SUMMARY:Advanced Optical Imaging in Neuroscience
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the second UMaine Medicine Fall 2020 Seminar. This seminar series will take place every Friday\, 3:00 – 4:00 pm from September 25 through November 13. \nSpeaker: Wilson Adams\, Ph.D. Candidate\, NDSEG Fellow at Vanderbilt University \nAbstract: With an increased interest in studying the molecular and functional workings of the brain – now more than ever – there is a need for tools to study the brain at the physical limits of observation. With help from the BRAIN initiative\, there are now more tools than ever in the neuroscientist’s toolbox. Optical imaging and neuromodulation offer important advantages to studying the brain in tandem with more conventional approaches. Combined with the right molecular biology tools\, the possibilities for targeting specific cell type\, and sensing neuromodulatory molecules\,  imaging at the physical limits of speed and spatial resolution are more accessible than ever. In this talk\, I will give an overview of some of the latest developments in optical imaging and neuromodulation techniques for neuroscience research – with a focus on multiphoton based approaches. I will discuss the exciting advancements on the horizon\, where effort is still needed\, and what we can do as engineers to better design tools for impact on fundamental and translational research. \nPlease register for this event on the Zoom registration page.

SUMMARY:Ecological and social drivers of the spread of vector-borne diseases
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the fourth UMaine Medicine Fall 2020 Seminar. This seminar series will take place every Friday\, 3:00 – 4:00 pm from September 25 through November 13. \nSpeaker:  Allison (Allie) Gardner\, PhD\, Assistant Professor in the School of Biology and Ecology and a cooperating faculty member in the Ecology and Environmental Sciences program. \nDr. Gardner is a medical entomologist.  Her research focuses on the ecology of infectious diseases of humans and wildlife that are transmitted by arthropod vectors\, such as mosquitoes or ticks.  She uses lab and field studies in conjunction with geographic\, quantitative\, and molecular tools to address questions related to 1) understanding the basic biology of arthropod vectors and the socio-environmental conditions that enhance disease transmission\, 2) developing effective\, sustainable vector management strategies that are grounded in ecological theory\, and 3) predicting future hotspots of transmission to facilitate targeted public health prevention and intervention efforts.  Current projects include studying the invasion of the blacklegged tick and Lyme disease in Maine\, investigating the ecology of a mosquito vector for Zika virus in the Caribbean\, and understanding the interactions between risk of exposure to vector-borne disease and economic interests (e.g.\, timber harvesting\, tourism) at local and international spatial scales.

SUMMARY:An Indigenous Micro - to Meta-Narrative: Microbes and Social Equity - Dr. Nicole Redvers
DESCRIPTION:About the speaker: Dr. Nicole Redvers\, ND\, MPH\, is a member of the Deninu K’ue (pronounced “Deneh-noo-kweh”) First Nation tribe from northern Canada and is currently an assistant professor in the department of family & community medicine at the University of North Dakota’s School of Medicine & Health Sciences. She is co-founder and chair of the Arctic Indigenous Wellness Foundation based in the Canadian North which was awarded the $1 million-dollar 2017 Arctic Inspiration Prize for their work with the homeless and those most vulnerable. Dr. Redvers has been actively involved at the international level promoting the inclusion of Indigenous perspectives in planetary health\, and has numerous publications including the trade paperback book titled\, ‘The Science of the Sacred: Bridging Global Indigenous Medicine Systems and Modern Scientific Principles’. \n\nAbout the seminar: Indigenous Peoples have scientific narratives and traditions that span thousands of years rooted within concepts of relationship. The microbial microcosm itself is a lens of relationship that situates us as humans within our own communities and in the biome of the planet. How these relationships intersect and how we view them as an evolution of knowledge in theory and practice impacts how we view equity and its applications in the scientific process. This seminar will seek to bridge Indigenous knowledge traditions and scientific discourse with the intent of situating microbes and social equity within a larger relationship within research and practice. \nTo register for this event\, go to the registration link. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Extended Health - Dr. Gus Skorburg
DESCRIPTION:Microbes and Social Equity speaker series\, spring 2021 \nAbout the speaker: Dr. Joshua August (Gus) Skorburg is Assistant Professor of Philosophy\, Academic Co-Director of the Centre for Advancing Responsible and Ethical Artificial Intelligence (CARE-AI)\, and Faculty Affiliate at the One Health Institute at the University of Guelph in Ontario\, Canada. He is also Adjunct Professor in the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University. He received his PhD in Philosophy in 2017 from the University of Oregon. His research spans topics in applied ethics and moral psychology. \nhttps://www.uoguelph.ca/arts/people/joshua-august-gus-skorburg \nAbout the seminar: Dominant views about the nature of health and disease tend to assume the existence of a fixed\, stable\, individual organism as the bearer of health and disease states\, and as such\, the appropriate target of medical therapy and ethical concern. However\, recent developments in microbial biology\, neuroscience\, and social and personality psychology have produced a novel understanding of the individual and its fluid boundaries. Drawing on converging evidence from these disciplines\, I will argue that certain features of our biological and social environment can be so tightly integrated as to constitute a unit of care extending beyond the intuitive boundaries of skin and skull. Call this the Hypothesis of Extended Health (HEH). Using the example of obesity as a case study\, I show how HEH is well positioned to accommodate recent research on both the human microbiome and relationship partners. I conclude by suggesting that HEH helps us to break free from unhelpful dichotomous thinking about obesity – between individual behaviours (e.g.\, restraint\, diet\, exercise) or constraining socio-economic structures (e.g.\, food deserts\, advertising). \nThe event is free but registration is required on the registration link.

SUMMARY:Glucocorticoid-induced Developmental Programming: The Link Between Early Life Stress and Adult Disease Risk
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  James A. Coffman\, Ph.D.\, Associate Professor\, MDIBL.  Director\, Maine IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) \nHow much does your health\, your susceptibility to disease\, and your rate of aging depend on the environment in which you were raised? Or for that matter\, on the environments to which your parents or grandparents were exposed? Quite a lot it turns out. Over the past couple of decades epidemiological studies and research with animal models have revealed that chronic stress\, traumatic experiences\, or other toxic environmental exposures in early life can affect development in a way that impacts how the body responds to stressors later in life\, and which can be transmitted epigenetically to subsequent generations. Such “developmental programming” has been linked to increased risk of developing an array of inflammatory diseases\, behavioral problems\, and mental illness. The Coffman lab seeks to understand the developmental and epigenetic mechanisms underlying this correlation. Using zebrafish as a model organism\, they have discovered a stress-responsive genetic circuit that appears to be a critical regulator of the stress response. Elucidating how early life stressors interact with this circuit to compromise its function will provide information that can be used to design therapies for stress-induced disease. \nThe event is free but registration is required.  Please use this link to register.
