Difficultly is Moot – a case for in situ measurements of the atmosphere
When
-
Abstract: The title of this presentation was inspired by my response to a reviewer comment on a recent paper: the technique proposed … requires a sophisticated instrumentation that is largely restricted to heavy airborne platforms…hence limiting the application of this technique… That review motivates me to broadly justify the science t

Synopsis: The Tian lab combines computational protein design, chemical biology, electrophysiology, optical imaging techniques, and inducible pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology to describe the logic of the neural circuitry. These tools are being created to record neural activity to better understand the brain mechanisms that lead to behaviors related to health and disease.

The role of wave-particle interactions in cold plasma heating Seminar Abstract:
When
-
Seminar Abstract: The cold plasma of ionospheric origin is a dramatically influential plasma population that dominates the mass of the magnetosphere. The conventional paradigm of current space weather models is that the cold particle populations are a passive medium where key energy exchange processes, such as those associated with wave-particle interactions operate, but do not actively take part in these processes.
Cavity QED from Manybody Physics to Transduction
When
-
Abstract: In this talk, I will describe recent developments in the Simon/Schuster collaboration, where we are harnessing cavity quantum electrodynamics for both manybody physics and quantum information. I will begin with an overview of our photonic quantum materials efforts, highlighting the analogy between photons in a lattice of cavities (or family of cavity modes) and electrons in solids.
From Rocks to Rockets
When
-
Abstract: Watkins will share highlights from her recent 170 days of living and
working aboard the International Space Station, her path to space, and
her perspective on the role of geology in space exploration.

Abstract:
Gravity waves and traveling ionospheric disturbances in the stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere from mountain waves, the polar vortex, the Tonga eruption and deep convection via multi-step vertical coupling
When
-
Abstract: Atmospheric gravity waves (GWs) are created in the troposphere from wind flow over mountains, and in the stratosphere below the maximum of the polar vortex from imbalance of the polar vortex. Because these GWs are slow, they cannot propagate directly to the thermosphere due to dissipation from breaking/critical level filtering and molecular viscosity.

Synopsis: The Laub lab works to understand toxin-antitoxin systems and other immunity mechanisms in bacteria as well as gaining insight to the molecular basis of protein evolution/coevolution of interacting proteins. The lab uses computational analyses, and genome-scale approaches like RNA-seq.

Study on Metal-Ligand Interactions: Infrared Ion Spectroscopy of Coordination Compounds
When
-
Abstract: A molecular level investigation of metal-ligand interactions that govern structure and function in coordination complexes. Coordination compounds perform a wide variety of important chemical tasks, from the biochemical transport of molecules and ions to industrial applications in electrocatalysis and contaminant sequestration. Coordination chemistry with organic ligands is ubiquitous, providing chemical access to over half of the periodic table.
