Debra Fischer, Eugene Higgins Professor of Astronomy and Professor of Geology and Geophysics

Dr. Fischer will highlight a new instrument built by her team that is changing the field of exoplanets by enabling the detection of small rocky planets like Earth, orbiting nearby stars.

Friday morning, we will feature several of Yale's distinguished faculty members, as well as some special tours around campus and children's activities at Yale's Museums.

Mark Saltzman, Goizueta Foundation Professor of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering; Head of Jonathan Edwards College

The practice of medicine has changed dramatically in our lifetimes. Drug delivery is one area of substantial progress. Drugs have long been used to improve health and extend lives, but recently a number of new modes of delivery have entered clinical practice. In addition, engineers have contributed substantially to our understanding of the physiological barriers to efficient drug delivery. Many new drugs – even drugs discovered using the most advanced molecular biology strategies – have unacceptable side effects which limit our ability treat cancer, or neurodegenerative and infectious diseases. This lecture will discuss an alternate strategy for drug delivery based on physical targeting, or placement of the delivery system at the target site.

All classes are invited to a festive wine and cheese reception on Cross Campus. Bring your friends and enjoy a wide sampling of labels from a variety of small vineyards.

Relive freshman year all over again, meeting old classmates and connecting with new ones as we officially start reunion festivities.
