Germany SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-us:Alison Tebo: MOIA and Janelia's OIG joint seminar: I maging cellular biochemistry using chemical-genetic tools DESCRIPTION:External Faculty Speaker\nSpeaker: Alison Tebo\nInstitution: Ja nelia\, USA\nHost: Christian Tischer\, Dimitri Kromm\, Robert Prevedel\nAb stract: Fluorescence imaging has become an indispensable tool in cell and molecular biology. Fluorescent proteins such as GFP have revolutionized fl uorescence microscopy\, giving experimenters exquisite control over the lo calization and specificity of tagged constructs. However\, these systems p resent certain drawbacks so alternative hybrid systems based on the intera ction between a small molecule fluorophore and a protein have been develop ed. A way to avoid unspecific background in cells and achieve high imaging contrast is to use fluorescent probes that display no fluorescence until l abeling occurs. Such probes are often called fluorogenic probes to highlig ht their ability to generate fluorescence upon reaction/interaction with t heir target. A new fluorogenic hybrid system called the Fluorescence-activ ation and Absorption Shifting Tag (FAST) was developed\, which consists of a small protein tag that reversibly and dynamically binds a small molecule chromophore\, activating its fluorescence. Hybrid chemical-genetic systems such as FAST represent unique opportunities to extend the utility of the s ystem as the protein and fluorogen present two separate opportunities for engineering. I will present the development of techniques to image multipl e targets and to monitor protein-protein interactions.\nLink: https://www. janelia.org/content/optical-interest-group\nStream link: https://hhmi.zoom .us/j/91380798091?pwd=SFFCS0ZQZVpqQUMrS1VWODkwZVlKUT09\n DTSTART:20210302T080000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210228T193155Z DURATION:PT1H UID:www.embl.org/13346 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210228T193155Z LOCATION:Virtual seminar\, EMBL Heidelberg

Germany SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-us:Zehra Sayers: SESAME*: Defying borders in the Middle East DESCRIPTION:Science and Society\nSpeaker: Zehra Sayers\nInstitution: Sabanc i Universitesi\, Turkey\nHost: Lucia Von Bredow\nAbstract: Science and pri nciples of scientific conduct are universal leading to free communication of ideas and sharing of results\, as we have seen in the race for finding solutions for the global threat of the COVID-19 pandemic. Scientists have easily reached and collaborated across borders to achieve shared goals. In this lecture I will talk about a different collaborative project\, SESAME\ , that does not recognize conventional borders. This advanced synchrotron radiation infrastructure\, located in Jordan\, came to being through joint efforts by Cyprus\, Egypt\, Israel\, Iran\, Jordan\, Palestinian Authority \, Pakistan and Turkey\, and is supported by several observer countries. S ESAME creates a positive dynamism in the region by providing scientists wi th new tools at its beamlines and by opening possibilities for collaborati ons among scientists coming from diverse cultural and political background s. As well as science that is produced at SESAME\, I will also discuss dif ferent aspects of this project including how SESAME can become a truly int ernational lab and how this scientific endeavor can reach society at large \, beyond scientists.\n\n*Synchrotron light source for Experimental Scienc e and Applications in the Middle East\nLink: https://www.embl.de/aboutus/s cience_society/forum/forums_2021/16-04/\n DTSTART:20210416T110000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210228T193155Z DURATION:PT1H UID:www.embl.org/13340 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210228T193155Z LOCATION:Virtual\, EMBL Heidelberg

Germany SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-us:Michele Garfinkel: Research Ethics &\; Integrity: Science &\; Society Discussion Meeting DESCRIPTION:Science and Society\nSpeaker: Michele Garfinkel\nInstitution: E MBO\, NOT SPECIFIED\nHost: Michele Garfinkel\nAbstract: Research integrit y (or responsible conduct of research) describes a broad set of practices around how research is carried out. In the best case\, these practices are embedded in day-to-day work\, not separate from it. Depending on the setti ng\, these practices can address everything from selection and design of a research project to decisions about how\, where\, and what to publish\; an d to promulgating results in policy and public settings. I will give a bri ef overview of the landscape of research integrity. In that context I will then focus my remarks on responsible data handling\, from project concepti on to terminal storage and assuring access in perpetuity. I will describe current institutional and political views on the value of record-keeping t ools such as electronic notebooks and data management plans. I will also d iscuss researcher\, institutional\, and funder responsibilities in helping to assure that good practices regarding data handling are made clear and e asy to implement.\n\nPlease note that Hamburg-based staff will be prioriti sed (as this has been arranged by the Hamburg Science & Society Committee) . Places are limited\, and will be allocated on a first-come\, first-serve d basis. If you would like to participate\, please email Lucia von Bredow (lucia.von.bredow@embl.de) to reserve a place. The discussion meeting will take the form of an interactive workshop\, and is open to anyone intereste d in learning more about research ethics\, integrity\, and responsible dat a handling.\n DTSTART:20210422T100000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210228T193155Z DURATION:PT1H UID:www.embl.org/13342 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210228T193155Z LOCATION:Virtual\, EMBL Heidelberg
