Penrose Conference Report - Monday afternoon

[@mettenna2635]

So glad to hear such a positive report about the conference. May the collegiality expressed carry well beyond the closed doors of the Penrose.

My friend is a DNA/PCR research scientist and I'm always stunned by the extent to which academics end up hoarding information and ignoring public interest/discourse. I know you're busy, but I think people receiving institutional support should be obliged to acquire skills that allow them to disseminate their work to laypeople, routinely, as part of their training. What's the point of developing information, statistics, mapping, narratives etc if only 23 people in the whole world know about it? The process of collaborative debate and onboarding data into contentious models should be public; it would build trust in how scientific models are arrived at, and counter conspiracy theory bullshit. As demonstrated in your series, laypeople can follow your narratives and even have stuff to contribute too. Thanks again Nick for realising this as deeply as you have and prodding your colleagues to share more effectively.

[@nohandle257]

'They' are listening. Nick has been given a prestigious award for his work involving the public.

[@briankennett9037]

Nick you're a legend. Hello from Southern B.C. Huge erratic sitting in Aldergrove Park. Canada 🇨🇦 Baja B.C. was so interesting!

Nick, thank you for taking the time to provide us with this summary to date! I know you will, but try not to worry about the little glitches in the stream, your message and reporting are coming through 5x5! I'm happy for you, your diligence and care for the science of Geology is really showing signs of positive impact in the formal Geology profession, awesome! One idea for you: see if you can schedule a follow up stream with some of the folks there a couple weeks after the conference is over. Maybe that will give folks time to process and recover, and then give them an outlet to share what they thought of the overall conference and it's possible future impact on the Baja-BC models. Take care and keep having fun! Love you!

[@bobgrove1832]

Wow, this sounds like a really great conference where a great deal of learning was made available. Now I am off to view the presentation from last winter. Thanks, Nick!!!

[@randallfarmer2340]

You are leading us toward a needed new way of doing science, Nick. I love this stuff! I also love the cabin that you are staying in. Is that cedar on the walls! I wish I could be there and listen in to all these panels and talks.

[@jeffbrooks8024]

Of note..i just looked on the font of all knowledge for the Penrose conference, and its there. The overview is very good. A real wow was to read which organisations are sponsoring it

[@hilmaallen1302]

Hi Nick, lovely too be seeing you and so glad your enjoying the conference and thank you for the update so enjoy your videos.

[@yukigatlin9358]

I'm so glad you are actually enjoying the intellectual communication time at the Penrose, Nick!!😄 I'm also very glad that most of attendees of the Penrose conference, which are geology experties from various backgrounds, are sufficiently communicating and sharing ideas among them moving forward for the geology theme this conference has set out for them to discuss... Keep us posted!💗💫

[@vicf5726]

Nick hi from UK, just a thought on the video, last week I noticed the breeze moving the leaves caused pixelation, then todays (Monday) the rain and light outside of the cabin caused the same effect, also you mentioned in the cabin, the lights were fluorescent, they flicker, in the uk it’s 50hz, I suspect (don’t know) but it may be your cameras auto focus sensitivity, but in all honesty, please don’t stop doing what your doing just roll with it. Very best for the future. And huge thanks.

[@hestheMaster]

Oh to hear some of the expert discussions of this and that involving any new information on all things that were presented! Better than reading a paper on any given subject. Can wait for your allowed filming at Penrose. Great Livestream ! Steve

[@timroar9188]

Thank you for the update. Looking forward to the field trip video.

[@richardlawton1023]

Port Orchard, Wa. Missed it live. Watching it at 8:30 pm.

[@StanDavid-ix6yk]

This is awesome Nick. Congratulations to you and others for facilitating the discussion.

[@mr.morelock]

I think the poor video quality from the house was a compression issue, not a signal issue. All those moving leaves had to be rendered over and over again, so could not be compressed like normal, non-changing background. Ask the video guys about video compression... that'll clear up the confusion.

[@dalehagglund]

This is definitely a possibility. I'm no expert in video compression, but a significant feature of many is identifying unchanged blocks (or blocks that have moved) and the absence of blocks like that really increases bandwidth requirements.

[@williampool3080]

Thank you!

[@jenniferlevine5406]

I am watching the playback and it was 95% perfect. Such beautiful place for a conference! Glad that it has been so rewarding to you as it seems from what you say. Thank you for taking time out for an update - very interesting. Good luck for the next few days going to plan!

[@lizj5740]

Thank you for the insights--as best you felt you could tell us about them. Gosh, I think you're having a GOOD time.

[@sandythixton4611]

Wow, Nick! So glad that all your broadcasts are making a difference. I was sure that it would.

[@Dyan_Eckert]

Would love to be sitting in on this conference, so many great people!

[@rockwestfahl]

Watching in replay on Tuesday, August 22 and I think itwas great.

[@jimlamont8001]

Love your channel. From SLC, UT here. I looked for a lecture you may have posted on KZbin about the Great Basin and could not find one. I know that you are a scholar and this isn’t a request line, but if I see that video one day I will be very happy. Sincerely, John Stockton. 😂

[@vesseldocumentationservice7448]

Really enjoy your programs!

[@richardmourdock2719]

Great stuff.. a shame that the GSA won't allow a live broadcast....

[@spddiesel]

9:22 they misspelled Ned Zinger...

[@Siletzia]

It would be interesting to watch interview with a geologist or two from Mexico to learn about their perspective on all of this.

[@KSparks80]

Thanks, Nick. Awesome as always! What a weekend for a hurricane/storm to travel up through Baja, SoCal, Idaho, and into BC, huh? (Twilight Zone theme now playing in my head. lol).

[@DarcyRyder2010]

I dont think moving the camera is the main problem. At the start and at the end, it worked fine. It might be mainly the rain interference?

[@magicdinsmore3107]

Damn this is exciting! Even got some goosebumps. I love all of it NIck; the ice age floods, where the Rockies came from, and even some of the more mundane stuff.

[@jeanzimmermann6691]

I've been to McCall, Idaho. Beautiful area. I now have kids living in Payette, Idaho!

[@paulproctor5555]

Thanks for sharing this update⚒️

[@markbrideau588]

Great to hear from you.

[@sandythixton4611]

Gee, Nick. We need a couple of follow up series to add to the new information that has come to light to the Baja B.C story. .

[@cdineaglecollapsecenter4672]

Thanks for the report! This is so cool. Hope they talk about the Southern Rockies.

[@fredheppner9222]

Video clarity and audio much better

[@jimfields3263]

Beautiful camp!!!

[@markbrideau588]

Video seemed to improve with the cabin door closed

[@_MikeJon_]

Audio and video is great.

[@hilmaallen1302]

I believe what messes up the Focus of the camera is the atmosphere and not you moving around.

[@runninonempty820]

Thanks for the update. Hope Basil's voice gets better.

[@johnnash5118]

If baja was rotated/conveyed via continental conveyance WSW to its present @30 deg. N. latitude from its @90MA 40 deg. N. latitude, wouldn’t the paleomag findings be from @10 deg. latitude further South, @Jalisco, MX.?

[@DonnaCsuti-ji2dd]

Yep see you and hear you

[@carladelagnomes]

That's wonderful! We need all those geo-specialists inputting from their knowledge and experience. There will be something said by someone that will click for someone else. And all will be able to put it together.

[@SCW1060]

I sure wish that the conference was live streamed so all of us addicted to geology could get pur fix too But thanks Nick and tell Basil that Hes doing an awesome job

[@kylecarmichael5890]

I'm, just sad I didn't realize this was happening and the meeting of the Zentnerds met.

[@carladelagnomes]

Wow! Send some of that rain to SW Oregon Nick!

[@52komatsu]

How could they not be watching.

[@ThomasEckhardt]

Nick, you are a born diplomat, must be the Swiss genes in you!

[@AD-kr1lo]

Where hid all those boulders come from on the east side of hwy 97 just south of Pateros???

[@jeffbrooks8024]

Poster idea is great. Attempt to get everyone on the same page about underlying reseRch methodology. Aka the detected undercurrent last year between paleomag and zircon dating versus old school geology

[@tim9s]

How was the Reno conference?

[@sandythixton4611]

When will you be posting the Zentnerds guide?

[@crownhouse2466]

The guide is already posted. Its in the show notes of the friday show. Looks great!

[@66kbm]

No Chalkboards? OK, nice breakdown and oversight/report. Thank you. One thing made me laugh. The Film "Wayne's World" 1992, showing your "pass" for the event reminded me of both Wayne and Garth showing their backstage passes with prowess for the Alice cooper concert in the film. As usual sir, keep up the good work, the World is still watching you. Additional again. Flat Slab/Rocky Mountains. They all still agree? That means that they will not change their ideas.,Karin Sigloch & Mitch Mihalynuk i hope i spelled that correct, They have proved this wrong due to "something" Tomography.. So why does this "Flat Slab" idea still exist when there is now no proven evidence for it?

[@robtippin9111]

😎

[@scottsyme7878]

I see in your future .....more open honest communication with ..experts...75 of them..maybe...without you wondering about broadcast technology......so you can read more papers....write more papers...live your private life.....chalkboards rule.....love your vibe.....

[@tomjensen618]

You're just fine nick!

A few ideas…

[@williamosmith8162]

ok Nick, a bunch of background moving overwhelms the data stream. you are in a room with static background. the tech doesn't know what matters.

[@sandythixton4611]

Better than last time

[@davec9244]

"ONE TIME AT BAND CAMP" you can learn all about rocks and things. Thank you ALL stay safe

Sounds better.

Nick I would like to know, How non-Baja BC theorist reconcile the Paleo Mag data. I understand that Paleo Mag is inconsistent with their pet theories but if they believe and utilize Paleo Mag data for other things - they must see the hypocrisy in this- so they should be able to verbalize why the Paleo Mag data is wrong or at least do their own Paleo Mag or analysis of the Paleo Mag to prove it is wrong.

[@MGeofire]

Has anyone detected Baja-B-C on your breath?

[@davec9244]

[@briane173]

It's not everyday you have to fight with a tropical storm in Idaho. Hopefully on its way out it'll lhelp put out some of the fires up here. My daughter and SIL are in Palm Springs and they arrived just in time for Hilary's arrival. They're now landlocked for a couple days.

[@janicemartin1580]

Videos from Coachella Valley are horrendous! i lived there for 23 years so have been glued to KZbin. This will be a memorable experience for them. Hopefully they will enjoy their vacation regardless and get home safely without too many adventures.

[@briane173]

@@janicemartin1580 So far, so good. Their hotel is three blocks from downtown, 3 blocks from the Forever Marilyn exhibit. They're high & dry -- BUT....they can't take any excursions out of town coz I-10 is closed from Cabazon to Thousand Palms. The bulk of the flooding was on the south side of town -- no surprise there; you've got Taquitz River and Palm Canyon converging at the same channel. But based on what I've seen the rest of town is in pretty good shape.

[@janicemartin1580]

@@briane173 What an adventure for them! I lived in Thousand Palms. Disaster area now. 😩

[@jeffbrooks8024]

Rain interference is called attenuation. It can affect the link between the satellite and the dish. There can also be attenuation between your devices and your router.

[@nohandle257]

Oh my goodness. How did such a freakishly large man ever get any sleep in those dinky little beds?😁

Thank you!
