Glass Ceiling or Sticky Floor?: How self-limiting behaviors, assumptions and beliefs can hold women back in their careers*
Presenter(s): Rebecca Shambaugh
Status: Available
Air Date: 10/10/2007
Air Time: 4:30 PM EST
Length: 1 Hour 4 Minutes 26 Seconds
Ms. Shambaugh’s presentation will focus on seven “sticky floors,” or self-limiting behaviors, assumptions and beliefs that hold women back in their careers. The talk is for faculty, staff and students interested in avoiding or breaking free of these sticky floors. Her key points will focus on building strategic relationships, leveraging political savvy, making words count, negotiating for what people want and need, achieving work/life balance, asking for help and taking prudent risks, and balancing perfectionism with excellence.

Bottom-up nanomanufacturing: integrating nanowire sensors with silicon nanoelectronics
Presenter(s): Theresa Mayer

Air Time: 11:00 AM EST
Length: 1 Hour 3 Minutes 43 Seconds
Realizing the potential of nanowires and nanotubes as active devices in integrated micro/nano-systems requires the development of assembly strategies for producing individually addressable arrays of these nanostructures. Long-range forces induced by spatially localized, nonuniform AC electric fields have been used previously to assemble nanowires from suspension between pairs of prepatterned electrodes on a silicon chip. In this presentation, we will summarize the results of an experimental and theoretical study conducted to investigate the factors that influence nanowire alignment density, placement position, and assembly yield. By understanding the balance of forces exerted on the nanowires during assembly, we were able to optimize the assembly conditions and align large-area nanowire arrays (> 2 ´ 2 cm2) with densities exceeding 106/cm2 and individual nanowire placement yields greater than 90%. We will also show that this electric-field directed assembly technique can be used to integrate nanowires onto fully processed multiplexed CMOS circuits, and to position different types of chemically-functionalized nanowires in different locations of the chip. This will enable bottom-up integration of on-chip multi-analyte chemical and biological sensor arrays.

Meet The Inventor of the Nemeth Braille Code for Math & Science
Presenter(s): no photo

Air Date: 10/27/2008
Air Time: 9:00 AM EST
Length: 3 Hours
This event is co-sponsored by Library Services for Persons with Disabilities and the Happy Valley Chapter of the National Federation for the Blind. Abraham Nemeth (1918-) is Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at University of Detroit Mercy in Detroit, Michigan. He was hired in 1955 and retired in 1985. Since then, Nemeth has remained very active. He served on the Research and Development Committee of the National Federation of the Blind, through which he worked on a program which converts a computer with a speech synthesizer into a talking scientific calculator. He was the chairman of the Michigan Commission for the Blind from 1991 until 1993. His determination to pursue his love of math and science, despite the lack of Braille materials in these fields, had led him to create what is now known as the Nemeth Code for Mathematics and Science Notation. In 1952, this unique and revolutionary idea became the standard mathematics code for the blind and visually impaired in the United States, and later Canada and New Zealand. This was a landmark step in the opportunity for blind students to engage in scientific studies. The Nemeth Code has gone through 4 revisions since its initial development and continues in wide use today.
