Minerals in Medicine
Did you ever wonder what rocks and minerals have to do with medicine? Lots! This talk is an eclectic review of some of the ways minerals are used in medicine, some of the ways our bodies produce minerals, and some examples of when stones got to places they shouldn't have.

How we and our fishy ancestors hear sound
Hearing lets us use spoken language to share ideas and connect with one another. It also works in all directions and doesn’t depend on light, giving us a fast sense of what’s happening around us. But how does hearing actually work? How do our ears transform vibrations into sound? And how did this remarkable ability arise from our shared ancestry with fish?
Bonus points for wearing your skeleton/fish/fish skeleton costume!
