SUMMARY:Molecular Innovations for Live Cell Imaging (Presentation)
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 9\, 2019 \n4:00PM – 6:00PM\n\nBuell Hall\n\n515 West 116th Street\n\nNew York\, NY 10027\n\n\nThe fluorescent proteins revolutionized our ability to study protein function directly in the cell by enabling individual proteins to be selectively labeled through genetic encoding of a fluorescent tag. As researchers seek to make increasingly sophisticated dynamic measurements of protein function in the cell to unravel molecular mechanism\, we designed a chemical tag to combine the advantages of genetic encoding with a modular organic fluorophore. With TMP-tag\, the protein of interest is tagged with E. coli dihydrofolate reductase\, which can subsequently be labeled with a cell permeable trimethoprim-fluorophore conjugate. Here we demonstrate that TMP-tag is a robust cellular reagent. We present recent results exploiting the modular nature of the chemical tag to generate TMP-tags for specific applications in single-molecule\, super-resolution\, and multi-color imaging. We look forward to innovations at the interface of chemical tag technology and spectroscopy for biological imaging. \nVirginia W. Cornish graduated summa cum laude from Columbia University with a B.A. in Biochemistry in 1991\, where she did undergraduate research with Professor Ronald Breslow. She earned her Ph.D. in Chemistry with Professor Peter Schultz at the University of California at Berkeley and then was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Biology Department at M.I.T. under the guidance of Professor Robert Sauer. Virginia joined the faculty of the Chemistry Department at Columbia in 1999\, where she carries out research at the interface of chemistry and biology\, and was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in 2004 and then Professor in 2007. Her laboratory brings together modern methods in synthetic chemistry and DNA technology to expand the synthetic capabilities of living cells. Her research has resulted in 59 research publications and several patents and currently is supported by multiple grants from the NIH and NSF. Virginia has been recognized for her research by awards including an NSF Career Award (2000)\, a Sloan Foundation Fellowship (2003)\, the Protein Society Irving Sigal Young Investigator Award (2009)\, and the American Chemical Society Pfizer Award in Enzyme Chemistry (2009). In addition to her research and teaching\, Virginia enjoys spending time with her husband and their three children.\n \nPlease contact marley.bauce@columbia.edu with any event related questions.

SUMMARY:Startup Hiring Workshop with ERA Advisors
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TO COLUMBIA STARTUP LAB TEAMS ONLY \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt all starts with the team. Get it right and there is no obstacle a founder can’t overcome. When the team is healthy\, people show up at work with a smile and work relentlessly for the collective good. Get it wrong and you’ll wonder why the office is empty by 4pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen your company is at its earliest stage\, you’ll hire people you already know. But with a little success\, adding talent more quickly forces you to recruit total strangers. But how to do that well? \nJonathan Lowenhar has developed a proprietary framework for startup hiring and will deliver a fast paced\, practical guide that any founder can implement. It’s called the 12 Rules To Not Screw Up Startup Hiring.

SUMMARY:Deep Learning to Solve Challenging Problems with the SVP of Google AI
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TO ALL \n\nDEEP LEARNING TO SOLVE CHALLENGING PROBLEMS\nSpeaker: Jeff Dean\, SVP Google AI / Lead\, Google Brain Project\nDate: Tuesday\, August 27\, 2019\nTime: 4:00pm – 5:30pm\nLocation: Mudd 451 – Computer Science Building\nLight refreshments will be served \nFor the past eight years\, Google Research teams have conducted research on difficult problems in artificial intelligence\, on building large-scale computer systems for machine learning research\, and\, in collaboration with many teams at Google\, on applying our research and systems to many Google products. As part of our work in this space\, we have built and open-sourced the TensorFlow system (tensorflow.org)\, a widely popular system designed to easily express machine learning ideas and to quickly train\, evaluate\, and deploy machine learning systems. \nWe have also collaborated closely with Google’s platforms team to design and deploy new computational hardware called Tensor Processing Units\, specialized for accelerating machine learning computations. In this talk\, I’ll highlight some of our recent research accomplishments\, and will relate them to the National Academy of Engineering’s Grand Engineering Challenges for the 21st Century\, including the use of machine learning for healthcare\, robotics\, language understanding and engineering the tools of scientific discovery. I’ll also cover how machine learning is transforming many aspects of our computing hardware and software systems. \nThis talk describes joint work with many people at Google.

SUMMARY:Design Thinking x Neuroscience
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TO STUDENTS\n \nLEARN MORE \n\nJoin this 1.5 hour workshop\, which teaches interactive design skills alongside neuroscience content. \nThe Design Studio is located on the 4th floor of Riverside Church. Ask the attendant on duty for location if you need further help. \nAbout \n\n\n\n\nCompared to peer institutions in New York City and other Ivy League universities\, Columbia lacks a focus and research in the discipline of Disability Studies (DS). To this end\, we recognize a need to educate DS students and further diffuse misconceptions about disabilities through a formalized structure. Developed by two neuroscience students registered with Office of Disabilities (ODS)\, we propose an affective neuroscience-based course whose curriculum touches on the topics of mindfulness\, positive psychology\, the development of the brain\, plasticity and more. Comparable to Stanford’s “Design Your Life” course\, Yale’s course on happiness\, and Barnard’s own Science of Well Being course\, this class focuses on inclusion\, identity\, and helping students with disabilities develop\, design and understand their own minds.
