Math search candidate lecture "Exploring the Workings of the Brain using Mathematics"
Wednesday, April 9, 2008
Dr. Cliona Golden, candidate for the visiting position in Mathematics will present "Exploring the Workings of the Brain using Mathematics"
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or fMRI, is a non-invasive brain imaging technique with great potential to improve our understanding of the workings of the human brain. An fMRI scanner indirectly measures "brain activity" which contains information about different operations controlled by the brain. The aim is to extract that information from the fMRI data and this poses a mathematical challenge which calls for innovative tools from areas including statistics, signal processing and functional analysis. I will discuss methods and findings from our long-term collaboration with fMRI neuroscientists.

2% Solution (Focus the Nation)
Wednesday, January 30, 2008
Focus the Nation will stream a free, live, interactive webcast. Produced with the support of the National Wildlife Federation, and hosted on Earth Day Network TV, the heart of the webcast will be audience-based discussion of global warming solutions, including opportunities for audiences to weigh in with cell phone voting. Why the title? To hold global warming to the low end of 3-4 degrees F will require cuts in global warming pollution in the developed countries by more than 80% below current levels by 2050. We need to cut ~ 2% a year for the next 40 years. The webcast will revolve around the question: can we as a nation get on to this path, and cut global warming pollution 2% a year for the next decade? If so, what would it take?

Lecture: "Saving Sight and Gaining Insight: A Drug is Born"
Thursday, March 1, 2007
Laszlo Bito '60, professor emeritus of ocular physiology at Columbia University.

Join Laszlo Bito, novelist and inventor of a successful glaucoma drug, for a talk on how science and the arts enrich each other as career choices. Hear the real story behind the development of a best-selling drug, from its inception in the laboratory through clinical research and litigation. Learn what it is like to publish a novel and have it translated into several languages.

Born in Budapest in 1934, just in time to be aware of the atrocities of World War II, Bito realized that contrary to the biblical story of Isaac God never stays the murderous hand. As a forced laborer in a decrepit coal mine, Bito secretly began to write short stories. Forty years later he published his first novel, Abraham and Isaac.

Bito fled to America to escape the retributions against those who took part in the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. His first home here was Bard College, where he arrived in the winter field period of 1956—57. He graduated from Bard in 1960 as a pre-med major and from Columbia University in ’64 with a Ph.D. in biophysics and cell biology. He retired as professor emeritus from Columbia University in 1997 after inventing a
glaucoma drug that has saved the sight of millions around the world. Come and be persuaded to follow more than one of your passions. Life is too long to be filled with just one avocation.

BARD HOSTS MEETING OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY
Saturday, October 8, 2005 - Sunday, October 9, 2005
Bard College will host the 2005 Fall Eastern Section Meeting of the American Mathematical Society October 8-9. Approximately 300 mathematicians from 34 states and 14 countries will gather at the College for the meeting, where a wide variety of topics in advanced mathematics will be discussed.

Two faculty members from the Bard College Mathematics Program, Lauren L. Rose and Sheila Sundaram, are organizing sessions during the meeting. "The conference is an exciting opportunity for mathematics and science majors at Bard to see a large gathering of world-class mathematicians in action, and will help to give students a flavor of what research mathematicians do outside the classroom," said Rose.

A highlight of the conference will be the Erdős Memorial Lecture, given by Persi Diaconis will and titled "Erdős’s Picture of Most Things," on Saturday October 8, from 5:15 to 6:15 p.m. at the Olin Hall auditorium. The lecture is an annual invited address made possible by a fund created by Andrew Beal, a Dallas banker, and named for the prolific mathematician Paul Erdős (1913-1996). Diaconis, an accomplished magician as well as an engaging mathematician, is the Mary V. Sunseri Professor of Statistics and Mathematics at Stanford University.

The meeting includes four more invited addresses, two on each day, covering a wide spectrum of mathematics. All of the invited addresses will be given in the auditorium of Olin Hall.

Screening: Death by Design
Tuesday, May 17, 2005
Death by Design, a 1985 film by Peter Friedman and neurobiologist Jean-François Brunet, combines the worlds of art and science that illuminate the life of cells. “A perfect introduction to cell biology . . . there can be few happier marriages between the two cultures of scientific enquiry and the humanities than this enthralling documentary,” notes Peter Tallack in Nature. “It stimulates both curiosity and the imagination; illuminates the world of cells with great charm and unpretentious artistry; and explains its biological wonders with poetic clarity. Leeuwenhoek would have been dying to see it.”
Time: 2:30 pm
Location: Campus Center, Weis Cinema
