  • April 8: 2025 Lecture Series: Aomawa Shields at NHMU, 7:00 p.m. at Natural History Museum of Utah, 301 Wakara Way, SLC. "Dr. Shields searches for clues of another planet where life might exist. Drawing from her background in astrobiology, she models the possible climates of distant exoplanets. In this fascinating talk that brings audiences into her research process, she shows how she uses computer-generated climate models to explore contradictions and to calculate the kind of atmosphere a planet would need to have a suitable climate for water and life. This event is free to attend with registration."

  • ABOUT: "At Switchpoint Coffee Co., our journey began with a simple cup of coffee and a profound commitment to breaking the cycle of poverty. In a world where compassion endures, we fervently advocate that no one should be left without shelter. That’s why we dedicate 100% of the proceeds from your purchase of our coffee beans to end poverty. Our mission is clear: More cups of coffee equal less homelessness in our communities and we’re making it happen! We envisioned a line of coffee that would generate the profits needed to disrupt the cycle of poverty and homelessness, and today, that vision is a reality! We have provided 366 permanent housing units, offering a home to 515 people, with more on the horizon in 2024. Join us in sipping for change and making a positive impact one cup at a time."
