Much of what we experience in our lives each day is entirely forgotten. So what leads our brains to store experiences in memory that help us navigate the world? Perhaps the most important signal is mistake-making. Formal schooling unfortunately conveys the message that becoming more skillful means making fewer mistakes, which is demonstrably untrue. Come and learn how mistakes lead to advantageous changes to our memories and are the key to learning.
Professor Bob Duke is a former studio musician and public school music teacher whose research at UT focuses on human learning and behavior. Along with Art Markman, he co-hosts the NPR program and podcast Two Guys on Your Head, produced by KUT Radio in Austin.
Time: 7:00 – 7:40 p.m.
The event will be streamed live through our Facebook and YouTube channels and will include a Q&A session. Additional information is available at www.hotsciencecooltalks.org.
DeFord Lecture | Courtney SchumacherNovember, 19 2026Time: 3:30 PM - 4:30 PMLocation: JGB 2.324 How Stratiform Rain Shapes Weather, Climate, and the Geological Record by Courtney Schumacher, professor at Texas A&M University |
Bureau of Economic Geology Seminar SeriesNovember, 20 2026Time: 1:00 PM - 2:00 PMLocation: BEG Bldg 130, VR Room 1.116C BEG Seminar presented by Katie Smye, Principal Investigator of the Center for Injection and Seismicity Research, BEG in person and on Zoom. Title: Shallow Injection Capacity in the Permian Basin: Pressure Limits, Legacy Wells, and Leakage Susceptibility Effective water-resource planning requires connecting available water with climate dynamics and sector-specific water demand. This presentation presents application of satellite remote sensing, hydrological modeling, data analytics and machine learning in estimating water availability across scales. Texas applications examine groundwater depletion, drought, TX municipal water-demand projections, and energy generation water use. Continental and global studies benchmark water-availability estimates, develop satellite-based indicators, and integrate GRACE satellite-based observations into hydrological models using machine learning. Daily evapotranspiration mapping further supports assessment of water use and drivers of droughts. Together, these studies demonstrate how complementary observations and modeling approaches can strengthen water-resource assessment and planning.

Reddit AMA ft. Team REASONDecember, 03 2026Time: 9:00 AM - 11:00 AMLocation: UTIG Seminar Conference Room - 10601 Burnet Road, Bldg. 196/ROC 1.603 Join REASON team members Krista Soderlund and Cyril Grima and UTIG planetary scientist Elizabeth Spiers on reddit.com/r/askspace for an \"Ask me anything!\" about their work on the REASON radar. The REASON team invites members of the Jackson School community to join us in the UTIG Seminar Conference Room - 10601 Burnet Road, Bldg. 196/ROC 1.603 during the AMA to ask questions about our work! REASON is an ice-penetrating radar aboard NASA’s flagship Europa Clipper spacecraft on its mission to explore icy ocean habitats on Jupiter’s moon Europa. Developed by UTIG at the Jackson School of Geosciences, REASON is one of nine instruments aboard Europa Clipper and the only one that can look directly into Europa’s miles-thick icy shell. It’s here that researchers hope to map its structure, search for subsurface water pockets, and help determine if the ocean below could support life. During the week of November 30th, Europa Clipper is set to slingshot around Earth for a crucial gravity assist that will help send the spacecraft toward Jupiter. This is the perfect opportunity for us to discuss REASON’s journey from conception and development, to Earth-bound calibration, validation, its trial run on imaging Mars, and its journey to the final frontier. While the full team is comprised of numerous scientists, we have three members available to answer questions about REASON and Clipper:
