- Sep 2012:15 PMGraduate Student SeminarProf. Aleksandra Kuznetsova, Department of Physics, University of ConnecticutThe Physics of Planet Formation Protoplanetary disks, rotationally supported accretion disks of gas and dust orbiting young stars, are the birthplaces of planetary systems. The physical conditions of these systems, and thus the environmental conditions of nascent planets, are set by an interplay of dynamical evolution and microphysical processes. In this talk, I will discuss current research directions in the field aimed at understanding what sets the inventory of planet building ingredients, their distribution, and evolution over time using a combination of multi-fluid hydrodynamic simulations and post-processing methods for comparison to observations.
- Sep 2012:15 PMPSLA Seminar Series: William (Ned) FriedmanHost: Julia SmachyloLocation: YNG 132Webex Link: s.uconn.edu/psla_seminars Professor William (Ned) Friedman is the eighth Director of the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University (in its 152-year history) and Arnold Professor of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. Friedman's scholarly studies have focused on the earliest phases of the evolution of flowering plants, Darwin's so-called "abominable mystery." He is also deeply interested in the history of pre-Darwinian evolutionary thought and particularly the largely forgotten contributions of horticulturists and botanists. As Director of the Arnold Arboretum, Friedman has worked to expand the Arboretum's efforts to promote ex situ conservation of endangered woody plant species through a focused ten-year initiative centered on eastern Asia and North America. He has also led the charge to increase societal impacts of the Arboretum through diverse initiatives in public programming, digital communications, enhanced dialogue between scientists and the public, and the promotion of scientific scholarship (especially global change research) within the living collections. As he continues to lead the Arboretum forward from its sesquicentennial year in 2022, two fundamental priorities will dominate the Arboretum's focus: environmental justice and combating climate change and extinction.

- Sep 201:25 PMSIGMA Seminar - What is the fractal uncertainty principle? - Aidan Backus (Brown University)Title: What is the fractal uncertainty principle? Abstract: Let X be a fractal, and let f be a function. Can f and its Fourier transform both concentrate near X? Harmonic analysts would like to answer this question because it's interesting. Hyperbolic geometers would like to answer this question because there's a way to produce fractals from hyperbolic surfaces, and then answering the question tells us something about how geodesics behave. I would like to answer this question because I want to draw some cool pictures of fractals on the whiteboards of Monteith.

- Sep 202:00 PMEvery Body WelcomeEvery Body Welcome The Every Body Welcome group is a semi structured therapy group dedicated to improving the relationships students have with food, eating, and exercise. It will focus on practicing body neutrality, developing self-compassion, and coping skills relating to eating and body image concerns. This session is held by Amy Parent, MSW (https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/person/amy-parent/) For many concerns that students face – like overwhelming stress, anxiety, difficult relationships, depression, academic difficulties, and more – group therapy is the best option for support and healing. Facilitated by Student Health and Wellness (SHaW) counselors, our therapy groups encourage peer support, promote emotional wellbeing, and increase a felt sense of connection. Participants often find that they feel less alone in their struggles, and walk away with newfound support and ideas for coping.
