Nuclear Threats are on the rise, as regional state actors proliferate, non-state actors continue to threaten the use of these weapons and great powers modernize with rapidly advancing technologies and destabilizing nuclear policies that could potentially undermine
strategic stability. These challenges are among those contributing to the break-down and potential collapse of the global order that sought to control the growth and spread of these weapons. How dangerous are these threats? Is the global arms control and non-proliferation
regimes about to collapse? What is the role of the United States in determining that future? These are among the central questions that will be addressed in this seminar.</p>

Innovation is moving fast in biotech, and look no further than some of Boston’s latest emerging companies for proof. Beam Therapeutics, for instance, is taking CRISPR gene editing to the next level. Celsius Therapeutics is using machine learning algorithms
to drill down into the genomic blueprint of single cells in search of a better understanding of why various diseases begin. And Arrakis Therapeutics is one of several new companies trying to target disease-causing RNA molecules with chemical drugs. How do
disruptive visions like these come together and take shape within a company? How do their founders and investors turn these ideas into a business? And most importantly, how will their work impact the lives and health of patients?</p>

If you would like to feel more comfortable conversing in English, this is a group for you! Led by MS&PC member Sun Yeo. She has lived in the U.S. for over ten years, and she is currently tutoring beginners in English at English at Large and co-facilitating
an English conversation group there as well. Sun knows the difficulties of expressing one self's in English after you first arrive, and she is creating this group to help you feel more comfortable talking and sharing ideas in English. All levels of fluency
in English are welcome. The group will read articles and essays about U.S. culture, customs and current events and discuss them together. Children are welcome, although if your child is having a particularly sad or noisy day that might disrupt the group, please
consider attending without your child, if possible. Please let Sun know you plan to attend at <a href="mailto:vanillasunny83@gmail.com" style="color:rgb(0,172,189)" target="_blank">vanillasunny83@gmail.com</a>.</p>

The MIT Cooking Group is open for all the MIT community. For those who love and have a passion for food and cooking. Our members have a varied level of cooking skills, but we all share a common interest in learning about new dishes, making friends, and exploring
new cultures and techniques. We come together to share our culinary experiences and passion. This group is led by Katerina Vinichenko. Every Friday two members volunteer to prepare the main course and a dessert, while the rest help with the preparation of
the dishes and with the cleaning afterwards, or by playing with the kids (we are a kids frendly group).</p>

We meet at the Penthouse of Eastgate from 11am - 2pm. For each meeting you need to send an email to the coordinator so they can know how many people are coming to the meeting and the cookers can buy the ingredients accordingly. At the end we all share the recipes,
pictures and the cost of the ingredients for the food. If no volunteers sign up for a particular date, we will cancel the meeting. We welcome any member of the MIT community that has an interest in food and that would like to have a good time. You can find
us by email at: katerina.vinichenko@gmail.com or on Facebook: MIT Cooking Group.</p>

<font color="#2E2E2E">Science training rarely includes the skills needed to effectively manage an academic lab or nonacademic work group. Talented managers get more done in any work place, and not all science trainees have a good role model for this skill.
Just like doing research—effective management is something you can learn and at which you can excel. This talk is designed to give you an introduction to the skills you can develop to be a good manager. Useful resources and tools provided for future training.
