Art League RI and the University of Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanography are featuring the works of artists and scientists in a new exhibition titled “The Synergy Project: A Collaboration of Art and Science” at Studio Blue on the URI Narragansett Bay Campus.With its goal to communicate oceanographic research to wider audiences through art exhibits and events, The Synergy Project has paired artists across many mediums with scientists from URI and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution since 2020. This third Synergy Project group exhibition features 50 pieces from returning artists and scientists as well as new work exploring new topics. Each exhibition is an opportunity for guests to learn about ocean science in an engaging and unconventional way, prompting new conversations about science and its importance in climate regulation and ocean health with communities near and far.

Nanofiber Technology for Personal Protection EquipmentAirborne transmission via aerosolized droplets is the major mode of transmission for many respiratory viruses including SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). The global COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the effectiveness of respiratory PPE (facemasks and respirators) as a tool for mitigating the spread of viral disease, but it also highlighted certain deficiencies with conventional meltblown polypropylene filter media, such as performance degradation in the presence of heat or humidity, limited shelf life and potentially large environmental footprint. To address these problems, we are motivated to develop alternative technologies that are more robust and can be scaled up quickly and reliably. Electrospinning is one such technology, suitable for manufacturing nonwoven filter media comprising submicron fibers (“nanofibers”) with controlled morphology from a wide selection of materials. Electrospun media have found applications in tissue engineering, green energy, high performance materials, catalysis and industrial filtration, to name a few. Previous experiments and modelling suggest that nanofiber media can have a much higher aerosol collection efficiency compared to microfibers for a comparable air resistance. Electrospun technology thus has the potential to open up new space for the design of filtering facepiece respirators (FFR) that satisfy international standards. We first discuss the design of electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) aerosol filters for FFRs and propose a simple graphical method that facilitates the design process. We also compare our experimental observations for a subset of materials to existing models for aerosol filtration and pressure drop and observe quantitative agreement that can be used to further guide the design of electrospun PPE. We also consider issues related to the practical implementation of these materials into respirators and demonstrate the fabrication and testing of face masks that meet the N95 standard. We then extend our process to the development of electrospun filtration media based on polycaprolactone (PCL), a commercially available, biodegradable polymer, and demonstrate that these materials can also show good filtration performance and meet the N95 standard.

The last golden age of Hollywood filmmaking, the New Hollywood, ran from the late 1960s through the late 1970s. This period is largely marked by male film auteurs, such as Arthur Penn, Hal Ashby, Bob Rafelson and Robert Altman. Joan Tewkesbury collaborated with Altman on several of his films, including McCabe and Mrs. Miller (1971, as a script supervisor) and Thieves Like Us (1974, her first credit as a feature writer). She then wrote Nashville, which she had proposed to Altman prior to his filming of McCabe & Mrs. Miller; he became interested in the setting and sent Tewkesbury to Nashville in the fall of 1973 to observe the area and its citizenry. Tewkesbury's diary of her trip provided the basis for the screenplay, with many observations and incidents making it into the finished film. Nashville is regarded as one of the greatest films of all time. In 1992, Nashville was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Tewkesbury transitioned into directing her debut film Old Boyfriends (1979) and acclaimed cable films including The Tenth Month (1979) and Cold Sassy Tree (1989). She had a very lengthy career directing episodic television from Northern Exposure, Doogie Howser, M.D., Felicity and Chicago Hope.Tewkesbury is regarded as a pioneer for women working creatively in the film and television industry. She forged a path when very few women were directing and was able to leverage her screenwriting skills to develop directing projects and assignments. She became an inspiration to many who felt that their talent and ideas were unappreciated by the mainstream industry.For the past two decades, she has contributed to the Sundance Institute with writing and directing workshops. Through these efforts, Tewkesbury has continued to mentor the next generation of female directors and screenwriters along with many others. She has also taught screenwriting, at the University of Southern California, with her screenwriting workshop “Designed Obstacles, Spontaneous Response” travelling throughout the United States, Israel, and Japan. Since 2003, Tewkesbury has lived in Tesuque, New Mexico.In 2011, Tewkesbury published her first novel, Ebba and the Green Dresses of Olivia Gomez in a Time of Conflict and War.This event is sponsored by the Harrington School of Communication and Media.
