[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Group meeting reminder

by Alejandro Perdomo

Dear group, Tomorrow we have a visitor. Jonathan Skone from Penn State will be talking about "Insights on Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer: Vibronic Couplings, Time Scales, and Nonadiabaticity". Same place, same time. Naito 030 @ 4pm. Next week Dr. Olivares is up, and most likely he will give an intro to the fascinating world of SERS. See you all tomorrow, -Alejandrp

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [iic-seminars] IIC @ Cambridge Science Festival

by Helene Tingle

Initiative in Innovative Computing @ Harvard Cambridge Science Festival "Cambridge Explores the Universe" Sunday, May 4, 2008; 12-4:00pm Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge MA 02138 VISUALIZING THE UNIVERSE Join researchers from Harvard's Initiative in Innovative Computing and explore some of the latest hi-tech tools for analyzing astronomical images and data. Featured projects will include Astronomical Medicine, the Space Time Machine Consortium, and the Time Series Center. Additional Information: This free event is part of the Cambridge Science Festival, a city- wide celebration of science and technology that runs from April 26 to May 4, 2008. All ages are welcome and doors open at Noon. Cambridge Explores the Universe May 4, 2008 12 Noon - 4:00 pm Become an astronomer for a day! Discover the Harvard-Smithsonian's "Exploration Stations" that include live demonstrations, interactive multimedia exhibits, hands-ons activities, ask-an-astronomer cafe, and telescope tours. Learn about the life and death of stars from scientists and Boston-area youth. Drawings for fabulous free prizes will be held throughout the afternoon. It's out of this world! The event is hosted by scientists, students, and staff from the CfA, the MIT Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research, the Chandra X-ray Center, and the Initiative in Innovative Computing at Harvard. Cambridge Explores the Universe will be held in and outside of the Phillips Auditorium of the Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, about one mile west of Harvard Square. No reservations are necessary; however, in the event of high traffic, building and tour access will be controlled using free timed tickets. Entrance to the auditorium is at the west of the Center complex, near the Madison Street entrance and large parking lot. The Center also can be easily reached by public transportation. From the Harvard MBTA Station (Red Line), take any bus or trackless trolley going west on Concord Avenue (Arlmont Village and Belmont Center buses, Huron Avenue trolleys) and get off at "Observatory Hill." Additional directions are available. For more information, including accessibility, or to sign up for the events mailing list, call the CfA Public Affairs Office, (617) 495-7461 or email pubaffairs(a)cfa.harvard.edu.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [iic-seminars] IIC Seminar April 30--HMS' George Church on Computing Challenges in Reading Personal Genomes and Writing Synthetic Genomes

by Helene Tingle

Initiative in Innovative Computing @ Harvard Seminar Series Wednesday, April 30, 2008; 4:00pm 60 Oxford Street, Room 330 George Church, Professor of Genetics, Harvard Medical School; Member of the Affiliated Faculty of the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology Seminar Title: DNA I/O: Computing Challenges in Reading Personal Genomes and Writing Synthetic Genomes Abstract: Recent technologies have transformed DNA into yet another digital medium for rapid input and output (I/O). Rather than asking DNA to compete with silicon-based computers--with thousands of circuits on every chip--on their own turf or vice versa, we are pursuing hybrid systems, harvesting the fruits of natural past evolution or accelerating it in the lab. As the cost of personal genomes drops, how will we accurately obtain and interpret 6 billion base pairs each for 6 billion people? Upcoming IIC Seminars: Continue to stay up to date with our IIC Seminar Schedule. Parking is available in the 52 Oxford Street Garage. Please tell the attendant that you are attending the IIC Seminar. _______________________________________________ iic-seminars mailing list iic-seminars(a)calists.harvard.edu http://calists.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/iic-seminars

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Modern Electronic Structure Theory

by Ivan Kassal

Dear group, The volume 2 of the book "Modern Electronic Structure Theory" by David Yarkony is checked out of the library. I suspect it might be in this group---if so, let me know so we can share instead of having me recall it. Ivan
