Other Events in the Triangle
01/10 12:00 | Duke Neurobiology Invited Seminar: Lindy McBride: Evolution of odor coding and circuits in a human-biting mosquito | Link
Bryan Research 103 | 311 Research Drive
The McBride lab takes advantage of evolution in natural mosquito populations to understand the genomic and neuronal basis of behavior and the molecular mechanisms by which behaviors evolve.
01/04 16:00 | ADHD and the Path from Genes to Brain to Behavior in Autism | Link
Zoom | Link
Please join us for the next presentation in our 2022-2023 Duke Center for Autism Speaker Series! Our speaker will be John N. Constantino, M.D., a research child psychiatrist whose 30-year career has focused on the causes of social disability in childhood. After developing the Social Responsiveness Scale in the early 2000s, he and his team embarked on a systematic appraisal of patterns of inherited transmission in autism, culminating in the identification of predictors of recurrence of the condition in families which inform potential targets for early personalized intervention. Following a 13-year tenure as director of the Division of Child Psychiatry at Washington University in St. Louis, Dr. Constantino recently moved to Atlanta where he serves as professor and vice chair of the Department of Pediatrics at Emory University and the inaugural system chief for Behavioral and Mental Health at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.

Bryan Research 103 | 311 Research Drive
Kristin Branson develops machine vision and learning algorithms designed to extract scientific understanding from imaging and video data sets resulting from large-scale, neurological studies of behaving animals. Branson and her team use these high-throughput tools to address previously unanswerable questions about the brain and behavior, thereby gaining insight into nervous system function, evolution, and ethology. Their goal is to develop robust, general-purpose implementations of these algorithms that are freely available for widespread use by biologists worldwide.

01/26 00:00 | Global Environmental History and the Industrial Revolution, ca. 1780-???? | Link
Rubenstein Library Carpenter Conference Room 249 | David M. Rubenstein Rare Book and Manuscript Library
In this talk, McNeill will discuss a work in (slow) progress concerning the environmental consequences of industrialization for landscapes and seascapes around the world. Factory-scale production required mounting quantities of ores, fibers, lubricants, and other ingredients of industrialization, all of which came from somewhere. Much of it came from afar, in South America, Southeast Asia, East Africa and elsewhere. Mobilizing these ingredients of industrialization reshuffled ecologies on land and and at sea in complex ways that helped to shape the biosphere in the 21st century and beyond.
01/30 18:30 | Architecture Lecture: Sigrid Adriaenssens | Link
AIA NC Center for Architecture & Design | 14 East Peace Street, Raleigh, NC 27604
Dr. Adriaenssens’s research focuses on lightweight surface systems and how they can be optimized and realised to interact with extreme structural or environmental loading. This includes research on flexible and rigid shells and plates, submerged flexible membranes and nets, and metamaterials with applications for a resilient urban environment. The applications range from adaptive building shading devices to large-scale inflatable storm surge barriers and are sometimes inspired by systems that evolved in biology, art or architecture.
01/31 18:00 | Leveraging Your Technical Degree on the Path to the C-Suite | Link
Engineering Building II Room 1231 | 890 Oval Dr. Raleigh, NC, 27695
Abstract:Conventional wisdom tells us that ambitious business majors make their way into boardrooms and aspiring technical folks lead R&D teams, but Trisha Price’s journey from engineer to the C-suite proves that business and technology are not mutually exclusive. In fact, a strong technical background gave Price the confidence and skills to delve into functions as diverse as product, sales, customer success, and corporate expansion. Price will discuss the levers she pulled along her “jungle gym” of a career to earn a spot in the C-suite at fast-growth North Carolina companies like nCino and Pendo, providing inspiration for the next generation of NC State engineers.
