Do you know what happens when you step inside a future shaped by climate change? In a collaboration with the UI Polymorphic Games Studio, Dilshani Sarathchandra and Kristin Haltinner will discuss a virtual reality (VR) experience that immerses individuals into potential future climate scenarios. This talk walks you through the project’s theoretical foundations, experimental design, and…
Faced with a lethal stress, microbial populations must either evolve genetic resistance or die, right? For Methylobacterium extorquens, lethal levels of the toxic metabolic intermediate formaldehyde can select for mutants beneficial in this environment, but we have also found that they can survive via epigenetic inheritance. This occurs at much higher rates and can be passed…
Aydin Mohseni, a mathematical philosopher at the University of California, Irvine, will be the featured speaker at the weekly CMCI Brown Bag Lunch on Monday, September 24. Talk title: “On the Emergence of Minority Disadvantage: Testing the Cultural Red King Hypothesis.” Abstract: The cultural red king effect predicts that differentials in group size may lead to…
Bring a lunch and come join the crew as Chenangnon Tovissode presents a mock job talk. His topic is “From Genes to Epidemics: Integrating Machine Learning and Mechanistic Models“. In this presentation, Chenangnon will explore two complementary approaches to investigating causal mechanisms in biological and social systems. The first part focuses on uncovering causal pathways from…
In this presentation, Lon Chubiz will explore the consequences of antagonistic interactions between microbes during assembly of microbial communities. Many experimental and theoretical studies on microbial communities focus on how interactions between microbes from diverse species shape their assembly. Often overlooked are interactions between members of the same species. These interactions are frequently highly competitive…
