Using Coffee to Open Doors
| December 10, 2009 | ||
| 10:00 am | to | 12:00 pm |
The Open Coffee Club is a “place for people who love startups to hang out and meet.” There are Open Coffee Clubs all over the world, the first one being hosted by Saul Klein of London, England, who wanted a place to encourage entrepreneurs, developers and investors to organize real-world informal meetups to chat, network and grow. Meet people, find out what’s going on and then go and take part.
Started in November of ’08, the Santa Fe Open Coffee Club is an informal gathering time & place for NM entrepreneurs, VC’s, and related people. Informal means people come and go and there is no set agenda. Become a member and learn details about the Santa Fe Open Coffee Club at:

Cracking the Neural Code: Discovering the Language of the Brain
| July 21, 2009 | ||
| 7:00 pm | to | 9:00 pm |
Neuroscientists are rapidly converging on answers to once seemingly intractable questions: How do we learn? How are memories stored? How is information represented across ensembles of cells? How do neural circuits compute? This talk by LANL researcher Garrett Kenyon will survey recent progress in experimental and theoretical brain science, including contributions from local researchers, and present some novel hypotheses as to how biological information processing differs fundamentally from conventional digital computation.

q-bios Lecture: Wiring The Brain
| July 21, 2009 | ||
| 7:00 pm | to | 9:00 pm |
Vision is one of the many mysteries of life. For us to be able to see, specific cells in our retinas must be connected in a regular fashion to specific cells in our brains, creating a visualization map. How does the brain achieve it? How does it reproducibly wire its billions of nerve cells together during embryonic development? Dr. Greg E. Lemke, professor of molecular biology at the Salk Institute, offers the latest lecture in the q-bios series, describes how the visual system uses variable abundances of a set of receptors – called EPH proteins – to connect the eye to the brain in a regular, reproducible fashion that allows us to see.

| 7:00 pm | to | 9:00 pm |
Writers have had control of their pens for centuries, but rarely did they control their publishers. If they were lucky enough to have a publisher.
Now, thanks to the magic of the Digital Age, authors can control both their pens and their publishers, and that control comes with minimal investment. As in “close to free.”
