*Special* High Energy Seminar: "Monopole-antimonopole Creation and Other Numerical Studies"
Tanmay Vachaspati (Arizona State University)
I will describe magnetic monopoles, their properties, and recent numerical work on their creation from particles.
High Energy Theory: "TBA"
Tom Hartman (Cornell University)
Advances in Biomedical Optics Seminar: "Optical Diagnostics for Improved Pancreatic Disease Detection"
Mary-Ann Mycek (University of Michigan)
Pizza will be served at 11:45am.

FACULTY WORKING GROUP LECTURE
Carl Weiman (Stanford)
Guided by experimental tests of theory and practice, science has advanced rapidly in the past 500 years. Guided primarily by tradition and dogma, the learning and teaching of these subjects meanwhile has remained…
Astro Seminar: "Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors for High Contrast Imaging"
Benjamin Mazin (UCSB)
Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors, or MKIDs, are superconducting detector arrays that can measure the energy and arrival time of individual optical through near-IR photons without read noise or dark current. I…
Math-Bio seminar: "Spatial statistics in bioimage analysis"
Thibault Lagache, Columbia University
New advances in fluorescence microscopy make possible the localization of thousands of molecules with nanometer resolution inside living cells. This calls for the development of new statistical tools in spatial…
High Energy Seminar: "TBA"
Thomas Faulkner (University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign)
Astro Seminar: "Kinetic Inductance Detectors for CMB Studies"
Bradley Johnson (Columbia University)
I will discuss recent results from our kinetic inductance detector development projects. Kinetic inductance detectors are superconducting thin-film, GHz resonators that are designed to also be optimal photon…
Math-Bio seminar: "Genetic manipulation of entire populations with CRISPR gene drives"
Philipp Messer, Cornell University
A functioning gene drive system could fundamentally change our strategies for the control of vector-borne diseases by facilitating rapid dissemination of transgenes that prevent pathogen transmission or reduce…
Rittenhouse Lecture: "Early Results from Juno's Exploration of Jupiter"
Scott Bolton, Southwest Research Institute
NASA's Juno mission to Jupiter launched in 2011 and arrived at Jupiter on July 4, 2016. Juno's scientific objectives include the study of Jupiter's interior, atmosphere and magnetosphere with the goal of…
