SUMMARY:Andreas Kurz: Mexico’s Second Empire and the United States
DESCRIPTION:The Second Mexican Empire (1864–1867) under Maximilian of Habsburg is often underestimated in historiography. Orchestrated by Napoleon III\, the French intervention had major geopolitical consequences and reflected Europe’s fraught relationship with its former colonies. Colonial dynamics—still visible today\, particularly in U.S.–Latin American relations—shaped Mexico’s development with lasting effects. After the U.S. Civil War\, the Monroe Doctrine accelerated the empire’s collapse\, while Maximilian’s attempts at rapprochement with the United States proved futile. His execution in Querétaro symbolically marked the end of monarchical legitimacy in the region. \n \n \n \n \n \nAbout the Speaker:\nAndreas Kurz\, PhD\nAndreas Kurz (Zwettl\, 1968) studied Comparative Literature and Romance Studies in Vienna and Puebla (Mexico). He lives and works in Mexico since 1999. Since 2006\, he is a professor at the Universidad de Guanajuato\, where he founded the Master’s program in Latin American Literature\, which he headed for six years. From 2016 to 2024\, he was the head of the department. He has published books on Mexican Modernismo\, the Cuban novelist Alejo Carpentier\, questions of mimesis\, and various topics in 19th-century Mexican literature. In 2013\, his novel La joroba was published in Venezuela. Also in 2013\, the volume El general Riva Palacio y la vajilla de Francisco José\, which deals with some peripheral aspects of the Second Mexican Empire\, was published in Querétaro. In 2017\, he published the essay Viena: una ficción. In 2023\, his book The French Intervention and the Second Mexican Empire appeared in Berlin. Andreas Kurz is a contributor to the cultural supplements of several Mexican daily newspapers and magazines. He is a level II member of the Sistema Nacional de Investigadores (SNI). He has published over 100 articles in academic journals and other media. \nThis talk was recorded on May 15\, 2026.More ASciNA Virtual Talks are available on our YouTube channel. \nhttps://youtu.be/7el6XDpjW6U?si=RWWgVE-aOFO18qgk

SUMMARY:Caroline Moosmüller: Geometry for Medicine: New Tools to Analyze High-Dimensional Data
DESCRIPTION:Modern medicine generates vast and complex data sets\, ranging from medical images to genetic measurements. A central challenge is to compare such data in a meaningful way in order to identify patterns\, group similar samples\, and better understand disease. Classical machine learning methods often struggle when data is high-dimensional\, noisy\, or lacks a simple geometric structure. \nSpeaker Caroline Moosmüller is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, where she leads the Geometric Data Analysis research group. \nMore info and sign up: https://ascina.at/geometry-for-medicine-new-tools-to-analyze-high-dimensional-data/

SUMMARY:Alexander Lercher: Innate immune memory - how past infections influence future diseases – ASciNA Virtual Talk
DESCRIPTION:Our immune system has the remarkable ability to remember past infections. Adaptive immune memory is highly specific and targets previously encountered pathogens. This powerful defense mechanism allows for rapid eradication of familiar pathogens and forms the basis of vaccines. However\, some viruses\, such as influenza\, are constantly changing\, which makes adaptive immune memory less effective in preventing disease. \nFor full abstract and speaker bio\, as well as signup link\, please see https://ascina.at/innate-immune-memory-how-past-infections-influence-future-diseases/ \n\n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\n\n\n\n\nAlexander Lercher obtained his PhD in immunology from the Medical University Vienna in 2020. In his doctoral thesis\, he investigated the crosstalk of viral pathogens\, host metabolism and immune responses. He is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Rockefeller University in New York\, where he studies long-term consequences of infectious diseases. His research particularly focuses on the formation of pathogen-independent innate immune memory\, which can influence disease caused by unrelated secondary pathogens. \n\nRecording available on YouTube:\nThis talk was recorded on February 20\, 2026. https://youtu.be/z5QFYoLw0wk
