SUMMARY:MSL Seminar Series: February – Invited Speaker\, Dr. Robert E. Campbell
DESCRIPTION:Invited Speaker: Dr. Robert E. Campbell – University of Alberta \nZoom registration link:\nhttps://ubc.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5wqde-orzsrGtOp4X3ZskTu8gmSAxrPN8aQ \nTalk Title\nEngineering genetically encoded biosensors of neural activity and metabolism\n \nAbstract\nAdvances in microscopy and fluorescent probe development are revolutionizing biological research by enabling the normally achromatic world of the cell to be visualized in high resolution and with vivid colours. A major focus of the Campbell research group is the use of protein engineering for the development of fluorescent protein-based biosensors for imaging of cell signalling and metabolism. Protein engineering\, using a combination of rational protein design and directed protein evolution\, is the most effective and versatile approach for generating such biosensors. Accordingly\, by exploiting structure-guided design\, combined with iterative cycles of high-throughput fluorescence image-based screening of bacterial colonies\, and lower throughput testing of promising variants in mammalian cells\, we are developing a growing selection of fluorescent protein-based biosensors with improved properties. In this seminar I will present some of our most recent efforts to expand the palette of calcium ion biosensors\, and describe how we are using similar engineering efforts to make biosensors for biologically-active ions and key metabolites.\n\nHost: Dr. Stephen Withers

SUMMARY:SFU Nobel Prize Lectures 2022
DESCRIPTION:Rob Britton from the Department of Chemistry\, Edgar Young from the Department of Molecular Biology & Biochemistry\, and Kirsten Zickfeld from the Department of Geography. \nWednesday February 16\, 2022 \n5:00-7:00pm via livestream \nAbout the Presenters: \nDr. Robert Britton completed his PhD at UBC with Professors Edward Piers and Raymond Anderson in 2002 studying natural product isolation and synthesis\, and was then an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow in Cambridge working with Professor Ian Paterson on the synthesis of structurally complex marine natural products. He is currently a Professor at SFU and his research program focuses on reaction discovery\, natural product synthesis\, medicinal chemistry and radiopharmaceutical chemistry. \nTopic: The catalysis of chemical reactions has historically relied on expensive and often low-abundance metals such as gold\, palladium and platinum. The discovery that inexpensive and naturally occurring organic molecules can catalyze the same reactions has caused a paradigm shift that has led to more environmentally friendly and economic processes\, and served as an enabling tool for scientific discoveries. \nDr. Edgar Young is an Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular Biology & Biochemistry at SFU. His research lab investigates ion channel proteins that switch their structure in response to electrical and chemical signals\, producing complex behaviour in the cardiac and nervous systems. \nTopic: The 2021 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine was awarded to David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian\, for their discovery of key molecules in our nervous system that enable our sense of touch. In this talk\, we’ll see how these molecules called ion channels work as electrical switches to convey sensations of pressure\, pain\, heat and cold — and we’ll explore the prospects for medical benefit. \nDr. Kirsten Zickfeld is a Distinguished Professor of Climate Science in the Geography Department at Simon Fraser University. Her primary research interests are in the long-term effects of human activities on climate. She is internationally recognized for her research on the irreversibility of human-induced climate change and carbon budgets consistent with climate targets. \nTopic: This talk will highlight the contributions of 2021 Physics Nobel Price winners Syukuro Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann to the field of climate modelling\, and discuss the role climate models have played in understanding an addressing the climate crisis. \nFrom Nobel Prize Lectures 2021: \nThe Nobel Prize in Physics 2021 was awarded “for groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of complex systems” with one half jointly to Syukuro Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann “for the physical modelling of Earth’s climate\, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming” and the other half to Giorgio Parisi “for the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales.” \nhttps://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/2021/summary/ \nThe Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2021 was awarded jointly to David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian “for their discoveries of receptors for temperature and touch.” \nhttps://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medicine/2021/summary/ \nThe Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2021 was awarded jointly to Benjamin List and David W.C. MacMillan “for the development of asymmetric organocatalysis.” \nhttps://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/chemistry/2021/summary/

SUMMARY:It Starts with Us: Let’s Talk about Sex (and Gender)
DESCRIPTION:Gender and sex are complicated\, and yet are often treated as though they are neat and simple. Oversimplifying these complicated factors often results intersex\, trans\, non-binary and Two-Spirit people being altogether erased from curriculum in medical education\, or being treated as rare exceptions whose health care needs are limited to a few specific fields. \nAs part of the It Starts With Us series\, we will be hosting Dr. Mei-ling Wiedmeyer and Dr. A.J. Lowik\, who will share some background learnings that set the stage for an ongoing curriculum audit funded by the UBC Faculty of Medicine Strategic Investment Fund. The audit is assessing ways to better equip future generations of doctors with the language\, skills\, values\, and knowledge to better serve the needs of all patients\, especially intersex\, trans\, non-binary and Two-Spirit patients. \nIn this virtual session\, they will identify some of the important concepts for faculty\, staff\, tutors\, preceptors\, and others to understand\, and to continue UBC’s leadership in equity-oriented care and education. \nGender and sex are complicated\, and yet are often treated as though they are neat and simple \nTopic: Let’s Talk About Sex (and Gender)\nDate: Tuesday\, February 22\, 2022\nTime: 12:00 – 1:30 pm PST \nRegistration: Pre-registration is required.

SUMMARY:TI Methods Speaker Series: Harnessing the Power of Excess Statistical Significance
DESCRIPTION:About the topic: In this presentation\, Tom Stanley will show how excess statistical significance (ESS) can improve the credibility of research synthesis. This will generalize on the notion of an excess of statistical significance by Ioannidis & Trikalinos’ (2007) that formed the basis for their chi-square test for publication bias by accommodating heterogeneity. This version of ESS leads to several new tests for publication selection bias (PSB) that are better than the alternatives as well as a new estimator of mean effect (WILS) that greatly reduces bias and MSE at virtually no cost to efficiency. These methods do not depend on the mechanism or the model of publication selection bias. The findings of these methods cannot be dismissed as a small-study effect because they do not treat small studies differently than large studies nor use\, in any way\, the correlation of effect size with its SE. Mathematically\, PSB→E(ESS) > 0; hence\, ESS serves as a good indicator of PSB. \nAbout the speaker: Tom Stanley is Professor of Meta-Analysis at the School of Business and Law\, Deakin University\, Melbourne Australia. For over 30 years\, Tom taught various economics and statistics classes at Hendrix College\, as well as the odd history class (e.g.\, Western Intellectual Traditions). Since the 1980s\, his research has focused on the development and application of meta-regression methods and the mitigation of publication bias. Prof. Stanley is the convener of MAER-Net (Meta-Analysis of Economics Research Network) and a member of both DeLMAR (Deakin Lab for the Meta-Analysis of Research) and the Society for Research Synthesis Methods. He is Associate Editor of the Journal of Economic Surveys and Research Synthesis Methods.

SUMMARY:TI Methods Speaker Series: Harnessing the Power of Excess Statistical Significance
DESCRIPTION:About the topic: In this presentation\, Tom Stanley will show how excess statistical significance (ESS) can improve the credibility of research synthesis. This will generalize on the notion of an excess of statistical significance by Ioannidis & Trikalinos’ (2007) that formed the basis for their chi-square test for publication bias by accommodating heterogeneity. This version of ESS leads to several new tests for publication selection bias (PSB) that are better than the alternatives as well as a new estimator of mean effect (WILS) that greatly reduces bias and MSE at virtually no cost to efficiency. These methods do not depend on the mechanism or the model of publication selection bias. The findings of these methods cannot be dismissed as a small-study effect because they do not treat small studies differently than large studies nor use\, in any way\, the correlation of effect size with its SE. Mathematically\, PSB→E(ESS) > 0; hence\, ESS serves as a good indicator of PSB. \nAbout the speaker: Tom Stanley is Professor of Meta-Analysis at the School of Business and Law\, Deakin University\, Melbourne Australia. For over 30 years\, Tom taught various economics and statistics classes at Hendrix College\, as well as the odd history class (e.g.\, Western Intellectual Traditions). Since the 1980s\, his research has focused on the development and application of meta-regression methods and the mitigation of publication bias. Prof. Stanley is the convener of MAER-Net (Meta-Analysis of Economics Research Network) and a member of both DeLMAR (Deakin Lab for the Meta-Analysis of Research) and the Society for Research Synthesis Methods. He is Associate Editor of the Journal of Economic Surveys and Research Synthesis Methods.
