SUMMARY:The Slime Mold Cosmic Web and What it Teaches Us about Galaxy Evolution
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Farhan HasanSpace Telescope Science Institute\, Baltimore\, USA \n\n\n\nAbstract: On the largest scales\, the universe forms a vast “cosmic web” made up of filamentary strands connecting massive nodes\, with vast\, empty voids in between. While simulations have predicted this structure for decades\, observing it directly has been challenging due to the faintness of the gas in the cosmic web. In this talk\, I will present a novel method inspired by the growth patterns of the “slime mold” microorganism to model the cosmic web more effectively. Our Monte Carlo Physarum Machine (MCPM) model simulates galaxies as “food sources” and uses them to map out the cosmic matter distribution. Integrating MCPM with standard techniques improves our ability to identify large-scale filamentary structure substantially. Using the IllustrisTNG cosmological simulations\, we find that MCPM reveals two types of filaments: dense\, prominent ones and more diffuse\, weaker ones. The density of these filaments influences galaxy evolution. In the nearby universe\, galaxies near dense filaments are deprived of gas and stop forming stars\, while galaxies near diffuse filaments remain gas-rich and actively star-forming. However\, in the first ~2-4 billion years after the Big Bang\, this effect of the cosmic web is absent. Furthermore\, high filament gas density can also result in galaxies forming stars in their cores first\, a process called “inside-out growth.” Our findings suggest that inhospitable gaseous environments of dense filaments can result in physical mechanisms such as gas stripping from galaxies. Additionally\, the environment plays a major role in halting star formation in low-mass and satellite galaxies\, while internal processes dominate in high-mass and central galaxies. We also find that while dark matter in galaxies tends to align with nearby filaments\, stars lose this alignment early in their evolution. Finally\, I’ll discuss ongoing efforts to test these predictions using state-of-the-art observatories\, including the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the Hubble Space Telescope. \n\n\n\n\nView Flyer

SUMMARY:RFCUNY Brown Bag Research Webinars: Writing Competitive Grant Applications Focusing on Project Summaries and Descriptions
DESCRIPTION:Overview: Project summaries and descriptions are important sections in grant proposals that need to be carefully presented with a focus on the needs of the Principal Investigator project and the sponsor program goals. While preparing the document\, emphasis should be given to the quality of information and how the information is organized\, structured\, and presented. These documents are often written by faculty in a fast- paced manner to meet sponsor deadline requirements. This webinar will provide faculty with guidance and training on how to present the important sections of these documents to make them competitive. The webinar will include the following topics: Effective proposal titles; Setting a realistic scope for the project; Outlining the scientific problems/challenges that the project will solve; Describing the hypotheses of the research; Setting project goals\, objectives\, and outcomes; Identifying project benefits to your field of study\, your institution\, your students\, and society; Employing and presenting the right methods; Employing the right team (researchers\, faculty\, students); Designing an effective management plan (advisory committees); and Establishing stages\, timelines\, deadlines\, and milestones. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAudience: All CUNY FacultyPresenter: John Tsapogas\, RFCUNY APPS DirectorRegistration: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/1949820485554824282Webinar ID: 833-970-667

SUMMARY:Works in the Works: The Beastiary - technical direction for new plays in development
DESCRIPTION:The Humanities Department in its Works in the Works series has the following presentation: \n\n\n\nSpeaker: John McCullough: Entertainment Technology Department \n\n\n\nAbstract: “Technical direction for plays is the pursuit of a technical answer to an artistic question: how can the artistic vision of the playwright\, director\, and design team be realized within the temporal\, physical\, and budgetary constraints of the production. For new plays\, this challenge is compounded by the inherent dynamism of artistic collaboration. This talk will discuss an approach to the task of technical direction with a focus on a production of The Beastiary at Ars Nova.” \n\n\n\nAdditional details to follow
