradise– and surrounding communities like Magalia, Pulga and Concow– have overcome hurdle after hurdle to rebuild. Jennah Baker helped senior residents escape from Sunshine Assisted Living that fateful day. Jennah was part of a documentary with Insight host Vicki Gonzalez while at KCRA, that followed four families in the year after the Camp Fire. Jennah joins Insight to share what home feels like now. Thousands of students, staff and teachers were impacted by the 2018 Camp Fire. Schools burned down or were seriously damaged, students and teachers fled, and the recovery process has been slow.  But out of the ashes comes hope for a revival of the area's education system, with new buildings and facilities and a return to class. Paradise Unified School District Superintendent Tom Taylor joins us to discuss the journey back to school and what the future holds for the community. 100th Science Cafe On the second Wednesday of every month, the Davis Science Café provides a casual environment for scientists to talk about their research with the general public. On Nov. 8, the free series will be holding its 100th edition at the G Street WunderBar in Davis. Science Café host and founder Dr. Jared Shaw reflects on the history of the series. And guest presenter Dr. Crystal Rogers, Associate Professor in the Department of Anatomy, Physiology and Cell Biology at UC Davis, provides a preview of this month's event “Why Are Faces Different? Genes, the Environment, & Embryonic Development.”

In this episode, we interview Dr. Josh Gladden, Vice Chancellor of Research at the University of Mississippi who gave the first-ever Oxford Science Cafe in October 2011. Interview by Sumeet Kulkarni and Lorena Magana Zertuche Edited by Subhayu Bagchi

The Oxford Science Cafe was founded in October 2011 by Dr. Marco Cavaglia, then Professor of Physics at the University of Mississippi. 10 years later, he tells the story of its inception: where he got the idea and inspiration, how he conceptualized it in Oxford, MS, and how the community has engaged and benefitted from the regular monthly conversations about science over a decade. Interview by Sumeet Kulkarni and Lorena Magana Zertuche Edited by Morgan Perkins

In this episode Tim Pilleri and Lance Reenstierna speak with Shadya, a family friend of Deb Melo, about the disappearance of Deb Melo. Marissa Jones of The Vanished Podcast also joins us later to discuss Debra Melo.

How do you discover ancient Maya artifacts buried underwater? And what do you do with the artifacts once you discover them? Heather McKillop, Thomas & Lillian Landrum Alumni Professor in the Department of Geography and Anthropology, presented her research on ancient Mayan civilizations during LSU’s Science Cafe in September 2017. We later sat down with Dr. McKillop, where she shared how her team has been able to study submerged Mayan villages, excavate artifacts and preserve those artifacts through 3D printing so we can better understand the livelihood of the Maya. Learn more about what is happening with Dr. McKillop on Twitter @underwatermaya or by heading over to underwatermaya.com to catch the latest adventures in science from the DIVA lab!

In 2016, the Gulf of Mexico churned out one of the most active hurricane seasons on record. Devastation from powerful winds and life-threatening flooding left many homeless and distressed. We joined Carol Friedland, an Assistant Professor in the Bert S. Turner Department of Construction Management in the College of Engineering at LSU's Science Cafe in August 2017, where she shared with us strategies for protecting homes against natural disaster effects, how to use flood maps, and what you should know about building codes.

Hostem Science Café v Kladně (2/2017) byl specialista na výzkum diabetu MUDr. Jan Gojda. Jeho přednáška nesla název: Strašák jménem diabetes V roce 2020 bude trpět cukrovkou každý desátý Čech. Co to vlastně je cukrovka? Jaký je dnešní pohled na příčiny jejího vzniku? A jak ji léčit? Hudba znělky: Funky Element – Bensound.com Na natočení a postprodukci záznamu se podíleli Vojta Fišer a Filip Němec. www.sciencecafe.cz

Záznam Science Café Liberec (2/2016) s hostem prof. PhDr. Jaroslavem Čechurou, DrSc. Přednáška se zabývá poprvé v české historiografii tématem sexuálního života venkovského a maloměstského obyvatelstva v déle než stoletém průřezu. Mimořádně bohatá dokumentace jihočeských archivů v čele s Třeboní dovolila detailně postihnout pestrý vějíř každodennosti sexuálního života v barokní epoše na jihu Čech. www.sciencecafe.cz

Mozek je jedním z nejsložitějších orgánů v lidském těle. Jeho správná ochrana je tedy životně důležitou nutností. Jaký je vztah mezi mozkem a imunitním systémem? Kdo má nad kým převahu? Hostem Science Café Praha v lednu 2016 byla MUDr. Zuzana Libá, Ph.D., která se zabývá neuroimunologii – záněty v nervovém systému a autoimunitním postižením centrálního nervového systému. Zuzana Libá je držitelkou Neuron Impulsu 2014, kterým Nadační fond Neuron na podporu vědy podpořil její výzkum.

How do you explain difficult scientific ideas? Is it okay to simplify or 'dumb it down'? We talk about Feynman, 'Domains of Utility' in science education. We also discuss the challenges of building massive physics experimental machines on earth and in space!

What are the biggest challenges in astrophysics? Could we one day know all there is to know about physics or is that a philosophical misstep? How do you even get into researching these big questions? Find out all this and more in Part 2 of our Casual Science Cafe series.

Stem cells, an underwater river, the paleontology behind climate change...those are the fascinating topics of our July Science Cafes. In this PacSci Podcast we get a sneak peek. More info at http://www.pacificsciencecenter.org/science-cafe/

In which we get a preview of our three April Science Cafes.

Hear it Now for February 11

Záznam Science Café o šlechtění jabloní. Čeští šlechtitelé jabloní z Ústavu experimentální botaniky AV ČR jsou pozoruhodně úspěšní. Ve světě se ročně prodají statisíce stromků jejich odrůd, které jsou odolné proti některým chorobám, což snižuje počet chemických postřiků, které musí pěstitelé používat na ošetřování jabloní. Jak vypadá práce českých vědců, kteří jabloně šlechtí? Host: Ing. Radek Černý z Ústavu experimentální botaniky AV ČR.

Mike Lubbock, world renowned ornithologist and Director of the largest and most biologically significant waterfowl collection in the world right here in Eastern North Carolina, presents on his personal experience with the reintroduction of endangered species.

Penguins are familiar faces at zoos and aquariums, but they evolved long before humans. These fascinating birds have been around for more than 60 million years, during which they survived dramatic changes in climate, wholesale re-arrangements of the continents, and the rise of new mammalian competitors. Thanks to their dense bones, penguins have left behind a rich fossil record that we can use to trace their geographical expansion and morphological evolution. In this Science Cafe we will get to know some of the diverse cast of extinct penguins, including primitive species from the deep past, spear-billed penguins from Peru, and giants that would have towered over today's Emperor Penguins.

Synthetic biology goes under the microscope in this month's Cafe Scientifique, as Gos Micklem describes how to build "sick" viruses to act as vaccines, and discusses recent advances in artificial life. We'll explore concerns about releasing modified organisms into the wild, and if synthetic biology is likely to be used for evil. Like this podcast? Please help us by supporting the Naked Scientists
