Dimitar Sasselov, Professor of Astronomy at Harvard University; Founder and Director, Harvard Origins of Life Initiative
The discovery of a new Earth, or other world, may be in our future, says Sasselov. But a truly "alien" life form is more likely to emerge from our planets natural environment or in a petri dish at a research lab. In the past year, we have witnessed unprecedented breakthroughs in the seemingly unrelated fields of synthetic biology and exo-planetary astronomy. Just recently, arsenic-based bacteria was discovered in a California lake – both puzzling and electrifying the scientific world. Sasselov aims to highlight these groundbreaking findings and explain how what we learn in the laboratory informs our investigation of the universe, and vice versa.

February 8 – May 18, 2012
Opening Reception: Wednesday, February 8 5:30-7:30 pm
Exhibition Location: Ground Floor of City Hall, 1 Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Pl.
Viewing Hours: Monday – Friday, 8am – 8pm, Free
The San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery’s Art at City Hall program presents Seeing Double – The Best of DOUBLEtruck Magazine, a travelling exhibition organized by KONA Gallery and Photojournalism Center (San Clemente, CA). Seeing Double offers a chance to view a selection of over 60 of the best photographs featured in the first five years of the award-winning quarterly magazine DOUBLEtruck. The exhibition is a virtual time capsule of some of the most memorable moments in recent history captured by world-renowned photojournalists.
SFAC Gallery Director, Meg Shiffler says, “Hosting this epic exhibition at historic City Hall offers viewers the opportunity to learn about, or revisit, the celebrations and tragedies that have defined recent history through iconic images that illuminate the human condition.”
Seeing Double was curated by Scott McKeirnen, publisher of DOUBLEtruck, director of KONA Gallery and Photojournalism Center, and the founder of ZUMA Press, the largest picture agency and wire service in the world run by a photojournalist. Launched in 2004, DOUBLEtruck is dedicated to promoting outstanding photojournalism and showcasing high-impact photography of important world issues. The magazine’s title refers to an ad or editorial project that covers two facing pages.
“The magazine was inspired by the photojournalism renaissance in 2003, when major magazines around the globe ran amazing picture content of the Iraq conflict over numerous two-page spreads,” said Mc Kiernan. "Each image featured in the magazine tells the story as only a strong single image can.” For more information, visit doubletruckmagazine.com.

Why are we in this hand basket, and where the heck are we going!?
Yes, its the season to take a look at trends in technology, startups and investing across the complete spectrum- Next Generation, Internet, Clean Tech, Life Sciences, Technology & Media- and peer as far as we can into the future to forecast what might be coming down the pike towards us.
Our illustrious panel of seers and sages will be polishing their crystal balls to give their best interpretations of what they see for 2012, including:
- Which technologies and business models are going to be hot - or not! - in 2012
- Wheres the best place for startups to find top talent?
- Whats the deal with Super Angels? Are they still trying to put too much money into startups, funding 30 variations of the same theme & driving up valuations? Should you dive in, or stand well back, and how is this going to play out?
- Clean Tech - one quarter its the number 1 sector for venture capital, the next its down in the dumps! Are we on a long term roller coaster, or are things going to smooth out?
- Life Sciences - were hearing rumors that startups prefer to launch products in other countries, as its just too much hassle to deal with the FDA. What does this mean for LS startups in Silicon Valley?
Agenda:
6:00 pm - 7:00 pm Networking and hors doeuvres
7:00 pm - 8:15 pm Panel discussion and Q&A
8:15 pm - 8:30 pm Additional networking

Description
How do we find and keep love? Explore the science of relationships and attachment theory with psychiatrist-neuroscientist duo Amir Levine and Rachel Heller. Enjoy a fun, sassy and fantastic evening complete with passion fruit tea, heart-shaped sweets and advice on building stronger, more fulfilling connections with the people you love.
Central to attachment theory is the notion that each of us has an attachment style (i.e., a particular way of behaving in relationships) that falls into one of three categories: Secure, Anxious or Avoidant. Contrary to what many relationship experts today may tell us about the importance of remaining emotionally "self-sufficient," attachment research shows us that our need to be close to our partner is essential. That, in fact, we cant live without it.
Levine and Heller will guide the audience in determining what attachment style they and their mate-or potential mate-follow and will offer a road map, starting from the first date, for building stronger, more fulfilling connections with the people they love.
"A groundbreaking book that redefines what it means to be in a relationship."
