SUMMARY:Film Screening:T.REX
DESCRIPTION:With stunning CGI visuals and the latest research from leading paleontologists\, the film offers audiences a fresh perspective on the GOAT (Greatest Of All Tyrants): Tyrannosaurus rex. Anchored by the true story of the young fossil hunters who made the discovery of a lifetime when they spotted a large fossilized leg bone on a walk on public lands in North Dakota\, T. REX intercuts the remarkable fossil dig\, with cutting edge computer graphics that bring the iconic T. rex to life—from hatchling to hulking adult. Narrated by Jurassic Park actor Sam Neill\, T. REX explores the newest science that has helped reinvent our understanding of the iconic predator.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Random walks on the chambers of a hyperplane arrangement (Combinatorics Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Consider a real hyperplane arrangement and let C denote the collection of the occuring chambers. Bidigare\, Hanlon and Rockmore introduced a Markov chain on C which is a natural generalization of famous card shuffling models used in computer science\, biology and card games. In this talk\, we will discuss the mixing time of these walks with respect to the separation distance\, with a special focus on lower bounds. I will try to explain both the geometric and the probabilistic techniques used in the problem.
