SUMMARY:Virtual Talk: How Exploration\, Uncertainty\, and Risk Help Us Find Meaning with Author Alex Hutchinson
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER & SUBMIT QUESTIONS HERE \nvia Digital Livestream or on Demand \nIn The Explorer’s Gene: Why We Seek Big Challenges\, New Flavors\, and the Blank Spots on the Map\, Alex Hutchinson dives headfirst into a fascinating and provocative new field of research\, examining how exploration is a fundamental part of what makes us human. \nOff the beaten path\, on unmarked trails\, we are wired to explore. More than just a need to get outside\, the search for the unknown is a specific\, primal urge that has shaped the history of our species and continues to mold our behavior in ways we are just beginning to understand. In fact\, the latest neuroscience suggests that exploration is an essential ingredient of human life. Exploration\, it turns out\, isn’t merely a hobby—it’s our story. \nAnd yet\, it has never been easier to live an exploration-free life\, without the struggle and uncertainty that true exploration—of places\, experiences\, and ideas—requires. With the digital world designed to exploit the neural circuitry behind our drive to explore\, we receive the illusion of novelty without accompanying growth. \nFrom paddling the lost rivers of the northern Canadian wilderness to the ocean-spanning voyages of the Polynesians\, The Explorer’s Gene combines riveting stories of exploration with cutting-edge insights from behavioral psychology and neuroscience. The end result offers a singular approach to finding meaning in our past struggles\, embracing the possibility of failure in our future\, and crucially\, recognizing when our present is good enough. \nRegister now to participate in this timelessly relevant discussion. \nAbout the Author: Alex Hutchinson is a National Magazine Award-winning science journalist with a big-picture focus on human performance and particular interests in fitness\, endurance sports\, and the outdoors. He is Outside magazine’s longtime Sweat Science columnist\, and his writing also appears in The Atlantic\, The New Yorker\, and elsewhere. Before journalism\, he was a postdoctoral physicist at the National Security Agency and a long-distance runner for the Canadian national team. He lives in Toronto with his wife and daughters. \n

SUMMARY:Vitual Talk for Middle Grades: On Writing Beloved Characters and Powerful Portrayals of Resilience in Virtual Conversation with Jason Reynolds
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER & SUBMIT QUESTIONS HERE \nvia Digital Livestream or on Demand \nJoin us in an online conversation with bestselling author Jason Reynolds as we discuss his latest work\, Coach\, the fifth–and last–entry in the highly popular Track series. Following the immersive stories of Ghost\, Lu\, Patina\, and Sunny\, it’s finally time for Coach to shine in his own book as we discover: Who was Coach before he became an inspiring leader? \nBefore Coach was the man who gave caring yet firm-handed guidance to Ghost\, Lu\, Patina\, and Sunny on the Defenders track team\, he was little Otie Brody\, who was obsessed with Mr. 9.99 (a.k.a. Carl Lewis) and Marty McFly from Back to the Future. Like Mr. 9.99—and his own dad—Otie is a sprinter. Sprint free or die is practically his motto. \nThen his dad\, who is always away on business trips\, comes home with a pair of Jordans. JORDANS. Fine as fine can be. Otie puts them on and feels like he can leap to the moon…maybe even leap like Mr. 9.99 when he won the Olympic gold medal in the long jump. But one morning he wakes up to find his brand-new secret weapon kicks are missing—right off his feet! And Otie just might have a fuzzy memory of his dad easing them off as Otie was sleeping\, but that can’t be right\, can it? \nUnless all the reasons for his dad’s “gone’s” are very different from what he’s been told… Because now\, not only are the Jordans missing\, but so is his father. \nRegister now to join in on the online conversation about the final installment to Jason Reynold’s Track series! \nAbout the Author: Jason Reynolds is an award-winning and #1 New York Times bestselling author. Jason’s many books include Miles Morales: Spider Man\, the Track series (Ghost\, Patina\, Sunny\, and Lu)\, Long Way Down\, which received a Newbery Honor\, a Printz Honor\, and a Correta Scott King Honor\, and Look Both Ways\, which was a National Book Award Finalist. Recently named the National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature\, Jason has appeared on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah\, Late Night with Seth Meyers\, and CBS This Morning. He is on faculty at Lesley University\, for the Writing for Young People MFA Program and lives in Washington\, DC. You can find his ramblings at JasonWritesBooks.com.
