- The John Brademas Center of New York University and NYU Washington, DC hosted a conversation with author Sayu Bhojwani to discuss her book, People Like Us.
Sayu Bhojwani is the founder and president of New American Leaders, the only national organization focused on preparing immigrant leaders to run for public office. She served as New York City's first Commissioner of Immigrant Affairs and lives in New York.
People Like Us is an inspiring story of political newcomers (sometimes also newcomers to America) who are knocking down built-in barriers to creating better government. The system is rigged: America's political leadership remains overwhelmingly white, male, moneyed, and Christian. Even at the local and state levels, elected office is inaccessible to the people it aims to represent. But in People Like Us, political scientist Sayu Bhojwani shares the stories of a diverse and persevering range of local and state politicians from across the country who are ch...

- NYU Washington, DC and the National Democratic Institute (NDI) hosted the launch of NDI's Women’s Political Participation Risk Index, and a safety planning tool to help women who are or intend to become politically-active, to mitigate the threat of violence that they face.
As more women step forward and engage in political activity, there is a rising backlash against their equal participation. This is an abuse of human and civic rights, and the exclusion of women undermines the quality of democracy.
Speakers for the evening included Dr. Madeleine K. Albright, NDI Chairman and Former Secretary of State, Farida Bemba Nabourema, Executive Director at Togolese Civil League, Sandra Pepera, Director for Gender, Women and Democracy at NDI, Dr. Mona Lena Krook, Professor at Rutgers University, Geoff Hughes, Director for Global Security and Operations at NDI, and Shari Bryan, Vice President at NDI.

- Description
- A new method for simultaneous measurement of 71 inorganic elements in liquids—including water, beverages, and biological fluids—makes element testing much faster, more efficient, and more comprehensive than was possible in the past.
Researchers at NYU College of Dentistry studied samples of liquid from a variety of sources worldwide, including tap water from a New York City suburb, snow from Italy and Croatia, rain from Brazil and Pakistan, lake water from Switzerland and Croatia, and seawater from Japan and Brazil. Testing each sample results in a distinct elemental pattern, creating a “fingerprint” that can help differentiate between substances or trace a liquid back to its environmental origin.
“Because of this new method, our mass spectrometer can simultaneously measure all inorganic elements from lithium to uranium. We’re able to measure the elements in far less time, at far less expense, using far less material,” said Timothy Bromage, prof...

“This might explain how we often blow bubbles as kids: a quick puff bends the film outward and thereafter the film still inflates even as the flow of air slows,” says Leif Ristroph, an assistant professor at NYU’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and one of the researchers, referring to the second method.

- NYU Washington, DC and the DC Jazz Festival presented an interview with American composer, songwriter, Jazz singer, and pianist Patricia Barber.
From her early days leading a jazz trio in small Chicago nightclubs, Patricia Barber has drawn extravagant accolades. The praise came at first from local writers, impressed by her unique arrangements and coolly composed piano improvisations. As she added vocals to her repertoire, the praise poured in from national reviewers intoxicated by her recordings. And when (after years of international touring) she began to focus on her own compositions, kudos arrived from new fans, besotted by her lapidary lyrics and her often indelible imagery.
Washington, D.C. based music journalist and DJ John Murph facilitated the conversation for the evening.

- NYU Stern Gallatin Lecture Series on Banking: Strengthening and Streamlining Bank Capital Regulation
NYU Stern and The Clearing House proudly present the Gallatin Lecture Series on Banking: Strengthening and Streamlining Bank Capital Regulation with Jeremy Stein, Moise Y. Safra Professor of Economics, Harvard University. Started in 2015, this speaker series brings to the banking community and the broader public the most distinguished and influential thinkers in the field of banking and bank regulation.
The Gallatin Lecture Series on Banking is inspired by Albert Gallatin (1761-1849). Throughout his long and distinguished political career, Gallatin was intimately involved with the financial and banking issues of his time. As Secretary of the Treasury he proposed the establishment of a consortium of private banks, which idea ultimately became The Clearing House. Then, after settling in New York, he helped found New York University.
