Pint of Science: How brains see, move, and navigate the world

From optical illusions in humans and flies to the neural roots of cannabis use risk, and the brain’s role in turning thought into movement. Tonight explores how perception, decision-making, and motor control intertwine. These talks reveal surprising truths about how our brains sense, decide, and act.

Pint of Science is back this year on May 20 and 21 with a wide array of cool talks by your local scientists and colleagues! Grab a pint and some bites and listen to some fascinating work being done here in New Haven!

Pint of Science: Born to branch, wired to heal

Location: The Cannon, 135 Dwight St.

Description:

From the branching of neurons that powers our thoughts to the renewal of our skin, our bodies constantly grow, repair, and adapt. Explore how neural branching shapes brain function and connectivity, then uncover the secrets of skin healing—and why it can’t fully regenerate. Together, these talks reveal the dynamic processes that keep us wired, protected, and ever-evolving.

Pint of Science: Peering into the unknown

From the elusive Higgs boson to the vast reaches of the cosmos, our universe holds deep mysteries. Discover how particle physics challenges the Standard Model, explore black holes, dark matter, and hidden dimensions, and uncover how starquakes let us peer inside stars. These talks take us to the frontiers of discovery, where the smallest and largest scales collide.

NPA Seminar: Mike Sas, Utrecht University

Talk Title: Exploring quark-gluon plasma temperatures using thermal photon and dilepton production

Abstract:

Thermal electromagnetic radiation is emitted all throughout the space-time evolution of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), which we are able to create in heavy-ion collisions at CERN. The production rate of this radiation depends on the QGP temperature, which is a key parameter to understand the dynamics of the system. So far there is no high precision measurement of the QGP temperature at LHC energies.

Introduction to AI/ML on HPC clusters

Introduction to AI/ML on HPC Clusters
Thursday, May 8th, 9.30am-11.30am

This seminar provides a practical introduction to applying artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques on Yale’s high-performance computing (HPC) clusters. Designed for beginners who are familiar with HPC or have taken/watched Intro-to-HPC, this session walks participants through setting up and running machine learning, neural networks, and large language models (LLMs) on the YCRC clusters.

This in person only session will be hosted at 17 Hillhouse Avenue, Room 101 (TEAL)

International Festival of Arts & Ideas - Art Walk

Join visual artist Serena Scapagnini and scientist Florian Carle for a walking tour of New Haven to discover Serena’s original artworks created during her residency at the Yale Quantum Institute. The stops include installations on the New Haven Green, at the Robert B Haas Family Arts Library, and at the Yale Quantum Institute. The artworks are site-specific, composed of copper plates encapsulated painted paper and copper wires, playing on different types of memory: from biological systems and synapses to quantum memory and information stored in qubits.

International Festival of Arts & Ideas - YQI Documentary screening + conversation about art and technology

Join us for an unforgettable experience as we delve into the captivating world of Artist Serena Scapagnini, fascinated by the processes underlying memory. The event will commence with the U.S. Premiere of the documentary “Serena Scapagnini – The Space Beyond” (Lo Spazio Oltre), featuring an extended version that showcases her recent artistic residency at the Yale Quantum Institute. Following this screening, immerse yourself in an engaging discussion about art, memory, and quantum technology with Serena and her collaborators.
