Biology staff and students take ALS ice-bucket challenge

Posted: Published on September 18th, 2014

Photo Courtesy of The University of Akron Marketing and Communications Department Assistant Professor Jordan Renna and students take the ALS Ice-Bucket Challenge By Michelle DeShon, Writer September 17, 2014 Filed under News, Showcase Over 100 liters of ice-cold water plummeted onto students and faculty of the Department of Biology who took the ALS Ice-Bucket Challenge. Assistant Professor of Biology, Jordan M. Renna and students in the Neuroscience in Health and Disease class also donated $730 to raise awareness for ALS. Renna was nominated to do the challenge, but he thought he could make a bigger splash if more people joined him. He let students vote anonymously to see if they would like to take part in the challenge. Renna told the students that doing the challenge was not for a grade and not for extra credit. The vast majority of the class voted yes. The professor emphasized that the students were the ones who pushed participation in the challenge. He said that it would not have been possible without their generosity. The students raised $365, which the Department of Biology staff matched, resulting in $730. The professor nominated Kent State Universitys Department of Biological Sciences and all neuroscience classes in … Continue reading

Genius grant recipients brain research offers clues for disease diagnostics to brain injury treatment

Posted: Published on September 18th, 2014

A University of Pennsylvania bioengineering professor has won a MacArthur Fellowship genius grant to get a better read of how the brain makes connections. By studying connectivity changes in the brain and enlisting physics and math, Danielle Bassett and her team were able to develop insights on the ability (and inability) of the brain to learn. The brain research by Bassett, who is the Skirkanich Assistant Professor of Innovation at the university, could have ramifications for disease diagnostics and therapeutics and recovery from brain injuries. Bassett tapped her mathematical know-how using complex networks to analyze interactions with neurons in different parts of the brain as someone learns something new or is trying to recall a face to understand how those connections are carried out by functions in the brain. As part of the grant award, Bassett will receive a stipend of $625,000, paid out over five years with no stipulations attached to it. She is one of 21 to receive the honor. Heres a summary of her research from the announcement: Using brain imaging data of people learning a motor task over three distinct time periods, Bassett and colleagues found that a persons ability to learn can be predicted based … Continue reading

Penn researcher Danielle Bassett wins a ‘genius grant’

Posted: Published on September 18th, 2014

The winners generally have no inkling they are under consideration. The money, doled out over five years, comes with no strings attached. "I'm still processing that this is actually happening," said Bassett, the youngest of this year's fellows. Also among the winners are graphic memoirist and cartoonist Alison Bechdel, who grew up in Lock Haven; jazz composer and saxophonist Steve Coleman, of Allentown; and University of Pittsburgh writing professor and poet Terrance Hayes. Tara Zahra, a 1998 graduate of Swarthmore College, was honored for her work as a historian of modern Europe. In a group being honored for creative brains, it makes sense that one, Bassett, studies the very quality that makes brains flexible. An assistant professor of bioengineering at Penn, she applies a discipline called network science to the study of how we learn. She and colleagues indirectly measure the brain activity of research subjects with a type of MRI machine, monitoring how different regions of the brain interact as people learn. Those with flexible brains - meaning they are adept at trying various strategies and forging connections - seem to be the best at acquiring new knowledge, she said. This agility can be seen on brain scans as … Continue reading
