Description:
From the branching of neurons that powers our thoughts to the renewal of our skin, our bodies constantly grow, repair, and adapt. Explore how neural branching shapes brain function and connectivity, then uncover the secrets of skin healing—and why it can’t fully regenerate. Together, these talks reveal the dynamic processes that keep us wired, protected, and ever-evolving.
From optical illusions in humans and flies to the neural roots of cannabis use risk, and the brain’s role in turning thought into movement. Tonight explores how perception, decision-making, and motor control intertwine. These talks reveal surprising truths about how our brains sense, decide, and act.
Pint of Science is back this year on May 20 and 21 with a wide array of cool talks by your local scientists and colleagues! Grab a pint and some bites and listen to some fascinating work being done here in New Haven!
From the elusive Higgs boson to the vast reaches of the cosmos, our universe holds deep mysteries. Discover how particle physics challenges the Standard Model, explore black holes, dark matter, and hidden dimensions, and uncover how starquakes let us peer inside stars. These talks take us to the frontiers of discovery, where the smallest and largest scales collide.

As satellite constellations multiply and commercial space activity accelerates, astronomers face new challenges to their ability to observe the universe. Join Dr. Laura Newburgh, a leading experimental cosmologist at Yale, for a conversation on the evolving relationship between space innovation and observational astronomy.
Join the Schmidt Program for a panel discussion on Careers in STEM Policy.
Featuring Joel Burke, author of the forthcoming book “Rebooting a Nation: The Incredible Rise of Estonia, E-Government and the Startup Revolution.” Technologist Burke has advised startups and governments—most notably, leading a team for the Republic of Estonia’s e-Residency programme, and advising members of the United States Congress on tech and AI policy.
Wenliang Chen ‘92 PhD (applied physics), Chief Technology Officer at AP Memory, will join us as the next Dean’s Invited Speaker hosted by Dean Jeffrey Brock ‘92.
Challenges and Opportunities in AI High Performance Computing (HPC)
Women have been active in science since the earliest formal scientific inquiry, often acting as assistants to their fathers, brothers, or husbands, but how we talk about women in science — and their work — started to change after the Renaissance. Join us for a pop-up exhibit celebrating groundbreaking scientists from a variety of fields, including astronomy, physics, geology, and life sciences, both in the wider scientific community and at Yale.
Featured scientists include:
Join STEM Hill Day and the Kimball Smith Series for a discussion on the role of science advocacy in shaping public policy, featuring Tara Drozdenko, Director of the Global Security Program at the Union of Concerned Scientists. This one-hour event will explore how scientists, researchers, and science-based policymakers can effectively communicate their expertise to lawmakers, navigate the complexities of science advocacy, and contribute to evidence-based policymaking.
The CCAM Symposium is an annual, interdisciplinary event that investigates the cultural landscape of our time. Acting as a bridge between the discoveries at CCAM and those on campus and beyond, it features discussions, exhibitions, performances, workshops, and more. In 2025, the symposium explores the theme of “illuminations.”
Date: Friday, December 6th
Time: 3-4:30 pm
Location: GM Room, Horchow Hall, 55 Hillhouse Ave
