Wednesday, April 24, 2019SILO Seminar Series: Guillermo Saipro (Duke)
SILO is a lecture series with speakers from the UW faculty, graduate students or invited researchers that discuss mathematical related topics. The seminars are organized by WID’s Optimization research group. SILO’s purpose is to provide a forum that helps connect and recruit mathematically-minded graduate students. SILO is a lunch-and-listen format, where speakers present interesting math topics while the audience eats lunch.
12:30 pm 3rd Floor Orchard View Room, Discovery Building
Monday, April 29, 2019Building Minimal Synthetic Cells
Origins of Life, Artificial Life, & Astrobiology (OoLALA) presents Kate Adamala
The OoLALA Research Showcase (Celebrating Women in Origins of Life, Artificial Life, & Astrobiology) is a spring, 2019 lecture series sponsored by WISELI and WID.
Dr. Kate Adamala is an assistant professor at the University of Minnesota Department of Genetics, Cell Biology, and Development. The central aim of her research is “engineer biology” to better understand how cells work, how they first evolved, and how this approach can be harnessed to help develop new tools for bioengineering.
5:00 pm H.F. DeLuca Forum, Discovery Building
