MIND AND BODY: SUPPORT AND EMPOWERMENT FOR STUDENTS WITH CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS.

This weekly group is for students adjusting to coping with chronic health conditions in a university setting.

Host: Leighton Core

Role of Enhancers in Priming Genes Promoting Cancer
Enhancers are non-coding genomic elements that regulate gene expression. I will share my recent work on developing a novel single-cell method that quantifies enhancer and gene activities in individual cells and how such methods can identify cancer-promoting enhancers and elucidate the underlying mechanisms of immunosuppression.

Jay Mahat is a Research Scientist at the Koch Institute of Integrative Cancer Research at MIT. He received his Ph.D. fromCornell University, where he worked with John Lis to dissect the mechanisms of mammalian gene regulation. He then joinedPhil Sharp’s lab at MIT to study the role of non-coding genomes in gene regulation and its dysregulation in diseases. Herecently developed a single-cell nascent RNA sequencing method and unveiled the coordinated transcription throughout thegenome by precisely quantifying active enhancers and genes in individual cells. He has also discovered the role of enhancersin pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma to amplify the expression of immunosuppressive chemokine genes. He is currentlyfocused on utilizing single-cell nascent transcriptomics to study diseases of immune dysfunction, focusing particularly ondissecting the dysregulated transcription program in pancreatic cancers and identifying the genes and pathways impacted bythe genomic risk variants associated with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

The Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture relates the leading coefficient of the \(L\)-function of an elliptic curve at its central critical point to global arithmetic invariants of the elliptic curve. Beilinson’s conjectures generalize the BSD conjecture to formulas of values of motivic \(L\)-functions at non-critical points. In this talk, I will present a construction of motivic cohomology classes, with non-trivial coefficients, of Picard modular surfaces and relate it to the non-critical value of the standard \(L\)-function of some automorphic representations of the group \((2,1)\).

Analysis of spatially clustered survival data with unobserved covariates using SBART

Presented by Debajyoti Sinha, Florida State University

DATE: Wednesday, September 4, 2024, 4:00 PM, AUST 202

Webex Meeting Link
Coffee will be served at 3:00 pm in the Noether Lounge (AUST 326)

Usual parametric and semi-parametric regression methods are inappropriate and inadequate for large, clustered survival studies when the appropriate functional forms of the covariates and their interactions in hazard functions are unknown, and random cluster effects as well as some unknown cluster-level covariates are spatially correlated. We present a general nonparametric method for such studies under the Bayesian ensemble learning paradigm called Soft Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (SBART in short).

Our additional methodological and computational challenges include large number of clusters, variable cluster sizes, and proper statistical augmentation of the unobservable cluster-level covariate using a data registry different from the main survival study. We use an innovative 3-step computational tool based on latent variables to address our computational challenges.

We illustrate the practical implementation of our method and its advantages over existing methods by assessing the impacts of intervention in some cluster/county level and patient-level covariates to mitigate existing racial disparity in breast cancer survival in 67 Florida counties (clusters) using two different data resources. Florida Cancer Registry (FCR) is used to obtain clustered survival data with patient-level covariates, and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (BRFSS) is used as to obtain further data information on an unobservable county-level covariate of Screening Mammography Utilization (SMU). We also compare our method with existing analysis methods through simulation studies.

Speaker Bio:

Dr. Sinha is the Ron & Carolyn Hobbs Endowed Chair in Statistics at Florida State University. He obtained his Ph.D. in Statistics from University of Rochester in 1993. He His main research interests include survival analysis, Bayesian biostatistics, modeling cancer prevention data, cure rate survival data, modeling cancer relapse data and semiparametric empirical Bayes.

A vital question for each student is, “Where is the line – where is my line - between academic success and emotional stability?” In turn, she will also ask honors administrators attendees about the degree to which we both promulgate the “perfectionism syndrome” among our Honors students and could ourselves be plagued by this “hidden depression.”

You won’t want to miss this installment of the Council of Honors Education (COHE) All-Access meeting led by Dr. Rutherford, whose 2023 TEDx on “how to recognize perfectly hidden depression” has earned over 1M views!

Calculus courses present the derivatives of all the basic trigonometric functions, but they present the power series of sin \(x\) and cos \(x\) while ignoring the power series of the other trigonometric functions. Why is that?

In this talk we will discuss the power series of tan \(x\), whose coefficients turn out to have connections to the binomial theorem and combinatorics.

Note: Free refreshments. The talk starts at 5:40.

Speaker: Rudradeep Mukherjee

Title: “Modeling Effects On Transcription Cycle Using Nascent Transcriptomic Data”

Via Webex: https://uconnhealth.webex.com/meet/pmendeshttps://uconnhealth.webex.com/uconnhealth/j.php?MTID=mdacf393cf6a2ee5314a3b76525ea5e57

Therapeutic Yoga skillfully blends movement and breathwork, with a meditative focus for a full body practice that calms, nurtures, strengthens and opens one into flexibility of body and mind.

Yoga is protective and enlivening.

Freeing you from habitual patterns of tension, this yoga creates a sense of spaciousness within, dissolves stress, strengthens core muscles, joint health, centeredness, postural alignment and groundedness, increases breath capacity and breath awareness, shifts stagnant emotions into movement and release, and is attentive to the subtle stuff of the mind, helping to free us from the driving forces of unconscious actions and thoughts.

You’ll practice yogic techniques that you can bring into your everyday experience for simply living a good day, and for increasing your capacity to be creatively present in your life. A yogic attitude toward self and practice is one of kindness, patience, and tenderness. We grow into our best selves in an inner atmosphere of loving care.

Broadly speaking, effective topology is the study of topology from the perspective of computability theory. We can look at a construction in classical topology and ask, “is there an algorithm that can carry out this construction?”

In this talk, we analyze the following fact: every infinite Hausdorff topological space has an infinite discrete subspace. While this fact is not too hard to prove (try it!), it has turned out to be fascinating from the perspective of computability theory; for example, there is no one algorithm for finding a discrete subspace that works on all Hausdorff spaces. We will explore further questions and partial results that have come from this investigation.

All relevant computability background will be introduced. Some of this talk is based on a joint paper by Heidi Benham, Java Darleen Villano, Damir Dzhafarov, Reed Solomon, and myself.

UConn Waterbury will be hosting Suicide Prevention Week. Students will be able to participate in the “Field of Memories” activity throughout the week, engage in mental health screenings and get resources from community providers. 

Students will be given small yellow flags to write encouraging messages to one another. These flags will be placed in the grass in the courtyard as a representation of the number of college students that end their life to suicide each year. The “field” will be on display all week. 

Several community agencies will be on campus during Suicide Prevention Week to provide educational information to students on suicide prevention and resources. 

Presented by the Center for Career Development

About the Program: Members of the UConn Law Clerkship Committee will speak and answer questions about judicial clerkships in an informal setting. While any students interested in learning more about clerkships are welcome, there will be a focus on action steps for students seeking positions in the fall of 2026 (predominantly 2L day and 3L evening division students), including planning for letters of recommendation and selecting and finalizing writing samples. Students interested in clerkships in 2025 (3LD/4LE) and 2026 (2LD/3LE) are particularly encouraged to attend.

*A note on the clerkship application timeline: while exact application deadlines vary, clerkship applications are generally due about one year in advance of the clerkship (late spring/early summer of 2LD/3LE year). However, there are additional clerkship opportunities with application deadlines in students’ 3LD/4LE year.

Activities include research presentations, reading groups, and external speakers.

Dungeon’s and Therapy

Role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, and Quest allow participants to take on the persona of fictional characters and to complete daring adventures across mysterious worlds. This therapy group takes the core elements of these games but also challenges you to set goals that will help change your behavior, attitude, and mindset in the real world.

In Dungeons & Therapy, you will work with a mental health clinician to create a fantasy character that is personalized to you and your goals. This character might excel at something with which you struggle, be the complete opposite of who you are, or be designed to help you emphasize any given attribute. Within sessions of Dungeons & Therapy, you will interact with other players not only to find treasures, solve puzzles, and converse with enigmatic individuals - but also to express meaningful parts of yourself.

No previous experience with Dungeons & Dragons or any other RPG is required.

To join this group therapy session, please call SHaW at 860-486-4705.

For many concerns that students face – like overwhelming stress, anxiety, difficult relationships, depression, academic difficulties, and more – group therapy is the best option for support and healing. Facilitated by Student Health and Wellness (SHaW) counselors, our therapy groups encourage peer support, promote emotional wellbeing, and increase a felt sense of connection. Participants often find that they feel less alone in their struggles, and walk away with newfound support and ideas for coping.
