Iconoclash: Trafficking Cultural Materials: Appropriation of Mankind's Property

source: New York University 2016年5月16日
NYU Washington, DC welcomed Douglas Boin, Tess Davis and Iris Gerlach, who discussed trafficking as the irreversible appropriation of cultural properties which contribute to humanity’s richness. Their destruction and, to no lesser degree, their trafficking destroy invaluable foundations in the self-awareness of mankind’s history and development. How can reproductions replace the fundamental contribution of the originals? How does the growing demand for antique cultural treasures impact preservation and protection? How does private ownership relate to common property in terms of U.N. standards? Alexander Nagel moderated the discussion.

Harvard restores its famed Glass Flowers

source: Harvard University 2016年5月17日
Harvard’s Glass Flowers, the famed Ware Collection of Blaschka Glass Models of Plants, have returned to display in a refurbished gallery, which shows the iconic collection in new light — literally. The collection, which includes more than 4,000 models, was created by Leopold and Rudolph Blaschka, glass artists from Dresden Germany, over five decades beginning in 1886. Their astonishing accuracy can again be seen after the refurbished gallery reopens in the Harvard Museum of Natural History on May 21.

Gender Equality with Iris Bohnet

source: The RSA 2016年6月14日
Gender equality with Iris Bohnet. Gender equality is a business imperative, but unconscious bias can hold us back. De-biasing people’s minds has proven difficult. Iris Bohnet, professor of public policy at Harvard University, demonstrates the tools we need to eliminate gender-based inequality, from classrooms to boardrooms, and offers new research-based solutions for improving businesses, governments and people’s lives.

Ghayda Mirzaa: Megalencephaly Syndromes, Megaplex & the New Paradigm for Molecular Testing for Pediatric Disorders

source: UWTV 2016年5月12日
Mutations within the PI3K-AKT-MTOR related pathway have been identified in a wide variety of developmental phenotypes including overgrowth, vascular malformations, epilepsy and autism. The broad and variable clinical spectrum and low-level mosaicism found in many of these disorders pose significant challenges to conventional molecular diagnostic approaches. In this talk, Assistant Professor Dr. Ghayda Mirzaa discusses this interesting spectrum, including most up to date clinical and molecular discoveries, and highlight future molecularly-targeted therapeutic approaches.
