The Tip of the Iceberg is a 30-foot tall clitoris of stone, steel and cement, fabricated to be monumental like Stonehenge, thus the nickname Clit-Henge. It aroused a lot of conversation at Black Rock City 2023. It's the phallic symbol's sister. It's highly sensitive, and highly talked about, and according to the artist, the more we discover what it does for any of us and all of us, and the more we can celebrate the birthright of pleasure.Melissa Barron a.k.a. Syn has traveled to many places around the world that informed her lens of creativity, sustainability, gender equality. With her family and friends, she co-creates art, from the 2013 Temple of Whollyness to her decade-long regeneration project Art for Trees, to this new intimate inquiry, the Tip of the Iceberg. And what about the aerialist performance involving the Burning Man and wombs and birth, sanctioned by none other than Burning Man founder Larry Harvey?Journey with Syn, Andie Grace and Stuart Mangrum through the Clit Renaissance, the re-thinking of pleasure inequities, the teachings of cancer, the wisdom of aging, and the intuition of radical reciprocity. They explore these complexities, and they keep it light and bright.Tip of the Iceberg (Burning Man 2023 Art Installations)Tip of the Iceberg (Burning Man Gallery)The Temple of Whollyness (Burning Man Journal)Art for Trees (Burning Man Journal)Syn on Social Media (Crone of Arc)  LIVE.BURNINGMAN.ORG

This week on IAQradio+ we welcome Dr. Richard Corsi Dean of the College of Engineering at University of California Davis. Many will remember Dr. Corsi for his time at the University of Texas and Portland State. We look forward to having him back to discuss his current endeavors and how COVID has accelerated IAQ Research to Practice.   Dr. Richard Corsi recently joined UC Davis as Dean of the College of Engineering. Prior to that he was Dean of the Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science at Portland State University and for over 24 years he worked at The University of Texas, Austin where he taught numerous courses related to fluid mechanics, air pollution, and indoor air quality. Dr. Corsi served as Director of a highly-interdisciplinary group that spawned a generation of faculty engaged in research related to indoor air quality. He continues to conduct research on indoor air quality, with foci on physical and chemical processes that affect the fate and control of, and human exposure to, indoor pollutants of both outdoor and indoor origin. Dr. Corsi and his team have published nearly 270 peer-reviewed papers, and he has supervised over 120 students.   Dr. Corsi has been engaged in national discussions related to layered risk reduction to reduce transmission of COVID-19 by aerosol particles. He has been a guest on webinars hosted by the National Academies, USEPA, National Tribal Air Association, and more. In addition, he has done over 100 print, television, and podcast interviews. From early in the pandemic his efforts have focused on lowering inhalation dose of virus-laden aerosol particles indoors. Dr. Corsi led an effort to develop an educational tool for assessing parallel interventions for lowering inhalation dose for aerosols and risk of infection in buildings. His concept of a low-cost and effective do-it-yourself air cleaner to combat virus-laden aerosol particles and wildfire smoke has become known worldwide as the Corsi-Rosenthal Box.   LEARN MORE this week on IAQ Radio+.

Her two previous single-author books are Strangers in the City: Reconfigurations of Space, Power, and Social Networks within China's Floating Population (2001), and In Search of Paradise: Middle Class Living in a Chinese Metropolis (2010). She is also the co-editor of the recently published edited volume, Can Science and Technology Save China? (2020).This podcast discusses the rise of psychotherapy in Kunming, and how part of the appeal of psychotherapy in China is that it comes from the West and claims to be scientific, but the therapeutic techniques don't always fit Chinese notions of personhood, sociability and efficacy in healing, so have to be adapted and localized. We also discuss the scientism and blind faith in science that makes psychotherapy such a popular fad in China today, though psychotherapy nevertheless appears to be helpful to clients.AUTHOR'S PERSONAL WEBSITEhttps://anthropology.ucdavis.edu/people/lizhang

Recent advancements in educational technologies have led to an explosion of visualization software for teaching and learning science, particularly chemistry. To varying degrees, visualization tools help teachers and students perceive the imperceptible objects and phenomena of the chemical world. Although some visualization tools have seen great success in the classroom, others have had little impact on student learning and understanding. The present talk explores a novel cognitive model that both motivates the use of computer-based visualization tools for teaching chemistry and explains the variability in learning outcomes that result from their use. First, I argue for a more complete model of teaching and learning in chemistry that empirically defines the role of visualization tools in the classroom. Using data from tandem psychometric and protocol studies, I identify some unique difficulties with learning chemistry that constrain the possible affordances of visualization tools.
