These outreach events invite a broad audience to explore the work of scholars and faculty from all disciplines\, all backgrounds and all ti me periods and to celebrate the impact that work continues to have on our daily lives.\n\nThe “science of the very\, very small” offers possible solutions for everything from the energy crisis to disease. Ideas that on ce existed only in science fiction are becoming reality and Cornell scient ists are leading the way in nanoscale and quantum materials research. In t his Arts Unplugged\, we will explore some of these exciting innovations – and their ramifications for human society.\n\nWatch online at eCornell or join us in Klarman or Clark atriums to watch together and build origam i nanobirds!\n\nPresentations:\n\nWelcome - Dean Ray Jayawardhana\, Harold Tanner Dean of Arts and Sciences\n\nIntroduction - Natalie Wolchover\, Zu brow Distinguished Visiting Journalist Fellow\n\nWalking nanorobots with b rains – Itai Cohen\, professor of physics\n\nManipulating genes with nan otech – Ailong Ke\, professor of molecular biology and genetics\, and Ju lia Markovits\, associate professor of philosophy\n\nDiscovering the parti cles that define us – Liam McAllister\, professor of physics\, and Peter Wittich\, professor of physics and director of the Laboratory of Elementa ry Particle Physics and Julia Thom-Levy\, professor of physics and directo r of the Cornell Laboratory of Accelerator-based Sciences and Education\n\ nIntermission: Demonstration of how to create origami robots\; announcemen t of “Envisioning the Future” contest winners\n\nThe interplay of scie nce and fiction – Roald Hoffmann\, Nobel Laureate in chemistry and Frank H.T. Rhodes Professor Emeritus of Chemistry and Biology\; Liliana Colanzi \, Romance studies and Lyrae Van Clief-Stefanon\, literatures in English\n \nDesigning worlds at the nanoscale – Eun-Ah Kim\, professor of physics\ ; Brad Ramshaw\, The Dick and Dale Reis Johnson Assistant Professor of phy sics\; and John Marohn\, professor of chemistry and chemical biology\n\nAu dience Q&A\n\nRegister now: https://ecornell.cornell.edu/keynotes/overview /K030922/\n\nWe'll also have two special activities to go along with this live event!\n\nOn-line activity: Envisioning the Future\n\nSend us your wr itten description (200-word limit) or a visual representation of how you t hink nanoscience will change our world. What advances will genetics bring us? How could microscopic robots change agriculture\, disaster relief\, me dicine? Could tiny technology change the way we communicate\, travel\, liv e? The winning scenarios will be posted online and shared during the March 9 event\; winners in the elementary\, middle/high school and adult catego ries will also receive a gift certificate to a local business. Enter here! \n\nIntermission activity: Making origami robots\n\nThe template for a she et of origami that can be printed at home will be distributed before the e vent\, and the link to the template will be shared during intermission. We will have a demonstration to go along with the template to show how to ma ke an origami robot.
