Measuring Lightspeed, a History: How Einstein Abolished the Aether
Apr 18, 2019 4:00pm | Event
Bateman Physical Sciences Center, F Wing 101
John Spence, PhD, Regents Professor, Physics Department, Associated Faculty, Biodesign Center for Applied Structural Discovery
From the ancient Greeks, through Roemer, Bradley, Fermat, Fresnel, Maxwell, Fizzeau, Foucault, Lorentz, Hertz, Michelson and Einstein, the measurement of the speed of light and the search for the Aether to provide an absolute frame of reference has been one of mankind's greatest intellectual adventures. It has had the most profound consequences (e.g., E=mc2) and...
A Stinging Tale: Arizona Scorpion Reveals an Ancient Lineage of Polyomaviruses Link
Apr 19, 2019 12:00pm | Event
Biodesign Institute, Auditorium
Kara Schmidlin, Graduate Student, Biodesign Center for Fundamental and Applied Microbiomics
Arachnids belong to the phylum Arthropoda, which is the largest phylum in the animal kingdom. Scorpions are one the oldest terrestrial arthropods with fossil records dating back 430 million years. They are venomous, predatory animals that belong to the class Arachnida. Nearly 1400 species are recognized worldwide and scorpions are found in wide range of ecosystems. To date, viruses associated with...

Laboratory Safety Training
Apr 23, 2019 9:00am | Event
Biodesign Institute, AL1-10/14
Alex Krikliwy, Manager of Research Logistics, Biodesign Facilities Department
Everyone who works in an ASU laboratory setting must complete lab safety training each year (per ASU policy), with the first session being held in person. This on-site class is part of the ASU Environmental Health and Safety department’s offerings. If you are unsure of the training you are required to take, access the training determination tool or search the course catalogue.
Design and Single Molecule Analysis of RNA Nanomachines: Building Bridges from Lab to Clinic
Apr 23, 2019 10:00am | Event
Biodesign Institute, Auditorium
Nils Walter, PhD, Francis S. Collins Collegiate Professor of Chemistry, Biophysics & Biological Chemistry, College of Literature, Science & the Arts, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
Nature and nanotechnology employ nanoscale machines that self-assemble into structures of complex architecture and functionality. Sequencing of human DNA genome reveal that it is mostly (>90%) dedicated to making its cousin molecule RNA (ribonucleic acid), while only <2% of it encodes...
Natural vs. Artificial Photosynthesis? Metabolic & Efficiency Limits of Biomass vs. Solar Fuels
Apr 24, 2019 10:30am | Event
Biodesign Institute, AL1-10/14
G. Charles Dismukes, PhD, Professor, Rutgers Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Researcher, Waksman Institute and the Biochemistry and Microbiology Department, Rutgers University, New Jersey
Can we create a Usain Bolt of photosynthesis and harness it for agriculture? Universal rules govern the efficiency of metabolic processes among all organisms in the tree-of-life, including natural photosynthesis. The latter efficiency is very low, below 1% solar to biomass conversion. This...
