SUMMARY:Dr. JJ Hermes - Real-Life Death Stars: Measuring the Composition of Rocks on Alien Planets by Tearing Them Apart
DESCRIPTION:White dwarf stars are the endpoints of all low-mass stars\, including our Sun\, and their high density means that all heavy elements rapidly settle out of their atmospheres. However\, a large fraction of white dwarfs show heavy metals like calcium\, oxygen\, magnesium\, and iron in their atmospheres. Dr. Hermes will discuss observations of the violent ends to many close-in planets and asteroids that are ripped apart and pollute white dwarf stars\, revealing the bulk composition of rocky alien worlds. \nDr. JJ Hermes is an assistant professor in the Department of Astronomy at Boston University\, focused on high-precision observations of the endpoints of stars\, planets\, and binary systems. Before moving to Boston in 2019\, Dr. Hermes was a Hubble Fellow at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill\, an ERC postdoctoral fellow at the University of Warwick in central England\, and he completed a Ph.D. at the University of Texas at Austin.

SUMMARY:Science Showcase (formerly Citizen Science Weekend)
DESCRIPTION:NBI is presenting a week full of events highlighting our partner organizations and sub-committees. All events open to the public. Registration and capacity details vary by organization. Click here for the Schedule of Events. \n  \nNantucket has a wealth of scientists\, researchers\, and naturalists studying the variety of biodiversity within Nantucket’s natural world. Every other year during even years\, NBI hosts a weekend where you can connect with these scientists and participate in our field research. \nThe Science Showcase provides opportunities for the public to join our island scientists and guest researchers from off-island for a variety of events\, including ecological field trips\, invasive species management and research data collection! You can have a chance to learn about the island’s rare or invasive plants\, birds\, insects\, beach invertebrates\, turtles\, snakes\, trees and marine life. \nNBI has been hosting a field science event in alternate\, even years since 2004. The event started as a weeklong BioBlitz and shifted to an interactive\, island-wide Citizen Science Weekend in 2014 designed to get EVERYONE out exploring and researching the natural biodiversity of Nantucket. The event has been renamed Science Showcase starting in 2021 (originally planned for 2020 but was rescheduled due to COVID-19)\, and will return to being a full week highlighting the work that NBI partner organizations and sub-committees do. \nEvery other year\, scientists and naturalists converge on Nantucket for an event focusing on biodiversity related inventory work\, research and public education. The timing of the event varies from year to year in an effort to observe and document a wider variety of species at different stages of their respective life cycles. Experts in plant identification\, insects\, reptiles\, amphibians\, birds\, mammals and other taxa spend time leading walks\, recording species lists\, conducting research and networking. Anyone interested in learning about the biodiversity of Nantucket is welcome to participate. \nPast field trips and public events have included topics and titles such as “Liken’ Lichen”\, “Battling Aliens on Nantucket” “Exploring Folger’s Marsh”\, “Behavioral Ecology and Conservation of Snapping Turtles”\, a Herpetological walk with Tobias Landberg\, a Smooth Hummocks Sandplain Grasslands Walk\, bird-banding at Edith Andrews’ house on Long Pond\, dragonfly and damselfly catching and identification along Miacomet Pond\, and “Spiders on a Friendly Basis”.
