Conférence d'Alain Bergala : Les grands cinéastes de la chevelure
Tous les cinéastes ont filmé des cheveux de femmes. Mais les grands cinéastes de la chevelure féminine sont finalement peu nombreux. A quoi les reconnaît-on ? A ce que les cheveux de femmes, chez eux, ne sont pas seulement décoratifs, mais relèvent d'une émotion intime et singulière qui ébranle souterrainement leurs films.
Alain Bergala est le commissaire de l'exposition Brune Blonde à la Cinémathèque française. Cinéaste, critique, enseignant à la femis, il est l'auteur

Technology and Education: Putting it in context
We often hear competing media and research claims about the educational value of new technologies, but often it is not clear how, or indeed if, these technologies are supporting learning. And, importantly, there is often little attention to the challenges of trying to introduce these technologies successfully into an educational context. This report aims to address these issues through a short summary of some of the work carried out by the Capital Project over the last two years– the programme

1.018J Fundamentals of Ecology (MIT)
This is a basic subject in ecology that seeks to improve the understanding of the flow of energy and materials through ecosystems and the regulation of the distribution and abundance of organisms. The course covers productivity and biogeochemical cycles in ecosystems, trophic dynamics, community structure and stability, competition and predation, evolution and natural selection, population growth and physiological ecology. There is particular emphasis placed on aquatic systems.
5.04 Principles of Inorganic Chemistry II (MIT)
This course provides a systematic presentation of the chemical applications of group theory with emphasis on the formal development of the subject and its applications to the physical methods of inorganic chemical compounds. The electronic structure of molecules will be developed. Against this backdrop, the optical, vibrational, and magnetic properties of transition metal complexes are presented and their investigation by the appropriate spectroscopy is described.
