Through the Looking Glass: A Discussion of the Art of Microscopy
From the earliest rudimentary lenses to the marvels of modern science that are today’s state-of-the-art microscopes, microscopy has revolutionized our understanding of the natural world. Beginning with the Nimrud (Layard) lens, a piece of rock crystal that dates back to the 8th century BC, through modern-day devices like electron microscopes and scanning probe microscopes, we will explore how microscopes have been used and improved over time. Join us on this enlightening voyage through the annals of microscopy as we celebrate the minds and inventions that have shaped our understanding of the micro cosmos, and explore the transformative potential that advanced microscopy holds for the future of scientific discovery. Presented by Dr. Ronald J. Tackett, Associate Professor of Physics - Kettering University.

Holding onto hope when times are tough can take an awful lot of determination, and sometimes, an awful lot of determination comes in a surprisingly small package. Little Orphan Annie has reminded generations of theatergoers that sunshine is always right around the corner, and now the best-loved musical of all time is set to return in a new production – just as you remember it and just when we need it most.Annie, directed by Jenn Thompson, features the iconic book and score, written by Tony Award®-winners Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse, and Martin Charnin. This celebration of family, optimism, and the American spirit remains the ultimate cure for all the hard knocks life throws your way.
