Please join the Chemistry Department for a talk by Professor Michaelle Chojnacki, Principal Investigator at the Trudeau Institute. Expanding the Druggable Space in Mycobacterium tuberculosis: From Chemical Discovery to New Biological Vulnerabilities Tuberculosis remains a leading cause of death from infectious disease worldwide, underscoring the need for new antibiotics with novel chemical structures and mechanisms of action. However, antibacterial drug discovery has historically focused on a relatively limited set of well-established cellular...

Pre-Health Club welcome meeting, student panel, and mentor-mentee meet and greet.

Explore Graduate Education in the Biomedical & Health Sciences Join the University of Rochester School of Medicine & Dentistry’s Graduate Education and Postdoctoral Affairs team for an informal dinner and conversation about graduate education in the biomedical and health sciences. Students will have the opportunity to learn more about master’s and PhD pathways, what to consider when preparing for graduate school, and opportunities for graduate study at the University of Rochester. There will also be time to ask questions and connect directly with members of our Graduate Education team. Students must register usi...

David McCune, professor of mathematics at William Jewell College, presents "The mathematics of apportionment paradoxes in presidential primaries." In rare circumstances, a candidate in a presidential primary can gain delegates while losing votes. This talk explores the mathematics behind these paradoxes, with examples from recent presidential primaries. Apportionment theory traces its origin to the U.S. Constitution, which stipulates that seats in the U.S. House be apportioned to states in proportion to their population — a principle that is in...

Join the Chemistry Department for a talk by Professor Sarah Smith.

Join the Physics Department for a Seminar by Professor Kristen Burson.

Please join the Chemistry Department for a talk by Professor Eric Nacsa, Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Penn State University.   New Open-Shell Strategies in Organic Synthesis The Nacsa Group uses electron transfer techniques and designs open-shell systems to address challenges in organic synthesis. This talk will focus on two of our interest areas. The first program leverages radical-mediated migration events, usually initiated by photoinduced electron transfer, as key design elements in complexity-generating transformations. We have sh...

Gabriella Coleman, professor of anthropology at Harvard University, presents "How Anonymous Hackers Dodged the Cyber-Extremism Bullet." In 2012, even as the National Security Agency portrayed the hacker collective Anonymous as a serious security threat, the group was embraced in popular culture, from Hollywood film and television to ballet. Coleman argues that this reputational immunity was secured through Anonymous's embrace of humor, fortuitous timing alongside the 2011 social movements, and, above all, the Guy Fawkes mask, which inadvertentl...

Victor Guevara, from the Department of Geology at Amherst College, will give a research talk on the topic of rapid exhumation of metamorphic rocks in the Himalayas. 

Come see what your peers have been working on in “The Self in Social Psychology” with Professor Jennifer Borton and “Developmental Psychology of Self-Control” with Professor Rachel White this semester. Presenters will showcase their work through a series of posters. Refreshments will be served.
