DESCRIPTION: Take a scrap piece of paper from your desk and crumple it into
  a ball. It may not be immediately apparent\, but this everyday object exh
 ibits rich mechanical properties that can provide insights about efficient
  memory storage\, novel computation strategies\, and even the dynamics of 
 earthquakes. Combining experiments\, simulations and theory\, I will demon
 strate how creases in crumpled thin sheets act as mechanical bits of memor
 y that compute collectively. Then\, I will reveal how under external loadi
 ng these bits give rise to extremely slow responses and avalanches\, whose
  statistics resemble the aftershocks that follow a large earthquake.\nSpea
