"Ordinary Magic: Advances in Developmental Resilience Science", presented by Ann S. Masten, Regents Professor of Child Development, Distinguished McKnight University Professor, Institute of Child Development at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.Interest in resilience surged in recent years along with growing threats from the pandemic, armed conflicts, natural disasters, migration, and climate change. Evidence is growing that fostering resilience in children, families, or communities and preparing for future shocks requires a multisystem perspective. Professor Masten will highlight progress in understanding how children and youth overcome adversity to develop well, with selected examples from her research as well as the global literature. Striking consistencies across diverse studies suggest that human resilience typically depends on “ordinary magic”—adaptive capacity arising from common but powerful adaptive systems and processes within individuals and their interactions with many other systems around them. Parallel findings on resilience at different system levels, from individual or family to cultural or community levels, point to the potential of collective multisystem resilience. Dr. Masten will discuss implications for strategies to reduce risk and promote resilience in children and their societies as well as new research horizons. Sponsored by the Michael J. Wolk Heart Foundation and the Division of Natural Sciences & Mathematics and Psychological and Brain Sciences. - Apr 266:30 PMSolar SuperstormsAcademics | Ho Tung Visualization Lab, 401 Ho Science Center
Narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch.A fury is building on the surface of the Sun: high-velocity jets, a fiery tsunami wave 100,000 km high, rising loops of electrified gas. What’s driving these strange phenomena? How will they affect planet Earth? Find the answers as we venture into the seething interior of our star.Solar Superstorms is a major new production that takes viewers into the tangle of magnetic fields and superhot plasma that vent the Sun’s rage in dramatic flares, violent solar tornadoes, and the largest eruptions in the Solar System: coronal mass ejections.
