SUMMARY:Exhibition:Beyond Survival
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Beyond Survival\, an exhibition of works by incarcerated artists in Michigan presented by PCAP co-founder Janie Paul and the Flint Institute of the Arts. The exhibit opens May 30th and runs through September 14th. \n\nThe pieces span nearly 30 years\, many of them having been featured in our Annual Exhibition.\n\n\"Through drawings\, paintings\, and sculptures made with simple materials\, artists expose the harsh realities of incarceration while imagining life beyond prison. These works reveal a longing for home and family\, joy and beauty\, connections to nature\, flights of the imagination\, and journeys toward freedom—acts of creation made despite and in direct response to carceral conditions.\"

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Student Dissertation Defense - Divergence in Gene Expression Plasticity
DESCRIPTION:Defense Preview:\nOrganisms respond to shifts in their environment by changing the abundance of different mRNA transcripts in their cells\, a process called \"gene expression plasticity\". We understand that gene expression plasticity itself can evolve---the same environmental shift can cause different patterns of gene expression plasticity in different genetic backgrounds. We don't\, however\, know much about how gene expression plasticity tends to evolve. Is divergence in gene expression plasticity common between closely related species? Are certain genes more or less likely to experience evolutionary changes to their patterns of expression plasticity? In this dissertation defense\, I characterize gene expression plasticity divergence in two yeast species: the baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and one of its closest related species\, Saccharomyces paradoxus. To describe the extent of gene expression plasticity divergence\, I cluster gene expression responses to six different environments. I find that each of the six environments identifies a unique set of at least 100 genes that have diverged in gene expression plasticity. Interestingly\, the genes most likely to experience this expression plasticity divergence are the genes with the fewest connections in the regulatory network. My work demonstrates that different environments can reveal hidden dimensions of molecular evolution\, and that network connectivity is associated with more robust expression plasticity over evolutionary time.
