Saturday, November 21, 2009 | 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Keynote Speakers: Sidney Nagel (University of Chicago) and David Goldhaber-Gordon (Stanford University)
Graduate students in condensed matter physics have come together to organize this biannual conference. Students, postdocs and faculty should come to share ideas and research with fellow physicists training and working in the NYC Metropolitan Area.
January 12 - April 6, 2010
Lead Instructor: David Anthony (21 Ventures, LLC) and additional guest lecturers (TBA)
A course for those in science and technology who want to know how to take the right idea from the bench to the marketplace.
Wednesday, January 13, 2010 | 9:30 AM - 5:30 PM
Organizers: David Eliezer (Weill Medical College of Cornell University), David Stokes (NYU School of Medicine), and Hao Wu (Weill Medical College of Cornell University)
The New York Area Structural Biology Discussion Group convenes twice annually and presents talks and poster sessions from graduate students, postdocs, and laboratory heads.
Monday, November 9, 2009 | 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Speaker: Lisa Borland, PhD (Evnine and Associates)
Dr. Lisa Borland applies methods from theoretical physics to understand the dynamics of financial markets. At this symposium, she will present her recent work “Statistical Signatures in Times of Panic: Markets as a Self-Organizing System”.
Thursday, October 15, 2009 | 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Speakers: Gregory Provan (University of Cork), Kurt Roth (Fraunhofer Center for for Sustainable Energy Systems), Stephen Samouhos (MIT), and Jane Snowdon (IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center)
Advances toward low-energy buildings depend on advances in building system controls. This meeting will highlight case studies demonstrating state-of-the art technologies in building controls systems and performance data collection and analysis.
July 8 - 9, 2009
Expert panels will discuss business opportunities and challenges in solar energy and energy storage, and entrepreneurs will pitch their business plans to a panel of investors and financial industry experts.
Friday, June 12, 2009 | 8:30 AM - 6:00 PM
Organizers: Jin Ryoun Kim (Polytechnic Institute of New York University), Ronald L. Koder (The City College of New York/CUNY), Jin K. Montclare (Polytechnic Institute of New York University) and Vikas Nanda (Rutgers University)
The New York Academy of Sciences' Physical Sciences and Engineering Program, in conjunction with Polytechnic Institute of NYU and The City College of New York/CUNY, will host a day-long symposium focusing on protein design, a subject that lies at the interface of chemistry, biology, engineering and computer science.

eBriefing
Speakers: John Koh (University of Delaware), Akira Kawamura (Hunter College, City University of New York), and Tom Kodadek (The Scripps Research Institute)
From traditional Asian herbs to high-tech computational approaches, chemical biologists are using everything in their arsenal to identify promising new drug candidates.
eBriefing
Keynote Speaker: Adrian Whitty (Boston University)
In this new eBriefing, graduate students and postdocs from chemical biology labs around the New York area describe efforts to find and synthesize molecules that bind to proteins or DNA in useful ways.
eBriefing
Organizers: Anthony Atala (Wake Forest University), Stacie Bloom (New York Academy of Sciences), Yilin Cao (Shanghai Jiao Tong University), Anita Chong (The University of Chicago), Stefanie Dimmeler (University of Frankfurt), Michael P. Sheetz (Columbia University), Qiming Zhan (Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences), Alex Zhang (Sanofi Aventis), Chunhua Zhao (Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences)
A recent international conference in Beijing focused on exciting developments in fields like stem cell biology, tissue engineering, and xenotransplantation. A new eBriefing documents the event.
eBriefing
Speakers: Cynthia Rosenzweig (NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies), Dickson Despommier (Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health), Ted Caplow (BrightFarm Systems)
As a new eBriefing reports, climate change impacts, population growth, rapid urbanization, food safety concerns, and the destructive nature of conventional agriculture together argue for pursuing sustainable agriculture in cities.
eBriefing
A four-part series on sustainable building design.
The fourth and final event in this series focused on how financial incentives and valuation can promote sustainable building. Our eBriefing documents the entire series.
