SUMMARY:From Rooftops to Space: The New Era of Solar Cells
DESCRIPTION:Solar cells have evolved from traditional silicon panels on rooftops to new technologies like lightweight and flexible perovskite solar cells. This talk will explain how solar cells turn sunlight into electricity and explore how advances in materials and manufacturing are making solar energy more powerful\, affordable\, and useful in applications ranging from homes to space missions. The presentation will provide an easy-to-understand look at the future of clean energy and why solar technology matters for everyone.

SUMMARY:The Magic of Fireflies: Is their bright light fading?
DESCRIPTION:Fireflies\, or lightning bugs\, are neither flies nor bugs. They are actually in the beetle family and are beginning to appear in local fields and forests. The light they emit is a biochemical reaction that can vary from green to yellow to red. This talk will focus on the fascinating biology of fireflies\, their threats\, and what we can do to help them persist.
