Hi all,
After lunch, I'll bring Prof. Makarov to the big office and will make you
guys talk to him for an hour (1.30 to 2.30). Please be kind and talk to him
as we are the main group involved in the Theochem seminars and we need to
participate in this.
So far there is one more spot for lunch. We'll meet in the hallway at 12.15
for Kebab Factory.
Also, we need people for dinner. We'll meet in the hallway at 6.15 and will
go to The Red House. I need several volunteers.
Thanks,
Joel.

Seminar on Modern Optics and Spectroscopy
Electronic Energy Transfer in Molecular Aggregates
Robert Silbey, MIT
TUESDAY, October 5, 2010
Grier A Room: 34-401A
12-1 pm
Förster energy transfer is ubiquitous in chemistry and now in biology. I
will discuss a) how it can be understood theoretically; b) what changes
needed to be made to think about transfer in aggregates: and c) when it
fails to describe the major mechanism of energy transfer.
Refreshments will be served after the lecture
Dear Quanta
We will meet on Tuesday September 28 at 11 in our usual spot, 6-310. Sara Mostame will tell us about her recent work. Be there.

Dear Friends,
Thank you for your participation in IIC seminars and colloquia over the years. I'm pleased to let you know that most of the IIC talks are now online in video, with links available via the archive site, http://iic.seas.harvard.edu. Additional talks will soon be posted on Harvard's channel at iTunes U.
I write to inform you also that the IIC-Colloquium mailing list will go out of existence tomorrow; however, the subscriptions will be migrated to a new list, IACS-Events, which will announce events at SEAS related to computational science.
IACS refers to the Institute for Applied Computational Science, a new undertaking launched at SEAS under the direction of Prof. Efthimios Kaxiras. (See http://www.seas.harvard.edu/news-events/press-releases/iacs?) IACS is charged with developing a graduate curriculum in applied computational science along with associated activities, including technical seminars, lectures and new research collaborations.
Please mark your calendar for these upcoming IACS events:
--Monday, Sept., 27, noon-1 pm: SciGPU Seminar
Milos Hasan, a postdoctoral fellow at SEAS, will discuss Shadie, his new domain-specific shading language for rapid development of complex custom volume visualizations in radiation oncology. Maxwell Dworkin 323.
--Thursday, Oct. 14, noon-1 pm: SciGPU Seminar/IACS Technical Seminar
Robert McLay from the Texas Advanced Computing Center will speak on "Defensive Programming: Regression Testing in Scientific Computing." MD 323
--Thursday, Oct. 14, 4 pm: Distinguished Lecture in Computational Science
Ben Shneiderman from the University of Maryland will speak on "Information Visualization for Knowledge Discovery." MD G-115 (Co-sponsored with the Computer Science faculty.)
Also of interest may be *today's* CS Colloquium. Details:
> Brian Kernighan of Princeton University will give a talk entitled "The Changing Face of Programming"
>
> Thursday, September 23, 2010
> 4:00 p.m.
> Maxwell Dworkin G-125
>
> Ice cream at 3:30 p.m., MD 2nd floor lounge
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> *"The Changing Face of Programming"
>
> The rapid evolution of languages, tools, environments and expectations presents major challenges and opportunities for programmers and for software engineering education. This is true across all kinds of programming, but is especially so for Web systems, which are now routinely written in untyped scripting languages and include Ajax, mashups, toolkits, frameworks like Rails and Django, and a profusion of interfaces, all operating asynchronously on distributed systems. The growing popularity of phone applications has not made life easier for programmers or instructors.
>
> For the past ten years I have been teaching a course on advanced programming techniques that is more and more stretched between important old material and new unproven material that might be important. In this talk I will illustrate some of the challenges and discuss ways in which we might use complexity and rapid change to advantage.
>
> Host: Michael Mitzenmacher
>
> Brian Kernighan received a BASc from the University of Toronto in 1964 and a PhD in electrical engineering from Princeton in 1969. He was in the Computing Science Research center at Bell Labs until 2000, and is now in the Computer Science Department at Princeton. His research areas include programming languages, tools and interfaces that make computers easier to use, often for non-specialist users. He is also interested in technology education for non-technical audiences.
We hope you'll find these events of interest. In the case that you prefer not to subscribe to IACS-Events, I will include unsubscribe instructions with the first mailing. If you wish for me to delete you now, just send a note.
