SUMMARY:MAPPING THE BRAIN –  With 100 Billion Cells\, Is This an Impossible Task?
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Institute for Quantitative & Computational Biosciences invites you to a special virtual event: “MAPPING THE BRAIN With 100 Billion Cells\, Is This an Impossible Task?” \nOur brains process information to navigate rush-hour traffic\, learn to compete on Jeopardy\, and imagine unknowns in art and science. These amazing capabilities depend on a network involving tens of thousands of different types of neurons with specialized functions. A major bottleneck to better understanding brain functions is that we still do not have a brain map showing what types of cells occupy different locations in the brain and how they are all connected to each other. Though an estimated 100 billion cells exist in the brain\, these presenters are undaunted:  \nRoy Wollman\, Ph.D.  \nProfessor\, UCLA Integrative Biology & Physiology and Chemistry & Biochemistry \n  \nJingyi Jessica Li\, Ph.D.  \nProfessor\, UCLA Statistics\, Biostatistics\, Computational Medicine and Human Genetics \n  \nHong-Wei Dong\, Ph.D.  \nProfessor\, UCLA Neurobiology \nDirector\, UCLA Brain Research & Artificial Intelligence Nexus (B.R.A.I.N.) \n  \nIntroductory remarks by Alexander Hoffmann\, Ph.D.\, Director\, Institute for Quantitative & Computational Biosciences and Thomas M. Asher Professor of Microbiology\, UCLA Microbiology\, Immunology & Molecular Genetics \nFollowing presentations and discussions\, attendees will be invited to ask questions of the speakers during a moderated Q&A.

He received a BA in Anthropology (SUNY Stony Brook)\, an MS in Anthropology (Kent State University)\, a Ph.D. in Behavioral Neuroscience (SUNY Binghamton)\, and had 2 years of postdoctoral training (Tufts University). Dr. Blaisdell studies behavioral neuroscience and ancestral health. He co-founded the Ancestral Health Society and is Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Evolution and Health. \nPaula Daniels is Co-founder\, Chief of What’s Next\, and Founding Chair of the Center for Good Food Purchasing. She is a lawyer\, and has held a number of senior executive positions in government on water policy in California and Los Angeles. She served as Senior Advisor on Food Policy to Mayor Villaraigosa of Los Angeles and taught food and water policy at UCLA for several years. She is an Ashoka Fellow\, and a Stanton Fellow of the Durfee Foundation. \nJorge Gaviria is the founder of Masienda\, a supplier of high-quality masa and masa products\, and the company at the center of the heirloom masa movement in the US. Jorge trained at top restaurants\, including Maialino and Blue Hill at Stone Barns\, before founding his company in 2014. He has been recognized by top international press outlets for his work and was awarded Forbes 30 Under 30 for food and wine in 2017. He lives in Los Angeles. His passion is palpable in Masa\, where he shares his research and expertise\, including the knowledge he’s gained successfully working through tens of thousands of questions from home cooks – inquiries that cover everything from the best equipment to how to prevent a tortilla from falling apart during reheating. \nPaige Stanley\, PhD\, is an interdisciplinary scientist working to understand how grazing management can sequester carbon (C) in soils to help mitigate climate change and build more resilient rangeland ecosystems. With a B.S. in Biology and Economics (Georgia College)\, M.S. in Animal Science (Michigan State University)\, and PhD in Environmental Science (University of California\, Berkeley)\, she draws on a wide range of disciplines including soil biogeochemistry\, grazing and rangeland ecology\, agroecology\, rancher sociology\, and political ecology to approach research questions holistically. She is particularly interested in the use of “regenerative grazing” (or adaptive multi-paddock grazing) by ranchers on rangelands\, and prioritizes on-ranch soil science work rather than highly controlled grazing experiments to ensure that her research captures soil C changes on real-life ranches\, including from adaptive grazing management on large scales and long timeframes. Core to Paige’s work is centering ranchers throughout the research process\, ensuring that research contributes to solving their on-the-ground challenges. To greatly improve real-world applicability\, she incorporates social science methods to understand rancher mental models\, including drivers and barriers of adoption for regenerative grazing\, and works with a goal of creating science-informed policy for working rangelands. \nChristian Stayner is a founding partner of Stayner Architects\, a Los Angeles-based design practice that provides comprehensive architectural services across a broad range of scales and programs. He received his Masters in Architecture from the Harvard Graduate School of Design and his B.A. in Architecture and Human Rights Theory from Harvard College and the experimental liberal arts institution\, Deep Springs College. Operating from its studio in Echo Park\, Stayner Architects is a LGBTQ-led practice engaging exclusively with projects by non-profit public-benefit organizations such as schools\, arts and culture organizations\, and social service providers. They collaborate with entities who share a commitment to non-extractive business models. Beyond their architectural portfolio\, Stayner Architects expresses ecological impact through self-directed missions like Tools & Utensils\, an online resource for educational\, cultural\, and philanthropic institutions looking to advance the future of food on their campuses.

SUMMARY:EVENT: Why Historically Excluded STEM (Educational) Researchers Can Help Save the Planet! (Free Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:CSU COAST and the UCLA Center for Diverse Leadership in Science are pleased to host a webinar\, ‘Why Historically Excluded STEM (Educational) Researchers Can Help Save the Planet!’ featuring Dr. Ebony McGee on May 4\, 2022\, from 11: 00 am-12:30 pm. \nDr. Ebony McGee is a professor of diversity and STEM education at Vanderbilt University’s Peabody College. She investigates what it means to be racially marginalized while minoritized in the context of learning and achieving in STEM higher education and in the STEM professions. She studies the racialized structures and institutional barriers that adversely affect the education and career trajectories of underrepresented groups of color\, particularly focusing on STEM entrepreneurship. This involves exploring the social\, material\, and health costs of academic achievement and problematizing traditional forms of success in higher education\, with an unapologetic focus on Black folx in\nthese places and spaces. \nDr. McGee has a NSF CAREER award to investigate how marginalization undercuts success in STEM through psychological stress\, interrupted STEM career trajectories\, impostor phenomenon\, and other debilitating race-related trauma for Asian\, Black\, Indigenous\, and Latinx doctoral students. With funding from eleven NSF grants\, she cofounded and directs the Explorations in Diversifying Engineering Faculty Initiative (EDEFI\, pronounced “edify”). She also cofounded the Institute in Critical Quantitative and Mixed Methodologies Training for Underrepresented Scholars (ICQCM)\, which aims to be a go-to resource for the development of quantitative and mixed-methods skillsets that challenge simplistic quantifications of race and marginalization. \nREGISTER HERE: https://csumb.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_BpIfScqGSZyfYrmGahRrlw
