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:   "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 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: “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.
