Neutrinos are sub-atomic particles which are very difficult to observe. They have been assumed to have no mass. It was predicted that, if they have masses, they could change their type while they fly. This phenomena is called neutrino oscillations. Neutrino oscillations was discovered by deep underground neutrino experiments. I will discuss the discovery of neutrino oscillations. The implications of the discovery of the neutrino oscillations and the small neutrino masses will also be discussed. For more information please contact Kim Crosslan at .

When faced with challenges in daily life, we respond with physical, emotional or intellectual actions. Although these responses may be appropriate to deal with situations on a practical level, they are rarely able to address the root cause of the problems we encounter. J. Krishnamurti and the non-duality teachings in different spiritual traditions propose that there is a higher faculty in us—choiceless awareness—which can bring about a fundamental change in ourselves and society.

Vidhu Aggarwal will discuss narrative entropy by looking at both ancient texts, such as the epic Mahabharata, in relationship to contemporary cosmology/technology to get at the condition of perpetual war and perpetual crisis. In doing so she will discuss the concept "avatar" as both the Sanskrit word for incarnation of God in a time of crisis, but also in terms of our contemporary digital embodiment in social media and video gaming worlds; and in relationship to her own diasporic poetics through the chapbook "Avatara" and larger project "Migrant Domains.
