SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:From Helicases to CRISPR: How RNA Stability and Specificity Shape Biology
DESCRIPTION:The fundamental properties of the RNA double helix—high structural stability and strict base-pairing specificity—have profoundly influenced biological systems throughout evolutionary history and up to today. While the stability allows helices to serve as rigid scaffolds within structured RNAs\, it also creates significant energetic barriers to rearrangement\, necessitating RNA helicases as chaperones in RNA folding and remodeling. At the same time\, the high specificity of Watson-Crick base pairing enables RNA-guided mechanisms\, exemplified by CRISPR-Cas enzymes that leverage this specificity for DNA targeting. This talk will explore how these core biophysical properties have shaped RNA’s biological roles\, driven evolution of protein families\, and enabled modern genome-editing tools.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Newnan Info Session for LSA + School of Information Multiple Dependent Degree Program (MDDP)
DESCRIPTION:Want to learn more about earning a dual undergraduate degree between LSA and the School of Information (SI)? This session is for you\, whether you are currently an SI student or a Newnan-advised LSA student.\n\nStudents interested in exploring or declaring a dual degree between LSA and SI should attend one of these group info sessions to get started. This session will also cover instructions on how to schedule an advising appointment for more individualized support.\n\nPlease note: students arriving more than 5 minutes after the session start time will not be admitted.
