DDM Seminar Series: The Psychology of Great Meetings
DDM Seminar Series
The third installment of the FY2017 DDM Seminar Series. To receive credit for watching the LIVE Videocast, you need to register for the event in LMS on the morning of the event. Archived Videocast registration is also available in LMS approximately 10 days after the event. Videocast from Masur Auditorium, this third seminar features Al Pittampalli, who will share why it is that meetings -- the lifeblood of any organization -- often end up long, indecisive, and unproductive. In this presentation, Mr. Pittampalli will argue that, surprisingly, it ’ s our psychology that lies at the heart of our meetings ...

Innate allergy
Immunology Interest Group Seminar Series
Despite clear roles for classical arms of immunity in maintenance of a healthy commensal microbial flora and protection from invasive pathogenic organisms, the purpose of allergic immunity, which underlies increasingly prevalent diseases like food allergy, asthma and atopic dermatitis, remains puzzling. The discovery of innate lymphoid cells that are programmed to produce cytokines associated with allergic immunity has provided new opportunities to assess basal physiologic processes that involve this canonical tissue response, and may reveal opportunities for re-tuning this arm of i...

A battery inspired by vitamins -- Science360 Extra
What happens when there isn't any wind to spin the blades of a wind turbine? Or there's no sun to charge those solar panels? National Science Foundation-funded researchers at Harvard University may have a solution. In episode 69, Jordan and Charlie explore a new class of molecules inspired by ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)

Aire: new tricks from an old dog
Immunology Interest Group Seminar Series
Aire is a transcriptional regulator that controls immunological tolerance. Its primary modus operandi is the induction – specifically in thymic medullary epithelial cells – of a battery of transcripts encoding proteins characteristic of terminally differentiated peripheral cell-types, and consequently negative selection of T cells that recognize these proteins. After briefly reviewing the classical findings, this presentation will focus on more recently discovered facets of Aire function, including positive selection of a perinatal population of regulatory T cells, inhibition of...

RoboBee uses static electricity to land and stick to surfaces (Image 5)
Developed by Harvard University roboticists, the RoboBee uses electrostatic adhesion--the same basic science that causes a static-charged sock to cling to a pants leg or a balloon to stick to a wall--to perch during flight, saving energy so they can be kept aloft for longer periods of time.

Curing HIV infection: going beyond N=1
Immunology Interest Group Seminar Series
The latent reservoir for HIV is a major barrier to curing HIV
infection. This talk will discuss recent studies of the mechanism by
which the reservoir arises, the mechanism by which it is maintained, and
approaches for measuring the reservoir in patients participating in HIV
cure trials.
Dr. Robert F. Siliciano is a Professor of Medicine and Molecular Biology and Genetics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and a member of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. In 1995, his laboratory provided the first demonstration that latently infected memory CD4+ T cells were p...

The multi-faceted role of the IgG glycan
Immunology Interest Group Seminar Series
Beyond their role in pathogen neutralization, antibodies mediate pathogen control and clearance via the recruitment of innate immune effector functions including phagocytosis and cytotoxicity but also via the homeostatic regulation of the immune activation. Two modifications to the constant domain of the IgG antibody control this biological activity: 1) the irreversible genomic selection of isotype/subclass and 2) a more subtle alteration in Fc-glycosylation, that together provide instructions to the innate immune system . Because glycosylation alters the affinity of antibodies for ...
