SUMMARY:Reconnection Diffusion: Changing the Star Formation Paradigm\,
  Astronomy Colloquium\, Professor Alexander Lazarian
DESCRIPTION:For decades the idea that star formation is regulated by a
 mbipolar diffusion dominated theories of star formation.  Recent obser
 vational data shows that the traditional textbook paradigm has serious
  problems. At the same time recent progress in understanding th magnet
 ic reconnection in realistically  turbulent environments provides a di
 fferent scenario of star formation\, which is based on a new concept t
 ermed reconnection diffusion.  I shall discuss the idea of fast reconn
 ection in turbulent media\, which is the basis of reconnection diffusi
 on\, problems with explaining the existing observational data and the 
 theoretical predictions that the reconnection diffusion entails.
