Staycation Steve: Reliving the history of Raton
RATON, N.M. – The City of Raton is a lot more than the last stop before heading north to Colorado. It’s a city full of history.
The Raton Museum is full of artifacts that include bones, fossils, safes and even switchboards. Pictures on the wall give a glimpse back in time.
We have 40 of those pictures on the wall of early Raton, said Roger Sanchez, director of the Raton Museum.

Each picture tells a different story. One picture shows a mighty locomotive, another features a dapper man and his mustache, while another shows a building that’s still being used.
The historic Shuler Theater sits in downtown Raton.
The first production on the Shuler stage was in 1915.
Bill Fegan manages the building. He says the storied stage still gets a lot of use.
We have something that played Popejoy the night before and the Popejoy ticket was like $50, $60, $70, Fegan said. “The next night they're here on their way to Denver or Colorado Springs and the ticket is $20.
The Shuler Theater is the crown jewel of Raton's theater row. Next door, at the El Raton Theater, people will find stars of the silver screen.
Co-owner Kerry Medina says the castle facade has been there from the very beginning.
They wanted you to have the feeling that you were outside watching a movie, Medina said.
At one point, the El Raton and the Shuler weren't the only theaters in Raton. A former theater now has new life as Raton's newest watering hole.
Karen Sterns and her husband Jim own the Colfax Ale Cellar and they make quite a few beers on site.
Our golden ale is called Rabbit Chaser and that was named after one of our dogs who loved to chase rabbits, Sterns said. “We have Goat Hill IPA, so Goat Hill is the hill that kind of oversees Raton and it's a great overlook of Raton.

Emma Teeling: The secret of the bat genome
In Western society, bats are often characterized as creepy, even evil. Zoologist Emma Teeling encourages us to rethink our attitude toward bats, whose unique and fascinating biology gives us insight into our own genetic makeup. (Filmed at TEDxDublin.)
TEDxDublin was hosted by Science Gallery at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre on September 8th, 2012.
Dr. Emma Teeling is a leading international scientist in the cross-cutting fields of mammalian phylogenetics and comparative genomics, with particular expertise in bat biology. She is the Director of the Centre for Irish Bat Research (2008), a research team leader and a tenured Lecturer at University College Dublin. She has published over 50 internationally peer-reviewed papers, many in the top-ranking journals Science and Nature. Currently she is the recipient of a prestigious European Research Council Starting Grant (2012) and was the recipient of a Science Foundation Ireland, President of Ireland Young Researcher Award (2006). Her integrative research in the fields of comparative genomics and conservation biology uncovers the genetic signatures of survival that enables species to adapt to an ever-changing environment. The two mains goals of her research are: (1) study unique model species to enable a better understanding of the structure and function of the human genome to better inform medicine and molecular biology; (2) understand and therefore conserve, natural populations and environments to promote ecosystem well-being and functioning. Her integrative science stems from a multi-disciplinary education and research career. She received a Ph.D. in molecular phylogenetics at Queen's University, Belfast and the University of California, Riverside, USA (1997-2001). Excited by the potential of using evolutionary unique animals to enhance man's understanding of his own genome, Dr. Teeling completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the National Institutes of Health, Maryland USA (2002-2005). She returned to Ireland in 2005 to establish her integrative research group at UCD. More information is available at batlab.ucd.ie.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
