Pulling Carbon Out of Thin Air: Strategies from Bacteria, Algae, and Plants
Julia Borden, PhD Candidate, Dept. of Molecular and Cell Biology
Carbon dioxide makes up only 0.04% of the atmosphere. So how do living organisms not only pull CO2 out of the air, but also extract enough of it to survive and grow? Bacteria, algae, and plants have developed different strategies to tackle this problem. By studying these strategies, we can inform human engineered carbon capture technologies.
From Brain to Behavior: Using Advanced Technologies to Probe Population Activity in the Brain
April Myers, Graduate Student, Vision Science Graduate Group
We live in an age where technology plays an increasingly large role in our health and daily lives. However, available treatments for many neurological and/or behavioral disorders lag far behind technology used for neurobiological research. This talk explores what approaches are necessary to bring these technological developments out of the realm of research and into patient care.
