Mark Rhodes (SS) is the author of an article published in the journal Political Geography.

The article is titled "National Museum Wales and the scalar bureaucracies of institutional memory work."

In the article, Rhodes argues for a more deliberate focus on studying the bureaucracy which shapes our cultural heritage institutions, particularly considering how multiple scales of bureaucracy work in tandem.

Rhodes' case study, the seven-museum National Museum Wales system funded and overseen at arm's length by the Welsh government, offers a unique lens into a national-scale bureaucracy that must simultaneously negotiate with the larger state (United Kingdom), region (European heritage institutions), globe (UNESCO's World Heritage program) and local municipalities and communities.

CFRES Seminar with Stephen Spear

The College of Forest Resources and Environmental Science (CFRES) will host a seminar at 12:30 p.m. today (March 28) in Noblet G002 with speaker Stephen Spear, research biologist, U.S. Geological Survey, Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center, La Crosse, Wisconsin.

The title of Spear's talk is "No Time to Wait: Developing Rapid, Field Portable Environmental DNA Detection Methods for Early Surveillance of Invasive Species."

From the abstract:
Recent developments in point-of-use genetic testing have created the opportunity for biologists and managers to detect environmental DNA (eDNA) of target species rapidly in the field or other non-laboratory settings. These point-of-use protocols may be especially useful for early detection and rapid response for invasive species where immediate results are needed. These workflows can be flexible with a variety of eDNA collection methods (water, air, solid substrates) but require optimization of rapid extraction techniques as well as alternative approaches to PCR, such as isothermal methods. I will highlight ongoing projects developing and testing these workflows for targets such as dreissenid mussels, invasive carp, and terrestrial insects, as well as highlight future needs and opportunities for full implementation.

BioSci Seminar Series Speaker: Dr. Nobuaki Kikyo

Dr. Nobuaki Kikyo will present virtually as part of the Department of Biological Sciences (BioSci) Seminar Series from 3-4 p.m. today (March 28) via Zoom.

Kikyo's presentation is titled "The circadian regulator PER1 promotes cell reprogramming by inhibiting inflammatory signaling from macrophages."

From the abstract:
Circadian regulation of gene expression is prevalent and plays critical roles in cell differentiation. However, its roles in the reprogramming of differentiated cells remain largely unknown. We recently found that one of the master circadian regulators PER1 promoted virus-mediated reprogramming of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) to induced neurons and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells). Unexpectedly, PER1 achieved this by repressing inflammatory activation of contaminating macrophages in the MEF culture, rather than by directly modulating the reprogrammability of MEFs. This study uncovers mechanistic links between cell reprogramming, bystander inflammatory macrophages, and circadian rhythms, which are particularly relevant to in vivo reprogramming and organoid formation incorporating immune cells.

Kikyo is a member of the Stem Cell Institute and the Masonic Cancer Center. He received his M.D. and Ph.D. from Tokyo University Medical School, Japan. He studied genomic imprinting in Azim Surani’s laboratory at Wellcome/CRC Institute, University of Cambridge, as a postdoctoral fellow. He then moved to Alan Wolffe’s laboratory at the National Institutes of Health to study biochemical mechanisms of somatic cell nuclear cloning with Xenopus. After becoming a principal investigator at the University of Minnesota, he expanded the research to the circadian regulation of myogenesis, bone remodeling and the reprogramming of fibroblasts to iPS cells and induced neurons.

MSE Seminar with Caleb Stetson

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) is hosting a seminar presented by Caleb Stetson, Idaho National Laboratory, today (March 28) from 1-2 p.m. in M&M 610.

Stetson will present "Critical Minerals and Materials: Securing a Domestic Supply Chain for 21st Century Technology."

From the abstract:
Global demand for critical minerals and materials required for next-generation technologies is projected to surpass production in the coming years. Moreover, geopolitical strife has further restricted the exchange of CMMs on global trade markets. CMMs are a broad category of minerals and materials required for permanent magnets, lithium-ion batteries, and semiconductors. North American targets for vehicle electrification and clean energy generation are threatened by this supply chain insecurity. Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has contributed research in CMM separations as a core team member of the Critical Materials Innovation (CMI) Hub, which is now in its 11th year of research operations. INL research contributions to CMI include electrochemically enhanced separations, solvent-driven separations, and biologically driven processes. Each of these technologies presents an opportunity to reduce the energy and reagent required for separations while also reducing waste generation. This seminar will give a broad overview of the CMM landscape, followed by research progress and opportunities. Individual separation technologies will be discussed. Lastly, active and future CMM resource extraction operations in the Upper Peninsula region will be discussed.

Stetson is a research scientist in the Material Separations & Analysis Department at Idaho National Laboratory (INL). Prior to joining INL in 2020, he completed his Ph.D. in Materials Science at the Colorado School of Mines, where he also completed internships in the mining and extractive metallurgy industries. His Ph.D. research focused on the development of scanning probe microscopy-based approaches to characterize the solid electrolyte interphase on next generation lithium-ion battery anodes. This graduate research was conducted at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Vehicle Technologies Office.

Stetson also holds a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering and English from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a M.Sc. in Bioengineering and nanotechnology from Tampere University of Technology in Finland, where his thesis work focused on operation and maintenance of advanced X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy systems.

As of 2024, Stetson has authored 25 peer-reviewed publications and three patents. Beyond his educational and research experience, he was in active-duty military service in the U.S. Air Force and spent five years in the private sector working internationally in education, engineering and consulting in Europe, the Middle East and China.
