Bird Flight and Migration
Prof. Lorna Gibson
Enrollment: Limited: First come, first served (no advance sign-up)
Attendance: Participants welcome at individual sessions
Prof. Lorna Gibson will give two talks on How Birds Fly (January 30, 1-2pm) and Bird Migration (January 31, 1-2pm).

Here, we will explore recent work in evolutionary computation and theoretical biology modeling the processes of evolution. Namely, we will focus on these broad questions:
This course will include readings and ~30 minute lectures introducing general topics of interest such as evolutionary processes in the context of learning theory, what evolution can add to learning theory, evolvability and learning-to-learn, and complexification. The intention is to spark conversation about the role evolution plays in learning, how it can be further characterized or replicated in machines, and whether it is of interest or use to explore potential projects that build or expand on this recent work.

Jan/31 | Thu | 10:00AM-12:00PM | 14N-132 |
Enrollment: Limited: Advance sign-up required
Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) is a freely available tool developed at the Broad Institute that analyzes the distribution of gene sets in the context of gene expression experiments. Thousands functionally associated, positionally related or otherwise linked gene sets are annotated in the Broad Institute’s MsigDb collections and are available for testing. In addition, custom gene sets can be created and tested according to researches needs. In this IAP, the rationale for GSEA will be reviewed and hands-on instruction in input data setup, execution of analyses and assembly and interpretation of results will be provided. The single-sample GSEA variant will be demonstrated and the application of GSEA to different data types will be discussed. Example datasets will be provided but attendees are encouraged to bring their own data.
Eligibility: MIT researchers affiliated with the Koch Institute, the Biology Department, the Center for Environmental Health Sciences or the Department of Biological Engineering.

Biotechnology and science are often thought of as abstract ideas, but where they take place has long lasting consequences for how innovation and invention occur. In the last forty years Kendall Square has become the epicenter of Boston's booming biotechnology sector. However, in 1978 conditions looked far less auspicious-- Kendall Square was in industrial decline and the development of biotechnology faced strenuous local opposition. The rise of the biotechnology industry required not only new ideas but new ways of financing companies, recruiting scientists, and developing real estate. By moving through Kendall Square and MIT, we will view some of the sites where biotech history was made, explore the ingredients of Kendall Square's success, and whether it can continue. Since this will be an outdoor tour in January, we will consider these themes over two hot chocolate/coffee breaks at local cafes.

Jan/29 | Tue | 10:00AM-04:00PM | 46-6011 |
Enrollment: Limited: Advance sign-up required
Boris Konrad, one of the world's top memory competitors and a PhD in
Neuroscience, will offer a unique workshop that will transform your memory
in one day. During this five hour workshop, Boris will take you through
classic "Method of Loci" memory training step by step until you have built
up enough mental infrastructure to memorize by yourself fifty random
items. The workshop is free and only requires the attention of the
participants. As you will be asked during various portions of the
workshop to break up into smaller groups for more individualized
instruction.
About the Workshop Leader: Dr. Boris Konrad is a renowned memory expert,
author, trainer, and competitor. He has held several world records for
feats of memorization, including the "name and face" category where he
learned the names associated with 201 faces in 15 minutes. Most recently,
he finished 6th at the World Memory Cahmpionship in Vienna. He obtained
his PhD at Donders University in the Netherlands and is a co-author of a
2017 Neuron paper entitled: "Mnemonic Training Reshapes Brain Networks to
Support Superior Memory".

Three speakers will discuss the impact of memory training on brain function from a variety of different perspectives. Martin Dresler is an assistant professor of cognitive neuroscience at the Donders Institute in the Netherlands, and further affiliated to the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry, Munich. He will speak about changes in functional connectivity that take place in the brains of memory experts and naive individuals who are in the process of learning to employ the techniques. Boris Konrad is the only individual to have been both a world memory record holder and a PhD in neuroscience. He will discuss experiments he has performed on the degree to which enhanced memory function transfers to other cognitive capacities. Finally, the man who arguably possesses the greatest long-term memory in the world, Jim Karol, will speak on some of his personal experiences in transforming his memory from the rudimentary to the phenomenal in the last 15 years of his life. Specific attention will be focused on his emphasis at long-term memory and how memory can be transformed into knowledge.

Novel therapeutic platforms usually go through the phases of initial enthusiasm, followed by a trough of disappointment to meet the initial hype, and then after years of solving the technical challenges, commercial clinical success is achieved.
Nucleic acids drugs targeting RNA and the genome provide excellent examples of these cycles.
Tod Woolf (MIT Technology Licensing Office) will describe the work of his biotech teams and other biotechs in the area of antisense, RNAi, and therapeutic editing that reflect phases of these boom bust cycles, with an emphasis on how chemical modification of nucleic acid drugs contributed to the enablement of nucleic acid therapeutic platforms.

When Nutrition Collides with Today's Technology
Joanne Keene Kelleher, Emeritus Prof of Physiology George Washington U Medical Sch
Enrollment: Unlimited: No advance sign-up
Attendance: Participants welcome at individual sessions
Prereq: A course in biochemistry useful but not required
Human Nutrition today is best approached as a complex field distinguished by many emergent properties. To advance this field, researchers educated to deal with complexity will be essential. Yet, Nutrition is underrepresented in career interests for talented students with new tech skills. We also note that science-based nutrition courses have been absent from the MIT curriculum for the past 30 years. It is now time to catch up.
Thi objectives of the course are:
1. To provide a background in Human Nutrition tailored for those acquiring an understanding of new technologies. Effort will be made to avoid treating nutrients only as a laundry list of isolated items. Instead, the emphasis will be on regulatory homeostatic mechanisms.
2. To provide a scientific basis for personal nutrition decisions. Are we approaching a tipping point in the US where the standard American Diet will be replaced by a Whole Food Plant Based Diet? What do the data say?
3. To highlight methodologies that may be especially relevant as nutrition research progresses. These would include stable isotope methods and metabolic models that may be coupled with “omics” data.
It is time to recognize Nutrition as a cornerstone of biological disciplines empowered to improve human health. Thirty years is a long absence. Join us to see what develops as we reimagine this field for a new era at MIT.
