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.

The first part o f this project explores the concept of moral distress\, arguing that it is best understood along traditionalist lines that emphasize the centrality of external constraints. The second part shifts to a discussion of the rol e of moral distress\, arguing that in some circumstances a certain degree of moral distress is fitting and appropriate\, to the point where it would be more concerning to imagine a world in which people responded to simila rly unfavorable situations in a more blasé fashion.

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.

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.

To do so safely and efficiently\, they must reason about how people move and interact. In domains like driving\, social navigation\, and aviation\, a common approach is to learn models of human motion directly from recorded data and use the resulting priors to inform downstream systems like simulators and planning stacks.\n\nDespite the growing availability of datasets\, benchmarks\, and modeling technique s\, state-of-the-art methods remain unreliable for real-world deployment\, often generalizing poorly to novel environments and rare events. Much of this stems from recorded datasets covering few environments and few safety -relevant events relative to what a deployed system will ultimately encoun ter. Broadly\, the field has addressed this in four main ways: validating autonomy stacks on the road\, collecting more data\, synthesizing relevant scenarios\, and adapting at test time. These are all valuable and necessa ry strategies\, but each is bounded by risk\, cost\, the sim-to-real gap\, or the difficulty of reliably detecting and adapting to a shift\, respect ively.\n\nThese strategies share the premise that the data we hold is insu fficient. This dissertation argues that such data is also underexploited a nd thus pursues a complementary direction\, asking how much actionable sig nal existing datasets already contain but current practice overlooks. We d o so through a recurring paradigm we call scenario characterization: descr ibing a scenario in terms of a property of interest and acting on that des cription downstream. We use this paradigm in three ways. The first is for guidance and abstraction\, shaping what a model trains or optimizes. The s econd is for mining and benchmarking\, determining what a model trains on and what is withheld to test it. The third is for analysis\, fixing the ba sis on which results are studied. We apply these uses across two settings: in-distribution generalization\, which draws mainly on guidance and abstr action\, and generalization under distribution shift\, which draws on all three and is where the main contributions concentrate.\n\nWe further argue that evidence for generalization is typically gathered only within a sing le domain\, so a claim that holds there is rarely challenged elsewhere. Th is is largely because\, outside autonomous driving\, no motion domain offe rs comparable infrastructure and scale. This dissertation therefore contri butes aviation as a testbed\, introducing a large-scale framework and data set for airport surface movement forecasting. \n\nThrough this framework a nd our experimental settings\, we expose generalization failures that woul d otherwise have remained hidden in aggregate metrics. We also enable read ing aviation and driving on a common basis\, hinting at what transfers and what does not. Finally\, we also provide early evidence that the signal r ecovered through our framework may help systems gain the risk awareness ne eded to handle real-world critical events.\n\nThesis Committee\nJean Oh (C o-chair)\nJonathan Francis (Co-chair)\nSebastian Scherer\nAndrea Bajcsy \n Alexandre Alahi (EPFL)\n\nIn Person and Zoom: \nhttps://cmu.zoom.us/j/9692 5451303?pwd=aMhFi3znp3uW88q68RJ0OEzLbb6Tde.1&jst=2 Participation.

In practice\, methods to improve robustness of ML models to distribution shift are frequently heuristic and require considerable si de information about the shifted (target) test distribution to be effectiv e. In theory\, fundamental questions like why ML models are initially brit tle to distribution shifts\, how to best mitigate this brittleness\, and h ow much target data is required for this mitigation remain open.\n\nIn thi s talk\, we put distributional robustness under the microscope by studying the “group robustness” setting - where data is comprised of majority and minority groups whose relative proportions shift between training and test time. We present two case studies:\n\n - On the empirical side\, we s how that simply retraining the last layer of state-of-the-art neural netwo rks on a class-balanced held-out set is surprisingly effective - even if t he held-out set remains sizably group-imbalanced - on well-established gro up robustness benchmarks. We also present a data-driven\, active learning- inspired methodology to select and upweight minority group examples which achieves comparable group robustness on these same benchmarks to state-of- the-art methods that do require group labels. \n - On the theoretical side \, we provide the first end-to-end analysis showing that shallow neural ne tworks learn a simpler spurious correlation and suppress the true (core) p redictor. We consider the core predictor to be the nonlinear XOR function while the spurious correlation is linear. Our analysis and techniques reve al a striking phase transition between the situations of “extreme” cor relation and “moderate” correlation\, and could explain the success of existing robustness-advancing methods as well as inspire new ones.\nThis is joint work with Tyler LaBonte\, John C.

Yet\, the cellular and mole cular mechanisms underlying endothelial responses during vascular regenera tion remain poorly defined. Zebrafish uniquely combine conserved regenerat ive mechanisms with extensive transgenic resources and long-term live imag ing capabilities\, enabling dynamic analysis of repair in vivo. We establi shed an adult zebrafish cutaneous wound model that pairs rotary tool injur ies with cellular-resolution longitudinal imaging to define vascular repai r dynamics. Live imaging revealed a temporal sequence of wound healing\, w ith neutrophil recruitment initiating within hours and peaking by one day\ , macrophage activity and vessel regrowth increasing between 1-4 days\, an d vascular remodeling continuing over months. Aging disrupts this response \, with aged fish exhibiting accelerated neutrophil recruitment but delaye d vascular regrowth.\n\nTo define the molecular programs underlying endoth elial responses during repair\, we utilized AngioTag transgenic fish for c ell-type-specific TRAP-RNAseq profiling of the endothelial translatome acr oss wound healing stages. Profiling revealed distinct temporal phases of v ascular repair\, including early inflammatory activation (0-2dpi)\, angiog enic migration and proliferation programs (2-4dpi)\, vascular remodeling a nd extracellular matrix interactions (4-7dpi)\, and matrix maturation and resolution-associated signatures (7-15dpi). Defining these transitions pro vides a framework for linking dynamic endothelial behaviors observed by li ve imaging to the underlying molecular programs that coordinate vascular r egeneration. Together\, these approaches establish a temporal atlas of end othelial regenerative states\, revealing how endothelial responses are dyn amically regulated during regeneration. This framework provides insight in to the molecular basis of impaired vascular repair with age and highights potential new avenues for therapeutic interventions.\n\nFaculty Host: Nate Lord (PITT)\n\nIn Person and Zoom: \nhttps://pitt.zoom.us/j/97970563600 P articipation.

TMEM16A is found in a variety of cell types\, including airway epithelia and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs)\, whe re it functions in mucosal secretion or cell contraction\, depending on ce ll type and location. In VSMCs\, the efflux of Cl- through TMEM16A channel s leads to the contraction of arteries. TMEM16A has recently emerged as a molecular target of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)\, in the cardiovascular system. NSAIDs are known to induce an increase in blood pr essure through COX enzyme inhibition\, which can lead to secondary effects including heart attack or stroke. However\, the full picture of how NSAID s influence vascular health remains incomplete. By studying NSAID regulati on of TMEM16A\, we can better understand their cardiovascular effects. I a m focusing on the fenamate subclass of NSAIDs\, which share a parent struc ture and differ in their substituents. Here I examine niflumic acid (NFA)\ , a broadly studied fenamate with contested mechanisms of TMEM16A inhibiti on. To date\, I have collected data using excised inside-out patch-clampin g on Xenopus laevis oocytes\, a method enabling COX-independent investigat ion of NSAID regulation. I found that NFA inhibits TMEM16A with dose-depen dency and exhibits characteristics of a pore-blocking drug. I also want to define the structural components that drive fenamate inhibition of TMEM16 A and affect its potency. I found that another fenamate\, flufenamic acid (FFA)\, inhibits TMEM16A like NFA at equivalent concentrations\, but shift s the reversal potential by ~10 mV at 100 µM despite structural similarit y with NFA. Further characterization of these mechanistic and structural f eatures will provide physiologically relevant insights into how fenamate N SAIDs regulate TMEM16A and contribute to cardiovascular risks.\n\nJulia Ro se\nTitle: Shaping a chaperone: the co-occurrence of PrsA2 and the pore fo rming toxin LLO \nAbstract: Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) is a Gram-positive bacterium found within the environment as a saprophyte but maintains the ability to become a facultative intracellular pathogen\, deadly to vulnera ble populations. Infection occurs via secreted virulence factors which all ows the bacterium to invade host tissues. Lm encodes a secreted chaperone\ , PrsA2 that is critical for the activity of secreted virulence factors in cluding the cholesterol-dependent pore-forming toxin\, listeriolysin O (LL O). PrsA2 has been shown to directly associate with and protect LLO during infection conditions\, and PrsA2 is required for the full functionality o f LLO. While a relationship between PrsA2 and LLO has been established\, i t remains to be seen how PrsA2 clients and environmental conditions shape the chaperone. To answer this question\, we explored the evolution of both PrsA2 and LLO in annotated strains\, to determine whether genetic diversi ty can be used to gain insight into the molecular mechanisms used between PrsA2 and LLO. We generated bioinformatic data separating PrsA2 and LLO in to distinct clades based on their sequences and determined the percentage of interaction between each PrsA2 and LLO clade. To confirm these percenta ges and visualize how evolution made this interaction more favorable\, we used biophysical experiments and structural analysis. We hypothesize that by relying on the genetic diversity of both proteins\, we can further eluc idate the mechanism by which PrsA2 interacts with LLO and have a deeper un derstanding on if the chaperone is shaping the client or if the client is shaping the chaperone.

These ecosystems are powerful\; however they often impose con straints on their users\, leading to rigid interfaces that fail to adapt t o how creators want to work. Existing tools can limit a creator’s abilit y to realize ambitious ideas\, offer inadequate mechanisms for communicati on between creators and their audiences\, and provide interfaces that do n ot align with how creators naturally express their preferences. The first half of this thesis explores these misalignments through the development o f data-driven tools\, resulting in three systems that expand the design po ssibilities in mobile augmented reality\, create novel mechanisms for stre amer-audience engagement on live streaming platforms\, and support video c reators in expressing musical preferences through a vibe-based creative as sistant. Taken together\, my work on these projects revealed that the cont ent creation process produces a wealth of valuable data\, yet this data is often leveraged ad hoc to power isolated features\, as opposed to being t reated as a foundational resource for designing creator-aligned systems.\n \nBuilding upon this realization\, I argue that the future of creativity t ools relies on the deliberate use of Creative Activity Traces as a primary design material. The term Creative Activity Traces refers to the process- related data generated by the creator during their practice\, including ev olving records of ideas\, intermediate artifacts\, and metadata yielded du ring creative work. These traces are often multi-modal\, distributed acros s tools\, and deeply personalized. To understand how the HCI community cur rently works with traces\, I conducted a systematic review of 133 creativi ty tools and developed a preliminary design framework for trace awareness. This review revealed that modern creativity tools either treat activity t races as atemporal raw material\, or utilize them only as needed as input to a specific feature\, thereby limiting both the temporal scope and desig n opportunities possible with traces. Rather than continuing to use traces in this way\, my thesis instead calls for traces to be treated as a desig n material to be engaged with at every stage of the research and developme nt process. This approach in turn leads to adaptive systems that stay alig ned with how creators work and how and their processes unfold\,\n\nThe fi nal phase of this research builds upon my theory of creative activity trac es and trace-aware tools through the study of video content creators' prac tices for creating\, maintaining\, and evolving a recognizable brand acros s video projects. Through a formative study with seven video creators\, I cataloged the traces their practice accumulates over time\, the behaviors associated with their accumulated traces across projects\, and the frictio ns they face as a result of their cross-project practices. This work showe d that traces share temporal characteristics but are not a uniform materia l a designer can treat the same way throughout\, so much as a single mater ial with differing grains and textures. As traces accumulate across projec ts\, they weave into a whole with a shape of its own\, and the individual traces that produced it can be difficult to disentangle into constituent p arts.\n\nThis thesis contributes to HCI and creativity tool research by fr aming creative practice as an inherently data-rich process that requires m ore intentional engagement from the HCI research community. I formalize th e definitions of creative activity traces and trace-aware tools\, and I of fer a design framework for trace-awareness. I show what it means to treat traces as a critical building block for designing creativity tools rather than as a byproduct of creative work. Taken together\, these contributions set forth a trace-aware agenda for the next generation of creativity tool s\, one that keeps creators and their evolving practices in view as digita l creative production grows more automated and uncertain.\n\nThesis Commit tee \nJessica Hammer (Co-chair)\nErik Harpstead (Co-chair)\nNikolas Martel aro\nBryan Wang (Adobe)\nMax Kreminski (Cornell University)\n\nAdditional Information: \nhttps://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1I3Hqr_AkDjIoCrPCRnx Jm1V6S6uDxyb3?usp=sharing\n\nIn Person and Zoom: \nhttps://cmu.zoom.us/j/9 9194878701?pwd=uYiUJ1r6CuSuslhxPBDtb7vrc7FSCQ.1&jst=2 Participation.

The most valuable data is also the most regula ted\, scattered across thousands of hospitals\, banks\, and enterprises th at cannot legally or practically pool it in plaintext. This talk presents a research program aimed at a structure in which using data does not mean surrendering it. I will present results along three complementary threads. First\, private set computation over encrypted data: fully homomorphic en cryption protocols that perform exact private set intersection over a bill ion records distributed across a thousand encrypted silos in about a minut e\, fuzzy (cosine/Hamming) matching over high-dimensional embeddings up to three orders of magnitude faster than prior work\, and the first encrypte d label selection-and-analytics protocol enabling end-to-end encrypted fra ud and AML analytics across thousands of institutions. \n\nSecond\, minima l trusted hardware: we show that naively placing a differential-privacy sa mpler in an SGX enclave lets the host recover over 99% of the noise draws\ , and then design systems in which small\, verified enclaves stay off the hot path — scaling secure federated-learning aggregation to 50\,000 clie nts and making Intel TDX confidential VMs continuously and anonymously att estable at cloud scale. Third\, Web3DB: a decentralized database series in which only an enclave is trusted\, providing owner-defined row-level acce ss control\, near-cloud analytics performance\, and serializable transacti ons over blockchain and IPFS. I will close with a vision that composes the se primitives — policy\, computation\, and evidence layers — into a se cure zero-trust ecosystem for agentic AI. \n\n—\n\nTaeho Jung: \nhttps:/ /sites.nd.edu/taeho-jung/ is an Associate Professor in the Department of C omputer Science and Engineering and the Dennis O.

Many of these myths are causal in nature\, concernin g the consequences of decisions\, interventions\, and changes to practice. While empirical software engineering research frequently investigates the se myths through descriptive\, correlational\, and qualitative evidence\, it rarely engages with the challenging question of whether the evidence ca n actually support the causal claims beneath these myths. In this thesis\, I argue that causal credibility assessments are feasible in empirical sof tware engineering research through explicit articulations of causal theory and assumptions. \n\nTo demonstrate this argument\, this thesis starts wi th an accessible introduction to the modern causal inference toolkit for s oftware engineering researchers. Then\, across three empirical studies\, I demonstrate how causal credibility assessments can reveal systematic gaps between practitioner beliefs and empirical reality. First\, using counter factual analysis and simulations on npm dependency data\, I challenge the myth that pinning dependency versions improves project security\, showing that it paradoxically increases attack exposure unless upstream packages p in their own dependencies. Second\, through a longitudinal analysis of Git Hub starring patterns with panel regression models\, I challenge the myth that fake GitHub stars provide sustainable promotional benefits\, showing instead that these artificial signals become long-term liabilities. Final ly\, using a difference-in-differences design with staggered adoption\, I challenge the myth that AI coding tools unambiguously improve developer pr oductivity\, finding that Cursor's initial velocity gains are offset by su stained accumulation of technical debt. In each study\, I assess the credi bility of causal claims through the following four-step framework: (1) der iving an explicit causal theory from software engineering domain knowledge \, (2) defining the causal estimate of interest and specifying the assumpt ion under which the estimate carries a causal interpretation\, (3) honestl y acknowledging and mitigating limitations and known caveats\, and (4) tho ughtfully navigating alternative explanations. Collectively\, this thesis provides a methodological blueprint for future empirical software engineer ing research\, illustrating how to balance rigor with practicality to gene rate actionable\, trustworthy evidence for software engineering myths.\n\n Thesis Committee\nBogdan Vasilescu (Co-Chair)\nChristian Kästner (Co-Chai r)\nRohan Padhye\nNarayan Ramasubbu (University of Pittsburgh)\n\nAddition al Information: \nhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1wxA64qUObJNjHA1ohpbEAac XNwjvOFZs/view?usp=sharing\n\nIn Person and Zoom: \nhttps://cmu.zoom.us/j/ 98986602529?pwd=TebAeHUnalQkqAanMn5Udx96tR1fMd.1&jst=2 Participation.

Learni ng these capabilities directly from pixels is challenging\, especially whe n the number and arrangement of objects can change from one scene to anoth er.\n\nIn this talk\, I will present Deep Latent Particles (DLP)\, a self- supervised object-centric representation that describes a visual scene as a set of compact latent particles. Each particle captures the location and visual properties of a discovered object or object part\, providing an in terpretable bridge between raw images and multi-object decision-making.\n\ nI will show how DLP can serve as a representation for learning robotic po licies from online reinforcement learning\, offline data\, and demonstrati ons. In particular\, policies built on these representations can generaliz e compositionally to scenes containing more objects than were present duri ng training.\n\nI will then introduce Latent Particle World Models (ICLR 2 026 Oral)\, which learn to predict how collections of latent particles evo lve over time. These object-centric world models support multi-view observ ations and flexible conditioning\, enabling prediction and decision-making in rich visual environments. I will discuss how this perspective connects to diffusion-based policies and world action models (WAMs)\, and conclude with a look toward self-supervised 3D object-centric learning for robots that can perceive\, predict\, and act in three-dimensional worlds. and whi ch will be quietly subsumed by the next scale-up.\n\n—\n\nTal Daniel: ht tps://taldatech.github.io is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Carnegie Mellon Univ ersity’s Robotics Institute\, working with Prof. Deepak Pathak and Prof. David Held.

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.

It is highly plausible that a better understanding of the relationships between WFT and DFT could lead to important new concepts tha t benefit both areas. This talk will describe our group’s endeavors to b ridge the two realms\, particularly by looking into connections between hi ghly accurate WFT and the quantum potentials of Kohn Sham theory. In parti cular\, I will introduce novel inverse Kohn-Sham approaches that convert f ull configuration interaction wavefunctions into relevant DFT quantities. Extensions of these ideas to time-dependent CI and KS theories will be des cribed\, time permitting. Prospects for new density functional approximati ons will be discussed\, including an example of a data-driven machine lear ning DFT model built upon inverse data.\n\nSee more of Dr. Zimmerman's res earch on his website: https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/zimmerman-lab/ LAST-MODIFIED:20260912T122639Z LOCATION:Chevron Science Center\, 154 URL:https://calendar.pitt.edu/event/paul-zimmerman--seminar?utm_source=cal discovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=pittsburgh-pa X-SOURCE-NAME:University of Pittsburgh Calendar X-SOURCE-URL:https://calendar.pitt.edu/department/athletics END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Community of Innovators DTSTART:20260922T193000Z DTEND:20260922T210000Z DTSTAMP:20260916T063405Z UID:tag:localist.com\,2008:EventInstance_53383186547462 CATEGORIES:community,education DESCRIPTION:The Pitt Community of Innovators brings together early-stage i nnovators working in life sciences-related fields to address unmet needs a nd challenges in human health and disease.\n\nHosted by the University of Pittsburgh's Office of Innovation & Entrepreneurship (OIE)\, this communit y connects researchers with technology commercialization experts\, startup advisors\, and external experts through educational programming\, mentors hip\, and networking opportunities.\n\nAs a member\, you'll have access to resources that can help accelerate translational research\, strengthen co mmercialization strategies\, and increase your competitiveness for future funding.\n\nAny Pitt faculty or staff member is welcome to participate.

You can fix a bike using the bicycle tools and parts available at Free Ride\, or you can buy used bicycles and parts.  Designated Volunte er Staffers are on-hand if you have questions about how to do a repair – but Free Ride is a ‘Do It Yourself’ Shop.  Our goal is to let people get comfortable repairing bikes\, experimenting with new tools and helpin g them learn mechanics.  Please hold us to this – we do not want to ‘take tools out of hands’ or give unsolicited repair advice. If you en joy helping people with bikes and bike-repair questions – and would like to do this during Open Shop – please consider becoming a Free Ride ‘S taffer’.  We are always looking for new volunteers.There is a $5 fee to use the shop for repairs – waived if you have an Access Card\, also pay able with Volunteer-Credit.We do not take donated items in exchange for us ed items in our stock – ie: no trades – but we do offer a tax receipt for items donated.Buy a BikeBicycles are sold as-is and the price is set i n advance.  For used parts we request a monetary donation.  We take cas h and cards for payments and donations. We also take Free-Ride-In-Shop Cre dit as payment. In-Shop Credit\, earned by volunteering at Free Ride on Vo lunteer nights\, is redeemable towards bicycles\, the shop fee\, or as a d onation for used parts.  You can redeem your own shop credit on behalf of someone else as a gift.  In-Shop Credit cannot be used to purchase brand -new items we stock our shop with\, like brake-pads\, or T-Shirts. There i s a 2 bike per person limit on Open Shop bike-purchases on any given day. Employees of Construction Junction\, after 90 days of employment – are e ntitled to a 50% discount on all used bicycles.

The series creates sp ace to talk openly about the questions\, pressures\, and experiences that young people are navigating today—especially the things that can feel aw kward\, uncomfortable\, or hard to bring up at home. \nThis isn’t a trad itional lecture where adults do the talking and teens sit and listen. Teen s set the agenda and lead the conversation. Before each session\, question s and topics will be gathered directly from teens through crowdsourcing as well as from members of Friendship Circle’s teens themselves. These que stions will help shape the conversation and ensure that the topics being d iscussed reflect what young people are actually wondering about\, experien cing\, and talking about. \nEach session will be moderated by members of t he Teen Leadership Board\, who will bring the questions from their peers d irectly to community experts. Teens and caregivers will have the opportuni ty to hear from professionals\, ask questions\, share perspectives\, and l eave with practical information and tools they can use in their own lives. \nOur goal is to create a space where teens can ask the questions they ac tually want answered\, hear honest and relevant information from trusted e xperts\, and have a voice in conversations that directly affect them. By b ringing teens\, caregivers\, and community professionals together\, Let’ s Talk About It aims to make difficult conversations feel a little less in timidating—and a lot more accessible. \nSep23Let’s Talk About It Serie s: The Teen Brain – Why Risky Behavior Happens & How Parents Can Respond Friendship Circle7:00 PMOct21Let’s Talk About It Series: Drugs Today – Facts\, Safety & Conversations That MatterFriendship Circle7:00 PMDec1Let ’s Talk About It Series: Social Media\, Body Image & Building Healthy Id entityFriendship Circle7:00 PM LAST-MODIFIED:20260916T025648Z LOCATION:Friendship Circle\, 1922 Murray Ave\, Pittsburgh\, 15217 URL:https://jewishpgh.org/event/lets-talk-about-it-series-the-conversation s-every-family-is-having-or-avoiding/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=i cs&utm_campaign=pittsburgh-pa X-SOURCE-NAME:Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh X-SOURCE-URL:https://jewishpgh.org/info/lgbtq END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
