Stochastic Population Dynamics in Discrete Time
Dr. Alexandru Hening, University of Texas A&M
Abstract: I will present a general theory for coexistence and extinction of ecological communities that are influenced by stochastic temporal environmental fluctuations. The results apply to discrete time…
Ubiquitination pathways in bacterial immunity
Dr. Kevin Corbett, UC San Diego
Abstract: In the past decade, bacteria have been found to possess over 100 distinct immune pathways that protect them against viral infection. Many of these antiviral immune pathways represent ancient versions…
Time and temperature matter in plant thermotolerance
Dr. Nick Kaplinsky, Swarthmore College
Abstract: Plant responses to heat are finely tuned with even one degree differences affecting the kinetics of induced heat shock responses. Using a genetic approach, we identified a role for intron retention in…
The Panorama: Proteins, Pathogens, and Science in Peril
Dr. Brandon Ugbunu, Yale University
In this seminar, I will discuss various projects in protein evolution and mathematical epidemiology that examine the forces the dictate disease dynamics. Lastly, I will discuss my work at the intersection between…

Virus-like intercellular communication in the nervous system
Dr. Jason D. Shepherd, University of Utah
Abstract: The immediate early gene Arc is critical for long-term associative memory consolidation in mammals. We discovered that the Arc gene evolved from an ancient retroviral element and has retained viral-…
Deciphering Neural Circuits for Vocal Communication: Insights from the Singing Mice.
Dr. Arkarup Banerjee, Cold Spring Harbor
Abstract: My long-standing interest is to understand how circuits of interacting neurons give rise to natural, adaptive behaviors. Using vocal communication behavior across rodent species, my lab at CSHL pursues two…
