[email protected] (212) 691-6500 x212 New York Live Arts launches Live Ideas, an annual festival of arts and ideas Inaugural Live Ideas festival explores The Worlds of Oliver Sacks from April 17 – 21, 2013 Confirmed participants include Oliver Sacks, guest curator Lawrence Weschler, Bill Morrison, Alva Noë, V.S. Ramachandran, Tobias Picker with Orchestra of St. Luke’s, Donna Uchizono, Marsha Ivins, Wendy Lesser, Jumaane Williams, Robert Krulwich and many more New York, NY, February 1, 2013 – New York Live Arts’ Executive Artistic Director, Bill T. Jones, today announced the creation of Live Ideas, the latest program initiative for the Chelsea-based organization that has become an internationally recognized destination for innovative movement-based artistry and artists actively engaged with the political, intellectual and cultural currents of our times. Taking place each spring, Live Ideas will concentrate on a different theme, explored through conversation and artistic presentations over several days. The inaugural festival, taking place Wednesday, April 17th through Sunday, April 21st, 2013 at New York Live Arts is themed The Worlds of Oliver Sacks. “Live Ideas, as an annual event at New York Live Arts, will be distinctive in its explorations of the interplay of creative expression and the world of ideas,” said Jones. “We are extremely pleased that the first edition of the festival also affords us a rare opportunity to collaborate with the inimitable Dr. Sacks. Perhaps more than anyone in recent history, Dr. Sacks has contributed to our growing understanding of the role of creative expression within the mind-body connection.” The acclaimed neurologist, who celebrates his 80th year in 2013, is the author of such best-selling works as Awakenings, The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat, Musicophilia and Hallucinations. Called “the poet laureate of medicine” by the New York Times, Sacks will help to kick off the first edition of Live Ideas on April 17th, joining Jones and celebrated non-fiction writer Lawrence Weschler on the opening night of the festival for a keynote conversation. Weschler, a long-time friend and associate of Sacks’, is the guest curator for the first edition of Live Ideas. Comprised of more than 20 events across five consecutive days, the series will include a wide array of performances, films, discussions and more. “Live Ideas will combine dance and the performing arts with big ideas, and I am honored to be involved in this inaugural festival,” says Sacks. “Live Ideas brings together a number of my own passions—music, ferns, cephalopods among them—alongside many of the neurological conditions I have spent a lifetime studying: Parkinson’s disease, Tourette’s syndrome, stereo vision, etc. The connections of these conditions with the dramatic arts is a deep one, and I look forward to seeing what comes out of this first annual Live Ideas festival (and the many more to come).” As guest curator of Live Ideas, Weschler has brought together an impressive and eclectic list of participants, showcasing works of art and sparking conversations that engage the prevalent themes in Sacks’ works. "Bill T. Jones and I agreed early on that the first Live Ideas festival would focus on the intersection of ideas and the body: which is to say, the body-politic, mind-body, body-soul and so forth," explained Weschler. "For this first iteration, what better subject than the worlds of Oliver Sacks. Both a great neurologist and a profound humanist, he constantly evinces the embodiment, the incarnation and the triumph of the individual human spirit across a world of challenges—a subject we will be surveying across an array of lectures, panels, performances, films and more." Participants include philosopher Alva Noë, directors Karen Kohlhass and Kim Weild, neuroscientists Joseph LeDoux, Aniruddh D. Patel and V.S. Ramachandran, Nobel Laureate Roald Hoffman, astronaut Marsha Ivins, marathon cold-water swimmer Lynne Cox, writer Wendy Lesser, Radiolab’s Robert Krulwich and many more. Featured works include a newly commissioned short film by award-winning filmmaker Bill Morrison, created by repurposing original archival footage of Dr. Sacks working with patients; fully-staged productions of Nobel Laureate Harold Pinter’s play, A Kind of Alaska, based on Sacks’ book Awakenings and performed both in American Sign Language and spoken word; a new dance-theater work by acclaimed choreographer Donna Uchizono that draws upon the themes of perception central to Sacks’ work; and a performance of a ballet score, also based on Awakenings, by renowned composer Tobias Picker with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s. “With Live Ideas, we are creating multiple entry points for audiences to understand and explore some of the underlying ideas expressed through movement-based art,” said New York Live Arts CEO Jean Davidson. “Throughout his career, Dr. Sacks has articulated the complex relationships between mind and body, which makes his work a compelling focus for the inaugural season. We are grateful for his participation in this new program, which is underwritten by the Ford Foundation and other generous supporters.” Live Ideas is made possible by the Ford Foundation. Additional support is contributed by The Rockefeller Foundation NYC Cultural Innovation Fund, The JJC Foundation, The Opaline Fund, the The Samuel M. Levy Family Foundation and the Theatre Development Fund. Promotional partners include the WNYC, New York Observer and Standard Hotels. All events will take place at New York Live Arts’ theater and studios, located at 219 W 19th Street, between 7th and 8th Avenues. The festival includes both free and ticketed events. Tickets go on sale for New York Live Arts Members and Associate Artists today, and general public may begin purchasing tickets on February 8, 2013.

He earned his medical degree at Oxford University (Queen’s College), and did residencies and fellowship work at Mt. Zion Hospital in San Francisco and at UCLA. Since 1965, he has lived in New York. Dr. Sacks is currently a professor of neurology at the NYU School of Medicine, where he practices at the NYU Comprehensive Epilepsy Center. In 1966 Dr. Sacks began working as a consulting neurologist for Beth Abraham Hospital in the Bronx, a chronic care hospital where he encountered an extraordinary group of patients, many of whom had spent decades in strange, frozen states, like human statues, unable to initiate movement. He recognized these patients as survivors of the great pandemic of sleepy sickness that had swept the world from 1916 to 1927, and treated them with a then-experimental drug, L-dopa, which enabled them to come back to life. They became the subjects of his book Awakenings, which later inspired a play by Harold Pinter (A Kind of Alaska) and the Oscar-nominated feature film (Awakenings) with Robert De Niro and Robin Williams. Sacks is perhaps best known for his collections of case histories from the far borderlands of neurological experience, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and An Anthropologist on Mars, in which he describes patients struggling to live with conditions ranging from Tourette’s syndrome to autism, parkinsonism, musical hallucination, epilepsy, phantom limb syndrome, schizophrenia, retardation and Alzheimer’s disease. He has investigated the world of Deaf people and sign language in Seeing Voices, and a rare community of colorblind people in The Island of the Colorblind. He has written about his experiences as a doctor in Migraine and as a patient in A Leg to Stand On. His autobiographical Uncle Tungsten: Memories of a Chemical Boyhood was published in 2001 and his most recent books are Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain (2007), The Mind’s Eye (2010) and Hallucinations (2012). Sacks’ work, which has been supported by the Guggenheim Foundation and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, regularly appears in The New Yorker and the New York Review of Books, as well as various medical journals. The New York Times has referred to Dr. Sacks as “the poet laureate of medicine,” and in 2002 he was awarded the Lewis Thomas Prize by Rockefeller University, which recognizes the scientist as poet. He is an honorary fellow of both the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and holds honorary degrees from many universities, including Oxford, the Karolinska Institute, Georgetown, Bard, Gallaudet, Tufts and the Catholic University of Peru. About Bill T. Jones: Bill T. Jones, a multi-talented artist, choreographer, dancer, theater director and writer, has received major honors ranging from a 1994 MacArthur "Genius" Award to Kennedy Center Honors in 2010. He was inducted into the American Academy of Arts & Sciences in 2009 and named "An Irreplaceable Dance Treasure" by the Dance Heritage Coalition in 2000. His ventures into Broadway theater resulted in a 2010 Tony Award for Best Choreography in the critically acclaimed FELA!, the new musical co-conceived, co-written, directed and choreographed by Mr.

  • THE FIRST FORTY YEARS INTRODUCTION by Susan Stamberg
    THE FIRST FORTY YEARS INTRODUCTION by Susan Stamberg Shiny little platters. Not even five inches across. How could they possibly contain the soundtrack of four decades? How could the phone calls, the encounters, the danger, the desperation, the exhilaration and big, big laughs from two score years be compressed onto a handful of CDs? If you’ve lived with NPR, as so many of us have for so many years, you’ll be astonished at how many of these reports and conversations and reveries you remember—or how many come back to you (like familiar songs) after hearing just a few seconds of sound. And you’ll be amazed by how much you’ve missed—loyal as you are, you were too busy that day, or too distracted, or out of town, or giving birth (guess that falls under the “too distracted” category). Many of you have integrated NPR into your daily lives; you feel personally connected with it. NPR has gotten you through some fairly dramatic moments. Not just important historical events, but personal moments as well. I’ve been told that a woman’s terror during a CAT scan was tamed by the voice of Ira Flatow on Science Friday being piped into the dreaded scanner tube. So much of life is here. War, from the horrors of Vietnam to the brutalities that evanescent medium—they came to life, then disappeared. Now, of Iraq. Politics, from the intrigue of Watergate to the drama of the Anita on these CDs, all the extraordinary people and places and sounds Hill-Clarence Thomas controversy.

  • The Colors of Quail Science
    Wildlife Society Bulletin 1–10; 2021; DOI: 10.1002/wsb.1153 In My Opinion The Colors of Quail Science FIDEL HERNÁNDEZ,1 Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute, Texas A&M University‐Kingsville, Kingsville, TX 78363, USA ABSTRACT Humans engage in 2 modes of thinking: an associative mode and a reasoning mode. In- stitutions and scientific education primarily have focused on reasoning, even though the associative mode is linked to creativity and has been actively nurtured and used by influential scientists. The inattentiveness by scientific institutions toward associative thinking is such that it has been called the forgotten half of scientific thinking, and few opportunities exist for its professional exercising. I was fortunate to have been granted such an opportunity through an invitation to speak at a symposium honoring the retirement of a noted quail scientist. The symposium directive was simple: complete intellectual freedom to explore any quail topic as long as it was grounded in science. These were ideal and welcomed conditions for engaging in associative thought and nurturing dual thinking—that is, thinking engaging both association and rea- soning. Here I provide my scientificreflections. The general themes range from psychology to chaos to dialectical philosophy. Although the topics may seem far removed from quail, I highlight their potential relevancy. I offer these reflections in the spirit of stimulating scientific curiosity in the natural world, as an encouragement to push the boundaries of quail science, and, ultimately, with the hope of encouraging further opportunities for dual thinking in science. © 2021 The Wildlife Society. KEY WORDS chaos, creativity, dual thinking, ecological thresholds, quail, reproductive cues, resilience, scientific thinking, tipping points, umwelt.

  • Human Genome Project
    Human Genome Project The Human Genome Project (HGP) was an international scientific research project with the goal of determining the sequence of nucleotide base pairs that make up human DNA, and of identifying and mapping all of the genes of the human genome from both a physical and a functional standpoint.[1] It remains the world's largest collaborative biological project.[2] After the idea was picked up in 1984 by the US government when the planning started, the project formally launched in 1990 and was declared complete in 2003[3]. Funding came from the US government through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as well as numerous other groups from around the world. A parallel project was conducted outside government by the Celera Corporation, or Celera Genomics, which was formally launched in 1998. Most of the government-sponsored sequencing was performed in twenty universities and research centers in the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, France, Logo HGP; Vitruvian Man, Leonardo Germany, Spain and China.[4] da Vinci The Human Genome Project originally aimed to map the nucleotides contained in a human haploid reference genome (more than three billion). The "genome" of any given individual is unique; mapping the "human genome" involved sequencing a small number of individuals and then assembling these together to get a complete sequence for each chromosome. Therefore, the finished human genome is a mosaic, not representing any one individual. Contents Human Genome Project History State of completion Applications and proposed

Sacks, known for his literary works Awakenings and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, was a fearless explorer of unknown cognitive worlds who helped redefine our understanding of the brain and mind, the diversity of human experience, and our shared humanity. The film features exclusive interviews with Sacks conducted just weeks after he received a terminal diagnosis, and months prior to his death in August 2015, and nearly two dozen deeply revealing and personal interviews with family members, colleagues, patients and close friends, including Jonathan Miller, Robert Silvers, Temple Grandin, Christof Koch, Robert Krulwich, Lawrence Weschler, Roberto Calasso, Paul Theroux, Bill Hayes, Kate Edgar, and Atul Gawande, among others. The film also draws on unique access to the extensive archives of the Oliver Sacks Foundation.

Hicks, PhD Degree Date: August 2013 ABSTRACT Over the past 10 years, the practice of podcasting has migrated from the margins of technological conferences to a central role in popular culture. Podcasting is an Internet-based broadcast medium that relies on Real Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds—a peer subscription service—to automatically retrieve and upload content to a portable MP3 player. In light of its growth and popularity, I ask, ―what is the podcast‘s political potential?‖ In this project, I argue that the podcast has the potential to serve as an instrument of liberal and neurological reasoning.
