SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: W. Seth Childers\, University of Pittsburgh
DESCRIPTION:Join us February 23rd at 12pm for a one-hour talk presented by W. Seth Childers\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Chemistry\, University of Pittsburgh\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, titled: \nBiomolecular condensates as organizers of biochemistry in bacteria \nAbstract- One defining difference between bacteria and eukaryotes is the absence of membrane-bound organelles in bacteria. Recently\, a second fundamental compartmentalization strategy in eukaryotes has been recognized that relies upon phase separation of scaffolding proteins. These assemblies lack a membrane barrier but can organize and sequester biochemistry as a “membraneless organelle.” Here\, we will describe our discoveries of how biomolecular condensates organize and regulate mRNA decay and signal transduction processes in bacteria. Overall\, our discoveries combined with those from other labs suggest a new image of bacteria as a “bag of biomolecular condensates.” One significant challenge in cell biology is understanding if these membraneless organelles have any functional significance? Towards this goal\, the Childers lab has characterized how phase separation impacts ribonuclease and kinase enzyme kinetics in vitro. They found that activation of a signaling protein’s function was coupled to phase separation of the signaling complex\, which may present a generalizable way to regulate low copy signaling in cells in an all-or-none fashion. To consider the function of biomolecular condensates in vivo\, the Childers lab has developed a fluorescence biosensor imaging strategy that visualized how membraneless organelles impact the structure of a bacterial signaling protein critical for asymmetric cell division in Caulobacter crescentus. Finally\, the Childers lab applied a chemical genetics approach to interrogate the importance of phase separation towards bacterial physiology. They identified a small molecule that inhibits phase separation of an essential bacterial biomolecular condensate that regulates chromosome segregation. In summary\, our studies suggest that phase separation provides bacteria with a generalizable compartmentalization strategy\, and disruption of phase separation may present an actionable antibiotic target. \n  \nThis seminar will be presented via Zoom\, the broadcast can also be viewed in the ASRC Auditorium. \nTo join these ongoing events\, the zoom link can also be found below: \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nMeeting ID: 495 404 8198 \nFor more information about this hybrid event please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:CUNY STEM Opportunities for Mastering Science Outreach
DESCRIPTION:CUNY STEM Opportunities for Mastering Science Outreach \nIn popular culture\, nearly all the focus is placed on the research part of scientists’ work. But the efforts scientists make to engage the public\, creating an interest in and support for the field\, is critical to the STEM pipeline and ensuring that research addresses social priorities.  \nJoin us at 2 p.m. on Friday\, Feb. 25 for our next Communicating Your Science event where we will explore opportunities for engaging in and mastering science outreach. The panel will be led by Kendra Krueger (4loveandscience.com)\, the CUNY ASRC’s STEM Outreach and Education Manager and founder of the Community Sensor Lab\, and will feature other special guests. Krueger has a BS and MS in electrical engineering and has worked as an educator\, artist and community organizer.  \nThere will be time for Q&A.  \nSign-up today for this month’s Communicating Your Science event and check out the new Graduate Center Science Communications Academy webpage\, where you can learn about our events and access science communications training tools.

SUMMARY:Photonics Seminar: Kiyoul Yang\, Stanford University
DESCRIPTION:Title: Building photonic systems for extreme-scale computing\, particle accelerations\, and\nbeyond \nAbstract – A photonic-electronic system can potentially process enormous amounts of data that no stand-alone electronics have been capable of. Furthermore\, a chip-scale optical atomic clock can be so precise that it only loses the equivalent of one second every million years. In the foreseeable future\, highly integrated photonics can usher disruptive advances in communications\, deep learning\, and atomic-photonic integration. \n  \nTo realize this vision\, my research has built multi-levels of the photonic system stacks from discrete nanophotonic devices\, all the way to creating advanced system-level demonstrations. In this talk\, I will introduce recent experiments where we demonstrate natively error-free terabit/s data transmission using integrated frequency combs and multi-dimensional silicon photonics circuits [1]. The frequency comb device transduces a narrow linewidth laser into a series of replicas over hundreds of frequency modes [2]. We employed photonic inverse design for wavelength and spatial multiplexing to enable bandwidth density on silicon photonic circuits to be three orders of magnitude higher than that of optical fibers. \n  \nI will conclude my talk with applications and prospects for large-scale photonic systems that can manipulate atoms\, ions\, and free electrons\, along with preliminary studies on UV-visible nonlinear optics and laser particle accelerations on a chip [3]. \n  \n[1] K.Yang\, et al.\, arXiv: 2103.14139 (2021). \n[2] K.Yang\, et al.\, Nature Photonics 12\, 297 – 302 (2018); M.Guidry*\, D.Lukin*\, K.Yang*\, et al.\, Nature Photonics 16\, 52 – 58 (2022). \n[3] D.Oh*\, K.Yang*\, et al.\, Nature Communications 8\, 13922 (2017); N.Sapra\, K.Yang\, et al.\, Science 367\, 79 – 83 (2020). \n  \nBio – Kiyoul Yang is a research scientist at Stanford University working with Prof. Jelena Vuckovic\, and holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology (2018). He is a recipient of the Paul F. Forman Team Engineering Excellence Award (2020) for the 2-photon optical clock collaboration. He serves as a vice-chair of the technical program committee of IEEE Photonics Conference\, and a co-editor for the special issue of ACS Photonics. \n  \nFor more information about this hybrid event\, please contact: \nDiana Strickland \nPhotonics Initiative \ndstrickland@gc.cuny.edu \nZoom Access>>> \nMeeting ID: 821 0040 3904 \nPasscode: 892411
