PM, see “The Serengeti Rules” at the AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center,
8633 Colesville Rd., Silver Spring 20910. Tickets can be had at
silver.afi.com. Discover one of the most important, untold science
stories of our time—a tale with profound implications for the fate of life on
our planet. There will be a Q&A with award-winning biologist and author
Sean B. Carroll following the show on June 14, as part of Science on Screen.
Beginning in the 1960s, a small band of young scientists headed out into the
wilderness, driven by an insatiable curiosity about how nature works. Immersed
in some of the most remote and spectacular places on Earth—from the majestic
Serengeti to the Amazon jungle; from the Arctic Ocean to Pacific tide
pools—they discovered a single set of rules that govern all life. Now in the
twilight of their eminent careers, these five unsung heroes of modern ecology
share the stories of their adventures, reveal how their pioneering work flipped
our view of nature on its head, and give us a chance to re-imagine the world as
it could and should be. Go to https://www.facebook.com/events/319149058998040/?event_time_id=319149062331373.

origami cranes.

– It is a violation of
U.S. law for us to attack a country that has not attacked us, as only
Congress can declare war. The Trump administration is nevertheless beating the
war drums for war against Iran and Venezuela. The Mueller investigation is
tightening the vise, and could cause Trump to attack those countries in order
to divert attention from Russian interference in the 2016
presidential election. Such a military strike would demand an immediate
and unequivocal response from us to show that we will not tolerate his abuse of
power.
Let's mobilize to show that we the
people will not tolerate another military adventure, which would be bound
to have profound negative consequences. If a preemptive military strike
against Iran or Venezuela takes place, then meet at 33rd and N. Charles St., Baltimore 21218. If the attack
is before 2 PM local time, then events will begin at 5 PM, local
time. If the attack occurs after 5 PM local time, then events
will begin at 5 PM, local time, the following day. Contact Max
at 410-323-1607 or mobuszewski2001 at Comcast dot net.

Join an extraordinary global
campaign for the elimination of nuclear weapons: http://www.globalzero.org/sign-declaration.
A growing group of leaders around the world is calling for the elimination of
nuclear weapons and a majority of the global public agrees. This is an
historic window of opportunity. With momentum already building in favor
of Zero, a major show of support from people around the world could tip the
balance. When it comes to nuclear weapons, one is one too many.

“One
is called to live nonviolently, even if the change one works for seems
impossible. It may or may not be possible to turn the US around through
nonviolent revolution. But one thing favors such an attempt: the total
inability of violence to change anything for the better" - Daniel Berrigan
