Celebrating the Mathematics of Pierre Deligne: October 5, 2013

Gerald D. Fischbach Auditorium 160 5th Avenue, New York, NY, United States

Deligne, of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, has long been a leader in mathematics innovation and exploration. This year, the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters recognized his pioneering contributions to algebraic geometry by awarding him the Abel Prize.

Neural Codes for Representation and Memory

Gerald D. Fischbach Auditorium 160 5th Avenue, New York, NY, United States

In this talk, Ila Fiete will argue that it is time to develop and apply information-theoretic principles specific to coding in the noisy brain.

Foundation Hosts First MPS Annual Meeting

Gerald D. Fischbach Auditorium 160 5th Ave, New York, NY, United States

The inaugural Annual Meeting was an opportunity for awardees to get to know each other and their work.

October 14, 2013: The Search for Early Life on Earth and Mars

In this talk, Roger E. Summons outlines approaches to seeking evidence of life in Earth’s oldest sedimentary rocks and shows, by analogy, how the Mars Science Laboratory mission is designed to investigate Mars’ capacity for supporting a biosphere.

October 14, 2013: The Search for Early Life on Earth and Mars

No one knows when life first colonized planet Earth, nor if or when Mars ever supported life. We see numerous, unequivocal lines of evidence for life on Earth from some 3.5 billion years ago to the present day. But the further back in time we look, the more clues about our earliest ancestors are clouded by doubts, uncertainties and controversies.

Fluid-structure Interactions From the Large to the Very Small

In this talk, Mike Shelley discusses problems in fluid-structure interaction ranging from the macroscopic, i.e. flapping of flags and bending of tree leaves, to the micro – collective behaviors of micro-organisms and the transport of subcellular structures.

October 23, 2013: Epilepsy and Autism: Comorbid Disorders with Shared Etiologies

Autism and epilepsy are often comorbid disorders with overlapping epidemiology, genetics, clinical features, neuroanatomic abnormalities and neurophysiological mechanisms. Defining the genetics and clinical features of individuals with comorbid autism and epilepsy is ongoing, and development of genotype-phenotype correlations has just begun. Understanding shared and distinct mechanisms underlying autism and epilepsy is likely to improve prognosis, therapy and prevention.
