В новом выпуске программы «Смысловая нагрузка» мы поговорили про «плохую» науку. Что это значит? Какое отношение это имеет к выявлению плагиата в научных диссертациях? И зачем это выявление вообще нужно?

Наш мир — очень древний. Масштабы процессов, которые шли миллиарды лет и привели к появлению нас с вами, сложно представить. Но, все-таки, почему бы не попробовать? Большой взрыв, формирование первой материи из чистой энергии, коллапсирование звезд под собственным весом и разбрасывание своего содержимого в космос, чтобы в дальнейшем дать шанс на развитие крохотной планетке под названием Земля.
Как на ней появилась жизнь, откуда появилась вода, зачем растения тянутся к солнцу, почему некоторые насекомые взрываются, а раньше вообще были размером с собаку? Ну и, конечно, откуда на этой планете мы с вами и куда движемся? Все разберем на лекции.
Обсудим, где рождаются звезды и почему вокруг них появляются планеты.
Узнаем, как появилась Земля, откуда на ней вода и почему кислород стал катастрофой общепланетарного масштаба.
Узнаем, как развивалась жизнь на планете: кто первый вышел на сушу и с помощью чего адаптировался к внешним условиям;
Поговорим об эволюции человека: кем были первые люди, как они менялись и что ждет наш вид в будущем.
Лекция пройдет в рамках лектория о науке «Можно попроще».
Многим кажется, что проблема изменения климата – это где-то далеко, не про нас. Нет! Всё гораздо проще. К примеру, отказаться от мяса по понедельникам – это простой шаг, не радикальный. А это уже сокращение выбросов парниковых газов от каждого домохозяйства на 1/7!

As kids now spend more time with entertainment media, theyre getting less and less time outdoors, despite the mental and physical health benefits. Ben Klasky, CEO of IslandWood, a 255-acre outdoor learning center, proposes a free and natural remedy to the physical problems kids face: the Great Outdoors.
Ben grew up in Minnesota where he spent lots of time outdoors. He serves as President and CEO of IslandWood, a nonprofit organization that helps tens of thousands of kids get out into nature. IslandWoods 255-acre headquarters is based on Bainbridge Island, WA, and features some of the most environmentally sustainable buildings in the world. The organization targets low-income, at-risk youth, and introduces them to roar of tree frogs, soaring bald eagles, and star-filled skies, helping them to discover natural connections with the outdoors.
He is the co-founder of Camp Galileo, which has grown into the largest set of day camps in the Bay Area; and he co-founded Board Fellows while earning his MBA and Masters in Education from Stanford. Board Fellows places business school students on nonprofit boards, and the model has been replicated at over 75 other business schools. Ben teaches a graduate class on Social Entrepreneurship at the University of Washingtons Evans School of Public Affairs and a graduate class on Nonprofit Management.
