SUMMARY:Physics Colloquium: Geraldine Cochran
DESCRIPTION:Geraldine Cochran\, The Ohio State University  \nTitle: Rethinking What it Means to be Underprepared in Physics \nAbstract: Dominant narratives in introductory physics education often focus on student preparation in mathematics. Students who have not reached a certain level of proficiency as determined by math placement tests are often labeled as underprepared. In this presentation\, I will challenge this narrative by reframing the notion of underprepared. Indeed\, many physics departments and instructors are underprepared to support the students accepted into their institutions. The Transforming Introductory Physics Sequences to Support all Students (TIPSSS) Network is a network of physicists developing curricular materials\, transforming courses\, and research the effectiveness of these efforts to help departments meet the needs of their physics students\, regardless of the students’ prior mathematics preparation. I will present and overview of the TIPSSS activities and also preliminary findings from the TIPSSS studies. \nHost: Kasey Wagoner

SUMMARY:Physics Colloquium: Qiang Cui
DESCRIPTION:Qiang Cui\, Boston University \nTitle: Lipid Membrane Remodeling by Proteins and Peptides: Mechanistic insights from multi-scale analysis \nAbstract: We will discuss the analysis of membrane remodeling by proteins and peptides using multi-scale computational methods; these include mainly molecular dynamics simulations at atomistic and coarse-grained levels\, although we will also touch upon analyses using lattice models and a mean-field theory. The discussions will cover several systems that we have analyzed in recent studies\, which include the SAR1 protein from the COPII machinery and the ESCRTIII complex; we will also briefly discuss how protein condensates interact with lipid membranes\, especially in terms of their mutual influence on morphology and phase behaviors. These examples illustrate different molecular properties and mechanisms that are potentially relevant to membrane remodeling\, as well as the values and limitations of various computational methodologies in such context. \nHost: Xingcheng Lin

SUMMARY:CMB Seminar: Tatiana Segura
DESCRIPTION:Title: From soft microparticle assemblies to tissue scaffolds \nAbstract: Particle assemblies form interconnected pockets of empty space that are hot spots for activity in many applications and natural phenomenon that deal with particulate matter. In my lab we explore the use of interlinked soft microparticle assemblies as scaffolds for cell culture in vitro and to promote regenerative wound healing in vivo. The open space that is created by these soft microparticle assemblies can be engineered to guide cellular behavior through restricting the space occupied by cells by modulating particle size\, changing the chemical composition of the open space\, and activating the cells with soluble factors. Using these approaches\, we have studied the role of open space on macrophage polarization\, neuroprogenitor cell growth\, and vascular morphogenesis. Injection of these materials into wounds result in the local modulation of immune cells that turn the environment towards a reparative environment and leads to scarless healing skin. In this talk\, I will discuss our latest results in our creation of soft particle assemblies for biomedical applications. \nHost: Karen Daniels
