Discover how astronomer Vera Rubin's persistence led to the groundbreaking discovery of dark matter, a concept now fundamental to understanding our universe. Despite initial dismissal and facing barriers as a woman in science, Rubin's work revealed that astronomical objects exaggerate gravity's grip, earning her the National Medal of Science and posthumous honors like the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.

Join a virtual discussion with "Framers" co-authors Kenneth Cukier, Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, and Francis de Véricourt. Their book explores "framing"—the unique human ability to create mental models for understanding complex global challenges like pandemics, AI, and climate change. Framing helps us see patterns and make decisions, a vital skill in an era of algorithms and societal upheaval. George Hammond will moderate.

This event is hosted by The Commonwealth Club of California, the nation's oldest and largest public affairs forum.

The killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery have sparked a crucial reckoning with systemic racism, police violence, and inequality in America. These racist ideologies fuel not only social injustices like income disparity, poor housing, and pollution in vulnerable communities, but also hinder the environmental movement by suppressing vital voices.

This "Saving Life on Earth" webinar will explore justice, police brutality, diversity, and biodiversity, emphasizing the critical need to align environmental efforts with the fight against racism. We all share a personal and institutional responsibility to drive lasting change.
