Today’s Ecology and Evolution Seminar: Brian Gaylord

Forwarding this:

Dear Colleagues,

A friendly reminder that our first seminar speaker is our own Brian Gaylord from Bodega Marine Lab and the Department of Evolution and Ecology. This talk will be at 4:10pm today in Storer 1322 and is entitled "Marine ecomechanics: Exploring the biology of ocean acidification, intertidal thermal stress, and near shore turbulence." As the title suggests and as many of you know, Brian does really cool work at the interface of biomechanics and marine ecology. In addition to hearing his talk, you can learn more about his work by visiting his website

Chris Wilmers: #ucdavis Ecology and Evoluition seminar 1/14

Got this via email:

Chris Wilmers from UCSC (http://wildlife.ucsc.edu/) will be our guest speaker at the Ecology and Evolution seminar on Jan 14th. Chris works on questions related to global change, habitat alternation, disease ecology and conservation, mostly in big charismatic cats. He combines aspects from movement ecology, animal behavior and population dynamics and has a high research profile. His talk will be on “Large carnivore energetics in a landscape of fear” and he will be on campus for Thursday the 15th, perhaps staying through Friday the 16th. If you would like to meet with him please send me an email will possible times.

Department of Computer Science Colloquium

System design and data provenance in prospective biospecimen collection and management
Nicholas Anderson
Director of Informatics Research, UCDMC

WHEN:Thu Dec 12, 2013 15:10, 50 minutes

Access to high quality biospecimens collected from patients requires interaction with a range of clinical and operational systems and roles. The NWBiotrust system implements a modular architecture that encapsulates requirements for security and data use, and tracks the lifecycle of individual patient-acquired biospecimens from collection through processing, clinical annotation and distribution. This system is built to maintain both module and overall workflow auditability of all stages of an implemented study collection protocol. I will discuss the design requirements for this system, and the challenges involved in implementing systems which cross institutional legal privacy boundaries.
