Ann Marie Cody, NASA Ames Research Center, works with the Kepler Space Telescope team on the K2 mission. She’ll talk about the Universe and its rocky and gaseous bodies. Dr. Cody will show how Kepler is illuminating the conditions surrounding planet formation by providing high-precision time series data on young stars and their protoplanetary disks, and discuss a recently discovered transiting planet around a newborn star in the Scorpius region.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
