Meet Elon Musk's Censorship Czar, he's a double-agent. Plus, YouTube reaffirms who owns it and it's not Google or Alphabet. Elon Musk has a new censorship Czar, who has touted the phrase “if it's lawful, but awful” in reference to content they will be deemphasized. Youtube is doing the same, doubling down in their allegiance to a world organization who ultimately control the content on the site. Advertisers who support the mutilation of children, the mockery of Christians, and pornographic or oversexualized content won't be censored, while those, like a US Senator speaking the truth about the PLANdemic, will be.

Two years ago, I was really struggling with sleep while caregiving for my mom, who was in her final weeks of life after several strokes and years of vascular dementia. Falling asleep was one thing. Waking at 3 a.m. and not being able to fall back to sleep was a whole other issue. The thoughts would swirl and build momentum, as I became more conscious, increasingly fretful, and fully awake in the early morning hours. I was a veteran of the Sleep Wars, having raised a child with blood sugar that danced around all night, in the days before insulin pump alarms and continuous glucose monitors. There was a lot of interrupted sleep to test blood sugar and to ensure he would be safe through the night. But the sleeplessness I experienced around Mama's struggles was filled with so much anxiety and sadness. How is your sleep? Do you get the recommended 7-9 hours? I imagine you may not. Johns Hopkins Center for Sleep says 60 million Americans suffer from poor sleep quality. Today's Caregiver says 72 percent of caregivers report problems sleeping. Is that you or someone you love? Today I'm sharing a couple resources I hope you'll find helpful for quality sleep, along with my experience around strategies for falling to sleep more peacefully and returning to sleep if you wake in the night. I also share some biblical perspective on sleep, along with encouragement to seek additional support if all else fails. Quality sleep is so important for all of us. May you rest peacefully each time you lay down to sleep!

Opera is one of the greatest and the most classic art forms. It combines the ingenuity of a great storyline and the elegance of music in one captivating show. As this classic art form continue to become a favorite among enthusiasts, new operas are giving audiences a fresh perspective to shows that feature newly-composed music and storylines that haven't been heard yet. In this episode, Kanma Gupta discusses the process of developing new operas and more! Kamna Gupta is an American Prize-winning conductor experienced in operatic, orchestral, and choral repertoires. In the 2022-23 season, Ms. Gupta will make her Canadian debut with Vancouver Opera conducting Les Pêcheurs de Perles, and will conduct the East Coast premiere of In Our Daughter's Eyes (Du Yun / McQuilken and featuring Nathan Gunn) at Prototype Festival, which received its world premiere under her baton at LA Opera Redcat. In 2022, she made her debut with the International Contemporary Ensemble, and she returned to The Glimmerglass Festival to conduct the world premiere of Jungle Book (Sankaram / O'Rourke). She will also conduct the highly interdisciplinary work The Ritual of Breath is the Right to Resist (Berger / Reily / Francis), premiering at the Hopkins Center for the Arts at Dartmouth. She is also excited to return to Mannes Opera in Fall 2022 to conduct La Calisto, Cavalli's Baroque masterpiece.

This week we talk with Carrie Kleinberger, an artist who has a gallery show currently on display at the Hopkins Center for the Performing Arts. We talk about the inspiration for the exhibit, what led her to a second career as an artist, and how her Judaism is infused in her work, on this week's Who The Folk?! Podcast. https://www.carolynkleinberger.com/https://www.hopkinsartscenter.com/223/Exhibitions

Elementary school music teacher and singer Ellen Christensen, of Minneapolis, is a big fan of the Bakken Trio, and she's looking forward to their final show of the season where they will perform Pavel Haas' String Quartet No. 2 “From the Monkey Mountains'' alongside the puppeteers of Z Puppets Rosenschnoz. To create the show, the Bakken Trio invited listening groups to describe what they saw when they heard the music. Those imaginings informed the storytelling puppetry that will accompany the live performance. Haas was a prolific composer whose musical career was tragically cut short when he was murdered in Auschwitz in 1944. His music was nearly lost following his death but has seen a resurgence in recent decades. Christensen is glad that Minnesota audiences will have a chance to hear and see this 1925 composition presented in an imaginative way. The performance is Sunday at 4 p.m. at the Barry Family Campus of Sabes Jewish Community Center in Minneapolis. Arts enthusiast Doris Rubenstein of Richfield recommends painter Carolyn Kleinberger's solo show at the Hopkins Center for the Arts. True to its title, the large portraits allow viewers to feel “Up Close from a Distance.” The 28 paintings in the show were all created over the last two years as the artist's antidote for social isolation during the pandemic. The portrait exhibition in Hopkins runs through June 18. Marisa Hoogenakker loves to visit open artists' studios in her hometown of Duluth, and that interest led her to the studio of abstract painter David Austin. Austin's enthusiasm as he described his abstract paintings drew her in. Although the abstract and mixed media forms felt new, Hoogenakker was soon spotting tunnels, lakes and other familiar landmarks of the Lake Superior city. Courtesy of Kristen Austin David Austin poses for a photo with some of his art in his studio in Duluth. Austin holds live painting demonstrations, sometimes featuring his young son painting on his own canvas, Saturdays at 10:30 a.m. on Instagram. Hoogenakker recommends visiting Austin's open artist studio on the third Saturday of the month if you're in the area.

Lisa is joined by Dr. Gregory Scott Brown who talks about his book, The Self-Healing Mind: An Essential Five-Step Practice to Overcoming Anxiety, and Depression and Revitalizing Your Life. Gregory Scott Brown, MD, is an integrative psychiatrist, mental health writer, and author of The Self-Healing Mind: An Essential Five-Step Practice to Overcoming Anxiety, and Depression and Revitalizing Your Life (Harper Wave, June 2022). But despite being a doctor who works with patients and commonly gives advice, it is his personal story that introduced him to understand the importance of mental health. In 2019, he wrote for Men's Health magazine, “I'm a psychiatrist, husband, a man of color, and proud wellness advocate. Every day, I see patients and tell them: Talk, speak up. But a decade ago, suffering from depression. I didn't say a word.”He discovered self-care early on, and he attributes a significant part of his recovery to learning how to utilize self-care in a way that was effective. It would be years later until he came to understand that self-care is evidence-based medicine – a realization that ultimately led to the writing of his first book, The Self-Healing Mind. Greg's work in the mental health space extends beyond seeing patients in his clinic or providing expert commentary on mental health topics in the news. For the past several years, Greg has hosted conversations about mental health either on social media or for his Men's Health column about topics including student-athlete mental, coping with the stress of a chaotic news cycle, and cultural barriers to accessing mental healthcare.Greg has interviewed remarkable men and women about mental health topics including Marquette Men's Basketball Coach Shaka Smart, journalist Lisa Ling, news anchor Don Lemon, and professor Matt Johnson from the Hopkins Center for Psychedelic Medicine, and actor and songwriter Common. He's also interviewed grassroots wellness champions including Chris Isom and Alec Brownridge who started a yoga workshop for men with a focus on the social and emotional needs of men of color. Greg's mission is to change the way we talk and think about mental health and that starts with having candid conversations about how mental health affects the way we work, live, and love.BOOK DESCRIPTION - The Self-Healing Mind: An Essential Five-Step Practice to Overcoming Anxiety, and Depression and Revitalizing Your Life. Mental health is the driving force behind every decision we make - how we live, work, and love. Too many of us suffer from depression and anxiety, impeding our choices and quality of life, and the numbers are growing across the globe despite the proliferation of prescription drugs. But there is another, proven, way to achieve mental wellness beyond antidepressants and talk therapy. Practicing psychiatrist Gregory Scott Brown believes that mental health begins with actionable self-care. Approached the right way, self-care is a powerful medicine that can help you improve and sustain your mental health.The Self-Healing Mind is a holistic approach to emotional and psychological healing that focuses on how evidence-based self-care strategies can be used to improve mental health. Dr. Brown challenges the current state of mental health care and the messaging around it, showing us how to move past outdated notions of “broken” brains and chemical imbalances. While he agrees that drugs and therapy in some cases are important for healing, his personal and professional experience has taught him that lifestyle interventions are also key to sustainable mental wellness. Dr. Brown's clinical philosophy supports an integrative approach that utilizes a combination of conventional treatments (medication and psychotherapy) with what he calls the Five Pillars of Self-Care: breathing mindful

Dr. Amesh Adalja a physician specializing in infectious disease and a senior scholar at the John's Hopkins Center for HealthSecurity , discusses the COVID l9 pandemic and the state of the health field's efforts to arrest it. Dr. Adalja weighs in on the Omicron variant, the success of COVID vaccination programs, and other treatment options beyond the vaccine. Finally Adalja opines that a universal Coronavirus vaccine for ALL strains is not just a dream but a realizable reality.

In early September of 2021, the Texas state legislature passed a law, called The Heart Beat Act, that allows private citizens to sue anyone who helps terminate a pregnancy at after 6 weeks. In this episode, medical students Allie Berges and Thomas Le talk with family planning physician Dr. Jennifer Robinson about what exactly this law means, why it is detrimental to the health and well-being of women, and what actions you can take in the fight against this law. Dr. Jennifer Robinson is an OB/GYN trained physician, and the Johns Hopkins Medical Director of the Hopkins Center for Family Planning. Her job involves provides complex contraception and abortion services to women from Maryland and neighboring states. She is also the Selective Director for Family Planning as part of the medical school's Women's Health Clerkship, and is one of the course directors for the Genes to Society Reproductive Sciences block in the School of Medicine.   Content discussed in this podcast does not reflect the views of our institutions.

Tom's next guest today is Dr. Gigi Gronvall. She's an immunologist and a Senior Scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security and an Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Health and Engineering at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Dr. Gronvall discusses the reasons for the rising COVID infection rates and the urgency of the campaign to persuade unvaccinated Americans to get their shots. She also addresses a technical point raised in the clip we play of a heated exchange between Dr. Fauci and Sen. Rand Paul (R, Ky.) at a Senate hearing yesterday. And the Hopkins scholar notes the growing consensus among epidemiologists and infectious disease experts that the origin of the COVID-19 virus that has killed more than 4 million people in the past 20 months was an infected animal at the Wuhan Seafood Market, and not a Chinese medical laboratory. Dr. Gigi Gronvall joins us on our digital line from her home in Baltimore. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For months, the world's leading science journals have been filled with the news of research trials on new drug treatments for disorders such as post-traumatic stress syndrome, clinical depression, and drug and alcohol addiction. What makes these treatments so remarkable is that they employ two powerful psychedelics, or hallucinogenic, compounds that provide patients with significant - and lasting - relief.The startling results have spring-boarded two once-taboo drugs – psilocybin and MDMA (aka "Ecstasy") – into mainstream medicine. Both psychedelics appear to be moving toward eventual FDA approval for clinical therapeutic use. Some states have already made them legal. Today on Midday: the potential, and perils, of psychedelic psychiatry. Two of the nation's leading researchers in this burgeoning field join Tom for the hour: Dr. Rick Doblinis the founder and executive director of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies. MAPS is a Boston-based non-profit research, education and advocacy organization. Dr. Doblin leads more than a hundred neuroscientists, pharmacologists and regulatory specialists on a mission to bring psychedelic psychiatry into the medical mainstream. Dr. Doblin joins us on our digital line (and Zoom) from New York City… Dr. Roland Griffithsis a psycho-pharmacologist and professor of Psychiatry and Neurosciences at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He's also a specialist in mind-altering meditation practices, and the founding director of the two year-old Hopkins Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research. He is the author of a landmark 2006 study showing the beneficial effects of psilocybin. Dr. Griffiths join us on Zoom. Our guests also address listener questions and comments.

Arts advocate Patrick Moore of Montevideo was inspired by Nicole Zempel's nature photography currently on display at the Southwest Minnesota Arts Council's gallery in Marshall. Zempel's up-close photographs of mushrooms, lichen, moss, and slime mold blend science and art in a way that is both familiar and otherworldly. “I just kind of get blown away by these photos,” said Moore. “I can't believe that these are real, that this is something that you will find within 10 miles of my house. She has an exceptional eye.” Courtesy of Nicole Zempel | Southwest Minnesota Arts Council A close-up shot of slime mold spores taken by Nicole Zempel. The exhibit runs through June 25, with a virtual tour available on YouTube. Theater director Addie Gorlin-Han recently attended Fawzia Khan's “Becoming Visible” exhibit at Hopkins Center for the Arts. Khan received a 2020 Minnesota Artist Initiative Grant to interview 12 Minnesota women with a broad range of identities. Photo by Fawzia Khan “Becoming Visible” by Fawzia Khan In several works, women's eyes framed by rectangles are embroidered onto dish towels, “a symbol of traditional gender roles,” according to a statement by the artist. Viewers learn about the women through written and video first-person accounts. “The reason the piece is so moving is the way in which Fawzia has successfully made each of these Minnesota women and each of their stories visible,” said Gorlin-Han. Additional sculptures grapple with questions of gender-assigned roles and immigration as well as the pandemic and the murder of George Floyd.  The exhibit runs through June 19 at the Hopkins Center for the Arts. An accompanying video is on YouTube. Courtesy of Anne Pryor “Protectors” Lovitude Soul painting by Anne Pryor. Minneapolis photographer Wendy Blomseth appreciates the work of visual artist Anne Pryor, on display at the Everett & Charlie Gallery in Minneapolis. Blomseth is fascinated by how Pryor makes her work. A former watercolor artist, Pryor now uses alcohol ink on acetate. After adding the ink, she manipulates the color on the canvas by blowing it through a straw, “and makes the designs and shapes by moving with her breath.” She then adds essential oils, which add texture and scent to the works. “So you get the tactile effect on the painting but then you also get the scent,” Blomseth said. Pryor will be demonstrating her process at Everett & Charlie from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday. Correction (June 11, 2021): The date of Anne Pryor's demonstration was incorrect in an earlier version of this story. The article has been updated.

Ghost guns are firearms that can be made at home from kits or 3D printed parts. They’re unregulated and untraceable, meaning no background check is required to purchase them. Dr. Alex McCourt, a public health lawyer with the Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Prevention and Policy, talks with Stephanie Desmon about why these guns are so dangerous, what we know and don’t know about their use in violent crimes, and Biden’s proposal for ATF regulation.

According to Harvard University, Science in the News, the HeLa Cells, (the cell line of Henrietta Lacks) were used in the ground-breaking discovery of the infectivity and viral spread of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). Dr. Bowie and Dr. P highlight the facts about Henrietta Lacks plight at Johns Hopkins Hospital over 70 years ago and how her HeLa cells continue to be used in ground-breaking scientific discoveries today and beyond. As a professor at the Bloomberg School of Public Health, Dr. Bowie shares her views on John Hopkins then and now! Dr. Bowie is a professor in the Bloomberg School of Public Health’s- Department of Health, Behavior, and Society, Bowie’s research examines approaches that lead to the success and sustainability of community-based interventions and the implications of religion and spirituality for prevention and treatment. Bowie is also core faculty in the Hopkins Center for Health Disparities Solutions.

Courtesy of Hopkins Center for the Arts "Unrolling the landscape" by Toni Gallo, of Minneapolis, part of "the Arts North 26: International Juried Exhibition" at Hopkins Center for the Arts. Photographer and drawing student Anne Field is excited about the Arts North 26: International Juried Exhibition at Hopkins Center for the Arts. The show drew more than 700 entries from around the United States as well as six countries, and 168 are on display in Hopkins, Minn. Courtesy of Hopkins Center for the Arts "Clarion Whisper" by Gary Carlson, of Rush City, Minn. Two-thirds of the gallery pieces — painting, sculpture and other visual art — are by Minnesotans. It’s the first year that the Hopkins Center, southwest of downtown Minneapolis, has administered the show. Due to the pandemic, visitors may view the exhibition in-person or online. Field said the virtual tour of the exhibition was thoughtfully filmed, allowing you to pause in front of any of the pieces to enjoy, just as you would in real life. Since artist Alexis Polen moved to Hugo, Minn., a year and a half ago, she connects with Minnesota artists by following them on Instagram. She recommends the postings of Save the Boards to Memorialize the Movement. The project is led by Kenda Zellner-Smith and Leesa Kelly, who, along with other volunteers, gather and preserve art that responds to the police killing of George Floyd. This art, painted on the plywood that covered windows in the cities during the unrest, expresses grief, rage, hope and healing. The collection consists of more than 600 panels and needs cataloguing and conserving. Polen has been struck by the work to track down and transport art, as well as raise money to fund the project. She admires “the transparency of these women on social media [who are] taking their passion and their cause and building it into an actual movement in real time. There’s something amazing and brave about the ability to not only follow a dream but to put it out there for people to see.” Ellen Mueller, director of the MFA program at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, says you should visit the Franconia Sculpture Park in Shafer, Minn., north of Stillwater. The outdoor venue features “more sculptures than you could see in a day if you wanted to,” says Mueller. “You can run into giant works that are much larger than a human. You can have very site-specific works that you walk through, into, and between.” Some sculptures clearly represent something in the real world, others are abstract. Mueller highly recommends a visit to the free community ice rink. Next to it, there’s a new installation by New York artist Jason Peters. By day, it looks like a series of white buckets, but by night it lights up and changes colors. The rink remains open daily through February, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., weather permitting. Correction (Jan. 21, 2021): An earlier version of this post misspelled Alexis Polen's name. The story has been updated.

The toll of the coronavirus on the African American community is devastating: higher rates of hospitalization and higher rates of death. Dr. Lisa Cooper, director of the Hopkins Center for Health Equity and the Hopkins Urban Health Institute, says it is no surprise. Cooper explains how comprehensive demographic data about testing, hospital use, and death can be used to tailor outreach. She shares her concerns about the stigma that falls on the very people at higher risk.

Propelled by stories of patients who can’t afford their medicines, and sometimes skip what the doctor ordered, advocates in the General Assembly are pushing to create a Prescription Drug Affordability Board with the power to set a cap on how much Maryland and its counties would pay for some costly drugs.Opponents contend that would amount to price controls, not within the power of the state--and could lead to shortages of crucial drugs.We hear from Harford County Executive Barry Glassman, the only Republican among the eight county executives lobbying for the board, and Gerard Anderson, who directs the Hopkins Center for Hospital Finance and Management.

Ep. 47: Live recorded at Johns Hopkins “ChooseFood” Symposium – we welcome Maisie Ganzler, Chief Strategy & Brand Officer at Bon Appétit Management Company For episode 47 we speak with Maisie Ganzler of Bon Appétit Management Company live recorded at the Johns Hopkins 'ChooseFood' symposium in Baltimore Maryland.  Ganzler is Chief Strategy & Brand Officer at Bon Appétit Management Company, an on-site restaurant company offering full food-service management to corporations, universities, museums, and specialty venues. Based in Palo Alto, CA, the company operates more than 1,000 cafés in 34 states for dozens of marquee clients. Maisie has been instrumental in shaping the company’s strategic direction.  We focus our discussion on the diverse sustainable initiatives and purchasing policies Ganzler has implemented in her 25 year career at Bon Appétit management company. The "ChooseFood" gathering was a collective effort of the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and the Hopkins Center for a Livable Future.  The goal of the event was to evaluate the broad reaching ethics of food, and its production.  Issues like Labor, environmental impact, externalities, animal welfare, health risk factors & new tech were all part of the ethical questions for food.  Maisie was asked to share with the group some of the impact her work has had, and how the commitments at Bon Appétit have influenced some vast changes in the foodservice industry. During our 40 minute discussion we dig deep into a few of the initiatives Ganzler described in her presentation, including her 1999 initiative "Farm to Fork" that buys meat, vegetables, and other products within a 150-mile radius of a client.  In fact, (at a national level) at least 20% of Bon Appétit purchases meet this criteria.  You'll hear how of their pioneering initiatives to reduce food waste, work with small farmers, improve animal living conditions and ability to influence industrial scale agriculture to become more conscious & conscientious have evolved a minimum market entrance for their competitors.  For this innovative company not afraid to draw a line in the sand - a dedication to ethics is paying off with positive business results.   As you'll hear in my conversation with Maisie, it's all working for Bon Appétit because... it's all authentic. To hear of lessons learned and milestones gained by an industry leader at Bon Appétit is invaluable for us all. As we're all consumers of it, we all have equal stake in food.  For me, it's inspiration and hope for what tomorrow can bring if/when we embrace 'business ethics' as a core competency in how we decide to vote for what we believe in - with our dollars - with our forks.   TUNE-IN.   ChooseFood offered an opportunity to learn from leaders with a vested interest in food and how we produce it.  Hearing from these diverse stakeholders fighting a similar battle reminded me how much our food is so deeply intwined into family, beliefs, culture and society - no matter where you come from on the planet.  I left the symposium wondering if food ethics could be that common development language which would transcend many of the current differences we find in each other?   We're so much more alike than different - could food ethics be a reminder if not the primary ingredient for this panacea? Not sure, but a goal to find some insight and codify better practices that harmonize us and our surroundings on a shrinking planet just seems like a good idea!   www.SourcingMatters.show

Connections Radio – August 5th, 2017

This weeks episode is about the Hopkins Center for Arts.

It's a fact - African Americans live sicker and die younger than any other ethnic group in the nation. There is a huge disparity in healthcare between Blacks and Whites, and on the next Another View we will examine why this disparity exists and what can be done to prevent it. We will also share clips from a new documentary called "The Skin You're In", featuring Another View's Round Table pundit Wil LaVeist as a principal filmmaker, along with filmmaker Thomas LaVeist, Ph.D., the William C.and Nancy F. Richardson professor in Health Policy and Director of the Hopkins Center for Health Disparities Solutions at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Michael Taylor, Director, Hood Museum of Art This talk will address the important history and continued vitality of the Artist-in-Residence Program at Dartmouth College. In addition to discussing the works on display in the related exhibition at the Hood, the Hopkins Center, and the Black Family Visual Arts Center, this lecture will also explore the works of public art that visiting artists have made to embellish the campus, beginning with the completion of José Clemente Orozco's mural The Epic of American Civilization in 1934. A reception will follow in Kim Gallery. February 19, 2014 5:00 p.m. Hood Museum of Art Auditorium

Dartmouth announced a slate of special artistic programs and initiatives during the 2012-13 academic year that spotlighted the school's vibrant arts culture and reaffirms its role as one of the nation's leading academic arts communities. This celebration of the arts begun in September 2012 with the inauguration of Dartmouth's new Arts District, comprising the recently completed Black Family Visual Arts Center, as well as the Hood Museum of Art, and the Hopkins Center for the Arts ("the Hop"), both of which are planning expansions and renovations in the coming years. 2012-13 included notable arts programming, including special performances for the Hop's 50th Anniversary Season; the premiere of a new work by Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater created with commissioning support from the Hop; campus residencies by artists including the Handspring Puppet Company; a groundbreaking exhibition of Aboriginal art at the Hood Museum; a Best in Show film festival series, which brought organizers and films from the international film festival circuit to Hanover; and many more performances, exhibitions, and arts events. The year was also distinguished by an unprecedented development of arts-related programming by campus organizations and departments not normally affiliated with the arts, underscoring the importance of the arts to our everyday lives. Dartmouth has long been a leading institution championing the integration of the arts into a collegiate setting: from the establishment of one of the nation's first campus-based performing arts centers, to the commissioning of new works and artist-in-residence programs, to the cultivation of a university art collection that ranks among the oldest and largest in the United States. The diverse series of arts programs and initiatives taking place during Dartmouth's 2012-13 year—including programs developed by departments and campus organizations that traditionally operate outside the arts—exemplify this historic commitment to leadership in the arts, while simultaneously establishing Dartmouth as a model for the artistic campus of the 21st century.

Michael Odokara-Okigbo '12 returned to Dartmouth on October 12, 2012 to perform in "Igniting Imagination—A Salute to the Hop's 50 Years!," the star-studded celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Hopkins Center for the Arts. Odokara-Okigbo, who gained fame with the Dartmouth Aires last year when the a cappella group reached the 2011 final of NBC's "The Sing-Off," performed in Spaulding Auditorium as part of a cast of hundreds, including singer and actor Jennifer Leigh Warren '77, actor and comedian Rachel Dratch '88, and the show's host, actor and comedian Aisha Tyler. Chidi Anyadike '13, the Office of Public Affairs' Whitney Campbell intern, sat down with Odokara-Okigbo during his campus visit to talk about the performing arts career he's now pursuing in Los Angeles. Odokara-Okigbo, a history major and a former member of the heavyweight crew team, also talks about his Dartmouth mentors, who include Dartmouth College Gospel Choir Director Walt Cunningham Jr. and Department of Theater Senior Lecturer Carol Dunne, with whom he worked as an acting intern at the New London (N.H.) Barn Playhouse in summer 2011.

Michael Taylor, director of the Hood Museum of Art, talks about Ellsworth Kelly's Dartmouth Panels and why the sculpture is perfect for its "canvas" on the Hopkins Center.

Abstract: Slow-servo diamond turning has revolutionized what is possible in optical fabrication. As a result, optical design provides new horizons where freeform surfaces may offer new degrees of freedom. In this talk I will provide a brief history of the emergence of freeform optics and point to a growing customer base. I will then discuss recent advances in surface shape descriptions for freeform optics from phi-polynomials to multicentric radial basis functions. Finally, I will show how freeform surfaces may provide in one case study a factor of 10 in field area. Insight into the correction of aberrations will be provided and a metrology approach to testing freeform surfaces will be discussed. Dr. Rolland is Brian J. Thompson Professor of Optical & Biomedical Engineering; Associate Director of the R.E. Hopkins Center for Optical Design & Engineering. Professor Rolland's central research interests are in the fields of optical instrumentation and system engineering. Research areas of interest are (1) Optical System Design for Imaging and Non-imaging Optics (2) Physics-based modeling, and (3) Image Quality Assessment. These areas have been applied to Eyewear Displays for Augmented Reality, Optical Coherence Imaging, Biomedical and Medical Modeling and Simulation, Alignment of Optical Systems, and 3D Velocimetry.
