SUMMARY:Structural Biology Special Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Mycobacteriophage structure reveals the molecular architecture for its host interaction and viral genome ejection \nRecent reports highlight the efficacy of engineered mycobacteriophages to treat non-tuberculosis mycobacterial disease. Molecular-level insights into mycobacteriophage architecture and host interactions could allow structure-guided phage engineering to increase efficacy and broaden host range\, but such information is currently unavailable. We describe the cryo-EM structure of mycobacteriophage Douge at resolutions ranging from 2.18 to 4.0 Å. Our atomic model reveals that the assembly of this 400 nm-long\, pin-shaped phage\, containing 1105 protein subunits assembled into a complete siphophage\, coated with 919 glycan-binding domains for mycobacterial cell surface interactions. Our structure also suggests a unique way of the tape measurement protein (TMP) for DNA gating mechanism. When filled with viral genome\, the channel spann ing the connector\, tail\, and baseplate is sealed by tape measure proteins\, providing a genome gating system\, and requiring limited structural changes for genome ejection upon phage–host contact. Nanometer-resolution cryo-ET snapshots of phage–host interactions show that the baseplate remains attached to the mycobacterial outer membrane during viral genome ejection. This study reveals high-resolution structural details of this mycobacteriophage and its interaction with host glycans.

SUMMARY:The 2025 Research and Innovation Marathon Relay
DESCRIPTION:Accelerating toward water security: how can we use citizen science and innovative low-cost sensor technologies? \nA world-wide marathon relay of ideas and recommendations to empower community-based water research. \nThis event will take place over a 24-hour period. The relay will start at the CUNY ASRC at 12 p.m. on June 16\, 2025. Register to attend at https://bit.ly/42SRM2n \nBuilding on the CUNY ASRC 2023 global virtual marathon\, the 2025 marathon will leverage existing networks of students\, educators\, scientists\, and citizen scientists working together to find solutions to water related issues using scientifically useful sensors monitored by community volunteers working with scientists. Framed as a debate\, the event addresses two central questions: \n\nHow can we empower and build the capacity of communities to develop science-based solutions to their water problems using GLOBE and other citizen science programs?\nHow can we leapfrog the collection and analysis of data using 3D printing\, DIY low-cost sensors\, existing open data frameworks\, and other technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI)?\n\nThe debate will consider the domains of data and information\, capacity development\, governance\, innovations\, and financing. \nSectors such as agriculture\, health and energy have a major impact on the use and quality of water. Universities can join hands in a dialogue with governmental\, civil society especially citizen science organizations\, and business stakeholders to improve this situation. Together this alliance encompasses a large diversity of perspectives and uses knowledge from a broad set of scientific disciplines. \nHow does it work? \nThe event will start on June 16\, 2025 at 12 p.m. in New York at the CUNY ASRC\, while broadcast via Zoom\, and continue online around the world until the final discussion session at 11 a.m. ET June 17\, 2025. \nAll participating institutes will be organized in region and time zone groupings. In these groups a central hub will lead the debate. The central group hub passes the debate on to the next central group hub. All sessions will take place in Zoom and are open to participants from the two time zones. \nAfter nine sessions and 24 hours\, there will be a final synthesis session during the 2025 Sustainability Research and Innovation Congress. \nThe groups and example locations are shown in the table below. \n\n\n\nNYC Day\nSession\nNYC Time (EST)\nLocal Time\n\n\nNYC (Opening)\n\n12:00 – 13:00 EST (16 June)\n\n\n\nNorth America\nUS/Canada\n12:00 – 14:00 EST (16 June)\n11:00 – 13:00 (16 June)\n\n\nNorth America\nUS/Canada/Mexico\n12:00 – 14:00 EST (16 June)\n10:00 – 12:00 (16 June)\n\n\nNorth America\nUS/Canada – Pacific Rim\n12:00 – 14:00 EST (16 June)\n9:00 – 11:00 (16 June)\n\n\nNorth America\nUS (Alaska)\n12:00 – 14:00 EST (16 June)\n8:00 – 10:00 (16 June)\n\n\nBREAK\n\n14:00 – 15:00 EST (16 June)\n\n\n\nSouth America/Caribbean\nPeru\n15:00 – 17:00 EST (16 June)\n14:00 – 16:00 (16 June)\n\n\nSouth America/Caribbean\nArgentina\n15:00 – 17:00 EST (16 June)\n16:00 – 18:00 (16 June)\n\n\nSouth America/Caribbean\nParaguay\n15:00 -17:00  EST (16 June)\n16:00 -18:00 (16 June)\n\n\nSouth America/Caribbean\nBolivia\n15:00 – 17:00 EST (16 June)\n15:00 – 17:00 (16 June)\n\n\nSouth America/Caribbean\nEast Brazil\n15:00 – 17:00 EST (16 June)\n16:00 – 18:00 (16 June)\n\n\nPacific Islands\nUS (Hawaii)\n17:00 – 19:00 EST (16 June)\n11:00 – 13:00 (16 June) \n\n\nPacific Islands\nEast Polynesia\n17:00 – 19:00 EST (16 June)\n12:00 – 14:00 (16 June) \n\n\nPacific Islands\nKiribati\n17:00 – 19:00 EST (16 June)\n9:00 – 11:00 (17 June)\n\n\nPacific Islands\nVanuatu\n17:00 – 19:00 EST (16 June)\n8:00 – 10:00 (17 June)\n\n\nPacific Islands\nGuam\n17:00 – 19:00 EST (16 June)\n7:00 – 9:00 (17 June)\n\n\nBREAK\n\n19:00 – 20:00 EST (16 June)\n\n\n\nWest Pacific Rim\nSydney\n20:00 – 22:00 EST (16 June)\n10:00 – 12:00 (17 June)\n\n\nWest Pacific Rim\nPerth\n20:00 – 22:00 EST (16 June)\n8:00 – 10:00 (17 June)\n\n\nWest Pacific Rim\nTokyo\n20:00 – 22:00 EST (16 June)\n9:00 – 11:00 (17 June)\n\n\nWest Pacific Rim\nAuckland\n20:00 – 22:00 EST (16 June)\n12:00 – 14:00 (17 June)\n\n\nSouth East Asia/China\nChina/Manila\n22:00 – 00:00 EST (16-17 June)\n10:00 – 12:00 (17 June)\n\n\nSouth East Asia/China\nBangkok\n22:00 – 00:00 EST (16-17 June)\n9:00 – 11:00  \n(17 June)\n\n\nBREAK\n\n00:00 – 1:00 EST (17 June)\n\n\n\nSouth/Central Asia\nKarachi\n1:00 – 3:00 EST (17 June)\n10:00 – 13:00 (17 June)\n\n\nSouth/Central Asia\nHyderabad\n1:00 – 3:00 EST (17 June)\n10:30 – 13:30 (17 June)\n\n\nSouth/Central Asia\nKabul\n1:00 – 3:00 EST (17 June)\n9:30 – 11:30 (17 June)\n\n\nSouth/Central Asia\nTashkent\n1:00 – 3:00 EST (17 June)\n10:00 – 12:00 (17 June)\n\n\nBREAK\n\n3:00 – 4:00 EST (17 June)\n\n\n\nMiddle East/Russia\nTehran\n4:00 – 6:00 EST (17 June)\n11:30 – 1:30 (17 June)\n\n\nMiddle East/Russia\nTel Aviv\n4:00 – 6:00 EST (17 June)\n11:00 – 13:00 (17 June)\n\n\nMiddle East/Russia\nIstanbul\n4:00 – 6:00 EST (17 June)\n11:00 – 13:00 (17 June)\n\n\nMiddle East/Russia\nMoscow\n4:00 – 6:00 EST (17 June)\n11:00 – 13:00 (17 June)\n\n\nAfrica\nAddis Ababa\n6:00 – 8:00 EST (17 June)\n13:00 – 15:00 (17 June)\n\n\nAfrica\nCape Town\n6:00 – 8:00 EST (17 June)\n12:00 – 14:00 (17 June)\n\n\nAfrica\nLagos\n6:00 – 8:00 EST (17 June)\n11:00 – 13:00 (17 June)\n\n\nBREAK\n\n8:00 – 9:00 EST (17 June)\n\n\n\nEurope\nAthens\n9:00 – 11:00 EST (17 June)\n16:00 – 18:00 (17 June)\n\n\nEurope\nParis\n9:00 – 11:00 EST (17 June)\n15:00 – 17:00 (17 June)\n\n\nEurope\nLondon\n9:00 – 11:00 EST (17 June)\n14:00 – 16:00 (17 June)\n\n\nEurope\nReykjavik\n9:00 – 11:00 EST (17 June)\n13:00 – 15:00 (17 June)\n\n\nChicago (Closing)\n\n11:00 – 12:00 EST (17 June)\n11:00 – 12:00 (17 June)\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Photonics Initiative seminar: Wencan Jin
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Wencan Jin\, Auburn University \nHybrid magnon-phonon cavity realized in a magnetoelastic heterostructure\nAbstract – Strong coupling between two quantized excitations leads to a hybridized state that allows to explore new phenomena and technologies. Phononic excitations\, such as long-lived\, high-overtone acoustic waves\, can host many well-isolated modes at the same frequency. Meanwhile\, magnetic excitations or magnons in magnetically-ordered materials show frequency tunability and can strongly couple with phonons. In this study\, using the combination of analytical model\, epitaxial growth\, and spectroscopy characterization\, we design a hybrid magnon-phonon cavity based on the La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/SrTiO3 (LSMO/STO) heterostructure with magnetoelastic coupling at the interface. Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) measurements demonstrate strong coupling between the Kittel magnon of LSMO and the standing wave of transverse acoustic phonon of STO\, as evidenced by their anticrossings in the FMR spectra. Remarkably\, when the STO undergoes a cubic-to-tetragonal phase transition at TS~105 K\, the Kittel magnon of LSMO splits into three bands due to the anisotropic strains along the [100]\, [010]\, and [001] crystalline orientations\, forming a network of hybrid magnon-phonon modes that are sensitive to strain engineering. Our work highlights high-quality magnetoelastic heterostructures as a suitable material platform to implement magnon-phonon hybrids\, holding the promise of storing\, encoding\, and transducing coherent information between magnon and phonon modes. \nBio – Wencan Jin graduated from Renmin University of China in 2011. He received his Ph.D. from Columbia University in 2017. He then worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor and joined Auburn University as an Assistant Professor of Physics and Adjunct Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2019. His research focuses on optical spectroscopy (Raman\, SHG) and photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES\, XPS) studies of novel quantum materials with emphasis of ferroic orders in 2D vdW materials and complex oxides. \nThis is an in-person seminar.
