Exploiting Genetics to Identify Environmental Risks for Autism
Gerald D. Fischbach Auditorium 160 5th Avenue, New York, NY, United StatesIn this lecture, Mark Zylka will describe how candidate environmental risk factors for autism can be identified rationally, by pinpointing chemicals that interfere with the same molecular pathways that are affected in individuals with autism. His research focuses on identifying environmental-use chemicals that target autism-linked molecular pathways, using environmental sampling data to assess the exposure threat to people, and validating risk potential in animal models.
Atomic Clocks and Quantum Physics
Gerald D. Fischbach Auditorium 160 5th Avenue, New York, NY, United StatesNew abilities with laser light have enabled us to create and probe atomic gases at ultralow temperatures, forming the basis of atomic clocks accurate to 18 decimal places. This talk will discuss the history of such advanced clocks and how they are used to test fundamental laws of nature, search for new physics and create a range of technologies.

The Unpredicted: In Science, Literature and Politics
Gerald D. Fischbach Auditorium 160 5th Avenue, New York, NY, United StatesWe are drawn to the new, the unusual, the unexpected: what we could not predict on the basis of what came before. As vast archives of our cultural past and present go online, scientists can now break out of the laboratory to see how novelty, innovation and creativity are both made and received in the...
