He is an evolutionary biologist and behavioral ecologist fascinated by the diversity that can be found within species\, especially in sexual traits. During his PhD\, he began studying White-necked Jacobin hummingbirds as a STRI Short-Term Fellow\, and later as a Smithsonian Predoctoral Fellow. His findings\, that some females of this species look like males while others do not\, has become the cornerstone of his research program. He is inspired by the dizzying array of feather coloration that can be found in hummingbirds. After completing his PhD at Cornell University\, he moved to the University of Washington to study hummingbird movement and metabolism. Now at the University of Colorado\, he is investigating the genetics and development of feather coloration. Jay currently lives in Gamboa\, Panamá\, where he studies the hummingbirds that visit the feeders at his house on the edge of the forest. \n \nThis event is generously sponsored by the Friends of the Mountain View Library.  URL:https://events.splitbunch.com/event/the-stories-science-and-history-of-birds-with-smithsonian-biologist-jay-falk/ CATEGORIES:Mountain View Public Library END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250805T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250805T110000 DTSTAMP:20260623T210508 CREATED:20250728T022603Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250728T022603Z UID:2049-1754389800-1754391600@events.splitbunch.com SUMMARY:Summer Outdoor Storytime DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday\, August 5\, 2025 Time: 10:30 am – 11:00 am Location: Pioneer Park \nBring a blanket and enjoy stories\, songs\, and rhymes with our Children's Librarians in Pioneer Park.

A mother watches helplessly as each of her children is replaced by a changeling. A woman is haunted each month by the same four chords of a single song. In neurology\, illness is inextricably linked with narrative\, the clues to unraveling these mysteries hidden in both the details of a patient's story and the tells of their body. \nStories are etched into the very structure of our brains\, coded so deeply that the impulse for storytelling survives and even surges after the most devastating injuries. But our brains are also porous—the stories they concoct are shaped by cultural narratives about bodies and illness that permeate the minds of doctors and patients alike. In the history of medicine\, some stories are heard\, while others—the narratives of women\, of Black and brown people\, of displaced people\, of disempowered people—are too often dismissed. \nIn The Mind Electric\, neurologist Pria Anand reveals—through case study\, history\, fable\, and memoir—all that the medical establishment has overlooked: the complexity and wonder of brains in health and in extremis\, and the vast gray area between sanity and insanity\, doctor and patient\, and illness and wellness\, each separated from the next by the thin veneer of a different story. \nMoving from the Boston hospital where she treats her patients\, to her childhood years in India\, to Isla Providencia in the Caribbean and to the Republic of Guinea in West Africa\, she demonstrates again and again the compelling paradox at the heart of neurology: that even the most peculiar symptoms can show us something universal about ourselves as humans. Register now to join this intriguing virtual conversation! \nNot able to attend live? You can access the recording for this event and all Online Author Series events on our website shortly after they conclude. \nAbout the Author: Pria Anand is a neurologist at the Boston Medical Center and an Assistant Professor at the Boston University School of Medicine. She is a graduate of Yale University and Stanford Medical School\, and she trained in neurology\, neuro-infectious diseases\, and neuroimmunology at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and the Massachusetts General Hospital. \n \nThis event is generously sponsored by the Friends of the Mountain View Library.  URL:https://events.splitbunch.com/event/on-the-strangeness-and-wonder-of-our-brains-with-pria-anand/ CATEGORIES:Mountain View Public Library END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250730T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250730T170000 DTSTAMP:20260623T210508 CREATED:20250728T022601Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250728T022601Z UID:2044-1753891200-1753894800@events.splitbunch.com SUMMARY:ESL Conversation Club DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, July 30\, 2025 Time: 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm Presenter: Staff Adult Location: 1st Floor Program Room \nAre you learning or improving your spoken English?
