SUMMARY:Girls and STEAM Summer Livestream
DESCRIPTION:Ever wondered why ice cream melts? What happens to our bodies when we get hot? Do bears get sunburnt? \nOn Tuesday\, June 25 at 10 AM\, get out your detective hats and join us as three STEAM (Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, Art and Design\, and Math) leaders answer some of summer’s biggest mysteries! \nIn this 45-minute journey that can be viewed online at home or in a classroom\, participants will hear from leaders followed by a Q&A session where your most burning questions can be answered! \nWhile best suited for participants in grade 6 and older\, all ages and genders are welcome to experience these wonderful women in STEAM! \nThough the terms “women” and “girls” are used in our event\, Girls and STEAM refers to participants and presenters  who identify as women\, girls\, trans\, genderqueer\, non-binary\, two-spirit\, and gender questioning. \nThe event will also be live-streamed in the Science Theater at Science World\, included with general admission. Please purchase your Science World general admission ticket here.

SUMMARY:SBME Seminar: Long Non-Coding RNAs in Pluripotency\, Development\, and Disease
DESCRIPTION:Seminar’s Abstract:\n“Well-regulated gene expression networks are responsible for establishing and maintaining cellular states during development. Of the early cell states present in development\, pluripotency is the cellular state that has the potential to derive all cell lineages of the embryo. Mutations in genes associated with pluripotency often lead to abnormal development and embryo lethality\, but much of the focus relating to these genes has been on protein-coding genes. However\, the last decade has seen the rise of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as novel players in the control of pluripotency\, development\, and several diseases including cancer and neurological disorders. As such\, our major goal is to understand the molecular mechanisms and functional interactions of lncRNAs in modulating cellular states. In this talk\, I will discuss how these lncRNA interactions influence mRNA splicing\, gene expression\, and ultimately cell fate\, but more specifically in the context of pluripotency.” \n\nDr. Samer Hussein’s Bio:\nDr. Samer Hussein is an associate professor and researcher at Université Laval and its affiliated Cancer Research Center. Dr. Hussein completed his Ph.D. in Neurological Sciences at McGill University\, Montréal\, Canada\, and his post-doctoral training at the University of Helsinki\, Finland\, and later at the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute in Toronto\, Canada. He has published seminal work in the field of reprogramming demonstrating several key findings on how reprogramming to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) affects the chromatin state\, genetic stability\, and gene expression of cells undergoing this process of induced cell fate change. \nHis team now focuses on understanding the molecular underpinnings governing cell fate decision during embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation and during the evolution of cancer\, more specifically Glioblastoma. They use several bioinformatics and sequencing approaches\, such as long read RNA sequencing\, and ESC differentiation models\, such as human cerebral organoids\, to understand the molecular mechanisms and functional interactions of long non-coding RNAs during development and cancer. \nLocation:\nDMCBH 101 LT + Zoom
