Museum admission not required. \nNuclear forensics is exactly w hat it sounds like: think CSI: Crime Scene Investigation for radioactive m aterials. Nuclear forensics researchers seek to determine the origin and h istory (provenance) of nuclear materials found outside of regulatory contr ol. Speaker Dr. Tyler Spano’s research involves looking for unique “fi ngerprints” in uranium materials that can give clues into what the sampl e is\, where it may have come from\, and what processes it has been throug h. CURIES (the Compendium of Uranium Raman and Infrared Experimental Spect ra) serves as a “fingerprint” library. Using expert analysis in combin ation with machine learning\, CURIES can be used to identify known and unk nown nuclear materials. \nRegistration is required to attend R.W. Moriarty Science Seminars.

Museum admission not requ ired. \nNorth American bird populations have declined sharply\, and migrat ion is one of the most dangerous parts of a bird’s life. But birds are h ard to protect if we do not know where they find food and shelter during m igration\, or which window designs actually keep them safe. In this talk\, Dr. DeGroote will discuss his research tracing the journey of migrating l andbirds across forests\, fields\, and built environments to find practica l ways to reduce risk. He will show that some species rely on especially l imited habitats\, and that high-contrast window markers offer a reliable t ool for preventing collisions. \nRegistration is required to attend R.W.

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.
