CANCELLED - CANCELLED: Peptidoglycan Fragment Production by the Pathogenic Neisseria - Joseph Dillard, PhD
Chicago - 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Title:
Peptidoglycan Fragment Production by the Pathogenic Neisseria
Speaker: Joseph Dillard, PhD / University of Wisconsin-Madison
Host: Hank Seifert, PhD
Topic:
The pathogenic Neisseria produce and release small fragments of the cell wall as the bacteria grow. These peptidoglycan fragments include molecules that are agonists for the pattern-recognition receptors NOD1 and NOD2. Human Fallopian tube tissue produces an inflammatory response to the peptidoglycan fragments that results in death and sloughing of ciliated epithelial cells, damage that is partly responsible for the sequlae of pelvic inflammatory disease. We work to understand the mechanisms involved in production of the peptidoglycan fragments, the consequences of mutating genes for peptidoglycan breakdown, and the host responses to Neisseria in human organ culture models of infection.

Zooming In: Practicing Zoom Features for Interactive Sessions
Online - 3:30 PM - 5:00 PM
You ve participated in Zoom, but have you opened a breakout room? Launched a poll? This workshop gives participants a chance to practice using key features of Zoom as a host (i.e., the person running the meeting) to prepare to facilitate interactive sessions and small group discussions on the platform. Facilitators will explain how and why to use breakout rooms, screen sharing, polls, and nonverbal feedback, and simulate hosting a meeting for participants. After completion of this workshop you will receive materials so you can run a similar Zoom practice session with your colleagues.
This workshop is open to Northwestern graduate students, postdocs, faculty, and staff. If you ve never used Zoom before we recommend first attending one of NUIT s Introduction to Zoom for Instructors sessions.
Prior to Attending this workshop:
- Sign up for a Northwestern Zoom user account by visiting the Zoom login webpage and clicking the Log In button. Accounts are provisioned automatically after first login.
- Download the Zoom desktop application. Mobile users will need to download the app from Google Play or the Apple App Store. If you have previously used Zoom be sure to update to the latest version.
Note: The meeting link will be shared with registered participants via their Eventbrite registration confirmation

CANCELLED - CANCELLED: Cellular Pathology in the Prefrontal Cortex in Neuropathic Pain - Theodore Price, PhD
Chicago - 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Theodore Price, PhD
Eugene McDermott Professor
Director, Systems Neuroscience Program, School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences
Director of the Center for Advanced Pain Studies
University of Texas (UT) at Dallas
Join us remotely via Panopto.
It is now well-known that neuropathic pain causes dysfunction in the cortex in both humans and rodents. We have developed new behavioral methods and cellular profiling techniques to better understand how behavioral pathology is linked to molecular changes in the prefrontal cortex. I will discuss our work on how attentional set-shifting is disrupted in mice with neuropathic pain and how this can be rescued by different types of therapeutics. I will also discuss how neuropathic pain targets a subset of pyramidal neurons in the infralimbic cortex causing shrinkage of their axon initial segments, a change that can also be rescued by drug treatment. Finally, I will discuss our unpublished work using translating ribosome affinity purification to molecularly profile these neurons in neuropathic pain. Those experiments reveal similarities with transcriptomic differences that occur in chronic stress and reveal potential cortical targets for pain therapeutics.
Theodore (Ted) Price, PhD, is the Eugene McDermott Professor and Director of the Systems Neuroscience Program in the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences at University of Texas (UT) at Dallas. He is also the Director of the Center for Advanced Pain Studies at UT Dallas. He did his PhD work with Chris Flores and Ken Hargreaves at UT Health San Antonio and a postdoctoral fellowship at McGill University with Fernando Cervero. He started his independent laboratory in 2007 at University of Arizona School of Medicine and moved to UT Dallas in 2014. His lab is interested in molecular mechanisms driving the transition to chronic pain with a focus on drug development for chronic pain disease modification and on peripheral and central mechanisms of neuronal plasticity in response to injury. He has won numerous awards including the John C Liebeskind Early Career Scholar Award from the American Pain Society and The Patrick D. Wall Young Investigator Award from the International Association for the Study of Pain. Ted serves on editorial boards for leading pain and neuroscience journals such as Pain and Journal of Neuroscience, and is a standing member of the Somatosensory and Pain Study Section for NIH.

CANCELLED - [Cancelled] Writing Effective Teaching Statements: Getting Started
Evanston - 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Drafting a Teaching Statement can be a challenging process, particularly for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who may have limited teaching experience.
In this workshop, participants will learn about the characteristics of successful teaching statements and engage in the Generative Knowledge Interview process, which uses key moments as learners and teachers to help frame the value of teaching in their teaching statements.
This is a highly interactive workshop. Writing and discussing with peers is expected of all participants.
Participants will leave the workshop with a deeper understanding of the conventions of strong teaching statements and generated content for a teaching statement draft.
The workshop is open to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows from all departments and disciplines, at all stages of drafting their teaching statements.
Prior to attending the workshop, please complete the following prompt:
In about 150 words, describe what you believe is a key concept or skill in your discipline and how you do or plan to teach that concept or skill to students.
Please bring to the workshop:
Your written response to the above prompt (be prepared to share with your peers)
Your preferred writing utensils (paper & pen/laptop/tablet)

Writing Effective Teaching Statements: Peer Review
Evanston - 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Teaching statements are an important component of many academic job applications, but they can be challenging to write. Receiving feedback from peers can provide you with recommendations on how to clarify and improve your main claims about your teaching. Allowing others to read your writing can also give you critical insight into how your target audience may understand and interpret your claims, which can help further refine your teaching statement.
In this workshop, participants will bring their teaching statement drafts and engage in guided peer feedback.
This workshop is open to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows from all departments and disciplines who have a draft of their teaching statement.
Please bring three hard copies of your teaching statement draft to the workshop.

Using Clickers in the Classroom
Evanston - 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM
Clickers, which go by more formal names like Audience Response Systems (ARS), have both supporters and detractors among faculty and students. Two strong supporters will lead this workshop and discuss the several benefits of clickers for both the instructor and the class, and what the detractors are missing. We will discuss several systems you can use and provide some practical ideas for using clickers. Participants will write at least one clicker question.
Please bring a laptop or tablet to the workshop if possible.
Please download to your laptop, tablet, or smartphone PollEverywhere as it will be used in the workshop. Introductory use is free. At their website, click on Get Started.
Workshop Facilitators:
Professor Robert Linsenmeier is the Institutional co-leader of CIRTL at Northwestern. He has appointments in Biomedical Engineering (McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science) and Neurobiology (Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences) and a secondary appointment in Ophthalmology. Part of his research is in retinal physiology, particularly related to oxygen transport and the microenvironment, and part is in engineering education.
Professor Suzanne Olds is Assistant Chair of the Biomedical Engineering Department and Chair of its Undergraduate Committee. She has used clickers for many years in her thermodynamics and statistics courses.
