SUMMARY:PRE-FESTIVAL EVENT: Adult Afternoon Program - Technology Use and Brain Wellness
DESCRIPTION:Join LaReina Tipping\, Program Manager\, from the Brain Center of Green Bay for Technology Use & Brain Wellness. \nTechnology use can actually cause structural changes in the brain. Pings\, alerts\, rings\, and notifications can shift our focus in a way that can lead to long-lasting difficulties with paying attention. Difficulties paying attention can lead to poorer performance on academic\, personal\, and professional tasks. \nLets embrace neuroplasticity\, be mindful and balance our technology use. \nThis program will last approximately one hour and will take place in the Shattuck Community Room. \nThis program was made possible by the Friends of the Neenah Library and the Neenah Public Library Trust Fund. Donations to the Friends and the Trust Fund are always accepted and appreciated. \nEveryone is welcome. If accommodations are needed to attend\, please contact the library administrative office at 920-886-6315 or by email at library@neenahlibrary.org at least 24 hours in advance of the program.

SUMMARY:PRE-FESTIVAL EVENT: Fearless Science Forum - How do scientists know what they know
DESCRIPTION:How do scientists know what they know? In an era of competition for attention filled with rapid discoveries\, seemingly incredible claims and conflicting headlines\, understanding the path from a lab theory to an established fact is more vital than ever. \nJoin Morgridge CEO Brad Schwartz\, national leader in science policy Keith Yamamoto\, Director of the Morgridge Institute’s Rowe Center for Virology\, Paul Ahlquist\, and Morgridge Institute Investigator\, Melissa Skala as they peel back the curtain on the scientific method. Together we explore: \nProof: How observations turn into verified facts. \nThe Power of Mistake: Why failing\, replicating\, and peer-reviewing are among science’s greatest strengths. \nNavigating Uncertainty: How scientists make decisions when the data isn’t 100% clear. \nThe live and on-line session will conclude with an audience Q&A\, giving you the chance to ask your most pressing questions directly to our experts. \nA virtual broadcast via Zoom will also be available.

SUMMARY:Craft/Work Exhibition Open House
DESCRIPTION:Join Ebling Library’s Curator of Historical Collections for an exhibition open house of “Craft/Work: A History of Occupational and Art Therapies.” Drawn from the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s medical history collections\, the exhibition traces the intersections of psychiatry\, disability rights\, social work\, and art across three centuries to explore how art- and craftmaking affect our wellbeing. Craft/Work moves from the French Revolutionary origins of “moral treatment” in asylums to the emergence of occupational therapy from the Arts and Crafts and Settlement House movements to the surprising influence of Bauhaus emigrés on theories of art therapy. \nPlease note that the exhibition includes materials that depict graphic wartime injuries and full-frontal male nudity. Historical materials may also use outdated and potentially harmful language to refer to a variety of mental and physical disabilities. Please take care when attending. \nRecommended for PG13+ \n

SUMMARY:Scientists in all of US
DESCRIPTION:There is a Scientist in all of us! Join us at the Pauline Haass Public Library to discover the science hidden in everyday life. We’re bringing science “down to earth” as we learn to think like scientists about the big and small things we do every day.\nWe’ll also explore how our local community helpers use science to get the job done! Have you ever wondered how science keeps us safe\, helps us cook a meal\, gets us from place to place\, or keeps us healthy? Here is your chance to turn that curiosity into discovery!
