Starting Point: Thorndike Field Park parking lot (free parking) at 99 Margaret St, Arlington, just 0.2 miles from MBTA Alewife Station (Red Line).

Ride Details: The group will decide whether our destination will be Bedford’s Depot Park (20 miles round trip) or Lexington Common (12 miles round trip) on the paved Minuteman Bikeway. 
Pace: relaxed, ~12–14 mph.

Destination: Bedford’s Depot Park (20 miles round trip) or Lexington Common (12 miles round trip)—the group will decide. The entire ride will be on the Minuteman Bikeway at about 12–14 mph.

When: Thursdays, at 10 AM. We’ll return by approximately 11:30 AM to noon.

Indulgences: If there's interest, we’ll stop at Kickstand Café in Arlington on our way back.

Ride Status Updates: Ride status will be posted on Thursday morning, no later than 8:30 AM, at https://ihaveanidea.us/cyclemitcob/.
The event will be canceled if the organizer is unable to attend, the 10 AM forecast for Cambridge predicts a temperature <43° or probability of rain >25%.

The Coming Wave
Join fellow MIT alumni for a virtual discussion of the book The Coming Wave: Technology, Power, and the Twenty-first Century's Greatest Dilemma  by Mustafa Suleyman on Tuesday, June 17, at 7PM.

A warning of the unprecedented risks that AI and other fast-developing technologies pose to global order, and how we might contain them while we have the chance—from a co-founder of the pioneering artificial intelligence company DeepMind and current CEO of Microsoft AI.

Soon you will live surrounded by AIs. They will organize your life, operate your business, and run core government services. You will live in a world of DNA printers and quantum computers, engineered pathogens and autonomous weapons, robot assistants and abundant energy. 
 
 As co-founder of the pioneering AI company DeepMind, part of Google, Mustafa Suleyman has been at the center of this revolution. The coming decade, he argues, will be defined by this wave of powerful, fast-proliferating new technologies. 
 
In The Coming Wave, Suleyman shows how these forces will create immense prosperity but also threaten the nation-state, the foundation of global order. As our fragile governments sleepwalk into disaster, we face an existential dilemma: unprecedented harms on one side, the threat of overbearing surveillance on the other. 
 
How do we ensure the flourishing of humankind? How do we maintain control? How do we navigate the narrow path to a successful future? Suleyman establishes “the containment problem”—the task of maintaining control over powerful technologies—as the essential challenge of our age.

The Minuteman Library network in the Boston area has many copies of this book, but it is very popular.  You may have to put your name on a waiting list.   BookFinder.com is a great resource for finding gently used, less expensive copies of this book.

**Please read this book in advance of the discussion** 


A Zoom link will be provided by e-mail to those registered.

Book Club: The Disappearing Spoon by Sam Kean

  • Online

Club of Boston

Wednesday, July 23, 7:00pm - 8:30pm (America/New_York)

More Info & RSVP

Event Details


Join fellow MIT alumni for a virtual discussion of the book The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements  by Sam Kean on Wednesday July 23, at 7PM.

Why did Gandhi hate iodine (I, 53)? How did radium (Ra, 88) nearly ruin Marie Curie's reputation? And why is gallium (Ga, 31) the go-to element for laboratory pranksters?
Strontium, Molybdenum, Ruthenium, Francium, Ytterbium. Neptunium, Berkelium, Californium, Lawrencium. What are you all about? How were you discovered? Why are you so important? And why the heck are you so rare?
 
The Periodic Table is a treasure trove of adventure, betrayal, and obsession. These fascinating tales follow every element on the table as they play out their parts in human history, and in the lives of the (frequently) mad scientists who discovered them.
 
The book catalogues the 200 year history of the piecemeal development of the periodic table in chemistry. Wait, this is not your high school (or MIT) chemistry class! Sam Kean uses the most idiosyncratic, unusual, serendipitous, and funny events to tell this story. You learn as much about the brilliant, boisterous, bi-polar, bastardly, and braggadocio scientists as you learn about each element on the periodic table. Each of 19 chapters pulls together several periodic elements and outlines their unexpected similarity and relatedness--atomically, quantumly and culturally. And the narrative moves fluidly back and forth through time to capture the relevant history of each element. The book highlights discoveries that are still being made, current as of late 2009.
 
The Minuteman Library network in the Boston area has many copies of this book available.  If you prefer your own copy,  BookFinder.com is a great resource for finding gently used, less expensive copies of this book.
