U.S. Department of State diplomat in residence Dorothy Ngutter will speak to us about Foreign Service careers and diplomacy.

The talk is part of the Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture Series at Foothill College, now in its 19th year.

What would it have been like to be an eyewitness to the Big Bang? In 2014, astronomers using the powerful BICEP2 telescope at the South Pole thought they’d glimpsed evidence of the period of cosmic inflation at the beginning of time. Millions around the world tuned in to the announcement, and Nobel whispers spread like wildfire. But had these scientists been deceived by a galactic mirage? In this popular-level talk, cosmologist Brian Keating tells the inside story of BICEP2’s detection and the ensuing scientific drama. He provocatively argues that the Nobel Prize actually hampers scientific progress by encouraging speed and competition while punishing inclusivity, collaboration, and bold innovation.

Dr. Keating will autograph copies of his popular book, Losing the Nobel Prize: A Story of Cosmology, Ambition, and the Perils of Science’s Highest Honor, after the talk. Copies will be for sale.

Brian Keating is a cosmologist at the University of California San Diego and Principal Investigator of the Simons Observatory collaboration in Chile.. He is the author of more than 100 scientific publications and two U.S. patents. He was a post-doctoral fellow at Stanford and Caltech, and received a 2007 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers for his role in inventing the BICEP telescope. Keating is a commercial pilot with multi-engine, instrument ratings and is a Trustee of the San Diego Air & Space Museum.

Foothill College is just off the El Monte Road exit from Freeway 280 in Los Altos.

Starting her post-high school educational journey at Fresno Community College, Professor Nicole Gonzales Howell went to earn her BA at the University of Southern California. After a 10-year hiatus from higher education, Howell received her MA from California State University Fresno and earned her Ph. D. from Syracuse University in Composition and Cultural Rhetoric.

In 2014, Howell was selected as one of the Ethnic Minority Dissertation Fellows at the University of San Francisco (now the Gerardo Marin Dissertation Fellows). Prior to her time as a dissertation fellow at USF, Nicole taught a variety of writing courses ranging from first-year composition to upper division courses for writing majors.

In addition to teaching, Howell has also been a writing center consultant and graduate editor for Syracuse University. Much of Nicole's research focused on the importance of considering social location (race, gender, class, ability, and sexuality) of both students and teachers and how it relates to many aspects of writing instruction, teacher effect, program administration, and in particular writing assessment. Nicole's current projects are focused on creating accessible teaching practices from k-12 to graduate study.

Student and parents can get one on one assistance in completing their 2018-2019 or 2019-2020 (FAFSA) Free Application for Federal Student Aid or (CADAA) California Dream Act Application by members of the Financial Aid Office.

What to Bring:

Before you begin your FAFSA application both the student and the parent must create their (FSA ID) Federal Student Aid ID. This ID will be used to log into and electronically sign your application. To create your FSA ID you must have a valid social security number. Students and parents will need to go to fsaid.ed.gov and follow the instructions provided. As a best practice make sure that both you and your parent have your FSA ID ready before attending the workshop so that we may use the time to help you complete your application.

· If your parent does not have a social security number (SSN) they will not have the option to create an FSA ID. Instead of signing your application electronically at the end of the student's application they will need to print the parent signature page, provide a handwritten signature and mail it to the address listed on the form.
