SUMMARY:Language Science Talks: Talking Genetics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: UNICEF\, UNESCO and the World Health Organization include communication in their core life skills. Deficits in communication disrupt social\, emotional and educational development and increase the risk of behavioural disorders\, unemployment and mental health issues. Yet\, research in this area is under-represented and we still have little understanding as to the causes of communication disorders and their relationships to other developmental delays and behavioural problems. It is likely that genetic factors contribute to communication disorders but we expect there to be many contributory genetic variants\, each with only a small risk. Some people inherit certain combinations of these risk variations that\, when accompanied by particular environmental factors\, make them sensitive to language impairment. \nMy presentation today will focus upon our study of a unique Chilean population who inhabit the Robison Crusoe Island. This Island community was colonised in 1876 by 64 individuals from whom the majority of the current population (633 people) are descended. In 2008\, researchers from the University of Chile noted that approximately 60% of children living on this island were affected by language disorder. They further described how the majority of language impaired individuals were descended from two brothers who formed part of the original colonising party. We have been working with researchers from Chile and with the Islanders to form a study of the genetic origins of the Islanders and to discover genetic variants that might explain the unusually high incidence of language impairment in this population. Our investigations have led to the identification of rare variants in the NFXL1 gene\, which encodes a transcription factor that is highly expressed in the cerebellum. In my talk\, I will give an overview of the population and the findings of our genetic research. I will discuss how genomic studies can help to better understand the molecular mechanisms of speech and language and\, ultimately\, may direct the targeting of interventions for affected individuals. \nSpeaker bio: Dr Dianne Newbury is a molecular geneticist who studies genetic contributions to childhood neurodevelopmental disorders. Her investigations specifically focus around speech and language impairment and its relationship to disorders such as dyslexia. Dianne has a lab at Oxford Brookes University. Her work is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council\, the Leverhulme Trust and the British Academy.

SUMMARY:Digital Research Infrastructure Showcase
DESCRIPTION:UBC Advanced Research Computing (ARC)\, in partnership with Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health (DMCBH)\, will showcase UBC ARC digital research infrastructure: Sockeye and Chinook on Feb 19\, 2021\, at 12:30pm.  This talk will provide an introduction to UBC ARC services\, including the high-performance computing system and object storage platform\, as well as firsthand testimonies from DMCBH researchers Jennifer Ferris\, PhD Candidate\, and Jonathan Doucette\, PhD Candidate\, on how Sockeye has helped expedite their research.  The presentation will conclude with a demonstration on the application process\, use of MATLAB on Sockeye\, and introduction to ARC staff available for consults and assistance. \nAll Attendees Welcome! \nWhen: Feb 19\, 2021 \nTime: 12:30 pm PST \nConnect on Zoom: \nUBC Dynamic Brain Circuits Databinge meeting: Join Zoom Meeting \nhttps://ubc.zoom.us/j/168788388?pwd=UGhGdFN2THB0empjRlVRUGs1b3MvZz09  \nMeeting ID: 168 788 388 \nPasscode: 778293 \nDetails  \nUBC ARC Sockeye is a high-performance computing platform available to UBC researchers across all disciplines. With nearly 16\,000 CPU cores and 200 GPUs\, Sockeye is deigned to significantly increase UBC’s computing capacity and supplement resources available on national platforms. \nUBC ARC Chinook is a new object storage platform\, available to all UBC researchers. With an initial 5 PB of storage\, it has been designed to increase storage capacity to meet the immediate needs of UBC researchers. \nSpeaker(s) Bio:  \nJonathan Doucette: Jon is a PhD student in the Department of Physics & Astronomy studying MRI physics under the supervision of Dr. Alexander Rauscher. Jon’s work focuses on investigating brain tissue microstructure through MRI signal simulations\, as well as accelerating MRI post-processing algorithms using Bayesian deep learning. \nJennifer Ferris: Jenn is a PhD Candidate in Rehabilitation Sciences\, working under the supervision of Dr. Lara Boyd. Her research employs multimodal neuroimaging to study brain damage related to stroke and cerebral small vessel disease. \nQuestions email/contact: arc.support@ubc.ca

SUMMARY:Nobel Prize Lectures 2021
DESCRIPTION:“From singularity theorems to real black holes” by Dr. Andrei Frolov (SFU Department of Physics) will inform how awardee Roger Penrose\, in 1965\, proved that black holes are a consequence of Einstein’s general theory of relativity. He will then show how that theorem provided the foundation for our current understanding of black holes and their gravitational pull. \n“Genetic cut and paste: a revolutionary tool for correcting mutations” by Dr. Timothy Audas (SFU Department of Chemistry) contains conversation on the discovery\, refinement\, and ethical considerations that come with the exciting new CRISPR technology developed by the winners of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry\, technology that allows scientists to edit the genome of any living organism on Earth. \n“Needle in a haystack: molecular luck and the discovery of hepatitis C virus” by Dr. Nienke E. van Houten (SFU Department of Health Sciences) will inform audiences of the previous health concerns and dangers of receiving blood transfusions\, and how the 2020 Nobel Prize in medicine was awarded for the discovery of the Hepatitits C virus. This talk will describe three major discoveries and how they led to safer blood supplies and treatments.
