Friday Music Concert Series: Buffalo Nichols
Devine Theatre, Davis Performing Arts Center
Carl Nichols has been releasing music under the “Buffalo Nichols” moniker since 2021, but his commitment to creative expression dates back to his teens. Whilst his contemporary take on the blues has taken him from the Late Show with Stephen Colbert to NPR’s Tiny Desk concert series, his refusal to bend to genre expectations has seen him be embraced by audiences around the world. In truth, his music owes as much to the traditions of the blues as it does to the fuzz and distortion of shoegaze.
Following the lead of his idiosyncratic artistic desires means that Buffalo Nichols continues to confound, continues to experiment, and continues to find new audiences for his heartfelt, emotionally heavy output. Shying away from making something challenging is simply not an option – be that his personal, political lyrics or his sonic exploration missions into the void. Wherever he leads, curious minds will follow.
Tickets are free and pre-registration is required.

Medical Ethics in the Pitt

Dr. Sens will explore aspects of the Odyssey that make it interesting and challenging to translate and adapt, with some comments on the role of translations and adaptations in classical studies more broadly, and Dr. Stilwell will share insights on the unique score of Christopher Nolan’s film, which forgoes a traditional orchestra in favor of reconstructed Bronze Age instruments.
- School of Health | Saint Mary’s Hall, Room 117
“The Last Worm: Jimmy Carter and the End of a Disease”
In 1986 Guinea worm disease afflicted 3.5 million people across 21 countries. Last year there were ten cases. Join Professor Adam Koon, who lived and worked inside the eradication campaign in Africa, for the story of how a disease with no vaccine and no cure was driven to the edge of extinction by clean water, cloth filters, health education, and the tireless work of village volunteers. He will cover where the last cases are, the emergence of new animal reservoirs, and what Jimmy Carter’s signature project tells us about what global health can and cannot accomplish. - Berkley School of Nursing | Saint Mary’s Hall, Room 111
“Wash and Spin to Health: Expanding Reproductive Health Agency through Partnerships with Community Laundromats”
What if everyday spaces—like your neighborhood laundromat—could also be places of learning and empowerment? Dr. Roxanne Mirabal-Beltran will present her Wash and Spin to Health (WASH) Initiative which looks to expand reproductive health agency through partnerships with community laundromats. Partnering with four community laundromats, we created an innovative pilot study to examine whether a short animation on reproductive health would be welcomed by women patrons in laundromats waiting for their wash to finish. Guided by a community advisory board and rooted in a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach, this project could show us that trusted neighborhood spaces can spark conversations, increase knowledge, and expand health agency. Join us to hear how a simple spin cycle could help transform community health! - Walsh School of Foreign Service | Healy Hall, Gaston Hall
“The World Order We Didn’t See Coming: Neo-royalism and US Foreign Policy”
With the end of the rules-based order, many thought we would fall back into a familiar pattern of great power competition. But from tariffs to Greenland to Iran, US foreign policy has left many scratching their heads. Professor Abraham Newman, John Powers Chair in International Business Diplomacy in the School of Foreign Service, offers an alternative logic whereby national interests are subjugated to those of personalist rulers and their insider court. Think less a new Cold War and more a new Game of Thrones.
- McDonough School of Business | Lohrfink Auditorium, 2nd Floor Hariri Building
“Venture Capital: Small Investments, Outsized Impact”
Venture capital finances only a tiny fraction of new businesses, yet VC-backed companies have played an extraordinary role in shaping the modern American economy. In this interactive session, Professor Sandeep Dahiya will explore how venture capital works, why it is particularly suited to financing risky and innovative businesses, and why its successes and failures look so different from those of traditional investments. Through audience decisions, discussion, and some surprising evidence, we will examine how a relatively small corner of the financial system has had an outsized impact on innovation, jobs, and economic growth.

Throughout, the presentation underscores the pivotal role of science in identifying planetary threats, monitoring ongoing emissions, and evaluating whether recovery efforts remain on track. Taught by Professor Megan Lickley. - McCourt School Joint Program in Public Policy (JPPP) | 125 E St, Room 620
“What’s going to happen in the 2026 midterms elections?”
In nearly every modern midterm, the president’s party suffers a “midterm slump” and loses congressional seats. This lecture examines what drives this cyclical backlash, whether 2026 will deliver enough seat losses for Democrats to flip Congress, and the broader consequences of the midterm slump for American democracy. - The CALL Internship Seminar Mock Lecture | 111 Mass Ave, Room 3408 “How Professions Redesigned Our Lives”
Professions have shaped modern life in ways we rarely notice, changing how we understand expertise, who we trust, how we work, and even who we believe we are.

Professor Tad Howard will lead this discussion.
