November 19, 2023 The Wonder of Trees: Sleepy Science Story
For tonight's sleep-inducing talk, I invite you for a long moment in the woods. We explore the origins of plants and how they evolved from microscopic algae to mosses, ferns, seed plants with or without flowers. I also discuss the life cycle of trees, what they are made of, and many aspects that often go unnoticed such as their ability to exchange signals, connect by their roots, develop mutualistic relationships or adapt to different environments. We review extraordinary trees too: Hyperion, the tallest tree in the world, Methuselah, the oldest independent tree (both in California); the Arbol de Tule, the stouter known tree (Mexico), and extremely old clonal colonies like Old Tjikko in Sweden and Pando in Utah.

November 15, 2023 New Orleans, Vudu, and Marie Laveau: Sleepy History
In this bedtime story, I tell you about New Orleans, Voodoo and the famous "Voodoo Queen," Marie Laveau, who dominated Louisiana Voodoo in the 19th Century. We take a look at how different syncretic religions formed in South and North America, combining African religions like Vodun or Yoruba with Roman Catholicism and indigenous beliefs, or the particular blend that happened in Louisiana with the influence of Haitian Voodoo. We also explore the history of New Orleans since its foundation and what its unique culture brought to the world, including Jazz music.
