DESCRIPTION:Discovering Your Career Strengths \nThursday December 1st\, 2022\, at 3-4 pm \nVirtual via Zoom\, RSVP is required. \nWhat do you want to do after you graduate? It’s never too early to think about your career path – especially when only 14 percent of those with PhDs in science occupy tenure-track positions five years after completing their degree. \nHow to prepare for the workshop: \n1. Register for the virtual workshop: RSVP here \n2. Take the CliftonStrengths for Students Top 5\n($19.99 value\, receive it for free with a promo code when you email asrcsensorcat@gc.cuny.edu) \n After attending the workshop:\n1. Download the Career Planning Guide \n2. Make an appointment with CP&PD Office at the GC to receive a free copy of “Next Gen PhD: A Guide to Career Paths in Science” by Melanie V. Sinche \n3. Check in annually with CP&PD to update your career map \nThe series is open to all CUNY students in STEM graduate programs (PhD and Master’s). The workshops and their resources are free. RSVP is required. \n  \nNanoBioNYC offers three career tracks for students to explore: \nA) industry\, B) entrepreneurship\, C) academic/government lab. \nMore information can be found here. \nApplication for Spring 2023 cohort will open in January. \nThis event is co-organized with ASRC Sensor CAT\, a program that fosters STEM entrepreneurship\, academic-industry collaboration\, and workforce development. Find out more here.

SUMMARY:Applied Science: A Conversation about STEM Higher Education & Science Communication With Malcolm Gladwell
DESCRIPTION:Join us on December 2\, 2022 at 2 p.m. for a special “Communicating Your Science” event with Malcolm Gladwell\, New York Times best-selling author\, social commentator and host of the podcast Revisionist History\, where he’ll discuss the role that public higher education institutions can play in communicating science and ensuring that STEM education and research data are available and accessible to all. Malcolm Gladwell’s recently released audio book\, I Hate the Ivy League: Riffs and Rants on Elite Education\, is a collection of the writer’s podcast episodes on higher education. \nDuring this insightful conversation Gladwell and CUNY Graduate Center Dean for the Sciences Josh Brumberg will discuss: \n\nThe role public higher education institutions have in making science more accessible and valuable to the public\nHow we can make STEM education and careers more accessible to underrepresented communities\nHow students and faculty at public higher education institutions should be thinking about their roles as science communicators and facilitators of STEM education access\nWhat being a reporter revealed about communicating with the public\n\nTo attend\, please register at https://bit.ly/3h7FChy There will be time for Q&A. \n\nThis event has passed.

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: How to Reduce Variables in Your In Vivo Research
DESCRIPTION:December 5th from 11:30m-12:30pm in the 1st fl Seminar Room \nHave you ever heard of the phrase\, “What you put in is what you get out?” \nYes\, we’re talking about diet! \nStandard laboratory animal diet ingredients can affect brain function\, tumor growth\, estrogen receptor binding\, and so much more. At this Lunch and Learn\, hosted by Inotiv\, you’ll learn how to make more mindful decisions from project to project on which animal diet will yield less variable\, more translatable outcomes. \nThis event will be hosted by Sabrina Ladarola\, Sales Director at Inotiv. \nFurther info. can be found at inotivco.com or by emailing asrc.event@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Tristan Bepler\, NYSBC
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Tristan Bepler\, Group Leader at the Simons Machine Learning Center\, New York Structural Biology Center\, New York\, NY\, will be presenting a one-hour talk titled: \nLearning to simultaneously locate and classify particles in cryo-electron micrographs without supervision \nABSTRACT In many imaging modalities\, objects of interest can occur in a variety of locations and poses (i.e.\, are subject to translations and rotations in 2d or 3d)\, but the location and pose of an object does not change its semantics (i.e.\, the object’s essence). That is\, the specific location and rotation of an airplane in satellite imagery\, or the 3d rotation of a chair in a natural image\, or the rotation of a particle in a cryo-electron micrograph\, do not change the intrinsic nature of those objects. Here\, we consider the problem of learning semantic representations of objects that are invariant to pose and location in a fully unsupervised manner. We address shortcomings in previous approaches to this problem by introducing TARGET-VAE\, a translation and rotation group-equivariant variational autoencoder framework. TARGET-VAE combines three core innovations: 1) a rotation and translation group-equivariant encoder architecture\, 2) a structurally disentangled distribution over latent rotation\, translation\, and a rotation-translation-invariant semantic object representation\, which are jointly inferred by the approximate inference network\, and 3) a spatially equivariant generator network. In comprehensive experiments\, we show that TARGET-VAE learns disentangled representations without supervision that significantly improve upon\, and avoid the pathologies of\, previous methods. When trained on images highly corrupted by rotation and translation\, the semantic representations learned by TARGET-VAE are similar to those learned on consistently posed objects\, dramatically improving clustering in the semantic latent space. Furthermore\, TARGET-VAE is able to perform remarkably accurate unsupervised pose and location inference. We expect methods like TARGET-VAE will underpin future approaches for unsupervised object generation\, pose prediction\, and object detection. \nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with snacks and refreshments to start at 11:30am. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom\, please use the link below: \nZoom access>>> \nFor more information about this hybrid event please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu
