Join us for some icy fun at Soldiers Park Outdoor Ice rink. Anyone can come from any skill level or even they don't have their own blades; we will provide them. Bring your friends, children or anybody who is interested, but please register online for us to tally who coming. We will meet at the track to rent our skates if you don't have any. I will be waiting there with a name tag as the Young Professional Chair. More information will be provided below. Email me if you have any questions. I hope to see you there. https://www.rochestermn.gov/departments/parks-and-recreation/parks-trails-recreation-facilities/outdoor-ice-rinks 244 E Soldiers Field Drive SW, Rochester, Minnesota, United States

The annual Science Talk and Movie Night is back for 2025, and if you have interests in science, engineering, special effects, and/or modeling, then you may find this event particularly exciting! We will be hosting a science and engineering talk by Stephen J. Murphy, Ph.D., the director of Mayo Clinic's Genome Analysis Core, that will be followed by a screening of National Geographic's Blink. This event is organized through collaboration with three local organizations (Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Mayo Clinic IEEE Biomedical Engineering and Medicine, and the Mayo Clinic Graduate School) and is open to all in our community with no cost to the attendees. Event details are delineated below: Please fill out this RSVP form to attend this event, and feel free to reach out with any questions. Abstract: 350 million people live with an undiagnosed disease worldwide. Genome sequencing can provide answers for 40% of the People Living With Undiagnosed Disease (PLWUD) but around 60% still don’t receive a diagnosis. The purpose of the Undiagnosed Hackathon is trying to find new ways and collaborations to solve the undiagnosed diseases that can’t be solved today. In this unique event multidisciplinary teams of clinicians, bioinformaticians, molecular biologists, scientists, developers, AI specialists and brilliant minds will work together to tackle the most difficult diseases. The 2025 Undiagnosed Hackathon was hosted by Mayo Clinic. https://wilhelmfoundation.org/undiagnosed-hackathon https://undiagnosedhackathon.org/information Blink When three of their four children are diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a rare and incurable disease that leads to severe visual impairment, the Pelletier family’s world changes forever. In the face of this life-altering news, Edith Lemay, Sébastien Pelletier and their children set out on a trip around the world to experience all its beauty while they still can. As they fill their memories with breathtaking destinations and once-in-a-lifetime encounters, the family’s love, resilience and unshakeable sense of wonder ensure that their uncertain future does not define their present. https://films.nationalgeographic.com/blink A map of where to park, and map of where to enter the building are found at the end of this form.
