Enjoy an evening of dancing and entertainment featuring DJ Rekha and popular stand-up comedy Dan Nainan. The Emcee for the evening is actress Pooja Kumar. Mingle with like-minded professionals, while enjoying cocktails and hors d’oeuvres.

Tickets for the event are $100 - please register here. If you would like more information about Pratham or the event, please contact me.

	Are We Alone?

We are invited to join the MIT Club of NY to hear Sara Seager, Associate Professor of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences at MIT, discuss Extrasolar Planets and the Search for Habitable Worlds at the Hayden Planetarium at the Natural History Museum.

“For thousands of years people have wondered, "Are we alone?" With over 250 exoplanets known to orbit nearby stars, this question has moved from science fiction to mainstream science. Now that their existence is firmly established, a new era of "exoplanet characterization" has begun. A subset of exoplanets—called transiting planets—pass in front of their stars as seen from Earth. Transiting planets have opened a whole new opportunity for exoplanets, because their physical properties, including average density and basic atmospheric properties, can now be routinely measured. The race to find habitable exoplanets has accelerated with the realization that transiting super Earths orbiting small stars can be both discovered and characterized with current technology. These ideas will lead us down a path to the ultimate goal of finding and identifying Earth- twins orbiting sun-like stars.”

There are 15 places for Cambridge in New York members, at $25 per head. Advance registration is required - please register here by May 8th. A photo ID is required to enter.
