Have you ever wondered if plants could grow in outer space? Or how the space station doesn’t break down in outer space? Or how astronauts go to the toilet in microgravity? \nBehind the Scenes at the Space Station is a treasure trove of information. Did you know that during a 24-hour period\, the space station completes 16 orbits of Earth and the astronauts on board see 16 sunrises and sunsets every day? Or that the International Space Station is so enormous that it was launched in pieces and constructed in orbit? \nBrimming with astonishing visuals\, step-by-step explanations of everyday space work in action\, and job profiles of the adventurous people who make it happen\, Dr. Levasseur’s tour Behind the Scenes at the Space Station is the perfect way to spend an hour and experience life in space. \nRegister now for your all-access pass to a spectacular home in space! \nAbout the Author: Dr. Jennifer Levasseur is a proud graduate of the University of Michigan (BA\, 1999). She received an MA from George Washington University (2002) and a PhD from George Mason University (2014). Her first book\, published in 2020\, examined the cultural significance of astronaut photography. She is the responsible curator for the Museum’s astronaut cameras\, chronographs\, the Space Shuttle\, and International Space Station programs. In 22 years at NASM\, Jennifer has worked on artifact loans\, a biennial museums conference\, and numerous digital projects. She curated the 2015 exhibit Outside the Spacecraft: 50 Years of Extra-Vehicular Activity\, co-curated One World Connected\, and is lead curator for the forthcoming At Home in Space gallery. \nJennifer started her Smithsonian career with an internship in the National Portrait Gallery\, where she cataloged photographs and developed strategies for recording portrait information in the museum’s artifact database.

SUMMARY:The Golden Ticket to College Admissions Is Not What You Think: Redefining Success for Parents of Teens with Irena Smith\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:The Golden Ticket to College Admissions Is Not What You Think: Redefining Success for Parents of Teens with Irena Smith\, PhD\nThursday\, August 15 at 2:00 pm via digital live-stream \nREGISTER HERE \nAnother college application season is around the corner\, and stress is already beginning to ratchet up for teens and their parents. You’re invited to join us for this must-watch talk by Irena Smith\, PhD. You will hear about constructive and healthy ways to approach the college application process\, preserve your relationship with your teen\, and help them define success on their terms instead of chasing the elusive “golden ticket.” \nIrena is a former Stanford Admissions Officer who has spent 18 years advising accomplished\, tightly-wound students in Palo Alto and around the world. She saw firsthand the extreme measures parents took to help their children gain admission to highly selective colleges and the toll it took on the children as well as on their parents. \nAt the same time\, Irena’s own children struggled with developmental delays\, learning differences\, severe depression\, and anxiety. She kept her double life—successful college counselor at work\, anxious mom at home—tightly under wraps for years until a stunning realization: she was exactly like the anxious parents of the students she worked with\, all of whom were equally terrified about their children’s future. Irena’s memoir\, The Golden Ticket: A Life in College Admissions Essays\, which candidly explores her personal as well as professional life\, was published in 2023\, and she has since devoted her time to speaking out about hard things: the heavy burden of generational expectations\, teen and young adult mental health\, and the importance of embracing a broader\, more generous vision of what it means to succeed. To learn more about Irena’s personal experience as a parent\, professional experience as a college admissions officer\, and leave with tips on how to help your child approach the application process in practical\, healthy ways–register now! \nAbout the Author: Irena Smith is an author\, former Stanford admissions officer\, independent college counselor\, and mother of three extraordinary children. She emigrated from the former Soviet Union with her parents when she was nine years old. In spite of her fierce insistence that she would never\, not ever\, learn English\, she went on to earn a BA in English and then a PhD in Comparative Literature (both from UCLA\, where she received a Distinguished Teaching Assistant Award and Dissertation Year Fellowship). Irena taught literature and composition at UCLA and Stanford before transitioning to college admissions\, college advising\, and writing. Her recently published memoir\, The Golden Ticket: A Life in College Admissions Essays is the winner of the Story Circle Network’s Gilda Award\, named in honor of comedian Gilda Radner to recognize honest\, authentic writing that “makes us laugh even when we want to cry.” It’s been described by Forbes as “captivating and smart… a potential antidote to the fevered belief that being admitted to an elite college will spell the difference between a successful life vs. a doomed future.” She has given a TEDx talk on humanizing the college application process and writes about parenting\, college admissions\, and redefining success in her weekly Substack newsletter\, The Golden Ticket (is not what you think). You can also find her on Substack at Personal Statements.

Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine\, but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight tentacles for his human captors—until he forms an unlikely friendship with Tova. \nEver the detective\, Marcellus deduces what happened the night Tova’s son disappeared. As his affection for Tova grows\, Marcellus must use every trick his old\, invertebrate body can muster to unearth the truth for her before it’s too late. \nCharming\, compulsively readable\, and full of wit\, Shelby Van Pelt’s debut novel is a beautiful exploration of friendship\, reckoning\, and hope–a reminder that sometimes taking a hard look at the past can help uncover a future that once felt impossible.

SUMMARY:Early Inns & Taverns Across Connecticut & New England
DESCRIPTION:Early Inns & Taverns Across Connecticut & New England\nIn partnership with the Bridgwater Historical Society \nPlease RSVP using the link below. Refreshments will be served. \nThe foundation of the United States was built upon the vibrant tavern culture that thrived during colonial times. Taverns were not just places to drink\, but also served as welcoming havens for travelers in need of food and lodging for both themselves and their trusty steeds. As the American Revolution brewed\, these establishments shed their British roots and proudly embraced the title of taverns\, becoming hotbeds of rebellion and camaraderie.In a groundbreaking shift\, both men and women were granted licenses to manage taverns\, leading to a wave of successful entrepreneurs. Join us as John Cilio takes us on a journey\nthrough the varied experiences of travelers who dined\, drank\, and rested at these historic New England establishments with a focus on Connecticut. It’s incredible to think that several of these iconic taverns still stand today! \nSpeaker Bio: John Cilio\nJohn Cilio is a fascinating historical storyteller\, author\, and researcher who has been captivating audiences with his tales of the past for over 15 years. As a proud member of the Organization of American Historians and the Association for the Study of Connecticut History\, John has shared his wealth of knowledge through numerous articles in national magazines and newspapers. John Cilio continues to inspire and educate with his captivating storytelling and in-depth research. Get ready to be transported through time and experience history though period stories and vintage photographs. \n
