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

SUMMARY:Plant Stories Trapped in Tar: Paleobotany at the La Brea Tar Pits
DESCRIPTION:The La Brea Tar Pits in the heart of Los Angeles\, California are world famous for their preservation of Ice-Age mammals\, especially the iconic\, extinct megafauna such as saber-tooth cats\, dire wolves\, mammoths and mastodons. What is less known\, is that the unique asphaltic preservation of past life at La Brea includes much more than mammals\, but entire ecosystems of Los Angeles from the Late Pleistocene through the Holocene spanning the last ~57\,000 years. While much attention has been given to the fauna\, relatively little is known about plant life during this time. Fossil plants preserved at the La Brea Tar Pits include seeds\, wood\, leaves\, needles\, cones\, pollen and phytoliths. We will detail how these ancient floras reveal a rich history of climatic and environmental change in Los Angeles and Southern California over the last several millennia leading to the formation of our modern day ecosystems. \nJoin scientists Dr. Regan Dunn\, Assistant Curator at La Brea Tar Pits and Museum\, and Jessie George\, UCLA PhD Candidate\, to explore the ancient flora of Los Angeles and learn about the fascinating field of paleobotany. \n\nDr. Regan Dunn is an Assistant Curator at La Brea Tar Pits and Museum. She is a paleobotanist whose research seeks to understand the interplay between climate\, plants and animal evolution through time. She studies phytoliths\, pollen\, leaf fossils and wood to reconstruct ancient vegetation structure and composition. She has a PhD in Biology from the University of Washington\, a M.S. in Botany from the University of Wyoming\, and a B.S. in Biological Sciences from Colorado State University. She recently completed two postdoctoral fellowships\, one at the University of Wyoming and another at the Field Museum of Natural History. She has extensive field experience having worked in the Western U.S. (Wyoming\, Colorado\, Washington\, Oregon)\, and in Central and South America. She has worked for the National Park Service as a Geologist and has extensive work experience in museums including the Denver Museum of Nature & Science\, Thomas Condon Paleontology Center in Kimberly\, Oregon\, the Burke Museum of Nature and Culture in Seattle\, WA\, and the Field Museum in Chicago\, IL. Her work at La Brea Tar Pits focuses on understanding vegetation and vegetation change over the last 50\,000 years in the Los Angeles Basin. \n\nJessie George is a PhD candidate in the Department of Geography at UCLA. She has an MSc in Environmental Archaeology from the Institute of Archaeology at University College London where she studied ancient agriculture through preserved plant material from archaeological sites. Her current PhD research is on the fossil plants of the La Brea Tar Pits\, working to identify and radiocarbon date fossils in the collection to better understand how vegetation changed through time in the Los Angeles Basin in response to changing climates and fauna. Her research interests and work in biogeography and archaeology are focused on the interactions of climate\, plant life\, and society.\nSupport free educational programming at the Botanical Garden. Donations of any amount allow us to provide fascinating and free educational programs like this one. Become a Member today to support the Garden’s mission to promote botanical knowledge by curating collections that highlight biogeography\, conservation\, and natural history. The Garden seeks to inspire environmental and cultural appreciation of plants and their relationship to society through education\, research\, and public outreach. Our beautiful setting fosters health and tranquility for the community.

SUMMARY:A Special Fireside Chat with Nikole Hannah-Jones (DGSOM)
DESCRIPTION:About Nikole Hannah-Jones\nNikole Hannah-Jones covers racial injustice for The New York Times Magazine\, and has spent years chronicling the way official policy has created—and maintains—racial segregation in housing and schools. Her deeply personal reports on the Black experience in America offer a compelling case for greater equity. Hannah-Jones is the creator and lead writer of the New York Times’ major multimedia initiative\, “The 1619 Project.” \nNamed for the year the first enslaved Africans arrived in America\, the project features an ongoing series of essays and art on the relationship between slavery and everything from social infrastructure and segregation\, to music and sugar—all by Black American authors\, activists\, journalists\, and more. Hannah-Jones wrote the project’s introductory essay\, which ran under the powerful headline “Our Democracy’s Founding Ideals Were False When They Were Written. Black Americans Have Fought to Make Them True.” The essay earned Hannah-Jones her first Pulitzer Prize\, for commentary. Random House has also announced it will be adapting the project into a graphic novel and four publications for young readers\, while also releasing an extended version of the original publication\, including more essays\, fiction\, and poetry. \nWelcome Remarks and Moderation\nOpen of Show\n\n\n\nShawn Kang\nSenior Director of Human Resources Strategy\,\nUCLA Health Sciences \nWelcome Remarks\n\n\n\nKelsey Martin\, MD\, PhD\nDean\, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA\nGerald S.
