Alfred University - 'Passionately Pink'
From classrooms to offices, and from playing fields to dining halls, all was awash in pink on the Alfred University campus Wednesday as the community dressed in all varieties of pink garb to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research. All joined forces to go Passionately Pink for the Cure by buying shirts and making donations, with proceeds earmarked for the Susan G. Komen Cancer Research Fund. Early in the day, despite some annoying white, dozens of AU faculty, staff, and students gat

8.513 Many-Body Theory for Condensed Matter Systems (MIT)
This course covers the concepts and physical pictures behind various phenomena that appear in interacting many-body systems. Visualization occurs through concentration on path integral, mean-field theories and semi-classical picture of fluctuations around mean-field state.
8.284 Modern Astrophysics (MIT)
This course explores the applications of physics (Newtonian, statistical, and quantum mechanics) to fundamental processes that occur in celestial objects. The list of topics includes Main-sequence Stars, Collapsed Stars (White Dwarfs, Neutron Stars, and Black Holes), Pulsars, Supernovae, the Interstellar Medium, Galaxies, and as time permits, Active Galaxies, Quasars, and Cosmology. Observational data is also discussed.

The structure of the course is designed to have students acquire a broad understanding of the field of Marine Chemistry; to get a feel for experimental methodologies, the results that they have generated and the theoretical insights they have yielded to date.
Benthic Diversity from Trawl Sampling in the Clyde Sea
The aim of this presentation is to introduce students to some of the common benthic organisms and diversity found in the Clyde Sea and generally in the shallow seas around the coast of the United Kingdom. It is aimed at students who are going to do fieldwork involving sampling benthic diversity for the first time so they can gain some familiarity with the commoner organisms before fieldwork starts. It isn't meant as a replacement to field work and is not a detailed identification guide.
21M.013J The Supernatural in Music, Literature and Culture (MIT)

Health, safety and risk assessment are of paramount importance both in the laboratory and the field. This unit will help make you more aware of the hazards and risks involved in laboratory and field-based research work, as well as giving you an overview of the legal requirements attached to this work. The unit discusses issues involved in the handling chemical and biological agents, basic safety procedures and common field-work hazards.

Principles of Industrial Hygiene provides an introduction to the field of industrial hygiene and to occupational health in general.
E-science, E-research and E-learning:
New Perspectives for Graduate Studies
The quality of education for doctoral students is closely linked to the quality of the research they undertake. Benefiting from technological advances, new distributed and collaborative research practices can be witnessed. The concept of e-science has emerged and evolved to the concept of e-research. These concepts bring about a new research philosophy and the notion of collaboratory. Our research project aims to develop a renewed doctoral training approach and to facilitate researchers' adoptio

On Thursday 17 September the Gordon Institute for Performing and Creative Arts GIPCA Great Texts Big Questions lecture will present an opportunity to hear one of the worlds leading cosmologists discuss the way scientific and everyday views of the nature of things relate to each other. How do relativity theory quantum theory and cosmological theory change our views of the world and the universe? How do they relate to every day life? George Ellis Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University
Sam Winston, who also wrote/illustrated this work presents some ideas on the project he has been working on for the last three years.
Winston’s experiments came from looking at the structures of different types of literature: from storybooks to bus timetables: “The way you navigate a timetable is very different to the way you read a short story” he comments. “I wanted to take these different types of visual navigation and introduce them to each other: a timetable re-ordering all the w
