Comfort with Discomfort
Get PDFCentered on the theme of comfort with discomfort, the address focused on President Laurie Carter’s priorities to ensure that Lawrence remains a leader in higher education. She discussed the need to build on Lawrence’s enduring strengths as we look to the future and the challenges facing higher education, and she called on all members of the Lawrence community to join together to guide Lawrence to a brighter future

Programming Simulations of Diel Vertical Migration Behavior of Zooplankton
Get PDFDiel vertical migration of zooplankton is the daily cycle of movement towards and away from the surfaceof a lake that results from the need to avoid predation and forage for food.The process of diel vertical migration is one of the main forces creating the spatial and temporal structure of aquatic food webs, often acting as the biological pump that moves carbon around an aquatic environment(Brierley 2014).In Daphnia, a genus of crustacean zooplankton, this behavior is triggered in response to both lightintensity and chemical signaling by predators. As a result, diel vertical migration changes in intensity in response to fish populations and conditions in the lake that affect light penetration. Until this point, predicting a vertical distribution of Daphnia within a given lake has been difficult given the cumbersome natureand unintuitive results of the mathematics involved. Fortunately, with today’s computing power,reasonable estimates as to how Daphnia are vertically distributed within a given lake can be calculated based on conditions monitored by wildlife agenciesfor existing purposessuch as fisheries management. We have developed a package forthe programming languageR that can generatean estimatedvertical distribution of Daphnia pulex in a lake based on known temperature gradients, light level and penetration, food availability, and predator abundance. This knowledge can be useful for predicting the vertical position of Daphnia populations in a lake of interest for management purposes but also for making predictions about how Daphnia populations will respond to changing environments with conditions that do not yet exist but likely willin the future
Listening to the Internet: Cultural Discourses, Vicente Fernández, and Hearing YouTube Comments
Get PDFHere’s a story: It’s well after midnight. I sit there, at my laptop, tequila in hand.Like a good machista(if I could ever become one), I don’t drink my tequila with much in it: a single ice cube, a squirt of lime, and a dash of tajín. I can feel my cheeks warming up as the alcohol kicks in. I remember what my mom told me about tequilaonce, “you feel it in your chest.” Rancheramusic isn’t for sober listening—for sober ears—you feel it in your chest. No charro(Mexican cowboy)would sing “Por Tu Maldito Amor” sober. Like any goodMexican, I too contemplate with mi Chente1in the cantina, thinking of all the woes and lovers who have wronged me. Chente and I have a pretty big difference, though, since I am a maricón, a faggot, and thus a juxtaposition to the strength of the machista and the charro, the two iconic figures ofwho a “real” Mexican man is. But I have another indulgent secret: not only am I a maricónand a puto,2I’m a niño-niña, a boy-girl. My own betrayal of the Mexican man I am “supposed” to be, my trans-femme queerness (which is a word as foreign to many Mexicans as maricónmight be to you, the reader), is surprisingly not at conflict with the music video3I am watching
