The universe contains all of space, time, matter, and energy. The observable universe measures approximately 93 billion light-years in diameter today, although the size of the entire universe remains unknown.
A career in science journalism may not be what you think. This talk is more than a rehash of one writer's career path (though there is a little of that). It explains where the majority o...
In the movie "Moana" the lead character sings the refrain, "There's no telling how far I'll go" before she heads off on the adventure of a lifetime. In this short...
I will tell brief stories of experiences that have shaped my career, generalize the lessons learned, and translate them to three actionable items: (1) be careful with your pronouns, (2) embr...
Most researchers are curious about how to communicate their science to the media, yet they may also be worried that they'll be misquoted or misrepresented in an article. In an age where...
Scientific posters haven't changed in 30 years, which should be alarming to you (nothing in science should be stagnant). And evidence suggests they are incredibly ineffective. In this ta...
RNA mediates essential biological processes in all organisms. These functions include catalysis of crucial biochemical reactions such as peptidyl transfer during translation and transesterif...
Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) comprises products of genomic recombination that cause somatic changes in gene length and sequence. These circular molecules are derived from canonical...
Current cancer management follows a multipronged approach that include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. There is a pressing need for a platform technology to provide precision chemother...
In the adult mammalian hippocampus, neurogenesis (in which new neurons are generated and integrated into the CNS) is believed to underlie learning and memory. Within the hippocampus, numerou...
The rodent visual system has attracted great interest in recent years, owing to its experimental tractability, but the fundamental mechanisms used by the mouse to represent the visual world...
Many experimental approaches rely on controlling gene expression in select subsets of cells within an individual animal. However, reproducibly targeting transgene expression to specific frac...
One of the most common pathologically relevant mutated variants of ALK-2 (activin receptor-like kinase-2) has a point mutation (R206H) in its Ser/Thr kinase domain that promotes uncontrolled...
Natural light-harvesting systems, such as photosynthetic pigment-protein complexes, efficiently transfer energy through space with high efficiency. Ultimately, we would like to understand th...
This workshop will cover how to craft, organize, and deliver an engaging scientific talk. It will show you how to use various techniques to turn your research presentation into an engaging a...
DATE: August 6th, 2020 TIME: 10:00am PT In recent years Lilly has implemented a Next Generation Research (NGR) initiative to improve the value output of the R&D portfolio. One of the NGR...
When I started my faculty job, I thought that just knowing the type of mentor I wanted to be and the lab culture that I wanted to create would be enough to make these things happen. I couldn...
Primary metabolism supports essential chemical processes of living organisms, and is highly conserved among all life forms. In contrast, specialized metabolism contributes to the fitness of...
Despite the increasing number of effective anti-cancer therapies, successful treatment is limited by the development of drug resistance. While the contribution of genetic factors to drug res...
Why do some individuals live longer than others? Even identical twins have different lifespans, as do genetically identical model organisms raised in controlled laboratory environments. What...
In photosynthesis, solar energy capture to conversion occurs with a remarkable near-unity quantum efficiency through energy transport across a network of chromophore-containing proteins. The...
Unique physical, chemical, and optical phenomena arise when materials are confined to the nanoscale. We are accustomed to making observations for the behavior of living systems on a macrosco...
Our work focuses on developing an optical brain-machine interface capable of interacting with neural activity in real-time. In this talk, I will describe our progress toward building the com...
Infrared spectroscopy and microscopy directly couples to molecular functional groups, providing chemical information without extrinsic labels. However, conventional infrared spectroscopy and...
In the battle between magnetism and superconductivity, magnetism wins so often that only a handful of magnetic superconductors are known. In this context, here we report our characterization...
