[Speaker] Michael D. Graham, Steenbock Professor of Engineering and Harvey D. Spangler Professor, Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Wisconsin-Madison

This in-person interactive workshop is for graduate students, post-docs, and other researchers. This ICOGS* workshop is offered by the Georgia Tech Effective Team Dynamics Initiative and will be facilitated by Prof Mary Lynn Realff (MSE). * (ICOGS) Interdisciplinary Collaboration for Graduate Students Working as part of a team, or group, comes with both benefits and challenges. The benefits include interacting with people who bring different viewpoints, expertise and experiences to the table. However, the challenges include communicating effectively with people who have different backgrounds and dealing constructively with conflict due to different viewpoints. The workshop will explore how diversity in a team can strengthen it, different approaches to dealing with conflict, how to have a “difficult conversation” with both peers and your supervisor, and strategies for avoiding communications problems. Take home tools to improve your team skills will be provided.

This session will be focusing on Contribution and Values, Communication, Conflict Resolution, Crucial Conversation, adn Unconditional Positive Regards.

Rewards are often subject to chance, resulting in situations where animals might not receive them despite taking appropriate actions. Consequently, to maximize the acquisition of specific probabilistic rewards, animals need to develop strategies for coping with their absence, continuing their pursuit of rewards despite the disappointing outcomes. However, the neural mechanisms for developing such coping strategies are poorly understood. I will introduce our recent studies that reveal the distinct roles of dopamine circuits (Ishino et al., Science Advances, 2023) and basal forebrain acetylcholine circuits (Unpublished) for persistent pursuit of rewards.Rewards are often subject to chance, resulting in situations where animals might not receive them despite taking appropriate actions.

Before the year 1590 nobody could have guessed that the remote fort and settlement of Edo on the Eastern Kanto plain would, a little over 100 years later, be the world´s largest city with 1.3 million inhabitants. Samurai lord Tokugawa Ieyasu chose Edo as his new capital, and 15 generations of Tokugawa ruled Japan as shogun from Edo Castle. Edo was populated by samurai and townspeople who developed a distinct culture of their own – kabuki, sushi and ukiyoe prints were all part of their lifestyle. Edo also was the first 100% sustainable city in early modern history – nothing was thrown away for good, everything found a place in recycling. Slowly much of what we experience as “typically Japanese” developed in this storied megacity.
