A current project in my laboratory is investigating the mechanism and regulation of mitotic ER reorganization during cell division. It is unclear what factors are involved in reorganization of the ER and if these dramatic changes are cell cycle regulated? We will examine mitotic ER reorganization in the rapid divisions ...
Superconductivity in layered nickelatesUnconventional superconductivity in proximity to various strongly correlated phases has been a recurring theme in materials as diverse as heavy fermion compounds, cuprates, pnictides, and twisted bilayer graphene. Here we will discuss a growing family of layered nickelate superconductors. The initial discovery of superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates was motivated by ...
Join us for this special edition of the What Physicists Do series, where we will hear from Sonoma State physicists and astronomers. In these talks, we will hear about their individual journeys through physics and astronomy. Additionally, they will teach us about some of the exciting phenomena in their subfields ...

Decoding the Molecular Logic of Tissue-Intrinsic Inflammatory SignalingInflammation is regulated not only by immune cells, but also by receptor signaling circuits within tissues themselves. Epithelial and stromal cells produce cytokines that act locally on neighboring cells or feed back on the producing cells to regulate tissue responses to injury and inflammation. However, the molecular mechanisms governing these ...

Learning without a brain - how a single cell processes informationCells show a range of complex behaviors which might normally associated with cognition, including basic forms of learning such as habituation. The giant single-celled ciliate Stentor coeruleus is a pond-dwelling organism that attaches to substrates like pond plants and filter feeds by means of a ring of cilia at one ...
Rocks may seem ordinary and ubiquitous, but they are the foundation of the geomaterials that underpin modern society??"from cement in our built environment to the critical minerals in our smartphones and energy technologies. As the energy transition accelerates and demand for physical infrastructure grows, demand for materials is increasing rapidly. ...
This interactive talk explores the landscape of psychedelic medicine, with a particular focus on the potential therapeutic use of ibogaine. Dr. Maheen Mausoof Adamson, Clinical Professor of Neurosurgery at Stanford School of Medicine, draws on 20 years of experience working with veterans to walk through what is currently known about ...
