Finally\, I will explain the proof of the inversion of adjunction for higher rational singularities. My talk will be based on joint work with Tatsuro Kawakami.

Single-cell and spatial expression profiling have emerged as transformative tools to dissect this complexity and help predict cellular and system-level behaviors. Yet\, it remains the case that these insights have not engendered a more hopeful outlook\, such as diagnostic methods and therapeutic agents. This seminar will focus on two defining features of glioblastoma: inflammation and invasion. By examining these phenomena through the lens of cellular states and cell-cell interactions\, we aim to highlight avenues for intervention. Additional attention will be paid to technical aspects: computational and experimental integration to profile and perturb the glioblastoma ecosystem in patients and model systems.

These art-making drop in workshops offer a hands-on way to engage with the ephemera of underground and independent music scenes featured in the Flyover Country exhibition. You will have the opportunity to make the poster for a dream show with a lineup of your favorite bands\, draw a protest flyer\, put together a collage art piece\, or even design a flyer for a real upcoming event you're planning.\nA button maker will be available for anyone who wants to turn a design into a punk-inspired button pin\, all participants will receive a free handout to take home with them.\n\nJanuary 28th workshop participants are also welcome to tape their finished flyers to a shared display wall in the gallery if they choose\, becoming part of the exhibit while it’s on view. \n\nFree coffee\, tea\, and treats will be provided at both workshops on a first-come\, first-served basis.

The observation process is driven by k independent Brownian motions\, while the hidden state takes n+1 values with k
