UConn Sexpert Peer Support Drop-In Hours are a new, free service offered by peer health educators, the UConn Sexperts, on the UConn Storrs campus!

Peer Support Drop-In Hours are a great option for students who have questions about sex and sexual health, are looking for a non-judgmental, laid-back environment to discuss a sex related concern or issue, or are interested in improving their sexual health and personal well-being. Our UConn Sexperts are trained to provide education, support, and connection to resources on and off-campus on a wide variety of topics pertaining to sex, sexual health, and relationships.

UConn Sexperts (and supervising staff) are exempt employees under UConn’s Title IX Reporting Obligations. Peer support sessions are for educational and support purposes only. Peer support visits are not on-call or emergency services, and are not for individualized medical advice, nor are they counseling or therapy.

With the international landscape becoming increasingly marked by international conflict, tense interstate rivalries, looming diplomatic crises, and a renewed need for bilateral and multilateral cooperation on issues ranging from maritime security to nuclear responsibility, the importance of research on trust and related concepts such as distrust is hard to ignore. Yet among scholars and practitioners of diplomacy, there is significant disagreement on the value of such concepts. This roundtable brings together early-career and Ph.D. researchers to discuss the value of interdisciplinary research on trust and related concepts to diplomatic studies from within academia and from the policy and think tanks sector.

MODERATOR: Asaf Siniver, PANELISTS:Hendrik Simon, Daniel Mitchum, Chiara Cervasio, David J. Wilcox, and Scott Edwards.

Israel and The Holocaust, a new book authored by Avinoam J. Patt, was published February 22, 2024 by Bloomsbury Publishing.

Avinoam Patt examines the relationship between two of the most significant events in modern Jewish history, the Holocaust and the creation of the state of Israel. While there may be no direct causal connection between the Holocaust and the founding of the Jewish state in 1948, the memory of the Holocaust has been a constant presence in Israeli politics, culture, and society since even before 1948.

“Photo-induced ultrafast dynamics and non-linear processes in molecules” - Physics PhD oral defense

Graduate student Debadarshini Mishra, Department of Physics, University of Connecticut

Photo-Induced Ultrafast Dynamics in Molecules

Imaging electronic and molecular dynamics at ultrafast timescales is crucial for understanding the mechanisms of chemical reactions, which are of fundamental importance in fields ranging from materials science to biochemistry. Furthermore, gaining insights into these processes at the atomic and molecular levels can enable precise control over reaction dynamics, leading to significant technological advancements through the development of efficient catalysts, innovative materials, and targeted drugs. In this dissertation talk, I will present my work on imaging time-resolved dynamics in molecular systems, using various light sources and ultrafast spectroscopy techniques. First, I will discuss a method for the direct visualization of neutral fragments in roaming reactions, which involve an unconventional dissociation process, using coincident Coulomb explosion imaging. Next, I will explore ultrafast electron diffraction as a different yet complementary imaging technique to identify the competing non-radiative relaxation pathways for a UV-excited molecule. Finally, I will briefly discuss our recent work on relaxation and fragmentation dynamics in large molecules, particularly C60, and isomerization and excited-state dynamics in small molecules.

Unraveling Marine Mysteries and Global Mercury Pollution using Mercury Stable Isotopes 

We are confronting climate change without sufficient chemical knowledge of the profound changes that impact global cycles. The measurement of stable isotope variations in natural samples has been the hallmark tool for elucidating global environmental processes. Analytical advancements have led to the discovery of new isotope effects arising from environmental reactions that cannot be explained by our current understanding of chemistry, particularly heavy element isotope fractionation and photochemical effects. The central theme of our research is the development and application of non-traditional isotopes to enhance our understanding of marine cycles. In this talk, I will briefly discuss the role of theoretical chemistry and then delve into the use of mercury stable isotopes to understand the role of marine particles in the production of methylmercury, revisit the concept of mercury as a global pollutant, and examine its use as a tracer to investigate the diet of deep-sea amphipods.
