[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [Aspuru-meetings-list] Group Meeting, June 11, 2:30 PM, Div Room

by Ian Kivlichan

Hi all, Tomorrow's group meeting will be given by Dmitrij. The title and abstract are included inline after this message. Best, Ian ------------------------------------- TITLE: Chemical Reaction Networks for Fun and Non-Profit SPEAKER: Dmitrij Rappoport ABSTRACT: Complex reaction networks are the rule rather than the exception in chemistry. In this talk, I will touch on their role in the origin of life, chemical reactivity, and metabolism and outline some of the ways, in which chemical reaction networks might be useful as conceptual or computational tools. _______________________________________________ Aspuru-meetings-list mailing list Aspuru-meetings-list(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu https://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/aspuru-meetings-list

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Aspuru-Guzik Group - Summer Students and Lab Space

by Marlon Cummings

Dear friends: Summer is upon us and our students have arrived. *Just a couple logistical updates.* Jarrod, please clean your computer. I need your desk for Kelsey Justis who will be working with Gian and Salvatore. He arrives next week. Don't forget to mail your office key. Ryan, can you ask someone to clean your computer. I will need this desk for another visitor. Also, please mail your office key. Can the occupants of MCB 1st floor clean the office space and dispose of ........ Please do that today. We may have REU admins visiting the labs. The three REU students will reside next to Thomas on the 5th floor of MCB. Peter, we will need the space left of your desk for one student. The other two will sit in the two empty spaces near Thomas. For the guys in Converse, lets try to use the empty desks where Changwon and James are located. If needed, we may need to rotate students in that area. Martin, Thomas, and Borja. Once I get the REU IDs I will get them door access to both buildings as well as keys. Thanks, MC. --------------- *Marlon G.

by Ian Kivlichan

Hi all, Tomorrow's group meeting will be given by Semion (title and abstract inline after this message). Best, Ian ------------------------------------- TITLE: Brain project ABSTRACT: I will tell you about a new project that I have started working on just a few months ago. This study is focused on modeling of association between signals in small networks of neurons, which is also known as Pavlovian conditioning and which forms a basis for our learning capabilities. I plan to give a basic introduction into the project and its motivations, then I will discuss physical mechanisms responsible for the neuron plasticity and specific organization of neuron microcircuits in the amygdala part of the brain, where one of canonical types of signal conditioning occurs. _______________________________________________ Aspuru-meetings-list mailing list Aspuru-meetings-list(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu https://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/aspuru-meetings-list
