American Sign Language (ASL) Group Event
Every Other Friday, 1:00pm-1:45pm (9/18, 10/2, 10/16,10/30,11/13, 11/27)
Click here for Syllabus
Description: Join us for our first Virtual event on American Sign language (ASL), and the Deaf Culture. In these events, we will learn some basic ASL, strategies for working and interacting with D/HoHindividuals. We will also use these meetings for questions and answers on working with D/HoH interns/students.
Registration is free but required to get your unique zoom link. Register here: https://harvard.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcpf-yoqDIqE9IXZcVLASjAE0JdfosMwByT

Ethics Workshop
Thursday June 18, 7:00 pm
URAF will be hosting their annual seminar on research integrity, featuring Dr. Logan McCarty (FAS Director of Science Education). The program will be held as a one-hour Zoom meeting on Thursday, June 18, beginning at 7:00pm Eastern Time. As in the past, they will be utilizing a case-study methodology, using polling as a tool for participants to think through particular scenarios such as the proper use of citations and attribution, figures, funding, and other important considerations that drive responsible conduct in research.

Introduction to Python
by Atefeh Rahmani, Graduate Student UMass Dartmouth
June 16 - August
Tuesdays and Thursdays 3:00pm - 4:00pm
Click here for Syllabus
This is 11-week online programming class in python. This introductory course is designed for beginners. Python is an interpreted language with a simple syntax and its powerful set of libraries makes it one of the most used and in-demand programming languages. This general-purpose language is commonly used for data analysis, artificial intelligence, web development, and machine learning. In this course, you will learn the tools and techniques for data analysis. By completing this course, students will be able to understand Input/Output (I/O), statements, functions, and Python visualization libraries to design and solve a problem.

Using Vector Calculus to Solve Problems in Electricity and Magnetism
by Steven L. Richardson, Professor Emeritus, Howard university June 19 - September 4 Fridays 2:00pm - 4:00pm Click here for Syllabus |
There is an old but true adage that, “Mathematics is too important to be left just to the mathematicians to do.” Clearly mathematics is a very powerful tool which touches every aspect of science and engineering. In particular, many undergraduate STEM majors find the subjects of multivariable calculus and vector calculus to be quite challenging. In this CIQM summer course we are going to use the beautiful subjects of electricity and magnetism to show how vector analysis and vector calculus actually work. We will cover the following topics: Coulomb’s law, the electric field, Gauss’s law, the electrostatic potential, electrostatic work and energy, capacitors, electric dipoles, and an introduction to magnetostatics. It will be assumed that the student has certainly seen these subjects in an introductory physics course, but we will revisit them in more detail through a series of clear lectures and problem sets.

Probing Quantum Materials with Light
Instructor: Arthur McClelland, Harvard Center for Nanoscale Systems June 24th - July 29th Wednesdays 1:00pm - 3:00pm Click here for syllabus |
This course will help give students a foundational knowledge of quantum materials and how they can be probed with light from an experimentalist’s viewpoint. No background knowledge is assumed.
Goals of course – be able to understand what a quantum material is and the optical spectroscopy techniques that are commonly used to probe quantum materials.
Time commitment of students: 12 hours of live online participation, plus time reading, plus time problem solving. (no formal exams or grading)
