SUMMARY:Physics Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: We explore the prospects of very heavy millicharged particles as candidates for some or all of dark matter (DM). Constraints on their properties like charge\, dipole moment and mass are obtained by translating the current limits set by state-of-the-art nuclear recoil experiments like XENONnT and LZ. We contrast the extracted limits with those coming from astrophysical considerations\, such as the decoupling of DM from regular matter during the recombination epoch and the suitability of the dynamical environments in the galactic halo for these heavy and charged beyond the Standard Model particles to remain lodged-in and available for future detections. \nAbout the Speaker: Girish is CV Raman Postdoctoral Fellow at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). He has done his BS-MS from IISER\, Pune.  He was a graduate student in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Kentucky. Currently\, he is working with Dr. Rajesh Gopakumar on Conformal Boot-Strap in Mellin Space.  \nWe look forward to your active participation. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Ashoka Economics Department Weekly Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Dear All\, \nThe Department of Economics invites you to their weekly seminar on Wednesday\, January 22nd\, 2025. \nTime: 1:40 PM to 2:50 PM \nZoom Link: https://zoom.us/j/97276246135?pwd=J5IBQGovCky8r7LFXcPcHIFHYpRBxM.1 \nSpeaker:  Alejandra Martinez \nTitle: "Trade Relationships During and After a Crisis:  Evidence from Road Disruptions in Colombian Flower Exports" \nAbstract: I study the impact of an extreme weather event on international trade relationships. Exploiting variation in Colombian flower exporters’ access to cargo terminals during an unprecedented La Niña season in 2010-11 when some roads became impassable\, I find that exporter-importer relationships exposed to road disruptions became 7 percentage points less likely to end during the road disruptions. These results are driven by importers that can hedge against non-deliveries by relying on current relationships. A firm-level exposure measure shows that relationships linked to importers who cannot rely on other current relationships for sourcing are more likely to end. I present a theoretical framework that rationalises the decision to keep or replace a relationship based on (1) the relative cost of establishing a new trade relationship\, and (2) firm profits affected by other exposed relationships. The findings shed light on the dynamics of international buyer-seller relationships in the context of extreme weather events.

SUMMARY:Invited Talk: Evolution and Diversity of Mitosis
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  \nDespite the fundamental role of cell division in the propagation of cellular life\, eukaryotes have evolved a diverse range of strategies to remodel and partition organelles and cellular contents in mitosis. What drives the evolution of mitotic mechanisms? Bridging lab and field expeditions\, we use a range of microbial model systems\, comparative genomics\, imaging and experimental evolution to probe mitotic diversity on short and long evolutionary timescales. I will present our recent work on karyotype evolution in budding yeast\, on mitotic mechanisms in deep-branching holozoans and in green algae\, and finally our initial efforts to generate a eukaryotic mitotic atlas.    \n  \nAbout the Speaker: \nGautam is a Group Leader at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL)\, based in the Cell Biology and Biophysics Unit of its Heidelberg headquarters. His research group investigates the evolution and diversity of mitosis and nuclear remodelling across eukaryotes using a combination of comparative cell biology\, experimental evolution and genomics. Gautam started his group at EMBL in early 2021\, after a postdoc at UCL with Buzz Baum. Gautam holds a PhD from Stanford University and a research MSc. from NCBS. Gautam is an ERC Investigator (2023-2028)\, an EMBO Young Investigator (2025-2028)\, a FEBS Excellence Fellow (2024-2026); a previous holder of a Marie-Sklodowska Curie postdoctoral fellowship (2017-2018) and a Stanford Graduate Fellowship in Science and Engineering (2009-2012).
