SUMMARY:Café Scientifique with Leonard Foster
DESCRIPTION:Our next café will happen on Tuesday\, October 29th at 7:30pm in the back room at Yagger’s Downtown (433 W Pender). Our speaker for the evening will be Dr. Leonard Foster from the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at UBC. \nBreeding stronger bees by shortcutting nature \n\nDr. Leonard Foster’s laboratory at UBC has been involved in a Canada-wide project aimed at bringing modern molecular technologies to bear on the selective breeding of honey bees that are better able to resist disease and stress. They use molecular fingerprinting and genomics to identify stronger bees\, enabling their selective breeding. This brings up several controversial topics\, including whether these bees are “natural”\, whether selectively bred bees could/should be patented and how far away direct genetic modification of honey bees will be. Dr. Foster will describe the state-of-the-art in bee genetics and where the future may lie here. \nDr. Leonard Foster is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of British Columbia. Dr. Foster comes from a family of beekeepers and got his introduction to academic bee research at Simon Fraser University while doing his Bachelor’s degree in biochemistry – at SFU he worked with Drs. Winston and Slessor on honey bee pheromones\, particularly the components of queen mandibular pheromone. He then did a Ph.D in Toronto a post-doctoral studies in Denmark before starting his current position in 2005. The first independent operating grant that Dr. Foster secured was to study how bee pathogens were able to manipulate the protein machinery within bee cells. Since that time he has led three very large-scale projects that have investigated some of the molecular mechanisms behind disease resistance in bees. This effort has recently moved into trying to apply this knowledge by using the information they have learned to guide selective breeding for hygienic behavior in honey bees. He is very active in extension and frequently engages the public on various aspects of honey bee biology. He currently lives in Richmond and keeps bees himself.

SUMMARY:UBC Postdoc Research Day
DESCRIPTION:Our biggest event of the year is coming up! Postdoc Research Day is a full day of interdisciplinary talks by postdocs at UBC in a fantastic venue at a large capacity. \nRegister here: https://bit.ly/2MXleOJ\nEveryone is welcome to attend\, but only UBC affiliated postdocs can present. \nAbstract submission deadline is Nov 15th! The abstract submission form can be found here: http://bit.ly/2qZRLLF \nWhere? Pharmaceutical Sciences Building\, UBC Campus \nWhen? Monday\, December 2nd \nResearch Day: 9 am – 5.30 pm \nEvening reception from 5:30 pm onwards (networking + dinner) \nCome and present your research for the chance to win prizes or just listen to your fellow postdocs presenting about a vast variety of projects – showcasing the diversity of research by postdocs at UBC! \nIn addition to the interdisciplinary talks by postdocs\, there will be a keynote lecture by Dr. Josef Penninger about his experience in academia and industry and his path to becoming the director of the Life Sciences Institute at UBC. \nDuring lunch\, we will hold our first ever Postdoc Townhall Meeting \nThe UBC PDA wants to hear from you! As the independent organization working to represent all UBC postdoctoral fellows and advocate on their behalf\, the PDA would love to hear about your life postdoc-ing! Should we have more coffee parties or pub crawls? Are you satisfied with your professional development opportunities? How about that extended benefits package? Come chat with the PDA exec team and help us prepare an advocacy agenda that represents you! \nAn industry focused career panel in the afternoon will feature representatives from STEMCELL Technologies\, Lumerical and other local companies that are employing PhDs (to be announced). \nThis blog post will be updated as we are finalising the event details. \nDo you want to present? \nYou must be a postdoc affiliated with UBC to be eligible to present. Everyone can attend\, so please spread the word and bring your friends and colleagues! If you want to give a talk\, please register for the event (https://bit.ly/2MXleOJ) and then download the abstract registration form (http://bit.ly/2qZRLLF) and e-mail it to ubc.postdoc@gmail.com \nThere is going to be two different talk lengths this year and you can decide which one you prefer. \nFull talk: 12 min + 3 min for questions \nLightning talk: 5 min\, no questions\, but there will be ample time for discussion and questions in the coffee/lunch breaks that immediately follow all the lightning talks \nThese short talks are great if you want to practise presenting your project in a concise way in just 5 minutes (great opportunity to practise your science communication skills!) or if have just started your postdoc and don’t have enough data yet for a regular presentation. \nAs this is an interdisciplinary gathering of postdocs from all different fields\, please be aware that you are presenting to a general audience. \nAbstract submission deadline: Nov 15th\nWe will notify you not later than Nov 20th if your abstract has been selected for presentation and if you will be presenting a full  talk or lightning talk. \nGet your abstracts ready (max 250 words). Registration and abstract submission is open now! \nWe are looking forward to seeing you at Postdoc Research Day 2019!

SUMMARY:Are shellfish the canaries of our seas?
DESCRIPTION:BC’s shellfish industry is facing challenges wrought by human activity. Farmed and wild shellfish rely on clean\, cool waters rich in algae\, and changes to these conditions have consequences on their health. Ocean acidification\, warmer ocean temperatures\, harmful algae blooms and their associated shellfish-borne diseases\, increased incidences of viral infections and severe storms and the presence of microplastics which are being ingested by shellfish\, could combine to overcome an already struggling industry. Unfortunately\, all that occurs for farmed shellfish will also be experienced by wild shellfish\, a key species in marine ecosystems. Hence\, shellfish serve as our canaries – harbingers of what might be in store for our ocean ecosystems. \nDr. Bendell is a Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences\, Faculty of Science. For 30 years\, she has studied how anthropogenic impacts alter ecosystem structure and function and the consequences of such impacts on ecosystem and human health. She teaches Ecotoxicology and Biology and tries to instill in her students a sense of urgency as to why we must all work together to mend our planet.

Ocean acidification\, warmer ocean temperatures\, harmful algae blooms and their associated shellfish-borne diseases\, increased incidences of viral infections and severe storms and the presence of microplastics which are being ingested by shellfish\, could combine to overcome an already struggling industry. Unfortunately\, all that occurs for farmed shellfish will also be experienced by wild shellfish\, a key species in marine ecosystems. Hence\, shellfish serve as our canaries – harbingers of what might be in store for our ocean ecosystems. \nDr. Bendell is a Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences\, Faculty of Science. For 30 years\, she has studied how anthropogenic impacts alter ecosystem structure and function and the consequences of such impacts on ecosystem and human health. She teaches Ecotoxicology and Biology and tries to instill in her students a sense of urgency as to why we must all work together to mend our planet.

SUMMARY:Baker’s Yeast are Way Cool…
DESCRIPTION:Yeast are humans’ oldest domesticated microorganism\, and for thousands of years we have used them to produce many useful\, and often delicious\, products. But did you know yeast do more than just make your bread rise? \nAs yeast grow\, they convert sugars primarily into carbon dioxide and alcohol\, but through this process they also produce a huge variety of aromatic compounds. Some of these aromatics are fruity\, and can also be found in apples\, bananas\, and berries. Other compounds may smell like cloves\, herbs\, or vegetables. And they can also make weird smells that you’d never associate with baking or brewing: from nail polish\, to baby vomit\, even the buttery smell of microwavable popcorn! Balancing all of these flavours is critical\, and learning more about how and why yeast make them will help us breed better yeast strains for the breads and beers of tomorrow. \nDr. Karissa Milbury (@Point_Mutation) researches the complex aromas that are produced by Baker’s yeast (A.K.A.Saccharomyces cerevisiae\, or brewer’s yeast) during fermentation\, through her role as a Mitacs Postdoctoral Fellow at UBC and Renaissance BioScience Corp.
