Numerous studies indicate that agricultural production is sensitive to climate variability, and lack of infrastructure in developing countries increases vulnerability to extreme climate events. In Ethiopia, the historical climate record indicates frequent droughts and floods, which can devastate agricultural production and existing infrastructure. Too much precipitation can flood crops, rot or suffocate roots, and wash out roads, creating similar economic conditions to those resulting from drought.

A young man travels to Trinidad to reconnect with a transgender parent, uncovering the complex realities of love and family. Jonathan Lewis-Adey was nine when his parents separated, and his mother, Sid, vanished entirely from his life. It is not until he is a grown man that Jonathan finally reconnects with his beloved lost parent, only to find, to his shock and dismay, that the woman he knew as "Sid" in Toronto has become an elegant man named Sydney living in his native Trinidad. For nine years, Jonathan has paid regular visits to Sydney on his island retreat, trying with quiet desperation to rediscover the parent he adored inside this familiar stranger, and to overcome his lingering confusion and anger at the choices Sydney has made. At the novel's opening, Jonathan is summoned urgently to Trinidad where Sydney, now aged and dying, seems at last to offer him the gift he longs for: a winding story that moves forward sideways as it reveals the truths of Sydney's life. But when and where the story will end is up to Jonathan, and it is he who must decide what to do with Sydney's haunting legacy of love, loss, and acceptance.

Gravitational microlensing is one of the most sensitive methods we have to search for macroscopic dark matter. NASA’s upcoming Roman Space Telescope will dramatically advance this search by performing a comprehensive microlensing survey of the Galactic Bulge at sensitivities orders of magnitude stronger than existing telescopes. Its unprecedented sensitivity will provide the opportunity to search for dark matter across a wide range of unexplored parameter space; however, it will also pose new challenges, including an irreducible astrophysical background in the form of free-floating planets. In this talk, I will discuss how population-level modeling can help mitigate this background and open the potential for Roman to make a first discovery of macroscopic dark matter in our galaxy.
