There is a deep connection between Physics and Computation. Indeed, any computation can be represented as a physical process. In 1981, Richard Feynman rasied some provocative question in connection to the simulation of physical phenomena using a special device called a "Quantum Computer". Such a device was intended to mimic physical processes exactly the same as Nature, and thus shared those "spooky" features of quantum physics. Remars coming from such an influential figure generated widespread interest in these ideas, and today, more than three decades after, there are still open questions. What kind of physical phenomena can be mimicked? How? And what are its limitations? I will address these questions in the broader context of what is currently known as quantum information science.

Refreshments will be served in CP179 at 3:15 PM

This event brings faculty and staff into the residence halls and allows students to ask any questions they may have!! This year we have academic advisors, campus activities staff, and faculty participating on our panel.   

THIS WILL COUNT AS A WIRED EVENT!

Our volunteers for the night are:

It is important to get involved on campus!  Your peer mentors have planned this event for you so you can learn more about several campus organizations:  Student Activities Board, Underground Perspective (founded by Nigel Taylor, one of our Wired peer mentors), Center for Community Outreach, and PAWS (Service Dogs). 

We look forward to seeing you there! 

You are cordially invited to attend the University of Kentucky College of Arts & Sciences

This lecture is titled: Genetic Pathways to Understanding Human Sleep Disorders

Dr. Michael W. Young is the 2015 Thomas Hunt Morgan Lecturer. Dr. Young is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology. He is a recipient of the 2013 Shaw Prize in Life Science and Medicine, the 2013 Wiley Prize in Biomedical Science, the 2012 Canada Gairdner International Award, the 2012 Massry Prize, the 2011 Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize for Biology or Biochemistry and the 2009 Neuroscience Prize of the Peter and Patricia Gruber Foundation.

 Dr. Friedman’s lecture will show how social network analysis has been used to understand how HIV and other infections spread through communities and how public health interventions might better be organized. Dr.Friedman will also discuss how social network interventions can assist in “treatment as prevention” through helping to locate recently infected people to get them into care but also to prevent them from transmitting HIV to others during the highly-risky first year of infection. Dr. Friedman will also discuss whether this aggressive social network intervention leads to harm for people who take part. Finally, he will discuss how these thoughts relate to other infections and conditions.

Champions Court I and II are collaborating on this event! 

The Wall of Oppression will be located outside the CC2 courtyard on October 1^st from 11am-7pm. Students will be able to write their oppressions or oppressions they have heard about on the wall from 11am-4pm. At 4pm, the Resident Directors from CC1 and CC2 will hold a 30 minute educational chat about the wall and give out safety instructions. At 4:30pm, students can begin lining up at the wall to tear it down.  Students will be able to hit it 3 times and then get back in line if they’d like. Once students have participated, they will be able to pick up some food and fill out the feedback form.

In order to receive Wired credit, please fill out the feedback form and sign the Wired sign in sheet after you have participated in the educational chat and tearing down of the wall!!

Please come to our first "Re-Wire" event of the semester!  This is a chance to chat informally with the three Wired Faculty Directors, peer mentors, and other Wired students!  

Attendance at two "Re-Wire" events will count as one Wired event. 

Pizza will be served at this kick-off "Re-Wire" event!!  (Please bring your own drink!)
