🧠✨ What is the physical form of a memory?

Join us on June 18 for the opening of The Shape of Memory, a new site-specific installation by artist Maya Ciarrocchi, created in collaboration with neuroscientists at Columbia University Zuckerman Institute.

Through a custom woven tapestry and immersive soundscape, the work explores memory, science, and storytelling. The evening will also feature a casual conversation with Maya, Sandra Romero Pinto, and artist Manon Casimir-Sainton.

📅 June 18, 2026 | 5:30–7:30 PM
📍 Education Lab, Jerome L. Greene Science Center
🥂 Free and open to the public.

Tiny changes can have profound effects on life. Lochlan Krupa, an undergraduate working in the lab of Andrés Bendesky, knows this well. He recently discovered that the duplication of a single gene gave fish a new ability to make a vitamin from their food.

His story is the latest in The Science Life, an illustrated series that explores the cutting edge of neuroscience and the people helping us better understand our minds, brains, and behaviors.

Discoveries and innovations across engineering, climate, and the biological sciences make our list for the latest research at Columbia you should know about. Let’s take a look!

🦟 Columbia biologists found that cells in the mosquito’s gut drive its appetites. The findings reflect a growing understanding of how peptides like GLP-1 can affect animal behavior. 📷 Alex Wild

🔬 Researchers at @ZuckermanBrain are designing ultra-powerful microscopes to help neuroscientists study near-atomic-level details in brain cells.
📷 Fitzpatrick Lab

🦵 Biomedical engineers at @ColumbiaMed and @ColumbiaEngineering are building non-traditional knee implants using stem cells and biodegradable materials—with longer lifespans and fewer complications after surgery. 📷 Steve Myaskovsky

🧠 At Columbia Engineering, a newly developed implantable imaging tool is expanding possibilities for studying deep neural circuits in the brain.
