DARING TO REST: A Fall Workshop for the UCI School of Physical Sciences
Facilitated by Prof. Aomawa Shields, UCI Department of Physics and Astronomy
On Monday, July 8th, NASA Astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson will video call AirUCI from the International Space Station at 1:00 pm Pacific time to answer questions we have compiled over the last few weeks.
Tracy is an honorary member and alumna of AirUCI and is now on her third trip to space. She launched in late March for a six-month mission aboard the ISS and offered us this special opportunity, which we will share and record for later viewing.
The ice sheets near the Earth’s poles contain ancient ice formed from continuous snow accumulation over thousands of years. Using ice cores, scientists can study the old air trapped in the ice, which unlocks mysteries of Earth’s environmental history.
Faculty across the School of Physical Sciences are invited to join the first The Institute for Meaningful Engagement Workshop led by TIME in partnership with Professor Joe Patterson from the Chemistry Department to learn about how to positively influence the persistence and retention rates of minoritized students in STEM.
In this workshop, choreographer Reggie Wilson and mathematician Jesse Wolfson will lead participants through an embodied exploration of kinesthetic space. Our goal is to introduce participants to both choreographic and mathematical methods for exploring, probing and conceptualizing space, and how these overlap, interact and draw on different aspects of perceptual and movement practices.
