A Mathematical Overview of a Troublesome Topic\n\nAbstract: The school curriculum is shaped by a fundamental tension: while much of mathe matics is motivated by real-world intuition\, the mathematics that emerges ultimately outgrows any single model that inspired it.\n\nFractions sit s quarely in this tension\, and it is never fully resolved in the curriculum . Students first meet fractions as commands—circle a third of the kitten s—and then as concrete parts of a whole—a third of a pie. Fractions ar e not numbers per se until we place them on the number line and suggest th at they are. Questions about multiplication and division then pull us back toward real-world thinking—“of means multiply\,” portions of portio ns\, and the area model—further blurring what a fraction seems to be.\n\ nWhere do students land after all this on what a fraction is and why its a rithmetic works? No wonder so many students reach high school and college mathematics disliking\, or even hating\, fractions. Let’s see if we can turn that around!\n\n \n\nZoom link: https://cornell.zoom.us/j/92415199317 \n\nZoom Link Password: olsume\n\nFor more information on OLSUME: https:// olsume.org/ LAST-MODIFIED:20260818T002956Z URL:https://calendar.mit.edu/event/online-seminar-on-undergraduate-mathema tics-education-3826 X-SOURCE-NAME:Events Calendar Calendar X-SOURCE-URL:https://calendar.mit.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:PDE/Analysis Seminar DTSTART:20260908T190000Z DTEND:20260908T200000Z DTSTAMP:20260904T183232Z UID:tag:localist.com\,2008:EventInstance_53850257425260 CATEGORIES:education DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Robert Koirala (University of California\, San Diego) \n\nTitle: Structure Theory of Parabolic Zero and Singular Sets \n\nAbstra ct: I will discuss the structure theory of zero and singular sets of solut ions to parabolic PDEs\, drawing an analogy with the corresponding theory in the polynomial setting. As in the polynomial setting\, their geometric and measure-theoretic structure is controlled by frequency\, a quantity th at plays the role of degree for polynomials. However\, this analogy breaks down at the level of topology.\n\n \n\nThis talk is based in part on join t work with Max Hallgren and Zilu Ma\, and on joint work with Javier Góme z-Serrano and Alexander Logunov.

But people vary dramatically in the self control they exhib it over thoughts and actions\, and these variations from within the first few years of life predict important outcomes in health\, wealth\, educatio n\, and relationships. Why? According to dominant accounts\, self control is vital for success in life\, and executive functions that support such c ontrol show stable individual differences: If you have high executive func tion capacity as a child\, you will have high executive function capacity as an adult\, and this stability explains why early behaviors predict late r outcomes. However\, recent research from my lab and others challenges th is view. People can possess the executive function capacity needed for sel f control\, but adaptively decide whether or not to engage it based on whe ther the effort is likely to pay off. (Is a promised future reward worth r esisting an immediate temptation for? Do people around me value self contr ol? Is there an easier option?) These experiences accumulate to create hab its that influence the effort required for engaging executive function\, w hich shapes future decisions about whether to engage it. This framework pr ovides an alternative understanding of why people vary in their self contr ol\, why these individual differences predict life outcomes\, and how to i dentify effective targets for support and intervention.

Large-eddy simulation (LES) has emerged as the most promising appr oach because it explicitly resolves the energetic turbulent motions that g overn these processes. This presentation explores recent advances that are bringing LES closer to routine engineering practice.\n\n\nA first step to ward broader adoption of LES for urban and building design is demonstratin g its predictive capability across different applications. For wind loadin g\, validation studies have shown that a two-step LES methodology provides accurate predictions of peak pressures on buildings in realistic urban en vironments. For natural ventilation\, coupled indoor-outdoor LES reproduce s measured ventilation rates while capturing the strong influence of surro unding buildings on local flow patterns. These validation studies demonstr ate that LES can accurately predict the governing flow physics.\n\n\nThe s econd challenge is reducing the computational cost of a design analysis\, where tens to hundreds of simulations may be required to account for chang ing wind directions\, atmospheric variability\, and design alternatives. F or wind loading\, high-fidelity LES can be combined with lower-fidelity si mulations through multi-fidelity machine learning frameworks\, enabling ac curate predictions across many wind directions while requiring only a limi ted number of expensive LES calculations. For applications such as urban a irflow and natural ventilation\, deep-learning surrogate models trained on LES databases can predict flow fields in seconds\, providing orders-of-ma gnitude reductions in computational cost while maintaining the desired eng ineering accuracy. Together\, these developments point toward a new genera tion of computational tools that combine physics-based simulation and mach ine learning to enable accurate and efficient prediction of complex turbul ent flows.\n\n \n\nBio:\n\nCatherine Gorlé is an Associate Professor of C ivil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University. Her research fo cuses on developing predictive computational methods for turbulent flows t o support the design of sustainable and resilient buildings and cities. He r group develops computational frameworks that combine large-eddy simulati on\, uncertainty quantification\, multi-fidelity and multiscale modeling\, and machine-learning techniques to improve both the accuracy and computat ional efficiency of simulation methods.\n\nCatherine received her BSc (200 2) and MSc (2005) degrees in Aerospace Engineering from the Delft Universi ty of Technology\, and her PhD (2010) from the von Karman Institute for Fl uid Dynamics in cooperation with the University of Antwerp. She has been t he recipient of a Stanford Center for Turbulence Research Postdoctoral Fel lowship (2010)\, a Pegasus Marie Curie Fellowship (2012)\, and an NSF CARE ER award (2018).

The overarching theme of this work is that \n the use of randomized hypotheses can substantially improve \nupon the best error rates achievable with deterministic \nhypotheses.\n\n\nFor η-rate malicious noise\, we show the optimal error is 1/2 · \nη/(1 − η)\, im proving on the optimal error of deterministic \nhypotheses by a factor of 1/2. This answers an open question \nof Cesa-Bianchi et al.

This closes a gap first \nnoted by Bshouty et al. (Theoretical Computer Science 2002) \n when they introduced nasty noise and reiterated in the \nrecent works of K livans et al.

Kobe Professor in the McKetta Department of Chemical Engin eering at The University of Texas at Austin\n\n \n\nElectrification aims t o change the way energy is supplied and used in chemical and manufacturing processes. Electrifying process heat is especially important because heat ing accounts for a large share of industrial energy use and emissions. At the level of individual units\, electric technologies can operate more eff iciently\, start up much faster\, and offer better control than convention al fired equipment. These features enable new opportunities for process in tegration and more flexible plant operation. Beyond the plant\, electrific ation also affects the power grid. As more industrial processes rely on el ectricity\, their operating patterns influence overall electricity demand and its variability. This presentation reviews recent results that probe t hese effects. We quantify efficiency gains at the unit level\, introduce n ew processing architectures with fast startup /shut down cycles\, discuss the impact of electrification on heat integration at the plant level\, and study new electricity market mechanisms such as demand bidding at the gri d scale. Together\, these results provide a clearer picture of how process electrification performs in practice\, and what challenges lie ahead for broad adoption. \n\n \n\nMichael Baldea is the Claire and Peter Buenz Endo wed Chair and Kenneth A. Kobe Professor in the McKetta Department of Chemi cal Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin\, and the ExxonMobil Visiting Chair Professor at the National University of Singapore. He serve s as Chief Technology Officer for EPIXC\, a DOE Manufacturing Institute fo cused on process electrification and is the Editor in Chief of Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research. He obtained his Diploma and M.Sc. in Che mical Engineering from "Babes-Bolyai" University in Cluj-Napoca\, Romania\ , and a doctorate in Chemical Engineering from the University of Minnesota . Prior to joining The University of Texas\, he led industrial research at the Praxair (now Linde) Technology Center in Tonawanda\, NY. His research interests include the dynamics\, optimization and control of process and energy systems\, areas in which he has published three books and over 200 peer-reviewed journal and conference articles. He is the recipient\, among others\, of the AIChE Institute Award for Excellence in Industrial Gases Technology\, the NSF CAREER award\, and the Model-Based Innovation Prize f rom Siemens Process Systems Enterprise.

At the “artistic dinner” following the funeral\, the writer lurks at the perimeter of the room\, taking stock of the vulgarity\, pomposity\, and hypocrisy of the people in whom he had onc e invested his youthful desire and ambition. Laden with both grief and gui lt\, the writer condemns the culture industry to which his friend was sacr ificed\, implicating not only himself but everyone else in her death. Bern hard’s text prompts us to ask: What happens to artistic commitments wron gly cultivated? Who suffers as a result? And what can one do with the bitt er insights resulting from compromise and complicity with corrupted collec tive frameworks?

A new frontier is now emerging: using ultrafast light pulses to create transient phases of matt er not just in space\, but also in time. This direction calls for new mate rials synthesis strategies\, characterization tools\, and an integration b etween materials design and ultrafast optical control. Shuolong Yang will present two recent examples from his group at the University of Chicago. F irst\, they grow monolayer MnBi₂Te₄ by molecular beam epitaxy and show that photoexcitation drives it into an exciton condensate — a collectiv e quantum state of bound electron-hole pairs. Tracked by time- and angle-r esolved photoemission spectroscopy (tr-ARPES)\, this condensate exhibits a 2D superfluid which persists up to 280 K. It can be continuously tuned be tween a fermionic (BCS-like) and bosonic (BEC-like) regime\, offering a co ntrollable platform for studying quantum phase transitions in 2D materials . Second\, they integrate topological insulator Bi₂Se₃ with a photonic crystal cavity to achieve spatiotemporal control over its electronic stru cture.

I will explain some criteria on the measure and diffeomorphisms which ensure that the measure is a smooth volume form on 𝑀.

When the underlying syst em has a homogeneous structure\, usually coming from a Lie group\, with ap propriate assumptions a wide range of rigidity theorems show that ergodic invariant measures and orbit closures have to be well-behaved and can ofte n be classified.\n\nI will describe joint work with Brown\, Eskin\, and Ro driguez Hertz\, which establishes rigidity results for quite general dynam ical systems with some hyperbolicity. I will discuss in detail a case with rich geometric structures\, namely that of the action of the mapping clas s group and its subgroups on the character variety of a compact Lie group. Orbit closures in this case are related to the geometry of families of Ri emann surfaces.

In this ta lk\, I will introduce this notion and basic examples\, and present a new p henomenon of symplectic rigidity in the form of obstructions to the existe nce of symplectophagies in certain situations. To establish these obstruct ions\, we adapt structural arguments from algebraic topology using relativ e symplectic cohomology\, introduced by Varolgunes\, and its extension to pairs (joint with Ganor\, Polterovich\, and Zapolsky)\, leveraging recent computations of this cohomology with Ganor. By extracting capacity-like in formation from the torsion\, we utilize this algebraic framework to derive the obstructions.\n\n \n\nThis talk is based on work in progress with Gan or and Zapolsky.

Originally from Port Townsend\, WA\, he also lived in Louisville\, New York City\, and is now based in Boston\, where he lives w ith his wife and two sons and teaches at MIT.\n\n \n\nHe was a founding me mber and one of the principal songwriters (along with Jason Noble and Rach el Grimes) of the Louisville\, KY-based instrumental band Rachel's\, who r eleased 6 albums on Quarterstick Records between 1995 and 2003. The 2016 r e-issue of 'systems/layers'\, the final Rachel's album\, garnered a "Best New Reissue" on Pitchfork and was called "a truly synthesized mesh of cham ber music and electronics that sounded like little else…a godfather reco rd to the nascent (post-classical) genre…" A core ensemble of viola\, ce llo\, piano\, guitar/bass\, drums\, and percussion was surrounded by many other orchestral instruments\, tape manipulation\, cinematic sound design\ , found sounds and electronic elements in their studio albums. Rachel's to ured widely in North America and Europe\, and played a concert performance of their album 'Music For Egon Schiele' in Seoul\, South Korea. Music by Rachel's has been used in countless films\, theater\, and dance performan ces\, the most well-known of which include the 2014 Oscar-winning foreign film 'The Great Beauty'\, 'Hancock' directed by Peter Berg\, 'Any Given Su nday' directed by Oliver Stone\, and both of the Gasland films\, directed by Josh Fox. Rachel's also performed on the BBC\, NPR's "Weekend Edition S unday"\, WNYC's "New Sounds" including a special live performance at Merki n Hall in New York in 2005\, as well as the national radio networks in Bel gium\, Italy\, and South Korea.\n\n \n\nAs a solo artist\, Frederickson ha s released seven albums since 2011: The Painted Bird | Bastard\, The Paint ed Bird | Amidst and Custodians of Beauty are scores for contemporary danc e created for Pavel Zustiak and Palissimo Co.

As a guest artist he has recorded viola with Rodan\, Shipp ing News\, Seluah\, Rachel Grimes\, Rivulets\, Mission of Burma\, The For Carnation\, Per Mission\, Samara Lubelski\, and Shannon Wright.\n\n \n\nAf ter to New York in 2004\, Frederickson worked primarily in theater and dan ce\, continuing collaborations with Anne Bogart's SITI Co. which began wit h the Rachel's/SITI theater collaboration 'systems/layers' and continued a s he wrote and performed music for Antigone\, Trojan Women\, Hanjo\, and designed sound for Steel Hammer\, a production featuring the Bang on a Can All-Stars performing the music of Julia Wolfe.

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.

She previously taught at The Catholic University of Amer ica in the Department of Semitic and Egyptian Languages and Literatures an d at New York University’s Institute for the Study of the Ancient World. She was also an affiliate member of the European Research Council (ERC) p roject “The Qur’an as a Source for Late Antiquity”\, and participate d in archaeological projects in Iraqi Kurdistan\, Sicily\, Ethiopia\, and Jordan.Her doctoral dissertation at the University of Cambridge was publis hed as a monograph\, Pre-Islamic Arabia: Societies\, Politics\, Cults\, an d Identities during Late Antiquity (Cambridge University Press\, 2023). He r work on the Red Sea\, Central Asia and Sicily in the ancient and medieva l period has been featured in The Journal of Near Eastern Studies\, The Jo urnal of Late Antiquity\, Millennium\, The Journal of Ancient Near Eastern History and The Journal of Medieval Religious Cultures among others. She is currently editing Moving (Indian) Images in the First Millennium: paper s from “Indian Ocean Figures that Sailed Away” an ISAW workshop series \, spring 2022(Brepols) and finishing her second monograph on a Red Sea pa n-culture encompassing aesthetic and religious practices.\n\nAbstract\n\nT he emergence of Islam in South Arabia called for new communal gathering sp aces. Instead of seeking fresh quarries\, the masons salvaged columns from the ruined Church of Abraha—a sixth-century cathedral constructed speci fically to rival Mecca—and integrated them into the structure of what wo uld later become the Great Mosque of Sana’a. Excavations at Beta Samati in Ethiopia confirm a similar palimpsest two centuries earlier\, during th e spread of Christianity in the Horn of Africa. There\, Christian basilica s adapted pagan predecessors\, thereby re-adapting ancient carving techniq ues\, plans\, and motifs traceable to South Arabia. This presentation is s tructured in two parts. The first examines the historical context of late antique South Arabia: early contacts with the Horn of Africa\, the emergen ce of a unified political entity under Himyar\, the Aksumite conquest at t he 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\, ranging from pagan temples and synagogues to churches and mosques. Drawing on my forthcoming monograph on cross-cultural interaction across the Red Sea\, I argue for the existence of a Red Sea pan-culture e ncompassing both aesthetic and religious practices\, demonstrating that th e rise of Islam did not abruptly terminate South Arabia’s ancient aesthe tic traditions. In the Great Mosque of Sana’a\, for instance\, the reuse of pre-Islamic structural and decorative elements and masonry techniques points to a desire to amalgamate rather than erase the past. Moreover\, th e plans of some early mosques bear a striking resemblance to ancient South Arabian pagan temples\, such as the temple of Sirwah\, dedicated to Almaq ah.

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 X-SOURCE-NAME:Events Calendar Calendar X-SOURCE-URL:https://calendar.mit.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:PKG IAP Health Programs Info Session DTSTART:20260922T160000Z DTEND:20260922T170000Z DTSTAMP:20260901T001631Z UID:tag:localist.com\,2008:EventInstance_53852553868297 CATEGORIES:education DESCRIPTION:Join the PKG Center for an info session about PKG’s IAP Heal th Programs on Tuesday\, September 22nd from 12–1 pm in CAPD’s Program Room (7-103).

But what do students really think about t hese tools\, and about their own writing? In this talk\, I share findings from a large-scale survey (n=342) of University of Illinois undergraduates conducted in spring 2026. These students occupy a unique moment in histor y: they learned to write before GenAI existed\, which makes them well posi tioned to compare their own abilities to a machine’s. The results may su rprise you. Students report high familiarity with AI but lukewarm trust. N early half of humanities students say they never use these tools at all\, while business and STEM students use and trust them the most. When asked t o compare their writing to GenAI\, students overwhelmingly judged their ow n work superior\, insisting that their ideas are better. Along the way\, s peaker John Gallagher discusses research that shows GenAI erodes writing a bility over time by making us less persistent. Whether you use AI every da y\, avoid it entirely\, or simply wonder what it means for how we write an d think\, this conversation is for you.\n\n \n\nThis talk is part of WRAP ‘s series on AI and writing\, supported by a SHASS MITHIC grant.\n\n \n\ nJohn Gallagher is a Professor of English and Faculty Affiliate at the Sch ool of Information Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign \, where he researches AI writing\, social media habits\, and methods that combine qualitative and quantitative techniques. He is the author of four books\, including AI Though the Experts’ Eyes\, available from the Univ ersity of Pittsburgh Press in September. In addition to student use of Gen AI\, his current projects include studies of participation inequality in o nline communities (a select few actually participate online) with implicat ions for LLM training data.

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.

Violinist\, composer\, and technologist Mari Kimura presents MUGIC® (Music/User Gesture Interface Control)\, a groundbreaking motion sensor de signed to deepen\, not replace\, musicianship. Unlike many fleeting tech i nnovations\, MUGIC® is a lightweight\, wearable device that captures expr essive gestures in real time\, converting them into control data for sound \, visuals\, and interactive media. Designed with performers in mind\, it emphasizes expressivity\, accessibility\, and longevity—offering a susta inable model for integrating technology into the arts\, education\, and th erapeutic practices. Drawing from over a decade of development and real-wo rld application—from interdisciplinary curricula to stages such as Linco ln Center\, the Venice Biennale\, and Expo 2025 Osaka—Kimura showcases h ow mastering a robust\, intuitive tool fosters deeper expression and long- term artistic growth.\n\n \n\nSpeaker Bio: \n\nMari Kimura is a visionary violinist\, composer\, technologist\, and entrepreneur whose pioneering wo rk bridges performance\, innovation\, and education. A recipient of the Gu ggenheim Fellowship\, the Fromm Commission from Harvard\, and a residency at IRCAM in Paris\, she was awarded the 2025 SEAMUS Award for lifetime ach ievement in electroacoustic music. The Carnegie Corporation recognized her as an “Immigrant: Pride of America.”\n\nInternationally acclaimed for inventing the subharmonics technique\, enabling violinists to play an oct ave below the instrument’s natural range\, she was hailed by The New Yor k Times as a “virtuoso playing at the edge.” Her music\, integrating c ontemporary composition with motion-sensor technology\, has been commissio ned by ensembles such as the Cassatt String Quartet\, Harvard New Music En semble and others. An active performer and improviser\, she has premiered works by John Adams\, Luciano Berio\, and Tania León\, and collaborated w ith artists such as Jim O’Rourke\, Henry Kaiser and Elliott Sharp. A lon gtime collaborator on the ERC project involving SOMAX — an AI-improvisat ion engine developed at IRCAM — she regularly performs at IRCAM's ImproT ech festivals.\n\nKimura joined UC Irvine’s ICIT program as a Professor of Music in 2017 and retired in June 2026\, when she was named Professor E meritus. She continues to teach as a graduate faculty at Juilliard since 1 998. In 2020\, she launched MUGIC® (Music/User Gesture Interface Control) \, a compact motion sensor that transforms physical gestures into data for controlling music\, visuals\, and beyond. MUGIC® is now used in major ve nues—including Lincoln Center\, the Venice Biennale\, and Osaka Expo 202 5—and at leading institutions such as Harvard\, Juilliard\, and Berlin ’s University of the Arts (UdK).\n\nDuring the pandemic\, Kimura earned an MBA from UC Irvine’s Merage School and was recognized by the U.S. Hou se and California Legislature for her achievements in innovation and entre preneurship. https://www.mugicmotion.com LAST-MODIFIED:20260825T062843Z LOCATION:Building 4\, Killian Hall URL:https://calendar.mit.edu/event/mit-music-tech-speaker-series-presents- mari-kimura X-SOURCE-NAME:Events Calendar Calendar X-SOURCE-URL:https://calendar.mit.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Refuge @ MIT: QUESTION NIGHT DTSTART:20260923T213000Z DTEND:20260923T230000Z DTSTAMP:20260902T183454Z UID:tag:localist.com\,2008:EventInstance_53867634537179 CATEGORIES:community DESCRIPTION:Join us for our QUESTION NIGHT\, dinner & worship.

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.

Bauer\, “Beyond Bias” DTSTART:20260924T160000Z DTEND:20260924T180000Z DTSTAMP:20260825T183123Z UID:tag:localist.com\,2008:EventInstance_53796788921427 CATEGORIES:education DESCRIPTION:Lunch provided. Please register.\n\n \n\n\n\nDrawing from his book Making the Liberal Media: How Conservatives Built a Movement Against the Press (Columbia\, 2026)\, A.J. Bauer tracks the rightward shift of str uctural media criticism in the United States in the late 1940s and early 1 950s. He contends that bias discourse—attempts to theoretically or empir ically prove or disprove media bias—relies on an unwarranted faith in ex posure. Bias claims assert that political disagreement is fundamentally an epistemological problem—that if only people had “the facts” they wo uld see the world\, and share the political interests\, of the claimant.\n \n \n\n\n\nWhile the idea of “liberal media” bias has played a central role in modern conservative movement strategy and identity formation\, pr ogressive and journalistic attempts to respond have too often failed by ac cepting the claim’s core premise. What would it look like to reject bias discourse outright? Instead of endlessly debating the ideological and nor mative slants of various media\, what if we saw bias for what it is—an a cknowledgment of ideological disagreement\, and an invitation into a disti nct practice of worldbuilding.\n\n \n\nA.J. Bauer is an assistant professo r of journalism at the University of Alabama. He holds a PhD in American S tudies from New York University. He is co-editor of News on the Right: Stu dying Conservative News Cultures (Oxford\, 2019) and the author of Making the Liberal Media: How Conservatives Built a Movement Against the Press (C olumbia\, 2026).

Historically\, ac tion from just 3.5% of the population has tipped the scales and always led to serious political change (known as the 3.5% rule). This workshop serie s provides opportunities for participants to shape AI policy through colle ctive civic action.\n\n \n\nDuring times of difficulty pushing for federal action\, states serve as an important powerhouse for policy leadership\, sandboxing\, and resistance. In this workshop\, we will engage in 3 Massac husetts campaigns taking action against unsafe\, unregulated\, and undemoc ratic AI:\n\n \n\n \n\nPolicy leadership – Massachusetts is now pioneeri ng legislation with the strongest AI regulation language in the country (A mendment 471). This campaign aims to pass the amendment. Resistance agains t undemocratic AI adoption – In February 2026\, Gov. Maura Healey made M assachusetts the first state to roll out ChatGPT across the entire execut ive branch\, with citizens getting no say. This campaign aims to demand tr ansparency and citizen oversight. Resistance against pre-emption – Massa chusetts Rep. Lori Trahan drafted a bill that would preempt state AI laws for three years. This campaign aims to get Trahan to drop the bill.\n\n \n \n \n\nPlease join us to learn more and contribute your voice and action. \n\n \n\n \n\nRSVP for lunch LAST-MODIFIED:20260903T183348Z LOCATION:Building W20: Stratton Student Center\, 401 (Student Center Multi purpose Room) URL:https://calendar.mit.edu/event/taking-collective-action-to-shape-ai-po licy-what-should-massachusetts-do-about-ai X-SOURCE-NAME:Events Calendar Calendar X-SOURCE-URL:https://calendar.mit.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Innovation for the Aging Brain DTSTART:20260925T170000Z DTEND:20260925T220000Z DTSTAMP:20260728T235535Z UID:tag:localist.com\,2008:EventInstance_53320731183194 CATEGORIES:education DESCRIPTION:The Aging Brain Initiative Fall 2026 Symposium: Innovation for the Aging Brain\n\n \n\nDate: Friday\, September 25\, 2026Time: 1:00-6:00 pm (Talks: 1:00-5:00pm\; Poster Session: 5:00-6:00pm)Location: Singleton A uditorium (46-3002\, Third Fl of MIT Building 46)Address: 43 Vassar Street \, Cambridge\, MA 02139Faculty Host: Li-Huei Tsai \n\nJoin us in person on Friday\, September 25th for a half day symposium by the Aging Brain Initi ative at MIT\, this year titled “Innovation for the Aging Brain”.

A single shock\, lik e an energy price spike or a failed harvest\, can cascade within months in to strained foreign reserves\, rising household costs\, and delayed invest ment\, with the first point of failure typically financial or institutiona l rather than technological. Drawing on Dr. Warner's extensive experience at the intersection of climate science and policymaking\, this talk examin es key vulnerability trends\, and which financial tools\, policy measures\ , and sequencing approaches can help when countries face simultaneous pres sures.\n \nKoko Warner\, PhD\, is Project Director at the Penn Internation al Climate Observatory and former director of the Global Data Institute at the International Organization for Migration. At the UNFCCC secretariat\, she managed the Vulnerability subdivision and supervised the loss and dam age policy area. She is a lead author of the IPCC's Fifth and Sixth Assess ment Reports and founded the Munich Climate Insurance Initiative.

As communities grapple with a compounding "polycrisis" of cos t-of-living pressures\, fragile supply chains\, and climate imperatives\, this talk introduces Just Transition Micro-Clusters (JTMCs)\, place-based units that function simultaneously as governance bodies\, planning methods \, and development strategies. Local food systems are an excellent entry p oint for JTMCs\, since food sits at the intersection of household budgets\ , infrastructure\, and social wellbeing. The talk lays out a practical fou r-step planning sequence (asset diagnosis\, community-legitimized visionin g\, roadmap development\, and mobilization of higher-level finance) for em bedding food interventions into just-transition planning. Drawing on cases from London\, Brazil\, and Senegal\, the talk demonstrates how JTMCs can turn food systems into a concrete lever for building resilient\, low-carbo n\, and equitable regional economies.\n\n\nThis talk is open to the MIT co mmunity as well as those from universities or organizations in the greater Cambridge and Boston area.

We show that\, w ith high probability\, the 𝐿∞ norm of\nevery Laplace eigenfunction on 𝑋𝑛 with bounded eigenvalue decays polyno-\nmially in 𝑛.

We introduce a family of posets called \\emph{categorical $n$-associahedra}\, which naturally exten d Bottman's 2-associahedra and the classical associahedra. Categorical $n$ -associahedra give a combinatorial model for the poset of strata of a comp actified real moduli space of a tree arrangement of affine coordinate subs paces. We construct a family of complete polyhedral fans\, called velocity fans\, whose coordinates encode the relative velocities of pairs of colli ding coordinate subspaces\, and whose face posets are the categorical $n$- associahedra. In particular\, this gives the first fan realization of 2-as sociahedra. In the case of the classical associahedron\, the velocity fan specializes to the normal fan of Loday's realization of the associahedron. Time permitting\, we will discuss current investigations of projectivity for velocity fans. This is joint work with Nathaniel Bottman and Daria P oliakova.

After a broad introduction to the content and structure of the course\, I’ll discuss a pedagogical approa ch which guides our active learning discussion sections. Some are delibera tely high-tech\, with custom simulators of dynamical systems. Others are d eliberately no-tech\, with pen on paper\, and chalk on the blackboard.

As a consequence\, the e xamination of warfare is often treated as an adjunct to other areas of inq uiry\, with the result that many well-meaning historians continue to pass along shibboleths long-since discarded by the relatively small number of s pecialists in medieval military history. This is particularly true with re gard to scholarship dealing with the German kingdom because very few non-G erman speaking historians do much work on Germany\, and German-speaking hi storians\, with some notable exceptions\, particularly in Switzerland and Austria\, have eschewed the study of military matters in the period since the Second World War. One particularly important shibboleth\, which still permeates studies of the German kingdom\, is the notion that warfare was d ominated by small numbers of warrior aristocrats who fought on horseback. In this paper\, I will be addressing four major themes that are intended t o illuminate the bankruptcy of this model. These are “knighthood” as a problem of military history\, the reality of warfare in pre-crusade Europ e\, the centrality of sieges and fortifications to warfare\, and finally t he implications of this third fact for our understanding of the scope and scale of warfare\, and the concomitant nature of governmental organization .

My laboratory studies the “instruction manual” behind this feat by asking a deceptively simple question: which cells giv e rise to which\, and when? To answer it\, we tag individual neural stem c ells with unique genetic “barcodes”—inherited by all of a cell’s d escendants—and then use single-cell sequencing to reconstruct family tre es of brain cells at massive scale\, tracing hundreds of thousands of cell s back to their origins in both mouse and human tissue. This approach has let us map where the brain’s two great classes of neurons (the excitator y cells that drive activity and the inhibitory cells that restrain it) com e from\, revealing surprises about how the human cortex expands relative t o other species and how certain neurons continue to be born far later in d evelopment than textbooks predict. By extending the same barcoding logic t o a modified rabies virus that jumps between connected neurons\, we can no w also chart the earliest wiring diagrams of the developing human brain\, including fleeting circuits that exist only transiently before birth. Toge ther\, this work aims to turn brain development from a black box into a le gible\, quantitative program—one whose logic may ultimately explain how small genetic changes tip development toward disease.

However\, we lack direct neural evidence for SSL indu ced visual plasticity and on the nature of internal supervision in the bra in. Here\, we show that primate high-level visual cortex can switch the di rection of learning in individual neurons\, matching the two opposing oper ations invoked in contrastive SSL. Inputs were pushed together in neural r esponses when closely presented during fixation viewing (invariance buildi ng)\, while inputs were pushed apart when saccaded between during free vie wing (discrimination building). Thus\, the biological implementation of th e requisite internal signal relies on the distinction between periods of e ye movement versus fixation to self-supervise visual representation learni ng across natural scenes.\n\nSpeaker Bio: \nI am a systems and computation al neuroscientist studying the neural algorithms underlying high-level vis ion\, visual learning\, and visual cognition. We have focussed on how the geometry of faces\, objects\, and the larger scene is learned and coded b y populations of neurons in the marmoset temporal lobe. We implement obser ved neural phenomena into computational models of vision and utilize behav ioral paradigms to link neural phenomena to visual behavior. Scientists in the lab work at the intersection of neuroscience and machine learning in their research projects.

But the revolution has not happened\, even thoug h highly capable AI models have been available for several years. The arti cle that Professor Maschmeyer presents in this seminar explains why: There is a gap between defense and offense when it comes to the limits on what AI can do. Cyber offense requires creative deception to burrow into system s and produce desired effects before being discovered. Cyber defense\, by contrast\, strives to detect such intrusions before they cause harm. AI mo dels struggle with the creativity and deception necessary for offensive op erations\, but they excel at the pattern recognition that is key for defen sive operations - and this relative advantage of defensive tasks increases as the stakes increase.

Such motives are now known to exist for all exceptional groups\, due to wo rk of Gross–Savin\, Katz\, Dettweiler–Reiter\, Yun\, Patrikis\, Boxer –Calegari–Emerton–Levin– Patrikis–Madapusi Pera\, Guralnick–Lu beck–Yu\, and Faegerman (and possibly others). For all exceptional group s except E6\, families of such motives were known\, but until recently thi s was open for E6. I’ll survey this story\, explain joint work with Krä mer–Maculan constructing families of exceptional E6-motives—arising fr om the classical geometry of cubic 3-folds—and speculate about similar c onstructions for other exceptional groups.

They can help classify political speeches\, identify policy positio ns\, detect misinformation\, and process large collections of documents ac ross languages and contexts. Yet they also raise an important question for social science and policy research: when machine-generated classification s are imperfect\, how can we ensure that the conclusions drawn from them r emain valid? Even when a model has high accuracy\, above 90 percent\, its remaining errors may not be random and can still bias research findings. T o address this challenge\, this talk introduces design-based supervised le arning\, an approach that combines automated annotation with a modest amou nt of expert human coding. It illustrates the approach with examples from research on online political advertising and censorship in China.\n\n \n\n Naoki Egami is an Associate Professor of Political Science at MIT and a Fa culty Affiliate of the Institute for Data\, Systems\, and Society. He spec ializes in political methodology\, with research focusing on causal infere nce\, external validity\, machine learning and artificial intelligence\, a nd network and spatial data. His work has appeared in leading political sc ience and computer science journals\, including the American Political Sci ence Review\, the American Journal of Political Science\, and NeurIPS. In 2025\, he received the Emerging Scholar Award from the Society for Politic al Methodology. Egami earned his PhD in Politics from Princeton University and his BA from the University of Tokyo. Before joining MIT\, he was an A ssistant Professor at Columbia University.\n\n \n\nPlease RSVP here to sig n up for in-person or Zoom attendance.

In this talk\, I will describe a translati onal neuroimaging approach that combines data from 135 mouse models (3\,51 5 mice) with two human MRI cohorts (n = 1\,234 and n = 1\,015) to identify subgroups based on shared patterns of brain anatomy. Rather than reflecti ng conventional diagnoses such as autism\, ADHD\, or OCD\, these subgroups appear to align with a small number of molecular pathways\, including tho se involved in synaptic function\, MAPK/Wnt signalling\, chromatin regulat ion\, and immune-related processes.

Chosen for the quality of their voices\, t hey were dispatched by King João III along the trade routes of the Portug uese Empire. Traveling through Mozambique\, Goa\, and Malacca\, two of the m eventually landed on the shores of southern Japan in 1556\, carrying Cat holic song into a country that would soon outlaw Christianity altogether. Four and a half centuries later\, on the small island of Ikitsuki\, the la st descendants of Japan’s “hidden Christians” still chant prayers wh ose words no longer belong to any singular language and whose melodies sou nd\, to the casual ear\, like Buddhist sutra. In 2018\, UNESCO recognized their villages and churches as World Heritage sites\, but not the endanger ed oral traditions kept alive within them. This talk follows the global li ves of the king’s singing orphans to ask what connects these two worlds and what we stand to lose if we fail to listen before the singing stops.\n \n \n\nAbout the Speaker\nMakoto Harris Takao is an Assistant Professor of Music and the Class of 1957 Career Development Professor at MIT. Working at the intersection of cultural history\, religious studies\, and musicolo gy\, Takao maps Japan’s entanglement with other world regions over the p ast 500 years. His current book project\, The Clef and the Cross: Music an d Kirishitan Transculturation in Sixteenth-Century Japan\, asks what early modern Japanese Catholicism sounded like and how it was understood and ex pressed through Buddhist frameworks of sound\, music\, and movement. His w ork to date has appeared in such venues as Early Music\, Journal of Music History Pedagogy\, Journal of Religious History\, Journal of Jesuit Studie s\, Zeithistorische Forschungen\, and Oxford Bibliographies in Music. A pl ayer of the viola da gamba\, Takao completed a joint PhD in history and mu sicology at the University of Western Australia.\n\n \n\nAbout the Music F orum Series\nThe MIT Music & Theater Arts Music Forum is a series of publi c presentations by music scholars from inside and outside of MIT. Hosted i n the Lewis Music Library and presented in partnership with MIT Libraries\ , the MTA Music Forum Series gives the MIT Community an opportunity to eng age with leading voices in every field of music scholarship.

Collaboration can unsettle these privileges. By bringing researchers together it reshap es the questions we ask\, the evidence we value and the histories we are a ble to write.\n\nTaking the Feminist Architectural Histories of Migration project as a point of departure\, we reflect on collaboration as both a fe minist practice and a mode of historical inquiry. Drawing on our shared wo rk\, as well as subsequent projects developed with artists\, designers\, a rchivists\, communities and fellow researchers\, we consider how collabora tive methods have transformed our scholarship.\n\nRather than presenting c ollaboration as an exception to scholarly practice\, the lecture argues th at it is a way of producing more generous\, situated and critically engage d architectural histories. Looking back at one collaboration and forward t o many others\, it asks what kinds of historical knowledge become possible when research is understood as a collective endeavour.\n\nRachel Lee\nRac hel Lee is Assistant Professor in the Department of Architecture at TU Del ft. Her research explores colonial and postcolonial architecture and urban ism\, migration\, gender and heritage\, with a particular interest in how architectural histories are researched\, written and shared through archiv es\, collaboration and material culture. Her work spans archival research\ , oral history\, exhibitions and digital publishing\, developing collabora tive approaches to architectural history. Her work includes Feminist Archi tectural Histories of Migration\, a long-term collaboration with architect ural historian Anooradha Siddiqi\; Planted!\, a collaborative digital arch ive tracing the global histories of a colonial chair\; Sourcery!\, a resea rch platform exploring new archival methods and knowledge infrastructures for architectural history\; and ongoing research on the architect Otto Koe nigsberger.\n\nAnooradha Iyer Siddiqi \nAnooradha Iyer Siddiqi is an art a nd architectural historian of Africa and South Asia\, Associate Professor at Barnard College\, Columbia University\, and Visiting Scholar at the Har vard University Hutchins Center for African and African American Research. Her work narrates global migration and displacement\, racial and environm ental justice\, and colonial and postcolonial spatial politics through his torical research on significant structures and figures little recognized a s purveyors of political\, social\, and aesthetic value. Her historical re search on architecture\, craft\, settlement\, land\, and experiences of mi gration and territorial partition draws from two monographs\, Architecture of Migration: The Dadaab Refugee Camps and Humanitarian Settlement (Duke University Press\; 2026 Society of Architectural Historians Alice Davis Hi tchcock Book Award\, 2025 African Studies Association Best Book Prize Hono rable Mention) and Ecologies of the Past (in progress).

Recent foreign policy developments\, however\, have renewed debate ove r its usefulness. These include the scaling back of established instrument s that have helped generate U.S. goodwill and influence abroad\, such as h umanitarian and global health assistance\, educational programs\, and open ness to international students. This talk analyzes how soft power operates in practice and asks: Is the United States retreating from it\, or can it be reinvented for a 21st-century world of rapid technological change and great-power competition? And does the United States still have the credibi lity and institutional capacity to deploy it effectively?\n\nRichard M.

In this talk\, I share my lessons from 10+ years of experience i mplementing both fully flipped and partially flipped models across a range of mathematics courses at the Colorado School of Mines\, including Calcul us II\, Linear Algebra\, Foundations of Advanced Mathematics\, and Topolog y. I discuss how different flipping choices supported student learning\, h ow the model scales to multi-section courses\, and how I addressed some of the challenges that emerged. Rather than advocating for a single model\, this talk emphasizes intentional\, flexible flipping strategies that can b e adapted to instructors’ own goals and constraints.\n\n \n\nZoom link: https://cornell.zoom.us/j/92415199317\n\nZoom Link Password: olsume\n\nFor more information on OLSUME: https://olsume.org/ LAST-MODIFIED:20260819T182824Z URL:https://calendar.mit.edu/event/online-seminar-on-undergraduate-mathema tics-education-4447 X-SOURCE-NAME:Events Calendar Calendar X-SOURCE-URL:https://calendar.mit.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:MIT Free English Class:Tues & Thurs 1pm for International Students & Spouses DTSTART:20261103T180000Z DTEND:20261103T193000Z DTSTAMP:20260902T183454Z UID:tag:localist.com\,2008:EventInstance_53867724660651 CATEGORIES:education DESCRIPTION:MIT Free English Class is for international students\, sholars \, spouses.

The common marmoset is well suited to closing this gap: it is highly social\, genetically tractable\, and available as a tran sgenic model of autism risk genes. What has been missing is a way to recor d brain-wide activity while a marmoset behaves.\n\n \n\nI will present a f unctional ultrasound imaging (fUSI) platform we developed for awake marmos ets\, in which a section of skull is replaced with an acoustically transpa rent implant\, giving volumetric access to cortical and subcortical struct ures at ~150 µm resolution. Combined with a marmoset whole-brain vascular reference map and an automated registration pipeline\, this lets us compa re activity in roughly 50 atlas-defined regions across sessions and animal s.\n\n \n\nUsing this platform\, we find that a live social partner evokes substantially stronger and more spatially extensive activation than video of that same partner\, establishing live interaction as a more powerful d river of social brain activity in this preparation. Finally\, I will discu ss extending this approach to transgenic marmoset models of autism\, to as k which brain-wide network signatures are altered and whether they can ser ve as circuit-level biomarkers.\n\n \n\nBio: Chaoyi Zhang is a postdoctora l in the laboratory of Guoping Feng at the McGovern Institute for Brain Re search\, MIT. He received his PhD in Neurobiology from Zhejiang University in 2022 and joined MIT in 2023. His research develops functional ultrasou nd imaging for brain-wide functional network mapping in behaving marmosets \, with a translational focus on autism spectrum disorder. He established the chronic acoustic transparent cranial window for volumetric functional ultrasound in a non-human primate\, together with the registration and ana lysis pipeline required for group-level comparison across animals. His cur rent work applies this platform to social behavior and to transgenic marmo set models of autism risk genes\, with the goal of identifying circuit-lev el network signatures that translate between animal models and human patie nts.

Will coordination mean that certai n people just don’t teach that course? Do people just have to get on boa rd\, like it or not? Who has a say\, and how? Do some faculty just get to opt out of the whole endeavor? Perhaps most importantly\, how do we remain in collegial dialogue when we’ve decided to do this but don’t agree o n all aspects of implementation? This session will not answer these questi ons.

T he new construction admits two equivalent formulations: one in terms of ra ndom filters in snake posets and the other in terms of random dimer covers of snake graphs.\n\nI'll begin with a combinatorial approach to Stern's d iatomic series and the Calkin–Wilf bijection via finite snake graphs\, a nd then construct q-deformed rational numbers by introducing an activity p arameter q into the model. For irrational values of x\, the construction r equires passing from finite to infinite snake graphs\; the main technical step is to show that the associated limiting probability measures are well defined.\n\nThe resulting q-deformation satisfies [[x]]_1 = x for all x>0 . There's evidence that\, wherever both [x]_q and [[x]]_q are defined\, [[ x]]_q = q [x]_q. For more details\, see arXiv:2607.14332.

As stewards of the existing material repository contained in our citie s\, CO Adaptive aims to increase the resilience and reusability of all tha t already surrounds us. \n\nTheir talk will engage the breadth of the prac tice’s work—from adaptive reuse projects and high-efficiency retrofits to material salvage operations\, remanufacturing\, and design for disasse mbly. These projects yield a critical perspective on how buildings and mat erials re-engage in their next iteration of use\, working towards a realit y in which extractive and depleting habits are replaced by a circular libr ary of abundance.\n\nCO Adaptive is an unbuild-design-build practice found ed by Ruth Mandl and Bobby Johnston in 2011. Initially it was started as a n architecture practice\, focused on retrofitting existing building stock to create energy efficient\, climate resilient and spatially beautiful env ironments. \n\nTo have a greater impact on the process of taking old build ings apart—emphasizing deconstruction\, and shaping attitudes about “w aste”—CO Adaptive Building was established in 2021 and CO Adaptive Dis assembly in 2026. The attention of all three intertwined practices is on c onverting existing buildings from a linear economy to a circular one.\n\nC O Adaptive’s work has received numerous awards and recognition\, includi ng winning the Architectural League’s Emerging Voices 2026\, A|N’s 20 25 Best of Practice Award\, and the 2025 Trust for Governors Island Climat e Solutions Challenge. Their adaptive reuse project for The Mercury Store was featured in MoMA’s Inaugural New York New Publics exhibition and wo n the MASterworks Design Award for Adaptive Reuse in 2023. Ruth and Bobby are frequent lecturers on circular design\, have taught a graduate design studio at Columbia GSAPP\, and are excited to be teaching a studio at MIT this fall.\n\nThis lecture will be held in person in the Sidara Auditorium (W41- 1216) and streamed online on YouTube.

First\, air s uperiority is necessary for victory\, winning the contest for the medium a nd high-altitudes—fighter against fighter\, and fighter against surface- to-air missile—enables strategic attack\, and strategic attack compels p olitical concessions. Second\, once that contest is won\, whatever still t hreatens from below it is a force protection problem\, a matter of defendi ng aircraft on the ground and personnel\, rather than a continuing contest for control of the air. The U.S. war with Iran tested both propositions —and both failed. The United States achieved and maintained air superior ity as the theory defines it\, using it to strike the full range of strate gic targets\, including Iran’s senior leadership. Yet these attacks neit her produced operational or strategic paralysis nor compelled political co ncessions. Instead\, while the United States controlled the blue skies\, I ran denied the air littoral—the low-altitude airspace\, e.g. typically b elow 15\,000 feet—using dispersed\, numerous\, and mobile missiles and d rones to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed and end the war on Iranian terms . This talk develops an alternative theory of air control centered on the air littoral and air denial\, emphasizing distributed rather than integrat ed air defense\, and explores the implications for airpower theory\, U.S. strategy\, and force design.

This fu ndamental question lies at the heart of cognitive flexibility\, learning\, and resilience across the lifespan. In this lecture\, I will discuss how neuromodulatory systems—including dopaminergic\, cannabinoid\, and neuro immune signaling—provide the molecular and circuit logic that governs pl asticity across development\, experience\, and disease. Integrating geneti c circuit mapping\, in vivo imaging\, electrophysiology\, molecular profil ing\, and causal circuit manipulation\, I will present recent work uncover ing how neuromodulators reshape neural circuits across multiple timescales to support adaptive behavior.

In this seminar\, Professor Irajpanah presents research th at suggests changing beliefs about guerrilla warfare\, responding to emerg ent decolonial politics of the late nineteenth century\, facilitated this phenomenon. The research examines this argument through an exploration of extra-\, intra-\, and inter-state wars from 1816 to 2022. Professor Irajpa nah will qualitatively illustrate the normative trajectory of guerrilla wa rfare through two discussions: rebel debates during the Philippine-America n War (1899-1902) and cross-temporal perceptions of guerrilla warfare by r evolutionary socialist leaders.

Spatial representations have been identified in the hippocampal form ation and in other cortical and thalamic regions. However\, studies focusi ng on different regions used different methods to distinguish spatial repr esentations from other correlated signals. It is thus not known whether th ese regions – and other regions – carry similar representations.\nTo a nswer these questions\, we recorded neurons across the brain in mice navig ating a virtual corridor that decoupled position from other incoming signa ls. Most neurons were modulated by running speed\, likely reflecting arous al. Many were also modulated by sensory signals and reward. Spatial positi on was represented most precisely and uniformly in hippocampus\, but was n onetheless encoded in a similar percentage of neurons across regions. Spat ial position and other navigational signals are thus represented widely\, albeit not uniformly\, across the brain.\nThese findings raise the questio n of when and where such distributed representations originate\, a questio n I am now pursuing. To do so\, I developed tools to track the same neuron s across week- to month-long recordings\, which I will use alongside causa l perturbations to trace the emergence of these representations across the brain.\n\nBio: Enny van Beest is a Senior Research Fellow at University C ollege London\, working with Matteo Carandini and Kenneth Harris.
