SUMMARY:Fungi + Plant Hat-Making Workshop on Mon 4/21
DESCRIPTION:Fungi & Plant Hat Making Workshop on Mon 4/21 for LIVING SOILS RISING \nMon\, Apr 21 (5-9pm) at Henson Carriage House \nCreate hats and wearables of fungi and plants local to Northern Brooklyn that are soil remediators – meaning they help to repair toxic\, polluted soils! \nJoin four experienced costume\, mask and head-piece makers and learn basic headpiece construction techniques while contributing to the artistic process of LIVING SOILS RISING! Our goal is to make 20 Fungi & Plant Hats to be worn by the 20 tour guides who will be leading mini-walking tours during LIVING SOILS RISING\, a large participatory performance on Sunday\, May 4\, 2025 in Northern Brooklyn to seed the future for climate justice and healing at the place where the fossil fuel industry was first born\, and still stands today.  \nAll materials provided\, including images of specific plants and fungi that we will be creating\, as well as design ideas\, models and approaches. You are welcome to bring your own crafting ideas and materials as well. \nMore info and registration here.

SUMMARY:Taste of Science: Fungus Among Us
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for a night of science and storytelling inspired by HBO’s The Last of Us\, where a fungal outbreak drives the plot—and the panic. \nOur first speaker will explore the real-world microbes that can infect humans\, and the growing risks they pose. Our second speaker will uncover the bizarre world of slime molds—single-celled organisms that move\, solve puzzles\, and defy expectations. \nFrom terrifying spores to brainless brilliance\, come explore the strange\, spore-filled side of science that might just be stranger than fiction. \nDoors open at 7:00PM. Event is 21+. Limited capacity – reserve your spot here! $5 \nSpeakers: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLiving in a world of fungi. \n\n\n\n\nTobias Hohl\, MD\, PhD\nhe/him\nwww.mskcc.org/research-areas/labs/tobias-hohl\nBlueSky: @fungalspore \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHumans inhale and ingest fungi every day on Earth. For the vast majority of us\, these daily encounters are silent and innocuous. A small subset of fungi can cause life-threatening diseases in vulnerable populations\, typically when the immune system sustains an injury. This talk focuses on the resilience of humans and their immune defenses against ubiquitous fungi. Tobias will explore how our immune defenses recognize and eliminate fungi when they pose an invasive threat. \nTobias Hohl is Chief of Infectious Disease Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and a physician-scientist and who studies how fungi on Earth can cause life-threatening diseases in humans. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMyxomycetes: Slime-tastic fun-guys of the microbial world! \n\n\n\n\nElan Trybuch\nhe/him\nelan.trybuch.com\nInstagram: @elaniobro / @nyc.slime.patrol\nBlueSky: @trybuch.com / @newyorkmyc \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElan Trybuch will explore slimemold lifecycle\, classification\, and their biodiversity in the five boroughs. \nElan is the current acting Secretary of the New York Mycological Society and a Myxomycete specialist\, helping to identify species and document the biodiversity of Fungi and Myxomycetes in NYC. He currently lives in Redhook\, Brooklyn with his partner and works at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center as an Integration Engineering Manager.
