Resisting Climate Chaos

TOGETHER WE CAN RESIST CLIMATE CHAOS!
The solutions to ensure a stable climate and resilient communities are within our reach. Scientists are exploring and developing clean, renewable energy options at the same time the public is clamoring for leadership and progress to address the threats of climate change, including dangerous air quality, increased flooding, and extreme weather events.

More than ever, the public needs to be informed of the potential of science to address the catastrophe of climate change. Because scientific facts now face distortion, dismissal, and replacement by “alternative facts,” our direct engagement with scientists is critical.

We can't wait for the government to solve climate change so we are bringing the science to the people.

The format for each session will be as follows:

Doors open @ 6 pm
?Introduction of speaker and topic
30-minute presentation of new or little-known science and engineering option ?followed by commentary & questions
Audience discussion to propose and discuss options for action 
Networking & Sign-ups

Bryce Sadtler, Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Washington University in St. Louis, presents:
"Generating fuels from sunlight using nanoscale materials"
Plants store energy from the sun in the form of chemical bonds. A major scientific challenge today is to create materials and devices capable of efficient and stable artificial photosynthesis. Such systems could transform sunlight into chemical fuels with conversion efficiencies much greater than those of plants. WU Chemist Bryce Sadtler uses chemical synthesis to make new nanoscale materials for solar fuel generation. See some surprising movies and enjoy some really clever science. Consider whetheractivists could help Bryce Sadtler revolutionize global solar energy collection by shortening the time between laboratory demonstration and world-wide installation of solar fuel systems.
