Chemical photoswitches are small molecules that reversibly convert between two isomers, depending on the color of light irradiating them. When synthetically combined with pharmacologically active compounds, they can directly modulate protein function with excellent spatiotemporal precision. In this talk I will focus on the design, synthesis, and characterization of photoswitches that reversibly modulate calcium and potassium ion channels.

Projects of population-shaping rely on fabricated apparitions—eidolons, specters of the idealized responsible reproducer whose decisions serve the eugenic goals of their countries, and revenants of eugenics projects, irresponsible reproducers, who serve as a foil to eugenic goals in discourse and policy. In Yucatan, where eugenic logics permeate local reproductive landscapes, im/migration is high, and a birth tourism economy serving Global North citizens—eidolons—has flourished, exploring the tensions between the figures of eidolon and revenant offers a means of understanding the stickiness of labels of ir/responsible reproduction to race and class. As im/migrants enter a budding economy of guides, legal services, and healthcare that commoditizes their own reproduction as a tool for accessing citizenship and property in Mexico, they do so in a context where Mexican women must contend with the eugenic ghosts that haunt their kin-making decisions while enduring denigrating rhetoric that makes a revenant of their reproduction. Tracing these specters reveals how they are illustrative of the internal contradictions of reproductive racial capitalism: capital demands a regenerating underclass of cheap labor, while the racist logics that enable capitalism stifle the reproduction of that same underclass, resulting in a paradox: responsible reproduction is an always already unachievable goal, whose promotion perpetuates the racial projects that support capitalism. Sarah A. Williams, PhD, is an applied medical anthropologist, birthworker, and scholar of global and Indigenous perinatal health. Her scholarship is primarily focused on midwifery and obstetrics and the relationship between racialization, medical racism, and perinatal healthcare in Mexico and Canada. Her book project, entitled "Always Already Vanishing: Midwifery's Future(s), Indigeneity, and the Mexican State," traces midwifery organizing, professionalization, and collaboration to protect traditional midwifery and counter obstetric violence and racism in Mexico. She is currently the Co-Investigator and Qualitative Research Lead on the QueerCOVID-Toronto project, which is examining the impact of the pandemic and public health policy on queer people's mental and physical health.

About the Program for Law students: You will learn how to start a networking conversation with a three- or four-sentence "elevator speech" about yourself. You Will Learn: Your "elevator speech" is the vehicle by which you open most professional conversations, and the answer to the "So, tell me about yourself" question in a job interview. It is an art. It also has rules and conventions. It requires preparation and practice. Successfully done, at the end of twenty seconds you will have conveyed key aspects of your professional identity, demonstrated awareness of your audience, and provided hooks for a continuation of the conversation. You will have many chances to apply this skill as you build relationships forming the foundation of your professional network.

This thesis focused on developing a Swift UI iOS application with an embedded large language model and retrieval-augmented generation for branded food category classification and contextualized explanations for food additives.

This thesis focused on developing a Swift UI iOS application with an embedded large language model and retrieval-augmented generation for branded food category classification and contextualized explanations for food additives.

Abstract:Consumer concerns about food additives have intensified amid widespread misinformation, with the 2024 IFIC survey revealing that 35% of consumers actively avoid artificial ingredients despite authoritative safety data existing in FDA and USDA databases. This thesis presents Food Additive Lens (FAL), an iOS application that bridges the gap between scientific knowledge and consumer understanding through on-device artificial intelligence. FAL implements a three-agent architecture comprising: (1) a food category classifier achieving 87.2% top-3 accuracy across 257 categories, (2) a hybrid additive identifier combining database lookup with AI extraction (F1-score: 0.757), and (3) an explanation generator producing contextualized, consumer-friendly descriptions. The system deploys Meta's Llama 3.2 3B model quantized to 1.8GB through 4-bit compression, achieving 13-30 tokens/second generation speed while operating entirely offline. Integration of FDA's Substances Added to Food Inventory (3,971 substances) and USDA's Global Branded Food Products Database enables comprehensive coverage with direct Code of Federal Regulations links for professional users. The Retrieval-Augmented Generation workflow grounds AI responses in authoritative sources, reducing hallucination while maintaining accessibility. Performance evaluation on iPhone 14 and MacBook Air M1 demonstrated stable memory usage (peak 2.36GB) with complete offline functionality, ensuring user privacy. The application transforms complex ingredient lists into accessible information through camera-based OCR scanning, progressive disclosure interfaces, and context-aware explanations tailored to specific food products. This work demonstrates the feasibility of deploying sophisticated AI for science communication on consumer devices, offering a scalable model for combating food-related misinformation while preserving privacy and accessibility.

The Arctic is warming up to four times faster than the global average, leading to increased vulnerabilities such as accelerated terrestrial and coastal erosion, significant threats to infrastructure, and the destabilization of its vast carbon soil reservoir. In this seminar, the speaker will discuss how satellite imagery and artificial intelligence can be leveraged to deepen our understanding of climate change, repercussions on Arctic permafrost landscapes, and communities.Witharana Chandi, Department of Natural Resources and the Environment Eversource Energy Center, UConn

Compared to the last three decades, people today spend more of their lives caring for elderly parents or ill spouses than ever before, due to longer lifespans, advancements in medical technology, and an increasing number of disabled adults. Most academic and policy discussions of these trends focus on the challenges this creates for the "sandwich generation," caregivers who balance employment with care for children and aging parents. Yet 34% of older adults also care for others, including spouses, grandchildren, and parents (AARP 2015). In this talk, I present narratives of aging and care from an ethnography set in Northeast Connecticut. Centering the role of race, class, and gender-based negotiations, I discuss how older adults approach later life, especially in situations where they are expected to care for others alongside their own aging needs. I also highlight the value of rights-informed perspectives in studying later life and discuss how class status, social supports, and life-course developments complicate our understanding of economic disadvantage.Asmita Aasaavari is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Sociology at UConn. In her research, she uses interdisciplinary methods and sociological lenses to shed light on how aging and the social organization of care intersect with systems of inequality such as race, class, gender, and disability. Her research and teaching have been recognized and funded by the American Sociological Association, Social and Economic Rights Association, The Hastings Center, UConn Human Rights Institute, among others. Professionally, beyond academia, Asmita has worked with social science research institutions in India and the US in the fields of aging, gender, education, poverty alleviation, politics, and volunteered with rights-based social movements.Chris Vials is a Professor in English and the School of Social and Critical Inquiry at the University of Connecticut.

How many ways are there to break up a regular \(n\)-sided polygon into nonoverlapping triangles whose vertices are taken from the vertices of the polygon? The answer is the sequence of Catalan numbers,  which show up in hundreds of interesting mathematical contexts. By 2015 there were 214 different combinatorial interpretations of Catalan numbers, and more have been discovered since then. In this talk we will explore properties of the Catalan numbers, find a formula for them, and demonstrate several of their combinatorial meanings.Note: Free refreshments. The talk starts at 5:40.

A business model describes the rationale of how an organization creates, delivers, and captures value. It serves as a foundational document for detailing a startup company and is often required to access both debt and equity capital. In this workshop, we'll break down the key components of a business model (and its short-form version, the Business Model Canvas) and explore how it can be used to highlight value creation while identifying risks and assumptions in your business. By the end of the session, all participants will have begun (or refined!) their own business model canvas to help chart a stronger path forward.RSVP Here: https://luma.com/aw8f7szz (https://luma.com/aw8f7szz)  ​Led by Michelle Cote ​Michelle Cote is a Lead Instructor at CCEI, as well as Director of Launc[H], an innovation ecosystem in Hartford.
