SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Human Genetics Research Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, October 12\, 2026\n11:00am - 12:00pm\nLocation TBD\n\nMalia Fullerton\, DPhil\nAdjunct Professor\, Epidemiology\nProfessor\, Bioethics and Humanities\nAdjunct Professor\, Genome Sciences\nAdjunct Professor\, Medicine - Medical Genetics\nActing/Interim Center/Institute Director\, School of Public Health\nUniversity of Washington\n“Seminar Title TBD”\n\nHosted By: Wendy R. Uhlmann\, Department of Human Genetics\n___\nStephanie Malia Fullerton\, DPhil\, is Professor of Bioethics and Humanities at the University of Washington School of Medicine. She is also Adjunct Professor in the UW Departments of Epidemiology\, Genome Sciences\, and Medicine (Medical Genetics)\, as well as an affiliate investigator with the Public Health Sciences division of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. She received a PhD in Human Population Genetics from the University of Oxford and later re-trained in Ethical\, Legal\, and Social Implications (ELSI) research with a fellowship from the NIH National Human Genome Research Institute.\n\nDr. Fullerton’s work focuses on the ethical and social implications of genomic research and its equitable and safe translation for clinical and public health benefit. She serves as the ELSI lead for the Clinical Sequencing Evidence-Generating Research (CSER2) Consortium coordinating center\, co-chairs the TOPMed Consortium ELSI Committee\, and chairs the Bioethics Advisory Board of the Kaiser Permanente national Research Bank. She contributes to a range of empirical projects focused on clinical genomics translation and precision medicine approaches to the treatment and prevention of cancer and kidney disease in diverse patient populations.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:“Who Counts? A History of Voting in America”
DESCRIPTION:Changes over the course of the nineteenth century in how Americans voted\, from voice vote to public ballot box to private voting booth\, also saw changes in the material culture that surrounded voting. Ballots and ballot boxes\, campaign pins and ribbons\, blank lists and pre-printed party tickets\, lanterns and banners–the creative forces of the American print industry filled the country’s cities and small towns with the ephemera of electioneering.\n\nAs you look at the items in this exhibit\, think about what they tell us about how Americans in the past felt about voting\, and about how voting felt. How did Election Days feel when they were full of parades and music and public drinking? What was it like to vote when everyone around you knew who you voted for? And\, most of all\, who counted as a voter\, and who did the counting?\n\nOn view September 11-December 22\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Applied Physics | Inflationary embryology: Growth and size in living matter
DESCRIPTION:One of the enduring mysteries of biology is how cells and organs know to stop growing at the correct size (and how those sizes are coordinated so that animals can retain their correct proportions).  Here\, I will discuss several studies that\, in different ways\, address the physics of how size is set and how precisely it can be controlled.  First\, I will introduce a simple phenomenological framework that allows one to consider tradeoffs between noise in the actual growth process and in a system's internal measurement of its own size.  I will show how this framework places a bound on the size precision of individual bacterial cells and analyze data from recent experiments to show that\, at least in some circumstances\, the measured precision is very near this bound.  Then\, I will extend the framework to consider how sizes can be coordinated by chemical signals\, for example between organs like the left and right wings of a fruit fly\, and show that theory severely limits how well this can be done.  Finally\, I will study the noisy dynamics of growth of multi-cellular tissues in the presence of various feedback laws\, finding that only certain forms of mechanical feedback can specify a unique organ size.  Along the way\, I will introduce a formalism to describe the elasticity of growing objects with strong connections to differential geometry and observe that growing tissues tend to show power law density correlations\, reminiscent of those also observed in models of the early universe.
