THE WORLD SCIENCE FESTIVAL COMES TO NEW YORK CITY AND THE NEW SCHOOL
From June 10-14, the World Science Festival, co-sponsored by Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts, turns New York into a grand stage with science as the headliner. Bringing together an all-star cast from an impressive array of disciplines, the festival presents a carefully designed spectrum of programs, ranging from climate change to cryogenics; neuroscience to nanotechnology; and black holes to the Big Bang. Through a series of gripping debates, captivating performances, and interactive events, the festival showcases cutting edge ideas and discoveries, reveals science’s pivotal role in addressing critical global issues, and explores how science profoundly shapes modern life.
Programs at The New School include:
- Pioneers in Science
Thursday, June 11, 4:00-5:00 p.m., at Tishman Auditorium, 66 West 12th Street.
In the second installment of this World Science Festival annual event, selected New York City high school students will interview Nobel laureate and presidential science advisor, Harold Varmus, and preeminent marine biologist, Sylvia Earle.
- Nothing: The Subtle Science of Emptiness
Thursday, June 11, 8:00-9:30 p.m., at Tishman Auditorium, 66 West 12th Street.
Why is there something rather than nothing? And what does “nothing” really mean? More than a philosophical musing, understanding nothing may be the key to unlocking deep mysteries of the universe, from dark energy to why particles have mass. Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek and esteemed cosmologist John Barrow are joined by leading physicists Paul Davies and Michael Turner to explore physics, philosophy, and the nothing they share.
- Rising Waters in a Thirsty World
Friday, June 12, 8:00-9:30 p.m., at Tishman Auditorium, 66 West 12th Street.
Climate change and rising sea levels threaten substantial flooding and droughts worldwide. How do we avoid mass migrations, food shortages, disease, and political conflict that could accompany such devastation? Join the world's foremost adaptation experts as they survey threatened regions of the planet, including New York City, and suggest strategies for changing our strained relationship with H2O.
- Mathemagician
Saturday, June 13, 12:30-1:30 p.m., at Tishman Auditorium, 66 West 12th Street.
Reader's Digest has called "Mathemagician" Arthur Benjamin "America's Best Math Whiz." Returning in an encore presentation, Arthur Benjamin displays feats of mental mathematical gymnastics and shares the secrets behind his skills. A combination of math and magic, this program will captivate the entire family.
- Science Faith Religion
Saturday, June 13, 3:00-4:30 p.m., at Tishman Auditorium, 66 West 12th Street.
Public debate, pitting atheist against believer, typically yields a polarized picture. Might a more nuanced conversation that transcends simplistic assertions, and weaves insights from physics, biology, and psychology provide a more fruitful exchange of ideas? Join scientists and scholars for what promises to be a refreshing exploration of our common search for explanation and meaning.
- A New Look at Nuclear Power
Saturday, June 13, 8:00-9:30 p.m., at Tishman Auditorium, 66 West 12th Street.
When listing clean, renewable energy sources, solar, wind, and geothermal quickly come to mind. But thanks to new reactor technologies, there's a transformation afoot. Some of the most ardent foes of nuclear power now believe it must be a large part of the energy mix to solve the world's climate woes. This program will explore the science and rationale behind giving nuclear power a second chance.

CRAIG CLAIBORNE AND THE INVENTION OF FOOD JOURNALISM
Called the nation’s preeminent food journalist, Mississippi-born Craig Claiborne trained in Switzerland as a chef on the GI bill after World War II. On his return to the United States, he began writing articles for Gourmet and became an editor at the magazine. His career skyrocketed when the New York Times hired him as its first food columnist in 1957. Claiborne's columns, reviews and cookbooks introduced Americans to a wide range of international and ethnic food. Other newspapers followed the New York Times’s lead, and soon a cadre of authoritative food writers helped attune millions of Americans to the finer points of good food and cooking.
On Thursday, June 11, at 6:00 p.m., the Food Studies program at The New School will host a panel that will explore Claiborne's life, work, and his seminal influence on food journalism in America. The panel will include: Molly O’Neill, former New York Times columnist, and author of the New York Cookbook; Betty Fussell, author of The Story of Corn and Raising Steaks; Anne Mendelson, author of Stand Facing the Stove, and Milk: the Surprising Story of Milk Through the Ages, and a contributing editor to Gourmet; David Leite, publisher / editor-in-chief, Leite's Culinaria, and author of The New Portuguese Table; and John T. Edge, director, Southern Foodways Alliance, University of Mississippi, contributing editor, Gourmet, author of Southern Belly.
The panel will be held in the Theresa Lang Community and Student Center, Arnhold Hall, 55 West 13th Street, 2nd floor, and will be moderated by Andrew F. Smith, editor of the Oxford Companion to American Food and Drink, and Food Studies professor at The New School.
Admission to this event is $5; and free to all students and New School faculty, staff, and alumni with ID.

PASS OR FAIL: WHAT’S NEXT FOR NEW YORK CITY’S HIGH SCHOOLS?
On June 17, the Center for New York City Affairs will host, “Pass or Fail: What’s Next for New York City’s High Schools?” The event will bring together city officials, educators, and nonprofit and parent advocates in a discussion on the transformation that has taken place in city high schools during the Bloomberg years. Specifically, the Department of Education has opened 200 small schools and closed or reshaped dozens of others. Families have an unprecedented number of choices in the high school selection process with the introduction of school competition. But how has all this worked out for the students at risk of dropping out? The Center for New York City Affairs will release an analysis of Chancellor Joel Klein’s cornerstone initiatives and ask what must be done to face future challenges to public education in New York City?
The event features a keynote speech by Joel Klein, chancellor of New York City Department of Education. A panel discussion will follow with Zakiyah Ansari, parent leader of Coalition for Educational Justice; Michael Mulgrew, vice president of Career and Technical High Schools, United Federation of Teachers; Eric Nadelstern, chief schools officer of the NYC Department of Education; Sana Nasser, principal of Harry S.

MILANO FACULTY LEND EXPERTISE AT ECONOMIC RECOVERY SUMMIT
On April 27, Milano faculty joined with more than 500 community leaders in a summit organized by U.S. Congressman Charles B. Rangel (D-NY) and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan to discuss how to best access federal stimulus dollars.
The conference aimed at providing established nonprofit organizations with the necessary resources to apply for funding opportunities in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Participants chose from nine issue-specific workshops that provided local leaders with an opportunity to network with government representatives and discuss specific funding initiatives.
Mary Watson, chair of management programs at Milano The New School for Management and Urban Policy, advised leaders from 25 organizations on grant applications for money allocated to labor and training. Professor Dennis Derryck served as the faculty consultant on green initiatives, advising a group of 40 organizations. Faculty from other New York area universities included representatives from Baruch, Columbia University, John Jay College, and New York University.
“We hope that today is the beginning of local relationships and partnerships that will last beyond this stimulus initiative and that can provide insight and assistance when other federal opportunities come down the pipeline,” said Congressman Rangel. “This should be just the beginning of extending your network and your base of resources.”

DRAMA PLAYWRIGHT ALUM NAMED 2009 SUNDANCE INSTITUTE/TIME WARNER STORYTELLING FELLOW
Sundance Institute and Time Warner selected Drama playwriting alum Matthew Paul Olmos (’04) as a 2009 Time Warner Storytelling Fellow. The Time Warner Storytelling Advancement Fund, established in 2007, provides substantial support over four years to help fund the development and celebration of independent artists across Sundance Institute's Feature Film and Theatre Programs. Time Warner Storytelling Fellows, a talented group of Sundance film and theatre artists (up to 20 Fellows over a four-year period), receive grants to enable them to focus specifically on the advancement of the narrative and voice in their projects. Additionally, fellows receive a combination of year-round guidance, residency support, mentoring, and professional development.
"On year three of Time Warner's commitment to storytelling artists, the Sundance Theatre Program is proud to announce that Matthew Paul Olmos and [fellow award recipient] Quincy Long will receive direct artist grant support," said Sundance Institute Theatre Program Artistic Director Philip Himberg.

Olmos’ play I Put the Fear of Mexico in 'Em tells the story of an American couple visiting Mexico who stumble off the beaten path, and are accosted by a Mexican couple in an alley. What ensues is a complex encounter that challenges notions of boundary, safety, identity, and what you would do for your family. I Put the Fear of Mexico in 'Em was developed in part while in residency at INTAR Theatre, NYC.
