"Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is of increasing prevalence and can
lead to cirrhosis and total liver failure and can be found in children
as young as 2 years of age through adulthood. Death can occur not only
from liver failure but more likely, associated cardiovascular disease.
This talk will review the clinical presentation and natural course of
this disease process and its possible associations with modern
lifestyle, diet and gastrointestinal (gut) microbiota.
"GOAL – to raise awareness and basic understanding of NON-ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE for lay people."

Darwin Day 2019 Lecture "Heroes of Evolution"
by Stephen L. Gasior, Ph.D
Tuesday, February 12th at 6 AM PST
"Heroes of Evolution: Kettlewell and Majerus: Of Moths and March of Science
"This lecture will honor the accomplishments of two scientists who helped demonstrate “Evolution in Action.”
"Dr. Henry Bernard Davis Kettlewell spent time in the field counting
moths in response to increasing amounts of pollution. This phenomenon of
industrial melanism was an excellent demonstration of microevolution
showing how a population of organisms change in accordance with
environmental changes. Unfortunately, scientific criticism lead to junk
science criticisms by anti-evolutionists.
"Dr. Mike Majerus followed up on the scientific criticisms with his
own updated experiments solidifying this basic concept of modern
evolutionary theory. This talk focuses on the basics of the science and
also the process of how science works.
"It will, as is typical for the speaker, criticize the bad faith
arguments of the anti-evolutionists and reflect on the challenges for
rational thought in today’s culture."
