ABCA1\, an ATP-binding cassette transporter regulating li pid efflux and APOE lipidation\, and RXR/LXR nuclear receptors\, which coo rdinate lipid sensing and metabolic adaptation\, represent convergent node s controlling metabolic and inflammatory glial responses to amyloid pathol ogy. This thesis investigates how the ABCA1–RXR–APOE axis functionally integrates lipid-metabolic and neuroinflammatory remodeling in microglia and astrocytes.\nWe first performed integrated scRNA-seq\, snATAC-seq\, Ch IP-seq\, and transcription factor footprinting on APP/PS1 mice treated wit h the RXR agonist bexarotene. RXR activation initiated hierarchical transc riptional cascades: direct RXR binding at accessible chromatin recruited s econdary transcription factors (Nfatc2\, Egr1\, Creb3l2)\, which propagate d through tertiary networks controlling lipid metabolism and stress respon ses. Then\, we examined ABCA1 deficiency using scRNA-seq on microglia and astrocytes from APP/PS1 mice\, integrated with lipidomics and proteomics a pproaches. Loss of ABCA1 remodeled the microglial landscape\, expanding di sease-associated microglia (DAM) population through both additive effects and context-dependent synergistic transcriptional programs. ABCA1 insuffic iency suppressed biosynthetic and ribosomal programs while sustaining infl ammatory activation. Astrocytes responded through distinct transcriptional remodeling of lipid export pathways\, revealing a cellular division of la bor wherein microglia sense lipid availability while astrocytes coordinate systemic lipid distribution.\nThis study establishes the role of ABCA1– RXR axis as a regulatory hub controlling glial lipid sensing\, metabolic a daptation and inflammatory responses in AD. ABCA1 functions as a lipid-sen sing checkpoint that couples lipid availability to microglial biosynthetic capacity and inflammatory tone. RXR acts as a ligand-activated integrator coordinating metabolic and immune responses\, upregulating ABCA1 itself a nd restoring lipid-dependent glial competence. These findings reveal that metabolic dysfunction and neuroinflammation are mechanistically coupled th rough this axis\, providing rationale for metabolic-anti-inflammatory ther apies as integrated strategies in AD\, and establishing the ABCA1–RXR– APOE axis as a rational multi-target for pharmacologic intervention.

Under extern al stimuli\, LCEs exhibit dramatic shape and/or optical changes that can b e utilized in aerospace\, optics\, and medicine. Of specific interest is h ow processing and structure dictate the distinctive\, nonlinear mechanical deformation of these materials. By controlling LCE processing\, we can pr ogram specific curvature and deformation profiles. Here\, we present a met hodology to realize surface-templated\, homeotropic orientation in LCE fil ms\, leading to omnidirectional nonlinear mechanical deformation. To furth er leverage this behavior\, we use inkjet printing as an additive manufact uring tool to localize discrete regions of homeotropic and planar orientat ion within a monolithic LCE element. Localized control of self-assembly an d molecular orientation\, combined with structural design methods\, yields functional materials with a continuous composition but discontinuous mech anical deformation. This approach completely eliminates material-material interfaces\, which are a common source of mechanical failure. Building upo n this work\, we also developed a method to spatially control the alignmen t tilt angle continuously from planar to homeotropic using light. Finally\ , as we transitioned from 2D sheets to complex 3D architectures via hot di rect ink writing (DIW)\, we investigated how processing conditions affect the resulting polymer chemistry\, mechanics\, and ultimately\, actuation p erformance. Overall\, this work enables the creation of tailored functiona l monoliths and architectures with novel\, tunable macroscopic properties (such as negative Poisson's ratios) for applications including flexible hy brid electronics and robust\, shock-absorbing materials.\n\nBio:\nDr. Anes ia Auguste is a Research Materials Engineer at the Air Force Research Labo ratory (AFRL).

Ortiz | Professor\, Kent State University Department of Earth Sciences\n\n\n\nTalk Abstract:\n\nThe mixed pixel problem – the averaging of sensor informat ion over the sensor’s ground sampling distance and instantaneous field o f view – provides a fundamental challenge for optical remote sensing whi ch limits the quality of classification results. A traditional approach to dealing with this problem has been to reduce the pixel size\, which has b een beneficial given the coarse resolution of early sensors and the large inherent spatial scales of terrestrial scenes\, which are dominated by mac roscopic targets\, such as crops and tree canopy. This approach has been l ess helpful in aquatic systems\, where the remote sensing targets (algae a nd suspended sediment) are microscopic in size. Over the past few decades\ , optical sensors have made great technological leaps forward resulting in smaller pixel size and rapidly increasing band count. Those technological changes have also resulted in rapid increases in the size of remote data sets. The transition from low band count multispectral to high band count hyperspectral sensors however carried with it the introduction of signific ant quantities of redundant information. Multicollinearity – the interco rrelation of visible and near infrared bands – is one of the primary sou rces of uncertainty in optical remote sensing. The focus of my research is to explore how numerical methods can be used to address the mixed pixel p roblem and multicollinearity in VNIR remote sensing. The result of that wo rk has been the development of varimax rotated principal component analysi s (VPCA) in conjunction with visible derivative spectroscopy to address th e mixed-pixel and multicollinearity problems. An added benefit to VPCA is that it also serves as a data-adaptive filtering method\, reducing redunda nt data volume to a smaller number of independent components. I will prese nt applications of VPCA by myself and my students to address harmful algal blooms\, map seagrass distribution\, quantify soil organic matter in agri cultural settings and explore the impact of coal mine drainage on algal di versity.\n\nBiography: \n\nWith training in Aquatic Biology from Brown Uni versity (B.S with honors\, 1988) and Oceanography from Oregon State Univ. (Ph.D.\,1995)\, Ortiz is a broadly trained Environmental Scientist who vie ws environmental and societal problems from an earth system science perspe ctive. He works at the interface between sciences unraveling climate myste ries\, exploring the relationship between sedimentary strata\, helping to improve water quality using electromagnetic sensing techniques\, and explo ring renewable energy and sustainability solutions to address anthropogeni c climate change.\n\n \n\nHe makes use of research methods that span disci plines. He studies sedimentary records to extract climate-related informat ion on seasonal to glacial-interglacial time scales. He employes diverse m ethods ranging from marine micropaleontology to light isotope geochemistry and core and well logging to decipher Earth's climate record. Most recent ly\, he makes use of environmental remote sensing to study harmful algal b looms and agricultural remote sensing methods to monitor soil carbon conte nt and evaluate the impacts of various farming practices.

In this talk\, I will present STA-Risk\, a deep learning framework th at explicitly models spatiotemporal asymmetries in longitudinal mammograph y for future breast cancer risk prediction. The framework incorporates sid e and temporal encodings together with an asymmetry-aware learning objecti ve to capture bilateral differences and longitudinal changes across screen ing examinations. I will also discuss challenges in cross-cohort domain sh ift and how joint training across datasets can improve robustness and gene ralization. These findings highlight the potential of explicitly modeling spatial and temporal asymmetries for personalized breast cancer risk asses sment from routinely acquired screening mammograms.\n\nBio: Zhengbo Zhou is a PhD in the Intelligent Systems Program at the University of Pittsburg h\, advised by Prof. Shandong Wu.

The power of worked examples could be magnified by combining th em with self-explanations\, which ask students to explain rather than pass ively study each problem-solving step. The main challenge of this approach is assessing the correctness of the student's explanations. In the curren t approach\, student explanations are judged by their semantic similarity to an explanation provided by an instructor or domain expert. However\, re cent studies of example explanations in the domain of programming demonstr ated that many students express themselves very differently from domain ex perts. In this situation\, a traditional semantic similarity approach migh t introduce bias against students who correctly explain worked examples bu t are considerably different from expert explanations. In this paper\, we use a recently published dataset to compare several explanation-assessment approaches based on semantic similarity with alternative approaches based on direct Large Language Model prompting. Our results show that the use o f Large Language Models enables worked example systems that follow an acti ve learning approach to reduce bias in evaluating example explanations.\n\ n \n\nBio: Arun is a PhD Student in the Intelligent Systems Program at the University of Pittsburgh.

Modern experimen ts addressing this question reveal strong fluctuations and universal behav ior in microbial abundances\, suggesting that this puzzle can be addressed using tools from statistical physics. I will describe several examples of this approach that reveal different mechanisms of resolving the paradox. I particular\, I will describe work with our experimental collaborators\, whose data show that thousands of bacterial populations can coexist in a m ouse tissue. Our minimal model explains the populations' universal abundan ce statistics and suggests that they avoid extinction by forming spatial n iches. This field represents a frontier for statistical physics and in tur n demonstrates that physics approaches can yield fundamental insights for ecology.

That perspective suggests a natural generalization: what if we also lo calize other aspects of inertial structure\, like rotation and scale\, and make them depend on matter dynamically? The resultant theory is uniquely determined up to an overall constant with the dimensions of velocity. It f ails to be Galilean covariant\; investigating this failure allows one to ' bootstrap' up to (local) Lorentz covariance in a manner closely analogous to the bootstrap from magnetostatics to Maxwell's theory and special relat ivity. The resultant theory is equivalent to the first post-Newtonian appr oximation to general relativity.\n\nThis talk will also be available live streamed on:\n\nZoom at https://pitt.zoom.us/j/97060068493\n\nYouTube at h ttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrRp47ZMXD7NXO3a9Gyh2sg.

Compared to adults\, interactions between yo uth and police more often lead to use of force and physical and emotional harm—harms that disproportionately burden the economically poor and Blac k youth who come into contact with police at relatively high rates. Debate s over the proper role of police in managing young people have existed for over a century\, yet there is little consensus as to what the ideal relat ionship between youth and law enforcement should be\, systematic efforts t o alter these relationships have had limited or even perverse results\, an d contemporary phenomena (e.g.\, social media\, teen “takeovers\,” and changing parenting approaches) bring new challenges to youth-police relat ions and reform efforts. This talk brings together developmental science\, historical sociology\, anti-carceral perspectives\, and primary research to make sense of “what works” (and doesn’t work) in implementing pol ice reform for youth. To do so\, Jacobs and co-investigator Murray will dr aw on diverse data sources\, including interviews (n = 26) and surveys wit h police (n = 111)\, and non-participant observation of police training (1 54 hours) in a California county\, sharing preliminary findings from an on going\, mixed methods\, multi-site and multi-year impact and implementatio n study of a law enforcement training program that seeks to improve police -youth interactions. Implications for scholarship and intervention will be discussed.

Health risks are influenced by a complex interplay of lived experience and social realities that influence exposure to stress\, adversity and opportunity across the life course. Wha t happens to us\, around us\, and to the people we know\, affects us. \n\n In this talk\, Dr. Harris shares the personal and scientific motivations b ehind her work\, presents findings from her novel investigation of police violence and cardiometabolic risk among black women\, and discusses future directions for research and intervention. \n\nDr. Harris is a clinical as sociate in the school of nursing and a nursing postdoctoral fellow in the national clinician scholars program at Duke University. Her research focus es on understanding the biological and health consequences of structural i nequities among historically marginalized populations\, with a particular focus on black women. Her work examines the impact of social determinants of health\, chronic stress\, and structural inequities on cardiometabolic health and healthy agin across the lifecourse. Dr. Harris emphasizes cultu rally responsive\, equity-centered approaches to promoting health and well -being.

Vladeck\, Agnes Williams Ses quicentennial Professor of Federal Courts\, Georgetown University Law Cent er\n\n \n\nStephen I. Vladeck is one of the nation's leading scholars on t he U.S. Supreme Court\, constitutional law\, and the federal courts. He is the author of the New York Times bestselling book\, The Shadow Docket\, a nd a frequent legal analyst for CNN\, MSNBC\, NPR\, and other national med ia outlets. His scholarship has been cited by courts across the country\, including the Supreme Court.\n\n \n\nFor most of American history\, the Su preme Court's authority rested not on its independence as such but on a br oad\, diffuse public trust that it was exercising that independence respon sibly — a trust sustained by a continuous\, often unglamorous dialogue w ith Congress over the Court's size\, its calendar\, its budget\, and above all its docket. That dialogue has gone silent. This lecture argues that t he resulting crisis is not that the Court has too much power but that it a nswers to no one for how it uses it\, and that the remedy is neither Court -packing nor jurisdiction-stripping but the patient restoration of interbr anch accountability-because a Court that Americans across the spectrum bel ieve is behaving responsibly is also the only Court strong enough to stop a president who has decided not to listen.

For example\, historic discharge and chemistry trends may not reflect future conditions when the processes that control water storage\, transmission\, and biogeo chemical reactions are fundamentally altered by climate and land use chang e. We demonstrate hydraulic and biogeochemical processes that are most sen sitive to change by comparing watershed discharge and chemistry across var iable spatial and temporal scales\, from long-term (20+ years) trends from watersheds across the United States\, to short-term patterns in individua l watersheds. Specifically\, we infer changing stream chemistry through ch anging stream flow source\, the exposure of new reaction fronts\, temperat ure impacts on solubility\, and anthropogenic impacts such as acid rain an d road salt. Overall\, we highlight the complexity of stream biogeochemist ry\, the importance of long-term data records\, and a need to consider the non-stationary drivers that impact stream hydrologic and biogeochemical p rocesses.\n\nBiography: \n\nSara Warix is an Assistant Professor of Geolog y & Geophysics at the University of Utah\, where she leads a research grou p focused on mountain hydrology and geochemistry in Earth's Critical Zone. Her work spans groundwater-surface water interactions\, stream drying dyn amics\, and solute export across semi-arid western watersheds\, combining field\, lab\, and computational approaches. She completed her PhD at the C olorado School of Mines\, Master's at Idaho State University\, and Bachelo r's at the University of the Pacific.

In the material world\, this transition requires systems that do more than recognize patterns: they mu st reason across scales\, formulate hypotheses\, design and execute invest igations\, learn from failure\, and revise their own representations in re sponse to evidence. This talk presents emerging approaches toward “super intelligent” discovery engines that integrate reinforcement learning\, g raph-based reasoning\, physics-informed neural architectures\, generative models\, and autonomous tools for simulation\, experimentation\, design\, and manufacturing. Particular emphasis will be placed on multi-agent syste ms inspired by collective intelligence in nature\, in which specialized ag ents collaborate\, critique one another\, and continuously improve their s trategies as they solve complex scientific problems. Case studies from mat erials science\, engineering\, and biology will illustrate how these syste ms can uncover hidden structure-property relationships\, generate and eval uate novel material and molecular designs\, connect knowledge across disci plinary boundaries\, and transform scientific failures into new hypotheses and executable knowledge. These advances point toward a new form of artif icial intelligence that actively expands the boundaries of human knowledge .\n\nShort Bio Sketch: Markus J. Buehler is the McAfee Professor of Engine ering at MIT\, a pioneer in AI-driven knowledge discovery and materials sc ience. He created graph-aware\, multi-agent AI platforms that turn heterog eneous data into science-grounded\, actionable insight\, powering breakthr oughs in materials science\, biology\, and healthcare. Buehler is among th e world's most-cited materials scientists and the recipient of numerous ho nors\, including the Feynman Prize\, ASME Drucker Medal\, J. R. Rice Medal \, and the Washington Award. He is a member of the U.S. National Academy o f Engineering\, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry\, and a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE). For more than a decade he has also taught executive and technical professi onals at MIT\, shaping the next generation of leaders in engineering\, kno wledge discovery\, and artificial intelligence.\n\nHost: Dr. John Keith LAST-MODIFIED:20260821T182836Z LOCATION:Benedum Hall\, 102 URL:https://calendar.pitt.edu/event/shiao-hung-chiang-distinguished-semina r-featuring-dr-markus-j-buehler X-SOURCE-NAME:University of Pittsburgh Calendar X-SOURCE-URL:https://calendar.pitt.edu/department/athletics END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Examining Experience Through the Trauma Lenses - September 2026 DTSTART:20260918T140000Z DTEND:20260918T160000Z DTSTAMP:20260730T105711Z UID:tag:localist.com\,2008:EventInstance_53478973042515 CATEGORIES:education DESCRIPTION:This training will demonstrate how to examine specific case in formation through the trauma lenses discussed in “Basic Training in Chil d Trauma”. Utilizing real case information\, we walk through the process of analyzing developmental history\, trauma\, and relationship informatio n from the client to better understand the impact of early traumatic exper iences on their current psychological functioning. The analysis includes i nsights derived from viewing children’s behavior as a non-verbal form of communication. We then consider how this information can inform treatment approaches tailored to each provider’s own setting. Participants will a lso receive information regarding secondary traumatic stress and supports using reflective supervision.\n\n\n\nClick on these logos for details of a vailable continuing education credits.

But this influence is not one-sided. Social beliefs and values shape science\, and at the same time are shaped by scientific find ings. This mutual influence raises the possibility of dynamical interplay between science and society. But while this possibility has been mention ed numerous times in the literature\, there is relatively little work atte mpting to analyze and outline how this mutual influence might work. This talk argues that two-way influence between science and society is promiscu ous\, occurring via a wide range of mechanisms that start with both values and related cultural background beliefs\, and influence both values and r elated cultural background beliefs. I’ll discuss three sorts of general patterns at play—positive feedback\, polarizing feedback\, and amplifica tion.\n\nThis talk will be available online only:\n\nZoom: https://pitt .zoom.us/j/91092965122\n\n YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrR p47ZMXD7NXO3a9Gyh2sg.

Yet\, accord ing to NCTSN\, 30%-50% of caring professionals experience compassion fatig ue or secondary traumatic stress\, often leading to burnout and profession als leaving the field. Much like the traumatic experiences of our clients\ , the secondary stress felt by caring professionals can lead to changes in the way we process and think. \nParticipants will discuss secondary traum atic stress (“STS”) and its relevance to these trends. We will define STS and two related problems\, compassion fatigue and burnout. Then we wil l consider symptoms of these and how to develop resilience through a perso nal “compassion satisfaction plan” that protects their well-being and effectiveness in this work.\n\n\n\nClick on these logos for details of ava ilable continuing education credits.

We generate a high-resolut ion temporal map of events leading to chromatin destabilization and cell i dentity loss in murine embryonic stem cells following dTAG-mediated deplet ion of FACT. Loss of FACT initiates a rapid cascade\, with nucleosome phas ing disruption and reduced H3K4me3 beginning within 10 minutes in a transc ription-dependent manner. This architectural destabilization enables pluri potency transcription factors to ectopically occupy gene bodies. FACT loss results in RNA Polymerase II accumulation within 30 minutes and altered H 3K36me3 deposition preceding a global transcriptional collapse at 2 hours of FACT depletion. FACT restoration fails to rescue these defects\, demons trating they are largely irreversible. Our findings define a temporal hier archy in which FACT loss drives progressive deterioration of chromatin arc hitecture\, leading to transcriptional collapse in stem cells.

Att end in person in room 1008 in the Cathedral of Learning (10th Floor) or v isit our live stream on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrRp47 ZMXD7NXO3a9Gyh2sg.\n\nThe Annual Lecture Series\, the Center’s oldest pr ogram\, was established in 1960\, the year when Adolf Grünbaum founded th e Center. Each year the series consists of six to eight lectures\, about t hree quarters of which are given by philosophers\, historians\, and scient ists from other universities.\n\n \n\nAnnual Lecture Series - Stephan Hart mann\n\n \n\nFriday\, September 25th @ 3:30 pm - 5:30pm EDT\n\n1008 Cathed ral of Learning \n\n \n\nTitle: The Open Systems View\n\n \n\nAbstract: \ n\nQuantum theory is commonly understood as a theory of closed\, isolated systems\, with open systems treated as merely effective descriptions obtai ned by embedding them into larger closed systems. In this talk\, I challen ge this assumption and defend the open systems view\, according to which s ystems interacting with their environments can themselves be treated as fu ndamental. The motivation is both physical and methodological: in central areas of contemporary physics–decoherence\, quantum thermodynamics\, cos mology\, and black hold physics–strict isolation is neither realistic no r clearly defined\, and its privileged status rests on idealizations whose epistemic and ontological roles require closer scrutiny. I present a gene ral framework for open quantum dynamics in which environmental influence i s incorporated directly into the system’s dynamical laws\, without presu pposing an underlying unitary system-environment decomposition\, thereby t reating openness as a basic structural feature of quantum theory rather th an a derivative approximation. I then argue that standard interpretations of quantum mechanics–both orthodox and Everettian–are\, despite appear ances\, already committed to open systems at the ontological level. The op en systems view thus moticates a rethinking of fundamentality\, realism\, and the role of idealization in quantum theory\, and offers a methodologic ally transparent perspective on what quantum theory is fundamentally about .\n\nThis talk is based on joint work with Michael E. Cuffaro (MCMP).\n\n \n\nCan’t make it in-person? This talk will available online through the following:\n\n Zoom: https://pitt.zoom.us/j/99407058272 and \n\nYouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrRp47ZMXD7NXO3a9Gyh2sg.\n\n \n\nAdol f Grünbaum Memorial Lecture\n\nAdolf Grünbaum was the first Andrew Mello n Professor of Philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh from 1960\, when he was hired away from Lehigh\, until his death in November 2018. He was the world preeminent philosopher of physics of his generation\, and he was instrumental in building philosophy and philosophy of science at Pitt. Am ong other things\, Adolf founded the Center for Philosophy of Science in 1 960\, and remained its director until 1978. Adolf also inaugurated the Ann ual Lecture Series in 1961\, and so this is the 66th occurrence of this le cture series.\n\nHis works include very important books such as Philosophi cal Problems of Space and Time (1963) and The Foundations of Psychoanalysi s (1984). In honor and memory of his legacy of prolific and profound contr ibutions to the field of philosophy\, the Center has established an annual Adolf Grünbaum Memorial Lecture thanks to a gift from his daughter Barba ra Grünbaum and her family. We are extremely grateful for this gift. We a re delighted that this year the Adolf Grünbaum memorial lecture will be g iven by Professor Wayne Myrvold.

In this talk\, I will focu s on two distinct types of modality: first\, natural modality\, the sort a ssociated with causation\, laws of nature\, and scientific explanation\; a nd second\, metaphysical modality\, of the sort associated with essences\, semantic externalism\, and grounding explanation. I will present and defe nd a first-order realist\, higher-order pragmatist view of these modal not ions. On this view\, modal notions are backed by real\, in the world relat ions: invariant regularities in the case of natural modals\, and identity- like relations in the case of metaphysical modals. What makes these relati ons modal\, however\, are facts about our inferential practices. A relatio n is modally robust\, on this view\, just in case (and because) it is suit able to back a pattern of truth-conducive deductive inferences. I argue th at this higher-order pragmatic explanation of the modality of these relati ons doesn’t challenge the view’s first-order realism\, but does provid e the view with the resources to solve some of realism’s more intractabl e normative and epistemic problems.\n\nThis talk will also be available li ve streamed on:\n\nZoom at https://pitt.zoom.us/j/94260602832\n\nYouTube a t https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrRp47ZMXD7NXO3a9Gyh2sg.

Unlike purely statistica l prediction\, world models for physical environments must capture the und erlying causal structure of the system: which latent factors correspond to genuine physical mechanisms\, how these factors evolve under intervention s\, and how they govern future observations across changing environments. This motivates a fundamental question: how can an agent learn representati ons that are not merely predictive\, but causally meaningful and therefore suitable for reasoning\, planning\, and adaptation in the physical world? \n\nIn this talk\, we will discuss causal representation learning (CRL) as a principled foundation for building world models of physical systems. CR L aims to uncover latent variables that correspond to the system’s under lying generative factors and to organize them in a way that reflects causa l relationships\, invariances\, and intervention effects. Such representat ions can enable models that extrapolate more reliably beyond the training regime\, support counterfactual and interventional reasoning\, and provide a pathway toward more interpretable and transferable decision-making. We will present our perspective on why causality is essential for world model ing\, outline key challenges in learning causal latent structure from high -dimensional observations\, and highlight emerging directions for integrat ing CRL with dynamics\, control\, and scientific machine learning.\n\nBio: Ali Tajer received a B.Sc. and an M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology\, an M.A. in Statistics\, and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Columbia University.

I aim to understand the c limate variability of the Andes and Amazon basin to better constrain futur e climate change scenarios. While meteorological records rarely extend bey ond the past 100 years\, we can use lake sediment records to expand our kn owledge of how climate has changed over much longer timescales (700\,000 y ears in the case of Lake Junin). Over the past 2.6 million years\, the Ear th’s climate has oscillated between cold periods (glacials) and warm per iods (interglacials). Yet\, most paleoclimate records focus on the Holocen e (~12\,000 years BP)\, but much less is known beyond this time\, because reliable paleorecords of climate extending that far back into time are sca rce\, especially in tropical South America. However\, long sediment cores from Lake Junin in the central Peruvian Andes\, offer the opportunity to r econstruct climate\, (i.e. temperature\, precipitation\, and water stress) over several glacial interglacial cycles\, providing an unprecedented per spective on tropical climate change. In this sense\, studying previous int erglacial periods where controls on climate\, such as greenhouse gas conce ntrations are different\, is a powerful tool for understanding the drivers and consequences of climate change.\n\nHere\, I present a paleoclimate re cord from the Central Peruvian Andes over the past ~22\,000 years. Using m olecular fossils (biomarkers)\, I aim to reconstruct South American Summer Monsoon intensity\, water stress as a response to monsoon dynamics (water balance)\, and changes in temperature. The hydrogen (δ2H) and carbon (δ 13C) isotopic composition of sedimentary plant waxes serve as tracers of m onsoon variability and water balance\, while bacterial membrane spanning l ipids (brGDGTs) serve as a paleothermometer. Finally\, I apply what I have learned from the latest interglacial to constrain monsoon dynamics during time when Earth’s boundary conditions were different (i.e. temperature\ , CO2 in the atmosphere). Here\, I focus on comparing monsoon dynamics bet ween Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 7\, a cool interglacial\, MIS 11\, a warm interglacial\, and MIS 9\, an interglacial with intermediate climate condi tions.\n\nBiography: \n\nLaura is a PhD candidate working with Drs.

First\, general purpose robots\, including humanoids - since they look like us\, occupy our spaces\, and are able to perform tasks in a manner similar to us - have the ability\, at least in t heory\, to completely replace the majority of human-performed tasks. What are the ethical\, legal\, and social implications of this sort of technolo gy? It’s tempting to think that humanity has always faced these sorts of labor pressures\, but is that actually true? Secondly\, humans are not pa ssive observers of our technical decisions and deployments. Most of us wel come some level of automation in our lives (we’re not washing our clothe s in boiling cauldrons these days)\, but also push back against non-human content in the form of “AI slop” on YouTube. We have the opportunity t o ask a more general question: “What do we want from our machines?”. T he hard part is answering it\, but this is something that it won’t be po ssible to be on the sidelines for. While I’ll provide my own answer as p art of this presentation\, the main takeaway will be this: form your own o pinion\, and hold politicians\, industry\, and yourselves accountable.

In this talk\, I f ocus on Strevens’ way of developing and describing the approach in terms of microconstancy and macroperiodicity. These accounts face (at least) tw o major problems: (1) the problem of initial conditions\; and (2) the ques tion of whether systems studied by scientists satisfy the conditions requi red for these accounts to work\, in particular whether the systems are mic roconstant and macroperiodic.\n\nThe aim of the talk is to outline an alte rnative account of physical probability in a deterministic system that is grounded in the dynamics of that system\, without requiring that the syste m is microconstant or macroperiodic\, and without being dependent on the a ctual distribution of initial conditions in some form or other. Like Strev ens\, Abrams\, and Rosenthal\, I think objective probabilities in determin istic systems can be grounded in facts about the dynamics of the actual wo rld. However\, I argue that we should separate out what these facts entail about what would happen over a large class of possible outcomes from what happens in a large class of actual events. Physical probability first and foremost tells us about the former. We can only make inferences about the latter with additional assumptions or information (such as microconstancy \, macroperiodicity\, and facts about initial conditions). However\, as I will show\, the lack of the latter does not entail that objective probabil ities have no significant role to play in science. I focus specifically on the use of probabilities in evolutionary theory. Based on an account I de velop elsewhere\, I argue that probabilities allow biologists to represent the causal difference between natural selection and random genetic drift\ , and that this has implications for what would happen over possible (and perhaps non-actual) conditions. Moreover\, this allows us to distinguish d ifferent roles that probabilities can play in science and what is required for each. Some of these roles might require microconstancy and macroperio dicity\, but others do not. The aim of the talk is to argue that there is a role that objective probabilities can play even when a system is not mic roconstant or macroperiodic.\n\nThis talk will be available online only:\n \nZoom: https://pitt.zoom.us/j/91318992513\n\n YouTube at https://www.yo utube.com/channel/UCrRp47ZMXD7NXO3a9Gyh2sg.

Two major funder s changed how these plans are submitted in 2026: the National Science Foun dation (NSF) now collects the plan through a structured webform in Researc h.gov that is tailored to your directorate\, and the National Institutes o f Health (NIH) replaced its narrative format with a shorter\, mostly yes/n o format page. The underlying expectations have not softened\; the Nationa l Science Foundation (NSF) requires that data supporting funded publicatio ns be shared at the time of publication\, with any exceptions justified in the plan itself.\n\nAttend this workshop to learn how DMPTool\, a free on line resource\, can help you draft\, collaborate on\, and get feedback on your data management and sharing plan (DMSP) before you enter it into a fu nder system. DMPTool now offers templates that mirror the Research.gov web form\, including directorate-specific versions\, along with the 2026 Natio nal Institutes of Health (NIH) format.\n\nUpon attending this presentation \, you should be able to:\n\nList the components of a data management and sharing plan (DMSP) and identify which funder requires which format.Access DMPTool with your University of Pittsburgh credentials.Select the right t emplate for your funder and create a draft.Transfer your draft into the Re search.gov webform or the National Institutes of Health format page.Identi fy a repository that assigns a persistent identifier and explain when your data must be shared.Submit your draft plan for feedback from University L ibrary System (ULS) or Health Sciences Library System (HSLS) librarians th rough DMPTool.Already hold an award? Bring it. Investigators with active N ational Institutes of Health (NIH) awards need a plan in the updated forma t with their next progress report\, and from October 1\, 2026 onward\, cha nges to an approved plan are reported in the Research Performance Progress Report rather than through a prior-approval request.\n\nCan't make it to this workshop?

Josh will be in conversation with the Center's co-director\ , Carla Nappi. \n\nA gull alights on the beach and you find yourself adjus ting your posture to match theirs. Your body has made itself about the gul l\, but in one sense you had nothing to do with it. But one evening you sq uat down and sketch the gull’s likeness in the sand. Now you’ve added something reflexive. We tend to view the two responses as phenomena of dif ferent orders. What if we viewed them as regions on a continuum? What if w e viewed agency\, the felt capacity to act in the world\, as a continuatio n of taxis\, the motor responsiveness common to all life?\n\nFor this even t\, Josh Berson and Humanities Center co-director Carla Nappi consider thi s and neighboring possibilities\, building on Berson’s recent work on th e contextual quality of such things as meanings and selves. At the root of their conversation stands this premise: experiential qualities like agenc y or first-personhood are historical phenomena. We should expect them to v ary depending on when and where we look. And we might even hope to ask: ho w are they changing now?\n\nThis event will be hybrid\, so you can attend it either in person in 602 CL or via Zoom as you prefer. Precirculated mat erial for this colloquium will be available here about two prior to the ev ent.

An adversary can exploit th ese observed actions and responses to infer the underlying belief. This ta lk presents a unifying perspective on sensing as an adversarial inference problem.\n\nWe first consider how hidden beliefs can be reconstructed from observed actions using inverse filtering\, and how information is fused a cross networks through word-of-mouth learning. Extending this viewpoint to networks of interacting large language models reveals a striking phenomen on: endogenous information exchange can create a persistent “glass ceili ng” in influence. We then discuss how revealed preference theory and inv erse reinforcement learning serve as principled tools for inferring utilit y from sensing actions. Finally\, we reverse the perspective: how can a se nsing system conceal its objectives from an adversarial observer while pre serving operational effectiveness? We discuss utility masking and informat ion-theoretic approaches that degrade identifiability while maintaining pe rformance.\n\nBio:\nVikram is a professor in Electrical and Computer Engin eering at Cornell University.

Physical fatig ue provides a powerful example: the same action can feel easy when rested but prohibitively costly when fatigued\, even though its objective require ments are unchanged. In this talk\, I will present a framework for underst anding fatigue as an internal state that reshapes the subjective valuation of physical effort and\, consequently\, decisions about whether to act. U sing behavioral experiments\, computational modeling\, and neuroimaging\, I will show that changes in neuromuscular state systematically increase th e subjective cost of effort\, biasing individuals away from exertion. I wi ll present evidence that a distributed neural network\, including the pref rontal and insular cortices\, integrates information about the body's stat e into the valuation of effortful actions. I will then describe how we are extending this framework to long COVID\, a condition in which persistent fatigue is among the most debilitating symptoms. Individuals with long COV ID exhibit heightened sensitivity to effort costs\, providing a potential mechanism linking persistent fatigue to reduced engagement in everyday act ivities. Together\, these findings position fatigue not simply as a limita tion on what the body can do\, but as an internal state that shapes what t he brain decides is worth doing.

Att end in person in room 1008 in the Cathedral of Learning (10th Floor) or v isit our live stream on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrRp47 ZMXD7NXO3a9Gyh2sg.\n\nThe Annual Lecture Series\, the Center’s oldest pr ogram\, was established in 1960\, the year when Adolf Grünbaum founded th e Center.

Philosophical critiques of psychiatry’s scientific standing frequently treat this hete rogeneity as a liability\, suggesting that without stable objects of inqui ry or unified classificatory kinds\, psychiatry cannot meet the explanator y and interventionist standards typically associated with mature science. This talk challenges that assumption by reconsidering what stability shoul d mean in the context of psychiatric inquiry. Rather than treating stabili ty as a property of diagnostic kinds or underlying mechanisms\, I suggest that it is more productively understood as something achieved through scie ntific and clinical practice. Drawing on work on scientific intervention\, disunity\, and the interactive nature of human kinds\, I argue that psych iatry’s epistemic success does not depend on discovering fixed natural k inds\, but on its capacity to generate locally reliable forms of explanati on\, prediction\, and intervention. More broadly\, this perspective sugges ts that psychiatric stability is achieved through interventions that engag e persons as reflective\, interactive\, and socially embedded targets of s cientific practice.\n\n \n\nCan’t make it in-person? This talk will avai lable online through the following:\n\n Zoom: and \n\nYouTube at https:/ /www.youtube.com/channel/UCrRp47ZMXD7NXO3a9Gyh2sg.\n\n \n\nA reception wit h light refreshments will follow in The Center on the 11th floor from 5-6p m.

What determined whether evasion succeeded: citizenship\, mobility\, local ties\, or the structures of the pursuing states? One crime\, one co hort\, divided by a single border.

A journey through icy\, dri ppy\, wavy Arctic hillslopes \n\n\n\n Presented by Dr. Rachel Glade | Assi stant Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences and Assistant Professo r of Mechanical Engineering\, University of Rochester\n\nTalk Abstract:\n\ nSlowly flowing soil in some of the coldest places on Earth produces large scale features called solifluction patterns that strongly resemble a vari ety of different fluid patterns\, like rainwater flowing down window glass or icing dripping down a cake. We found that despite their striking simil arity\, the physical ingredients needed to form solifluction patterns are distinct from those found in everyday fluids. Perhaps the closest analogou s fluid pattern was only recently discovered—waves formed in oobleck (co rnstarch mixed with water). This requires unique behavior in which the flo w stiffens at the downhill side of bumps\, causing a buildup of material b ehind it and the ultimate formation of waves. Our work\, which includes ma thematical theory and computer modeling\, shows that solifluction patterns form in a similar way due to spatial differences in soil moisture at the front of bumps on the landscape. This demonstrates how patterns in everyda y fluids can be compared and contrasted with complex patterns in sediment to better understand how Earth's surface evolves.\n. \n\nBiography: \n\nDr . Rachel Glade is a geomorphologist who studies sediment transport and lan dscape evolution using a combination of fieldwork\, experiments\, computer modeling\, remote sensing\, and theory. She received her bachelors degree in Geology from The University of Pennsylvania\, her PhD in Geology from The University of Colorado Boulder\, and did a postdoc at Los Alamos Natio nal Lab. She is currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Roch ester with a joint appointment in Earth and Environmental Science and Mech anical Engineering. In 2023 she received the Packard Fellowship for Scienc e and Engineering to make connections between Geomorphology and Soft Matte r Physics.

This seminar will present wearabl e electrochemical biosensing technologies designed to continuously and non -invasively measure biomarkers in passive sweat. The talk will highlight t wo applications. The first examines continuous monitoring of estradiol and progesterone across the menstrual cycle\, to resolve individualized hormo nal trajectories that discrete blood\, saliva\, and urine measurements may not capture. The second explores the concurrent monitoring of cortisol\, melatonin\, interleukin-6\, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha to characteriz e circadian regulation\, stress responses\, inflammation\, and age-associa ted changes. In a 48-hour study\, sweat-based cortisol and melatonin measu rements showed strong agreement with salivary reference measurements. Toge ther\, these studies illustrate how wearable biosensors can move health as sessment from episodic testing toward continuous\, multidimensional phenot yping. The seminar will discuss sensor design\, electrochemical detection\ , analytical validation\, temporal modeling\, and the translational challe nges of converting complex biosignals into meaningful physiological insigh ts. Ultimately\, this work establishes a framework for personalized monito ring across reproductive health\, stress\, aging\, chronic disease\, and p reventive care.

Realizing next-generation m aterials with analogous capabilities requires exploring these feedback loo ps outside of purely biological settings. To motivate this core idea\, I w ill first present an integrated theory of cell migration bridging force ge neration\, mechanics\, and biochemical signaling\, revealing how the mecha nics of filopodial protrusions regulates chemical polarization to sustain locomotion. I will then propose a passive physical feedback loop that util izes the fluid mechanics of viscous flow vortices to design minimal artifi cial analogs of cell filopodia. Next\, I will introduce theory and experim ents on "hydrogel diffusiophoresis\," a soft deformation pathway driven by solute gradients discovered by my group. I will show how it can potential ly close the chemomechanical feedback loop to enable truly active\, tissue -like materials. Finally\, I will present a first-principles geometric the ory of elastic filaments constrained on curved surfaces in a frustrated st ate. Our solution to this problem paves the way for understanding chemomec hanical coupling in biological systems like contractile actin rings on the cell membrane during cytokinesis.\n\n \n\nBio: Nadir Kaplan earned his B.

It rejects ap proaches that rely primarily on a priori reasoning or intuitions disconnec ted from scientific practice\, while recognizing the study of the topics t raditionally under the purview of metaphysics (ontology\, fundamentality\, laws\, space and time\, etc.) as critical for understanding of the pictur e of the world entailed by our best physical theories.\n\n \n\nSpeakers wi ll share research exploring questions related to the following key themes. \n\n1. The analysis of the fundamental properties of putative entities an d the laws of nature governing their behavior\, especially within the part icularly conceptually fraught areas of quantum field theory. While most of the established literature has focused on axiomatic quantum field theory\ , newer approaches are paying more attention to the intricacies of actual model building practices in theoretical particle physics. How do the usual lines of debate regarding particle and field interpretation change in lig ht of these modeling practices\, over and above the mathematical foundatio ns? For both particle and field interpretations\, what do these higher ord er modeling practices entail for our understanding of the fundamental prop erties and law-like behavior of these entities?\n\n2. The nature of scale -dependent\, non-fundamental ontologies and their relationship to putative fundamental ones: Do the various the complexities of current physical the ories and their modeling practices problematize or mesh with traditional n otions of reduction\, emergence\, levels and composition? Can we accept th e possibility of the study of scientific ontology\, without the need for a complete final theory in hand? If so\, what precautionary steps are fitti ng to the ontology of effective\, non-final theories? Does structural real ism provide sufficient precautions? How do the finer details of specific m athematical structures (from the algebraic structure of fundamental intera ctions\, to the group representation structures for matter degrees of free dom) advance or stymie the project of structural realism? \n\n \n\nOrganiz ing Committee\n\nMarian Gilton\n\nAssistant Professor\, Department of Hist ory and Philosophy of Science\, University of Pittsburgh\n\n \n\nAlexandre Silva da Eira\n\nGraduate Student\, Philosophy\n\n \n\nSpeakers\n\nKather ine Brading\n\nProfessor of Philosophy\, Duke University\n\n \n\nEddy Kemi ng Chen\n\nAssociate Professor of Philosophy\, Affiliated Faculty of Halic ioglu Data Science Institute\, Affiliated Faculty of Chinese Studies\, Uni versity of California\, San Diego\, Fellow\, John Bell Institute for the F oundations of Physics\n\n \n\nHans Halvorson\n\nStuart Professor of Philos ophy\, Princeton University\n\n \n\nKerry McKenzie\n\nAssociate Professor of Philosophy\, UC San Diego LAST-MODIFIED:20260819T183200Z LOCATION:Cathedral of Learning\, 1008 - 10th Floor URL:https://calendar.pitt.edu/event/conference-workshop-on-the-naturalized -metaphysics-of-physics X-SOURCE-NAME:University of Pittsburgh Calendar X-SOURCE-URL:https://calendar.pitt.edu/department/athletics END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:ETD Workshop Online DTSTART:20261024T150000Z DTEND:20261024T160000Z DTSTAMP:20260730T105711Z UID:tag:localist.com\,2008:EventInstance_53497501885016 CATEGORIES:education DESCRIPTION:Learn how to format your thesis or dissertation using the Univ ersity’s Microsoft Word template.

These are just some of the remarkable examp les of collective behavior found in nature. Physicists have been able to c apture some of this behavior by modeling organisms as ``flying spins’’ that align with their neighbors according to simple but noisy rules. Succ esses like these have spawned a field devoted to the physics of active mat ter – matter made not of atom and molecules but of entities that consume energy to generate their own motion and forces. Through interactions\, co llectives of such active particles organize in emergent structures on scal es much larger than that of the individuals. Living systems are the paradi gm of such behavior\, but same behavior has also been mimicked in the lab through the engineering a variety of ``active particles’’ that self-as semble to form smart materials.\n\nIn this lecture I will introduce the fi eld of active matter and highlight ongoing efforts by physicists\, biologi sts\, engineers and mathematicians to model the complex behavior of these systems\, with the goal of identifying universal principles. I will specif ically focus on two examples of active behavior. The first highlights how active particles bypass the laws of equilibrium thermodynamics and spontan eously aggregate in the absence of any attractive interactions. The second describes the interplay of flow and topological defects in controlling dy namics and structure of active phases with liquid crystalline order\, with relevance from materials science to biology.

Tru man was thrown into the complex and unfamiliar caldron of the Second World War's end and the murmurings of a new global conflict with the Soviet Uni on. Accordingly\, he commissioned a number of reports evaluating the chara cter of the Soviet threat\, among them George Kennan's famous "The Sources of Soviet Conduct" and Clark Clifford and George Elsey's "American Relati ons with the Soviet Union." These\, along with other reports\, offer inter pretations of Soviet regime behavior informed by the author's own interpre tations of figures like Karl Marx\, G.W.F.

Indeed\, how can one transport charges through a material that is mostly “empty” space? In this sense\, MOFs made fr om layers of organic ligands connected by (typically) square-planar metal ions have shown particularly good electrical conductivity. However\, a pre cise mechanism for charge transport is still the subject of debate\, with various experimental and computational reports describing these materials as metals\, semiconductors\, or semimetals. This lecture will describe the latest efforts from our group to understand the intrinsic properties of 2 D c-MOFs\, especially as related to single-crystal electrical measurement studies and will discuss in particular the unexpectedly large influence of out-of-plane transport. The seminar will also discuss how these fundament al studies have led directly to the discovery of a sustainable\, organic c athode material that is competitive with incumbent oxides in Li-ion and Na -ion rechargeable batteries. \n\n \n\nShort Bio Sketch: Mircea Dincă is the Alexander Stewart 1886 Professor of Chemistry at Princeton University . He grew up in Romania and moved to the United States to pursue his Bache lor’s degree in Chemistry at Princeton University.

Two major funder s changed how these plans are submitted in 2026: the National Science Foun dation (NSF) now collects the plan through a structured webform in Researc h.gov that is tailored to your directorate\, and the National Institutes o f Health (NIH) replaced its narrative format with a shorter\, mostly yes/n o format page. The underlying expectations have not softened\; the Nationa l Science Foundation (NSF) requires that data supporting funded publicatio ns be shared at the time of publication\, with any exceptions justified in the plan itself.\n\nAttend this workshop to learn how DMPTool\, a free on line resource\, can help you draft\, collaborate on\, and get feedback on your data management and sharing plan (DMSP) before you enter it into a fu nder system. DMPTool now offers templates that mirror the Research.gov web form\, including directorate-specific versions\, along with the 2026 Natio nal Institutes of Health (NIH) format.\n\nUpon attending this presentation \, you should be able to:\n\nList the components of a data management and sharing plan (DMSP) and identify which funder requires which format.Access DMPTool with your University of Pittsburgh credentials.Select the right t emplate for your funder and create a draft.Transfer your draft into the Re search.gov webform or the National Institutes of Health format page.Identi fy a repository that assigns a persistent identifier and explain when your data must be shared.Submit your draft plan for feedback from University L ibrary System (ULS) or Health Sciences Library System (HSLS) librarians th rough DMPTool.Already hold an award? Bring it. Investigators with active N ational Institutes of Health (NIH) awards need a plan in the updated forma t with their next progress report\, and from October 1\, 2026 onward\, cha nges to an approved plan are reported in the Research Performance Progress Report rather than through a prior-approval request.\n\nCan't make it to this workshop?

Long swarms (weeks to months) are characterized by a low b-value\, suggesting increased pressure at depth. These are followed by short swarms (hours-days) with higher rates and 30-50 percent VLP event s\, suggesting pulses of magma injection. A case study of Hunga Tonga esti mates the amount of water in the enormous plume and uses this to determine energetics of the eruption.\n\nBiography: \n\nSteve McNutt is a volcano s eismologist who has spent over two decades working with the Alaska Volcano Observatory\, studying some of the world's most active and unpredictable volcanic systems. His research spans an unusually wide range of volcanic p henomena\, including the source and propagation of volcanic tremor\, low-f requency events\, and explosion earthquakes\; the mechanical behavior of v olcanoes (from eruption periodicity to how earth tides\, sea level changes \, and tectonic stress can trigger eruptions)\; volcano infrasound and vol canic lightning.\n\nToday\, Dr. McNutt coordinates volcano seismology rese arch in the Department of Geosciences at the University of South Florida a nd has served as Secretary-General of the International Association of Vol canology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior\, helping shape the field o n a global stage.

Bui lding on Ralph Adams' pioneering work\, we coupled online microdialysis wi th HPLC and electrochemical detection to enable rapid\, near-real-time mul tiplexed neurotransmitter monitoring in behaving animals. For direct sampl ing\, we developed rapid-pulse voltammetry coupled to machine learning. To address waveform design challenges\, we developed a Bayesian optimization workflow to efficiently identify high-information waveforms. Our backgrou nd-inclusive rapid-pulse voltammetry enables simultaneous in vivo monitori ng of dopamine and serotonin\, for example. We provide open-source softwar e\, including SeroWare—an end-to-end platform for data acquisition and a nalysis—that supports a wide range of voltammetry formats\, from pulses to scans. These tools are applicable to a range of electrochemical analyte s\, forming a pipeline for optimizing multi-analyte detection and machine- learning analysis. To extend to non-electrochemically active neurotransmit ters and hormones\, we designed DNA aptamer-based biosensors coupled with field-effect transistors for implantable and wearable monitoring. We inves tigate the effects of transgenerational stress and are developing wearable \, multiplexed biomarker systems for personalized stress insights.

Genetic evolution of clonal cell populations unfolds in time and space in parallel with changing population dynamics of cell types and functional a daptation at the single-cell level of both tumor and non-tumor cell popula tions\, with each part of this process shaping and shaped by the others. P roducing a coherent picture of the complexity of the biology has depended on advances in computational tools concurrent with advances in biotechnolo gy. This talk explores some of these computational directions as we work t o integrate diverse data modalities\, each giving a distinct window into t he biology\, to capture a more complete model of the process of somatic ev olution and its functional consequences. We conclude with a consideration of emerging directions for tackling these problems\, drawing on artificial intelligence\, computationally-driven experimental design\, and their syn thesis into autonomous science.

Museum admission not req uired. \nIn 1530 the Venetian painter Sebastiano del Piombo (1485–1547) chose an unusual surface for a painting of Christ: a large hewn stone. Tre ating the stone as a portable canvas\, Sebastiano created a work of art th at his contemporaries viewed as “almost eternal” and initiated 150 yea rs of a flourishing practice of painting on stone. From slate\, to lapis l azuli\, to amethyst\, painters made dizzying works atop all sorts of stone s. Blending ecocriticism with art history\, this talk examines the ecologi cal\, religious\, and cultural contexts in which this idiosyncratic genre emerged and unearths the hidden labor of stone masons\, international and colonial circuits of exchange\, and the philosophy of the time. \nRegistra tion is required to attend R.W.

In response\, Lapp and colleagues initiated excavations in the cemetery to save pots and other grave goods from also ending up on th e antiquities market. Many of these items now reside at Carnegie Museum of Natural History. Since 2011\, Dr. Morag Kersel and Dr. Meredith Chesson h ave been following Early Bronze Age pots from these same Dead Sea sites. T hey conduct pedestrian and drone surveys\, use archival resources\, and co llect ethnographic interviews to trace how these vessels have moved\, and to reconstruct their social\, economic\, and political meanings from 5\,00 0 years ago to today. \nRegistration is required to attend R.W.
