High Energy Theory Seminar: "TBA"
Simone Giombi (Princeton)
Rittenhouse Lecture:" Expansion of the Universe seen by Hubble"
Adam Reiss (JHU/STScI) Hosted by Adam Lidz
The Hubble constant remains one of the most important parameters in the cosmological model, setting the size and age scales of the Universe. Present uncertainties in the cosmological model including the nature…

Condensed Matter seminar: "Microfluidics of sugar transport in plants"
Kaare H. Jensen, Technical University of Denmark
Plants can rightly be called masters of microengineering. Their survival and successful reproduction depends on their ability to overcome a series of physical challenges during growth and when transporting…

High Energy Theory Seminar: "TBA"
Eric Perlmutter (Princeton)
Special Condensed Matter seminar: "Topological gapped and gapless phases protected by nonsymmorphic lattice symmetries"
Chen Fang, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
In the first part of the talk, I will show that a nonsymmorphic glide reflection symmetry can protect a new Z2 topological gapped phase in three-dimensions. Unlike topological insulators, this new phase can be…
Astro Seminar: "Overview of Planck Data and (Cosmological and Astrophyical) Results "
Graca Rocha (JPL)
In this talk I will give an overview of Planck data and Cosmological and Astrophysical results: Temperature and polarization maps of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation anisotropies, Power Spectra, Likelihoods…
Math-Bio seminar: "Eight thousand years of natural selection in Europe"
Iain Mathieson (Harvard University)
The arrival of farming in Europe around 8,500 years ago necessitated adaptation to new environments, pathogens, diets, and social organizations. While indirect evidence of adaptation can be detected in patterns of…
High Energy Theory Seminar: "Matter Transitions and Heterotic/F-theory duality"
Lara Anderson (Virginia Tech)
We explore a novel type of transition in certain 6D and 4D Heterotic/F-theory dual pairs, in which the matter content of the theory changes while the gauge group and other parts of the spectrum remain invariant. Such…
