SUMMARY:Pufferfish (and relatives) are Way Cool because…
DESCRIPTION:They have one of the most curious defense systems of the animal kingdom! \nThe pufferfish has a smile unlike any other fish! But watch out- when it feels threatened\, the pufferfish fills its highly elastic stomach with water and inflates like a rubber ball. The spherical shape can get it up to three times its normal size\, which is very effective to intimidate and drive away the enemy. In addition\, the pufferfish is considered the second most poisonous vertebrate on Earth\, and yet\, its flesh is considered a delicacy in certain parts of the world. The Tetrodotoxin is a neurotoxin 1\,200 times more deadly than cyanide\, and just two grams is enough to kill a person. \nHere’s a lesser known fact: Pufferfish are very curious and intelligent. \nThey can be taught tricks\, learn to memorize different shapes and patterns\, and recognize their owners. Many pufferfish caretakers have remarked how much they resemble small water puppies! They have also made great contributions to science being the first fish to have their whole genome sequenced. Their relatives include the great Mola mola\, the spiny porcupinefish\, and the interestingly shaped boxfish. Learning how pufferfish and relatives are “way cool” helps understand the diversity of these amazing animals\, and how to help protect them. \nAmy Liu is a self-proclaimed pufferfish (family Tetraodontiformes) enthusiast\, and a masters student studying fishes and genetics at The University of British Columbia. She has worked with various organizations in science outreach such as the Vancouver Aquarium\, Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology\, and Parks Canada.

SUMMARY:Keystone Symposia: Tissue Organoids as Models of Host Physiology and Pathophysiology of Disease
DESCRIPTION:Tissue organoids are becoming an increasingly sophisticated experimental system that is of importance in investigative work on nearly every organ system. There has been a recent explosion of techniques and platforms that enable dissection of fundamental questions\, modeling cellular alterations in disease states and screening of compounds and molecules to discover new pathways. Fundamental work into organoid properties has developed the potential of organoids to become new methods for diagnosis\, therapeutic selection and even to serve as regenerative medicine therapeutics themselves. This conference will bring together experts in organoids from various tissues and will create valuable cross-fertilization of ideas and approaches that will benefit many fields. A major gap is that this technology is being siloed in areas of specific tissues and molecular pathways. A general conference that cuts across all organs and major utilities will be of high value and will encourage groups to share ideas across organ systems. The conference program will also include engineering approaches that will highlight novel developments in organoid technology. As a result of this conference\, it is anticipated that participants will have a much better understanding of the capabilities of organoid systems and see new avenues for exploration. This conference is designed to emphasize synthesis over reductionism. An additional aim of this conference is to help investigators make the connection to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic tools using organoids.

SUMMARY:Between Science and Mythology: The World of Bollywood Science Fiction Film
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 6pm and talk begins at 7pm. Between 6-7pm\, join us in a set of interactive\, hands-on activities and scientific demonstrations related to the presentation! \nDate: Monday\, January 20\, 2020 \nTalk: Between Science and Mythology: The World of Bollywood Science Fiction Film \nSpeaker: Dr. Asma Sayed\, English\n \nAbstract: Science fiction\, generally recognized as a genre that developed in the late 19th century\, usually deals with contemporary social anxieties\, and provides a commentary on the issues that we face in our day-to-day lives. The fictional or imagined world is made credible through a variety of real/unreal scientific theories or pseudo-science. In the West\, SF films have been extremely popular. However\, Indian films do not have significant representation in the SF genre. Hollywood style SF films have not appealed much to the Indian audiences which are all too used to formulaic musicals. Nonetheless\, there have been some interesting developments in the field in the last decade. Taking some of the contemporary Hindi science fiction films\, especially Ra.One\, a 2011 mega-technology cyberpunk film\, and PK\, an SF comedy\, as examples\, this presentation will provide an overview of the development of science fiction film in India and open a discussion about the role cinema can play\, if any\, in raising awareness about ethical use of science and in bringing change to our modern social order. \nThe KPU-Science World Speaker Series is a partnership developed between KPU and Science World that supports the expansion of science in our communities. Join us for our fifth season of talks that work to engage\, entertain and educate guests with fascinating insights into the world of science.

SUMMARY:Between Science and Mythology: The World of Bollywood Science Fiction Film
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 6pm and talk begins at 7pm. Between 6-7pm\, join us in a set of interactive\, hands-on activities and scientific demonstrations related to the presentation! \nDate: Monday\, January 20\, 2020 \nTalk: Between Science and Mythology: The World of Bollywood Science Fiction Film \nSpeaker: Dr. Asma Sayed\, English\n \nAbstract: Science fiction\, generally recognized as a genre that developed in the late 19th century\, usually deals with contemporary social anxieties\, and provides a commentary on the issues that we face in our day-to-day lives. The fictional or imagined world is made credible through a variety of real/unreal scientific theories or pseudo-science. In the West\, SF films have been extremely popular. However\, Indian films do not have significant representation in the SF genre. Hollywood style SF films have not appealed much to the Indian audiences which are all too used to formulaic musicals. Nonetheless\, there have been some interesting developments in the field in the last decade. Taking some of the contemporary Hindi science fiction films\, especially Ra.One\, a 2011 mega-technology cyberpunk film\, and PK\, an SF comedy\, as examples\, this presentation will provide an overview of the development of science fiction film in India and open a discussion about the role cinema can play\, if any\, in raising awareness about ethical use of science and in bringing change to our modern social order. \nThe KPU-Science World Speaker Series is a partnership developed between KPU and Science World that supports the expansion of science in our communities. Join us for our fifth season of talks that work to engage\, entertain and educate guests with fascinating insights into the world of science.
