Fit for Duty: Form and Function in Military Dress — an interdisciplinary exhibition on form, function, and service — explores how military uniforms have evolved in aesthetics, silhouette, material, and visual symbolism—shaping ideals of discipline, identity, and design. Presented across two campus sites, the exhibition connects historical military dress to contemporary fashion, student design, and veteran storytelling. Complementary programming includes a Cornell Cinema film series, gallery talks, and a Veterans Day opening reception.
Opening reception

Join the Hybrid Body Lab for an artist talk with artist Lauren Hooks. Lauren is a stylist and content creator with 10+ years of experience, blending artistry and strategy. Specializing in artistic braiding and editorial styling, she merges technical skill with cultural storytelling. Lauren is the 2026 Artist-in-Residence at the Hybrid Body Lab.

In this presentation, an introduction to biopolymer electrospinning process, as well as an overview of applications of nanofibrous biopolymer mats and their composites created by both a traditional and modified electrospinning process will be discussed. Electrospinning is a fabrication technique, which can be used to create nanofibrous non-wovens from a variety of starting polymer materials. The structure, chemical and mechanical stability, functionality, and other properties of the mats can be modified to match end applications

The exhibit displays student work from DEA/PSYCH/COG SCI 1500: Introduction to Environmental Psychology for an Ergonomic Analysis exercise. This exercise asks students to conduct an ergonomic analysis of their surroundings, identify a problem and propose a solution to the observed problem.

Problem: Students identify an ergonomic problem and analyze what the likely causes of this poor interface are, based on human factors concepts learned in class. For their analysis, students also discuss a salient social

During the late nineteenth century, Ebenezer Butterick and The E. Butterick Company transformed women’s fashion by introducing mass-produced, precut sewing patterns based on a proportional grading system. While these patterns were marketed as accessible and democratic tools for amateur dressmakers, they were based on a rigid sizing framework that codified a vision of bodily “normalcy” centered on corsetry and the proportions of an idealized size “36.”

This talk shares research in progress on the origins

Fibers are ubiquitous in daily life, from clothing and electrical cables to optical fibers and even biological systems like mussels. Beyond these conventional roles, fibers and textiles emerge as key enablers in technologies such as wearable electronics, robotics, clean energy, and water purification. Unlocking these advanced applications requires innovations across materials, design, manufacturing, and system integration. In this seminar, Dr. Shou will share some of their progress on scalable tactile textiles for human–environment interactions, advanced

Cornell Human Ecology and the Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research have a launched a new minor in translational research. 

Translational research is the process of connecting what scientists discover to what happens in the real world. Learn more about the curriculum, the requirements, how the minor can be applied to your major and how it may help you on your career path.
