2015年9月14日,LIGO科学家们首次探测到了引力波,并于2016年2月11日发布,这是物理和天文学的一个里程碑,它证实了爱因斯坦1915年发表的广义相对论中的一个重大预测,标志着引力波天文学领域的开始。从那时起,人类已经捕捉到了四起引力波事件,最近的一次引力波事件是由LIGO和VIRGO同时探测到,也是VIRGO首次探测到。根据科学网的引用数据,发表的文章引用LIGO前三次引力波事件,引用总计超过1700次。
这两场分别于北京时间10月16日22时和23时15开始,中间间隔15分钟,预计于北京时间10月17日零点30分结束。 北京时间10月16日22时:第一场新闻发布会,出席的科学家有: 主持人:美国国家科学基金会主任弗朗丝·科尔多瓦(France Córdova) 加州理工学院,LIGO实验室执行主任大卫·瑞兹(David Reitze) 麻省理工学院,LIGO科学合作组织发言人David Shoemaker 阿姆斯特丹自由大学物理研究院,Virgo合作组织发言人Jo van den Brand NASA戈达德太空飞行中心费米项目科学家Julie McEnery 意大利格兰萨索科学研究所,Virgo合作组织Marica Branchesi 西北大学,LIGO科学合作组织天体物理学家Vicky Kalogera

The Road to Sleeping Dragon: Learning China from the Ground Up Date: Tuesday, October 17, 2017 Time: 4:00-5:30pm Location: Grace Ford Salvatori Hall, GFS 116 Free.
About the Book n 1995, at the age of twenty-three, Michael Meyer joined the Peace Corps and, after rejecting offers to go to seven other countries, was sent to a tiny town in Sichuan. In the last book of his China trilogy, Meyer tells a story both deeply personal and universal, as he gains greater - if never complete - assurance, capturing what it feels like to learn a language, culture and history from the ground up. Both funny and relatable, The Road to Sleeping Dragon is essential reading for anyone interested in China''''s history, and how daily life plays out there today.

Screening: We the Workers Date: Monday, October 9, 2017 Time: 5:00-6:30pm Location: Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism, ASC 204 Free.
About the Film Shot over a six-year period (2009-2015) in the industrial heartland of south China, a major hub in the global supply chain, We the Workers follows labor activists as they find common ground with workers, helping them negotiate with local officials and factory owners over wages and working conditions. Threats, attacks, detention and boredom become part of their daily lives as they struggle to strengthen worker solidarity in the face of threats and pressures from the police and their employers. In the process, we see in their words and actions the emergence of a nascent working class consciousness and labor movement in China. The film was part of the 2017 International Film Festival Rotterdam and other festivals. The film was directed by Huang Wenhai 黄文海 and produced by Zeng Jinyan 曾金燕;。The screening will be followed a Q&A with Han Dongfang, founder and director of the China Labour Bulletin.
