Dr. Amy MacQueen Wesleyan University Host: Stacey HanlonZippers and Stitches in the Meiotic Nucleus Dr. MacQueen will present data that informs how we think one meiosis-specific protein, Zip1, manages to carry out two different jobs within the meiotic nucleus. Zip1 carries out two independent activities that each contribute to ensuring chromosomes generate a stable association with their proper (homologous) pairing partners, a task that is critical for the formation of gamete nuclei carrying the proper number of chromosomes. Interestingly, one of Zip1's critical jobs involves processing DNA recombination intermediates at discrete sites along chromosomes, while Zip1's other job involves the assembly of a relatively large chromosomal complex that globally "zips" the entire length of chromosome axes into close proximity. We have acquired data showing that Zip1's two activities are regulated by adjacent regions of its N terminal tip, and that phosphorylation may serve as a molecular "switch", changing Zip1's capacity to carry out these two roles.Publications:Full-Length Synaptonemal Complex Grows Continuously during Meiotic Prophase in Budding Yeast (https://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgen.1002993)Crossover recombination and synapsis are linked by adjacent regions within the N terminus of the Zip1 synaptonemal complex protein (https://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgen.1008201)Proximity labeling reveals new functional relationships between meiotic recombination proteins in S. cerevisiaeMacQueen Lab website (https://macqueenlab.research.wesleyan.edu/)

Vibrant paintings by Andrea Sanchez and Jaii Marc Renee on display in the Celeste LeWitt Gallery — Join us for a meet and greet from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 29.

Enjoy this unique exhibition of rock music memorabilia from the archive of editor, journalist, and radio disc jockey Ken Best. This personal collection features decades worth of iconic photos, album covers, posters and promotional materials that Best has amassed while writing about music for newspapers in New Jersey and Connecticut and interviewing musicians and authors on the radio at WPKN in Bridgeport and WHUS in Storrs. Highlighted will be 50 photos of major rock 'n' roll figures by Connecticut photographer Joseph Sia, including his famous image of Jimi Hendrix at Woolsey Hall in New Haven in 1968, known as "The Shadow," from Best and Sia's 1992 book,Eight Days a Week: An Illustrated Record of Rock 'n' Roll (Pomegranate Books).

17 artists across the UConn community have their artwork on display in our Connector Gallery.

All internships, work and placements off-campus must be authorized through Curricular Practical Training (CPT) or Pre-Completion Optional Practical Training (OPT), even if unpaid and required for your class or program. If you are considering a future off-campus work opportunity or placement, you are required to attend this workshop before you apply for CPT or Pre-Completion OPT with ISSS.

In response to feedback from participants in her previous trainings, instructor Ruth Pearlman has expanded this webinar to 2 parts. Even before COVID children were grieving losses that were not largely recognized or understood. COVID has magnified the grief experience of children on multiple levels. A child's response to loss is dependent on many factors including age, emotional development, relationship, and social supports. Ms. Pearlman will explore children's concepts of death and non-death losses applying Piaget's Cognitive Theory to understand how children conceptualize loss at each stage of development. Day 1 will focus on lecture with ample opportunity to ask questions and interact with the instructor and other participants. Day 2 will focus on the application of the content provided on the first day. Participation in both webinars is required for attendees to earn CECs. In this webinar, we will: Identify a spectrum of non-death losses in childhood Review Piaget's Cognitive Theory and apply it to children's understanding of loss Examine the role of magical thinking in children's developmental understanding of loss Identify modern grief terminology Specifically examine the loss and grief trajectory in the lives of children in foster/alternative care
