Higher-Spin Gravity : One learner's perspective
In these lectures, we will study the bosonic theory of higher-spin gravity in four dimensions. After discussing the reasons for interest in the theory, we will focus on the equations of motion and their content. We will aim to construct the equations from the ground up in a motivated way. The logical order will differ somewhat from standard introductions. As preliminaries, we will discuss the geometry of spinors and twistors in (anti) de Sitter space, along with various viewpoints on free massless fields with arbitrary spin. An ulterior goal of the lectures is to introduce a new version of the theory (arXiv:1502.06685), formulated on a fixed (A)dS background.

Mechanical manipulations and responses at the scale of the cell and beyond
This is a joint program of ICTS with NCBS and RRI, Bangalore. This is second program on the announced topic and is being organized following the highly successful first program, which was organized by ICTS jointly with NCBS and MechanoBiology Institute, Singapore.The understanding of biological processes at a cellular and sub-cellular scale has made a big leap forward, thanks to the new tools that have made the advance from a qualitative to a quantitative description possible. The application of a wide variety of techniques to mechanically manipulate single molecules or multi-cellular cell composites has allowed scientists to address the question of how organisms react to controlled mechanical cues. This two weeks long program introduces a bouquet of techniques to gain quantitative information of responses of biological material (at all scales) to perturbations of a mechanical nature, and explores how the combination of theory and experiments will lead to a systematic deciphering of th...
