Energy is the common currency for all life, but the strategies used to acquire energy and allocate it among competing tasks can change over different timescales, from ontogeny to evolution. In this talk, I examine the energy budgets of humans and other primates over the life course and through deep time. As we will see, energy budgets expand and contract over evolutionary timescales, but the ecological pressures on metabolic rate are not always clear. Within species, energy budgets are constrained, with increasing demands for physical activity incurring trade-offs on other tasks. I discuss these findings and their implications for understanding the primate ecology, health, life history, and evolution.

Written by William Shakespeare and directed by Kate Clark, the UNM Department of Theatre and Dance is proud to present Twelfth Night. Considered to be one of Shakespeare’s most complex and mature comedies, the play features three interlinked storylines: the love triangle of Viola, Orsino, and Olivia; the revenge comedy against Malvolio by Sir Toby; and the friendship and love story between Antonio and Sebastian, who falls for Olivia.

The last few years, we witnessed several examples of social injustice and social unrest. As human beings and engineers, we must decide how we want to respond to what happened and how we want to move forward. Calls to improve our approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) have coincided with the call to update our overall engineering curriculum. Despite recent legislation issues, several initiatives have been launched to address such concerns, which primarily attempt to address perceived inadequacies in underrepresented students. However, scarce efforts have been developed to address the engineering culture that has limited the full participation of women, people of color in engineering, and members of the queer community. Furthermore, few of us in engineering have the knowledge, skills, or ability to productively engage with issues leading to the marginalization and social unrest. Rarely do we dare to apply our problem-solving or critical thinking approaches to how to educate or improving DEI. As a result, the goal of this talk is to provide engineers with a basic understanding of racialized trauma and how it lives and breathes within the engineering culture and articulate potential responses to the inequity based on race in engineering and realign our actions to improve engineering education. This impactful workshop will provide definitions and practical examples of racialized trauma in engineering and potential mitigation strategies.

This keynote lecture will demystify “artificial intelligence” (AI) and discuss some of the opportunities and risks AI creates. We will ground the discussion with an overview of how local governments are approaching AI in their cities and how this technology has shown up in a variety of ways in the housing space, including across mortgage lending, tenant screening, and the surveillance of public space. We will also brainstorm how we can best center people and our communities in the development, utilization, and implementation of any new technology, including AI. Participants will leave with a general framework for how to prioritize equity, transparency, and accountability in future applications or usage of AI. The Albuquerque Affordable Housing Coalition leadership will provide respondent comments and linkages to regional action.

LoboBItes is a yearly event designed to celebrate and showcase UNM graduate students and their outstanding research and scholarship. The 3-min Presentation Competition provides a venue for students to share their work with the UNM and larger New Mexican communities, bridge borders that too-often divide academia from the larger world, spark conversations, and even forge lasting collaborations.

For over 30 years, Muth has been an internationally recognized artist, pioneering the use of light through holography, a passion that began in his teens. After studying art and physics, Muth moved to New York City, where he began exploring holography in 1980, eventually building studios in Telluride, Colorado, and later Santa Fe, New Mexico. In Santa Fe, he pushed the boundaries of large-scale holography, developing innovative techniques to create groundbreaking works that explore the light-space-time continuum. /p>

In addition to his artist talk, August will also have some of his holograms on display at ARTSLab from Tuesday Nov 12 through Thursday Nov 14, between 9am and 5pm. Visitors are welcome.

In 2000, there were about 40 retractions from the scholarly literature. In 2023, there were more than 10,000. That is a dramatic increase, even accounting for the growing number of papers published per year. In this talk, I will explore the reasons for the increase, why it is good news, and why the real number should be even higher. I will tell the stories of the sleuths who are finding problems in the literature, drawing on more than a decade of experience at Retraction Watch. And I will talk about what's driving bad behavior in the literature.

Event will be held live at 1pm in the Larranaga Auditorium in Centennial Engineering Center. To attend virtually, please register at: https://unm.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_75yRLN02RiOLgEBoFjzinQ
