Tango Beginner’s Workshop
Coming out in class: Why active learning is important in science courses for LGBTQIA students
The marginalization and bias against members of our LGBTQIA community and other minoritized populations in STEM is not only unjust and harmful, but inhibits creativity and innovation. Active learning and an inclusive class climate promotes the relevance of students’ LGBTQIA identities to their scientific interests and increases engagement, performance, and persistence.
[Seminar] A kinase and a phosphatase: molecular basis of inherited Parkinson’s disease by Prof. Suzanne Pfeffer
June 23, 2023 10:00 - 11: 00 at C700, Lab 3
Prof. Suzanne Pfeffer, Biochemistry at Stanford University School of Medicine
A kinase and a phosphatase: molecular basis of inherited Parkinson’s disease
Activating mutations in LRRK2 kinase cause Parkinson’s disease and activated LRRK2 phosphorylates a subset of Rab GTPases. We have discovered that Rab phosphorylation blocks primary cilia formation in specific neurons and astrocytes in the nigrostriatal circuit that are important for dopaminergic signaling in Parkinson's disease. This lecture will provide an update on our studies using purified LRRK2 and its counteracting PPM1H phosphatase to understand how the proteins become localized and activated on membrane surfaces. In addition, work will be presented related to the consequences of LRRK2 mutation for neurons and astrocytes in the dorsal striatum of mice and humans.
Levitodynamics of optically active nanocrystals
Did you know that for some very special materials, when you shine light on them they will cool down? Optical refridgeration is not a very well known phenomena but it can cool materials down to temperatures below 100K! In this talk we will discuss the optical trapping of nanoparticles AND the bulk cooling of them using optical means.

[Mini-course]: Lectures on Capacities | Professor Daniel Spector, National Taiwan Normal University
Zoom registration: https://oist.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJErce-tpj0jGNN5TM3gwMnRnGHaY5lNZ5Qk#/registration
Lecture 1 Tuesday, June 20 10 am Title: Riemann and Lebesgue Integration Abstract: The Riemann integral is perfectly suited for consideration of volume, surface area, arc length, and integration of functions in classical analysis - when the sets in question are smooth and the functions in question continuous. In this talk, we introduce these ideas and explain the progression from Riemann integration to Lebesgue integration, emphasizing in particular the powerful tools one obtains from this construction. Lecture 2 Wednesday, June 21st 10 am Title: Capacitary Integration Abstract: The Lebesgue integral provides one with a satisfactory tool for many purposes in mathematical analysis. Yet in the modeling of natural phenomena, with the introduction of partial differential equations, integrals which are not Lebesgue integral makes a prominent appearance - capacitary integrals. In this talk we discuss this motivation for capacitary integration, with examples, explain the differences with Lebesgue integration, and show the usefulness of these non-standard objects. Lecture 3 Thursday, June 22nd 10 am Title: Capacitary Sobolev Inequalities and Applications Abstract: The study of capacities and Capacitary Sobolev Inequalities is now more than half a century old, and yet there are still a number of open research questions to investigate concerning them. In this talk we discuss in more detail Capacitary Sobolev inequalities with an emphasis on a subject with the most recent activity - Capacitary Sobolev Inequalities around L1. Open problems will be mentioned.Zoom link: TBA
