On view October 1 -- December 11, 2025This exhibition draws on archival materials from the Aga Khan Documentation Center at MIT (AKDC) to explore a century of cultural heritage preservation in Aleppo, Syria. It takes as its point of departure the work of Kamil al-Ghazzi (1853–1933), the pioneering Aleppine historian whose influential three-volume chronicle, Nahr al-Dhahab fī Tārīkh Ḥalab (The River of Gold in the History of Aleppo), was published between 1924 and 1926.Ink, Stone, and Silver Light presents three modes of documentation—manuscript, built form, and photography—through which Aleppo’s urban memory has been recorded and preserved. Featuring figures such as Michel Écochard and Yasser Tabbaa alongside al-Ghazzi, the exhibition traces overlapping efforts to capture the spirit of a city shaped by commerce, craft, and coexistence. At a time when Syria again confronts upheaval and displacement, these archival fragments offer models for preserving the past while envisioning futures rooted in dignity, knowledge, and place.

What can honeybees teach us about building a healthier planet — and a sustainable business? Dr. Noah Wilson-Rich, CEO of The Biodiversity Lab and founder of Urban Bee Lab and The Best Bees Company, grew a backyard beekeeping project into a nationwide research network powering insights for NASA, MIT, Harvard, and beyond. Today, through The Biodiversity Lab’s strategic consulting and Urban Bee Lab’s nonprofit research, Noah is expanding that mission to help communities and organizations design actionable solutions at the intersection of science, sustainability, and impact. In this talk, he will share how bees serve as living sensors of biodiversity and climate change — and the lessons he’s learned about entrepreneurship at the crossroads of business, sustainability, and science.

Speaker: Javier Gomez-Serrano (Brown University)

Speaker: John Pardon (Simons Center for Geometry and Physics)Title: Log derived moduli spaces of pseudo-holomorphic curvesAbstract: I will sketch the construction of a canonical log derived smooth manifold structure on moduli spaces of pseudo-holomorphic curves. This provides a convenient language for the construction and manipulation of enumerative and Floer homotopical invariants. Derived smooth manifolds form an infinity-category, which may be obtained from the (ordinary) category of smooth manifolds by freely adjoining finite infty-limits, modulo transverse limits. The derived smooth structure on moduli spaces of pseudo-holomorphic curves comes from a (quite tautological) moduli functor on derived smooth manifolds (the main result is thus that this functor is representable). Log smooth manifolds (essentially defined by Melrose, and recently developed further by Parker and Joyce) are used to capture in precisely what sense moduli spaces of pseudo-holomorphic curves are "smooth" near maps from nodal domain curves. Combining these notions yields "log derived smooth manifolds".

Join us for a private in-person open house for MIT students and alumni featuring Loriann Seluga (MIT '00), Assistant Director of Admissions at Yale Law School. This is a great opportunity to learn more about Yale Law School, our unique admissions process, and our supportive community. There will also be lots of time for your questions!This CAPD event is open to MIT undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and alumni. Registration is required. Please register for this event here.

Join Miranda Dawson, a Postdoctoral Researcher at the MIT McGovern Institute for a conversation around Goldin+Senneby: Flare-Up.Miranda will explore how neuroimaging can go beyond diagnostics and answer a central question: does opioid dependency arise from the brain, the body, or their interaction? By selectively manipulating neuronal populations, her work reveals distinct forms of neuroplasticity that shape this relationship. Miranda's research will provide a framework to understand Goldin+Senneby's work, which explores the pharmaceutical industry and their interest in the lucrative treatments used to treat multiple sclerosis flare-ups.This event is free, but please register through the Eventbrite link in advance.About the SpeakerMiranda Dawson is a neuroengineer in the Department of Biological Engineering, developing advanced neuroimaging tools to study the brain–body connection. She earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and completed her PhD at MIT. Her research focuses on neural representations of physiological processes, particularly opioid-induced neuroplasticity across the central and peripheral nervous systems. Through this work, she aims to uncover the mechanisms underlying addiction and inform strategies for recovery.Graduate Student TalksMIT graduate students and postdocs explore current exhibitions at the List Center through the lens of their own research, background, and interests. Join us for this interdisciplinary lecture series where we dive into how art and research are overlapping on MIT’s campus.

Silent Meditation in the Chapel on Thursdays 6-8pm, open to everyone in the MIT Community. Some sessions include Guided Meditation at 6:30pm.
