SUMMARY:MBL Friday Evening Lecture Series: "Thorny Questions: Citrus Development and Disease" - Vivian Irish\, Yale University
DESCRIPTION:Because plants are sessile and can’t escape from predators\, many plant species have evolved exquisite defensive systems\, ranging from chemical defenses to physical deterrents. Thorns\, prickles\, and spines all act as weapons against herbivores\, but each arises from a distinct developmental origin. Unlike prickles or spines\, thorns arise from axillary shoot apical meristems that proliferate for a time and then terminally differentiate into a sharp hard tip. Like other meristems\, thorn meristems contain stem cells but\, in the case of thorns\, these stem cells undergo a programmed cessation of proliferative activity. As such\, thorns represent a fascinating variation on how stem cells are regulated. Since most citrus species have thorns\, we have focused our attention on this genus. We have characterized a gene network necessary for thorn development\, and by disrupting this pathway\, we can generate plants that have many more branches and so alter plant architecture. Not only has this work illuminated some of the molecular mechanisms controlling thorn development\, but the methods we have developed have allowed us to tackle some of the challenges facing citrus agriculture today. \nVivian Irish is the Eaton Professor of Molecular\, Cellular and Developmental Biology\, and Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, at Yale University. As a graduate student at Harvard University\, she focused on characterizing the developmental genetic mechanisms specifying dorsal-ventral polarity in Drosophila. She continued to pursue these interests in patterning processes as a Jane Coffin Childs postdoctoral fellow at the University of Cambridge. As a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellow at Yale University\, she turned her attention to exploring the specification of floral organ types. Now a faculty member at Yale\, her research centers on understanding mechanisms controlling flower development using a variety of molecular\, biochemical\, and genetic approaches. She has also long been interested in the evolution of developmental mechanisms with a specific focus on the diversification of gene regulatory networks controlling flower development and stem cell activity. She is also interested in the biotechnological applications of her work to crop production and agriculture. Irish has held several administrative roles at Yale\, including Chair of the Department of Molecular\, Cellular\, and Developmental Biology\, and Director of Undergraduate Studies in Biology. She is an elected member of the Connecticut Society of Science and Engineering. Irish is also a past-president of the Society for Developmental Biology and was a visiting professor at the École Normale Supérieure\, Lyon\, France.

SUMMARY:MBL Friday Evening Lecture Series: “Blindspots to Inclusion in Environmental and Ocean Sciences” - Karlisa Callwood
DESCRIPTION:Inclusivity is not easy\, especially in spaces\, like environmental and ocean sciences\, where people of color have traditionally been excluded. Yet\, despite high interest in these fields from underrepresented groups\, particularly Black and/or African American communities\, many environmental and ocean science programs and organizations struggle with diversifying their students\, staff\, and/or researchers. Additionally\, in attempts to be diverse\, they tend to focus more on filling quotas\, instead of building equity and inclusion by being welcoming\, learning to recognize their own biases\, developing cultural awareness and/or competencies\, or acknowledging\, and addressing\, the white supremacy culture that is pervasive throughout our institutions. It is up to all of us to create inclusion\, but some have more work than others. This talk will explore some important lessons and considerations for creating more welcoming environmental and ocean science spaces\, discuss why “white supremacy culture” is not a dirty word and exploring patterns you should be looking for\, and share strategies for being authentic in this work and keeping yourself and your organizations accountable. \nKarlisa Callwood is a marine scientist\, educator\, and science communicator who focuses on interdisciplinary approaches to evaluating fisheries and conservation management. With 20 years of experience developing and managing science education programming\, her work ranges from community engagement and partnership development to leading and implementing DEAI initiatives across several organizations. Her interests include establishing practices to enhance STEM education for underserved communities; understanding the socio-economic factors that influence fishers’ decisions and prompt behavior changes; enhancing strategies to better bridge the gaps that exist between scientists\, policymakers\, and the public; and developing tools to facilitate DEAI transformations in cultural organizations. Callwood was also selected as a National Geographic Fellow for her work focused on understanding the role of subsistence fishing in building resilience in Bahamian communities during the pandemic. She currently serves as a lecturer for the Abess Center for Ecosystem Science and Policy at the University of Miami\, as Director of the Community Conservation Education & Action Program at the Perry Institute for Marine Science\, and as an Equity Consultant for several organizations. Callwood holds a Ph.D. in Ecosystem Science and Policy from the University of Miami.

SUMMARY:MBL Friday Evening Lecture Series: “The Time to Be Born” - Louis Muglia\, Burroughs Wellcome Fund
DESCRIPTION:What determines the timing for birth? This question is one of the great unsolved mysteries in biology and has enormous health relevance to impact upon preterm birth\, the leading cause of death of infants and children under 5 years old. This presentation will describe the utility of human genetics and genomics to understand normal birth timing and how this mechanism malfunctions to lead to preterm birth. Evidence will be presented that genetics plays an important role in shaping maternal risk for preterm birth. Moreover\, recent genome wide association studies that identify novel loci robustly associated with the risk for prematurity will be described and what the ramification of these are for interventions. Finally\, the potential to exploit unique aspects of human evolution in shaping pregnancy characteristics using comparative genomics and animal models will be conveyed. \nLouis Muglia is President and CEO of the Burroughs Wellcome Fund\, an independent nonprofit research foundation accelerating discovery in the biomedical sciences. Previously\, he served as Vice Chair for Research\, Director of the Division of Human Genetics\, Co-Director of the Perinatal Institute\, and Professor of Pediatrics at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Muglia’s research focus has been to understand the molecular pathways determining when birth occurs to prevent preterm birth and better treat human preterm labor and delivery\, considering both genetic and environmental factors. Priorities now at Burroughs Wellcome Fund include climate change and human health\, promoting diversity and equity in science\, and science communication\, better partnering science and the arts. Among Muglia’s achievements are more than 300 publications and election to the American Society for Clinical Investigation and Association of American Physicians\, American Association for the Advancement of Science\, National Academy of Medicine\, and the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters. Muglia earned his Doctor of Medicine and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from the University of Chicago. He received a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:MBL Friday Evening Lecture Series:   "Single Genes and Brain Synchronization: An Ion Channel Portrait of Epilepsy" - Jeffrey Noebels\, Baylor College of Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the last century\, the ability of electroencephalography to visualize fluctuating microvolt potential differences between two points on the scalp has guided our understanding of the cortical landscape as neurologists correlated both hyperactive (epileptic) and silent (ischemic) areas of brain damage with clinical deficits in their patients\, mapping the functional topography of the neocortex\, literally\, “stroke by stroke”. Later\, axon hyperexcitability and leg-shaking in the Drosophila mutant shaker led the way to the first gene encoding an ion channel. This same neurogenetic strategy motivated a search for spontaneous mutants in mice with EEG hyperexcitability\, and the discovery that a single gene locus in the tottering mouse causes childhood absence epilepsy\, establishing that common human epilepsy syndromes could be inherited as a mendelian disorder. Today\, genes for 800 monogenic epilepsies\, of which over 100 involve mutations in voltage- and ligand-gated ion channel genes\, not only allow precision clinical diagnosis and gene-directed treatment of epilepsies but illuminate the molecular anatomy of neuronal microcircuitry “gene by gene”. Current research linking abnormal cortical synchronization with ion channelopathy is providing remarkable insights into developmental brain plasticity and a powerful experimental framework to cure rare neurological disorders. Unexpectedly\, the approach bridges the pathophysiology of previously unrelated conditions\, including cardiac arrhythmias and sudden unexpected death\, Alzheimer’s disease\, and growth of malignant brain tumors. \nJeffrey Noebels is Cullen Chair in Neurogenetics and Professor of Neurology\, Neuroscience\, and Molecular and Human Genetics\, and founding director of the Blue Bird Circle Developmental Neurogenetics Laboratory at Baylor College of Medicine. His major research focus is to identify gene mechanisms of cortical network synchronization and molecular targets for the treatment of epilepsy and its comorbidities. His pioneering discovery of the first single gene mouse model for childhood epilepsy in 1979 transformed the experimental approach to this disease. Noebels graduated from Reed College and received his Ph.D. in Neuroscience at Stanford\, postdoctoral training in Neuropathology at Harvard\, M.D. at Yale\, and neurology residency training at Massachusetts General Hospital. He was a Basil O’Connor and Klingenstein Fellow\, Pew Scholar\, and Javits Awardee. He is a past President of the American Epilepsy Society\, a current ILAE Ambassador and AAAS Fellow\, and a proud former Grass Foundation Trustee.

SUMMARY:MBL Friday Evening Lecture Series: "The Molecular Anatomy of Animal Body Plans" - Chris Lowe\, Hopkins Marine Station\, Standford University
DESCRIPTION:Our understanding of major events in animal evolution have largely been based on comparative anatomy of both living and fossil taxa. The large morphological disparity between living taxa\, and an often-imperfect fossil record\, have made reconstructing early events in origins of animal phyla challenging. A growing body of work from developmental biology reveals that bilateral animals share a very conserved set of gene regulatory networks that define the major organizational axes during early development: the genes in these networks are expressed in very similar spatial and temporal patterns across animals with fundamental differences in their body plan organization. This “molecular anatomy” is more conserved than the anatomies that it regulates and provides a novel set of data to test outstanding zoological puzzles. Lowe will discuss his lab’s work in hemichordates and echinoderms and how this has helped to give insights into early brain evolution and a broader perspective on animal body plan evolution. \nChris Lowe moved to the USA from the UK following a BSc in Biology from the University of Sussex. He received his Ph.D. from SUNY Stony Brook in Ecology and Evolution on echinoderm evolution and development in Greg Wray’s lab. He moved to University of California Berkeley as a Miller Fellow and worked in Mike Levine’s lab then with John Gerhart to develop hemichordates as a new developmental model species\, which is when he first started working at the MBL. His first independent academic position was at the University of Chicago in the Department of Organismal Biology and Anatomy. He then moved to Stanford University based at Hopkins Marine Station where his lab works on body plan evolution.

SUMMARY:MBL Friday Evening Lecture Series: “Changing the Complexion of the Life Sciences” - Kenneth Turner
DESCRIPTION:Lecture Abstract:\nThe life sciences is the sector ready for the moment we’re in. The life sciences remain a major economic and workforce driver for Massachusetts. But until recently\, you’d be hard pressed for people to recognize names like Moderna\, ThermoFisher\, or the role an MBI plays in Worcester or LabCentral in Cambridge. The COVID-19 vaccine has literally and figuratively given our society a shot in the arm about the impact of the life sciences. Yet\, we have companies across all sectors experiencing a crisis in finding talent. The future of work and demographic shifts adds significant layers of opportunities and challenges to this. The life sciences is positioned to meet these converging forces perfectly. Our key priority must be to meet the clarion call to continue to engage young women and men of color early on in STEM and the opportunities it can offer\, to capture their interest and curiosity. Then supporting them through middle school\, high school\, and college\, and preparing them for a career that they deserve opportunity in. For Turner\, it comes down to role models. People need to envision themselves in any job or career\, STEM or otherwise. Young people of color need to see scientists\, engineers\, chemists\, and data scientists who look like them. This requires a paradigm shift and thinking differently and acting boldly. Turner will discuss his background in service to our nation and his success in the private and public sectors. He will also provide an overview on how we can take the current state of play and change the complexion of the life sciences—the critical component of Massachusetts remaining the global leader in this space. \nKenneth Turner is President and CEO of the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center (MLSC)\, an economic development and investment agency dedicated to supporting the growth and development of the life sciences in Massachusetts. He directs and oversees the center’s operations\, investment strategy\, programs\, and partnerships. Prior to joining the MLSC\, Turner served as Director of Diversity & Inclusion/Compliance with Massport. He oversaw and managed the Authority’s multiple diversity programs\, including business and supplier diversity\, workforce diversity\, and airport concessions\, as well as all compliance initiatives associated with Massport’s Disadvantaged/Minority/Women Business Enterprise programs. Previously\, Turner served as Deputy Secretary for Administration & Finance for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Veterans’ Services. He has over 20 years of general management and executive experience in various Fortune 100 media and package goods companies including having served as Senior Vice President of Emerging Markets at AOL Time Warner as well as having held various marketing positions at Hallmark Cards and Hasbro Toys. A retired U.S. Navy Captain and submarine nuclear weapons system officer with 26-years of service\, Turner holds a B.S. degree from Southern University and A&M College\, Baton Rouge\, LA.

SUMMARY:MBL Falmouth Forum: “Speaking Science to Power: My Eight Years in the Obama White House” - John Holdren
DESCRIPTION:The President’s Science Advisor is the chief scientist of the U.S. government—a position that few people other than government officials and science-policy wonks have ever heard of. Why does the President of the United States need a science expert close at hand in the White House? What does the Science Advisor actually do on a typical day? (Actually\, few days are typical in the White House.) \nIn this lecture\, John Holdren\, former Science Advisor and Senate-confirmed Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy under President Obama will discuss his experience in the White House—how he got the job\, what Obama was like\, as a person and a boss\, the main achievements of the Obama administration applying science and technology to the public interest\, and where they failed. Holdren will also discuss what challenges and opportunities President Biden’s Science Advisor—Arthi Prabhakar\, the first woman and first Asian-American to hold the job—faces. \nJohn P. Holdren is the Teresa and John Heinz Research Professor of Environmental Policy at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and Co-Director of the Science\, Technology\, and Public Policy Program in the School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. He is also Senior Advisor to the President at the Woodwell Climate Research Center in Falmouth. From January 2009 until January 2017\, he was President Obama’s Science Advisor and Senate-confirmed Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. His responsibilities in those roles included advising the President on all science and technology issues bearing on the national agenda; coordinating R&D strategy & budgets across the Executive Branch; and leading the Administration’s efforts on science and technology cooperation with other countries. Trained at MIT and Stanford in aerospace engineering and fusion-energy science\, Holdren spent most of his career focused on energy technology and policy\, environmental science and policy\, and nuclear nonproliferation and arms control. In 1995 he gave the Nobel Peace Prize acceptance lecture on behalf of the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs\, an international organization of scientists and public figures in which he served in leadership positions from 1982 to 1997. He and his wife Cheryl live in Falmouth.

SUMMARY:WHFF presents EXPOSING MUYBRIDGE
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, December 10th at 7 pm at Redfield Auditorium\, 45 Water Street Woods Hole\, the Woods Hole Film Festival presents a screening of the feature documentary film EXPOSING MUYBRIDGE by Mark Shaffer. \nABOUT THE FILM\nThe story of trailblazing 19th-century photographer Eadweard Muybridge\, who changed the world with his camera. Muybridge set the course for the development of cinema when he became the first photographer to capture something moving faster than the human eye can see–Leland Stanford’s galloping horses. He also produced a sprawling and spectacular landscape catalog\, ranging from Alaska to Central America\, Utah to California. Artful\, resilient\, selfish\, naive\, eccentric\, deceitful–Muybridge was a complicated\, imperfect man and his story drips with ambition and success\, loss and betrayal\, near death experiences and even murder. More than a century after his death\, Muybridge’s photographs have never ceased to seduce cutting-edge artists\, scientists\, innovators\, and general viewers alike. 88 minutes\, 2021. \nFor information call 508-495-3456

SUMMARY:MBL Falmouth Forum: “The Changing Face of Whale Trauma: What We Know and Have to Do” - Michael Moore
DESCRIPTION:Large whales have suffered at the hand of man for millennia: by intent with harpoons\, and recently by mistake through vessel collisions\, and fishing gear entanglements. This has affected both the status of populations\, and the welfare of individuals. The latter most especially\, where larger species\, such as North Atlantic right whales\, have the power to swim off with entangling gear\, whose deleterious effects can take months to be lethal. In this talk Moore will discuss how he\, as a veterinarian and a scientist\, and his colleagues have used diagnostics\, energetics\, therapeutics\, and photogrammetric health assessment to gain this understanding. He will also lay out the steps they are taking\, collaboratively with the fishing industry\, to enable both the industry and the animals to prosper. \nMichael J. Moore is a veterinary scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. He has studied the effects of trauma from the shipping and fishing industries on North Atlantic right whale (NARW) survival and welfare. He is currently assessing NARW health using aerial photogrammetry and working with a group of stakeholders to establish ‘On-Demand’ fishing systems as a viable tool to remove entangling line from the water column.

SUMMARY:MBL Falmouth Forum: “Dare to be Naive” - Greg Watson\,  Director of Policy and Systems Design\, Schumacher Center for a New Economics
DESCRIPTION:Greg Watson and his family moved to Cape Cod in 1980 when he was hired as education director at the New Alchemy Institute. New Alchemy was a revolutionary “think-do tank” located on 12 acres in Falmouth\, MA that became world renowned for its systems approach to the development environmentally sound and socially just approaches to meeting basic human needs.  Watson’s lecture will focus on the lessons he learned during his four years there and how he has applied New Alchemy’s problem-solving approach throughout his professional career in the areas of agriculture\, renewable energy\, community organizing\, and new economics. He will conclude with a discussion of his current work on an approach to addressing the climate crisis inspired by Buckminster Fuller – considered by many to be the “father of whole systems thinking.” \nGreg Watson is Director of Policy and Systems Design at the Schumacher Center for a New Economics. His work focuses on community food systems and an initiative to improve global systems literacy informed by a reimagining of Bucky Fuller’s World Game Workshop. Watson has spent nearly 50 years studying systems thinking as inspired by Buckminster Fuller and to apply that understanding to achieve a just and sustainable world. He has served on the board of the Buckminster Fuller Institute and as a juror for the Buckminster Fuller Challenge. In 1978 he organized a network of urban farmers’ markets in the Greater Boston Metropolitan Area. He served as Commissioner of Agriculture in Massachusetts from 1990 to 1993 and again from 2012 to 2014 when he launched a statewide urban agriculture grants program. \nWatson gained hands-on experience in organic farming\, aquaculture\, wind-energy technology\, and passive solar design at the New Alchemy Institute on Cape Cod\, first as Education Director and later as Executive Director. There he led the effort to create the Cape & Islands Self Reliance energy cooperative.  He served four years as Executive Director of the Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative\, a multicultural grassroots organizing and planning organization where he initiated one of the nation’s first urban agriculture projects. Watson was the first Executive Director of the Massachusetts Renewable Energy Trust and was part of the team that landed the National Wind Technology Testing Center in Massachusetts.  He served on President-elect Barack Obama’s U.S. Department of Energy transition team in 2008.  In 2015 he founded the Cuba-U.S. Agroecology Network which links small farmers and sustainable farm organizations in both countries to share information and provide mutual support.
