SUMMARY:Physics Colloquium: Danny Caballero
DESCRIPTION:Title: Supporting the integration of numerical computation in physics education \nAbstract: Computation has revolutionized how modern science is done. Modern scientists use computational techniques to reduce mountains of data\, to simulate impossible experiments\, and to develop intuition about the behavior of complex systems. Much of the research completed by modern scientists would be impossible without the use of computation. And yet\, while computation is a crucial tool of practicing scientists\, most modern science curricula do not reflect its importance and utility. In this talk\, I will discuss the urgent need to construct such curricula in physics and present research that investigates the challenges at a variety of all scales from the largest (institutional structures) to the smallest (student understanding of a concept). I will discuss how the results of this research can be leveraged to facilitate the computational revolution in science education. This research will help us understand and develop institutional incentives\, effective teaching practices\, evidence-based course activities\, and valid assessment tools. This work has been supported by Michigan State University’s CREATE for STEM Institute\, the National Science Foundation (DUE-1431776\, DUE-1504786\, DUE-1524128\, DRL-1741575\, DRL-1812916)\, the Norwegian Agency for Quality Assurance in Education(NOKUT)\, the Norwegian Research Council\, and the Thon Foundation. \nHost: Karen Daniels

SUMMARY:Physics Colloquium: Hong Wang
DESCRIPTION:Title: Magic Tricks of Multi-protein Machineries: How proteins fold DNA and load onto DNA through action over distance \nAbstract: Our lab applies single-molecule imaging techniques to address unanswered questions regarding key biological pathways. Especially\, the recent development of single-molecule imaging techniques enables us to observe real-time dynamics of protein-DNA interactions with high spatial and temporal resolutions. This talk will focus on protein complexes involved in 1) telomere maintenance\, 2) 3D chromatin organization\, and 3) mitochondrial DNA replication. Firstly\, recent studies from our lab demonstrate how proteins form higher-order DNA structures\, such as DNA-DNA bridging and T-loops at telomeres. Secondly\, the cohesin complex was proposed to mediate 3D chromatin structures through DNA loop extrusion. However\, its mechanism of action is still largely unknown. Our results from using High-speed AFM imaging of the cohesin-DNA complex support a tethered-inchworm DNA loop extrusion model. Lastly\, mitochondrial DNA helicase Twinkle forms hexametric rings; how this protein self loads onto DNA was unknown. Using High-speed AFM imaging\, we\, for the first time\, captured in real-time how a ring-shaped helicase loads onto its DNA. A domain of Twinkle can protrude ~5 nm away from Twinkle to capture DNA in proximity and bring it to the helicase central channel for loading.  \nHost: Thomas Schäefer
