Join three applied economists from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's Department of Agricultural and Consumer Economics as they discuss overcoming current sustainability challenges in agricultural and urban systems. Each will speak for 15 minutes, followed by a Q&A session.

Speakers and topics include Erica Myers on "Machine learning can increase the impact of energy efficiency programs," Nick Paulson on "Identifying win-wins: Evidence from field-level practices," and Bruce Sherrick on "Crop Insurance connections to sustainable farming practices."

Zoom login information will be sent to registered attendees during the week of the event. This session is sponsored by the Department of Agricultural and Consumer Economics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Monitoring the vast amount of heat stored in Earth's warming oceans is challenging. Scientists at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center are developing a novel satellite-based method using magnetic field observations to measure ocean heat content.

This technique leverages seawater's electrical conductivity, which changes with temperature. As conductive ocean water moves, it creates slight magnetic field fluctuations detectable by satellites. This approach promises the first global, all-depth ocean heat measurements from space.

The "Not a woman’s job?" photo exhibition is organized by the UN Office in Geneva's Perception Change Project, with participation from CERN and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

The exhibition showcases women (18+) who have challenged gender stereotypes and overcome barriers in science and technology. ITU stakeholders were invited to submit photos highlighting these achievements and stories.

Monika Gehner, Head of Corporate Communication at ITU, spoke with Elisavet Mike, a network engineer whose photo was submitted to the exhibition.

Nature offers elegant solutions to countless design challenges, from advanced adhesives and biodegradable packaging to incredibly strong materials and the mechanics of flight. The study and application of these natural innovations is known as biomimicry.

Join us to hear from two experts in this field. Richard MacCowan of Biomimicry UK will discuss its role in adopting Industry 4.0 technology, while Veronika Kapsali from University of Arts London will share insights on biomimicry in her textiles work.

Join the NHI Speaker Series for "The Brothers Boutelou and the Grass they Barely Knew" with Debbie DeWolf Allen. This talk explores the fascinating origin of the genus name for Blue Grama Grass, *Bouteloua gracilis*. While botanical names often describe plants, some honor individuals. Discover the tale behind Bouteloua, intertwining two 18th-century Spanish gardeners, an enlightened king, a New World expedition, and botanical drawings lost for nearly 200 years.

Debbie DeWolf Allen, a Master Gardener and author of "Common Grasses of the Central Arizona Highlands," will guide this journey through botany, history, and exploration. Her field guide is available at the Natural History Institute.
