With growing interest in local and sustainable sources of food, The keeping of chickens in residential backyards is increasingly popular. However, concerns about the potential impacts on neighbors can make the issue a hotly debated one in town halls. This webinar will provide an overview of the current state of local regulations of backyard chickens in CT, discuss some of the common concerns people raise, and provide suggestions from a new UConn fact sheet on how to regulate from a "one Health" perspective, i.e., one that is protective of public, animal, and environmental health. Speakers: Dave Dickson, UConn CLEAR, Sara Tomis & Indu Upadhyaya, UConn Extension, Charles Vidich & Tucker Beckett, WestCOGHost: UConn Center for Land Use Education and Research (CLEAR)

Dissertation Title: Essays on Economic Resilience Field of Study: Agricultural and Resource Economics

Unlike today's "classical" computers that use electrical signals to represent ones or zeroes, quantum computers employ subatomic particles called qubits. When managed properly, qubits can represent combinations of both ones and zeroes simultaneously in the mysterious world of quantum mechanics. "In some cases, computers with these quantum abilities can solve large-scale problems much faster than their classical counterparts can. Examples include simulating the behavior of matter, analyzing compounds to create new drugs, optimizing factory floors or global supply chains, and identifying fraud ad risk patterns in financial transactions" (MIT website), and cracking the most secure passwords such as those currently used for international bank transactions, even though classical computers operate faster (thus better at solving "smaller" problems). Our discussion will cut through the hype.Walter Krawec, Computing Department, UConn
