James Rising: Planet on a plate: Building an integrated model of food production
Energy and Resources Group Spring 2015 Colloquium Series (ER295)
Sheila McCormick: The History and Future of Pollen Molecular Biology: Technique Development, Discoveries andRemaining Challenges
The McCormick Lab studies plant reproduction using biochemistry, cell biology, genetics and molecular biology, in 3 projects: 1) Pollen tube growth: they characterize signal transduction pathways mediated through pollen-specific receptor kinases; 2) Pollen development and function: they characterize mutations that affect transmission through the male parent; and 3) Gamete biology: the...
Andy Lane: Ignite DNA Editing Supergroup
The Ignite DNA Editing Supergroup is a new seminar series that will highlight cutting-edge research in genomic engineering from labs across the greater Bay Area. Come hear the latest and greatest in an informal setting. Talks will be in the “Ignite” format: 5 minutes, 20 slides on 15-second auto-advance. Just enough time to tell one story well.

Michael Landis, PhD Candidate: The Intersection Between Computers and Biological Thought
Learn about the power of programming and computational biology on this episode of The Graduates, hosted bimonthly by Tesla Monson. Michael Landis, PhD candidate in Integrative Biology, will discuss his work modelling phylogenetics and Brownian Motion. In the episode, Landis also talks about continuous trait models and biogeography.
Bruce Lipton: Stem Cell Biologist Bruce Lipton at the Berkeley Forum
Lipton is an internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. Stem cell biologist, bestselling author of The Biology of Belief and recipient of the 2009 Goi Peace Award, he has been a guest speaker on hundreds of TV and radio shows, as well as keynote presenter for national and international conferences. He will be speaking on his theory of empowering oneself through a deeper...
Dr. Ryan Gutenkunst: Center for Computational Biology Seminar: Dr. Ryan Gutenkunst
Inferring natural selection on proteins from network- and population-scale models My group aims to understand how mutation and natural selection drive the evolution of the complex biomolecular networks that underlie life. To do so, we build detailed computational models to compare with genomic and molecular biology data. I'll first discuss recent “bottom-up” work in which we are using...
