Shadows and Light charts a world of dualitie s: dream and reality\, modernism and tradition\, music and silence\, myste ry and revelation. Together\, these works offer a counterpart and counterp oint to the sun-drenched landscapes of contemporary neo-impressionism\, as serting a distinct and rival presence in Belgium.\n\nNew research illumina tes the complex world of Belgian artists at the vanguard of the internatio nal symbolist movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centurie s—a pivotal moment in the development of modern art. Composed of ten “ movements\,” the exhibition unfolds in the galleries as a visual symphon y with artists engaging with vital issues of modern life\, including quest ions of faith\, social justice\, historical identity\, and psychological a nalysis. Building on the historic tradition of Belgian and Flemish art\, t he exhibition demonstrates how these artists’ works are innovative in st yle and personal vision\, significantly expanding the language of art.\n\n Belgian artists represented include: Cécile Cauterman\, William Degouve d e Nuncques\, Léon Frederic\, Fernand Khnopff\, Georges Le Brun\, Xavier M ellery\, Constantin Meunier\, George Minne\, Armand Rassenfosse\, and Léo n Spilliaert. With forty-six works by Spilliaert\, the exhibition seeks to introduce North American audiences to one of Belgium’s most enigmatic a nd celebrated artists. Paintings by Gustave Moreau\, Dante Gabriel Rossett i\, František Kupka\, and Koloman Moser\, as well as works from the McMul len Museum’s collection\, elucidate the rich context of international sy mbolist art\, in which Belgians played a leading role.\n\nShadows and Ligh t is accompanied by a catalogue\, edited by Jeffery Howe\, with contributi ons from American and Belgian scholars Anne Adriaens-Pannier\, Claude Cern uschi\, Edouard Derom\, Alison Hokanson\, Howe\, and Oliver Wunsch\, provi ding contextual background to the time period and the Belgian avant-garde and offering fresh examinations of Fernand Khnopff\, George Minne\, and L éon Spilliaert.\n\nOrganized by the McMullen Museum\, Shadows and Light h as been curated by Jeffery Howe and is underwritten by Boston College with major support from the Patrons of the McMullen Museum and Mary Ann ’67 and Vincent Q.

But des pite being built with noble intentions\, these algorithmic systems have de monstrated a fundamental misalignment with their users' values: resulting in the amplification of low-quality information designed to reward\, hack and sensationalize. In this talk\, I'll discuss new ways to measure and st eer algorithmic systems to align them with users' values. In a first serie s of lab and field experiments in the context of sharing misinformation on social media\, I show that this can be mitigated by steering behavior via reminding people of their own values. In a second project\, I introduce a novel personalization architecture for measuring the expression of basic human values. I will then apply it to a large-scale audit of X's ranking a lgorithm to reveal how subtle value tensions in users' engagement behavior produces a fundamental misalignment between algorithmic amplification and user's self-stated values. To close\, I will discuss ongoing work on alig ning AI systems for collective goals of diversity and autotelicity\, focus ing on the domain of human creativity and creative production.\n\nBio\n\nZ iv Epstein is a computer scientist\, designer\, and computational social s cientist\, and a SERC Postdoctoral Associate at the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing\, where he runs the Medium is the Mess SERC Group.

But t here has been far less attention given to the commodification of land and housing as sites of social reproduction\, in other words\, the spaces of h ome\, neighborhood\, and community through which everyday life is sustaine d. Unlike spaces of production (e.g.\, the workplace)\, it is in communiti es and homes that domestic work\, care work\, and mutual aid take place. B ut the socially reproductive function of these sites is jeopardized by pro cesses of commodification that reshape the city. So\, we ask: what does th e transformation of land and shelter into investible real estate mean for city governance\, urban development\, housing rights movements\, and the l ived experience of city residents? And what are the effects of capitalist processes such as privatization\, financialization\, assetization\, and te chnification/digitalization on spaces of social reproduction? \n\nThis wor kshop will bring together an interdisciplinary group of scholars from MIT — and outside MIT — for the following sessions:\n\n10:00-10:30 | Works hop welcome and introductions\n\n10:30-12:30 | Financialization\, Technifi cation\, and Futurity in Real Estate\, moderated by Jason Jackson and feat uring conversation with Philip Ashton (UIC)\, Desiree Fields (UC Berkeley) \, Huma Gupta (MIT)\, and Rachel Weber (Harvard).\n\n2:00-3:30 | Debt and Transformations in Economic and Urban Governance\, moderated by Erica C.

This question is of central importance to \ninterpr etability\, privacy\, data attribution\, and basic \nscience. At its core is the data deletion problem: \nafter a reasonable amount of precomputatio n\, \nquickly predict how the model would behave if a \ngiven subset of tr aining data had been deleted.\nI will present a data deletion scheme capab le of \npredicting model outputs to arbitrary precision. A \nbound on the error can be derived from a simple \nassumption about the stability of the AI model. In \ncontrast to the assumptions made by prior work\, \nours ap pears to be fully compatible with deep \nlearning. We believe that this me thod opens up a \nrange of new possibilities for theory in AI. For \ninsta nce\, it gives the first ‘machine unlearning’ \nscheme with provable s ecurity in the deep learning \nsetting.\n\n \n\nBased on my recent work “How to sketch a learning \nalgorithm” at https://arxiv.org/pdf/2604.0 7328.\n\n \n\nBiography: Sam is a new CLE Moore Instructor at MIT. He was \nadvised by Umesh Vazirani for his PhD at UC \nBerkeley. He is interested in studying the foundations \nof AI using ideas from cryptography and the oretical \ncomputer science.

Sy naptic efficacy\, electrical coupling\, neuromodulation\, and internal sta te continually reshape which anatomical pathways contribute to ongoing act ivity. The same wiring diagram can therefore support different dynamical r egimes\, while similar population dynamics can arise through different cir cuit routes. The central challenge is to understand how anatomical connect ivity is expressed as functional organization.\n\n \n\nC. elegans makes it possible to examine this problem across an entire nervous system at cellu lar resolution. Its neurons can be identified across animals\, multiple la yers of its connectome have been mapped\, and brain-wide activity can be r ecorded during natural behavior. Using recordings from more than 150 freel y moving animals\, we train cross-animal models to predict each neuron’s activity from the rest of the population and derive cell-class-resolved m aps of conditional functional dependence. We use these maps to ask which r elationships generalize across individuals\, how shared low-dimensional br ain states contribute to apparent interactions\, and where the remaining s tructure aligns with chemical synapses\, gap junctions\, and peptidergic s ignaling. These maps provide a quantitative description of the functional organization reproducibly expressed in whole-brain activity—and of the s elective and imperfect imprint of anatomy upon it.\n\n \n\nThis work estab lishes a baseline against which perturbations can be read: activation and silencing of identified neurons\, manipulation of neuromodulatory systems\ , and mutations in conserved autism-associated synaptic genes can each be used to test how defined changes to circuit components reorganize brain-wi de functional dependencies and behavior.

On August 31\, 1769\, forty-five women in Lexington\, Massachusetts\ , gathered for a spinning protest—one of more than sixty such demonstrat ions held throughout New England between 1768 and 1770. By spinning wool a nd linen yarn together\, these women demonstrated their ability to produce the textiles needed by their families while rejecting reliance on importe d British goods. \nJoin Stacey Fraser for a fascinating look at how women used their social roles\, domestic skills\, and community networks to part icipate in the growing resistance to British rule. Discover how these seem ingly everyday acts of spinning and boycotting became powerful forms of pr otest in the years leading up to the American Revolutionary War. \nAbout t he Speaker:\nStacey Fraser is Assistant Curator at the Scottish Rite Mason ic Museum & Library in Lexington\, Massachusetts. She recently curated an exhibition exploring Lexington’s role in the American Revolution and cha ired the museum’s 50th anniversary committee. Stacey also serves on the advisory board of LexSeeHer\, a Lexington nonprofit dedicated to making wo men visible in history. Previously\, she served as Curator and Outreach Ma nager at Lexington History Museums and as Co-Director and Educator at the Ipswich Museum\, among other New England institutions. \nEntry Included wi th Museum Admission| September 18th | 12:00 PM | Adult Event LAST-MODIFIED:20260913T062509Z LOCATION:Wenham Museum\, 132 Main St.\, Route 1A\, Wenham\, MA\, 01984\, U nited States URL:https://northofboston.org/event/adult-lecture-series-laying-their-hand s-to-the-spindle-womens-spinning-protests-1768-1770/?utm_source=caldiscove ry&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=boston-ma X-SOURCE-NAME:North of Boston X-SOURCE-URL:https://northofboston.org/meetings/essex-county-community-fou ndation END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:CFA Color Garden Kickoff DTSTART:20260918T160000Z DTEND:20260918T170000Z DTSTAMP:20260914T002039Z UID:tag:localist.com\,2008:EventInstance_53954790644420 CATEGORIES:community DESCRIPTION:Boston University College of Fine Arts School of Visual Arts a nd BU Student Wellbeing invite you to a CFA Color Garden Kickoff Meeting t o learn about the Garden and help shape what’s growing this semester!\n\ nThe CFA Color Garden is a student-led project transforming the green spac e next to the College of Fine Arts (855 Commonwealth Ave) into a hub for l earning\, sustainability\, and creative exploration.

Open to members of the phi losophy department. \nTitle: "Towards a Philosophy of Plate Tectonics: Plu ralism in Explanation\, Evidence\, and Classification"\n\nAbstract:\n\nThi s dissertation contributes to the traditionally neglected\, but now rapidl y growing\, field of philosophy of the geosciences by providing a philosop hical analysis of the many forms of pluralism that shape scientific practi ce in plate tectonics. Geoscientists studying plate tectonics face numerou s epistemic challenges\, but these challenges make the theory ripe for phi losophical analysis. I examine three such epistemic challenges in the cent ral chapters of this dissertation\, and I argue that each challenge calls for a distinct form of scientific pluralism\, which I assess for its metho dological strengths and weaknesses.\n\nAfter introducing plate tectonics a nd motivating the philosophical relevance of the project in the first chap ter\, in chapter 2\, I take a history of philosophy of science (HOPOS) app roach to uncover a variety of different forms of scientific pluralism from the methodological writings of a key 19th century figure in the history o f the geosciences\, Thomas C. Chamberlin\, whose work is largely unknown t o philosophers of science. Although Chamberlin does not use the language o f pluralism\, I use his so-called Method of Multiple Working Hypotheses (a nd later variations on this method) as a foundation for articulating three varieties of scientific pluralism. In the subsequent chapters\, I show h ow the three varieties of pluralism emerge within central debates in conte mporary plate tectonics.\n\nI address the first debate in chapter 3\, whic h concerns the role of mechanistic explanation in the rejection of contine ntal drift and in the acceptance of plate tectonics\, and how the mechanis m(s) driving plate tectonics remain unresolved to this day. The epistemic challenge here is the inaccessibility of the interior of the Earth\, and t he different ways the mechanistic components of the processes driving plat e tectonics can be carved up. The philosophical strategy that emerges is a nonintegrative explanatory pluralism\, which I show to be compatible with metaphysical monism.\n\nIn chapter 4\, I turn to another scientific debat e in plate tectonics: the timing of the onset of tectonic plate motion in the history of the Earth. The epistemic challenge here is the inaccessibil ity of deep time\, as such\, my discussion draws on recent work in the phi losophy of the historical sciences. I argue that the debate about timing t urns on a plurality of approaches to the nature of evidence\, and specific ally whether or not absence of evidence should be taken as evidence of abs ence. While the standard answer says “no\,” I defend what I call a pra gmatic approach to the absence of evidence\, which is based in a pluralism about evidential standards.\nIs plate tectonics unique to Earth or does i t occur on other planets or moons within our solar system and beyond? The epistemic challenge here is the inaccessibility of distant worlds\, and it poses what I call in chapter 5 the “tectonic N = 1 Problem\,” in anal ogy with the uniqueness of life on Earth. I argue that this issue also tur ns on how scientists choose to define plate tectonics\, and how broadly or narrowly the classificatory categories are construed. For example\, the m ovement of ice on Jupiter’s moon Europa satisfies some ways of defining plate tectonics\, but not others. For the sake of making progress on this issue\, I defend a classificatory or taxonomic pluralism.\n\nFinally\, in a brief concluding chapter\, I assess the project as a contribution to a n ovel “philosophy of plate tectonics\,” summarizing the key scientific debates within plate tectonics and the many different forms of scientific pluralism they prescribe. I conclude by opening the door for future work d rawing on another element of Chamberlin’s philosophy – pragmatism – in the project of developing a philosophy of the geosciences\, of which th is dissertation on the philosophy of plate tectonics is a part.

Whether you’re a longtime supporter or just discovering Berkshire Roots\, we’d love to meet you and share what we ’ve been up to. See you there! \nAt Berkshire Roots\, we know the plant\ , the science\, and the story behind everything we grow. We’ve always be lieved people should understand what they’re consuming—because better information leads to better experiences—and we’ve helped raise the sta ndard for how cannabis is understood\, not just sold. We approach it more like unpretentious sommeliers than budtenders\, translating the science in to something intuitive and real\, meeting every customer where they are— whether they want the essentials or a deeper understanding. Our roots as a medical dispensary continue to shape a science-forward approach\, grounde d in helping people find the right experience at the right time. We’ve b uilt Berkshire Roots with a different mindset than the corporate cannabis playbook. The Berkshires are our basecamp—where we grow\, live\, and sta rted in 2018—while our East Boston shop brings that same perspective to the city. We stay committed to local\, independent cultivation and collabo ration\, because independence isn’t just how we operate—it’s somethi ng you can feel in the product.

In real-worl denvironments\, soft materials will inevitably face a broad set of thermod ynamic driving forces— thermal\,chemical\, electric\, and magnetic—tha t strongly couple with their mechanical behavior. For instance\,changes in temperature can degrade a material’s ability to sustain mechanical load s\, quenching cantrigger phase separation and microstructure reorganizatio n\, and mechanical loading may enhancetransport or chemical reactivity. Th erefore\, to successfully enable the use of soft materials fortransformati ve applications\, it is crucial to develop a fully coupled description of their response tocomplex environments. In this talk\, I will discuss two r esearch projects that model multi-physics couplings in soft materials and demonstrate the fundamental role of multi-physics mechanics in biology and engineering. First\, I will discuss our work explaining how cells expertl y combine multiple driving forces to organize their internal materials int o membraneless compartments\, and how the same fundamental mechanics can b e applied towards the design of novel materials. I will then turn to cryop reservation\, a frontier with transformative potential for human health: i n the U.S. alone\, approximately 17 patients die each day awaiting an orga n transplant\, a crisis driven by the inability to store organs long-term. A primary failure mechanism is the severe thermo-mechanical damage tissue s sustain during freezing. I will present our recent work on predictive mo deling of freezing-induced damage in soft materials\, which can serve as a powerful tool for understanding the mechanistic underpinnings of the resu lting injury and for designing improved cryopreservation strategies.\n\nBi o: Mrityunjay Kothari is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mecha nical Engineering and afaculty member in the Integrated Applied Math progr am and the Center of Integrated Biomedical andBioengineering Research at t he University of New Hampshire (Durham\, NH\, USA)\, where he started inFa ll 2022.

The study of such structures is motivated by mathematic al physics. Classification\, or even construction\, of chiral quantization s is a hard problem\, with a lot of recent progress. In this talk\, we add ress this problem in the case when X is a smooth completely integrable sys tem. We use the method of formal geometry (as applied by Fedosov and Bezru kavnikov—Kaledin in the study of ordinary quantizations) to construct ch iral quantizations in this case. Then we discuss the possibility of chiral izing the BFN Coulomb branches using this technique.\n\nZoom: https://mit. zoom.us/j/91800438944.

The Fabrication-Integrated Design Lab (FIDL) at MIT extends concepts from traditional Design for Manufacturing (DFM) to explor e how the performance of structures and machines emerges from the coupled interaction of design\, materials\, and fabrication processes. In developi ng mechanical systems made from unconventional materials\, from soft robot s for deep-sea exploration to glass masonry\, we treat manufacturing as a central variable in the design and development process. Through examples i n soft robotics\, I will show how fabrication-aware computational design\, new molding processes\, and materials-selection and interface-processing strategies can expand accessible design spaces and improve reliability. I will also demonstrate how these ideas enable system-level integration of s ensing\, mechanical programming\, and untethered power. Finally\, I will e xtend these principles to additive manufacturing with recycled glass\, ill ustrating how fabrication-integrated thinking can bridge seemingly dispara te material systems and contribute to broader frameworks for designing rel iable mechanical systems whose behavior is inseparable from how they are m ade. \n\n \n\nBiography:\nKaitlyn Becker is an assistant professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at MIT\, holds a class of 1948 Career De velopment Professorship\, and leads the Fabrication-Integrated Design Lab at MIT.

Both Ken and Kenny have had th eir own musical careers as singer/songwriters\, but revel in the camarader ie of playing together. Their style is Americana\, with a touch of swing a s well. While their careers have been different\, their love of acoustic m usic and singing harmony has brought them together and found them playing everywhere from living rooms to music festivals. Kenny was 8 years old whe n his father’s friend Harry gave him a ukulele. He played that ukulele u ntil he was 11 years old. Then he discovered girls and promptly bought a g uitar. That ukulele\, however\, was the gateway into a fifty-year plus lov e affair with playing music on multiple instruments\, including banjo\, ma ndolin and bass.  In 2018\, Kenny released his debut CD\, MY GREATEST HIT S! and in 2022 followed it with his second CD\, Peace of Mind. He is also known internationally as an accomplished actor and theatre clown\, having appeared on Broadway and with Cirque du Soleil\, as well as on television and variety stages in the US\, France\, England\, Chile\, Germany and Chin a.\nKen Clarkson picked up the banjo at age 10 and never put it down\, exc ept on occasion to paddle wild rivers as a park ranger in the arctic of Al aska\, to climb trees on the sides of volcanoes in Hawaii\, to protect end angered birds\, or to lead youth deep into the coastal redwoods of Califor nia. Along the way he also picked up guitars\, mandolins\, ukeleles\, dobr os\, and the occasional didgeridoo.  His happy place is somewhere in the woods teaching wilderness skills to kids\, surfing at dawn\, or playing hi s banjo to his pet chickens. He is the Auxiliary Program Director at Birch es School in Lincoln\, MA. Ken is the songwriter\, instrumentalist\, and m ischief maker behind the group The Radiolarians and also lead banjo\, dobr o and vocalist for the Boston area  band The Familiar Strangers.\nFirst C hurch and Parish Dedham Unitarian Universalist was first gathered in 1638 and is located in Dedham Center at 670 High Street.

This August\, our team c ame together with Coast Cannabis for a team beach cleanup at M Street Beac h in South Boston\, helping give back to one of the neighborhood’s most- loved outdoor spaces. M Street Beach is part of South Boston’s beautiful waterfront and is enjoyed by residents\, visitors\, and beachgoers throug hout the year. For our teams\, it was a great opportunity to step away fro m the dispensary and spend some time giving back to the community we’re proud to be part of. Giving Back to SouthieAs a local dispensary in Boston \, we’re proud to call South Boston home. Our connection to the neighbor hood goes beyond serving customers — we want to be an active part of the community and contribute to the places that make Boston special. This Aug ust\, the Native Sun and Coast Cannabis teams grabbed bags\, gloves\, and cleanup supplies and headed down to M Street Beach. Together\, we walked a long the shoreline and surrounding areas\, picking up litter and helping k eep the beach clean for everyone who enjoys Southie’s waterfront. For us \, community involvement is about more than one event. It’s about showin g up\, working together\, and finding meaningful ways to make a positive i mpact in the neighborhoods where we live and work. A South Boston Cannabis Community CollaborationThe cleanup was also a great opportunity for two l ocal cannabis businesses to come together outside of the dispensary.Native Sun and Coast Cannabis are both part of Massachusetts’ growing cannabis community\, but collaborations like this remind us that local cannabis bu sinesses can contribute to the broader community in many different ways. S outh Boston has a strong neighborhood identity\, and its waterfront is a m ajor part of what makes the area special.

Now\, on September 18\, that same a ct returns to City Winery Boston\, sharper and stranger after almost twent y years of overlapping careers\, YouTube pioneering\, and New York Times b estselling books between them.\nTicket URL: https://tickets.citywinery.com /event/grace-and-mamrie-present-this-might-get-weird-m0e4s9 LAST-MODIFIED:20260730T000727Z LOCATION:Main Stage\, City Winery Boston\, 80 Beverly Street\, Boston\, MA \, 02114\, US URL:https://tickets.citywinery.com/event/grace-and-mamrie-present-this-mig ht-get-weird-m0e4s9?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=bo ston-ma X-SOURCE-NAME:City Winery Events X-SOURCE-URL:https://citywinery.com/pages/events/boston END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
