SUMMARY:A Special Fireside Chat with Nikole Hannah-Jones (DGSOM)
DESCRIPTION:About Nikole Hannah-Jones\nNikole Hannah-Jones covers racial injustice for The New York Times Magazine\, and has spent years chronicling the way official policy has created—and maintains—racial segregation in housing and schools. Her deeply personal reports on the Black experience in America offer a compelling case for greater equity. Hannah-Jones is the creator and lead writer of the New York Times’ major multimedia initiative\, “The 1619 Project.” \nNamed for the year the first enslaved Africans arrived in America\, the project features an ongoing series of essays and art on the relationship between slavery and everything from social infrastructure and segregation\, to music and sugar—all by Black American authors\, activists\, journalists\, and more. Hannah-Jones wrote the project’s introductory essay\, which ran under the powerful headline “Our Democracy’s Founding Ideals Were False When They Were Written. Black Americans Have Fought to Make Them True.” The essay earned Hannah-Jones her first Pulitzer Prize\, for commentary. Random House has also announced it will be adapting the project into a graphic novel and four publications for young readers\, while also releasing an extended version of the original publication\, including more essays\, fiction\, and poetry. \nWelcome Remarks and Moderation\nOpen of Show\n\n\n\nShawn Kang\nSenior Director of Human Resources Strategy\,\nUCLA Health Sciences \nWelcome Remarks\n\n\n\nKelsey Martin\, MD\, PhD\nDean\, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA\nGerald S.

SUMMARY:Plant Stories Trapped in Tar: Paleobotany at the La Brea Tar Pits
DESCRIPTION:The La Brea Tar Pits in the heart of Los Angeles\, California are world famous for their preservation of Ice-Age mammals\, especially the iconic\, extinct megafauna such as saber-tooth cats\, dire wolves\, mammoths and mastodons. What is less known\, is that the unique asphaltic preservation of past life at La Brea includes much more than mammals\, but entire ecosystems of Los Angeles from the Late Pleistocene through the Holocene spanning the last ~57\,000 years. While much attention has been given to the fauna\, relatively little is known about plant life during this time. Fossil plants preserved at the La Brea Tar Pits include seeds\, wood\, leaves\, needles\, cones\, pollen and phytoliths. We will detail how these ancient floras reveal a rich history of climatic and environmental change in Los Angeles and Southern California over the last several millennia leading to the formation of our modern day ecosystems. \nJoin scientists Dr. Regan Dunn\, Assistant Curator at La Brea Tar Pits and Museum\, and Jessie George\, UCLA PhD Candidate\, to explore the ancient flora of Los Angeles and learn about the fascinating field of paleobotany. \n\nDr. Regan Dunn is an Assistant Curator at La Brea Tar Pits and Museum. She is a paleobotanist whose research seeks to understand the interplay between climate\, plants and animal evolution through time. She studies phytoliths\, pollen\, leaf fossils and wood to reconstruct ancient vegetation structure and composition. She has a PhD in Biology from the University of Washington\, a M.S. in Botany from the University of Wyoming\, and a B.S. in Biological Sciences from Colorado State University. She recently completed two postdoctoral fellowships\, one at the University of Wyoming and another at the Field Museum of Natural History. She has extensive field experience having worked in the Western U.S. (Wyoming\, Colorado\, Washington\, Oregon)\, and in Central and South America. She has worked for the National Park Service as a Geologist and has extensive work experience in museums including the Denver Museum of Nature & Science\, Thomas Condon Paleontology Center in Kimberly\, Oregon\, the Burke Museum of Nature and Culture in Seattle\, WA\, and the Field Museum in Chicago\, IL. Her work at La Brea Tar Pits focuses on understanding vegetation and vegetation change over the last 50\,000 years in the Los Angeles Basin. \n\nJessie George is a PhD candidate in the Department of Geography at UCLA. She has an MSc in Environmental Archaeology from the Institute of Archaeology at University College London where she studied ancient agriculture through preserved plant material from archaeological sites. Her current PhD research is on the fossil plants of the La Brea Tar Pits\, working to identify and radiocarbon date fossils in the collection to better understand how vegetation changed through time in the Los Angeles Basin in response to changing climates and fauna. Her research interests and work in biogeography and archaeology are focused on the interactions of climate\, plant life\, and society.\nSupport free educational programming at the Botanical Garden. Donations of any amount allow us to provide fascinating and free educational programs like this one. Become a Member today to support the Garden’s mission to promote botanical knowledge by curating collections that highlight biogeography\, conservation\, and natural history. The Garden seeks to inspire environmental and cultural appreciation of plants and their relationship to society through education\, research\, and public outreach. Our beautiful setting fosters health and tranquility for the community.
