A Path Forward: the shifting landscape of immigration reformhttp://kpcc.ticketleap.com/shifting-immigration-reform/dates/May-22-2013_at_0630PM2013-05-22T18:30:00-07:002013-05-22T19:30:00-07:00It's a critical time for immigration reform in this country. Washington is getting set to make major changes, the likes of which haven't been seen since the 1980's under President Ronald Reagan. The issues affect families every day, alter economies for years and touch every aspect of American life. We are, after all, a nation of immigrants. Who has the power to shape this new legislation? How will problems of border security, visas, cultural differences, family unification and more be solved? Why are lawmakers keen to enact change now? Has there been a paradigm shift? AirTalk invites stakeholders and audience members to this timely discussion, sponsored by Community Advocates, Inc.

LOVE FREE OR DIEhttp://kpcc.ticketleap.com/love-free-or-die/dates/Jun-05-2013_at_0700PM2013-06-05T19:00:00-07:002013-06-05T21:15:00-07:00Love Free or Die is about Gene Robinson - the first openly gay person to be elected in the high church traditions of Christendom - whose two defining passions much of the world cannot reconcile: his love for God and for his partner Mark.
Following Gene's 2003 civil union in New Hampshire; the once-a-decade global Anglican bishops' gathering in Canterbury; and the biennial gathering of the Episcopal Church in American, the film provides a glimpse into the inner workings of this moment of change from Robinson's perspective. Love Free or Die is about church and state, love and marriage, faith and identity — and one man's struggle to dispel the notion that God's love has limits.

The 24 Hour Project/Workshop - A New World of Social Photographyhttp://kpcc.ticketleap.com/24-hour-projectworkshop-kpcc/dates/Jun-09-2013_at_0130PM2013-06-09T13:30:00-07:002013-06-09T17:00:00-07:00The 24 Hour Project is the world's largest collective street photography experiment. On March 23, a select group of 50 photographers fanned out across 43 cities globally. They were tasked to take photos of city life for 24 hours straight and post their best from each hour to Instagram with the hashtag #24HR13. As they went through the day, hundreds more joined them in cities around the world.
Now, The 24 Hour Project is coming to KPCC. Eight photographers will join us to talk about making images with everything from a mobile phone to a film camera on the streets of the cities where they live.
The 24 Hour Project/Workshop is about learning how to take better pictures and meeting other photographers. Mobile phones have created a new world of social photography where images bounce around the globe instantly. Sharing and participating is the foundation of this new world.
We'll discuss how to use your mobile phone or any camera to take better pictures. We'll explore street photography strategies. We'll talk about how to choose the perfect picture to share with the world and how to make that picture look its best. Then, we'll touch on new and evolving ways to share your photos with the world.
There will be three sessions in the afternoon with time for mingling in between. Once we're all wrapped up, you can hop on the train to Downtown Los Angeles with us and shoot until the sun disappears.

Zoobiquity: The Astonishing Connection Between Human and Animal Healthhttp://kpcc.ticketleap.com/zoobiquity-human-animal-health/dates/Jun-26-2013_at_0700PM2013-06-26T19:00:00-07:002013-06-26T20:30:00-07:00Heart failure, diabetes, breast cancer, obesity, fainting spells, depression… these serious health issues face doctors and their patients everyday… whether the patient is a human or a horse, a panda, a cheetah, a dolphin, an elephant. When cardiologist Barbara Natterson-Horowitz found during a consultation at the Los Angeles Zoo that a monkey experienced the same symptoms of heart failure as her human patients, she started on a path that significantly changed how she practiced medicine. She began researching to see if every condition she found in humans happened with animals, too. And usually, it did. According to Dr. Natterson-Horowitz’s findings, dinosaurs suffered from brain cancer, koalas can catch Chlamydia, jaguars develop breast cancer, dolphins can suffer from diabetes, stallions suffer from sexual dysfunction, dogs have PTSD, gorillas experience clinical depression - the list doesn’t stop there.
She started asking the question - can we better understand human health and illness if we learn from veterinarians and the animals they treat? Dr. Natterson-Horowitz thinks the answer is yes, and she brings to the human bedside this species-spanning approach from veterinary and evolutionary medicine. Zoobiquity is the name she and science writer Kathryn Bowers have given to this pan-species approach, a method that uses key connections between animals and humans to diagnose and treat patients of all species. Learn more about Zoobiquity from Dr. Natterson-Horowitz and Ms. Bowers as KPCC’s Sanden Totten welcomes them to the Crawford Family Forum on Wednesday, June 26. Do you think your problems are uniquely human? Think again.
Moderator:
Sanden Totten, KPCC’s reporter on all things science
Guests:
Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, M.D.: co-author, Zoobiquity; cardiac consultant for the Los Angeles Zoo; member of the Zoo’s Medical Advisory Board; Director of Imaging at the UCLA Cardiac Arrhythmia Center; professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, where she lectures about cardiovascular physiology.
