"Mapping the landscape of social behavior" | Ugne Klibaite, Ph.D
Chicago - 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
The Department of Neuroscience Welcomes Dr. Ugne Klibaite.
Postdoctoral Fellow (MBB Fellowship)
PhD in Quantitative and Computational Biology, Princeton University, 2018
BS in Biomedical Engineering, Columbia University, 2013
Social behavior is fundamental to our lives and those of animals, and social interactions are one of the most salient features of an animal’s experience of the world. However, we often lack the tools to describe these interactions with quantitative rigor or we capture only a small sliver of an animal’s social repertoire. This gap in our quantitative abilities limits our understanding of the principles underlying social behavior, as well as of the neuropsychiatric disorders, like autism, that perturb it. In this talk, I will describe our advances in capturing and quantifying social behavior. First, I will present a technique to precisely track the postures of freely interacting animals in 3D and a complementary multi-scale embedding approach I developed to identify a rich landscape of stereotyped social interactions in rodents. Applying this approach revealed shifts in social motifs across strains, disease models, and pharmacological manipulations. Performing this type of deep phenotyping on seven new monogenic rat models of autism, we found that they exhibited a spectrum of behavioral changes compared to their wild type littermates. Several of these models demonstrated consistent inter-animal social deficits and are promising candidates for modeling autism-related social phenotypes in rats. Together, this framework presents a new way to use a first-principles biophysics approach to decompose and classify the elements of complex social interactions, enabling sophisticated interrogations of social dynamics and their neurobiological underpinnings.

Chicago - 12:15 PM - 1:15 PM
Title: Thirty Years of STAT4 Play
Speaker: Mark Kaplan, PhD, Indiana University
Topic:
Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (STAT) proteins are critical mediators of cytokine-induced responses. STAT4, activated by IL-12, IL-23, and type I interferons, is required for the development of immunity to intracellular pathogens and type I inflammatory diseases. While we have a detailed understanding of how STAT4 promotes Th1 cells development, how STAT4 functions in other cell types is not well documented. This seminar will review STAT4 biology and present developing concepts for future study.
Host: M-I Dept. Immunology Postdocs and Graduate Students (Faculty: Booki Min, PhD)

Chicago - 12:15 PM - 1:15 PM
Title: Vibrio cholerae Inflammation Driven Intestinal Colonization
Speaker: Jori Orion MIlls, DGP Graduate Student, Satchell Lab
Topic:
Vibrio cholerae is the bacterium responsible for the disease cholera. The establishment and persistence of V. cholerae infection are assisted by the Multifunctional-Autoprocessing Repeats-in-Toxin (MARTX). The MARTX toxin actin crosslinking domain (ACD) triggers proinflammatory host signaling. I have explored a conserved cellular response to actin damage and implicating reactive oxygen species and IRE1 and this host response promotes colonization.

"Adolescent experience and a putative sensitive period for learning and decision making in mice" | Linda Wilbrecht, Ph.D
Chicago - 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
The Department of Neuroscience Welcomes Dr. Linda Wilbrech. Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, University of California, Berkeley
Wilbrecht earned her Ph.D. from The Rockefeller University with Fernando Nottebohm | and did postdoctoral training at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.
Title: "Adolescent experience and a putative sensitive period for learning and decision making in mice"
Abstract: There is growing interest in the concept of an ‘adolescent sensitive period,’ but this phrase can mean many things. This concept can be explored in laboratory mice by manipulating experience during development and testing behavioral or brain function in adulthood. Another approach is to compare adolescent versus adult learning and brain function to look for adolescent gain of function. In my talk, I will share what we have learned using both approaches. I then hope to engage the audience in discussion of two ideas 1) that an adolescent sensitive period may exist in rodents for learning and decision making (and fronto-basal ganglia circuit function) to support adaptive foraging behavior (Lin et al., 2020;2022) and 2) if there is/are adolescent sensitive period(s) in humans, might there be a sensitive period for goal formation that underlies the development of purpose and identity (Wilbrecht and Davidow, 2024).

Chicago - 12:15 PM - 1:15 PM
Title: Human Papillomaviruses and Cancer: Tales from the Dark Side
Topic:
Approximately 5% of all human cancers are attributed to infections by Human Papillomaviruses (HPVs). The HPV E6 and E7 proteins are the major carcinogenic drivers, and they function by subverting key signaling pathways including those governed by the p53, PTPN14, and retinoblastoma (Rb) tumor suppressor proteins. This lecture will focus on long non-coding RNAs as potential regulators of the viral life cycle and modulators of the oncogenic activities of the HPV E6 and E7 proteins

Moving Beyond CTECs: Using Feedback to Improve Your Teaching
Online - 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Student evaluations can serve a variety of purposes in the classroom: they can provide insights on students’ experiences and understanding, help students reflect on their own learning, and provide instructors insight on assessments and other teaching methods. Traditional end of term evaluations like CTECs may not serve these diverse objectives. In this workshop, we will discuss the roles that evaluations can play, analyze the effectiveness of different types of student feedback in a variety of settings, and generate ideas about how to respond to and incorporate student evaluations into our teaching. Join us for an interactive online workshop where we explore several strategies for obtaining constructive feedback from students and peers. Workshop highlights include:
- Diverse Feedback Methods: We will begin with traditional course evaluations and then move to other methods that you can use to gather meaningful insights on your teaching.
- Real-time Feedback Techniques: Learn simple strategies for obtaining feedback from students in real time during class, allowing you to make instant adjustments to your teaching.
- Peer Observations: Explore peer observation techniques to help you gain perspectives on your teaching from other supportive colleagues.
- Small Group Analysis: Discover the benefits of Small Group Analysis, a service offered by the Searle Center, where students in your class provide targeted feedback during the quarter to help you refine your teaching approach.

"Mapping the landscape of social behavior" | Ugne Klibaite, Ph.D
Chicago - 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
The Department of Neuroscience Welcomes Dr. Ugne Klibaite.
Postdoctoral Fellow (MBB Fellowship)
PhD in Quantitative and Computational Biology, Princeton University, 2018
BS in Biomedical Engineering, Columbia University, 2013
Social behavior is fundamental to our lives and those of animals, and social interactions are one of the most salient features of an animal’s experience of the world. However, we often lack the tools to describe these interactions with quantitative rigor or we capture only a small sliver of an animal’s social repertoire. This gap in our quantitative abilities limits our understanding of the principles underlying social behavior, as well as of the neuropsychiatric disorders, like autism, that perturb it. In this talk, I will describe our advances in capturing and quantifying social behavior. First, I will present a technique to precisely track the postures of freely interacting animals in 3D and a complementary multi-scale embedding approach I developed to identify a rich landscape of stereotyped social interactions in rodents. Applying this approach revealed shifts in social motifs across strains, disease models, and pharmacological manipulations. Performing this type of deep phenotyping on seven new monogenic rat models of autism, we found that they exhibited a spectrum of behavioral changes compared to their wild type littermates. Several of these models demonstrated consistent inter-animal social deficits and are promising candidates for modeling autism-related social phenotypes in rats. Together, this framework presents a new way to use a first-principles biophysics approach to decompose and classify the elements of complex social interactions, enabling sophisticated interrogations of social dynamics and their neurobiological underpinnings.

Speaker: Mark Kaplan, PhD, Indiana University
Topic:
Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (STAT) proteins are critical mediators of cytokine-induced responses. STAT4, activated by IL-12, IL-23, and type I interferons, is required for the development of immunity to intracellular pathogens and type I inflammatory diseases. While we have a detailed understanding of how STAT4 promotes Th1 cells development, how STAT4 functions in other cell types is not well documented. This seminar will review STAT4 biology and present developing concepts for future study.

Topic:
Vibrio cholerae is the bacterium responsible for the disease cholera. The establishment and persistence of V. cholerae infection are assisted by the Multifunctional-Autoprocessing Repeats-in-Toxin (MARTX). The MARTX toxin actin crosslinking domain (ACD) triggers proinflammatory host signaling. I have explored a conserved cellular response to actin damage and implicating reactive oxygen species and IRE1 and this host response promotes colonization.

Chicago - 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
The Department of Neuroscience Welcomes Dr. Linda Wilbrech. Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, University of California, Berkeley
Wilbrecht earned her Ph.D. from The Rockefeller University with Fernando Nottebohm | and did postdoctoral training at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.
Title: "Adolescent experience and a putative sensitive period for learning and decision making in mice"
Abstract: There is growing interest in the concept of an ‘adolescent sensitive period,’ but this phrase can mean many things. This concept can be explored in laboratory mice by manipulating experience during development and testing behavioral or brain function in adulthood. Another approach is to compare adolescent versus adult learning and brain function to look for adolescent gain of function. In my talk, I will share what we have learned using both approaches. I then hope to engage the audience in discussion of two ideas 1) that an adolescent sensitive period may exist in rodents for learning and decision making (and fronto-basal ganglia circuit function) to support adaptive foraging behavior (Lin et al., 2020;2022) and 2) if there is/are adolescent sensitive period(s) in humans, might there be a sensitive period for goal formation that underlies the development of purpose and identity (Wilbrecht and Davidow, 2024).

Title: Human Papillomaviruses and Cancer: Tales from the Dark Side
Topic:
Approximately 5% of all human cancers are attributed to infections by Human Papillomaviruses (HPVs). The HPV E6 and E7 proteins are the major carcinogenic drivers, and they function by subverting key signaling pathways including those governed by the p53, PTPN14, and retinoblastoma (Rb) tumor suppressor proteins. This lecture will focus on long non-coding RNAs as potential regulators of the viral life cycle and modulators of the oncogenic activities of the HPV E6 and E7 proteins

Whether you’re enthusiastic, skeptical, or curious about using generative AI tools as course building partners, we invite you to join colleagues, Searle Center educational developers, and Northwestern IT Teaching and Learning Technologies learning engineers this December for the Course Design Institute: Generative AI Edition!
Participants will experiment with using generative AI tools to craft meaningful learning outcomes, create authentic assessments aligned to those outcomes, sequence activities accordingly, and finally, construct Canvas-ready modules.
Just like the annual Summer Course Design Institute, the Generative AI Edition will guide instructors step-by-step in developing a course where they can have confidence that all enrolled students will have the opportunity to achieve the learning outcomes—no matter how rigorous or ambitious.

Moving Beyond CTECs: Using Feedback to Improve Your Teaching
Online - 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Student evaluations can serve a variety of purposes in the classroom: they can provide insights on students’ experiences and understanding, help students reflect on their own learning, and provide instructors insight on assessments and other teaching methods. Traditional end of term evaluations like CTECs may not serve these diverse objectives. In this workshop, we will discuss the roles that evaluations can play, analyze the effectiveness of different types of student feedback in a variety of settings, and generate ideas about how to respond to and incorporate student evaluations into our teaching. Join us for an interactive online workshop where we explore several strategies for obtaining constructive feedback from students and peers. Workshop highlights include:
- Diverse Feedback Methods: We will begin with traditional course evaluations and then move to other methods that you can use to gather meaningful insights on your teaching.
- Real-time Feedback Techniques: Learn simple strategies for obtaining feedback from students in real time during class, allowing you to make instant adjustments to your teaching.
- Peer Observations: Explore peer observation techniques to help you gain perspectives on your teaching from other supportive colleagues.
- Small Group Analysis: Discover the benefits of Small Group Analysis, a service offered by the Searle Center, where students in your class provide targeted feedback during the quarter to help you refine your teaching approach.
