Biophysics Seminar Series - David Nelson (Harvard) "Range Expansions of Microorganisms in Structured Environments"

Biophysics Seminar Series - David Nelson (Harvard) "Range Expansions of Microorganisms in Structured Environments"
Mon, Mar 31, 2014, 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm
Biological organisms in the real world do not typically grow up in well-mixed test tubes or featureless Petri dishes, but instead must find ways to prosper in the presence of environmental inhomogeneities that vary in space.

Biophysics Seminar Series - Adrienne Fairhall (U. Washington) "Computation in neurons and networks"

Biophysics Seminar Series - Adrienne Fairhall (U. Washington) "Computation in neurons and networks"
Mon, Mar 24, 2014, 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm
Neural networks typically make use of simplified, stereotypical single neuron units, while in reality neurons show fascinating and diverse properties that give them a range of computational and representational powers.

Biophysics Seminar Series - David Biron (U.Chicago) "Worm sleep: a universal behavior meets a simple model system"
Mon, Feb 17, 2014, 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm
All animals sleep, or do they? This question remains controversial. If sleep is truly universal to the animal kingdom then even the simplest animal should sleep, and may offer valuable clues regarding the origin and core function of sleep (or perhaps provide insight by being an exception to the rule).
