The Modesto Area Partners in Science (MAPS) lecture series has operated since 1990 to foster science education in our community for youths through adults. Once a month during the academic year, MAPS offers stimulating free science programming, bringing educators and local citizens into contact with scientists and mind-expanding ideas.
All Presentations are FREE and open to the public will be held LIVE in the MJC West Campus Sierra Hall 132 at 7:30 pm (*unless noted). Sign up below to get an email reminders for the next event and subscribe to the GVM YouTube channel.

Modern and ancient sharks pique our imagination, but we often only hear about white sharks or megalodon as apex predators. What can chemistry reveal about these iconic sharks and the impact of the past "experiments" in climate change on shark survival?
In this talk, Dr. Douglas Wesier will discuss his research on the UPR, where he uses zebrafish as a genetic model for studying stress-induced apoptosis. He will also share the implications of this research on the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
Learn about the different fields of science in this highly acclaimed extreme science show! Hagerman will lead the audience on a wild journey that is fun for all ages. Prepare to laugh and learn at the same time.
