In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Still Accepting Applications for Autumn Term at FHL! Hi all, We are still accepting students for the upcoming autumn quarter! Applications for autumn term can be found here. Join Autumn Marine Studies at Friday Harbor Laboratories! Autumn marine studies is a package of three courses offered at Friday Harbor Laboratories this upcoming term. We are still seeking students for the program and have financial aid available. Take the opportunity to join us here on beautiful San Juan Island and earn 16 credits of 400 level courses this fall. In Comparative Anatomy and Physiology, you will study the form and function of various marine plants and animals with our very own fish morphology expert Dr. Adam Summers. Spend your time studying live organisms collected locally in a hands-on small classroom setting and explore the biomechanics of marine organisms and the environment they live in! For a zoomed-out perspective of the Salish Sea you?ll study the Ecology and Human Interactions in the Salish Sea, with a particular focus on the indigenous peoples? historical management of the area. This course includes many field trips as well as direct interaction and exchange of knowledge with other scientists, practitioners, and tribal citizens. Autumn Marine Studies also includes a 6-credit research portion which is being taught by a long time Friday Harbor Labs researcher Dr. Eric Edsinger who said this about his research focus: ?Marine invertebrates use genetic components that are also critical to brain function in humans. This includes stages or species capable of rapid responses to environmental signals but where no nervous system is present. In this course students will perform research to identify and test potential roles of ?brain? components in ?no-brain? swimming of marine invertebrate larvae. Field work will focus on plankton and animal collection, taking advantage of local biodiversity in the Salish Sea. Laboratory work will use unique equipment available at Friday Harbor Labs. Students will learn techniques in imaging, including confocal microscopy, and will build imaging rigs to conduct pharmacological larval behavior assays. Computational work will involve analysis of ?human brain? gene families across animals, cutting-edge tools in 3D protein structure and generative AI, and video analysis of larval swimming and fluid dynamics. Ultimately, student research will advance our understanding of marine invertebrate larvae, with potentially novel insights into ancient origins of the human brain.? Take the opportunity to connect marine organisms to the diverse fields of behavior and neurobiology while learning new research techniques and methodologies!

Performances will take place at the Ethnic Cultural Theatre from 5 PM - 6 PM. An art gallery will then proceed from 6 PM - 7 PM in the Ethnic Cultural Center Unity Suite. We are looking for one more person or group that is interested in sharing their performing talents; anyone that is interested should complete this form: https://forms.gle/SxE3rF8j3KZRhyau8.

Submissions are due on September 17th, and you will hear back from us by September 29th! If you?re interested in displaying your art but don?t know how to connect your works to neuroscience, please contact Jeanne at jeannevn@uw.edu. We?d be happy to help you brainstorm some connections between themes. Grey Matters will provide easels and tables/chairs for artists to talk to viewers alongside their work(s). Finally, we are recruiting for day-of volunteers! Please submit this form: https://forms.gle/jKJTiUk5fKCvp6er6.
