There's plenty of seats available, so plan to come -- and bring a friend! Exploring our World Inside and Out The 2001 UW Science Forum Lectures on Science and Technology For information on this and other Science Forum lectures or to register visit: http://www.washington.edu/alumni/events/sf01.html Lectures All lectures are at 7 - 8:15 p.m., Kane Hall 130, UW Seattle Campus. Lectures are free, but registration is required. Wednesday, March 7, 2001 Movement in Biology: Insect Flight and Reverse Engineering the Successful "Robots" Thomas Daniel, Komen Professor, Department of Zoology Animal movement emerges from a complex and dynamic interaction between neural control circuits, muscle force generation and a remarkable array of actuators ranging from wings to fins to legs. Studies of animal movement give us insight into complexity of biological systems and, at the same time, provide inspiration for the design of a new generation of robots. Professor Daniel will tour the world of animal movement and highlight student research projects that shed new light on how creatures control and produce an extraordinary array of motions. Wednesday, April 4, 2001 Testing Gravity in the Cosmos and in the Laboratory: Is a Revolution Under Way? Christopher Stubbs, Professor of Astronomy and Physics How well do we really understand gravity, the most familiar of Nature's forces? Perhaps not as well as we'd thought! Speculation about higher dimensions and surprising recent cosmological observations have spawned a new attempt to understand gravity on the largest and smallest scales. This talk will describe why this has led to a strong sense that we are on the brink of a fundamental breakthrough in physics. Wednesday, May 2, 2001 Computer Science: Still Crazy After All These Years Edward Lazowska, Bill & Melinda Gates Endowed Chair, Computer Science and Engineering Computer science is transforming all aspects of our lives, and driving our nation's economy. In the face of this, it's startling to recognize that the real computing and communications revolution still lies ahead. "You ain't seen nothing yet." This talk will describe recent progress and future opportunities in the field. It will also spend a bit of time on the special role of research universities in a field where there is so much money to be made. Computer science continues to be a field full of intellectual action, a field with unmatched roles, responsibilities and opportunities. Plus, it's fun.
