Led by Eileen Crehan, Assistant Professor of Child Study and Human Development at Tufts. Our understanding of autism has deepened in recent decades but our educational, legal, and health systems still maintain outdated views on neurodiversity. We will share some of the research on current trends in accessibility of these systems and how we can change them.

Led by Andrew West, Lecturer in Chemistry at Tufts We will explore the diversity of stars in the Galaxy and learn how they produce light. We will also learn about the various paths that stars take during their evolution and why this is important to making the air we breathe and most of the atoms in our body. We will briefly discuss white dwarfs, neutron stars, supernova and even black holes - but mostly, you will walk away with a new appreciation for your stellar origins.

Led by Noah Mendelsohn, Professor of Computer Science at Tufts. Many people know that computers "have lots of bits", but what is a bit? The answer leads us to information theory, one of the most beautiful and philosophically important developments of the 20th century. Deep understanding of bits and information storage is fundamental to understanding how computers can process not just numbers, but words, pictures, music etc. The material covered is essential for any good computer programmer, and is also useful and interesting to a wide range of audiences (no technical or math background required).

Led by Sam Sommers, Professor of Psychology at Tufts.How accurate is eyewitness testimony? How effective are polygraph tests? What factors influence a jury's deliberations? Drawing on perspectives from various areas of the field, psychological scientists have examined wide range of topics within the legal system, including police interrogations, lie detection, eyewitness memory, jury selection, jury decision-making, and the insanity defense. In this mock class, we will discuss highlights from this growing area of research, as well as the general benefits and limitations of efforts to apply psychological research to the real-world domain of the legal system.
