The line up:
Waves
by Nathan Laxague, marine physics PhD student
Rather than come up with a clever title to describe his talk, Nathan has contented himself with a single word and a pair of quotation marks. Smart money says it’ll include an unnecessary introduction to waves in the broad sense, with the rest devoted to observation and analysis of ocean surface waves. Bring popcorn and foul weather gear.
The Psychology of Change
by Ivan Dynamo de Jesus, founder of Action Club, goal-setting/bucket-list achieving support group.
Why do 92% of people fail to keep their their New Year’s resolutions? Why are we as humans naturally resistant to change and fall into old habits? This talk will examine how the hidden drives within each of us facilitate change in our lives or, more often, how these hidden factors prevent change from occurring, and how we can actively choose to re-program ourselves with the correct psychological tools.
Nursing coral reefs to recovery
by Stephanie Schopmeyer, coral restoration expert
Coral reefs are among the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet, supporting incredible networks of life that stretch along the world’s tropical and subtropical coasts. Due to extensive worldwide coral reef decline, it is necessary to recover corals in underwater nurseries. Stephanie Schopmeyer takes us into the world of coral reefs and the methods that allow us to nurse these fragile structures back to good health.
