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.

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

(https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/mental-health/group-therapy/)Families 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.

Dr. Todd J. Martinez, Department of Chemistry and The PULSE Institute, Stanford UniversityDiscovering Chemistry and Photochemistry From First Principles Molecular Dynamics Novel computational architectures and methodologies are revolutionizing diverse areas ranging from video gaming to advertising and espionage. In this talk, I will discuss how these tools and ideas can be exploited in the context of theoretical and computational chemistry. I will show how the resulting advances in the efficiency of quantum chemistry can be harnessed to progress from traditional "hypothesis-driven" methods for using electronic structure and first principles molecular dynamics to a "discovery-driven" mode where the computer is tasked with discovering chemical reaction networks. We apply this reaction discovery method to methane pyrolysis, as an example where direct comparison to experimental results is possible. I show that the first principles method with no experimental input produces predictions in agreement with experiments and as good as bespoke models parameterized to experimental data. I then discuss the extension of these ideas to photochemical reactions involving electronic excited states. Finally, I describe our recent efforts to make computational chemistry tools broadly accessible for both education and research purposes.

On failing other people: vindicating the varieties of moral residue Human beings are quite vulnerable creatures. We are easily broken and can die unexpectedly. People that matter deeply to us can be torn away, and things that we value can be destroyed. Our greatest needs may go unmet. These are simply facts about the human condition. But we are also limited–and thus vulnerable–in another important way: we control too little about our own actions to ever be confident that we will not fail other people who are, after all, vulnerabletous. Due to factors outside of our own control, acting in ways that we take to be morally required may become either impossible or unreasonably demanding. These too are facts about the human condition. There is so much that matters to us, and so much that jeopardizes what matters to us, that relative to what would be required to take proper care of it all, there is little that we can actually do. We live at all times with this risk of failing others. It is this second kind of vulnerability on which I focus in this talk: our vulnerability to failing others and to experiencing an anguished sense of responsibility for what we take to be our failures, though in circumstances in which other people are right to refrain from holding us responsible or from even regarding us as having failed. This is the experience ofmoral residue. The experience can be not just explained but also vindicated if it turns out that our feelings of responsibility are fitting, in which case they establish a sense in which we really have failed and really are responsible. I identify the metaethical assumptions according to which the emotional experience of moral residue can be fitting, and I show how adopting these assumptions enables us to draw meaningful distinctions amongst a variety of kinds of moral residue.Lisa Tessman (https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flisatessman.weebly.com%2F&data=05%7C02%7Cmary.malley%40uconn.edu%7C577ceabc4e6b4496e1b208dd4492b2fc%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C638742119072397018%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=6BuwelOdGSafnEAUPOgO4TKnMnR5TRiTR5ZlRTA4cfQ%3D&reserved=0) is a Professor of Philosophy at Binghamton University in New York, and a Senior Researcher at the University of Oslo.

An All Recovery meeting is 'non-denominational' meaning all pathways of recovery are embraced here. A universal recovery topic is chosen and then the group discusses it. It is not affiliated with any "Anonymous" program although you are likely to hear comments associated with 12 step fellowships. Meetings are facilitated by a student member of the URC with support from a Recovery Coach and are held both in-person and online for students from other UConn campuses. 

The ceremony will feature an inspiring speech from a keynote speaker. It will be a heartfelt occasion filled with pride, reflection, and excitement for the graduates' future endeavors in the legal profession.   This event is partially or fully paid for by the student body of UConn Law, under the direction of the Student Bar Association. All law students are invited and encouraged to participate. If you require reasonable accommodations for a disability, please contact the Law School at 860-570-5130 or via email at law.access@uconn.edu.

The City That Slept incorporates fusions of traditional puppetry forms, which Tuke has developed while studying at UConn. These include marionette-shadow puppets, and an original design - floating shadow puppets, which glide through a pool of moving water. The show is brought to life by a team of student puppeteers and lighting designers from UConn. No tickets are required, seats are first come, first served.
