Physics and Astronomy Colloquium: "Dynamics of living flows"

Eleni Katifori (University of Pennsylvania)

Complex life larger than a humble nematode would not be possible without a circulatory system. Plants, fungi, and animals have developed vascular systems of striking complexity to solve problems of long…

Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: "Collective behavior underlying the mechanobiology of tissues"

Moumita Das (Rochester Institute of Technology)

Living cells and tissues are highly mechanically sensitive and active. Mechanical forces and stimuli influence the shape, motility, and functions of cells, modulate the behavior of tissues,…

Astronomy seminar: "Evidence for CII diffuse line emission at redshift z~2.6"

Shengqi Yang (New York University)

CII is one of the brightest emission lines from star-forming galaxies and is an excellent tracer for star formation. Recent work measured the CII emission line amplitude for redshifts 2<z<3.2…
