SUMMARY:The Emergence of General AI for Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Large language models\, such as GPT-4 and later more powerful ones\, have emerged as powerful new tools for information work\, particularly when coupled with chat interfaces as in ChatGPT. These systems are demonstrating impressive capabilities across many domains\, and they have the potential to improve health-care delivery and accelerate medical science. In this talk\, we will present the results of our intensive year-long study exploring the benefits and risks of applying these systems to medicine. Our findings indicate that these systems may be the most significant technological advance in health care and medicine to date\, despite receiving no specialized training in the field. We will showcase examples of how general AI can be used in health care and medicine\, and then discuss the implications for the future as these systems continue to evolve\, becoming increasingly more intelligent and capable. \nDr. Peter Lee is Corporate Vice President\, Research and Incubations\, at Microsoft. He leads Microsoft Research across its nine laboratories around the world. He also oversees several incubation teams for new research-powered lines of business\, the largest of which today is Microsoft’s growing healthcare and life sciences effort. Dr. Lee has extensive experience in managing fundamental research to commercial impact in a range of areas\, spanning artificial intelligence\, to quantum computing\, to biotechnology\, and more. Before joining Microsoft in 2010\, he was at DARPA\, where he established a new technology office that created operational capabilities in machine learning\, data science\, and computational social science. From 1987 to 2005 he was a Professor at Carnegie Mellon University\, and from 2005 to 2008 the Head of the university’s computer science department. Today\, in addition to his management responsibilities\, Dr. Lee speaks and writes widely on technology trends and policies. He is a member of the National Academy of Medicine. He serves on the Boards of Directors of the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence\, the Brotman Baty Institute for Precision Medicine\, and the Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine. In public service\, Dr. Lee was a commissioner on President Obama’s Commission on Enhancing National Cybersecurity and led several studies for both PCAST and the National Academies on the impact of federal research investments on economic growth. He has testified before both the US House Science and Technology Committee and the US Senate Commerce Committee.

SUMMARY:PNRI's Science Matters Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Joris Vermeesch\, PhD\, Professor\, Laboratory of Cytogenetics and Genome Research\, Department of Human Genetics\, Faculty of Medicine\, KU Leuven\, Belgium will discuss how he and his lab developed novel genomic approaches to genotype\, haplotype and transcript profile single cells. Concurrent haplotyping and copy number analyses has not only uncovered the range but also an unexpected pervasive incidence of chromosomal anomalies in both zygotes\, cleavage stage embryos\, blastocysts and placenta. Monitoring the frequency of different chromosomes as well as the parental origin of the rearrangements during embryonic and fetal development has provided fundamental novel insights in genome biology. Dr. Vermeesch will present an overview of their recent findings in the scope and the origins of (segmental) chromosomal aneuploidies.

SUMMARY:UW Engage Science 2023
DESCRIPTION:UW Engage Science sees a future where every graduate student has access to science communication training\, and therefore good science communication becomes the norm. The outcome is an increased public trust and positive attitude toward science\, ultimately strengthening the connection between the public and scientists. Join us for a look at the forefront of research in our region and meet the students who are leading the latest wave of scientific discovery. \nMegan Gialluca: Using water to aid the search for life in the universe \nAt present\, we are closer than ever to answering the age-old question: “Are we alone in the universe?” For the first time\, new and upcoming telescopes will have the capability to search for the signs of alien life on planets in other solar systems (termed exoplanets). From plants to technology to oxygen\, there are lots of things that could tell us alien life is living on a planet\, but searching for these clues is challenging. During this talk\, you will learn about the signs of alien life scientists search for\, the methods they are using to do it\, and the challenges they face along the way. \nMegan Gialluca studies massive water loss on planets in other solar systems (termed exoplanets). This process can turn a potentially habitable planet\, like Earth\, into a burning hot\, waterless environment\, like Venus. Understanding whether or not a planet has undergone this process informs scientists on where to search for alien life in the universe\, and what the clues we should look for are. \nAbi Elerding: The science of motivation and the function of dopamine in the human brain \nDopamine is critical for many brain functions; it aids in our movement\, motivates us to pursue our goals\, and reinforces our inclination to pursue life’s many pleasures. Proper regulation of dopamine is essential since abnormalities in dopamine activity can contribute to the development of conditions such as Parkinson’s disease\, ADHD\, schizophrenia\, and substance-use disorder. GABA is a brain chemical that acts as a natural brake on the activity of dopamine neurons\, helping to regulate their function. Abi Elerding’s research focuses on understanding how GABA interacts with dopamine and its role in motivation and learning. These findings could pave the way for new treatment strategies for disorders associated with abnormal dopamine activity. \nAbi Elerding is a Ph.D. student at the University of Washington working to identify and isolate neuronal cell systems that guide behavior in health and disease. \nEmma Scalisi: How fishermen’s local knowledge can be used to improve policy \nCommercial fisheries are important to people around the world for many reasons\, including jobs\, food security\, and culture. However\, with pressures from both fishing and climate change stressors\, many fish populations are currently declining. Fortunately\, there are many people who care deeply about protecting these resources\, including the fishermen who rely on them. This talk includes how and why knowledge from fishermen can help promote sustainable practices within fisheries\, along with the difficulties of putting this into practice. \nEmma Scalisi is a graduate student at the University of Washington’s School of Marine and Environmental Affairs\, where her research examines the relationships between small-scale commercial fishers and fisheries management agencies in Alaska. She wants to know how fish and people can benefit from listening to both scientists and fishermen.

DESCRIPTION:UW Engage Science sees a future where every graduate student has access to science communication training\, and therefore good science communication becomes the norm. The outcome is an increased public trust and positive attitude toward science\, ultimately strengthening the connection between the public and scientists. Join us for a look at the forefront of research in our region and meet the students who are leading the latest wave of scientific discovery. \n\nRisa Takenaka: What fluorescent fruit flies can teach us about DNA packaging \nIn living things from humans to single-celled budding yeasts\, proteins called histones spool and organize DNA. Given this important task\, histones\, and things that interact with histones\, are expected to stay very similar among different living things\, much like the essential parts of electronics (e.g.\, touchscreens on cell phones are optional\, but batteries are not). However\, a gene that suppresses the production of histones – an essential component that should be acting like cell phone batteries – is changing faster than expected among different species of fruit flies. Risa’s research aims to uncover the consequences of this change\, and how much change can be tolerated before the gene becomes too different to perform the task at hand. Understanding this process can help us decipher the kinds of changes in essential genes that are simply suboptimal\, and those that could result in disease or death. \nRisa Takenaka is a graduate student in the Molecular and Cellular Biology program at the University of Washington and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. As an ecologist-turned-molecular-biologist\, Risa is interested in understanding how evolutionary pressures have affected\, and continue to affect\, living things from fruit flies to humans at the genomic level. \nLucy Bowser: Using fisheries to improve global marine life protection \nThe wide diversity of marine life supports healthy ocean ecosystems which in turn provides us with lots of delicious seafood. However\, due to numerous threats\, the diversity of marine life is declining. The question then becomes: how do we balance the need to protect marine life with the need to fish? The answer may lie with certain fishermen who use fishing practices that focus on entire ecosystems\, not just the fish themselves. These ecosystem-focused practices strive to safeguard both marine life and peoples’ livelihoods and may just be the solution the ocean needs. \nLucy Bowser is a graduate student in the School of Marine and Environmental Affairs at the University of Washington. She works on a project that highlights how fishermen protect the diversity of marine life\, a crucial component of healthy oceans and a healthy planet. \nElizabeth Bonner: Blood cancer – how good blood goes bad with age \nImagine if your blood wasn’t very good at its job — it didn’t carry oxygen\, fight infections\, or clot very well. It would make going about your daily life very difficult. Well\, for certain elderly individuals\, this is their reality. As some people age\, they develop errors in the DNA of their blood-producing cells\, turning them into cancer cells— they no longer produce blood cells effectively. But how do these errors in DNA prevent blood cell formation and is there a way to treat these bad blood producers? Elizabeth Bonner is working to understand how one specific error turns good blood bad\, with the goal of developing effective treatments targeting blood cancer cells. \nElizabeth Bonner is a Ph.D. student studying age-related blood cancers at Fred Hutchison Cancer Center through the University of Washington’s Molecular and Cellular Biology Program. Bonner studies the most frequent mutation found in a group of age-related blood cancers\, collectively called myelodysplastic syndromes\, to understand how this mutation disrupts the production of blood cells.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Neuroscience 2023
DESCRIPTION:Most of us take for granted that the brain and its 86 billion neurons quietly goes about the business of being “you” without much fuss. It senses the environment\, coordinates movement\, processes thoughts\, stores and recalls memories\, and replays one song over and over and over again. \nAn Evening with Neuroscience is a celebration of that remarkable brain in your head. This event is an opportunity for the public to engage directly with the expansive\, interdisciplinary field of neuroscience. We invite researchers\, psychologists\, and clinicians to discuss up-and-coming research\, dispel myths\, answer your questions submitted prior to the event\, and share a few brainy laughs with the public. We also have a variety of fun games and activities for you\, so that you can test your brain about brains! EVERYONE is invited to participate. \nSo\, come join us for an informal\, casual\, and fun opportunity to learn about neuroscience. EVERYONE is invited – no neuroscience background needed! Strike up a conversation\, ask a question\, and learn more about the “mush between your ears!” \nEWN 2023 is set to take place from 6-9 PM on Friday\, May 5\, 2023\, in a hybrid format. The in-person event will take place in Kane Hall Room 130 (the Roethke Auditorium)\, and the event will also be livestreamed to YouTube. Below is a rough schedule: \n6:00 – 7:00 PM: Pre-Panel Events: human brain demonstration\, art gallery\, and interactive neurotechnology showcase\n7:00 – 7:15 PM: Seating and Introduction\n7:15 – 7:55 PM: Panel Discussion\n7:55 – 8:05 PM: Intermission\n8:00 – 9:00 PM: Live Q&A \nA food truck will be available on Red Square outside Kane Hall before the event\, during intermission\, and after the event! \nThis year\, we aim to establish a wider online presence with a focus on expanding beyond the Seattle area and reaching those with the least access to neuroscience education. More information regarding in-person and online accessibility is located on the Access page. If you have suggestions for how we can improve our event’s accessibility\, or would like to request a specific accommodation\, please do so here. \nRead up about our distinguished speakers here! \nThank you to everyone who attended EWN 2022!
