Volunteer Opportunity -- Youth Court
http://www.projectyouthcourt.org/get-involved/
There are many ways to get involved, which range from acting as a juror, bailiff, or clerk to arguing the side of the defendant or prosecutor as a youth attorney. Each role plays a different but key role in the courthouse. All high school volunteers will be trained by a professional attorney and will have access to older mentors who have gone through our program. The Project Youth Court team will email you with more information about volunteer training after you have submitted the form.

This Morning is a Math Morning!
Sun, November 1, Davies Auditorium, 10 Hillhouse Avenue:
Kelly Delp (Cornell): What can you make using cellular automata?
Suppose we have a line of boxes, each with two possible states, black or white. A 1-dimensional cellular automaton is a simple set of rules for determining how the states of these boxes change over time. Slight changes in the rules can lead to vastly different patterns. In this talk we will look at examples of these 1-dimensional (and possibly 2-dimensional) automata and see how mathematical artists use them in beadwork, knitting, and image processing.
(Sorry for the late notice; this looks like a good one!)

Sanofi Auvi-Q Version of "EpiPen" Has Been Recalled
Parents of children who carry EpiPens should check their child's device. Mylan and Adrenaclick brands are OK, but Sanofi must be replaced.

A Multipurpose X-ray Diffractometer? Start Planning Some Projects!
WEST HAVEN, CONN. --- The University of New Haven (UNH) has received a grant of nearly $200,000 from the National Science Foundation to purchase a multipurpose X-ray diffractometer (XRD) system.
The instrument, which will be installed on campus next summer, will be used by faculty and students in several academic programs at UNH, including chemistry and engineering programs in the Tagliatela College of Engineering, forensic sciences in the Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Sciences and physics and environmental science in the College of Arts and Sciences.
It will also be used for programs offered by the Engineering and Science University Magnet School (ESUMS) and in collaborations UNH has with other colleges and community groups, said Daniel May, provost and senior vice president of academic affairs.
“This equipment will be a tremendous asset in training undergraduates and graduate students interested in crystallography and materials science and will provide them with hands-on, practical experiences that will benefit them in their future studies and their careers.”
Having the XRD system on campus will enable faculty at UNH to build partnerships and strengthen existing collaborations with faculty at nearby institutions, such as the Yale British Art Gallery and the New Haven Mineral Club, May said.
