Jayme Stone is a musician, composer, instigator, producer, and educator. On any given day, you might find him in his studio reworking a little-known hymn learned from a field recording, producing a session with musicians from Bamako or New York, creating experimental soundscapes, or tucking his kids in on time so he can get back to writing the next verse of a new song.
Stone, a “consummate team player” (Downbeat), has developed a process of trawling for understudied sounds in the more arcane corners of the world to see how they’ll land in his musical universe. His many collaborators have included Margaret Glaspy, Moira Smiley, Tim O’Brien, Bruce Molsky, Julian Lage, Dom Flemons, Bassekou Kouyate, and more. Guided by his own aesthetic compass and a desire to let his collaborators “make the sounds that only they know how to make”, he has made a surprise album every two or three years—seven total. Albums like Africa to Appalachia, a polyrhythmic tale of two continents and the Lomax Project, which re-imagines songs collected by American folklorist Alan Lomax.
On his latest album, AWake, Stone breaks new ground: from folk musician and composer to experimental pop singer and producer. A unique tonal palette blends with deft storytelling and disarmingly honest lyrics to create a sonic world both eminently engaging and full of nuance and surprise. Co-produced by David Travers-smith, AWake features Felicity Williams (Bahamas), Daniela Gesundheit (Feist), Jason Burger (Big Thief), Jason Linder (David Bowie), and more.

The most anticipated observatory ever built—the James Webb Space Telescope—will soon be launched on one of the world’s largest rockets. Webb must be precisely folded to fit into the rocket, and then once deployed it must precisely unfold—a series of minute steps that Webb’s international team will anxiously monitor.
Ball Aerospace built Webb’s optical system and is supporting NASA’s integration and test and will support the launch and commissioning as Webb travels one million miles to its orbit point. Webb far exceeds the Hubble telescope in sensitivity and complexity and promises to exceed Hubble’s cosmic-revealing powers.
About the speaker: Erin Wolf, Ball Aerospace
Erin Wolf has worked on Webb since 2009, at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and then at Ball Aerospace. Before her role as Ball’s Webb program manager, she contributed to Landsat 9’s TIRS-2 instrument and to Hubble Servicing Mission 4. Erin received her B.S. in physics from the University of Puget Sound.

Lynn Hill is a living legend. Few have accomplished an athletic feat more than a decade before anyone else- man or woman. Lynn changed the definition of what is possible in rock climbing with her first free ascent of the most famous big wall climb in the world called The Nose on El Capitan in Yosemite Valley, California. Over nineteen years later, Tommy Caldwell and Lynn are still the only two people in the world to have succeeded in making an all free one-day ascent of The Nose.
Moderated by Bill Briggs
Bill Briggs grew up in Boulder, learned to climb in the Flatirons and nearby canyons, and has climbed and run in the Colorado Rockies all his life.

Over the last 30 years, measurements of distant objects have revolutionized our views on cosmology and fundamental physics. To try and explain what we observe, efforts have focused on improving our theoretical models of the universe, as well as gaining more and higher quality observations of galaxies and the structure of the universe. This talk will review the current understanding and outstanding questions, with a focus on the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph, an instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope that was designed and built in Boulder by the University of Colorado and Ball Aerospace.
Professor Green received his B.S. in Physics from Stanford University in 1982 and his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1989. He has spent his career designing and building instrumentation for space astronomy applications, and analyzing data from such instruments. He was the Principal Investigator for the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph, which was the final instrument installed in the Hubble Space Telescope in May 2009. He also designed and built the spectrograph for the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE), which launched in 1999. He has developed several instruments for launch on sub-orbital rockets, and has personally participated in 20 rocket launches as Principal Investigator or project scientist. He has served as Director of the Center for Astrophysics and Space Astronomy, the Chair of the Department of Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences, co-chair of the WFIRST science and technology definition team, and as a member of the NASA Advisory Council Science Committee. His science interests include observational cosmology, the local interstellar medium and theoretical studies of the earliest moments of the universe.
