SUMMARY:PGRP Seminar: Adrienne Roeder
DESCRIPTION:11am to Noon\, Cornell Vet School Auditorium (Lecture Hall 1)\n“Size is a critical property of plants\, yet we know little about how it is controlled. In the Roeder laboratory\, we ask how does a cell know how big to be and how does the whole organ (e.g. leaf\, sepal or petal) made up of many cells know how big to be. To answer these questions we image living plants on a confocal microscope and measure the growth of cells\, examine the cell division pattern\, and quantify fluorescent proteins expressed.” \nAdrienne Roeder is a Nancy M. & Samuel C. Fleming Term Associate Professor at the the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology\, and the Section of Plant Biology\, School of Integrative Plant Science. Roeder is also a faculty advisor in BTI’s Plant Genome Research Program (PGRP) internship program. \nThis seminar is hosted as part of BTI’s Plant Genome Research Program\, taking place every Wednesday (except July 4th) from June 6th – August 1st\, 2018.

SUMMARY:From Binghamton to Borneo: Engaged Learning Across Space and Time
DESCRIPTION:From Binghamton to Borneo: Engaged Learning Across Space and Time\nThursday\, May 17th | 10:30-11:30am\nPresentation by Shorna Allred\, Ph.D. \nOrganized by CAPE: Cornell Association of Professors Emeriti\, Southeast Asia Program \nCommunity-based research interlinks university actors (faculty\, researchers\, students) with community actors from government\, private sector\, NGO\, business\, and Extension sectors.  Working together\, universities and communities engage in co-researching and co-creating innovative and actionable research projects that address a community’s unique context\, problems\, and needs while benefitting local people and places. \nDr. Allred is the faculty director of the Global Citizenship and Sustainability program in Borneo and the Rust to Green Scholars program in Binghamton.  This talk will focus on the role of students in community-based research for resilience.  These programs expand the university-community knowledge network with the goal of fostering greater sustainability\, resiliency\, and prosperity in communities here in NYS and around the globe.  Students working on community-based research reap the benefits of working and learning alongside community members\, contributing knowledge\, and developing new skills and abilities in community development research and action.

SUMMARY:"Non-academic Careers" - Seminar with BTI Board Member Paul Chomet
DESCRIPTION:Plant Biology Friday Seminar\nMay 10\, 2018 (Thursday)\n12:20 PM | Plant Science\, Room 404 \nPlease join Cornell SIPS for a seminar by BTI Board Member Paul Chomet (NRGene).\n\nIn the spring of 2016\, six years after forming in Ness Ziona\, Israel\, NRGene\, Ltd. opened the doors to its US office in St. Louis. The biotech company has developed analytics\, technology and software to compare genomes and plant performance across breeding populations to help predict the best genomic makeup.\n\n\n \n\n\nWhy? Because the world needs to eat.\n\n\n \n\n\n“We need to feed 9 billion people by 2050 using less arable land\, less water and fewer inputs\,” says Dr. Paul Chomet\, scientific adviser for the company. “One important solution will be to accelerate breeding by using big genomic data to efficiently select and advance desirable genetic diversity.”\n\n\n \n\n\nChomet was the last graduate student of Dr. Barbara McClintock\, the Nobel Prize-winning cytogeneticist who challenged existing concepts of genome structure and function. Now NRGene is helping to continue her legacy.\n\n\n \n\n\nAfter assembling more than 80 complete genomes in 2015—including one of the most complex: bread wheat\, about five times the size of a human genome—NRGene entered into a partnership with Illumina\, one of the largest sequencing companies in the world.\n\n\n \n\n\n“I’m very excited about NRGene’s technology\, [particularly] the GenoMAGIC (TM) platform\, which is being utilized extensively across both academia and industry to transform how scientists make breeding decisions using big genomic data\,” says Dr. Chomet. “NRGene in St. Louis really just demonstrates the universal truth of business: You need to be in the right location\, selling the right goods at just the right time. St. Louis\, our technology and the ever-increasing need to feed the world puts us right there.\n\n\n \n\n\nPlease note this event is NOT being hosted at or by BTI.

SUMMARY:Richard Durst: "Pathological Science and the Perils of Thinking Outside of the Box"
DESCRIPTION:“Pathological Science and the Perils of Thinking Outside of the Box”\n \nCAPE: Cornell Association of Professors Emeriti Lecture\nPresenter: Richard Durst\, Professor Emeritus of Chemistry\, Food Science\nThursday\, April 19 | 10:30 to 11:30am | BTI Auditorium\nRevolutionary science often requires thinking outside of the box.  However\, stepping outside of the box can be fraught with many hazards\, not the least of which is the loss of objectivity. \nScientists are often not very good judges of the scientific process. The best intentions can be subverted by self-deception.  Even eminent scientists have had their careers tarnished or ruined by misinterpreting unremarkable events and convincing themselves that they have made a great discovery. \nError is a normal part of science\, and many revolutionary discoveries turn out to be wrong.  Uncovering flaws in observations or reasoning is part of what scientists do\, by replicating measurements and designing control experiments. \n“Pathological science” is the term coined by Irving Langmuir in 1953. Other terms for this phenomenon include: pseudoscience; voodoo science; junk science; weird science; etc.  However\, pathological science should be distinguished from hoaxes and fraud — which are intentionally meant to deceive. \nThis presentation will look at the various causes of pathological science and examine some of the interesting examples\, such as Martian canals\, N-rays\, 21-gram soul\, extrasensory perception\, polywater\, cold fusion and\, the latest\, the Hydrino Suncell.. \nSelf-deception can affect anyone — scientists are only human — even some of the best minds have been fooled.  Critical thinking must be used to avoid the pitfalls of pathological science.

SUMMARY:PGS Fest Seminar: "Applying Biology to the Challenges of Sustainable Energy"
DESCRIPTION:PGS Fest Seminar\nThursday\, April 12th | Beginning at 3:30pm | BTI Auditorium | Happy Hour immediately after seminar (Official Facebook Event)\nSeminar by: Dr. Buz Barstow\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Biological and Environmental Engineering\, Cornell University\nCredit: Barstow Lab \nBiology has the potential to make contributions to sustainable energy from the synthesis of advanced materials for construction and transportation to ultra-low-cost\, high-efficiency solar power. \nAdvances in sustainable energy enabled by applied biology could have a transformative effect on human health by mitigating the effects of climate change\, revolutionizing access to energy\, and improving air and water quality. If this can be realized\, the impact of these advances could be large as those made by antibiotics\, vaccines and recombinant protein drugs. \nIn this talk\, Dr. Buz Barstow will outline his team’s plans to use applied biology to solve pressing problems in sustainable energy including facilitating the widespread adoption of battery energy storage; enabling the environmentally friendly extraction of rare earth elements for energy efficient electronics; producing better biofuels; increasing the efficiency of photosynthesis; and democratizing the creation of double-gene knockout collections to enable genome-wide genetic interaction studies in organisms useful for sustainable energy. \nFor more about Dr. Barstow’s research: http://barstow.bee.cornell.edu/research/
