SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Curiosity as Vice? A Virtuous Approach to Learning in Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Medical training shapes what we know\, but also who we become. Yet too often\, students approach learning with fear\, self-protection and the need to appear certain. Dr. Benjamin Frush invites us to imagine another way — one that views the unknown as opportunity\, knowledge as something to share and humility as a source of strength. Drawing on theologian Paul Griffiths’ distinction between the vice of curiositas and the virtue of studiositas\, Dr. Frush explores how a healthier moral posture toward learning can transform both medical education and patient care. \n\nDr. Benjamin Frush\, MD\, MA\, is a palliative care physician and the McDonald Agape Fellow in Bioethics at the Kennedy Institute of Ethics at Georgetown University. He is a former fellow at the Theology\, Medicine\, and Culture Fellowship at Duke Divinity School\; a current bioethics scholar at the Paul Ramsey Institute\; and a former fellow at the Fellowship at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics (FASPE). His work in AMA Journal of Ethics\, Perspectives in Biology and Medicine and Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics focuses on virtue\, moral formation and end-of-life care. We first heard him speak at the Conference on Medicine and Religion and knew right away we had to bring him as a speaker. You won’t want to miss this conversation.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Seminar Series - Trait complexity in squamate reptiles and its effects on evolutionary analyses
DESCRIPTION:Description: Functional and phenotypic traits are used as tools for studying evolutionary diversification and ecological interactions. However\, many features that constitute these traits are complex\, multidimensional and challenging to quantify. In this presentation\, I investigate how representations of the same biological trait can influence downstream assessments of evolutionary outcomes. I use snake diets as a case study\, with diet acting as a case example of an ecological trait that can be represented under different biological criteria. I will apply a similar approach to a color pattern dataset of Australian lizards (Ctenotus) in the remainder of my dissertation and will use multiple scoring and modeling approaches to test how color pattern has evolved within in this genus. Finally\, I will leverage phylogenomic and microhabitat data to explore the distribution of color patterns in populations undergoing different stages of speciation and apply this knowledge to improve understanding of species boundaries between Ctenotus. In doing so\, I will provide a more holistic view of how organisms and their traits evolve over time.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:For All Ages Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:In the 19th century\, new ideas about childhood and education\, along with advances in printing like chromolithography\, made it possible to mass-produce games and toys. These were not only fun to play with but also taught practical skills and moral lessons. Learn about familiar and unique toys and board games throughout American history in the William L. Clements Library’s new exhibit\, “For All Ages” on view weekdays from 12-4 pm between October 3-January 5.\n\nEven though the objects are behind glass\, the co-curators have created an interactive way to explore the display. Visit the exhibit to participate in a scavenger hunt and win a prize!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Authoritarian Absorption: The Transnational Remaking of Epidemic Politics in China
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/E8D82\n\nChallenging conventional wisdom crediting domestic factors with shaping health institutions\, this talk demonstrates how foreign organizations\, government agencies\, and grassroots activists collectively transformed China’s epidemic governance. Under pressure from international norms and donors (especially from the U.S. and U.K.)\, Chinese officials selectively absorbed Western epidemiology and liberal practices such as community participation\, human rights discourse\, and NGO engagement to enhance China’s global standing. Rather than promoting political liberalization\, these engagements enabled the state to build a professionalized yet stratified disease surveillance system that laid the groundwork for its COVID-19 responses. This hybrid system empowered certain groups such as urban gay men to gain state recognition and resources\, while making other marginalized populations invisible. This talk corrects a core misconception—that liberal diffusion and authoritarian expansion are opposite—by revealing their mutual constitution in biomedical politics. \n\n   Yan Long is an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of California\, Berkeley. She is a political and organizational sociologist whose research explores the interplay between globalization and authoritarian politics\, with a focus on public health\, civic action\, and urban development. Her work has been published in leading journals such as the American Journal of Sociology\, Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory\, and Social Science & Medicine\, earning her over ten national awards. She is currently investigating how digital technology shapes urban governance during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
