This presentation contextualize s the too-frequent systemic friction between marginalized higher education professionals/students within the present political landscape surrounding them. Rather than treating "burnout" as an individual failure\, this fram ework positions it instead as an institutional outcome ("burning through") . Within these contesting spaces\, we'll examine how "queer joy" becomes a disruptive and radical practice of survival. Format will include conversa tional prompts for participants to engage with these ideas-- and with each other--throughout the presentation. Lunch provided.

\nBiological nitrogen fixation is an assimilat ory process in which certain bacteria and archaea (diazotrophs) reduce din itrogen gas to biologically available ammonia. The process is important in marine environments where nitrogen limitation prevails. Classically\, nit rogen fixation in marine environments has been attributed to cyanobacteria \, but recent research shows a great diversity and prevalence of non-cyano bacterial diazotrophs (NCDs). The environmental controls and limitations o f marine diazotrophs remain elusive.
\nIn this talk I will discuss o ur recent studies on diversity and environmental limitations of cyanobacte rial and non-cyanobacterial diazotrophs in coastal New England. I will fir st discuss characterization and phosphorus limitation in a benthic\, bloom -forming cyanobacterial diazotroph Hydrocoleum sp. on Nantucket Island. I will then discuss diazotroph distributions in Buzzards Bay over a decadal scale\, demonstrating seasonal filtering of communities\, largely driven b y the prevalence and seasonal variability in the cyanobacterial UCYN-A. Fi nally\, I'll discuss potential metabolic strategies of NCDs based on metag enome assembled genomes we've enriched from Buzzards Bay.

I will do this by discussing previous work identifying which corporations have been fishing the high seas, recent research on the regional fisheries management organizations regulating industry, and the future paths the new UN High Seas Biodiversity Treaty (UN BBNJ) has the op portunity to create. The BBNJ treaty is officially an international legall y binding text, with the first Conference of the Parties in January 2027. I will argue how the contrasting future possibilities for the conservation of high seas biodiversity under this treaty may be stunted or realized.

"The governance of high seas fisheri
es management & clashing ocean conservation futures"
Dr. Gabby Carmine<
br>Postdoctoral Fellow\, Georgetown University
Wednesday\, October

3:00 - 4:00 pm
SMAST E 101-103 and via Zoom
Abstr act:
\nIn this talk\, I will disentangle the modern understanding of the 'right to fish' on the high seas\, or the ~2/3 of the ocean surface\, as set out by the United Nations. I will do this by discussing previous w ork identifying which corporations have been fishing the high seas\, recen t research on the regional fisheries management organizations regulating i ndustry\, and the future paths the new UN High Seas Biodiversity Treaty (U N BBNJ) has the opportunity to create. The BBNJ treaty is officially an in ternational legally binding text\, with the first Conference of the Partie s in January 2027. I will argue how the contrasting future possibilities f or the conservation of high seas biodiversity under this treaty may be stu nted or realized.

November 1940
\nDays afte r the Nazis sealed 450\,000 Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto\, a secret band of j ournalists\, scholars and community leaders decided to fight back. This cl andestine group\, known by the code name Oyneg Shabes\, vowed to defeat Na zi lies and propaganda not with guns or fists\, but rather with pen and pa per.
\nThey commissioned diaries\, essays\, jokes\, poems\, and song
s.
They documented Nazi atrocities with eyewitness accounts.
They se
nt reports of mass murder to London via the Polish underground.
Th en\, as trains deported them to the gas chambers of Treblinka\, and the Gh etto burned to the ground\, they buried 60\,000 pages of documentation in milk cans and tin boxes in hope that the archive would survive the war\, e ven if they did not.
\nThe film honors the Oyneg Shabes members' det ermination to create what became the most important cache of eyewitness ac counts to survive WW II. It captures both humor and despair\, their despar ation and anger\, and their iron resolve to retain their humanity in the f ace of unspeakable hardship. Ultimately\, it has preserved the actions\, e vents and experiences of those who stand up\, fight back and\, as one Oyne g Shabes member wrote\, "scream truth to the world."
\nOpen to the U MassD campus community.

Abstract:
\nGravi tational-wave detectors\, such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-W ave Observatory (LIGO)\, are highly sensitive instruments designed to dete ct weak astrophysical signals\, requiring sophisticated data analysis tech niques to distinguish them from noise. This proposal aims to develop machi ne learning and data-driven methods to address challenges in gravitational -wave astronomy\, with applications to signal detection\, detector charact erization\, and low-latency analyses.
\nWe first address the detecti on of precessing binary black hole (BBH) systems. Because a fully precessi ng search is computationally prohibitive\, current searches filter with al igned-spin template banks and are not optimally sensitive to precessing BB Hs. We have performed aligned-spin searches using the SGNL pipeline on dat a containing simulated aligned-spin and precessing BBH signals\, producing matched-filter triggers for both classes. We propose to train a feed-forw ard neural network on the recovered trigger parameters\, such as the signa l-to-noise ratio\, consistency between the data and the best-fitting templ ate\, and recovered masses and spins\, to identify triggers likely to aris e from precessing signals. This classifier will serve as a preprocessing s tep to rapidly identify the small subset of triggers that require further follow-up. For this subset\, we propose an optimization method that combin es the signal-to-noise ratio with the autocorrelation-based least-squares signal consistency test to improve the ranking of precessing candidates.\n
We next address the characterization of transient bursts of detecto r noise\, or “glitches.” The LIGO detectors record data from more than 200\,000 auxiliary channels that monitor the instrument and its environme nt. We have developed a GPU-accelerated framework to transform time-series data from these auxiliary channels into the fractal dimension\, a compact representation of signal complexity. These representations will be used t o train an unsupervised autoencoder to learn nominal detector behavior and flag anomalous activity. We will use the detected anomalies to identify a uxiliary channels that witness distinct glitch populations\, pointing to t heir environmental or instrumental origin.
\nFinally\, we address th e need for low-latency gravitational-wave alerts for multimessenger astron omy. Public alerts are currently issued approximately 30 seconds after a c andidate is identified using GWCelery\, a Python framework built on the Ce lery distributed task queue\, in which each stage records its result in th e GraceDB event database before the next proceeds. As part of the LIGO Sci entific Collaboration\, we are developing SGN-LLAI\, a streaming infrastru cture built on the Stream Graph Navigator (SGN) library\, in which results pass directly between stages via Kafka topics and are asynchronously reco rded in GraceDB\, removing database operations from the critical path. SGN -LLAI currently produces preliminary alerts in the standard public format\ , with latencies as low as 5 seconds in initial tests. The proposed next p hase will complete feature parity with GWCelery by adding source classific ation and properties\, data quality information\, and the full progression of public alerts from preliminary to initial and update notices\, includi ng human vetting and retraction. Alerts will then be disseminated through the GCN and SCiMMA networks.
