Workshop | Marketing Through Google (Free and Pay-Per-Click)

In this seminar they’ll show you how to get the best results using both strategies, based on our experience. They will focus on Google, but most of what we demonstrate will apply to all search engines. This seminar is meant for people who are experienced with web pages but who do not have search engine expertise. However, traditional marketers who need to learn web marketing will find it invaluable.

Lecture | Nurture, Not Nature: Why Lesbians, Gays and Bisexuals Become Liberal Democrats and Engaged Citizens


A lecture by Patrick J. Egan, Assistant Professor of Politics. Why do lesbians, gays and bisexuals (LGBs) tend to affiliate with the Democratic Party and hold distinctively liberal views on a wide range of issues - including issues that have nothing to do with gay rights? Using survey data with nationally representative samples of LGBs, Egan finds that this happens for two reasons: selection (LGBs are more likely to be brought up in environments associated with liberal views later in life) and conversion (the life event of adopting a gay identity is accompanied by the acquisition of a cohesive set of liberal beliefs). These processes lead LGBs to become liberal Democrats well before they have much contact with other gay people or gain exposure to politics.

Lecture | Did Homer Describe an Eclipse in The Odyssey?


A talk by Marcelo Magnasco, Professor of Mathematical Physics at Rockefeller University. Magnasco will describe a reconstruction of the night sky in the time of Homer, connecting real astronomical events to multiple passages in The Odyssey. His lecture will remind that successful theories change our view of the world, our view of ourselves, and even our understanding of epic poetry. Magnasco is one of the most persistently creative people working at the interface of theoretical physics and biology, contributing original ideas to problems ranging from the role of "proofreading" in the separation of DNA strands during replication to the mechanics of the inner ear.
