These actions have sent shockwaves across the global health community, and led to interruptions in care provision for HIV, tuberculosis, maternal and child health, and many other conditions. At the same time, personnel changes in the U.S. government have led to concerns about the future of U.S. domestic public health and funding of medical research. In this talk, Professor Gregg Gonsalves will provide his thoughts on the path forward, informed by his decades of experience as an activist, advocate, and academic in global and domestic public health.

Data physicalizations create tangible, embodied representations of data, engaging both creators and audiences in the labor behind the data, its contents, and presentation. Participants of all experience levels with data analysis, visualization, and craft are welcome to join this interactive workshop and discussion where we will examine datasets from a data feminist framework before exploring data physicalization. The workshop will guide participants through the basics of weaving, but you are welcome to bring supplies and explore visualization through felting, crochet, drawing, or whatever interests you. The workshop is scheduled until 1 p.m., but we will stick around for open creative time. Please bring a laptop.

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.
