Investigating prebiotic chemistry and the fundamental features of life like metabolism, information, self-reproduction, natural selection and computation, is significant within the origins of life research. In this context, one of the key elements constitutes the synthesis of chemistry-based natural-life-mimicking artificial or synthetic living systems, starting from a homogeneous aqueous blend of a few strictly non-biochemical compounds, using a technique called polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA). In one of the studies, gradient sequence-controlled polymers were generated through PET-RAFT-PISA

This talk will will focus on how relationships for children in out-of-home care can be supported and sustained beyond placement endings, recognizing the importance for young people and their carers to have an ongoing relationship, even if they are no longer living together, along with the importance of facilitating relationships with birth family.

A particular focus will be on

Systems transformation efforts grounded in deep engagement with stakeholders, rigorous analysis of data, and a nuanced understanding of the complexity of policy and practice can maximize the impact of changes and improve outcomes among youth and families involved with public human service systems. Using examples from her work in Illinois and across the country, Dana Weiner ’92 will describe

Decisions – small and large – are an inherent part of life and can shape people’s well-being for better or worse. As we move through the life span, there are changes in the types of decisions we are facing, the strategies we draw on to make good decisions, and the resources available to recover from poor decisions.
