SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Duality of interphases in batteries and catalysts revealed by cryo-EM
DESCRIPTION:Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) won the Chemistry Nobel Prize in 2017 for its ability to elucidate the molecular-scale structure of important biomolecules (e.g.\, the spike protein of COVID-19)\, which has had a transformative impact on structural biology and medicine. The Li group at UCLA is leading efforts to leverage this powerful technique to have a similar impact in the field of materials science and renewable energy. These efforts have led to significant breakthroughs in our understanding of batteries (Science 358\, 506\, 2017\; Science 375\, 66\, 2022) and electrocatalysts (Nature Energy 8\, 138\, 2023)\, which represent important clean energy technologies necessary for mitigating climate change. New insights then inform parallel efforts in materials innovations (Nature 620\, 86\, 2023) that will enable transformative technologies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - The genomic basis of environmental adaptation in house mice
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of our ongoing Thursday Seminar Series.\n\nConnecting genotype with phenotype for complex\, adaptive traits is a central goal of evolutionary biology.  House mice (Mus musculus domesticus) have recently been introduced into new environments where they have adapted through changes in morphology\, physiology\, and behavior.  We collected wild house mice across North and South America\, from 55° S latitude to 54° N latitude\, and sequenced their genomes.  We also established inbred strains of mice from diverse environments\, allowing us to study traits in a controlled laboratory environment and to conduct crosses between strains differing in traits of interest.  House mice in the Americas conform to Bergmann’s rule (larger body size farther from the equator) and Allen’s rule (shorter extremities farther from the equator).  These differences are genetically based\, although differences in the length of extremities also show considerable phenotypic plasticity when mice are reared at different temperatures.  Through a combination of genome scans for selection\, studies of gene expression in the wild and in the lab\, association studies in natural populations\, and  genetic crosses in the lab\, we have begun to identify genes and genomic patterns associated with adaptation to new environments.
