In this talk, I will present the construction of a data-guided, universal network for the human genome. From this universal network called the Hardwired Genome (HWG), we can query cell-type-specific wiring and explore how perturbations affect information flow. I will also introduce a numerical prototype which extends hardwiring theory to tissue dynamics and is based on the Kuramoto oscillator, called the Mesmerizer, developed with Steve Smale and Cleve Moler. Finally, I will discuss how combining the HWG and the Mesmerizer can lay the foundation for digital biology.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"130517-21866157@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/130517", "building_id":"1005047", "building_name":"Palmer Commons", "campus_maps_id":"188", "room":"Forum Hall", "location_name":"Palmer Commons", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Mathematics","Education","Electrical Engineering and Computer Science","Engineering","Faculty","Food","Free","Graduate Students","Human Genetics","Information and Technology","Learning Health Systems","Lecture","Life Science","LSA Collegiate Lecture","Discussion","Medicine","Pediatrics","Physics","Precision Health","Public Health","Research","Science","seminar","Smoke-free","Structural Biology","Talk","Virtual","Chemistry","Applications","Basic Science","Biointerfaces","Biology","Biomedical Engineering","Biosciences","Cardiovascular"], "website":"https:\/\/medschool.umich.edu\/events\/ccmb-seminar-series\/ccmb-seminar-indika-rajapakse-phd\/2025-01-15", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"DCMB Seminar Series", "group_id":"3754", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_130517_original-1.jpeg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/crop-event_130517_original-1.jpeg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/crop-event_130517_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/crop-event_130517_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/crop-event_130517_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/crop-event_130517_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/crop-event_130517_original-1.jpeg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/crop-event_130517_original-1.jpeg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/crop-event_130517_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/crop-event_130517_original-1.jpeg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/crop-event_130517_original-1.jpeg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/crop-event_130517_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/crop-event_130517_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/crop-event_130517_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/crop-event_130517_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/crop-event_130517_original-1.jpeg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21866157 } , "130378-21865927": { "datetime_modified":"20250108T204729", "datetime_start":"20250115T160000", "datetime_end":"20250115T180000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-01-15", "date_end":"2025-01-15", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"18:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Indigenous Dispossession and Territorial Recovery in Contemporary Brazil: An Overview of the Tupinamb\u00e1 Case in Bahia State", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Indigenous Dispossession and Territorial Recovery in Contemporary Brazil: An Overview of the Tupinamb\u00e1 Case in Bahia State: Daniela Fernandes Alarcon, Postdoctoral Fellow at the National Museum", "event_subtitle":"Daniela Fernandes Alarcon, Postdoctoral Fellow at the National Museum", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"In the past few years, the Indigenous movement has emerged as one of the strongest social movements in Brazil, embedded in a long history of resistance to settler colonialism and genocide. The land struggle carried out by the Tupinamb\u00e1 of Serra do Padeiro, in Southern Bahia, in the Northeast of the country, provides a striking example of Indigenous mobilization to assert territorial rights. In 2004, they began to carry out direct actions, called *retomadas de terras*, to recover their territory, which, from the end of the 19th century onwards, had been turned by non-Indigenous settlers into cocoa farms and resorts. By doing so, they have been able to revert the diaspora triggered by the loss of their lands. Despite being heavily targeted by criminalization, paramilitary attacks, and police brutality, after 95 *retomadas*, they regained possession of around two-thirds of the territory, even though the official demarcation of their land, which also began in 2004, is not over yet. Through their mobilization, the Tupinamb\u00e1 has forged a thriving collective project aimed at creating conditions for viver bem (living well), which forms part of broader ongoing decolonization processes. This presentation focuses on the territorialization process among the Tupinamb\u00e1, examining both the history of dispossession and the territorial recovery carried out by the Indigenous community, also drawing connections between the *retomadas* and the reversion of the Tupinamb\u00e1 diaspora.\r\n\r\nDaniela Fernandes Alarcon (Ph.D. Social Anthropology, National Museum, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, 2020) is a postdoctoral fellow at the National Museum. Over the past two years, she worked at the Brazilian Ministry of Indigenous Peoples as a general coordinator in the Department of Mediation of Indigenous Land Conflicts. From 2021-22, she was a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow with the Project \u201cDispossessions in the Americas: The Extraction of Bodies, Land, and Heritage from La Conquista to the Present\u201d at the University of Pennsylvania. Previously, from 2017-18, she was a visiting scholar at the LLILAS Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Collection at the University of Texas at Austin. Over the past 15 years, she has developed in-depth studies among Indigenous peoples and other traditional communities in Brazil, focusing on territorial rights and the mobilizations of these groups to defend their territories, lifeways, and collective projects. Her master\u2019s thesis, published in book form in 2019, earned the Norm and Sibby Whitten Publication Subvention Award for Anthropological Monographs on Lowland South America by the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America.
