SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Human Genetics Research Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, April 13\, 2026\n11:00am - 12:00pm\n1020 Kahn Auditorium\, BSRB\n\nJacy Wagnon\, PhD\nAssistant Professor\nDepartment of Neuroscience\nThe Ohio State University College of Medicine\n“Seminar Title TBD”\n\nHosted By: Miriam Meisler\, PhD\, Department of Human Genetics\n___\nDevelopmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEE) are a genetically heterogeneous group of neurological disorders characterized by early-onset seizures along with cognitive\, motor\, and behavioral impairments. The Wagnon laboratory is interested in understanding genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying DEE and identifying new treatment strategies for these severe disorders. Our current studies focus on DEE caused by variants in the neuronal voltage-gated sodium channel gene SCN8A. We are developing mouse models of SCN8A encephalopathy to study pathogenesis of seizures and related comorbidities. A second focus of the lab is to investigate the role of regulation of gene expression in seizure pathology. Changes in mRNA and microRNA levels represent a general transcriptional response to seizures that may implicate new therapeutic targets.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Special Quantum Seminar | Utilizing Symmetries in Open Quantum Systems: Autonomous Error Correction and Metrology
DESCRIPTION:Quantum systems are crucial to developing new technologies and studying fundamental science. However\, current systems cannot be fully isolated from the environment\, which can introduce detrimental noise effects that destroy useful quantum features in these open quantum systems. Nevertheless\, in some circumstances it is possible to instead utilize the environment as a resource via symmetries. Although the implications of symmetries in Hamiltonian systems are well-understood\, in open quantum systems the situation is more complex. In this talk\, I will show how two classes of symmetry exist for open quantum systems\, “weak” and “strong”\, and I will demonstrate the utility of strong symmetries via two examples. First\, I will identify connections between steady state phase transitions and autonomous error correction\, a form of quantum error correction in which active measurement and feedback is no longer needed. Second\, I will show how strong symmetries allow for the preparation of highly-entangled collective states known as spin-squeezed states\, which can be experimentally realized in optical cavity systems for quantum-enhanced metrology.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Developmental Psychology Visiting Scholar Talk | Understanding the development of literacy and the processes leading to fluent biliteracy
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Lorraine Nadelman Visiting Scholar Fund\n\nAbstract: \nDespite the growing number of bilingual children in the world\, current literacy models and early reading interventions remain largely monolingual in design\, not addressing the developmental stages of biliteracy development. However\, the idea that literacy development in two languages may be related for bilingual children learning to read and write is in accordance with the indisputable evidence that the bilingual’s two languages are simultaneously active during language acquisition and use even in situations in which individuals intend to produce or comprehend one language alone (e.g.\, Kroll et al.\, 2015). In this talk\, I will argue that both the development of literacy and the processes leading to fluent biliteracy can be examined through the Four Levels of Literacy Model (Alves & Finger\, 2023)\, which consists of a continuum of four complementary levels\, referred to as Sociometalinguistic Skills\, Alphabetic Literacy\, Textual Literacy\, and Social Literacy. I will also discuss the research that we are currently developing in my lab which investigates the developmental trajectories of phonological awareness and reading and writing skills in bilingual learners\, connecting these findings with some of my previous work that suggests the existence of an interrelated development of both receptive and productive skills in contexts of biliteracy instruction (Finger\, Lemke\, et al.\, 2024\; Finger & Weissheimer 2024\; Lemke et al.\, 2023\; Oliveira et al.\, 2025).\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Ingrid Finger is a Full Professor in the Department of Modern Languages and the Graduate Program in Languages and Literature at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)\, Brazil\, where she runs the Bilingualism and Cognition Lab – LABICO since 2006. Her research explores the cognitive and linguistic underpinnings of literacy development in monolingual and bilingual children\, with a particular focus on how phonological awareness contributes to biliteracy acquisition across distinct bilingual education contexts. Through this work\, she addresses the universal\, language-specific\, and bilingual influences on child reading development and dyslexia She is the author of several books\, including Literacy in Monolingual and Bilingual Contexts\, co-authored with Ubiratã Kickhöfel Alves (Vozes\, 2023) and Literacy and Biliteracy: From Theory to Practice (Pontes\, 2025). She is a member of the Brazilian National Science for Education Network.
