In the global effort to combat climate change, wind energy is of paramount importance in transitioning away from fossil fuels. But wind power comes with a challenge: It is not always blowing when we need it.

Late Lunch Talk by Iris Bea Ramiro
This spring, two student groups designed their own mission, built the hardware and software, integrated and tested their devices, before launching their equipment on weather balloons at Andøya.
The REPEAT group (PIs: Kjetill S. Jakobsen and Melinka A. Butenko) are interested in the functional and evolutionary importance of short tandem repeats in genomes. Short tandem repeats are common, but hypermutable regions. This leads to a high number of short tandem repeat variants in a population. We have combined population genomics and experimental approaches to study the impact of short tandem repeat alleles in Arabidopsis, with emphasis on their role in gene regulation and how they impact protein function. Based on our findings from Arabidopsis, we conducted a study of repeats across 1,270 species, including animal, fungal, plant, and other eukaryotic genomes. In this seminar I will present the results from this (recently submitted) study.

The longterm effect of clear-cut forestry on the understory vegetation
The University of Minnesota – Twin Cities Physics Department is restructuring its upper-level curriculum to integrate computation throughout the physics major courses. While this change has the potential to ensure that all students learn context-specific computing, it may also impact the ways students think of themselves as ‘physics people’ and of physics computational literacy.
