SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Seminar Series - Evo-devo is a Pop-gen Problem
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of our ongoing Tuesday Seminar Series.\n\nPreview:\nThe phenotype of an animal depends both on its own genotype and that of its mother\, who contributes the egg\, with its complex store of cytoplasmic determinants of development. Life-history evolution therefore relies jointly on heritable variation among mothers in one generation and among their offspring in the following generation. I will describe a genetic analysis of this distinctive evolutionary regime in a marine annelid\, Streblospio benedicti. These animals vary heritably in their development: some females make large eggs that develop directly into benthic juveniles\, and others make small eggs that develop into planktonic larvae. This dichotomy is one of the most characteristic patterns in marine macroevolution\, and our studies provide the first insight into its quantitative- and population-genetic and genomic basis. Genetic and ecological models that incorporate results from our experimental work show that the evolution of early developmental processes is constrained by their unique mode of inheritance.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Scent from Afar: Aromatics\, Healing\, and the Making of Olfactory Knowledge in Tang and Song China
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom. Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/QqyjD\n\nAmong the rich variety of substances that flowed into Middle Period China\, aromatics (Chi. xiang) figured prominently\, including saffron from Kashmir\, camphor from Sumatra\, and frankincense from Arabia. Introduced by envoys\, monks\, and traders via both overland and maritime routes\, these fragrant materials acquired diverse virtues in Chinese medical\, religious\, and culinary culture. By focusing on the medicinal uses of these articles in Tang and Song China with attention to the role of smell in healing\, this talk reveals the dynamic process of producing new olfactory knowledge and sensorial experience upon cross-cultural exchange.\n   \n   Yan Liu is an associate professor in History at SUNY\, Buffalo. He specializes in the history of medicine in premodern China\, with a focus on material practices of medicine\, religious healing\, the history of the senses\, and the global circulation of knowledge. His first book\, \"Healing with Poisons: Potent Medicines in Medieval China\,\" was published by the University of Washington Press in 2021 (open access available)\, and won the 2023 William H. Welch Medal from the American Association for the History of Medicine. His second book explores a transcultural history of aromatics and the production of olfactory knowledge in Tang and Song China.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
