SUMMARY:Charitable Lecture: Molecules of Life: DNA\, RNA\, Proteins
DESCRIPTION:Dear friends and families\, especially with school-age children and grandchildren\, we hope to see you at our [100% charitable] popular science lecture and discussion at Lumen Academy (Waltham) at 1:00 pm on Sunday April 6th! \nLEARN MORE & REGISTER \nHope you can make it\, this should be fun! \nOur presenter is Eugene Shakhnovich\, chemistry professor at Harvard University\, and he will be taking us on a voyage inside the cell\, talking about how molecules of life (DNA\, RNA\, proteins) work together to create all living things! \n———————————————————————-\nLecture\, Q&A Discussion\, Social Hour\nMolecules of Life: DNA\, RNA\, Proteins\nWhat are they\, how they form and how do they work in our cells?\nSunday Apr 6\, 2025\n1pm – 4pm\nLumen Academy\n175 Main St\, Waltham\, MA\nFree parking in the school/church parking lot\nLecture/Q&A/Discussion: 1:00 pm\, ~1.5 hours total\nSocial hour: through 4 pm (snacks and drinks\, family games\, especially the Game of Hat) – for those who wish to stay longer\nAges: 10+ (middle school through adults\, families encouraged to attend together) \nLEARN MORE & REGISTER \nAdmission:\n$20 kids\n$10 adults\nMax $40 per family\nPlease pre-register and pre-pay via PayPal (dfroim@yahoo.com) \nThis is a charitable event and all funds raised will be channeled to help Ukraine through RememberUs.org and Global Disaster Relief Team \nPayments and additional donations will also be accepted at the door (cash\, Venmo\, PayPal)\, but we encourage you to pre-register (and/or pre-pay) so that we know in advance how many people we expect. \nLecture by Eugene Shakhnovich\, Ph.D.\nRoy G. Gordon Professor of Chemistry\nDepartment of Chemistry and Chemical Biology\, Harvard University \nWhat is a gene? How is information about us is stored in our genomes? How is genetic information transmitted in cells from genes to workhorses of life – proteins? What are proteins and what do they do in cells? How do they fold in cells and who helps them? What happens when proteins fail to fold correctly? Get ready for a journey to the fascinating world of molecules of life – building blocks of all cells\, from bacteria to humans. Professor Shakhnovich\, your guide\, will tell you exciting stories about adventures of DNA\, RNA and Proteins in living cells. \nEugene Shakhnovich studied physics at Moscow State University and got his PhD in 1984 in Biophysics. Arrived in the USA in 1990 to join the lab of Professor Martin Karplus (2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry). Professor at Harvard since 1991\, currently a Roy Gordon Chair in Chemistry\, Chemical Biology and Biophysics.
