What the fly brain can teach us about the neural mechanisms of complex behaviors
NIH Director ’ s Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Dr. Rubin will discuss the current state of circuit neuroscience in the fly, using examples from his lab ’ s work on learning and memory, sleep and aggression. Within the next five years, those of us working with Drosophila can expect to have comprehensive datasets, including a complete connectome, and powerful tools with which to study the fly ’ s brain and behavior. Work in Drosophila should thus provide an early indication of whether the experimental and theoretical approaches envisioned by the BRAIN Initiative will be adequate to achieve “ understanding ” of...

Developing a Training Platform for Fundamental Principles of Rigorous Research (PRR) Workshop (Day 2)
This workshop is being proposed to examine the need for a platform for teaching fundamental principles of rigorous research (commonly referred to as experimental design), as well as the potential content and structure of such a tool. Accumulating data suggests that training in this area is lacking in most institutions. Efforts led by NIGMS to encourage the development of online, interactive, engaging, and freely accessible resources have thus far not generated tools that would encourage Institutions to expand training in this area.
The proposed workshop stems from discussions by the NINDS Rigor Working Group (NRWG) with th...

Why the Immune System Needs Us
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
To better understand and assist the immune system, my lab focuses on M. tuberculosis (Mtb), the leading cause of death from an infectious disease. Mtb has evolved to exploit human immunity, about which it must have much to teach us. Mtb can both elicit and withstand an immune response strong enough to liquefy lung and send forth infectious droplets that spread the disease. We study the biology of Mtb in the non-replicating states imposed by the sub-sterilizing host immune response and look for ways to overcome the phenotypic resistance to antibiotics that results.For more i...

Michael E. DeBakey Lecture in the History of Medicine - Transplanting Technology: Dr. Michael DeBakey and Cold War Technology Transfer
2nd Annual Michael E. DeBakey Lecture in the History of Medicine
At the height of the Cold War, Dr. Michael E. DeBakey, one of the most prolific American surgeons of the 20th century, made several trips to China and the USSR to survey the medical landscape on the other side of the Iron Curtain. DeBakey became a broker of valuable medical information, teaching new techniques and introducing new machines in the USSR and China, while reporting on the conditions of Chinese and Soviet medical institutions back home to the American public. His diplomatic success was possible in part because of his willingness to take less high-t...
