She has a master&rsquo\;s degree in Exercise Physiology and a PhD in Human and Molecular Genetics. < br />From metabolism and obesity to mental health\, the gut microbiome has been identified as a key regulator of many bodily functions. Many studies are underway to determine how our diet and lifestyle influence the compos ition of our microbial communities and potential therapies are being exami ned that target the microbiome to improve health outcomes. 'Nutrition and the Gut Microbiome: Feeding Your Microbial Guardians' will provide an over view of the various types of human microbiomes and how behavioral and envi ronmental factors can interact to modify the composition and function of t he gut microbiome\, and in turn\, be modified themselves.

Since the 1990s\, he has worked to restore the natural beauty and diversity of his Mason County ranch\, the Double Helix. In his excursions around his ranch and ac ross the Edwards Plateau\, Hillis came to realize how little most people k now about the plants and animals around them or their importance to our ev eryday lives. He began thinking about how natural history is connected to our enjoyment of life\, especially in a place as beautiful and beloved as the Hill Country\, which\, not coincidentally\, happens to be one of the m ost biodiverse parts of Texas. Featuring short nontechnical essays accomp anied by vivid color photos\, Armadillos to Ziziphus is a charming and cas ual introduction to the environment of the region. Whether walking the pas ture with his Longhorn cattle\, explaining the ecological significance of microscopic organisms in springtime mud puddles\, or marveling at the loc al Ziziphus (aka Lotebush\, a spiny shrub)\, Hillis guides first-time visi tors and long-term residents alike in an appreciation for the Hill Country ’s natural beauty and diversity. David M. Hillis is the director of the B iodiversity Center at the University of Texas at Austin’s College of Natur al Sciences. He was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in 1999 and was elected to the US National Academy of Sciences in 2008. He is also known for his discovery of numerous new species\, including Austin’s iconic Barton Sprin gs Salamander. This program is a wonderful opportunity to invite friends and family - David will have a slide presentation as he shares highlights of many years of living and studying in the Texas hill country.

By 1972\, twelve intrepid Americans had walked on the surface of the Moon. Then\, lunar landings came to an end s o the country could focus on other missions\, including the International Space Station. Now\, the US is planning to return to the Moon. And we are not alone in our ambitions. Several countries as well as some private comp anies are engaged in the quest. What will happen when Earthlings from diff erent countries meet on the lunar surface? How will we get along?

Our Moon has a powerful allure. Not only do we se e it almost every night\, but it also pulls our ocean&rsquo\;s tides and i nspires our stories\, music\, and art.
In 1962\, President John F. Kennedy challenged Americans to land humans on the Moon within a decade. Working feverishly\, brilliant engineers and scientists at NASA met the pr esident&rsquo\;s goal. By 1972\, twelve intrepid Americans had walked on t he surface of the Moon. Then\, lunar landings came to an end so the countr y could focus on other missions\, including the International Space Statio n.
Now\, the US is planning to return to the Moon. And we are not alone in our ambitions. Several countries as well as some private companie s are engaged in the quest.
What will happen when Earthlings from different countries meet on the lunar surface? How will we get along? What guidelines do we need to ensure harmony\, cooperation\, and shared scient ific knowledge that will benefit everyone?

Austini te and native Texan\, West Hansen launched his first expedition 12 years a go\, when he was 50 years old\, leading the first expedition to paddle the entire 4200-mile Amazon River\, establishing a new source which makes the Amazon 90-miles longer than the Nile River. He's a National Geographic Ex plorer\, pioneering the first kayak descent of Europe's longest river\, th e 2200-mile Volga River in Russia\, from its source to the Caspian Sea. Mo st recently\, in 2023 he led the first expedition to successfully kayak th e entire 1600-mile Northwest Passage in the Canadian Arctic\, notorious fo r the legendary doomed Franklin Expedition.
Hansen is a member of the Explorers Club\, most recently serving as the Texas Chapter Chair and currently on the Texas Chapter Board of Directors. He's a graduate of Sout hwest Texas State University (currently Texas State University) and works as a licensed social worker and an independent claims adjuster for natural catastrophes.
He'll be talking about his life as an explorer\, in cluding his brief relationships with polar bears\, pirates\, narcotraffick ers\, pink river dolphins\, curious seals\, wolves\, crushing ice floes\, why you should never share a tent with four people and how you\, too\, can and should be an explorer.
