June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Bacteria
1. Bacteria, Protists, and Fungi
• Objectives:
– To identify the properties of bacteria
– To explore the different kinds of protist and
their features
– To describe the properties and life activities of
fungi
2. Bacteria
• Objectives
– To describe the properties of bacteria
– To explain how bacteria get energy and
reproduce
– To list ways in which bacteria are harmful and
helpful
3. Bacteria
• Greatest number of
organisms in the
world
• Part of the monera
kingdom.
• Live almost
everywhere on Earth
4. Properties of Bacteria
• Single-celled organisms- usually very
small, seen using a microscope
• Simple organisms-lack organelles
• Biologist classify bacteria by their shape.
– Looks – rod, spiral or sphere
– Often form long chains or clusters that look
like a bunch of grapes.
6. Life Activities of Bacteria
• Each bacterial cell carries out all of the
basic life functions
– Ex. Break down dead organisms, some use
sunlight to make food,
Many need oxygen to carry out respiration but
some are poisoned by oxygen. These bacteria
live where oxygen is not present such as the
bottom of swamps. These bacteria produce
methane- a gas produced by bacteria from
hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Methane
bubbles out of the water as marsh gas.
8. Binary Fission
• Bacteria reproduces
by a process called
binary fission.
• Binary Fission is
where the bacterial
cell divides into 2
cells that look the
same as the original
cell. Can reproduce
every 20 minutes.
9. Helpful Bacteria
• Many are helpful in two ways.
– 1. Recycle nutrients such as carbon and
nitrogen. They breakdown dead organisms or
waster. Organisms that do this are called
saprophytes.
• Some or the broken-down nutrients are returned to
the soil and plants use them. Animals eat the plants
to get the nutrients.
10. Helpful Bacteria
• 2. Help plants to get nitrogen.
– Nitrogen is plentiful in the atmosphere but
plants cannot absorb it from the air. The
nitrogen must be changed to ammonia. Some
bacteria lives inside the roots of plants and
change the nitrogen to ammonia. In return the
plants provide food for the bacteria.
11. Symbolic Relationships
• Mutualism- A • Commensalism- A
closeness in which relationship in which
two organisms live one organism benefits
together and help each and the other is not
other.
affected.
– Example- bacteria that
turns nitrogen into – Ex. Barnacles on
ammonia and the plant whales.
provides food for the
bacteria.
13. Useful to humans
• 1. Bacteria help to produce some food.
– Example- cheese, sour cream, yogurt, pickle
• 2. Bacteria can produce many different
materials that are helpful.
– Chemical companies use bacteria to make
vitamins. And some bacteria make antibiotics
to kill other kinds of bacteria.
14. Harmful Bacteria
• Some cause food to
spoil
– Ex. Cause mild to
spoil- refrigerating
food helps to prevent
spoiling because
bacteria grow slowly
at low temps.
– Food that looks or
tastes bad should be
thrown away.
15. FYI
• Doctors prescribe antibiotics such as penicillin to
fight bacterial disease.
• Bacteria often develops ways to resist the
antibiotic.
• Many household products contain antibacterial
agents- dish soap
– They also cause bacteria to become resistant.
– As more bacteria becomes resistant, scientists must
search for new ways to kill the bacteria.
16. Harmful Bacteria
• Some cause disease.
• Ex. Botulism,
gonorrhea, strep
throat
• Some harm the body
by producing poisons
called- toxins.
• A single gram of
botulism can kill a
million people.
17. Protists
• Objectives:
– To describe the features of several types of
algae
– To describe the features of types of protozoans
18. Protists
• Is a kingdom
• Contains over 6,000 species
• Have many features like those of plants,
animals or fungi.
• Are single-celled
• Have organelles inside their cell.
19. Algae
• Plant-like protist are known as algae
• Use sunlight to make food
• Most are aquatic
• Important in 3 ways:
– 1. Produce nearly half the world’s carbohydrates
– 2. Provide food for other organisms
– 3. Release oxygen as they make food- about half the
world’s oxygen that enters the atmosphere comes
from algae.
20.
21. Euglena
• Euglena is a type of
protist
• Has chloroplasts.
• Live in freshwater and
moves with a long,
whiplike tail called a
flagellum.
22. Diatoms
• Diatoms are other kinds of protist
• Found in freshwater and in the ocean.
• Have hard shells that contain silica.
• As diatoms die, their shells build up in
deposits at the bottom of lakes and sea.
These deposits are mined to make metal
polish and soaps.
23. Seaweed
• Is many celled.
• Also called sea
lettuce.
• Giant seaweed is
called kelp- is
harvested and used to
thicken foods.
25. Protozoans
• Animal like protist
• Protozoan means first animal
• Live in water, on land or inside other
organisms.
• Cannot make their own food- eat bacteria
or other protists or dead organisms.
• Divided into 4 groups based on how they
move
26. Amoebas
• Move by pushing out
parts of the of their cell
called a pseudopod,
means “false foot.”
• Amoebas change their
shape
• Use pseudoposd to
surround and trap other
protists.
• Live on rocks and on
plants in ponds.
27. Paramecium
• Move with short,
hairlike structures
known as cilia.
• Cilia moves like oars.
When they move
back, the paramecium
moves forward.
• Often found in ponds.
28.
29. Flegella
• Flegella- push or pull the protozoan
• Example is Giardia lamblia- is a parasite in the
intestines of animals.
• Get from water that contains waste from infected
animals. Causes tiredness, weight loss, but not
usually fatal.
• Ex. Sleeping sickness is more serious caused by
trypanosomes- a protozoan that is a parasite and
lives in blood. Spread by the bite of tsetse flies
which only live in Africa.
31. No means of moving
• Protozoans that reproduce
by forming spores. Called
sporozonas. – a
protozoan that is a
parasite and lives in
blood, may cause malaria
• All sporozonas are
parasites
• Live in the blood of their
host
32. Malaria
• Sporozoan Plasmodium causes
malaria.
• Mosquitoes spread malaria
when they draw blood from an
infected person. The sporozoan
enters the mosquito and
reproduces. The mosquito
transfers the sporozoans when
it bites another person.
• Malaria can be deadly and it
affects ½ billion people every
year.
• It kills 1 –3 million a year.
33. How Protists Survive
• Objectives:
– 1. describe how protists digest food
– 2. explain how protists maintain water
balance
– 3. discuss how protists react to their
environment and reproduce.
34. Protists
• Carry out all of the basic life activities.
• Most are single-celled, but not simple
• Cells must perform the duties of tissues
and organs in a plant or an animal.
35. Getting and Digesting Food
• Algae makes their own food
• Protozoans do not
• Euglena does both
• Amoebas trap other protists
• Paramecia use their cilia to sweep food
particles over their surface.
– The food moves into an opening called the
gullet on the paramecium’s side. The gullet is
like the mouth of an animal
36. Paramecium eating
1.Enters gullet
2. The gullet encloses the food within a bubble like
structure called a food vacuole
3. Small packets of food travel all through the
paramecium and chemicals in the food vacuole
break down the food.
4. The food leaves the food vacuole to be used by
the paramecium.
5. Food that is not digested leaves the paramecium
through an opening called the anal pore.
Amoebas and other protozoan's also digest food
inside the food vacuoles.
38. Maintaining Water Balance
• Most protist live in a watery environment
• Water moves easily through the cell
membrane which causes a problem
• Think of a dry sponge. What happens to
the sponge as it gets wet?
• This is what happens to protists if they can
not control the water intake
39. Osmosis
• The water molecules outside the protists
are more concentrated and the chemical
molecules and water inside the protists are
not as concentrated.
• This difference in concentration causes
water to move into the protist from the
outside.
• Osmosis is the movement of water through
a cell membrane.
40. Passive Transport
• Water molecules move from an area of
high concentration to an area of low
concentration.
• This is a type of passive transport, or
movement, that doesn’t use cellular
energy.
41.
42. Cell’s burst
• Too much water causes a protist to burst like a
water balloon.
• To avoid bursting, protists release water that is
not needed.
• Structures called contractible vacuoles collect
water. They contract or pull together to squeeze
the water out of the protist.
• Contractile vacuoles carry out the same functions
as your kidneys when you drink too much water.
44. Sensing and Reacting
• All organisms must be able to sense and
react to signals in their environment.
• Many protists have an eyespot, which can
sense changes in the brightness of light.
• Eyespots allow algae to move to areas
where the light is brighter. With brighter
light they can make food more quickly.
46. Sensing and Reacting
• Protozoans can sense food in their
environment and move toward it.
• Protozoans can sense harmful chemicals
and move away from it.
• Can move away from objects in it’s way.
• Paramecium’s that bump into an object,
reverse by using their cilia.
47. Reproduction
• Single-celled protist reproduce by dividing
into 2 cells. The result is 2 protists that
look the same as the original cell and is an
example of asexual reproduction.
• Some reproduce in pairs. Each member of
the pair gives some hereditary material to
the offspring. The offspring is different
from either parent. This is an example of
sexual reproduction.
49. Fungi
• Objectives
– Identify the properties of fungi
– Describe the features of several types of fungi
– List ways in which fungi are helpful and
harmful
50. Fungi
• More then 50,000 species belong to this
kingdom.
• Grow in the coldest and hottest places on
Earth.
• Live in water, soil, in or on other organism
including humans.
• When you eat mushrooms, bread made
with yeast, you are eating fungi.
51. Properties of Fungi
• Do no move from place to place
• Cannot make their own food.
• Have no chloroplast like algae.
• Reproduce by releasing spores.
• Most are many celled and a few are single
celled.
52. Properties of Fungi
• Most live in moist, dark, warm places.
• Most are saprophytes because they
decompose waste or dead matter.
• Grow by producing fine tubelike threads
called hyphae.
• Hyphae extends to soil or material they
feed on.
• A mass of hyphae is called mycelium –
usually looks white and fuzzy.
