This yoga practice provides the opportunity to relax and de-stress as well as to stretch, strengthen, and balance your body. The practice begins with a meditative centering followed by warm-ups, a posture flow, and a restful final relaxation. We conclude with a closing and some time for connecting with your fellow yogis.The yoga postures are led at a moderate intensity. Lower intensity modifications are always offered and there is absolutely no obligation to do any posture. The goal is to make the class accessible to beginners as well as experienced practitioners. Listening to your body is the key to safety, especially in this online format.Registration is required on our wellness class website. If you do not already have an account on this website, you'll need to create one. This is fee-based class and open to the entire MIT community.

Join us for a conversation with Harvard University Professor Cass Sunstein and Knight Science Journalism Fellow Emily Foxhall on the social cost of carbon.If you're injuring someone, you should stop -- and pay for the damages you've caused. Why does this simple proposition, generally accepted, not apply to climate change? In Climate Justice, a bracing challenge to status quo thinking on the ethics of climate change, renowned author and legal scholar Cass Sunstein clearly frames what's at stake and lays out the moral imperative: When it comes to climate change, everyone must be counted equally, regardless of when or where they live -- which means that wealthy nations, which have disproportionately benefited from greenhouse gas emissions, are obligated to help future generations and people in poor nations that are particularly vulnerable.Copies of Climate Justice will be available for purchase onsite from the MIT Press Bookstore.

"Do you ever feel that life holds a deeper meaning beyond what you currently understand? The truth is profound—there are countless mysteries of existence, divinity, and the self that lie beyond our awareness. There is so much we don’t know, and even more that we don’t realize we don’t know."Join us on this exciting journey of Discover Your Self to explore the unknown territories of life and delve into the science of spirituality. This course, based on the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, will equip you with proven methods to achieve true inner joy and answer your deepest questions about life's higher principles.

Speaker: Daniel Soskin (IAS)Title: Multiplicative inequalities for totally matricesAbstract: Totally positive matrices are matrices in which each minor is positive. Lusztig extended the notion to reductive Lie groups. He also proved that specialization of elements of the dual canonical basis in representation theory of quantum groups at q=1 are totally non-negative polynomials. Thus, it is important to investigate classes of functions on matrices that are positive on totally positive matrices. I will discuss multiplicative determinantal inequalities as a source of such functions. In the joint work with M. Gekhtman, we have shown that the set of multiplicative inequalities is finitely generated for matrices of any order. In the joint project with M. Gekhtman and Z. Greenberg we provide a list of all generators of multiplicative determinantal inequalities for the case of square matrices of order 4. We also extend the problem of description of multiplicative inequalities in minors to inequalities in all cluster variables of finite type cluster algebras. We show that the generators of these sets of inequalities are in bijection with cluster variables, and are associated to sinks in fully sources/sinks orientation of the associated Dynkin diagram in the exchange graph of the finite type cluster algebras.
