SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Drug Discovery Lecture Series: \"Early Clinical Research Takes Patients”
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the key factors involved in running successful clinical proof-of-concept studies.\n\nStrategies for studying new drug candidates in early clinical testing have changed dramatically over the last few years as the industry and regulators respond to increasing public expectations for access to more effective and safer medicines.\n\nFor drug developers\, establishing Clinical Proof-of-Concept (CPoC) has become critically important in determining whether or not to make further investments of time and effort into a new drug therapy.  This in turn drives the need for earlier access to patients and robust clinical biomarkers of effect\, safety and patient selection.\n\nThis presentation will focus on strategies and challenges in working with patients to establish CPoC with examples of success.  \n\nAbout the speaker\nAs Vice President of Global Drug Development\, Dr. Pritchard leads a global team of drug development and regulatory affairs experts\, project management professionals and alliance managers that work actively with clients to bring their drug products efficiently through early clinical testing.\n\nDr. Pritchard brings 30 years of drug development experience to his work\, including pre-registration work on five currently marketed pharmaceuticals and several that are currently in clinical development. Leveraging his experience in leading international teams of scientists at large pharmaceutical companies\, Dr. Pritchard founded and led a group of consultants and program directors within a full service CRO that collectively worked on nearly 40 integrated drug development programs\, bringing several of these through IND into phase I and II clinical trials.\n\nDr. Pritchard has given numerous invited lectures at scientific meetings and academic institutions and is an author on over 120 scientific publications and abstracts. He is the 2000 Alumni Fellow of the Penn State College of Medicine\, and named one of nine “Notable People in Pharmaceutical R&D” by R&D Directions magazine in 2009. He currently serves on the Therapy Acceleration Program Committee for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS)\, the LLS North Carolina Chapter Board of Trustees and the Executive Committee of the Research Triangle Park Drug Metabolism Discussion Group where he has been past Chair and Treasurer.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Albert Kahn: Under Construction
DESCRIPTION:In the past two decades there has been a tremendous swell of interest in Detroit architect Albert Kahn (1869–1942)\, arguably the most important architect of American industrialization. Albert Kahn: Under Construction focuses on the remarkable archive of photographs assembled by Albert Kahn Associates while building the powerhouses of American industry\, from the Highland Park Ford Plant to the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Shot by an array of professional photographers based mainly in Detroit\, these often striking documentary images were a novel strategy for conveying information about the daily progress of construction to busy managers at the main office. The exhibition foregrounds the photographic series as a way of illustrating change over time—showing buildings as they grew on site—and Kahn’s innovative solutions to the architectural challenges of his day.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Siebren Versteeg: LIKE II (2016)
DESCRIPTION:In Siebren Versteeg’s LIKE II (2016)\, a computer painting program creates a composition using a continuously changing algorithm\, and then runs a periodic Google search to find a matching image online. Every sixty seconds\, the painting made by the computer is uploaded to Google’s “search by image” feature\, and images that most closely match the composition are then downloaded and displayed.\n\nThe notion of abstraction plays a central role in this work. Throughout modernity\, artists have sought inventive ways to free painting from its tradition as a representational medium. LIKE II inverts this ambition\, finding the reality hidden within pure abstraction. Because the work evolves based on whatever content is available online at any given moment\, the artist relinquishes a certain degree of creative control. Versteeg says\, “As the nature of the images presented by the work is random\, the artist assumes both all and no responsibility for their presence and content.”\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits
DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. The subjects in Miner Portraits are coal miners working in harsh conditions in contemporary China. Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976 depicts people who lived—known and unknown\, and some of whom eventually perished—during the turbulent time of the Cultural Revolution. By portraying these individuals with monumentality and poignant realism\, Xu Weixin brings our focus to their lives and ordeals\, inviting an emotional connection. Reflecting the artist’s deep interest in the human condition\, these single-person portraits challenge our expectations and compel us to see beyond official narratives of historical events and social conditions. Xu Weixin is currently a professor of painting and the former executive dean of the School of Arts\, Renmin University\, Beijing.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Shodo
DESCRIPTION:Shodo is the art of drawing characters with brush and ink to express spiritual depth through the beauty of brush strokes. It began in China\, but in Japan both Kanji (Chinese characters) and Kana (Japanese phonetic characters) are combined to create a uniquely Japanese art. By controlling the thickness and tone of the characters\, the calligrapher expresses his or her own spirit and thought. The drawing process encourages calming of the mind and peacefulness. This class for those over 50 meets for two hours.  Tools are provided for classroom use only. Because we will be using black ink\, it is advised to bring a smock or cloth that can be washed. \n \nInstructor:    Konomi Shinohara Corbin

SUMMARY:Other:Organic Reactions Symposium
DESCRIPTION:N-Alkylated 2-pyridones are an important class of heterocycles that are found commonly in both natural products and pharmacologically active structures. Interest in these compounds stems from their ability to serve as models for hydrogen bonding\, tautomerization\, and proton shuttling in both chemical and biological processes. As such\, the development of methods for the synthesis of functionally diverse N-alkyl 2-pyridone-containing scaffolds continues to be important. With this goal in mind\, our group has developed a suite of reactions that convert O-propargyloxypyridines into a diverse array of useful platforms\, including β-iodo N-alkenyl 2-pyridones and α-(N-2-pyridonyl)ketones. These transformations occur upon treatment with either lithium iodide or gold(III) and proceed via either a 5-exo and 6-endo reaction pathway. Under gold(I) catalysis\, we have shown that both the 5-exo and 6-endo reaction pathways are accessible simultaneously\, as products derived from both modes of cyclization are observed. The evolution of our research program and investigations into the gold(I)-catalyzed system will be discussed.\nMatt  Sigman\, University of Utah\n Bringing Modern Data Analysis Tools to Prediction in Catalyst Discovery\nCarolyn Anderson\, Calvin College\n New Methods for the Synthesis of N-Substituted 2-Pyridones

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:A Tale of Two “Villas”: Luxury\, Wine\, and Water and the Last Years of Oplontis
DESCRIPTION:The same eruption that destroyed the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum also claimed the seaside area of ancient Oplontis\, now buried under the modern town of Torre Annunziata. Though archaeologists in the nineteen-sixties and seventies uncovered the sites of what they would label Oplontis Villas A and B\, it was not until 2005 that a comprehensive study would begin under the Oplontis Project. Michael Thomas\, co-director of the project\, takes us through the years leading up to the eruption.  During that time the two sites Villa A—a luxury villa known to many as the Villa of Poppea—would undergo a major renovation only to be abandoned soon after.  In contrast\, the mislabeled Villa B would thrive as a bustling center of commerce\, still active in the wine trade up until the moment of the eruption.\n\nThe special exhibition \"Leisure and Luxury in the Age of Nero: The Villas of Oplontis Near Pompeii\" will be open from 4:00-6:00pm prior to the lecture.

SUMMARY:Performance:Chris Smither
DESCRIPTION:Honing a synthesis of folk and blues for 50 years\, Chris Smither is truly an American original. After a series of timeless records dating back to the early 1970s\, Chris' newest release\, \"Still On the Levee\,\" is a career-spanning retrospective double CD. The record highlights the vast catalog of an American music master. Reviewers and fans from around the world agree that Chris is a profound songwriter\, a blistering guitarist and\, as he puts it\, a \"one-man band to the bone.\" Chris melds the styles of his two major influences\, Lightnin' Hopkins and Mississippi John Hurt\, into his own signature guitar sound. His music continues to draw deeply from the blues\, American folk music\, modern poets\, and humanist philosophers. Chris may be best known for writing \"Love You Like A Man\,\" which Bonnie Raitt and more recently jazz great Kelly Clarkson have covered. His music has been covered by numerous artists and featured in soundtrack albums\, independent film\, television and commercials\, and at The Ark he has a meeting of the minds with audiences that occurs in very few other places.
