a quantum hybrid of atoms and milligramscale pendulums towards gravitational quantum mechanics

does gravity obey the laws of quantum mechanics can gravitational fields exist in superposition states or mediate entanglement these questions lie at the frontier of physics and have crucial implications affirmation would constitute a union of the gravitational and quantum realms while negative results would demand a revision of fundamental physical laws only recently have we identified potential paths to entertain experiments to address these questions daunting technical challenges nevertheless remainthe objective of this proposal is to enable the observation of quantum signatures in gravitational interactions by developing interacting systems of cold atoms and milligramscale pendulums this objective will be addressed with three concrete goalsgoal a gain unparalleled control over quantum behavior of massive objects by pioneering lightmediated artificial interactions between atoms and milligramscale massesgoal b observe for the first time the gravitationally driven dynamics of a pair of masses that behave quantum mechanicallygoal c demonstrate the basic tenets of entanglement mediated by force fields of macroscopic objects utilizing electrostatic interactionsthe key to achieving the objective is to induce unprecedented levels of quantum delocalization for a massive object the core novelty of this project is to use an atomic ensemble as a quantum regulator of radiation pressure acting on a massive object with interactions of two copies of such a system the project will set the stage for gravitationally mediated entanglement archetypal quantum signature this approach builds on techniques to control atomic ensembles in optical cavities where the pi has demonstrated worldleading results though inherently high risk this proposal lays out a conceivable path toward shedding light on some of the most fundamental questions in contemporary physics

performing selling and buying love women between commodification of intimacy and selfactualization in contemporary japan

by investigating the development of services provided by women to cater the emotional and sexual needs of women in contemporary japan this project addresses the relationship and the tension between the possibility for selfexpression the role of intimacy and its intersection with the neoliberal market from a feminist perspective this project stands at the nexus between japanese studies and gender studies and it investigates to what extent the market for femalefemale commodified intimacy provides women with the chance to explore alternative ways to perform femininity outside a heteronormative frame my contention is that occupations where femaleborn individuals provide emotional andor sexual satisfaction to other women allow space for expressions of intimacy and gender performativity outside the binary malefemale division for both clients and providers when dating meeting or loving another woman within the frame of paid intimacy both subjects escape the pressure generated by heteronormativity commodified forms of intimacy i argue allow women to challenge societal expectations about femininity to obtain increased emotional satisfaction and freedom by tackling these dimensions i discuss the dissatisfaction of japanese women with the dominant relational models eg marriage and provide a new understanding of the development of alternative relational models to the detriment of the traditional heteronormative family framing these choices as a form of longterm resistance the project fills a gap as the investigation of contexts where women are at the same time both clients and providers of commodified intimacy is still largely unexplored in addition instead of essentializing this phenomenon as a feature of japan this project situated at the juncture of postindustrial consumerism and globalizing neoliberal reformation and its findings can be applied to contemporary societies witnessing the ramifications of love ondemand

versatile polypeptidebased intranasal drug delivery platforms to tackle cns disorders

nearly one in six of the worlds population suffered from neurological disorders this number is expected to keep growing many of those central nervous system cns disorders do not have still an approved therapy mainly due to one of the most challenging barriers the bloodbrain barrier bbb only 2 of smallmolecule drugs and 0 of biologic drugs can reach the brain thus stunting the development of treatment options in polybraint we will explore the technical and commercial feasibility of an intranasal drug delivery platform derived from erc consolidator mynano to deliver biological agents to the brain for the treatment of cns pathologies after an adequate functionalization our intranasally in administered nanocarrier can reach the brain and diffuse through to specific areas of interest ie hippocampus olfactory bulb polybraint aims to confirm the transport delivery and controlled release of a functional biological agent establish an intellectual property strategy and assess the future commercialization feasibility of our innovative platform our in platform has unique properties capable to overcome the main limitations of existing approaches and can revolutionize what has been achieved so far in the field including greater versatility higher loading capacity and controlledsustained drug release after rationally design bioresponsive conjugation strategies among others additionally our nanocarrier can be scaled at the industrial level and thus overcome a significant bottleneck of current nanocarrierbased therapeutics our platform offers a highly attractive business case as biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies heavily invest in nanomedicine due to the need for novel drug delivery strategies that can cross challenging biological barriers such as the bloodbrain barrier
queerying psychoanalysis radical french thought and lgbtiq politics from the 1970s onwards

since their inception in the early 1970s radical lgbtiq movements and scholarship in france have developed a multifaceted critique of normative psychoanalysis and its role in shaping public debates about gender and sexuality today in light of rampant transphobic ideologies endorsed by leading french psychoanalysts this research project responds to an urgent need to better understand the historical role of psychoanalysis in the pathologisation of lgbtiq communities in europe while shedding light on new approaches that embrace gender and sexual diversitythrough innovative qualitative methodologies queerpsych will critically examine the historical relationship between psychoanalysis queer thought and lgbtiq politics focusing on the french context it will offer the first comprehensive study of the queer critique of psychoanalysis bridging existing scholarship on the politics of kinship the reception of american queer theory in europe and queer psychoanalytic theory by doing so the project will offer a new comparative framework while introducing previouslyuntranslated french materials to anglophone scholarshipunder the supervision of leading gender studies and intellectual history scholars eric fassin universit paris 8 and emily apter new york university this project will benefit from the dual locations of its hosts to develop a comparative approach that bridges american queer theory and french intellectual history thanks to this fellowship i will acquire new methodological skills and teaching qualifications while disseminating research findings in both american and european contexts the projects publication plan includes four peerreviewed articles a monograph and various conference papers beyond academia it will engage with international lgbtiq communities archivists policy makers clinical practitioners and the general public
