WTI Inspiring Speaker Series: Questions pertaining to the nature of time span physics, philosophy, and neuroscience, but time is particularly fundamental in neuroscience because the brain tells time, stores information about the past in order to predict the future, and allows us to engage in mental time travel. Because of the fundamental importance of time, the brain can tell time across a broad range of temporal scales, but relies on different mechanisms across these scales.

Wright Lab will host two, identical 1.5-hour Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Shop Orientations on Thursday, January 23 at 10:00 a.m. and Monday, January 27 at 1:00 p.m. The EHS shop orientation is offered each semester and is required to be taken once by anyone who would like to gain access and make use of the research and teaching shops at Wright Lab.

Talk Title: “The Electron-Ion Collider as a Potential Pentaquark Factory”
Abstract: The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is a groundbreaking facility designed to probe the subatomic world, particularly the structure of nuclear matter and nucleons. This talk highlights the EIC’s potential as a powerful pentaquark factory, offering opportunities not only to measure pentaquarks but to precisely characterize their properties. With its high energy and exceptional spin polarization capabilities, the EIC will open a new chapter in exotic hadron research.

Please join Yale Chemistry for a junior faculty candidate seminar in Physical Chemistry with Jacob Higgins, NRC Postdoctoral Fellow at JILA and University of Colorado Boulder.

Carl Zimmer, science columnist for the New York Times and adjunct professor of Molecular Biophysics, will present his new book, “Air-Borne: The Hidden History of the Life We Breathe.” He will be in conversation with Brandon Ogbunu, assistant professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the Yale School of Medicine.
