In recent decades the rise of ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometry has led to enhanced ability in resolving organic matter molecular complexity and opening the black box linking organic matter to the rapidly changing world around us. Combining this technique with other analytical tools recent studies will be described that highlight from the Arctic to the Equator the human impact on the carbon cycle at the molecular level. Examples will focus on permafrost thaw in the Arctic\, the impact of agriculture in the tropics\, and the utility of glacier ecosystems for providing a window into anthropogenic impacts through depositional processes globally. Linking ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometry techniques to other analyses\, particularly the use of radiocarbon\, these examples highlight how humans are impacting the carbon cycle in a myriad of ways across a range of ecosystems. \nTo receive CLE Credit\, you must attend in person. \n\n\n\n From Wednesday\, April 22\, 2026 1:30 PM\n to 2:30 PM EDT\n at Mitchell Hall 005.

Urban growth\, habitat fragmentation\, and changes in natural disturbances like fire and grazing have made it harder to restore native plant diversity at scale. In this Lunchbox Talk\, learn about Jordan Argrett’s research on an underused restoration tool: native root hemiparasitic plants. These plants form symbiosis by tapping into the roots of their neighbors for nutrients. Acting as “pseudo-grazers\,” they can make big impacts on plant communities by curbing dominant species\, rebalancing the competitive landscape\, and creating space for native wildflowers to thrive. Drawing on experimental ecology\, conservation horticulture\, and restoration strategies\, Jordan’s work aims to provide southeastern conservation practitioners with practical\, scalable tools to help bring back biodiversity. \n  \nIn person and virtual registration options are available. Register here! \n\n\n\n From Thursday\, April 23\, 2026 12:00 PM\n to 1:00 PM EDT\n at Reeves Auditorium – NC Botanical Garden.

The field of medicine\, therapy\, and sports psychology is constantly progressing due to research that is conducted from teams of professionals like the ones who make up UNC-CH’s Exercise and Sport Science Department. Moreover\, with many students wishing to serve populations through the research that is gained through exercise and sport science\, it is important that they know how this research is conducted and where they can go to help contribute to this research. Many students within the Pre-Physical-Occupational Therapy club also have a desire to go and meet new people. This event being held in person would be an opportunity for any science-majoring student to go and learn about rigorous\, academic research while making new connections with other students and faculty. \nThe premise of this event would be to shed light upon the collaboration within the field of exercise and sport science and how the research conducted by faculty at UNC-CH translates into practical knowledge used to advance the fields of physical and occupational therapy. \n\n\n\n From Thursday\, April 23\, 2026 7:00 PM\n to 8:30 PM EDT\n at Woollen Gym Room 301.

This year’s event includes a poster session featuring the work of our department’s graduate students\, followed by a keynote talk titled “On the nature of word-internal language mixing” by Dr. Faruk Akkuş of the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst. The Colloquium is free for all who present or attend; there is no registration fee. \nThis talk deals with the language mixing patterns in the verbal and nominal domains of Turkish\, Anatolian Arabic and Northern Kurdish\, initially investigated in Akkuş 2025. In that study\, I proposed the No-Reversal Constraint (NRC)\, which prohibits switching back to a language that has been externalized earlier in the derivation. Focusing on rarely studied trilingual settings\, this talk broadens the empirical coverage of this constraint\, and addresses two issues left unaddressed in Akkuş 2025. I demonstrate that word-internal language mixing takes place even in the absence of phonological and morphological integration\, and in some cases phonological processes do not track each other. As such\, this phenomenon cannot simply be a case of borrowing\, and the NRC applies regardless of the level of integration. Moreover\, I demonstrate that the NRC applies at the domain of morphosyntactic words\, regulating the possible permutations of switches\, and further show that the NRC is a structural\, not linear-based constraint \n\n\n\n From Friday\, April 24\, 2026 3:30 PM\n to 6:00 PM EDT\n at Smith 107.

The bill is the first attempt at federal legislation in the post-2020 book banning era. The bill is short\, but it provides insight into the types of information that can be seen as threatening. What would the effect of this bill be? What can it tell us about book banning more generally\, and how do we respond to this type of legislation? \nAbout the Lucille Kelling Henderson Lecture:\nThe Lucile Kelling Henderson Lecture Series was established in 1990 to honor the memory of Lucile K. Henderson\, SILS faculty member (1932-1960) and dean (1954-1960). As an excellent teacher\, administrator\, counselor and adviser\, Henderson made many contributions to the University and to the profession. She died in 1990 at the age of 95.
