Award-winning author Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o presented his recently released publication, "Minutes of Glory And Other Stories." Local high school students read excerpts from his works in Gikuyu and English.

- Noted as a perennial favorite to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o is an award-winning, world-renowned Kenyan novelist, scholar and playwright, who has been publishing written works for more than 50 years in more than 32 languages. He is the founder and editor of the first Gikuyu-language journal and is currently a distinguished professor of English and comparative literature at the University of California, Irvine.

DNA study and reviews on haplogroups from ancient migrations and studies done on Modern Egyptians comparing their genetics to the Ancient Egyptians.

What happened to all of the universe's antimatter? Can a particle be its own anti-particle? And how do you build an experiment to find out? In this program, particle physicists reveal their hunt for a neutrino event so rare, it happens to a single atom at most once every 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years: far longer than the current age of the universe. If they find it, it could explain no less than the existence of our matter-filled universe.

PARTICIPANTS: Janet Conrad, Andrea Pocar, Lindley Winslow

This program was recorded live at the 2018 World Science Festival and has been edited and condensed for YouTube.

Ebony O. McGee, PhD, of Vanderbilt University has spent more than a decade researching racialized experiences and racial stereotypes that adversely affect the education and career trajectories of underrepresented groups of color. In this talk, McGee discusses the impact STEM culture has on innovation while sharing ideas for a more inclusive culture that does more than promote diversity by building an inclusive supportive environment for underrepresented racially minoritized people.

This event was hosted as part of the series Amplified: Race and Reality in STEM. Amplified: Race and Reality in STEM aims to give a national platform to speakers to have candid conversations around race and diversity in the STEM fields. Launched in 2020 as part of Gladstone’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, this series is hosted in partnership with Georgia Tech, the Molecular Engineering & Sciences Institute at University of Washington, and The University of Texas at Austin. We hope these discussions spark change throughout the sciences.

Climate smart agriculture increases productivity, make farming more climate resilient, reduces greenhouse gas emissions
and reduces poverty. Norway has supported Zambian Conservation Farming Unit (CFU) for years. CFU teaches farmers to be innovative, and farmers who have received proper training, continue to use the method.
