SUMMARY:From Lab Bench to Public Impact: Why Graduate Students Need Science Communication Skills
DESCRIPTION:Raven Baxter\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Raven Baxter \n\n\n\nVisiting From: Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital \n\n\n\nTopic: From Lab Bench to Public Impact: Why Graduate Students Need Science Communication Skills \n\n\n\nHost: Joshua Ajowele \n\n\n\n\nWe got into biology because we love science. But here’s the thing: in today’s world\, being able to explain your research isn’t just nice to have\, it’s essential. Whether you’re trying to secure funding\, land your dream job\, or just help people understand why your work matters\, communication skills could make or break your career. Dr. Raven will share practical strategies for translating complex biological concepts into compelling stories that actually stick. She’ll cover why communication makes you a better researcher (yes\, really)\, how to build your communication skills without sacrificing lab time\, and concrete steps for sharing your science with different audiences. This isn’t about becoming a science influencer\, it’s about becoming the kind of scientist who can defend their work\, inspire others\, and make a real impact beyond the lab bench. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis seminar will be held in person and shared through Microsoft Teams. Parking is available in the McIver Street Parking Deck. \n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 298 444 191 649 8 \n\n\n\nPasscode: xP3sp7fw \n\n\n\nOur Seminars cover a broad range of topics from various fields of Biology and are open to the public!

SUMMARY:Exploring the role of trophic interactions in shaping parasite dynamics in African savannas
DESCRIPTION:Jason Donaldson\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Jason Donaldson \n\n\n\nVisiting From: Duke University \n\n\n\nTopic: Exploring the role of trophic interactions in shaping parasite dynamics in African savannas \n\n\n\nHost: Kevin Wilcox \n\n\n\n\nFor generalist parasites\, trophic interactions among species represent important transmission opportunities. The frequency and timing of these opportunities can often determine parasite spread within multihost communities. Exploring the ecology of trophic interactions is therefore and important step towards understanding parasite transmission in complex systems. African savanna ecosystems contain diverse mammalian grazer assemblages that host generalist parasites. In addition\, they have the added complexity of regularly burning\, with fire and grazers both requiring grass for fuel/food. This results in trophic interactions among grazer species that can be facilitatory or competitive and that are modified by fire. Grazer-grazer and fire-grazer interactions can shape local vegetation structure and dictate where in the landscape grazers spend time and how regularly they interact with other animals. Because parasite transmission is impacted by host density and habitat structure\, these trophic interactions should have major implications for parasite dynamics. In this seminar\, I present a series of case studies that explore how interactions between grazers and fire influence parasite transmission in African savannas. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis seminar will be held in person and shared through Microsoft Teams.

SUMMARY:Breathing matters! The sites\, cells\, and ion channels that underlie respiration
DESCRIPTION:Christopher Del Negro\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Del Negro \n\n\n\nVisiting From: William & Mary \n\n\n\nTopic: Breathing matters! The sites\, cells\, and ion channels that underlie respiration \n\n\n\nHost: Carlos Aparecido da Silva Junior \n\n\n\n\nBreathing behavior is important and interesting. Breathing supports us physiologically\, and its control and modulation underlie important cultural practices like singing\, athletic performance\, and mind-body practices (e.g.\, meditation). Breathing begins in the brain with an underlying neural rhythm and motor output pattern. Respiratory rhythm emanates from a brainstem site called the preBötzinger complex (preBötC) whose core microcircuit consists of Dbx1-derived excitatory interneurons. In those core Dbx1 neurons\, the rhythmogenic mechanism depends on excitatory synaptic interactions\, whose collective activity creates inhale-related burst output via mixed cationic TRPM4 ion channels. There are important roles for sodium channels of the SCN8A isoform\, which influence development and control of excitability. In addition to helping us understand normal function\, our knowledge of the preBötC and its constituent Dbx1-derived core neurons can explain the pathology of opioid drug depression of breathing and other dysfunctions of breathing. Neuroscience seeks to explain behaviors (pathologies) based on elemental building blocks of the nervous system: with breathing we are almost there.    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis seminar will be held in person and shared through Microsoft Teams.

SUMMARY:The tales teeth tell: Using dental histology to explore vertebrate life histories
DESCRIPTION:Anne Marie Sohler-Snoddy\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Anne Marie Sohler-Snoddy \n\n\n\nVisiting From: University of North Carolina Greensboro \n\n\n\nTopic: The tales teeth tell: Using dental histology to explore vertebrate life histories \n\n\n\nHost: Malcolm Schug \n\n\n\n\nThe formation of dental tissues follows a rhythmic developmental chronology\, and\, unlike bone and soft tissues\, in humans and many other mammals they do not remodel during life. A wealth of information about an individual’s life-course from gestation to the completion of tooth development can be unlocked through dental histology\, including survived episodes of physiological stress and periods of nutritional deficiency. This seminar will provide an introduction to dental histology and highlight some of its applications for understanding stress and resilience in vertebrate populations\, past and present. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis seminar will be held in person and shared through Microsoft Teams.

SUMMARY:Trait data resources for understanding mammalian response to changing environments
DESCRIPTION:Bryan S. McLean\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Bryan S. McLean \n\n\n\nVisiting From: University of North Carolina Greensboro \n\n\n\nTopic: Trait data resources for understanding mammalian response to changing environments \n\n\n\nHost: Malcolm Schug \n\n\n\n\nMonitoring life on a changing planet requires open and continuously updated biodiversity data and a workforce capable of leveraging these for trend analysis and prediction. But\, which data? And what kind of workforce training? This talk will discuss my lab’s use of phenotypic traits as windows into mammalian growth\, survival\, and reproduction\, and our field- and museum-based approach to answering trait-based questions. First\, I will present work on energetically expensive traits that are seasonally plastic in small mammals\, including body size\, brain size\, and gastrointestinal size and form. Developing new trait proxies and deploying them in local ecosystems has provided exciting insights in small mammal biology in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. Second\, I will discuss the limited landscape of open trait data for mammals globally and highlight my leadership of a consortium of North American mammal collections in digitizing specimen-level traits. Liberating historical trait data is massively scaling up our understanding of life history trade-offs and response to change across North America. Finally\, I will discuss the overarching importance of the UNCG Biodiversity Collections for this work and how combining fieldwork and specimen-based research is introducing a new generation of STEM students at UNCG to ecological and evolutionary concepts through data-rich biodiversity science. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis Seminar will be held in person and shared on Microsoft Teams.

DESCRIPTION:Akira Terui\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Akira Terui \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVisiting From: University of North Carolina Greensboro \n\n\n\nTopic: Merging theory and data to disentangle freshwater biodiversity \n\n\n\nHost: Malcolm Schug \n\n\n\n\nUnderstanding ecological systems requires both theoretical modeling and field-based observation. Theory provides predictive frameworks for how ecosystems might respond to environmental gradients under specific scenarios\, while field data are essential for testing and refining these predictions\, grounding them in biological reality. Although theory and empirical observation are often pursued separately\, their integration offers a powerful approach to addressing key ecological questions. In this talk\, I will present case studies that illustrate the strength of this combined methodology. \n\n\n\n\nThis seminar will be held in person and shared through Microsoft Teams. Parking is available in the McIver Street Parking Deck. \n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 236 416 958 703 7 \n\n\n\nPasscode: h6nT6rJ6 \n\n\n\nOur Seminars cover a broad range of topics from various fields of Biology and are open to the public!
