SUMMARY:BME 280B Seminar: The evolution of structural variation across vertebrate genomes
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Peter Sudmant\, Assistant Professor of Integrative Biology\, University of California\, Berkeley \nDescription: Structural variants (SVs) contribute substantially to genetic variation and play vital roles in adaptation and disease. However\, SVs are poorly captured by short read sequencing and thus are understudied\, particularly in non-model organisms. Here\, taking advantage of recently generated haplotype-resolved genome assemblies from >600 vertebrate species\, we present the most comprehensive survey of the diversity of SVs and single nucleotide variants (SNVs) across the vertebrate tree of life to date. \nBio: Peter Sudmant is an Assistant Professor of Integrative Biology at the University of California Berkeley. Prior to joining UC Berkeley\, Dr Sudmant completed his PhD at the University of Washington in the Lab of Dr Evan Eichler as HHMI International Fellow. Dr Sudmant went on to complete a postdoc with Christopher Burge at MIT as a Genentech fellow of the Life Sciences Research Foundation. Dr Sudmant is a recipient of the American Foundation for Aging Research Junior Faculty Award and a Hellman Fellow. \nHosted by: Professor Russ Corbett-Detig\, BME Department

SUMMARY:Venezuela: Contradictions of Regime Change Without a Change of Regime\, A Discussion with Dr. Gabriel Hetland
DESCRIPTION:*UPDATE!* New date! Now on Thursday\, February 26th\, 12- 1:30pm at the Stevenson Event Center. \nFollowing the January 3 US attack and kidnapping of its president\, Nicolás Maduro\, Venezuela has been transformed into something approaching a protectorate of the US. In this bizarre regime change without a change of regime\, Maduro’s former vice president\, Delcy Rodriguez\, is allied -under explicitly coercive threats- with Donald Trump in his brazenly neocolonial plunder of Venezuela’s oil resources. This talk will explore the political and economic contradictions of this dangerous and unusual situation\, which poses grave risks to Venezuela\, Latin America and the world. \nGabriel Hetland is associate professor of Africana\, Latin American\, Caribbean\, and Latinx Studies at SUNY Albany and author of Democracy on the Ground: Local Politics in Latin America’s Left Turn.

SUMMARY:Ecology of Presence: Pathways to the Natural World
DESCRIPTION:Norris Center Art + Science Graduate Fellowship Exhibition \nEcology of Presence: Pathways to the Natural World brings together the work of ten graduate students supported by the Kenneth S. Norris Center for Natural History Art + Science Fellowship\, a program dedicated to creative research connecting art with the natural world. Across media – including sound\, moving image\, music\, performance\, installation\, comics\, social practice\, photography\, and storytelling – the artists in Ecology of Presence emphasize relationality and careful attention to place as essential to building relationships with environs. As accelerating environmental change and technological dependency threaten ways of belonging\, the works in this exhibition maintain a steadfast commitment to interdisciplinary approaches that propose kinship with the natural world. By coming together\, Art + Science Fellows artworks and social practices suggest ways of imagining human life in relation to the more-than-human world.

SUMMARY:How promotions actually happen (and why hard work alone isn’t enough)
DESCRIPTION:Most professionals are told a simple formula: work hard\, deliver results\, and your career will naturally advance. Yet many find that after years of strong performance\, progress slows—responsibilities grow without recognition\, and promotions go elsewhere. \nThe issue is rarely capability\, but a misunderstanding of how advancement really works. Each career stage has different expectations: the skills that earn a first role aren’t the same ones that move someone into management or leadership. As organizations grow more complex—and AI makes execution easier to replicate—doing your job well is no longer enough. Advancement depends on how your work connects to the broader mission\, how it’s perceived\, and whether you’re already operating at the next level. \nThis session offers an inside look at why capable people plateau—and why others accelerate. \nBring your thoughts and experiences. This is a discussion-based workshop—please come ready to engage. \nThis event is part of the Dean Conversations: Pathways to professional success series. \nClaim your seat!

He had practiced relentlessly and caromed across the northern California folk and bluegrass scene. He had gathered up some fellow musicians and formed a band. Now they had their name. Following the history of the Grateful Dead means tracking American cultural history through a period of radical reconsideration. The Dead played at the Acid Tests and the Human Be-In and Woodstock\, at the occupation of Columbia and the Bail Ball for People’s Park. They performed at the base of the Pyramids during a lunar eclipse\, at Madison Square Garden to defend the rainforests\, in San Francisco to sound the alarm over AIDS and at Huey Newton’s birthday party. For three decades\, the band explored the meaning and limits of freedom. The radical message of the Dead\, to reject the mainstream and build a bohemian community\, radiated across the world\, manifesting itself in art\, music\, business\, and politics. Here Beside the Rising Tide tells the story of those disparate shafts of light\, putting Garcia into a broader context while tracing his eventful life. Nearly a century after his birth\, Garcia’s influence stretches onward\, expressed in guitar licks and a gentle way of life\, one of excellence and gratitude\, chasing freedom\, living moment to moment\, guided by song-the gift of the Grateful Dead. \nGabi Moskowitz is the founder of BrokeAssGourmet.com\, an award-winning website about inexpensive cooking. She’s written five cookbooks\, and produced Freeform’s Young & Hungry\, a situation comedy based on her life and writing. She lives in Marin County\, California\, with her husband and daughters. \nJim Newton is a journalist\, teacher\, and author of Justice for All\, Eisenhower\, Worthy Fights\, and Man of Tomorrow. He was at the Los Angeles Times for twenty-five years as a reporter\, bureau chief\, editorial page editor\, columnist\, and editor at large. He lives in Pasadena\, California\, and teaches at UCLA\, where he founded and edits the award-winning public affairs magazine Blueprint.
