Tuesday, Thursday
3:45pm to 5:00pm
Computation occurs over a variety of substrates including silicon, neurons, DNA, the stock market, bee colonies and many others. In this course we will study the fundamental capabilities and limitations of computation, including the phenomenon of universality and the duality of code and data. Some o...

Michael P. Brenner
Tuesday, Thursday
10:30am to 11:45am
Mathematical modeling is the essential component of the revolution in computation-based research over the past decade. While designing mathematical models is itself an art form, it is equally important to learn how to transform them into computational systems that allow robust evaluation, which...
Thresholds: Design and Science
Science and design are often thought to represent opposite mindsets of analysis versus conjecture, of explanatory versus disruptive modes of thinking. Audacious, provocative, and unconventional work emerges when we cross the traditional disciplinary divide between science and design. The March 2020 conference assembles thought leaders from both areas—researchers and practitioners who interrogate the spaces in between through their work.

The science of ice cream
The lectures pair Harvard professors with celebrated food experts and renowned chefs to showcase the science behind different culinary techniques. The series, organized by Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) is based on the Harvard course “Science and Cooking: From Haute Cuisine to the Science of Soft Matter,” but public lectures do not replicate course content.
