Abortion Rights: The Road from Roe and Casey to DobbsAbortion Rights: The Road from Roe and Casey to Dobbs
Wednesday, March 27, 2024 - 4:00 pm
Francis Degnin, Associate Professor of Philosophy, is giving the March lecture of our Phi Alpha Theta lecture series. In honor of Women's History Month, he is presenting "Abortion Rights: The Road from Roe and Casey to Dobbs".
The Supreme Court's Dobbs decision radically changed the abortion landscape in the US. But it didn't change everything. For example, it didn't change the position, asserted in Roe, that the US Constitution is silent on the question of whether an unborn fetus is a person. It also didn't challenge the notion that a right to privacy is inherent (implied, but not named) in the Constitution.
What are the key points, and rationale, of the Dobbs decision? Of the dissent? This talk will focus on explicating those key points as well as providing a limited assessment of some of the strengths and weaknesses of the arguments on both sides of the decision.

Physics Colloquium: From Chemistry to Code: Field Notes from a Career-ChangerPhysics Colloquium: From Chemistry to Code: Field Notes from a Career-Changer
Wednesday, March 27, 2024 - 4:00 pm
Presentation by Melanie Butler, Data Modeler at Gridium, Inc.
When I graduated with my undergraduate degree in chemistry I had vague plans to pursue research with renewable energy applications, perhaps in an academic setting. Since then I have moved through several seasons of my career, from graduate research, to secondary education, to working with data in multiple sectors. In this talk I will share my personal experiences transitioning from a background in STEM to a career in data science. I will cover a potpourri of topics, including several real-life applications of data science in fundraising, health insurance, and building decarbonization industries. I hope to emphasize patterns of approach that apply across fields, and the ways in which a STEM background lends itself to working in data science.
