SUMMARY:Vancouver STEMminist Book Club
DESCRIPTION:In our fifth meeting of the Vancouver STEMminist book club we will be reading “Pursuing Giraffe: A 1950s Adventure” by Ann Innis Dagg. Join us at Hycroft Manor to discuss the origins of the first\, and least well know Canadian girraffe scientist – Ann Innis Dagg. This memoir explores Ann’s trailblazing travels to Africa to observe and study giraffe in the wild. She beat Jane Goodall to Africa by 4 years! This is a must read for anyone – especially to learn about this amazing and accomplished Canadian scientist!! \nWe will do a quick overview of the book at the beginning of the session followed by a deeper discussion. It is suggested to read the book\, but we welcome you to attend and contribute to the discussion either way. All voices and perspectives are welcomed. \n“Pursuing Giraffe: A 1950s Adventure” is available online and in select book stores\, and or may be ordered in by your favourite bookstore. Watching the movie is also a great option if you prefer a visual story (Available on Crave if you have a subscription). \nFAQs \nAbout the STEMminist Book Club Vancouver chapter: \nThe plan is to mirror the STEMminist Bookclub that was started in Australia by Dr. Caroline Ford (@DrCFord). We will aim to read one book every two months followed by an in-person meeting here in Vancouver\, BC. You are also able to contribute to the discussion online on twitter @stemminist / #stemministbc (we don’t always read the same book as the online discussion). \nIf you are interested in the contributions of women to science\, learning more about the history of science\, and want to talk about some of the issues and stories brought up in the books this is the book club for you! \nUpdate: We have received funds from SCWIST to provide treats! Book lending to come for future events. \nWhat are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event? \nFree street parking in the surrounding area. \nBusing:\n99 bus\, walk or bus up Granville St from Broadway to 16th Ave\n33 bus\, walk up McRae Ave. \nWhat can I bring into the event?\n \nWe welcome you to bring your children. Give us a heads up and we will organize a fun activity for your kids. \nTea and Coffee\, will be available for purchase from the venue. Bringing your own non-alcoholic drinks is also welcome. \nWe will have a selection of treats! \nHow can I contact the organizer with any questions? \nVancityStemminists@gmail.com

Lower Mainland who have an interest in the field of bioinformatics. \nVanBUG meets on the second Thursday of every month from September through April. Research presentations by bioinformatics leaders\, students and industry representatives are followed by networking over pizza and refreshments \nMeetings are held in the Gordon and Leslie Diamond Family Theatre\, BC Cancer Research Centre\, 675 West 10th Avenue at 6:00 pm and are free and open to all. \nAs a service to the community\, other bioinformatics events are posted to the Calendar\nVisit our sister groups for bioinformatics events in Montreal (MonBUG) and now Toronto (TorBUG)! \nnext speakers:\n  \nMatt Pennell\n\nTalk Title:\nLearning about evolutionary dynamics from molecular phylogenies \nDate/Time:\nThursday\, February 20th\, 2020 6:00pm \nWE ARE BACK TO OUR NORMAL LOCATION!\nLocation:\nGordon & Leslie Diamond Theature\, BCCRC Main Floor (675 W 10th Ave\, Vancouver\, BC V5Z1L3) \nAffiliation:\nAssistant Professor\, Department of Zoology\, UBC\nCanada Research Chair in Biodiversity Theory and Informatics \nBio:\nDr. Pennell is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Zoology at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and a Canada Research Chair in Biodiversity Theory and Informatics. Prior to his appointment as assistant professor\, Dr. Pennell was an Izaak Killam Memorial and NSERC postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Zoology at UBC. He also worked as a Graduate Fellow at the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center in Durham\, NC. He received his PhD in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology at the University of Idaho and his bachelor’s degree from Simon Fraser University in Burnaby\, BC. He received a Young Investigator Award from the American Society of Naturalists in 2016 and the Theodosius Dobzhansky Prize from the Society for the Study of Evolution in 2019. \nHe is fascinated by life’s variety and seek general explanations for how it arose and how it is maintained. A basic premise of his research is that these two aims are interdependent: what we see today is the result of ecological and evolutionary processes operating in concert across ‘deep time’. In his research\, he builds theory\, statistical methods\, and computational tools to investigate how the interactions of these processes have played out over history. He has a particular fondness for phylogenetic trees\, the historical pattern of branching that connects organisms to one another\, and work to understand what these can tell us about the long-term dynamics of evolutionary change. To complement this work\, he also develop general informatics tools for handling\, manipulating\, and sharing biodiversity data. \nAbstract:\nA central challenge in evolutionary biology is to understand why some lineages contain so much diversity while others have so few; ultimately this means estimating and explaining variation in rates of diversification — the rate at which lineages split and go extinct. This is not only a major problem in macroevolutionary research (where my background is) but is also important for characterizing the dynamics of viral epidemics and cell division within development\, including antibody diversification and cancer proliferation. In this talk\, I will discuss recent progress in applying statistical models to estimate diversification dynamics from phylogenetic trees constructed from genomic data. While there has been tremendous excitement about this line of research\, there has also been persistent questions about the reliability of evolutionary inferences made from molecular phylogenies alone. I will address these questions by presenting some brand new work from my research group in which we clarify precisely what information about evolutionary dynamics can be obtained by comparing genomic sequences. I will end by discussing how these new results might be applied to help us better understand epidemics and cellular proliferation.

While there has been tremendous excitement about this line of research\, there has also been persistent questions about the reliability of evolutionary inferences made from molecular phylogenies alone. I will address these questions by presenting some brand new work from my research group in which we clarify precisely what information about evolutionary dynamics can be obtained by comparing genomic sequences. I will end by discussing how these new results might be applied to help us better understand epidemics and cellular proliferation.

SUMMARY:VanBUG: Learning about Evolutionary Dynamics from Molecular Phylogenies
DESCRIPTION:VanBUG (Vancouver Bioinformatics Users Group) is an association of researchers\, other professionals and students in the B.C. Lower Mainland who have an interest in the field of bioinformatics. \nVanBUG meets on the second Thursday of every month from September through April. Research presentations by bioinformatics leaders\, students and industry representatives are followed by networking over pizza and refreshments \nMeetings are held in the Gordon and Leslie Diamond Family Theatre\, BC Cancer Research Centre\, 675 West 10th Avenue at 6:00 pm and are free and open to all. \nAs a service to the community\, other bioinformatics events are posted to the Calendar\nVisit our sister groups for bioinformatics events in Montreal (MonBUG) and now Toronto (TorBUG)! \nnext speakers:\n  \nMatt Pennell\n\nTalk Title:\nLearning about evolutionary dynamics from molecular phylogenies \nDate/Time:\nThursday\, February 20th\, 2020 6:00pm \nWE ARE BACK TO OUR NORMAL LOCATION!\nLocation:\nGordon & Leslie Diamond Theature\, BCCRC Main Floor (675 W 10th Ave\, Vancouver\, BC V5Z1L3) \nAffiliation:\nAssistant Professor\, Department of Zoology\, UBC\nCanada Research Chair in Biodiversity Theory and Informatics \nBio:\nDr. Pennell is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Zoology at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and a Canada Research Chair in Biodiversity Theory and Informatics. Prior to his appointment as assistant professor\, Dr. Pennell was an Izaak Killam Memorial and NSERC postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Zoology at UBC. He also worked as a Graduate Fellow at the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center in Durham\, NC. He received his PhD in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology at the University of Idaho and his bachelor’s degree from Simon Fraser University in Burnaby\, BC. He received a Young Investigator Award from the American Society of Naturalists in 2016 and the Theodosius Dobzhansky Prize from the Society for the Study of Evolution in 2019. \nHe is fascinated by life’s variety and seek general explanations for how it arose and how it is maintained. A basic premise of his research is that these two aims are interdependent: what we see today is the result of ecological and evolutionary processes operating in concert across ‘deep time’. In his research\, he builds theory\, statistical methods\, and computational tools to investigate how the interactions of these processes have played out over history. He has a particular fondness for phylogenetic trees\, the historical pattern of branching that connects organisms to one another\, and work to understand what these can tell us about the long-term dynamics of evolutionary change. To complement this work\, he also develop general informatics tools for handling\, manipulating\, and sharing biodiversity data. \nAbstract:\nA central challenge in evolutionary biology is to understand why some lineages contain so much diversity while others have so few; ultimately this means estimating and explaining variation in rates of diversification — the rate at which lineages split and go extinct. This is not only a major problem in macroevolutionary research (where my background is) but is also important for characterizing the dynamics of viral epidemics and cell division within development\, including antibody diversification and cancer proliferation. In this talk\, I will discuss recent progress in applying statistical models to estimate diversification dynamics from phylogenetic trees constructed from genomic data.
