Greetings! I thought that some of you might be interested in these
talks, particularly the second one about the Moon and human behavior.
Also, we would greatly appreciate any help in disseminating this
information (below) to interested audiences.

Upcoming MyMoon Webcasts for March
Emily Cook on the MyMoon Street Team
Live Video Webcast
March 13th @ 8pm Eastern Time
http://mymoonspace.com/?p=/p_cook.cfm?
MyMoon's Street Team "Moonbassadors" keep it real. Come chat with Emily,
one such Moonbassador, about her interests and what a Moonbassador does!
MyMoon is looking for self-motivated social media-types, who have at
least looked at the Moon, to be part of the MyMoon Street Team to
promote MyMoon and its events (contests, webcasts, etc.) and to initiate
and facilitate discussions of all things lunar! MyMoon will pay you for
a maximum 5 hours/week at $10/hour. Emily Cook, a new member of the
Street Team, is a junior studying elementary science education, and is
passionate about all things science, especially astronomy.
Dr. Eric Chudler About the Moon and Human Behavior
Live Video Webcast
March 28th @ 8pm Eastern Time
http://mymoonspace.com/p_chudler.cfm
Does the Moon's phase effect violence or crime, depression or psychosis,
the number of patients in emergency rooms, accidents, overdoses, or
animal bites? Come hear what the research says!!
Dr. Chudler is a research neuroscientist interested in how the brain
processes information about pain and nociception. He is currently a
research associate professor at the University of Washington and the
executive director of the Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering.
In addition to performing basic neuroscience research, Eric works with
other neuroscientists and classroom teachers to develop educational
materials about the brain, including a site that examines a tremendous
amount of scientific research on human behavior and the full moon.
MyMoon is an evolving website created for the Net Generation, by the
Lunar and Planetary Institute. We're collaborating with scientists,
engineers, artists, storytellers, and with the public to share
interactive information about the Moon and opportunities to be involved.
Through the website and linked social media, the public is invited to
share their thoughts, creations, and experiences. The website hosts
periodic contests, polls, blogs, exhibits, and live Web-conferenced
presentations. Come join the lunar scientists, lunar artists, and
lunatics! http://mymoonspace.com/
We're grateful (thrilled, in fact) to report that this project is funded
by NASA's Science Mission Directorate.
