    Can We Change the Weather (and do we really want to?) Derek Posselt, Jet Propulsion Lab

    Dr. Derek Posselt is a research scientist with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and one of the participants in this year's science workshops sponsored by Telluride Science. He and his colleagues have been studying ways to modify the weather, using computer modeling and other advanced techniques to pursue an old idea, since humans have been trying to change the weather for over a century. He spoke about the ways people have tried to modify the weather, what has worked (and what hasn’t), and whether it is, in fact, a good idea to try in the first place. Dr. Posselt addressed a live audience at the Telluride Mountain Village Conference Center in Colorado and the session was moderated by veteran broadcast journalists Judy Muller and George Lewis.  If you have questions or comments, please contact us at sciencestraightup@telluridescience.org

    "Good Vibrations: Water, Proteins and the Molecular Motions that Make Life Possible"

    Water is far more than a refreshing drink — its unique molecular properties make life possible. By forming a dynamic network of weak chemical bonds, water acts as both a selective solvent and a kind of molecular lubricant, driving the assembly of cells and keeping the tiny protein machines inside them flexible and in constant motion. Understanding the role water plays in the generation of these vibrations is one of the great frontiers of modern science, with real-world implications for greener industrial chemistry and smarter, safer drug design.

    Small Molecule Activation at the Origins of Life--Dr. David Lacy, University of Buffalo

    How did the atoms in the universe come together to form life? Dr. Daivd Lacy, of the University of Buffalo says that at the heart of this mystery is the conversion of small molecules into the building blocks of life, Metals, such as iorn, cobalt and manganese, play an important part in this process. Dr. Lacy also explores the possibility of life on other planets and we answer a question from a young man in our audience who asks, "Are there flies on the Moon?"  Your hosts for Science Straight up are Emmy and Peabody-award-winning broadcast journalists Judy Muller and George Lewis.
