Join the Ilan-Lael Foundation for their Pacific Rim Park Picnic on November 22 at Shelter Island Park from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. This free event allows guests to participate in workshops as they reflect on the communities that came together for the Pacific Rim project. There will be free art stations onsite allowing guests to experiment with art and reflect on our coastal home. One of the workshops with clay gives guests a hands-on look at an upcoming exhibit at Oceanside Museum of Art. Shelter Island is home to a public art piece created by the late artist James Hubbell, alongside students from around the globe. The “Pearl of the Pacific” highlights how art and architecture can transcend cultural divides, inspire dialogue, and serve as tools of diplomacy, especially a timely message in a world marked by increasing polarization. Through the Ilan-Lael Foundation, his vision lives on in annual peace walks and ongoing Art Diplomacy initiatives, including the creation of new peace parks worldwide. In spirit of bringing the community together, the picnic will be potluck style. Each guest is encouraged to bring a dish inspired by the diverse countries around the Pacific Rim and can sign up online. Parking at the event is first come first serve and the foundation encourages guests to carpool.

Join us for Ancient DNA: New Revelations, a free CARTA public symposium! Dramatic advances in ancient DNA technologies have revolutionized our understanding of the human past. Since the publication of the first ancient human genomes in 2010, the field of archaeogenomics has grown at an astonishing pace, and today the genomes of more than 10,000 ancient humans have been sequenced. From discovering surprising new members of the human lineage to revealing the unexpected histories of infectious diseases to tracking the great migrations that laid the foundations of present-day societies, ancient DNA is rewriting the human story. This symposium explores the diverse applications of archaeogenomics in shaping not only a new vision of the human past, but also in creating a greater understanding of the present and our shared human future. This symposium is an update to our April 2016 event, Ancient DNA and Human Evolution. Event Details Date: Friday, November 7, 2025 Time: 1 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. (Pacific) Location: Salk Institute & Live Webcast More Information & Registration: https://carta.anthropogeny.org/ This is a public symposium presented by the Center for Academic Research and Training in Anthropogeny.
