Add over the past decade, these Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE) have been adapted for social work, including here at NYU. Silver School professors Nicholas Lanzieri, Anne Dempsey, and Gabriella McBride have recently brought the OSCE experience to social work students by hiring and training acting students from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts to act as teens in live, simulated school counseling sessions. During the sessions, NYU Silver faculty observers rate the MSW students' clinical performance. “Live, actor-based simulations provide a level of authenticity that generally isn’t realized in student role-plays that are conducted in the classroom,” says Lanzieri. “Students are able to engage in developing skills with actors who are trained to respond as a real client would, in a low-stakes environment, where harming a real client is not possible. Further it provides students the opportunity to obtain in-the-moment feedback from Silver faculty and the actors." </video> <video> Shared Grief, Shared Hope: Holding Onto Humanity Description: </video> <video> How Student Veterans Find Community at NYU Description: Ahead of Veterans Day, members of NYU's Student Veterans Association group gathered in the Kimmel Center's Military Alliance Community Center to reflect on the role of building connections with other military-connected students in helping with the transition to university life. </video> <video> Brainiacs Episode 16: Election 2024 Description: In this month's episode of Brainiacs, we're making diving into the world of political science and elections. - NYU researchers released new guidelines on how online platforms should monitor violent speech. - Most Americans' beliefs don't fit neatly into either party, making them "party misfits" - Incumbency seems to be an inherent belief among American voters, even with every extraneous variable removed.

Talk Like a Pirate Day (September 19) is an annual opportunity to pepper your speech with swashbuckling phrases like "ahoy matey" and "shiver me timbers." But where does "pirate speak" come from, and is this how historical pirates really talked? We asked Laurel MacKenzie, an NYU associate professor of linguistics who studies dialectology, language change, and varieties of English to explain the origins of some common pirate phrases and sounds. Turns out a lot of it has to do with the movies. Video by Jonathan King </video> <video> Derek Maas competes at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials Description: From growing up swimming in Lake Michigan to becoming the first from @NYUswimming to compete in the @teamusa Olympic trials, Derek Maas knows what hard work looks like. The current @NYUGrossman med student also maintained a perfect 4.0 while earning his bachelor’s and MBA in four years as a star swimmer at @univofalabama. This June, he represented NYU in the Olympic prelims for 100m breaststroke, 200m individual medley, and 100m butterfly. There are more than 325,000 swimmers in the U.S., and Derek is one of just approximately 900 who competed in Indiana for qualifying—making him part of the top 0.2 percent nationally. Here’s what he had to say about the journey there </video> <video> Cool Course Dispatch: Physical Theatre & Improvisation Description: Steinhardt’s Educational Theatre course layers words, sounds, and movement in exercises that free students' imaginations and help them develop performance skills There’s no room for shyness in the Black Box Theatre on the ground floor of Pless Hall, where Nan Smithner’s students meet weekly for “Physical Theatre & Improvisation,” a course that examines the art of improvisation through specific vocal and movement techniques. Required for Educational Theatre students, the course encourages students to be playful and experimental as they discover ways to communicate with their entire body. In any given session, that means jumping, miming, groaning, or any combination of sounds and gestures that express an intention or idea. “I teach a lot through play, and improvisation is embedded in everything,” Clinical Professor Nan Smithner explains. “I’m advocating for the whole body to be expressive.” NYU News attended a recent session, where the students worked with Smithner and teaching Assistant Jordan Stewart on techniques used in Action Theatre. </video> <video> Do Fancier NYC Neighborhoods Have More Biodiversity? Description: Do wealthier NYC neighborhoods have more species of birds and bugs?

We tagged along on their trip to Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx. </video> <video> Single gene motion within the surrounding genomic flows Description: Motion of a single gene (white dot) is marked by its trajectory (colored curve) within the flows of the surrounding genome (arrows).

He is a choreographer and director who teaches dance at the Tisch School of the Arts. As a Faculty Fellow-In-Residence, his responsibilities extend beyond the classroom and into the residence hall where he works with the staff and RAs to provide extra programming and mentorship.

But after its recent passive house retrofit to make the residence hall climate-efficient and comfortable, Rubin reopened with an eye to the future and its 13th floor restored—and for good reason. A straightforward numbering system that matches the building’s architectural plans makes it easier for firefighters and other first responders to find their way to the right place in an emergency. Plus, not everybody thinks 13 is bad news. According to @nyusteinhardt’s Jesse Bransford, an art professor and researcher on occult traditions, the number is actually considered good luck in some circles. No one knows for sure where triskaidekaphobia—or fear of 13—comes from, but he has some theories about the cultural roots of the spooky association. </video>
