Speaker: Jörn Dunkel (MIT)Title: Model inference for active matterAbstract:Recent advances in live-imaging techniques provide dynamical data ranging from the cellular to the organism scale. Notwithstanding such experimental progress, quantitative mathematical models often remain lacking, even for moderately complex classes of biological systems. Here, I will survey our ongoing efforts to implement computational frameworks for inferring predictive dynamical equations from multi-scale imaging data. Example applications range from cell locomotion and neuromechanical control to collective swarming behaviors in animal groups.--*Tea will be at 4:00 pm in the 553 Lake Hall

Iyengar yoga is Hatha yoga as taught by BKS Iyengar and develops strength, coordination, and flexibility of the body and mind. Participants learn how to use their embodiment as an anchor - a way to find peace and inner strength during busy and difficult times.Every class is different with a unique sequence based on the theme of the class and the needs of the students. Using physical alignment as a starting point, Iyengar yoga encourages the spread of intelligence throughout the body, the growth of self awareness and asana as a form of meditation.As a Certified Iyengar Teacher (CIYT) who has studied with renown teachers Patricia Walden and Jarvis Chen for over 16 years, Ashley uses individual pose modifications, props, and hands-on adjustments to support participants of all body types, ages and abilities.Iyengar yoga is truly for everyone - stiff bodies welcome!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.
