SUMMARY:Science Slam: Came in Like a Slam-ing Ball
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the wonder of Science Slam!\n\nWe are Vancouver’s most epic science showdown. Sit back\, relax\, and watch as our competitors battle to achieve science communication fame and glory while learning something new in to kick off the fall season.\n\nWhat exactly is a science slam? Based on the format of a poetry slam\, a science slam is a competition where speakers gather to share their science with you – the audience. Competitors have five minutes to present on any science topic without the use of a slideshow and are judged based on communication skills\, audience impact and scientific content. Props and creative presentation styles are encouraged — no slides!\n\nWe are looking for Slammers!\nInterested in participating? Fill out our application form here: https://forms.gle/k23AayoUDNGjg95L8\n\nEnjoy improv? While the Slam scores are being tabulated\, members of our audience are welcome to come on stage and participate in a fun\, improv show very loosely inspired by science. \nDoors open at 7pm\, event begins at 7:30pm. \n\nSee you there!\n\nNotes:\nThe venue is wheelchair accessible. The main cabaret room is accessible through a ramped entrance. We also have a wheelchair accessible washroom in the space as well.\nVenue is a 19+ venue with non-gendered bathrooms.\nThere will be photography and short videos taken throughout the event for promotional purposes.\nScience Slam acknowledges that this event takes place on the traditional\, ancestral\, and unceded territory of the Squamish\, Musqueam\, and Tsleil Waututh Nation. Many of our attendees\, Science Slam included\, are guests of these territories and must act accordingly.\nScience Slam is an inclusive event\, as a result hate speech and abuse will not be tolerated.

SUMMARY:Dr. Ami Citri: New Behavioral Analysis Tools Elucidate Neural Circuits for Spontaneous Actions
DESCRIPTION:I will describe unpublished work describing the development of a new deep-learning approach for comprehensive annotation of mouse behavior directly from raw video feeds. I will further describe the use of this approach for analysis of neural activity within basal ganglia circuits for control over action selection\, primarily in the context of spontaneous and compulsive actions in freely-behaving mice. Our results support a significant revision of the canonical model of the role of the basal ganglia in action selection.
