SUMMARY:Picture a Scientist Film Screening + Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:FILM AVAILABLE TO WATCH ON VIMEO FROM NOVEMBER 25-27\nPANEL DISCUSSION: NOVEMBER 27\, 4-5PM\nPICTURE A SCIENTIST is a documentary film that chronicles the rise of researchers who are writing a new chapter for women scientists and provides new perspectives on how to make science itself more diverse\, equitable\, and open to all. \nFeaturing geologist Jane Willenbring\, chemist Raychelle Burks\, and biologist Nancy Hopkins\, as well as key social scientists working to understand and reduce gender bias in the sciences\, Picture a Scientist brings diversity in science into sharp view at a critical time. The current pandemic is a call to action for scientists to work together globally\, with a multitude of different perspectives\, to defeat COVID-19. For too long\, women and other minorities in science have been left out or driven out\, stymied by a system of harassment\, discrimination\, and general bias. \nAfter watching the film virtually between November 25-27\, please join us for a panel discussion on November 27 via Zoom with several UBC women scientists as they discuss the film and their own personal experiences. \nCLICK HERE TO RSVP\n(limited to 300 participants due to Zoom meeting capacity) \nEvent hosted in partnership with the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health\, Life Sciences Institute and the Department of Psychology. \nHOST AND MODERATOR:\nDR. HAKIMA MOUKHLES\nAssociate Professor\, Department of Cellular and Physiological Sciences \nPANELISTS:\nDR. CAROLINA TROPINI\nAssistant Professor\, School of Biomedical Engineering /Department of Microbiology & Immunology \nDr. Tropini’s interests lie at the nexus of medicine\, microbial biophysics and engineering. Working in the field of the gut microbiota\, she is applying novel tools to longstanding questions regarding the stability of microbial communities and their response to perturbations during disease. \nDR. SHEILA TEVES\nAssistant Professor\, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology \nDr. Teves’ research studies how transcription is maintained and altered over time using the model system of mouse embryonic stem cells. The long-term goal of her research is to understand the mechanisms governing transcriptional memory over multiple time scales. \nDR. LIISA GALEA\nProfessor\, Department of Psychology\nDirector of the Graduate Program in Neuroscience \nDr. Galea’s research investigates how sex hormones influence brain health and disease in both females and males. The main goal of her research is to improve brain health for women and men by examining the influence of sex and sex hormones on normal and diseased brain states such as depression and Alzheimer’s disease. \nDR. SHERNAZ BAMJI\nProfessor\, Department of Cellular and Physiological Sciences\nAssociate Director\, Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health \nDr. Bamji has a long-standing interest in understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying neural connectivity and synaptic plasticity.

DESCRIPTION:FILM AVAILABLE TO WATCH ON VIMEO FROM NOVEMBER 25-27\nPANEL DISCUSSION: NOVEMBER 27\, 4-5PM\nPICTURE A SCIENTIST is a documentary film that chronicles the rise of researchers who are writing a new chapter for women scientists and provides new perspectives on how to make science itself more diverse\, equitable\, and open to all. \nFeaturing geologist Jane Willenbring\, chemist Raychelle Burks\, and biologist Nancy Hopkins\, as well as key social scientists working to understand and reduce gender bias in the sciences\, Picture a Scientist brings diversity in science into sharp view at a critical time. The current pandemic is a call to action for scientists to work together globally\, with a multitude of different perspectives\, to defeat COVID-19. For too long\, women and other minorities in science have been left out or driven out\, stymied by a system of harassment\, discrimination\, and general bias. \nAfter watching the film virtually between November 25-27\, please join us for a panel discussion on November 27 via Zoom with several UBC women scientists as they discuss the film and their own personal experiences. \nCLICK HERE TO RSVP\n(limited to 300 participants due to Zoom meeting capacity) \nEvent hosted in partnership with the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health\, Life Sciences Institute and the Department of Psychology. \nHOST AND MODERATOR:\nDR. HAKIMA MOUKHLES\nAssociate Professor\, Department of Cellular and Physiological Sciences \nPANELISTS:\nDR. CAROLINA TROPINI\nAssistant Professor\, School of Biomedical Engineering /Department of Microbiology & Immunology \nDr. Tropini’s interests lie at the nexus of medicine\, microbial biophysics and engineering. Working in the field of the gut microbiota\, she is applying novel tools to longstanding questions regarding the stability of microbial communities and their response to perturbations during disease. \nDR. SHEILA TEVES\nAssistant Professor\, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology \nDr. Teves’ research studies how transcription is maintained and altered over time using the model system of mouse embryonic stem cells. The long-term goal of her research is to understand the mechanisms governing transcriptional memory over multiple time scales. \nDR. LIISA GALEA\nProfessor\, Department of Psychology\nDirector of the Graduate Program in Neuroscience \nDr. Galea’s research investigates how sex hormones influence brain health and disease in both females and males. The main goal of her research is to improve brain health for women and men by examining the influence of sex and sex hormones on normal and diseased brain states such as depression and Alzheimer’s disease. \nDR. SHERNAZ BAMJI\nProfessor\, Department of Cellular and Physiological Sciences\nAssociate Director\, Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health \nDr. Bamji has a long-standing interest in understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying neural connectivity and synaptic plasticity. Her work has provided valuable information about fundamental mechanisms underlying learning and memory\, as well as how these processes are perturbed in diseased states.

SUMMARY:Hot Topics in Research: The Genetic Basis of Obesity and Thinness
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our Hot Topics in Research seminar series. Hear from investigators and trainees showcasing hot research topics on and off the Oak Street campus. \nHot Topics in Research is presented by the BC Children’s Hospital Research Themes with the support of the Research Education Team. \nAlthough the global rise in the prevalence of obesity is driven by the consumption of palatable foods and reduced levels of physical activity\, there is strong evidence that inherited factors influence variation in body weight within a given environment. Genetic approaches have paved the way for the identification of core neural circuits involved in energy balance and therefore our understanding of why some people gain weight easily while others remain thin without too much effort. We can demonstrate that disruption of these pathways affects eating behaviour and other closely associated behaviours. Unravelling how complex biological influences modulate our interaction with their environment is critical to understanding the susceptibility to obesity and to finding mechanism based preventative and therapeutic interventions. \nSchedule & Participation\nThe seminar is scheduled for Thursday\, November 26\, 2020 from 9 to 10 a.m. \nConnecting: https://ubc.zoom.us/j/69232445327\nMeeting ID: 692 3244 5327\nPasscode: 2072 (Zoom Dial-In Numbers) \nAbout the Speaker\nDr. Farooqi is a Wellcome Trust Principal Research Fellow and Professor of Metabolism and Medicine at the Wellcome-MRC Institute of Metabolic Science\, University of Cambridge\, UK. Obesity-associated co-morbidities are greatest in children and adults with severe obesity for whom lifestyle interventions are seldom effective and therapeutic interventions are limited. The goal of Dr. Farooqi’s research is to inform therapeutic strategies for severe obesity by delivering a step-change in our understanding of human energy homeostasis. Her research interests include severe childhood obesity\, thinness and translational research. Learn more \nVideo Library\nVideo recordings of public lectures are available online. These may be useful for classes\, or of interest to those who are unable to attend events. \nFor more information\, contact please comm@bcchr.ca.
