Details: Speaker: Wöden Kusner (University of Georgia) Title: Measuring chirality with the wind (à la Lord Kelvin)
Abstract: The question of measuring "handedness" is of some significance in mathematics... and in the real world. Propellers and screws, proteins and DNA, in fact *almost everything* is chiral. But we will defer to the chemists, who sometimes reduce this question to: "Are your shoes more left-or-right handed than a potato?" This is joint work with Giovanni Dietler, Rob Kusner, Eric Rawdon, and Piotr Szymczak.
