SUMMARY:Tucson Bird Alliance: Feather Trails - A Journey of Discovery Among Endangered Birds
DESCRIPTION:Birds are visible\, vocal sentinels that alert us to environmental harms through their declining numbers or their failure to thrive. In her book Feather Trails—A Journey of Discovery Among Endangered Birds\, Sophie Osborn shares her personal experiences reintroducing endangered Peregrine Falcons\, Hawaiian Crows\, and California Condors to the wild. While immersing readers in the triumphs and tribulations of being a wildlife biologist\, Sophie explores the threats that imperiled these birds\, and reveals that what harmed them threatens us\, too. She will discuss what led to the endangerment of these three captivating species\, recount the efforts of biologists to recover their populations\, and read a few excerpts from her book that describe what it was like to work with these magnificent birds. \nSophie A. H. Osborn is an award-winning environmental writer and wildlife biologist whose work has included the study and conservation of more than a dozen bird species in the Americas. She contributed to reintroduction efforts for several endangered birds and served as the field manager for the California Condor Recovery Program in Arizona for four years. Her first book\, Condors in Canyon Country\, won the 2007 National Outdoor Book Award for Nature and the Environment. Reviewers for the American Birding Association (ABA) chose her second book\, Feather Trails\, as their favorite bird book of 2024. Sophie has written articles for Bird\nConservation\, BirdWatching\, and Wyoming Wildlife magazines. Her writings are also available her website and her “Words for Birds” Substack blog. \nThe presentation is free to join. Registrants will be emailed a Zoom link prior to the event.

SUMMARY:The University of Arizona: Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab Tour
DESCRIPTION:Explore the cutting-edge of astronomical innovation on this 90-minute guided tour of the Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab at the University of Arizona. Learn how pioneering engineering\, optical science\, and precision manufacturing come together to create the world’s largest and most advanced telescope mirrors—each 8.4 meters (27 feet) in diameter. \nLocated beneath the U of A’s football stadium\, the Mirror Lab is the birthplace of mirrors for the Giant Magellan Telescope\, a revolutionary new instrument with a 25-meter primary mirror composed of seven of our 8.4-meter segments. This next generation of telescopes will transform astronomy—probing the early universe\, revealing the formation of the first stars\, and potentially detecting signs of life on distant exoplanets. \nThe tour begins at the historic Steward Observatory\, U of A’s first research department\, established in 1917. After an introductory presentation in our iconic white-brick dome\, we’ll walk to the Mirror Lab for an up-close look at the unique processes involved—from melting glass to precision polishing and optical testing. \nJoin us and discover how the University of Arizona is shaping the future of space exploration and astronomical discovery.

SUMMARY:Arizona AI & Emerging Technology: Behavioral AI - What AI Reveals When It Enters Real Work
DESCRIPTION:This month\, our focus is on Behavioral AI. \nPRESENTATION OVERVIEW \nBehavioral AI: What AI Reveals When It Enters Real Work\nAs AI moves from experimentation into everyday operations\, its biggest impact often isn’t technical—it’s behavioral. In this session\, David Dean explores what becomes visible when intelligent systems enter real organizational workflows: how judgment shifts\, how responsibility blurs\, how risk gets distributed\, and how accountability quietly changes hands. \nThis meetup is designed as a short\, focused talk followed by a live reading + interview-style discussion drawn from David’s new independent book\, An Inbox Between Us. Rather than an “AI tools” or “adoption strategy” session\, this conversation names patterns many teams feel but rarely have language for—coordination breakdowns\, unclear ownership\, invisible decision policies\, and the subtle ways automation reshapes trust and governance. \nSpeaker:\nDavid Dean \nEvent Details: \n\nLocation: 1951@Skysong @ Scottsdale\, AZ\nTime: 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM – talk will begin at 6:00pm (we get kicked out promptly at 7:30pm)\nFree Parking: Easily available (free)\nFood: Simple Pizza and Water
