"How Did Life Begin on Early Earth?"
Professor Richard Zare - Department of Chemistry, Stanford University
Hosts: Bo Zhang and Daniel Chiu
When the Earth was first formed, it was too hot to support life as we know it. It cooled off and life began. How? The original gases on early Earth did not contain carbon-nitrogen (C-N) bonds, but these are needed to form amino acids, peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids such as RNA and DNA. How were they made? Since the landmark experiments by Miller and Urey, it has been proposed that lightning could play a crucial role in synthesizing life’s building blocks from abiotic molecules. Arguments have been offered against this hypothesis based on what is thought to be the composition of early Earth ‘s atmosphere, the fact that lightning is intermittent, and the reaction products might become too dispersed. We demonstrate that spraying room-temperature water droplets into a gas mixture containing nitrogen (N2), methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), and ammonia (NH3) leads…

Hyp J. Dauben, Jr. Endowed Lecture in Organic Chemistry
"Genome Mining for New Chemistry"
Professor Wilfred A. van der Donk - Department of Chemistry and Howard Hughes Medical Institute, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Host: Lauren Rajakovich
The genome sequencing efforts of the past 20 years have revealed that ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) constitute a large class of peptide natural products. These molecules are produced in all three domains of life, their biosynthetic genes are ubiquitous in the currently sequenced genomes, and their structural diversity is vast. Furthermore, they are increasingly recognized for their involvement in fighting or causing human disease. This lecture will discuss the use of genome mining and synthetic biology for the discovery of new RiPPs that has also proven to be an excellent platform to discover new chemistry involved in their biosynthesis.1-3

An undocumented immigration status can profoundly affect a person’s ability to access resources, achieve economic stability, and experience a sense of belonging. These impacts are deeply felt and far-reaching, with “undocumented” often obscuring the richness and depth of the lives led by millions of immigrants across the country.
Drawing on her research and community engagement, Dr. Pinedo-Turnovsky will explore how undocumented status is shaped by – and in turn shapes – a disruptive legal and political system. At the same time, she will examine how living with an undocumented status can be a source of mobilization, rights consciousness and…

The Vast and Deep Ocean
The ocean remains one of Earth’s last great frontiers — vast in scale, deep in mystery, and largely unexplored. In The Vast and Deep Ocean, researchers from the University of Bergen and the University of Washington venture into this immense realm to showcase how they uncover the hidden world beneath the waves. The event will also reflect on opportunities and challenges of transforming Statsraad Lehmkhul, a traditional sailing ship, into a floating science lab that welcomes researchers from institutions around the world aboard.
This event highlights the scientific exploration and monitoring of the ocean, with a focus on ecological mapping, biodiversity, geological formations, and sea floor mapping. Through advanced subsea technologies, interdisciplinary research and long-term observations, we are beginning to understand both the vastness and the depth of the ocean in entirely new ways. Data visualization and information products available to the public will be highlighted.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was co-invented by Sir Peter Mansfield in the University of Nottingham's Department of Physics in 1973. Researchers from Nottingham University have continued to develop and apply improved techniques and hardware for MRI since the early days of its inception. Sir Peter (along with Paul Lauterbur) was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology in 2003.
Today there is a broad ranging, impactful research programme in MRI in Nottingham which spans physics, engineering, medicine, psychology, computer science, mathematics and life sciences and is centred on the Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre (SPMIC). The cross-faculty SPMIC operates a 7T scanner, two 3T scanners, and an 0.5 T upright system, as well hyperpolarisation equipment and OPM MEG facilities. We are currently developing an 11.7T human scanner which will form a national facility for the UK, creating new opportunities for studying the anatomy and function of the brain and body.

Inorganic Chemistry Seminar: Prof. Raúl Hernández Sánchez
"Chemistry at interfaces: macrocyclic templates facilitating strong and weak interactions"
Assistant Professor Raúl Hernández Sánchez - Department of Chemistry, Rice University
Host: Dianne Xiao
Macrocyclic arene compounds have played a fundamental role in the development of supramolecular chemistry. Research on these systems have laid the foundations to explore and establish non-covalent interactions, e.g. hydrogen bonding, π···π stacking, C–H···π interactions. The Hernández Sánchez research group has taken the basic principles of macrocyclic arenes to design architectures enforcing metal–metal interactions towards the activation of small molecules, scaffolds capable of tubularly contorting aromatic systems, and frameworks able to bind anionic species for environmental remediation, all while retaining their intrinsic non-covalent interactions. In this seminar, Prof. Hernández Sánchez will discuss progress in each of these areas constantly crossing the boundaries between organic-inorganic synthesis and ma…

Neurodiversifying Neuroscience, Matt Smear, Associate Professor, Institute of Neuroscience, Department of Psychology, University of Oregon
Biological variation is an inherent mechanism of life, supporting flexibility and resilience in an unpredictable world. In the brain, rich variation pervades gene expression, circuit development, neural coding, and cognition. Yet neuroscience has tended to idolize universals of function, treating variation as noise to be averaged away. In contrast, neurodiversifying neuroscience treats variation as a source of signal. Drawing on work across multiple domains of neuroscience, I will argue that neurodiversifying perspectives lay bare insights and opportunities hidden by normative traditions.

Book Launch - Gilah Kletenik's "Sovereignty Disrupted: Spinoza and the Disparity of Reality"
Please join the Stroum Center for Jewish Studies as we celebrate the recent publication of Hazel D. Cole Fellow Gilah Kletenik’s new book, "Sovereignty Disrupted: Spinoza and the Disparity of Reality."
In it, Kletenik takes a dazzlingly fresh reading of Spinoza’s Ethics, thinking with Spinoza to present an alternative to dominant “Western” theories about the nature of reality, the promise of reason, and the status of humans.
Kletenik will be joined by Stroum Center Director Noam Pianko to discuss the book, share how Jewish philosophy can be applied in this moment, and answer questions. Light refreshments will be provided before the talk and the book will be available for purchase.
"It is rare to find a thorough and compelling reading of a great philosophical classic, Spinoza's Ethics, that upends some of the central presumptions about sovereignty that have populated standard readings for many years. Kletenik shows that sovereign rule functions neither as a political form nor as a model of conceptual maste…

SLU Orin Smith Auditorium & Zoom Webinar
Abstract
Obesity and type 2 diabetes are growing health epidemics that constitute a costly health care burden and increase the risk of several other life-threatening conditions (e.g. cardiovascular disease, chronic renal failure, blindness, and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis). In this context, the efficacy of so called ‘incretin-mimetic’ drugs, which rely on actions in the CNS to mediate therapeutic benefit, is unquestionably impressive. As these effects result from durable, supraphysiological agonism of GLP-1 receptors (and receptors for other incretin peptides) throughout the body, however, the underlying mechanism can be viewed as relatively non-specific in the sense that 1) the specific neuronal targets are largely unknown, and hence 2) the potential for side effects is significant. Combined with evidence that lost…

West Coast Premiere
Directed by Peter Sellars
Composed & Conducted by Matthew Aucoin
Texts by Jorie Graham
If you are captivated by the grandeur of orchestral music or the powerful storytelling of opera, Music for New Bodies is an unmissable event. This ambitious work by Matthew Aucoin, with poetry by Jorie Graham and directed by the visionary Peter Sellars, features the American Modern Opera Company creating a dramatic musical experience in the tradition of Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde.
A “song of the earth” for the present day, Music for New Bodies confronts the most pressing questions of our era: What is the future of humanity? How have we altered our planet? And, in an age dominated by disembodied AI, how can we reclaim the value of a life lived in a mortal, embodied human form? With its stirring symphonic intensity and thought-provoking lyrics, this piece offers a deep and urgent meditation on the challenges we face as a species.

Comparison Controversies: Historical Analogy and the Politics of Holocaust Memory, Why do we turn to the past in order to confront the crises of the present? Michael Rothberg approaches this question from the perspective of “comparison controversies,” which occur when impassioned public debates emerge from provocative historical comparisons. Since October 7, 2023, political speeches, protests, magazine articles, and social media posts have generated controversy by connecting recent events in Israel and Gaza to the Holocaust. In this talk, Rothberg will consider post-October 7 examples in relation to a larger context of comparison controversies and a longer trajectory of Holocaust memory to reflect more generally on the possibilities and pitfalls of historical analogy. Michael Rothberg (1939 Society Samuel Goetz Chair in Holocaust Studies and Professor of English and Comparative Literature, University of California, Los Angeles) researches the social and cultural implications of political violence and its…

Working from poet Tan Lin’s idea of “general feelings”—the notion that emotions are not our own (individually held or private) but shared as a kind of communal recipe—Chloë Bass will discuss the production of artistic work in the contemporary public realm using two conceits:
First, what it means to think of objects through the scale of the human body, and thus as a stand-in for potential emotional action; and
Second, what happens when we consider the presentation of static artworks as a form of rehearsal, which in turn provokes the co-creation of a world.
Registration Required
This talk complements GWSS x Henry student engagements around Bass’s public art project Soft Services (Field Trip on Oct 24; Student Workshop on Nov 4).
Chloë Bass (b. 1984, New York, NY) is a multiform conceptual artist working in performance, situation, conversation, publication, and installation. Her work uses daily life as a site of deep research to address scales of intimacy: where patterns hold and break as group sizes…
