SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tales of the Maya Skies
DESCRIPTION:Tales of the Maya Skies immerses viewers in the wonders of Maya science\, cosmology and myth. This beautifully illustrated story takes us back in time to the jungles of Mexico to discover how Maya scholars developed a sophisticated understanding of astronomy\, architecture\, and mathematics that enabled them to predict solstices\, solar eclipses\, weather patterns and planetary movements.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  The impact of ephaptic coupling and ionic electrodiffusion on arrhythmogenesis in  the heart
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Cardiac action potential (AP) propagation occurs through gap junction (GJ)-rich intercalated discs (IDs). However\, recent experimental studies show that GJ knockout mice can still maintain heart structure and function\, even though GJs are undetectable at IDs. Ephaptic coupling (EpC)\, an electric field effect across the narrow and tortuous ID\, offers an alternative mechanism for cell-to-cell communication when GJs are impaired. Given the current absence of direct experimental evidence for the existence of EpC\, modeling studies are essential for understanding its physiological and pathological roles in the heart.  Myocardial ischemia\, caused by coronary artery blockage\, induces major electrophysiological and structural remodeling\, including disrupted GJs and steep electrochemical gradients that impair ion channel function and promote arrhythmias. Our research investigates how EpC and ionic electrodiffusion influence conduction and arrhythmogenesis in both healthy and ischemic hearts\, with a focus on EpC mechanisms. We developed first two-dimensional (2D) multidomain electrodiffusion model that incorporates EpC\, laying the groundwork for future mechanistic studies. Our findings demonstrate that sufficiently strong EpC suppresses the initiation of reentry\, leading to absent or nonsustained reentrant activity with a reduced maximum dominant frequency (DF)\, although it can also introduce transient instability and heterogeneity into cardiac dynamics. In contrast\, relatively weak EpC supports sustained reentry\, characterized by a stable rotor and high DF. Strong EpC terminates reentry through self-attenuation\, while moderate EpC terminates reentry through self-collision. Additionally\, strong EpC markedly alters ionic concentrations in the cleft\, significantly increasing [K+]\, nearly depleting [Ca2+]\, and causing moderate changes in [Na+]. This multidomain electrodiffusion model thus provides new insights into the mechanisms of EpC in the heart.\n\nContact:  Trachette Jackson

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Tropical linear series and matroids
DESCRIPTION:I will present a theory of linear series on tropical curves that balances two notions of rank: the Baker-Norine rank from the tropical Riemann-Roch theorem and another idea of rank based on tropical independence. The resulting theory is surprisingly closely related to matroids. Every tropical linear series contains an open dense subset of nondegenerate divisors in a neighborhood of which the tropical linear series of dimension r is locally isomorphic to the Bergman fan of a matroid of rank r + 1.  Moreover\, every matroid appears as such a local matroid of a tropical linear series at a nondegenerate divisor. For instance\, cographic matroids appear as local matroids of canonical linear series at the canonical divisor.\n\nBased on joint work with Chih-Wei Chang\, Matthew Dupraz\, Hernán Iriarte\, David Jensen\, Dagan Karp\, and Jayden Wang. https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.20062

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Ettore Biondi
DESCRIPTION:Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) is rapidly becoming a transformative technology for seismological applications\, leveraging the widespread and expanding global network of telecommunication fibers. Its effectiveness lies in its ability to convert standard fiber-optic cables into dense seismic arrays. However\, the advantages of DAS come with challenges—most notably\, the massive data volumes generated\, often reaching tens of terabytes from a single deployment\, and the unique strain-based measurements that require new data analysis paradigms.
