From Covert Consciousness to Human Rights: Neuroethics and the Neuroscience of Disorders of Consciousness
Gerald D. Fischbach Auditorium 160 5th Avenue, New York, NY, United StatesDr. Joseph J. Fins will address how our evolving knowledge of disorders of consciousness has created an ethical imperative for a population often misdiagnosed, neglected and segregated from society. Meeting the needs of conscious individuals often mistakenly diagnosed as permanently unconscious is an emerging civil rights issue and challenge for basic and clinical neuroscience.

Geometry, Topology and Physics
Gerald D. Fischbach Auditorium 160 5th Avenue, New York, NY, United StatesThis talk will introduce an overview of some of the most important concepts and ideas from geometry and topology and then describe the recent interplay between these mathematical subjects and high energy theoretical physics, interactions that have been of a fundamentally different nature from earlier ones.

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.
