Safe Zone Ally: Phase Two trainingSafe Zone Ally: Phase Two training
Wednesday, October 12, 2022 - 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm
The Safe Zone Ally program is designed to identify and train community members interested in supporting the continued growth of an inclusive campus community. This program supports the university's value of cultivating a caring and diverse campus community that values respect for all people, the open and free exchange of ideas, and responsible and ethical behavior. This program is not an LGBTQ+ 101 training, but instead an opportunity for those interested in supporting our community.

Green Dot Faculty and Staff OverviewGreen Dot Faculty and Staff Overview
Wednesday, October 12, 2022 - 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm
Green Dot is an NISG-sponsored bystander intervention program focused on gender violence prevention. The goal of Green Dot is to decrease the likelihood of sexual assault, stalking, dating and domestic abuse. The Green Dot Student Overview training session is a presentation that introduces basic elements of Green Dot while using skill building activities to keep participants engaged. The basic elements of the presentation are to provide a new/different framework of bystander intervention, to create campus-wide interest and participation, and begin the process of changing behaviors. This Green Dot Overview is open to any faculty and staff.

Physics Colloquium: "Order from disorder: Multi-scale computational studies of biomolecular dynamics and phase separation"Physics Colloquium: "Order from disorder: Multi-scale computational studies of biomolecular dynamics and phase separation"
Wednesday, October 12, 2022 - 4:00 pm
Abstract:
A third of eukaryotic proteins contain long disordered regions with fluctuating structures that defy the sequence-structure-function paradigm. This prevalence of the disorder and the fact that it is often evolutionarily conserved have suggested critical functional roles. But what are these roles? Recent experiments are finding the ubiquitous presence of mesoscopic membraneless bodies in cells that form via liquid-liquid phase-separation of protein and nucleic acid mixtures. The proteins in these assemblies are frequently highly disordered, with low complexity sequences. Mutagenesis studies show that point mutations in disordered regions can often act as functional switches for various proteins, including enzymes, ion changes, and transcription factors. Disentangling the roles of sequence-specific interactions and environmental conditions on dynamics and phase separation of disordered biomolecules poses significant challenges for theory and experiment. Our group employs multi-scale computational techniques to uncover functional mechanisms of disorder in sensing, adaptation, and self-assembly of biomolecules. I will present our recent findings on disorder-mediated thermal adaptation, protein-RNA phase transitions, and mesoscale modeling chromatin organization during the talk.
