SUMMARY:Crossroads of Ideas: Alzheimer's and the Gut-Brain Superhighway
DESCRIPTION:Part 2 of the Microbiome Miniseries\, featuring Barbara Bendlin and Federico Rey\n\n\nPart 2 of the Microbiome Miniseries\, with Barbara Bendlin and Federico Rey \nIn this second installment of the Microbiome Miniseries\, researchers Barbara Bendlin and Federico Rey will discuss the many factors that can impact brain aging\, with a special focus on the gut-brain superhighway and the role that the gut microbiome can have on brain health. \nBarbara Bendlin is a faculty member in the Division of Geriatrics and Gerontology within the Department of Medicine. She is a member of the Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Institute’s Executive Committee and the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center Executive Committee\, leads the Research Education Component in the Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center\, and directs the UW-Madison Neuroscience and Public Policy Program. Dr. Bendlin is a recipient of a 2019 Distinguished Honors Faculty Award and is an associate editor of the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease. \nFederico Rey started his independent research program in bacteriology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2013. A major focus of his group is to understand how variations in the gut microbiome composition modulate the effects of diet and the host’s susceptibility to cardiometabolic and cognitive diseases. To address these issues\, his team uses a combination of hypothesis-generating\, sequencing-centered analyses of microbiomes from humans and mice\, followed by proof-of-principle/proof­-of­-mechanism studies in gnotobiotic mouse models of disease and classical bacteriology experiments. The contributions from his team are helping move the field from associations to causal relationships and shedding light on the mechanisms by which gut microbes modulate health. \n\n\nWe value inclusion and access for all participants. If you would like to request reasonable accommodations to enhance your participation experience\, please email idhub@wid.wisc.edu no later than 2 weeks prior to the event. This event is wheelchair accessible. \n\n\nAll Crossroads of Ideas sessions are recorded and shared post-event. Due to popular request\, we will also be livestreaming the Microbiome Mini-series. Please register through the provided link if you intend to join in person or via the livestream link which will be shared upon registration.

SUMMARY:SoundWaves: Developing Ideas\, Part 3
DESCRIPTION:Explore how trends\, plans\, viewpoints\, projects\, materials\, and sounds develop.  Where we are and where we might be headed in the future.\n\n\n\nWhat can archeology tell us about the development of our forebears? How can we develop better conditions for dairy animals? How do babies develop language? How do computer scientists develop operating systems? What is musical development\, and how did Franz Schubert master it in the beautiful string quartet Death and the Maiden?
