SUMMARY:Marden Lecture Series Presents: Juggling Counts
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Prof. Steve Butler\, Morrill\, Professor of Mathematics at Iowa State University \nMathematics is a language which can help us describe and explore patterns. One source of patterns that mathematicians have been exploring comes from juggling (the tossing of objects\, usually balls or clubs). We will look at multiple ways to describe juggling patterns that allow us to find new juggling patterns\, and to count how many possible patterns exist. We can compare answers to various problems to give a combinatorial proof of Worpitzky’s identity. We will also look at a few juggling-based problems that mathematics has not yet succeeded in answering. \nThis event is a part of the Marden Lecture Series\, each Spring the Department of Mathematical Sciences invites a distinguished mathematician to lecture to a general audience. The Marden Lecture honors Morris Marden (1905 – 1991)\, who founded our graduate program and made our department a research department. The Marden lecture is funded through the Miriam and Morris Marden Fund and is co-sponsored by the Department of Mathematical Sciences.

SUMMARY:Dean's Distinguished Lecture in the Natural Sciences: Artificial Intelligence\, Citizen Science and the Future of Conservation
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Ian Owens\nThursday\, April 9\, 2026\n5:00-6:00 pm\, Reception to Follow\nBall Room – UWM Student Union\n2200 East Kenwood Blvd.\n> RSVP Encouraged\nIt’s an exciting time to be a natural historian! New technologies are revolutionizing how we discover\, monitor\, and conserve nature. Amateur naturalists\, armed with cell phones and Apps\, are collecting data at a rate that would have seemed impossible only a few years ago\, and there is now the prospect of using similar technologies to understand how populations are changing in even the most remote forests and deepest oceans. And tens of millions of people are getting excited about what the spring sounds like. Ian Owens will ask what the next 10 years will look like in this fast-moving area\, drawing on examples from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and other leaders in the field. \n\nIan Owens is a professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Cornell University. As an ornithologist\, he focuses on the ecology\, evolution\, and conservation of birds\, using their appeal to engage the public in critical scientific and sustainability issues. Since 2021\, he has served as the Louis Agassiz Fuertes Executive Director of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology\, a leading scientific institute that integrates major programs in technology\, research\, education\, communication\, and global bird conservation. The Cornell Lab is not only a hub for research and training but also enjoys a prominent public profile as the home of several citizen science projects\, apps\, and websites. Notable initiatives include eBird\, Merlin\, All About Birds\, Bird Cams\, Celebrate Urban Birds\, Birds of the World\, and the Macaulay Library of sound recordings. \n\n
