SUMMARY:Loot Boxes\, Dragons\, and Where the Game Industry Is Headed
DESCRIPTION:Event Overview\nWhat does it mean to succeed in today’s video game industry\, and what does the road ahead really look like? Join me\, Leo Natanian\, for a casual deep dive into gaming’s future\, drawing on experiences building RiotPay\, launching the cozy MMO Palia\, and leading teams at Skillz. \nI’ll be sharing behind-the-scenes stories about payment systems\, global launches\, regulatory shifts\, and the challenges of scaling both infrastructure and creative vision. Along the way\, I’ll highlight cultural dynamics\, platform politics\, and predictions for where the next wave of innovation may come from. \nExpect bold insights\, lively discussion\, and the chance to connect with other leaders across the gaming community. \n\nKey Topics\n\n\nGood design still wins: Why single-player hits like Elden Ring prove creative vision continues to matter. \n\n\nGlobal games require global awareness: Lessons from compliance\, cultural values\, and international markets. \n\n\nThe medium shapes the message: Why VR might fade like 3D TVs\, and what storytelling means for the next era of games. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\nLeo Natanian is a product and engineering leader with a background spanning AAA games\, monetization platforms\, and emerging studios. At Riot Games\, he served as the technical product lead for RiotPay\, the global payments system behind League of Legends\, Valorant\, and Teamfight Tactics. \nHe later joined Singularity6\, helping launch Palia\, a cozy MMO later acquired by Daybreak (EverQuest). At Skillz\, he worked on the complexities of monetizing mobile games amid platform restrictions. Based in Los Angeles\, Leo remains an active voice in both tech and gaming communities. \n\nWhy Attend\nThis event isn’t just about listening—it’s about connecting.

SUMMARY:Developement of Methods for Peripheral Nerve Regeneration Approchaes
DESCRIPTION:DEVELOPMENT OF METHODS FOR PERIPHERAL NERVE REGENERATION APPROACHES\n👨‍⚕️ Speaker:\nVahan Grigoryan\, M.D. \, orthopaedist-traumatologist\, tissue engineer. 🎓 Alma mater: Yerevan State Medical University (M.D. degree obtained in 2018\, Orthopaedist/Traumatologist narrow specialization degree obtained in 2021). Currently serves as the head of the Department of Science of the University of Traditional Medicine of Armenia\, Ph.D. student and junior researcher at L.A. Orbeli Institute of Physiology NAS RA. Co-Founder of Foldink Corp.\, an Armenian-American 3D bioprinting company founded in 2019. Member of the Board of Trustees of Kochard Foundation. 🏥 Past experience: volunteer of the Armenian Red Cross Society 2013-2021\, 3D modeler in Locator CJSC 2011-2015. \n📄 Summary:\nThe problem of peripheral nervous tissue defects (aka nerve gaps) in nerve ruptures is of considerable scientific interest in modern medicine. Such tissue defects can occur as a result of a number of injuries. If the nerve layers’ continuity is maintained or restored after being severed\, these layers begin to serve as regenerative tunnels for the regenerating axons. Otherwise\, nerve regeneration can become very challenging or virtually impossible. In the absence of a nerve defect or in case of very small defects\, the nerve needs to be sutured end-to-end. In the case of larger defects\, however\, a nerve graft is needed\, and autografting is the golden standard. Yet\, it is associated with problems such as limited donor sites\, the need for additional surgery\, possible scarring\, donor site morbidity\, neuroma formation at the donor site\, as well as the possibility of graft mismatch. In the case of allo- or xenografts\, as it is known\, there is a risk of graft rejection\, thus immunosuppression is needed which poses the patient under substantial infection-related risks. \n📖 Read more about this and other AESA-funded R&D projects:\n🔗 \nLinkedIn\n📝 Registration link:\n🔗 \nDEVELOPMENT OF METHODS FOR PERIPHERAL NERVE REGENERATION APPROACHES · Zoom · Luma

SUMMARY:Celebrating Scientific Excellenece
DESCRIPTION:AESA\, in partnership with the Salmast Heritage Association\, cordially invites you to mark your calendar for an evening dedicated to honoring scientific excellence. \nHonoree\, Dr. Narek Gharibyan serves as the deputy group leader of the Nuclear and Radiochemistry Group at the Laboratory. He has supported experimental nuclear science at the National Ignition Facility including as the responsible scientist for a radiochemical diagnostic fielded during high-yield fusion shots.  Other research interests in nuclear and radiochemistry include isotope production\, chemical separations\, measurements relevant to nuclear reactions and decay properties\, and the application of nuclear science for national security. \n In 2012\, Dr. Gharibyan\, alongside Dawn Shaughnessy and Evgeny Tereshatov\, participated in the confirmation experiment for element 117 at GSI Darmstadt\, Germany.  In this experiment\, the scientists bombarded a berkelium target with calcium ions to produce element 117. Following this independent confirmation experiment\, in 2015\, element 117 was named tennessine with the symbol Ts. \nSpace is Limited\, RSVP is required. \n

SUMMARY:AESA Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day
DESCRIPTION:AESA Closed April 24\, 2024\nOn April 24\, 2024\, our organization will be closed in honor of Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day\, commemorating the lives lost during this tragic event. We stand in solidarity with the Armenian community as we remember and reflect on this solemn occasion. \nA (Brief) History of the American Genocide\nFrom Armenian Genocide: Facts & Timeline – HISTORY \nThe Armenian genocide was the systematic killing and deportation of Armenians by the Turks of the Ottoman Empire. In 1915\, during World War I\, leaders of the Turkish government set in motion a plan to expel and massacre Armenians. By the early 1920s\, when the genocide finally ended\, between 600\,000 and 1.5 million Armenians were dead\, with many more forcibly removed from the country. Today\, most historians call this event a genocide: a premeditated and systematic campaign to exterminate an entire people. In 2021\, U.S. President Joe Bidenissued a declaration that the Ottoman Empire’s slaughter of Armenian civilians was genocide. However\, the Turkish government still does not acknowledge the scope of these events. \nFrom Wikipedia: Armenian genocide – Wikipedia \nThe Armenian genocide was the systematic destruction of the Armenian people and identity in the Ottoman Empire during World War I. Spearheaded by the ruling Committee of Union and Progress (CUP)\, it was implemented primarily through the mass murder of around one million Armenians during death marches to the Syrian Desert and the forced Islamization of others\, primarily women and children. \nJoin AESA to Honor the Memory\nThe Armenian genocide was a horrific atrocity that claimed the lives of up to 1.5 million Armenians. On this solemn day of remembrance\, we invite all those who want to ensure the Armenian genocide is never forgotten to become members of AESA. \nAESA is dedicated to promoting Armenian culture\, raising awareness about the genocide\, and supporting the Armenian-American community. By joining AESA\, you can help us: \n\nProvide educational resources on the history and impact of the genocide\nCelebrate Armenian heritage through the advance of the academic sciences\n\nThe road to healing begins with remembrance. Take a stand against hatred and join AESA today. Together\, we can ensure the Armenian genocide is embedded in our collective consciousness\, honoring the memory of those lost and working to create a more just world.
