SUMMARY:Understanding Systems of Bias in the United States
DESCRIPTION:We’ve long known about disparities in income\, homeownership\, college completion across race and ethnicity. But how did these differences come to be\, and why have they persisted so long?  This talk will explore several competing explanations and then argue that the present disparities can be best understood and solved by identifying the network of systems in our society that perpetuate poverty for the non-white poor.  Our guest speaker is DJ Passey.\n\nThis meeting is a Zoom “hybrid” meeting.  We will meet at our regular venue\, Extraordinary Ventures\, where the program will take place.  We will also Zoom the program.    If you wish to attend via Zoom\, please email info@ehstnc.org with your first and last name to be registered as an attendee for this program.

SUMMARY:How to Design Climate-Resilient Buildings
DESCRIPTION:EHST will view and discuss a video Ted Talk presented by Alyssa-Amor Gibbons.  Ms. Gibbons is from Barbados and designs environmentally conscious architecture that combines a reverence for nature with a sense of human interconnectedness. \nArchitecture can’t ignore the realities of climate change. For time-tested solutions that perform under extreme conditions\, designer Alyssa-Amor Gibbons says we should look to traditional buildings. Taking us to her home of Barbados\, where the hurricane season is unforgiving and freak storms are becoming more frequent\, Gibbons points to the brilliance of endemic\ndesigns that are built to work with nature — rather than against it. \nMs. Gibbons has a master’s degree in structural engineering and architecture and has worked on projects throughout the Caribbean and the UK. She is a champion of net-zero building practices and virtual architectural modeling\, which allows designers to drill down to the tiniest details before laying a single brick. “My passion is for delivering architecture that tells a story of consideration\, environmental consciousness\, energy efficiency and resilience\,” she says. \n  \nThis program will be presented via a Zoom session. You do not need a Zoom account to “attend” this virtual meeting.  If you would like to be a participant in the meeting\, please email us at info@ehstnc.org and provide your first and last name in your request.

SUMMARY:Probability and Ethics
DESCRIPTION:John Holmgren\, EHST member and Mathematical Psychologist\, will make the claim  that all real-world ethical decisions are based on probability.  He will then attempt to prove that claim by showing through argument\, examples\, and consideration of some well-known ethical dilemmas how both objective and subjective probability considerations affect our ethical decision-making.   A question and answer period will follow his talk. \nMr. Holmgren received a PhD in Mathematical Psychology from Stanford in 1970.  After receiving his degree\, he was a member of the Psychology faculty at the University of Maryland\, where he taught both undergraduate and graduate courses in statistics.  Most of his career was spent at Bell Laboratories (22 years)\, where he led groups developing new services for AT&T and worked on some of the initial applications of both speech recognition and speech synthesis in the phone system.  Since retiring in 2002\, Mr. Holmgren has maintained his interest in probability theory through reading and problem solving. \nThis meeting is a Zoom “hybrid” meeting.  We will meet at our regular venue\, Extraordinary Ventures\, where the program will take place.  We will also Zoom the program.    If you wish to attend via Zoom\, please email info@ehstnc.org with your first and last name to be registered as an attendee for this program.
