Where: Stem to Wing: Travel of a Plant Fiber

taste of science San Antonio presents their first livestream with Dr. Meenakshi.

Sustainable energy production is not completely sustainable. For instance, wind turbine blades produce tons of hazardous waste at the end of their life. Come!!! Let's know how to reduce this plastic waste with the help of our beloved plants.

In this webinar you will learn:

1. About plant fiber.

2. Their use as an engineering material.

3. The advantages of green materials over the synthetic counterparts.

About Our Speaker…

This is your brain on drugs: a stimulating discussion on street drugs from chemistry to cognition

This taste of science event is held in collaboration with the Addiction, Research, Treatment and Training (ARTT) Center of Excellence at UT Health San Antonio as well as the 12th annual meeting of Behavior, Biology, and Chemistry (BBC): Translational Research in Addiction.

Join us as we feature three addiction researchers in a lively discussion about the science behind drug addiction. We have invited three addiction researchers to share their work on tackling drug addiction.

Co-hosted with ARTT

The mission of the ARTT Center of Excellence is to promote addiction research, treatment, and training at UT Health San Antonio and facilitate the translation of discoveries in basic science to clinical care. ARTT brings together a diverse group of scientists, clinicians, and educators in order to identify and develop novel behavioral and pharmacological approaches to treating addiction. For more information, visit https://uthscsa.edu/artt/

The BBC conference is a two-day scientific meeting that focuses on translational aspects of addiction research among chemists, biologists, and behavioral scientists. The diversity of participants and attendees at this meeting provides a unique venue for interaction among different disciplines and in so doing promotes new and innovative approaches to medications discovery and development in addictions biology.

Sometimes people think that science is the antithesis of failure and a monolith of success. And, often, we only hear about the success in science: the innovative new treatment, the life-saving discovery, a novel pathway that will unlock the mysteries of disease… Surely success should be celebrated, but it can never fully be appreciated without understanding that failure is a large part of it. In science, failure is at the very core of its evidence base and a much-needed tool for development. It is something all scientists experience.

taste of science San Antonio is embracing failure in the month of October and partnering with our national taste of science collaborators to host an event that talks failure in science. Join us Wednesday, October 30th, 2019 for our version of Science Fail Fest. We will feature Pub style Science Fail Trivia- with a chance to win some really cool prizes!

Costumes are encouraged!!

Join us September 20th at Blue Star Brewing Co. for taste of science San Antonio's Pints & Primates this month! Come meet some of San Antonio's primate experts, as we discuss various primate species' behavior and biology. You don't want to miss this rare chance to speak with people who work closely with these fascinating animals to get the insiders' scoop. Communal grooming is highly encouraged.

In partnership with:
Southwest National Primate Research Center
Primarily Primates

Friendly reminder, this event is 21 and older.

The road to recovery is long but paved by science, support and advocacy. Join taste of science San Antonio to learn how the path is paved in the midst of a national opioid crisis. Dr. Charles France From UT Health San Antonio joins us to speak on his most recent research into a novel opioid receptor antagonist "MCAM", a new and better NARCAN for treating opioid abuse and overdose.

Valarie McDonald joins us from Freedom House a recovery clinic for women struggling with addiction. Valarie will share her amazing story on how NARCAN saved her life. You don't want to miss this!

Join us at Künstler Brewing to hear all about tropical diseases. Dr. Tim Anderson from Texas Biomedical Research Institute will discuss all there is to know about schistosomiasis and the snails that transmit this disease found near rivers in Sub-saharan Africa. Dr. Ian Cheeseman, also from Texas Biomed, will discuss his work on the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum.

Young and senior neuroscientists talk about their research to understand the brain as a computer. We will have PhD students, postdoctoral trainees, and senior faculty from the US, Canada, and Europe discussing their work and experiences in neuroscience.
