On Jan. 12-14, T��ɫ��Ƶ, Columbia University, and Barnard College will join together for a common purpose: advancing women in Physics. The three institutions will co-present the 2018 Conference for Undergrad Women in Physics (CUWiP) in the NYC region. For most student attendees, it will be their first opportunity to experience a professional conference, get information about graduate school and professions in physics, and access to other women in physics of all ages with whom they can share experiences, advice, and ideas. In addition to the NYC regional conference, 11 other

A five-year research project on complex fluids with potential for transformative scientific discoveries in industries from petro-chemical to cosmetics is underway at T��ɫ��Ƶ’s Grove School of Engineering. Funded by a $5.2 million National Science Foundation grant, the initiative includes 11 partner institutions in France, Germany and Norway. Possible outcomes of the research include: Lubricants that enable more efficient undersea drilling of oil and gas; Improved processes for freezing and solidifying gas for the refrigeration industry; More efficient manufacturing

Historian Mike Wallace returns to T��ɫ��Ƶ’s Division of Interdisciplinary Studies at the Center for Worker Education on Feb. 7 to discuss his new book “ Greater Gotham: A History of New York City from 1898 to 1919.” His talk begins at 6:30 p.m. and is free and open to the public. In “Greater Gotham,” Wallace, a Distinguished Professor of History at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, specializing in the history of New York City, picks up where he left off in his 1,400-page Pulitzer Prize-winning tome “ Gotham.” “Wallace has written another amazing synthesis based on

Funded by a $563,000 grant from the New York City Mayor's Office of Recovery and Resilience, City College of New York’s Grove School of Engineering is helping study the effects of hurricane strength winds on certain buildings under various climate change scenarios. Its partners include the structural engineering firm DRPILLA and the New York City Department of Buildings. Leading the project, entitled “New York City built environment and public safety under extreme wind effects in a changing climate," are the Grove School’s Yiannis Andreopoulos, Michael Pope Professor of Energy Research; Jorge

You are what you eat. But there are many conflicting opinions about what should be on your plate. Learn what you should be eating to promote your health in the new year at a Mini-Medical School hosted by the CUNY School of Medicine at T��ɫ��Ƶ on Wednesday, Jan. 10, 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Ann Meyer, a Registered Dietitian and Clinical Nutrition Manager at NYC Health & Hospitals/Harlem will present the topic: "What's On Your Plate? Breaking Down My Plate & Nutrition in the Media". Meyer will also answer any questions you might have. RSVP for this free event, which is open to

With a Latino student population comprising nearly a third of its more than 16,000 enrollment, T��ɫ��Ƶ’s designation as a Hispanic-Serving Institution is receiving another boost from the National Science Foundation in 2018. City College is a recipient of the first NSF grant designed to enhance undergraduate education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) at HSIs. CCNY had the only successful proposal from the Northeast among seven winners nationally announced by the NSF today. “For decades, NSF has worked to provide members of communities traditionally

Nucleosides are fundamental building blocks of genetic material which makes them attractive for a number of biologically relevant applications and as potential pharmaceuticals. At T��ɫ��Ƶ, scientists are developing facile methods for modifying nucleoside structures to make chemical processes more efficient. Mahesh Lakshman, professor in City College’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, leads a team that has developed easy access to relatively complex nucleoside analogues. They have devised a carbon-nitrogen bond forming strategy leading to new nucleoside analogues

T��ɫ��Ƶ is ranked #6 in the nation by Victory Media in its 2018 Military Friendly® Schools survey. CCNY’s ranking is in the “large public” category. The survey is the longest-running most comprehensive review of college and university investments in serving military and veteran students. “Our 2018 Military Friendly® Schools list is more exclusive than ever, and covers institutions offering certificate programs to doctoral degrees,” said Victory Media. More than 1,600 schools completed the survey. Some 130 former servicemen and women are enrolled at CCNY, according to

As the #metoo conversation continues, another group of victims is being recognized: men. A recently published paper in the American Journal of Men’s Health shows that some men who have experienced sexual violence are hesitant to speak out or seek help. The lead author of the study is Martina Delle Donne, a visiting researcher in the lab of Victoria Frye, associate medical professor in the Community Health and Social Medicine Department, at the CUNY School of Medicine at T��ɫ��Ƶ. This research aims to fill the gap in the literature and better understand how men, both

The Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture at t��ɫ��Ƶ is celebrating the work of faculty artists in an exhibition of five distinct and inspired points of view that illustrate the dynamic relationship between art and architecture. The unique display of faculty fine arts opens Dec. 21 and features works by: Daniel Hauben, celebrated for his deep explorations into urban landscape, has been painting along Bronx streets, parks, and from windows and rooftops for nearly 30 years. Irma Ostroff’s paintings, in vibrant color, are abstract and geometric, subtly influenced by
