SUMMARY:8th Annual Neurophotonics Center Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Methods for imaging the structure and function of the nervous system are central to the study of neuroscience in all organisms. Neurophotonics techniques applied across a wide array of species\, with varied anatomical complexities\, sensory systems\, behavioral repertoires\, and natural habitats are generating new understanding of the nature and function of the nervous system.   \nMany of the advanced imaging approaches used to study the nervous system were first developed in so-called model species that are widely used in neuroscience research. Research and technique development in these model organisms continue to define the cutting-edge of neurophotonics and push the limits of what is possible. In addition\, recent advances in genetic techniques and sequencing technologies have allowed neuroscience researchers to adapt these neuroimaging approaches for use in non-traditional organisms. This has enabled neuroimaging of structure and function in animals with unique specializations\, capabilities and behaviors\, allowing for the comparison and understanding of nervous system function across the diversity of animals on this planet. \nThis symposium will present neuroimaging approaches used in a diverse assortment of species. This includes model organisms\, which set the standards for what is possible\, as well as non-traditional model species\, which allow for new insights into the function of unique nervous systems. We aim to explore similarities and differences in imaging approaches used throughout the animal kingdom\, and to identify and understand commonalities of nervous system function that apply across the tree of life.

SUMMARY:10th Annual Rare Disease Day Event: An Era of Innovation for Rare Diseases
DESCRIPTION:The event will take place on Tuesday\, February 25\, 2025 from 1:30 – 5:00pm ET in the Merkin Building at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard (415 Main Street\, Cambridge\, MA 02142) and streamed online. Registration will begin at 1:00pm\, the speaking program will be held from 1:30 – 5:00pm in the Merkin Auditorium\, and a reception will follow from 5:00 – 6:00pm in the Broad Discovery Center. \nThis year\, the Broad Institute’s Ladders to Cures Scientific Accelerator in collaboration with The Termeer Foundation are hosting the 10th Annual Rare Disease Day Event: An Era of Innovation for Rare Diseases\, featuring opening remarks from Anna Greka and Belinda Termeer\, and a lineup of speakers from the rare disease space including Anne Carpenter\, Richard Novak\, Arya Rao\, Effie Parks\, Tinashe Chandauka\, Bart Scheerder\, Nathan Guo\, Ada Lio\, Avanthi Raghavan\, and Masako Nakamura. \nRare genetic diseases are collectively common: they affect 1 in 10 people in North America. While more than 8\,000 genes are known to drive these diseases\, fewer than 500 have an available treatment. The mismatch in these numbers underscores the urgent need to disrupt the status quo and develop new approaches to deliver precision cures at scale. \nThe Ladders to Cures Scientific Accelerator is committed to uncovering the genetic roots of rare diseases and to using those insights to develop new treatments. With projects spanning multiple disease areas\, Broad scientists are using genetics\, functional genomics\, computational biology\, and chemical biology to better understand and ultimately seek effective treatments for rare diseases. \nBuilding on the bold legacy of Henri Termeer\, who pioneered groundbreaking treatments for rare diseases\, The Termeer Foundation is a nonprofit organization working to connect the world of healthcare innovators until every patient has a cure. \nIf you have any questions regarding the event or an accessibility request\, please reach out to Katie Liguori at kliguori@broadinstitute.org.

SUMMARY:Carl Zimmer at the Harvard Science Center
DESCRIPTION:Harvard Book Store\, the Harvard University Division of Science\, and the Harvard Library welcome Carl Zimmer—award-winning science journalist\, writer of the “Origins” column for The New York Times\, and professor adjunct in the Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry at Yale University—for a discussion of his new book Air-Borne: The Hidden History of the Life We Breathe. This event will take place at the Harvard Science Center\, located at 1 Oxford St\, Cambridge. We will update this event page with the exact lecture hall the presentation will be in before the event. \nTicketing\nThere are two ticket options available for this event. Following the presentation will be a reception and book signing in the Cabot Science Library across the hall from the presentation room. \nFree General Admission Ticket: Includes admission for one. \nBook-Included Ticket: Includes admission for one and one hardcover copy of Air-Borne. \nAbout Air-Borne\nThe fascinating\, untold story of the air we breathe\, the hidden life it contains\, and invisible dangers that can turn the world upside down. \nEvery day we draw in two thousand gallons of air—and thousands of living things. From the ground to the stratosphere\, the air teems with invisible life. This last great biological frontier remains so mysterious that it took over two years for scientists to finally agree that the Covid pandemic was caused by an airborne virus. \nIn Air-Borne\, award-winning New York Times columnist and author Carl Zimmer leads us on an odyssey through the living atmosphere and through the history of its discovery. We travel to the tops of mountain glaciers\, where Louis Pasteur caught germs from the air\, and follow Amelia Earhart and Charles Lindbergh above the clouds\, where they conducted groundbreaking experiments. We meet the long-forgotten pioneers of aerobiology including William and Mildred Wells\, who tried for decades to warn the world about airborne infections\, only to die in obscurity. \nAir-Borne chronicles the dark side of aerobiology with gripping accounts of how the United States and the Soviet Union clandestinely built arsenals of airborne biological weapons designed to spread anthrax\, smallpox\, and an array of other pathogens. Air-Borne also leaves readers looking at the world with new eyes—as a place where the oceans and forests loft trillions of cells into the air\, where microbes eat clouds\, and where life soars thousands of miles on the wind. \nWeaving together gripping history with the latest reporting on Covid and other threats to global health\, Air-Borne surprises us on every page as it reveals the hidden world of the air. \nBio\nCarl Zimmer writes the “Origins” column for The New York Times and has frequently contributed to The Atlantic\, National Geographic\, Time\, and Scientific American. He has won the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s Science Journalism Award three times\, among a host of other awards and fellowships. He teaches science writing at Yale\, has been a guest on NPR’s RadioLab\, Science Friday\, and Fresh Air\, and maintains an international speaking schedule. He is the author of fourteen books about science\, including Life’s Edge. \nMasking Policy\nMasks are encouraged but not required for this event.

DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, May 13\n6:00 – 7:00 pm\nReception to follow\n\nBroad Institute Auditorium + Discovery Center\n415 Main Street\, Cambridge\, MA\n\nThe brain is all about connection and communication\, with cells sharing information back and forth in a variety of ways. Breakdowns in those channels can be major contributors to conditions ranging from schizophrenia to Alzheimer’s disease. In this special Broad Discovery Series x BroadIgnite event\, neurobiologist Ralda Nehme will talk about new ways of exploring brain cell cross-talk in the lab\, while chemical biologist Shiwei Wang will explain how cells in the brain and beyond use sugars as a messaging system\, and why that matters in neurodegenerative disorders.\n\n\n\n\n\nFor this event\, the Broad Discovery Series is partnering with BroadIgnite\, which connects philanthropists with early-career researchers involved in high-risk\, potentially high-reward projects. \n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER\n\n\n  \nSpeakers \nRalda Nehme\, Institute scientist\, Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research\nShiwei Wang\, Graduate student\, Infectious Disease and Microbiome Program \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBroad Discovery Series \nThe Broad Discovery Series brings researchers to the stage to discuss and answer questions about some of the most pressing topics in science and medicine today. Held in-person and virtually at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard\, these free public events explore the genetic and biological roots of human health and disease\, the mechanisms that govern how our cells and bodies function\, new technologies that are changing what’s possible in science\, and the progress being made to translate these findings into treatments for common and rare diseases. \n  \nPlease visit broad.io/discoverylive to access the event live stream at the time of the event. \n
