#UCDavis Ecology & Evolution Seminar 1/24: Dawn Sumner #Awesome
Forwarding this:
Dear Colleagues,
The Ecology and Evolution Seminar speaker this week will be our own Dawn Sumner from Geology. Her talk on Thursday January 24th is entitled
The Modern Ecology of Ice-Covered Lakes in Antarctica: A Journey Back to Precambrian Time
and takes place at 4:10pm in 1003 Giedt Hall.
Dawn is one of the principle scientists on Curiosity, NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory. You can read about this work on her blog at
http://dawnonmars.blogspot.com/
which links to some marvelous footage/photos of their Mars explorations.
Dawn has done also extensive work on the (nearly) other-wordly ecology of microbial communities in Antarctic lakes to "develop a predictive understanding of how microbial communities produce complex microbialite morphologies." You can find out more about this at

Today at #UCDavis: The True Cost of Oil talk by Garth Lenz
Forwarding this:
This is a final reminder about the awesome opportunity you have to see the talk by Garth Lenz TODAY, Tuesday, Jan 15th at 5:10pm.
Garth Lenz <
> on these issues and his work, and will be visiting UC Davis to share a slideshow of his photos and talk to us about this important environmental issue. It is a pertinent topic, as the country moves toward a final decision about the XL pipeline which would drive the expansion of the mining operations in the Tar Sands. And hearing this story from a world-renown photojournalist like Garth is truly a unique opportunity.His talk is being sponsored by the Society for Conservation Biology, Davis and the Geology Students. It is titled “The True Cost of Oil: Images of Beauty and Devastation”
Join us on TODAY, Jan 15th at 5pm in 2 Wellman Hall to see his presentation. Free admission to students and the public.
Please bring your own coffee cup if you can!

Seminar at #UCDavis 1/11: Dr. Markus Covert “Towards Whole-Cell Models of Health and Disease “
*****************************************************************
The Genome Center Biological Networks Seminars present:
Towards Whole-Cell Models of Health and Disease
Speaker: Markus Covert
Assistant Professor of Bioengineering, Stanford University
Date: Friday, January 11th, 2013, 11am – 12pm
Location: 1005 GBSF
Abstract:
Understanding how complex phenotypes arise from individual molecules and their interactions is a primary challenge in biology that computational approaches are poised to tackle. We report a whole-cell computational model of the life cycle of the human pathogen Mycoplasma genitalium that includes all of its molecular components and their interactions. An integrative approach to modeling that combines diverse mathematics enabled the simultaneous inclusion of fundamentally different cellular processes and experimental measurements. Our whole-cell model accounts for all annotated gene functions and was validated against a broad range of data. The model provides insights into many previously unobserved cellular behaviors, including in vivo rates of protein-DNA association and an inverse relationship between the durations of DNA replication initiation and replication. In addition, experimental analysis directed by model predictions identified previously undetected kinetic parameters and biological functions. We conclude that comprehensive whole-cell models can be used to facilitate biological discovery.
