SUMMARY:ASRAS Astronomy Forum (March 2025)
DESCRIPTION:Topic: “How to talk to people about Science” \nPresenter: Jim Bader\, RMSC Strasenburgh Planetarium Director \nJim describes his presentation as follows: Amateur astronomy is an extremely rewarding hobby that you can share with anyone and everyone around you. However\, the way we talk about the interesting things we see in the sky can quickly lead others into false truths and contradictions if we aren’t careful. My career is communicating sometimes difficult concepts in a way that everyone can grasp to some extent\, but on occasion the simpler explanation can bite away at the truth in it all. Although it sometimes may feel self-deprecating\, gracefully pointing out the beauty in our lack of understanding can give friends and family a window into the reality and wonder of science and astronomy that a mere fact might often overlook.” \nAs with most Forums\, it will be geared towards a beginning or less experienced audience. All are welcome to attend. Contact Craig Kaplan (ckaplan0951@gmail.com) for zoom link.

SUMMARY:April Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:In-person at RIT Carlson Building Room 1125 (simulcast on zoom) \nCome as early as 7 pm to socialize. \nSpeaker: Jitrapon Lertprasertpong\, RIT Ph.D. Student \nTopic: “Galaxy Formation and Evolution”  – several topics related to galaxy evolution and the death of galaxies. \nJitrapon Lertprasertpong is a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the Astrophysical Sciences and Technology Program at the Rochester Institute of Technology. He is currently working with Dr. Jeyhan Kartaltepe to investigate how the local environment influences galaxy properties\, including star formation rates and AGN activities. Throughout his academic journey\, from undergraduate to graduate studies\, he has been involved in various astronomy research\, including The Coincidence Analysis of Neutrino Events from KamLAND and IceCube (2020-2021)\, The Study of the Galactic Bulge Models for Determining JASMINE’s Precision (2020-2021)\, and The Study of Environmental Quenching of Galaxies in CANDELS Fields (2021-Present). He also has hands-on experience in observational astronomy\, having collected data using the Keck Telescope in Hawaii\, and is proficient in using various data analysis tools for his research.
