In this talk\, I will introduce this notion and basic e xamples\, and present a new phenomenon of symplectic rigidity in the form of obstructions to the existence of symplectophagies in certain situations . To establish these obstructions\, we adapt structural arguments from alg ebraic topology using relative symplectic cohomology\, introduced by Varol gunes\, and its extension to pairs (joint with Ganor\, Polterovich\, and Z apolsky)\, leveraging recent computations of this cohomology with Ganor. B y extracting capacity-like information from the torsion\, we utilize this algebraic framework to derive the obstructions.\n\n \n\nThis talk is based on work in progress with Ganor and Zapolsky.

To understand brains\, behavior\, and intelligence\, we m ust embrace the embodied nature of neural computation. In this talk\, I wi ll describe some ongoing collaborative work towards putting dynamic models of brains as controllers inside the bodies they evolved to sense and actu ate\, so that these virtual animals will be capable of interacting with si mulations of their environment. These efforts are currently closest to fru ition in the fruit fly. Here\, we are working with collaborators to develo p tools to interface simulations of connectomes---at the resolution of cel ls and synapses---in feedback with muscle actuators\, neural transduction sensors\, and whole-animal biomechanics. As one example of what this appro ach can reveal\, I will present our recent work developing connectome simu lations of the fly ventral nerve cord (VNC) to identify a putative central pattern generator (CPG) circuit for walking. We used these simulations as a platform for computational screens that would be impossible in a biolog ical experiment. This allowed us to isolate a core CPG circuit of only 3 n eurons that is sufficient to generate leg motor rhythms. In ongoing work\, integrating simulations of connectomes with physically realistic body mod els will allow us to investigate active behavioral sequences and how speci fic recurrent neural circuits support robust\, embodied intelligence in an imals.\n\nBio: Bing Wen Brunton is a Professor of Biology and the Richard & Joan Komen University Chair at the University of Washington in Seattle\, where she is also affiliated with the Paul G.

Operators of power grids in wildfire-prone re gions must consider the potential impacts of unpredictable fires. However \, traditional wildfire models do not effectively describe worst-case\, or even high-impact\, fire behavior. To address this issue\, we propose a m ixed-integer conic program to characterize an adversarial wildfire that ta rgets infrastructure while respecting realistic fire spread dynamics. We design a wind-assisted fire spread set based on the Rothermel fire spread model and propose principled convex relaxations of this set\, including a new relaxation of the inner product over Euclidean balls. We present test cases derived from the recent Park\, Eaton\, and Palisades fires in Calif ornia and solve models to identify the minimum time-to-outage of multiple- element contingencies and the maximum load shed associated with a sequence of element outages caused by a realistic wildfire. We use the minimum ti me-to-outage values to screen contingencies and construct security-constra ined optimal power flow models that promote operational resilience against wildfire.\n\nBio: Matthew Brun is a final-year PhD student at the MIT Ope rations Research Center\, advised by Dr. Andy Sun. His research improves the design and operation of energy systems by solving large-scale\, noncon vex optimization problems. He studies algorithms\, decompositions\, relax ations\, and heuristics for diverse energy applications\, including power grid operations\, recycling supply chains for energy assets\, and infrastr ucture resilience against natural disasters. He holds a B.A. in Operation s Research from Rice University and is a recipient of the INFORMS Undergra duate Operations Research Prize. Beyond OR\, he plays trumpet and has per formed with the MIT Symphony Orchestra\, the Rice University Campanile Orc hestra\, and Mariachi Luna Llena.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

S he previously taught at The Catholic University of America in the Departme nt of Semitic and Egyptian Languages and Literatures and at New York Unive rsity’s Institute for the Study of the Ancient World. She was also an af filiate member of the European Research Council (ERC) project “The Qur ’an as a Source for Late Antiquity”\, and participated in archaeologic al projects in Iraqi Kurdistan\, Sicily\, Ethiopia\, and Jordan.Her doctor al dissertation at the University of Cambridge was published as a monograp h\, Pre-Islamic Arabia: Societies\, Politics\, Cults\, and Identities duri ng Late Antiquity (Cambridge University Press\, 2023). Her work on the Red Sea\, Central Asia and Sicily in the ancient and medieval period has been featured in The Journal of Near Eastern Studies\, The Journal of Late Ant iquity\, Millennium\, The Journal of Ancient Near Eastern History and The Journal of Medieval Religious Cultures among others. She is currently edit ing Moving (Indian) Images in the First Millennium: papers from “Indian Ocean Figures that Sailed Away” an ISAW workshop series\, spring 2022(Br epols) and finishing her second monograph on a Red Sea pan-culture encompa ssing aesthetic and religious practices.\n\nAbstract\n\nThe emergence of I slam in South Arabia called for new communal gathering spaces. Instead of seeking fresh quarries\, the masons salvaged columns from the ruined Churc h of Abraha—a sixth-century cathedral constructed specifically to rival Mecca—and integrated them into the structure of what would later become the Great Mosque of Sana’a. Excavations at Beta Samati in Ethiopia confi rm a similar palimpsest two centuries earlier\, during the spread of Chris tianity in the Horn of Africa. There\, Christian basilicas adapted pagan p redecessors\, thereby re-adapting ancient carving techniques\, plans\, and motifs traceable to South Arabia. This presentation is structured in two parts. The first examines the historical context of late antique South Ara bia: early contacts with the Horn of Africa\, the emergence of a unified p olitical entity under Himyar\, the Aksumite conquest at the time of the so -called Massacre of Najran\, and\, eventually\, Caliphal rule. The second part turns to the region’s visual culture and religious architecture\, r anging from pagan temples and synagogues to churches and mosques. Drawing on my forthcoming monograph on cross-cultural interaction across the Red S ea\, I argue for the existence of a Red Sea pan-culture encompassing both aesthetic and religious practices\, demonstrating that the rise of Islam d id not abruptly terminate South Arabia’s ancient aesthetic traditions. I n the Great Mosque of Sana’a\, for instance\, the reuse of pre-Islamic s tructural and decorative elements and masonry techniques points to a desir e to amalgamate rather than erase the past. Moreover\, the plans of some e arly mosques bear a striking resemblance to ancient South Arabian pagan te mples\, such as the temple of Sirwah\, dedicated to Almaqah.

Seven decades later\, that vis ion remains as compelling as ever. Yet despite the extraordinary contribut ions of nuclear science to modern society\, public perception continues to be shaped by misconceptions that often obscure its profound humanitarian and technological impact.\n\nToday\, nuclear science underpins innovations across a wide range of disciplines. In medicine\, radiation-based diagnos tics and radiotherapy have become indispensable tools in the prevention\, diagnosis\, and treatment of disease\, improving and saving millions of li ves each year. In agriculture\, nuclear techniques enhance food security b y controlling destructive pests\, improving soil and water management\, an d accelerating the development of climate-resilient crop varieties. Isotop e hydrology enables the sustainable assessment and management of groundwat er resources\, safeguarding access to clean water for communities around t he world. Nuclear technologies also play a critical role in environmental stewardship\, ranging from tracing pollutants in oceans and ecosystems to monitoring greenhouse gas emissions and supporting the transition to clean er energy systems. At the frontier of energy research\, advances in fusion science are bringing the long-standing goal of safe\, abundant\, carbon-f ree power closer to reality.\n\nDr. Mokhtar will also examine the challeng es that continue to limit the full realization of nuclear science’s pote ntial. Public skepticism\, policy and regulatory barriers\, and persistent gaps in scientific literacy can all impede the adoption of technologies c apable of addressing some of humanity’s most pressing challenges. Drawin g on her experience at the intersection of science\, policy\, and internat ional engagement\, she will discuss how education\, effective science comm unication\, international cooperation\, and scientific diplomacy can help build public trust\, inform evidence-based decision-making\, and ensure th at the benefits of nuclear science are accessible to societies around the world.

That is w hy a modern smartphone holds more than eighty acoustic filters\, and why p iezoelectric devices are among the most volume-efficient signal processing components on chip. This talk asks how far that advantage can be scaled i n piezoelectric platforms.\n\n \n\nIn thin film piezoelectrics\, e.g.\, li thium niobate\, scaling toward millimeter-wave and sub-terahertz frequenci es runs into two constraints that pull against each other: thinner films l ose quality factor to surfaces and interfaces\, while higher-order overton es lose piezoelectric coupling to charge cancellation. The first part of t he talk covers periodically polarized piezoelectric films\, in which bonde d interfaces a few nanometers thick are placed at acoustic stress nodes so that the two constraints can be treated separately. On this platform we h ave measured resonators above 200 GHz and filters up to 50 GHz. Cryogenic measurements separate temperature-dependent phonon–phonon dissipation fr om the temperature-independent interface loss that dominates at present\, and show that these devices are still well short of the intrinsic limit.\n \n \n\nAdditionally\, thin suspended films also concentrate energy\, so mo dest drive powers are enough to produce strong nonlinearity\, including ph ononic frequency combs generated from a single input tone. The talk closes with ways the same platform couples acoustics to other domains: optomecha nical infrared sensing\, acoustoelectric interaction with electrons\, and piezoelectric resonators that replace magnetics in power conversion. Taken together\, these devices cover nearly six decades of frequency\, from ult rasonic transducers below 100 kHz to resonators above 100 GHz\, on one int egrated acoustic microsystems.

The first is a linear algebra course and the second a condensed calculus course that combines ideas from our curren t Calc I–Calc II sequence\, emphasizes a “numerical” perspective (as opposed to analytic)\, incorporates more modern engineering applications\ , and recognizes that over 95% of Michigan engineering students have prior exposure to calculus from high school. After a full year of discussions a nd development\, the sequence will debut in pilot form this fall. This tal k will discuss the factors leading to this sequence of events and how we h ave begun this reform in collaboration with Engineering.\n\n \n\nZoom link : https://cornell.zoom.us/j/92415199317\n\nZoom Link Password: olsume\n\nF or more information on OLSUME: https://olsume.org/ LAST-MODIFIED:20260819T182824Z URL:https://calendar.mit.edu/event/online-seminar-on-undergraduate-mathema tics-education-2424?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=bo ston-ma X-SOURCE-NAME:Events Calendar Calendar X-SOURCE-URL:https://calendar.mit.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Overdose Response Training DTSTART:20260922T160000Z DTEND:20260922T170000Z DTSTAMP:20260829T122841Z UID:tag:localist.com\,2008:EventInstance_53830688272041 CATEGORIES:education DESCRIPTION:You can help make your communities safer.

Mentoring can be rewarding while providing an opportunity to deve lop leadership and teaching skills. However\, mentoring can also be challe nging\, especially when done at the wrong time or without necessary bounda ries\, appropriate training\, and support from your principal investigator .\n\nMentoring From the Middle is a three-part workshop series designed fo r doctoral students and postdocs. The series provides practical strategies for building productive mentoring relationships\, supporting learning\, a nd addressing problems before they become unmanageable. The goal is to hel p you find balance between being a supportive mentor and protecting your o wn time\, research\, and professional development.\n\nUnit 1: In this webi nar\, we will explore factors to consider in advance of mentoring a studen t and discuss how to engage with interns through the onboarding and orient ation process. Communication related to research projects\, boundaries\, a nd expectation setting will be discussed within the context of psychologic al safety and belonging in the mentoring relationship and group.\n\nSpeake r: Sharon Milgram\, Ph.D.\, founder\, Sharon Milgram & Associates\, former director\, NIH Office of Intramural Training & Education.

Most are built from rigid\, motorized mechan isms and lean on ever more computationally intensive perception\, control\ , and learning pipelines to cope with the real world. Animals\, by contras t\, derive these capabilities directly from their material composition and morphology. For example\, muscles provide compliant\, back-drivable actua tion\; event-based mechanoreceptors translate body-environment interaction s into rich feedback\; and multiscale tissue architectures impart toughnes s and graceful degradation. Northwestern University’s Ryan Truby\, along with his research group\, the Robotic Matter Lab\, develops robotic mater ials\, or material systems that empower robots to operate\, learn\, and ad apt in real-world environments as animals do.\n \nIn this talk\, Truby wil l show how the team establishes performance-through-processing relationshi ps to inversely design robotic materials for new actuation and sensing cap abilities\, while advancing digital design and additive manufacturing plat forms that reveal new structure-property relationships in soft\, architect ed\, and structural robotic materials. He will present the team’s work i n architecting elastomers from structural to molecular scales as artificia l muscles\; then introduce efforts to create iontronic materials for robot perception using polymerizable ionic liquids. Finally\, Truby will share the team’s recent efforts to advance the multiscale design and 3D printi ng of robotic materials. Altogether\, these efforts advance a body-up\, ra ther than compute-down\, paradigm for robotics in which actuation\, percep tion\, and learning are materialized in the bodies of robots themselves.

However\, shifting U.S. commitment s\, a changing balance of power\, and potential new patrons of extended nu clear deterrence are raising the question of how extended nuclear deterren ce operates in more general terms\, beyond the U.S. case. We identify a tr ilemma that exists when states offer extended nuclear deterrence. States c annot simultaneously prioritize three policy goals: credible deterrence\; a nuclear arsenal oriented toward crisis stability\; and nonproliferation. The choice to prioritize any two of these goals requires deprioritizing t he third. We show that the constraints of the trilemma drove U.S. policy c hoices during the Cold War and sheds light on the China-North Korea relati onship and ongoing policy debates regarding potential “post-American” options for European extended nuclear deterrence.

Among these species\, borylenes have emerged as highly promising intermediates for sm all-molecule activation and bond-forming reactions. However\, state-of-the -art approaches to borylenes typically rely on strong reducing reagents or harsh conditions\, which restrict functional-group compatibility and prac tical applications.\n\n \n\nWe explored alternative and milder strategies for accessing borylenes and boryl anions without the use of aggressive rea gents. Two precursors\, boranorbornadiene and diazoborane\, will be presen ted\, with particular emphasis on the diazoborane platform. Detailed inves tigations of electronic structure and reactivity reveal intriguing paralle ls to diazoalkanes\, while also highlighting key distinctions arising from boron’s unique valence and orbital characteristics. \n\n \n\nThis strat egy provides new opportunities for downstream transformations\, particular ly small-molecule activation and selective C–H borylation reactions that are more compatible with common organic functional groups. More broadly\, this work establishes a conceptual framework for the design of practical precursors to low-valent main-group intermediates.\n\n \n\nPizza will be s erved outside of 4-370 at 3:45PM.

Nevertheless\, difficulties in social communication and interaction remai n a core diagnostic feature of autism. There are two broad ways to reconc ile these observations: 1) our assessments could be failing the capture hi gher-level language skills that are impaired (or the temporal dynamics of these processes)\; 2) the social communication difficulties could arise fo r reasons largely independent from linguistic processing. To explore the first possibility my lab has focused on predictive lexical processing whic h appears to be the central bottleneck in language comprehension. We firs t look at explicit lexical prediction using a sentence cloze task and disc over that explicit lexical prediction in both adults and children depends more on structural language abilities than on diagnostic status. This dat a does not rule out deficits in lexical prediction due to the limited cont ext provided in such tasks and their insensitivity to differences in the t iming of prediction. To explore moment-to-moment lexical prediction in a r icher discourse\, we have developed a naturalistic EEG task that we call t he Storytime Paradigm. I’ll present recent data which demonstrates that lexical processing this task is sensitive to both development change and individual differences\, with the effects of prediction growing with age a nd linguistic knowledge. Then I will reveal our findings from a group of c hildren with autism diagnoses (6-12 years) and a matched control group. I will end by discussing the need for parallel research on other well-defin ed subgroups of autistic folks.

In recent years\, electrical techniques based on the spin Hall effect and its inverse have made it possible to examine the excitation and propa gation of spin angular momentum in magnetic insulators. This opens up new avenues for studying insulating quantum magnets\, systems in which strong magnetic interactions and geometric frustration lead to competing ordered states and quantum fluctuations. Of particular interest are candidate qu antum spin liquids\, in which quantum fluctuations are theorized to preven t long-range order and lead to exotic fractionalized spin -carrying excita tions. I will introduce the ideas and techniques\, and I will show recent experimental results on thermally driven spin transport in two transition metal oxides and a Kitaev-like quantum magnet\, finishing with an outlook at future opportunities.

As someone who has cared for\, curated\, digitized\, and publicized archives for over forty years in the National Archives of Ireland\, Crowe has always been interested in the fa ct that records often raise more questions than they answer\; there are al so massive gaps in the Irish archival record. The works of two female auth ors (Vona Groarke & Doireann Ní Ghríofa)\, working respectively with gen ealogical records in search of an ancestor and mental health records in a search for meaning in a previous secret archive\, tackle archival problems confronting their writing with ingenuity\, imagination and crucial transp arency as to the methodologies they are using. Crowe will be referring to Saidiya Hartmann's use of 'critical fabulation' as a theory and a methodol ogy to help overcome major gaps in the African-American archival record. \ n\nCatriona Crowe is co-presenter\, with Diarmaid Ferriter\, of the RTÉ h istory podcast What Were We Like? and Curator of First Through Talks at th e Galway International Arts Festival. She was formerly Head of Special Pro jects at the National Archives of Ireland. She is Chair of the SAOL Projec t\, which helps women with addiction issues in Dublin's North Inner City. She is a member of the Royal Irish Academy.

Poet Federico García Lorc a described it as a raw\, embodied creative force that overtakes a perform er — not skill\, not style\, but an expressive drive that arrives only t hrough vulnerability and risk. This 2-hour event explores that question fi rst through ideas\, then through the body.\n\nCultural anthropologist and pianist Alfredo Minetti opens with a short talk on why genuine artistic ri sk has become so rare in performance today. Drawing on Lorca\, Guy Debord' s Society of the Spectacle\, and Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death \, he traces how consumer culture and entertainment saturation have pushed the performing arts toward spectacle and surface polish\, sidelining the vulnerability that makes performance feel alive. Using classical concert m usic as a case study — including pianist Glenn Gould's defiant breaks fr om convention — Minetti makes the case for reclaiming performance as som ething lived and risked\, not simply produced and consumed. \n\nMinetti an d choreographer Fernanda Ghi then engage in a conversation on these ideas\ , bringing together their perspectives as musician and dancer before movin g into direct physical experience.\n\nGhi leads participants into that emb odied exploration: Is duende an energy? An emotion? A force that wakes the most authentic\, creative self? Through guided breathing\, free movement\ , and improvisation — both solo and with a partner — participants will explore what happens when the body moves beyond learned technique and hab it. The practice invites letting go\, releasing control\, quieting the ana lytical mind\, and simply being present — creating the conditions for du ende to emerge.\n\nThis is not a class in choreography or performance tech nique. It's an embodied investigation into creativity\, presence\, and aut hentic expression — for anyone curious why a performance can feel hollow even when flawlessly executed\, and what it takes to bring the danger and depth back. No dance or musical experience required.
