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: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!
