Tender: Sarah Gilbert and Pato Hebert ( @ Cooley Art Gallery)
The Cooley Gallery, Reed College, and Ditch Projects (Springfield) present the exhibition Tender, part of the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art’s 2024 Time-Based Art Festival. Tender is the nature of this dyadic exhibition comprised of newly commissioned installations and stochastic works by longtime educators and colleagues Sarah Gilbert and Pato Hebert. For the artists, Tender is a healing endeavor. Both Gilbert and Hebert are in the process of negotiating their recovery from debilitating illness, injury, and the tragic loss of loved ones. Reading, listening, and touch are as essential to the exhibition as visual observation. Tender provides an opportunity for the artists to recount and transform their experiences—some caused or exacerbated by the pandemic—offering them with a desire for shared healing. Hannah Arendt described her experience of philosophical thought as “. . . a palpating tenderness toward the things of the world.” The wild beauty of the installation springs from the artists’ emotional attunement, and their embrace of the natural world within their work. Gilbert and Hebert ritualize and play with the vulnerability that has reshaped their lives.

Out of Sight! Book Talk with Barbara Rahder ’72 (6pm @ Prexy)
In her memoir, Barbara Rahder ’72 weaves together her experience as a young woman during a transformative time with unflinching observations on gender, race, and power. Sad, funny, painful, and always very real, Barbara’s story brings a new, critical perspective to the hippie era. And throughout it all ripples an undercurrent of disturbing family tensions. Things that are hidden “out of sight” are not easily confronted, but secrets have a way of surfacing. "Reed changed my life. I'd dropped out of college after one year at San Francisco State (it was the year of the famous strike) and floundered from one hippie scene to another. After two years, I decided to reengage my brain. As I say in the book, 'In contrast to the sluggishness of hippie life, Reed was a curious, quick-witted, and smart-mouthed collection of godless skeptics who studied hard and partied hard.' I'd finally found the place where I fit in." — Barbara

Physics Seminar: Ella Banyas (4:30pm to 5:30pm @ None)
A Look Inside The World of Antiferroelectrics Ferroelectrics, or materials with a switchable electric polarization, are notable for their interesting physics as much as their wide variety of technological applications: although electric dipole moments may seem straightforward to define, ferroelectrics research revealed that the polarization of a crystal actually has a deep quantum-mechanical nature. The design of new ferroelectrics and control of their polarization-related phenomena continues to draw tremendous interest today. In this talk I will survey antiferroelectrics, a closely-related class of materials which are less-studied, but no less promising or intriguing. After an introduction to their history and basic properties, I will discuss recent experiments and calculations showing that antiferroelectrics’ electromechanical response can rival that of conventional ferroelectrics, as well as situations in which antiferroelectrics’ unusual behavior hints at unexplored underlying physics.
Peer Career Drop-in Advising (6pm to 8pm @ Trillium Multipurpose Room)

Biology Seminar: Dr. Stephanie Porter (12pm to 12:50pm @ Biology, Biology 19)
"The Evolutionary Genomics of Adaptation to Stress in Wild Rhizobium Bacteria" Microbiota comprise the bulk of life’s diversity, yet we know little about how populations of microbes adapt to stresses across natural landscapes. We use comparative genomics and genetics to elucidate the evolutionary mechanisms of adaptation to physiologically stressful serpentine soils in rhizobial bacteria in western North American grasslands. In vitro experiments demonstrate that the gain of a locus of major effect, the nre operon, is necessary and sufficient to confer adaptation to nickel, a heavy metal enriched to toxic levels in serpentine soil. However, different nre alleles confer distinct levels of nickel resistance, suggesting allelic substitution could also play a role in rhizobium adaptation to serpentine soil. Thus, the interplay between evolution via gene gain and loss and evolution via allelic substitution are both important to adaptive diversity in microbes and for improving stress-adapted microbial inocula for human use. Dr. Stephanie Porter's research seeks to explain how cooperation is maintained in the symbiosis between plants and rhizobium bacteria, which is responsible for half of all current biologically fixed terrestrial nitrogen 11:50 am- Snacks & Socializing noon- Talk Begins

News cameras covered the story from both outside and inside the prison. Five days later, state police massacred 29 inmates and 10 hostages. Through original interviews with former inmates, family members of the hostages, and first-hand witnesses, Attica remembers the largest and most tragic prison rebellion in U.S. history, a still unanswered wake-up call about the need for prison reform.
