Notice Board

El Espiritu de la colmena [The Spirit of the Beehive] (Spain, Victor Erice, 1973). Made during Franco’s dictatorship, this film follows the inner life and outer circumstances of six-year-old Ana. Her world is infused with the devastation of the brutal Spanish civil war, while her imaginary life is saturated with images of the 1931 movie Frankenstein. The horrible but misunderstood monster becomes a powerful metaphor for Spain’s lost innocence. (In Spanish with English subtitles)

Dr. Fraser Hof will present "Analyte-Driven Disassembly and Turn-On Fluorescent Sensing in Competitive Biological Media"

Dr. Jarem Garcia will present "Some propositions for the mechanism of the anodic electrochemical exfoliation of graphite in aqueous solutions".

Les Quatre cents coups [The 400 Blows] (France, François Truffaut, 1959). A film that defines both the French New Wave and the representation of childhood in cinema. Truffaut’s debut film is a tough, honest and sympathetic portrayal of a 12-year-old wild child, who gets into all kinds of trouble while navigating the choppy waters of neglectful parents, disciplinary teachers, intense friendships, and the universal challenges of growing up. Truffaut’s artful pacing and artistic construction make this film a must-see. (In French with English subtitles).

Title: A note on Rueben's theory of trying
Guest Speaker: Gillman Payette

David Ruben has proposed a theory of trying that accounts for the truth of sentences like 'David is trying to move his arm.'  In terms of elaborate counterfactual conditionals, I will present a counterexample to Ruben's theory and then offer a simple fix to the problem.

Everyone is welcome.
