Dr. Chipot will show how combination of importance-sampling schemes can be used profitably to map with unprecedented efficiency and without any loss of accuracy complex free-energy landscapes from whence physically meaningful transition pathways can be extracted.

David Rosenboom will present concrete examples from his more than five decades of pioneering work in propositional music illustrating how testable theoretical models in science and process-based what-if models in speculative arts can converge to mutual advantage in the new artscience.

In this talk, David Rosenboom will present concrete examples from his more than five decades of pioneering work in propositional music illustrating how testable theoretical models in science and process-based what-if models in speculative arts can converge to mutual advantage in the new artscience: musical forms that arise spontaneously and evolve, listening as...

Speaker: Sabre Kais, Professor, Department of Chemistry, Purdue University

Receive an overview of human subjects research from Jennifer Ford, an assistant director in the Office for the Protection of Research Subjects.

Information flow in the cortex is classically considered as feedforward-hierarchical computation. However, recent findings have started to reveal rather parallel and distributed processing. Dr. Kato will discuss his team's work studying parallel sensory pathways across the primary and higher auditory cortices in extracting complex sound features.

Hee Jung Chung, Associate Professor of Molecular and Integrative Physiology and Neuroscience at Illinois, will lecture on “The role of brain specific tyrosine phosphatase STEP in hippocampal excitability and seizures” at 4:00 pm in 2269 Beckman Institute and on Zoom October 5, 2022. One of our MBM trainees will give an introduction.

Learn about Calculating the Sensory Aesthetics of Black Liberation from Stacey Robinson, an associate professor of graphic design, in the School of Art & Design.

Dr. Aksimentiev will reveal several systems which will illustrate the applications of high-end all-atom, coarse-grained, and multi-resolution simulations to obtain information inaccessible to previous experimental approaches while providing a forward-looking perspective on modeling of an entire biological cell at all-atom resolution.

Curious about Marcel Proust? Prof. François Proulx (FRIT) and RBML curator Caroline Szylowicz will mark the 100th anniversary of his death with an exploration of his books, manuscripts and letters. Come share — or discover — favorite characters, passages, and anecdotes. Refreshments will be served.

Our distinguished guest Guy De Capdeville will present the Embrapa Research and Innovation Programs, their mission-oriented innovation principles with focus on the delivery of technology assets, some of the most recent innovative technologies released by Embrapa that have positively impacted the agricultural sector, and finally what is on the horizon looking towards 2030.

Join us for our Dish It Up/Lunch on Us Series at the Women's Resources Center every 2nd & 4th & 5th Monday at noon (12 p.m. CST), while listening to speakers, lecturers, and panelists explore a variety of topics at the intersection of gender and other social identities.

"Identifying active nuclear niche(s) and deciphering spatial positioning of chromatin around them." Belmont Lab

"Profilin enhances Cofilin induced actin dynamics’." Brieher Lab

Dr. Sulc will present a top-down coarse-grained model, oxDNA, which was specifically designed for simulations of DNA nanotechnology systems, and present examples where it has been used to help design and understand function of DNA, RNA and protein-DNA hybrid nanostructures and processes.

Jacki Rand (Associate Vice Chancellor for Native Affairs, American Indian Studies) in conversation with Mimi Thi Nguyen (Gender & Women's Studies), moderated by Jenny L. Davis (American Indian Studies, Anthropology)

Speaker: Graeme Smith, Associate Professor, Department of Physics, University of Colorado Boulder

Receive an overview of laboratory safety from Stephanie Hess, a director in the Division of Research Safety.

Brains can be modeled as functional networks, where interregional connections and their weights are estimated as a correlations. Dr. Betzel will present an approach for exactly decomposing these connections (edges) into their time-varying contributions. This approach yields framewise estimates of networks across time and can be used to estimate the novel construct of "edge

The liver is crucial for maintaining whole body energy balance. Dr. Moore's lab found FXR and PPARα also regulate processes that are not related to metabolic pathways but are central to liver energy balance. Dr. Moore's presentation will focus on the previously described roles of FXR and PPARα in control of autophagy and recent results on control of liver secretome.

“Ibn Arabi and his Commentators: The School of Philosophical Sufism"

This presentation provides a general overview of the “Propaganda of History” since the origination of public schools in the United States during the 1840s.

The Quantum Information Revolution is in full swing, and entanglement — the spooky nonclassical, nonlocal connection that can be shared by quantum particles — is the key ingredient. In this talk, Dr. Kwiat will discuss how to create (photon) entanglement, and several applications for secure communication and quantum-enhanced sensing.

To strengthen the Beckman community, Beckman Institute Director Nadya Mason invites you to join her and other members of administration leadership in the 2nd-floor tower room from 11 am-12 pm on Thursday, October 13, for a graduate student feedback session. Please bring your ideas as to how Beckman’s leadership can support you and your peers.
