- Nov 2212:00 PMFamilies with AddictionFamilies with Addiction This group is for students who are or have been deeply affected by having parent(s) or sibling(s) struggling with addictions. May also consider situations where the family member's primary issue is a severe psychiatric disorder, but that substance use is also present.To join this group therapy session, please call SHaW at 860-486-4700 (tel:+18604864705) This session is held by Jonathan Beazley, LMFT, SW (https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/person/jonathan-beazley/) 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.
- Nov 2212:00 PMTherapeutic YogaTherapeutic Yoga skillfully blends movement and breathwork, with a meditative focus for a full body practice that calms, nurtures, strengthens and opens one into flexibility of body and mind.Yogais protective and enlivening. Freeing you from habitual patterns of tension, this yoga creates a sense of spaciousness within, dissolves stress, strengthens core muscles, joint health, centeredness, postural alignment and groundedness, increases breath capacity and breath awareness, shifts stagnant emotions into movement and release, and is attentive to the subtle stuff of the mind, helping to free us from the driving forces of unconscious actions and thoughts. You'll practice yogic techniques that you can bring into your everyday experience for simply living a good day, and for increasing your capacity to be creatively present in your life. A yogic attitude toward self and practice is one of kindness, patience, and tenderness. We grow into our best selves in an inner atmosphere of loving care.

- Nov 2212:15 PMGraduate Student SeminarProf. Vernon Cormier, Department of Physics, University of ConnecticutPhysics of Earth's Core Among the terrestrial planets, Earth has the largest magnetic field, driven by convective motion in an electrically conducing iron rich liquid outer core. This field has been sustained since nearly the time of Earth's formation, preventing loss of water and atmospheric erosion by the solar wind. Research to understand the evolution and dynamics of the core includes measurements and modeling of its gravitational and magnetic fields, the propagation of elastic waves sampling its interior, and the theories of condensed matter physics. Outstanding problems include the unknown light element composition of the outer and inner cores, the crystalline lattice structure of the solid inner core and that of iron at 360 GPa and 6000 deg. K, gravitational and electromagnetic coupling between Earth's mantle and solid inner core, the low shear modulus and Poisson's ratio of the inner core, and the possibility of the inner core being in a superionic state.
