Offshore wind energy has emerged as a pivotal player in the transition toward clean energy, and this is particularly true for dense urban coastal cities such as those found on the East Coast of the U.S. where access to other sources of renewable energy are more constrained. As the American leader in offshore wind and recognizing that no large-scale energy project is without potential impacts to wildlife, Ørsted is shaping an industry that can successfully coexist with marine wildlife. Ørsted's principal avian and bat biologist will discuss how Ørsted and other developers are using the mitigation hierarchy approach to strive towards “no net loss” and, in Ørsted's case, towards meeting its ambition to have a net-positive impact on biodiversity for all renewable energy projects commissioned by 2030 or later.

During the 1930s, portrait photographers had redefined the idea of glamour. Previously, a portrait of a movie star would have looked bright and hazy; now, glamour looked darker and harder. In the next decade, Hollywood cinematographers would extend this look to film noir, a cycle of bleak crime films that took full advantage of glamour's connotations of modernity and deception. Examples include Phantom Lady (1944) and The Lady from Shanghai (1947). The talk will be preceded by a screening of Orson Welles' Lady from Shanghai at 3:30 p.m. in Barnum LL08.

She works broadly on social and environmental policy and decision-making. Her research focuses on understanding the interplay between individual, institutional, and ecological factors on perceptions, policy preferences, and resilience to extreme events or shocks. In particular, recent studies look at the role of polarization, social norms, and governance in stimulating or stifling support for climate action. She also works on the impacts and politics of basic income programs. Prior to starting at Northeastern, she was an associate research scholar at Princeton’s School of Public and International Affairs and a lecturer at the High Meadows Environmental Institute. Before this, she was senior research fellow in guaranteed income with the Jain Family Institute and a founding editor at Nature Human Behavior. She received her bachelor’s degree in economics from McGill University, a master’s degree in economics from University College London, and a Ph.D. in cognitive sciences, with a focus on learning and decision-making in dynamic environments, from New York University.

Under the operation of connected sum, the set of 3-manifolds forms a monoid, and modulo an appropriate equivalence relation; this monoid becomes a group. What is the structure of this group? What families of three-manifolds generate (or don’t generate) this group? We give some answers to these questions using Heegaard Floer homology. This is joint work with (various subsets of) I. Dai, K. Hendricks, M. Stoffregen, L. Truong, and I. Zemke.

These interactive sessions will focus on various areas including 'Policy and Global Health' and 'Technology and Global Health'. During these sessions, experts and students will actively work together on real-world challenges through case analysis and collaborative problem-solving. Following these sessions, we will host an open forum discussion where groups can share their ideas and engage in meaningful dialogue, and following this discussion will be an open networking space.
