SUMMARY:Gallery Opening
DESCRIPTION:GALLERY OPENING: MOHAMAD HAFEZ: UNSETTLED NOSTALGIA: February 10 – March 6 \nOpening Reception:\nThursday\, Feb 10\, 2022\, 6 to 8 p.m.\nthe Gallery at the Visual & Performing Arts Center\,\nWestside Campus \nA Syrian-American artist and architect\, Mohamad Hafez was born in Damascus\, raised in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia\, and educated in the Midwestern United States. Expressing the juxtaposition of East and West within him\, Hafez’s art reflects the political turmoil in the Middle East through the compilation of found objects\, paint\, and scrap metal. Using his architectural skills\, Hafez creates surrealistic Middle Eastern streetscapes that are architectural in their appearance yet politically charged in their content which addresses the devastation of war\, feelings of displacement\, and nostalgia for home. \nThe Department of Art was awarded a $13\,000 National Endowment for the Arts “Project Grant” to support “The Home Project\,” in which Hafez will pursue an extensive program of collaborative art installations and exhibition\, student mentoring\, public lectures\, and other activities during a year-long residency in the WCSU Department of Art that will begin in August and continue through the end of the 2021-22 academic year. Through these diverse and interactive exchanges\, he will draw from his unique experiences and artistic works to challenge participants in the project to create their own artistic interpretations of the meaning and concept of home to be exhibited alongside his work in the exhibition. \nGallery Hours: Monday–Friday noon to 4 p.m.\, Saturday–Sunday 1 to 4 p.m.

SUMMARY:COVID-19: Perspectives from a Data Scientist
DESCRIPTION:COVID-19: PERSPECTIVES FROM A DATA SCIENTIST: This is a talk by Dr. Rick Lawrence\, a Data Scientist who currently works on the COVID-19 Task force in Ridgefield. The discussion will be at 5:30 p.m. in Room 125 of the Science Building on the Midtown campus. \nWe begin with an overview of the COVID-19 data reported by the CDC and the State of Connecticut\, and describe the data-science framework we have developed to ingest and analyze this data. We then address the following key questions from a pure data-science perspective: \n1. What is the current state of the pandemic in the US and Connecticut? \n2. Based on the latest vaccination data\, will the US reach herd immunity? \n3. Do masks reduce COVID infection rates? \n4. What is the relationship between vaccination rates\, natural immunity\, and new case rates? \nWe conclude with some personal perspectives on the convergence of COVID data science and political science. Our goal is to have this talk accessible to both data scientists as well as a more general audience.

SUMMARY:Marine Organisms
DESCRIPTION:RESILIENCE OF MARINE ORGANISMS TO CLIMATE CHANGE: DR. EMMA CROSS: Please join us for a live online seminar at 4 p.m. sponsored by the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences. \nYou can register for the event at this link to receive the information to join the seminar: \nhttps://wcsu.webex.com/webappng/sites/wcsu/meeting/info/480684a56b3b412ab6f98c127a64af0f?isPopupRegisterView=true \nAbstract: Since the Industrial Revolution\, anthropogenically-increased CO2 has altered oceanic surface seawaters through warming and acidification. Coastal environments also experience nutrient pollution\, which increases primary production and microbial respiration often exacerbating acidification and causing loss of oxygen. Previous ocean acidification research has mainly focused on short-term laboratory manipulations of conditions. Incorporating different approaches investigating both the impacts of past and future environmental change provides a more complete understanding of organisms’ responses. My research involves field analyses\, long-term laboratory experiments and museum collections to more accurately determine how seaweed\, marine invertebrates and vertebrates have and will respond to climate change. In this seminar\, I will discuss how some shell-bearing organisms have compensatory mechanisms to counteract effects of ocean acidification\, how coastal marine fish are tolerant of future predicted acidification and hypoxia as well as how the shellfish aquaculture industry can incorporate seaweed to their operations as a climate change mitigation strategy. \nBio: Dr. Emma Cross is an assistant professor of Coastal and Marine Science in the Department of the Environment\, Geography and Marine Sciences since August 2019. Before SCSU\, Cross completed her Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge and the British Antarctic Survey and then moved across the pond for a postdoctoral research fellow position at the University of Connecticut. Cross teaches a range of hands-on marine science and environmental studies classes covering topical issues such as climate change\, plastic pollution\, overfishing and habitat destruction. Her research focuses on the effects of ocean acidification\, warming and hypoxia on seaweed\, marine invertebrates\, and vertebrates. Cross’ current projects include climate change mitigation strategies for the aquaculture industry and the environmental impacts of aquaculture on water quality and biodiversity. Cross uses field analyses\, long-term laboratory experiments and museum collections as well as collaborations with the aquaculture industry and nonprofit organizations in New England to address topical marine science issues.
