Dr. Glenn Starkman is a professor of physics and astron-omy and director of the Center for Education and Research in Cosmology and Astrophysics at Case Western Reserve Univer-sity in Cleveland, Ohio. He also directs the Institute for the Sci-ence of Origins, a partnership of CWRU, the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, and ideas-tream, Northeast Ohio’s public media umbrella organization. An alumnus of the Uni-versity of Toronto, Canada (his native city), Glenn earned a

Ph.D. in Physics from Stanford University. His research career then took him to the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, once home to Albert Einstein, and then to a joint position with the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics and the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research, before bringing him to Case Western Reserve University. Glenn’s research has extended from searching for habit-able planets around other stars to understanding the shape of the universe, from looking for miniature black holes in particle acceler-ators to extending and testing Einstein’s General Theory of Rela-tivity. In 2002 and again in 2012, Glenn spent the year as a visiting scientist at CERN, home of the Large Hadron Collider. In 2003 he was awarded a prestigious Guggenheim Fellow-ship, which he held in conjunction with the inaugural Beecroft Fellowship at Oxford University. In 2008 Glenn and colleagues founded the Institute for the Science of Origins to initiate and conduct scientific research on the origin and evolution of systems, simple and complex, natural and human, and the applications of that knowledge, to educate students about that science, and to increase public understand-ing of science. Glenn is dedicated to advancing the role of research universi-ties in education at all levels. He was among the founding board members of the Reinvention Center, a national center focused on undergraduate education at research universities.

Dr. Patricia Princehouse is director of the Evolution-ary Biology Program at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. She also heads up America’s first un-dergraduate major in Origins Sciences and is outreach di-rector for the Institute for the Science of Origins, a partner-ship of CWRU, the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, and ideastream, Northeast Ohio’s public media umbrella organization. With a master’s in biolog-

ical anthropology from Yale University and Ph.D. from Harvard University, Patricia returned her home state of Ohio, accepting a position at Case Western Reserve University and has remained there ever since. Her research interests range from natural selection at the micro level to macroevolutionary phenome-na such as mass extinction, the formation of new species and higher groups and the emergence of evolutionary novelties. Her interests also include the world of “artificial life” or digital organ-isms, which mutate and evolve in a virtual world competing for CPU space and demonstrate many parallels with the evolution of flesh and blood organisms. She has won numerous teaching awards, the Hefner First Amendment Award, and, for her work safeguarding the integrity of public school science education in Ohio, she was awarded the Friend of Darwin Award from the National Center for Science Education. Outside the university setting, Dr. Princehouse’s primary hobby concerns many of the same biological phenomena as her professional work. She has raised sheep, goats and horses, and breeds purebred Pyrenean Shepherds and Great Pyrenees for practical farm work as well as showdogs and for competition performance events such as canine agility, flyball and herding. Dogs of her breeding have won some of the highest honors in dog sports, including Best in Shows, National Agility Champion-ships, and World Agility Champion 2011.

About the InstituteThe Institute for the Science of Origins (ISO) is a collabora-tive team of faculty members and researchers from diverse scientific disciplines seeking to understand how complex systems emerge and evolve, from the universe to the mind, from microbes to humanity. Through interdisciplinary teams and cross-departmen-tal programs, the institute works with its partners and the university community to create new knowledge, to prepare the scientists of tomorrow and to educate the public about origins research. The institute was born out of discussions among scientific and administrative leaders at Case Western Reserve Univer-sity and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History (CMNH) on how to advance the understanding and appreciation of the science of origins. In spring 2008, emboldened by the inclusion of origins in the university’s new strategic plan, a

group of faculty and curators de-cided to work toward the creation of an Institute for the Science of Origins (ISO), under the leadership of Glenn Starkman, professor of physics and astronomy, who was appointed by Case Western Reserve University President Barbara Snyder to be director of the Origins Alliance. The ISO now encompasses and brings together researchers in multiple disciplines, departments and centers at both Case Western Reserve University and the CMNH, and is seeding, supporting and planning research and education across a broad spectrum of origins science. The ISO is pleased to have established a partnership with ideastream, the non-profit media organization that includes Cleveland’s public televi-sion and radio stations.

Speakers

Glenn Starkman, Ph.D.

The Standard Model of Particle Physics: From Atoms to QuarksMatter is made out of atoms, but what are atoms made of? Answering that question has taken us from experiments that we can do today in undergraduate teaching laborato-ries to the construction of the Large Hadron Collider in Ge-neva — the largest machine in the world. In the process, scientists have come to understand the Standard Model of particle physics, the single best-tested theory in all of science.

The Standard Model of Particle Physics: Do We Need More?The Standard Model is amazingly successful at describing the interactions of fundamental particles. Once we in-clude in it mass for neutrinos, it gets everything we know about particle physics right. And yet … for decades most particle physicists have believed that the Standard Model is only part of the story — that it has problems that must be fixed. What are those problems? How have physicists thought to fix them? Are we sure they are problems at all?

The State of the Universe ReportThe Universe is big, and getting bigger at an accelerating rate. How big? how fast? How do we know? Join Dr. Stark-man and hear the latest thought on Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation and other phenomena that give us information on the early universe, spacetime expansion, the large scale structure of the universe.

In the Beginning First there was something, then there was much much more. What was that something, and how did it become everything we see in the Universe? Explore these deep questions with Dr. Starkman, reconcile seeming cosmic contradictions, and lay the groundwork for many hours of informal conversation at cocktail parties and over dinner for the rest of the cruise.

So What are These Gravitational Waves, and Why Should I Care About Them?On February 11th 2016 members of the LIGO collabora-tion announced to the world the first direct detection of gravitational waves, generated, they claimed, by a pair of massive black holes spiraling toward one another and then merging over one billion years ago. What’s a gravita-tional wave? Why has it taken us 100 years to see them? And what’s the big deal anyway?

Patricia Princehouse, Ph.D.

Darwin: The Man and his TheoryDarwin’s time in Edinburgh was fraught with emotional upheaval and intellectual exhilaration as on one hand the 16-year-old discovered and named a new species he collected from the sea and on the other he made the mo-mentous decision not to go into medicine as a profession. Join Dr. Princehouse as we explore the surprising ways in which these events led to crucial elements of Darwin’s theory of evolution that endure in science today.

Extreme EvolutionThe polar seas are home to a stunning array of unusual animals with unique adaptations such as icefish whose blood contains an antifreeze solution they make within their bodies. Weird organisms eke out an existence deep within hot springs. How do such quirks, oddities and anomalies evolve? How can the blind process of natural selection produce such successful adaptations?

The Origins of LifeDid life emerge from non-life here on earth? Or was the earth seeded by space traveling organisms from else-where in the universe? How likely is it that life would arise again if we replayed the history of the early earth? Is life a miracle? Or a nearly pre-determined consequence of the conditions under which the earth developed? What does the earth tell us about whether we will find life on other planets?

Human Evolution: the first 500 million years!How are humans related to the rest of the natural world? Come follow the twists and turns animal evolution has taken across the phanerozoic eon to produce the amazing diversity of animal life we find all around us today –includ-ing ourselves!

The Evolution of Domestic AnimalsBreeds of domestic animals are biological vestiges of cul-tural history. Over the past 30,000 years human cultures have knowingly and unwittingly created unique niches which certain species have readily filled –following the same basic evolutionary processes as wild species. Just as we find dwarf elephants and deer on islands, we find small ponies, sheep and dogs on the Shetland isles. Biologists are learning about evolution in natural populations by studying traditional domestic breeds. But these heirloom breeds are rapidly disappearing –which also parallels the disappearance of natural habitats around the globe.

All cruise prices are subject to change until your booking is con-firmed. We will notify you of any price changes, and await your acceptance, before your reservation is considered “booked” and confirmed. You may cancel the booking within 14 days of initial deposit (prior to “Final Payment Date”, which is defined in the “Notes” on the back page), with the $150 pp Non-refundable Booking Service Fee being the only penalty that is assessed. (If Insight Cruises cancels your booking, at any time, we will refund the $150 pp Non-refundable Booking Service Fee.) Within two business days of your booking we’ll send you an email confirmation and shortly thereafter send you an itemized invoice (“DEPOSIT AND FINAL PAYMENT CONFIRMATION”) via mail/post. You must return a signed copy of your DEPOSIT AND FINAL PAYMENT CONFIRMATION form within 30 days of booking or your cruise reservation is subject to cancellation. If you do not return this form by the Final Payment Date, your cruise reservation will automatically be cancelled and cancellation penalties will be assessed. You will be sent reminders via email and by phone before your reservation is cancelled.

Typically passengers will receive cabin assignments upon book-ing but these cabin assignments are subject to change.

All DOUBLE RATES are PER PERSON, based on double oc-cupancy. SINGLE RATES, if available, are capacity controlled by the cruiselines and subject to change or withdrawal (prior to a booking) at any time by the cruiseline. Fourteen days after your deposit has been taken, however, your cruise rate is locked in.

INSTITUTE FOR THE SCIENCE OF ORIGINS (ISO) PROGRAM PRICING. The ISO Program Fee is separate (i.e., unbundled) from the cruise fee. Therefore anyone booked with Insight Cruises who does not wish to participate in the ISO Conference can simply enjoy their cruise during the lectures. Anyone who is booked through Insight Cruises who chooses to “cruise only” is welcome to attend all cocktail parties.

PORT CHARGES, TAXES, FUEL SURCHARGE, and GRATUITIES. Port charges, port security fees, government taxes and fees, and canal tolls are generally broken out as sepa-rate charges on your invoice. The dollar amounts of these fees are provided by the cruise lines when the event is originally set up. However, these fees can go up or down, slightly, after a booking is confirmed. The cruise line reserves the right to collect any increases in these fees in effect at the time of sailing, even if the fare has been already paid in full. Similarly the cruise line reserves the right to impose or pass through fuel surcharges, security surcharges, or similar incidental surcharges.

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE CRUISE & CONFERENCE COSTS. • The specified number of events provided by ISO experts;

please note that listed speakers are confirmed; however, last-minute scheduling conflicts or emergencies can arise. If a speaker cancels, Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) will make every effort to find a replacement speaker. Unfortunately, last-minute speaker cancellations may be impossible to fill. Insight Cruises or CWRU will not refund all or part of the conference and/or cruise fees when we are unable to find a speaker replacement.

• Onboard, at least one “open bar” cocktail party • All meals onboard the cruise except optional meals in

private dining rooms • All cruiselines provide coffee, tea, milk, lemonade, and a

variety of juices for free.

WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED: • U.S. domestic and international airfare from your home

gate-way to/from the ports of embarkation and disembar-kation

• Passport fees, visas, and visa photos as required • Accident/baggage/trip cancellation insurance • Baggage handling and transfers • Shore excursions • Excess baggage charges • Laundry or valet services • Gratuities • Other items not specifically mentioned as included • Most cruiselines charge extra for sodas and

alcoholic beverages

FOREIGN SHIPPING FEES and ADDITIONAL PAYMENT INFORMATION. There is a foreign shipping charge of $65 per foreign residence ($35 per Canadian residence). Payments may be made by check, wire transfer, money order, or major credit card (Visa, Master Card, Discover, Diners Club, or American Ex-press). Checks are to be made payable to Insight Cruises, in U.S. dollars only, and drawn on a U.S. bank. $25 charge for returned checks and $50 for multiple declines to your credit card(s).

IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS. A Passport (valid for six or more months after you return home from your cruise and / or post-cruise trip) is required. Non-U.S. citizens residing in the USA will need valid Alien Registration (green) cards as well. All travel documents such as passports, visas, proof of citizenship, etc., that are required for embarkation, disembarkation at the ports of call, and re-entry into the country of final destina-tion are the responsibility of the passenger. Non-U.S. citizens are asked to check with government agencies, embassies or consulates to determine documentary requirements. You must have any required visas when boarding the vessel. You will be denied boarding without documentation.

IN THE EVENT THAT THE CRUISE OR HOTEL SUPPLIER IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE CONTRACTED SERVICES, INSIGHT CRUISES OR OUR CRUISE OR HOTEL SUPPLIER WILL MAKE REASONABLE SUBSTITUTIONS.

PROGRAM/CONFERENCE CANCELLATIONS and REFUNDS. The ISO Program Fee is subject to the following cancellation penalties: $95 if cancelling six months or more before the date your trip begins (TDYTB); $195 if canceling between six months and the Final Payment Date; and no refund if canceling after the Final Payment Date.

INSIGHT CRUISES’ PRE- and/or POST-CRUISE TRIPS/EX-CURSIONS CANCELLATIONS and REFUNDS. The cancellation penalties for pre- and/or post-cruise trips vary by event and are specified on the webpage that includes the travel details about that excursion. If the penalties are not specified these excursions are subject to the same cancellation penalties as the cruise, specified below.

CRUISE and/or HOTEL CANCELLATIONS, REFUNDS, INSURANCE, CHANGES. Your decision not to participate on the Tour, Cruise, or Event due to State Department warnings, fear of travel, illness, or any other reason will be deemed a cancellation.

Hotel stays and air booked through the cruise line are subject to the same cancellation penalties as the cruise itself. Any cancellation or change of status (or request for a change in status) which relates to your booking must be transmitted, as soon as possible, to Insight Cruises in writing. If you have travel insurance, and there is an unnecessary delay in notifying us of your change in status, your “cancellation date” will be affected and will likely adversely affect your insurance reimbursement. All service fees are non-refundable.

Name changes are permitted (for a $150 fee) up until the Final Payment Deadline. Name changes after the Final Payment Deadline are considered a cancellation and the per-person cancellation fees, below, will be assessed.

Once booked, you are assessed a $150 per person Non-refundable Booking Service Fee. Additional per-person cruise cancellation fees are based on date of receipt of notice to cancel (via in writing or email): • Cancellation within 14 days of booking AND prior to the

Final Payment Date: full refund of your deposit.* • Cancellation more than 14 days after booking and prior to

the Final Payment Date: a $150 Cancellation Processing Fee. • Cancellation on or after Final Payment Date and at least 91

TRIP CANCELLATION & INTERRUPTION INSURANCE. Insight Cruises provides access to this insurance. Trip insurance brochures are included with your initial invoice

A few words about trip insurance — buy it.

When you book an Insight Cruise, we include information about trip insurance with your invoice. You may, of course, independently purchase your own trip insurance.

We’ve never had a guest cancel because they won the lot-tery or had a brilliant stroke of fortune. More often than you would expect, we have had guests cancel because of pre-cruise illnesses, sports injuries, broken bones, death in the family, unexpected surgery, emergency surgery, stolen passports, and general family uproar.

Life does throw curves. Spare yourself financial disap-pointment if your trip must be cancelled or is interrupted.

Look at all your options for trip insurance, and make certain your travel investment is protected.

Notes:• A signed insurance waiver is due in the Insight Cruises of-

fice upon issuance and not later than the Final Payment Date. Your booking is subject to cancellation unless we receive this paperwork.

• If you make changes, additions, or deletions to your booking (purchasing or dropping tours, services, air, cabin upgrades, etc. ) it is the passenger’s sole responsibility to increase or decrease your insurance coverage and/or travel dates.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT AND LIABILITY DISCLAIMER. Insight Cruises acts only as an agent for the respective suppliers by making arrangements for transporta-tion, accommodations, and other services. Neither Insight Cruises, Case Western Reserve University, or Insight Cruises’ partners, co-producers, sponsors, or agents shall be held liable for personal injury, death, property damage or accident, delay, or irregularity arising out of any act or omission of Insight Cruises’ suppliers.

Insight Cruises reserves the right, without penalty, to decline to accept any person as a participant, or to require any participant to withdraw from the event at any time, when such action is determined by Insight Cruises’ staff to be in the best interests of the health, safety, or general welfare of the group or the individual participant, subject only to the requirement that the recoverable portion of the total amount paid that corresponds to the cost of unused services and/or accommodations be refunded, if applicable.

AS A CONDITION OF ACCEPTANCE OF ANY APPLICATION, EACH APPLICANT MUST AGREE TO THE STATEMENT SET FORTH BELOW: The undersigned has read carefully the RESPON-SIBILITY STATEMENT AND LIABILITY DISCLAIMER set forth above, the schedule of activities for this event as set forth on the Insight Cruises webpages, and recognizes and accepts any risk associated with the event and the conditions, including the refund policy, set forth above. The undersigned further acknowledges that there are many risks and uncertainties inherent in any travel, including but not limited to the hazards of various modes of transportation, forces of nature, acts or omissions of foreign gov-ernments, terrorism, war or insurrection, theft, illness, and dam-age to person or property due to the negligent acts or omissions of event staff or others. In consideration of, and as part payment for, the right to participate in the event, the undersigned, on behalf of him or herself, his or her dependents, heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, agrees to release Insight Cruises and its officers, employees and agents, from liability for personal injury, death, property damage or loss suffered by any person in connection with this event, even if caused by the negligence (but not the reckless, willful, or fraudulent conduct) of event staff or other related persons or entities. In addition, by registering for this event, the applicant certifies that he or she is mentally and physically capable of full participation in this tour.

ARBITRATION AND WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. You agree to present any claims against us within ninety (90) days after the Tour ends and to file any suit within one (1) year of the incident, and you acknowledge that this expressly limits the applicable statute of limitations to one (1) year. In lieu of litigation and jury trials, each of which is expressly waived, any dispute concern-ing, relating or referring to this Participation Agreement, the brochure, or any other literature concerning your trip or the Tour shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration in Los Ange-les, California, according to the then existing commercial rules of the American Arbitration Association. Such proceeding will be governed by the substantive law of the State of California. The arbitrator(s) and not any federal, state, or local court or agency shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, conscionability, or formation of this Participant Agreement, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Participant Agree-ment is void or voidable.

AIR TICKETS PURCHASED INDEPENDENTLY OF THE CRUISE. Dates and times that appear on our website are subject to change. Therefore, if you fly in the day the cruise begins, or fly home the day the cruise debarks, you should confirm your flight times with us prior to making your flight reservations. We also urge you to check airline cancellation penalties and change fees before purchasing air tickets since departure times and flights can change. Neither Insight Cruises or Insight Cruises’ partners, co-producers, sponsors, or agents accept liability for cancellation penalties or change fees related to domestic or international airline tickets pur-chased independently in conjunction with Insight Cruises’ events.

AIR ADD-ONS. Airfare from most major cities, worldwide is available from many suppliers, including the cruise line. The cruise line’s air is often a little more expensive than buying it directly, but the advantage is that the cruise line takes responsibility for getting you on the ship and getting you home after the cruise. For mid-winter cruises, when flights are occasionally cancelled, this is an added measure of comfort. If Insight Cruises arranges your air (through the cruise line or with another supplier) we pass on our direct costs to you plus add a $100 per person Air Service Fee. Baggage fees and other charges may be directly assessed by airlines or airports. Be certain to confirm all flights 48 hours prior to departure.

AIR LIABILITY. Insight Cruises accepts no liability for the pur-chase of non-refundable airline tickets to the cruise departure city and return. Baggage and personal effects are at all times the sole responsibility of the participant. (Trip Cancellation and Interruption Insurance typically provides you with an allow-ance to buy replacements for your trip.)

ITINERARY CHANGES. Insight Cruises reserves the right to substitute hotels, if necessary. Please note that extreme weather conditions may force changes to the advertised sailing schedule. The ship’s captain has the authority to change the ship’s schedule. Insight Cruises reserves the right, without penalty, to make changes in the published itinerary whenever, in Insight Cruises’ judgement, conditions warrant, or if Insight Cruises deems it nec-essary for the comfort, convenience, or safety of our participants.

PHOTOGRAPHY. Participants on Insight Cruises may be photo-graphed for educational and promotional purposes.

ACTIVE ELEMENTS, MEDICAL CONDITIONS AND SPECIAL ASSISTANCE. Some of our Tours incorporate active elements such as hiking, climbing or canoeing; you are responsible for familiarizing yourself with the level of activity that will be involved in your Tour. You must disclose in your Participant Information Form (or at such later time when you become aware of such a condition) any existing physical or mental illness, disability, pregnancy, or any other condition which may create a health hazard for yourself or others during the Tour or for which you may require medical attention or special accommodation during the Tour. We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your needs, but you must notify us at the time of booking for a determination of what assistance we can reasonably provide. We regret that we cannot accommo-date you if you have special needs for ordinary daily activities, such as walking and dining. In no instance will our Suppliers or we physically lift or assist you on to or off any vehicles. If we cannot accommodate your special needs, you must be accompanied by a companion who will be responsible for independently providing the needed assistance.

By registering for an Insight Cruise, the participant agrees to the responsibility statement and liability disclaimer and the terms and conditions herein.
