Harmony of Nature II: Waves is an international and experimental collaboration that connects audiences with nature by transforming environmental data into classical music. The exhibition is a multimedia experience of musical compositions, video, and documentary objects. Musical compositions of wavelike gestures were derived from tide gauge observations of sea level rise along the coast of the Long Island Sound, buoy measurements of the propagation of a tsunami across the Pacific Ocean, and mathematical expressions. The specific datasets chosen are direct observations, rather than model projections, and the music expresses the nuances of the flow of nature. Harmony of Nature II: Waves emphasizes the portrayal of physical phenomenon as a generative force, to create music that is both artistically and scientifically communicative.   The works were created by the project's trio of members, acclaimed South Korean pianist Sophy Chung, oceanographer Molly M. James, and composer, computer scientist Max Lu.Harmony of Nature II: Waves received support from Connecticut Sea Grant Arts Support Awards Program.

Our intention is to engage in practices that support mental wellbeing and help build community and connection. Gentle Therapeutic Yoga classes will be held right after this class.

Abstract Traditional engineering metrics focus on the performance of infrastructure while neglecting the societal implications of failure, disruption, or deterioration. This disconnect impedes mitigation. Successful mitigation relies on an accurate prediction or model of the relevant impact. To overcome this gap, this talk introduces methods for modeling and assessing the societal impacts of transportation infrastructure failure. Two different scenarios are considered: hazard and non-hazard. Network simulation, risk analysis, and digital twinning methods are used to model the transportation infrastructure and surrounding community. The hazard scenario examines small scale infrastructure failure (i.e., culverts) during flooding events. The impact on hospital connectivity in a rural community is examined. The non-hazard scenario examines pavement condition and its effect on work travel. Both case studies are developed using real Massachusetts communities and infrastructure to demonstrate applicability. Methods are presented which allow for the identification of vulnerable populations, an assessment of the disproportionate impact, and mitigation suggestions.   About the SpeakerJessica Boakye (https://www.drjessicaboakye.com/about) is an Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She received her B.S. Degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2014. She then received her M.S. in Structural Engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2016 and Ph.D. in Societal Risk and Hazard Mitigation from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2020. Her research group focuses on quantifying, predicting, and mitigating the societal consequences of infrastructure failure or disruption. She has an interest in creating metrics which are centered on community goals such as equity, resilience, and sustainability.   Sponsors This event is hosted by the Engineering for Human Rights Initiative (https://humanrights.uconn.edu/areas-of-focus/engineering/), a collaborative venture between the Gladstein Family Human Rights Institute and UConn's School of Engineering.

Jacqueline Jones, influenced by the American Impressionists of the Old Lyme Art Colony, presents plein air and studio paintings of dynamic beauty. Her lively brushwork captures the fleeting effects of sunlight, subtle atmospheres of color, and the power of the tides along New England coastlines. Mary Temple's daily Coastal Sunrise paintings represent her experience of one view off the coast of Maine. Each painting, through intensity of color and a muscular application of thick oil paint, creates a maximal experience for the viewer which is surprisingly inventive and deeply satisfying. The exhibition will be on view alongside the concurrent exhibition Harmony of Nature II: Waves Exhibition dates: April 2- May 4. Reception: April 2, 5:30-7:30 pm. Hours: Th-Sun. 12-4 pm

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. Open to all UConn students, faculty and staff from any campus. No experience required.

Chemistry Colloquium: Joshua Buss, University of Michigan Host: Dr. Gael Ung

This webinar will examine implicit bias, the differences between equality and equity, and how to recognize equitable practices. Participants will learn to talk about race constructively within their workplace, with colleague organizations, and with their clients by having conversations about racial justice work to help foster authentic engagement. The training will enable participants to apply what they know about racial justice and equity to build a further understanding and agreement. Participants will learn which facilitation tools to use when faced with hot button issues and how to lead conversations about race with presence, grace, and authority.
