IUPUI University Library Lilly Auditorium
On Thursday, October 29, 2020 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., Professor Peter Schubert, the 2020 Bantz-Petronio Translating Research Into Practice Awardee, hosted an inaugural brain-storming session to develop innovative ways to use clothing to power electronic devices and much more. This was a multi-disciplinary, campus-wide project. Faculty, students, and staff were encouraged to share their creativity in this fun, engaging, and interactive event.
Alan Di Sciullo's account of the beginning of his involvement with the Youth Franchise Coalition, his testimony before Congress, and the legacy of the 18-year-old vote today.
Dr. Douglas Hofstadter has researched, written, discovered and created many things - his expertise runs from cognitive science to literature, to language, and to art.
His 1979 book Goedel, Escher, Bach became a classic in the popular understanding of the workings of our brain. Professor Hofstadter has since written many things - some playful inquiries, some piercing meditations, some all at once. Since 1977, he has held a professorship at IU that started in computer science and has spanned many departments.
Dean Shanahan, Professor Elaine Monaghan and Producer Violet Baron sat down with Professor Hofstadter to hear his take on his writings, and on using musings on language to take on life.
Nuclear magnet resonance (NMR) is a powerful technique to detect and characterize the 3D structures, dynamics, and interactions of biomacromolecules. With respect to drug targets, this methodology provides an excellent tool for the identification of small organic molecules that bind weakly to a target macromolecule as fragments of candidate inhibitors. In this presentation, Ratan K. Rai, PhD (Assistant Research Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Indiana University School of Medicine) explains the principles of NMR and its application as a tool for fragment-based drug discovery. Strategies to utilize this approach are described to identify and validate initial hits. The Chemical Genomics Core Facility is equipped with a 600 MHz solution NMR with cryo-probe for the structure elucidation of biomolecules and studies of ligand interactions.

Spiritual Ecology: Anishinaabe knowledge with Deborah McGregor
In this series, we ask, how can spiritual connection with our environment help us enter into right and restorative relationship with the earth, including human and nonhuman inhabitants?
Deborah McGregor, who is Anishinaabe from Whitefish River First Nation and a scholar of law and the environment at York University, helps us understand how spirituality and ecology intertwine in ways more complex than we typically articulate.

This fall, the IU Libraries is launching two exciting new services: IU DataCORE, for storage and access of IU research data, and Digital Collections, for managing and delivering digitized images, books, newspapers, sheet music, and archival collections . These IU-wide services were conceived as part of the Enterprise Scholarly Systems (ESS) initiative, a partnership between the IU Libraries, IUPUI University Library, and UITS. Both services are built using the Samvera Community’s open source Hyrax repository platform. They represent a new, modern way of managing and proving access to our unique digital collections using software collaboratively developed by several partner institutions including IU. This talk will provide an overview of both services, providing insight into their history, technologies, and plans for the future.
This week: The Office of the Indiana State Chemist is considering some state-specific restrictions on dicamba, and climate activists discuss what steps President-elect Biden should take to combat climate change once he's in office.
Now deep in the holiday season, even in 2020, we have much to celebrate. But, in the U.S. especially, celebration can lead to a spike in emissions and waste from travel (despite CDC recommendations), obligatory gift-giving, temporary decorations, and feasts.
In this episode, we don't tell you to sit alone in a dark room and gnaw on the stems from your windowsill herb garden. Mental and physical health are inseparable and important, so we outline ways to think and act more sustainably while still having a wonderful holiday time.

In this series, we ask, how can spiritual connection with our environment help us enter into right and restorative relationship with the earth, including human and nonhuman inhabitants?
By talking with folks from different faith traditions, we investigate what spiritual connection is and how it happens, the composition of the environment, and the potential for spiritual connection to meaningfully affect the destructive human systems responsible for climate change.
In this episode, the Rev. Mitch Hescox discusses his work with the Evangelical Environmental Network, understandings of creation care, and so much more.
