SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:How Subsidies Affect Contraceptive Use Among Low-Income Women in the U.S.: The M-CARES Randomized Control Trial
DESCRIPTION:Contact PSC Office for Zoom details.\n\n\nThis paper examines how subsidies affect the use of contraceptives among low-income women seeking reproductive health care in the U.S. Study participants were randomized to receive vouchers for contraception\, covering up to 50% or 100% of the lowest-cost\, available long-acting\, reversible contraceptive method (LARC). Women’s choice of method is highly sensitive to price\, with the elasticity of LARC take-up ranging from -2.3 to -3.4. The findings imply that a U.S. policy eliminating out-of-pocket costs for Title X women would reduce pregnancies by 5.4%\, birth rates by 3.5%\, and abortions by 8.1% and save $2.48 billion annually in public expenditures.  \n\nBIO: Vanessa Wanner Lang received her Ph.D. in Sociology from Bowling Green State University in 2019. She joined the Population Studies Center at the University of Michigan in 2019 as the project manager for the Michigan Contraceptive Access\, Research\, and Evaluation Study (M-CARES). Dr. Lang was trained as a family demographer and sociologist and has research interests in fertility\, work and family\, parent and child relationships\, gender\, and well-being. One line of her research centers on studying fertility behaviors with a specific focus on unintended childbearing in the United States and the policy implications surrounding access to contraception for women and children’s outcomes. Another line of her research focuses on understanding the changing roles and responsibilities of women and men in the spheres of paid work and family and how these are associated with the well-being of both couples and individuals.\n\n\nPSC Brown Bag seminars highlight recent research in population studies and serve as a focal point for building our research community.\n\nContact PSC Office for Zoom details.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Seminar: Lindsay M. LaFave\, Ph.D.\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nA key feature of cancer development is the loss of gene regulatory programs that govern normal cellular identity\; however\, these disrupted regulatory landscapes\, or epigenomic states\, are not well understood. To study epigenomic state changes in the natural evolution of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD)\, I utilized the well-established KrasG12D/+p53-/- (KP) murine model of LUAD progression. Using an optimized single-cell ATAC-sequencing approach with combinatorial indexing\, I profiled the chromatin accessibility states of individual KP tumors\, metastases\, and normal lungs. Strikingly\, we identified expansive epigenomic heterogeneity across cancer progression\; yet\, these cell states followed reproducible trajectories across individual tumors—suggesting conserved paths toward metastasis. We utilized computational tools to identify 11 discernable states across LUAD cancer progression characterized by transcription factor (TF) regulators and downstream regulated genes. These analyses led to the identification of a late-stage program associated with progressive RUNX2 activation and adverse survival in human patients. Together\, these results demonstrated the utility of single-cell epigenomics to identify TF-driven regulatory programs as key biomarkers of cancer progression. My ongoing work leverages evolving epigenomic technologies in murine and organoid systems to understand the overarching mechanisms dictating altered chromatin state in cancer.\n\nSpeaker:\nLindsay M. LaFave is a cancer biologist with a long-standing interest in studying chromatin biology. Lindsay completed her B.S. in biochemistry at the University of Michigan in 2009. She received her Ph.D. in Cancer Biology at Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School in New York City in 2015. Her graduate research in Ross Levine’s lab at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center focused on studying the role of mutated chromatin modifying proteins in hematopoietic malignancies. For her postdoctoral training\, she continued to study epigenetic mechanisms of cancer progression\, shifting her primary focus to solid tumors. Lindsay is a current Damon Runyon postdoctoral fellow in the labs of Tyler Jacks at MIT and Jason Buenrostro at Harvard University. Her work leverages murine modeling and single-cell epigenomic technologies to understand cell state changes that occur during cancer progression in lung adenocarcinoma. During her postdoctoral training\, Lindsay identified a diverse repertoire of gene regulatory changes important in cancer progression that were associated with altered cellular identity and the emergence of pre-metastatic gene programs. Her independent research group will utilize evolving epigenomic technologies and cancer models to dissect chromatin-mediated mechanisms driving lung cancer.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Godspell
DESCRIPTION:Department of Musical Theatre\n\nBroadway actor Telly Leung directs for the first time as he leads the Musical Theatre students in this fresh interpretation of this iconic show. Leung\, who starred in Godspell during the 2011 revival\, helped guide the cast in making the flexible script as relevant today as it was when Godspell first premiered in 1971. Featuring such showtune standards as “Turn Back\, O Man\,” “Day by Day\,” and “Learn Your Lessons Well”\, Godspell is a tribute to vaudeville\, breathing parable\, and protest piece all at the same time. Prepare ye for the Godspell you know and love from 50 years ago\, but told through the perspective of these incredible young theater-makers.\n\nFree reservations required\, visit https://myumi.ch/ovE5m
