In recent years, the shipping industry has increasingly strategized to decarbonize itself. Conventionally, the industry has been understood as a hard-to-abate sector, one that is hard to decarbonize due to its heavy reliance on fossil fuels. In response to the global call for climate action, however, it has increased its engagement in decarbonization in recent years.

Join us for a lecture titled "Adam Smith on Slavery" by Aaron Garrett, a professor of philosophy at Boston University.

Speaker: Liang Jiang, Professor of Molecular Engineering, University of Chicago, Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering

Paul A. Janmey, PhD Institute for Medicine and Engineering, Center for Engineering Mechanobiology University of Pennsylvania "Activity of chromatin remodeling motors controls nuclear mechanics and tumor cell migration in 3D environments"

Part 3 Welding Parameters will focus on the following: • Understanding Heat, Speed, and Pressure • Establishing Welding Windows • Importance of Welding Windows • Impact/Dangers/Wrinkles from Ambient conditions • Parameter recommendations • Pre-weld Testing • Correct seam overlap • What if FML is not clean (dust, water, painting)

Sayan Banerjee (UNC) talks about "Percolation on Dynamic Random Networks."
