Climate Change and Sense of Place: Where Art and Science Overlap
Lucy Holtsnider
Graduate Student in âArt
Lucy Holtsnider is an artist who combines monotype prints and found objects to create collages addressing the impacts of climate change. In this presentation, she will discuss her 2016 sailing expedition and art and science collaboration titled Climate Odyssey, as well as her more recent artwork. She will also share how communication theory, sense of place, and climate science influence her work. To see more of Lucy's work, go to LucyHoltsnider.com and ClimateOdyssey.org.
Error Carried Forward: How to Spend 50 Years Discussing a Substance that Doesn't Exist
âRebecca Reitz
Graduate Student in Materials
YSi2 does not exist. And yet the scientific literature has had a lot to say about this compound over the last half-century, including characterizing its crystal structures, melting point, thermal expansion coefficient, and oxidation properties. The story of YSi2 reveals some interesting information about how the scientific process functions in the real world. This talk will describe how YSi2 propagated through the literature and how we were able to demonstrate that it did not belong there with an emphasis on the general lessons that can be derived from this tale.
This event will be moderated byâ âShawn Warner-Garcia, Assistant Director of Professional Development for the UCSB Graduate Division.
