The Modern Cuisine Movement: The Intersection of Science and Culinary ArtsAnthony Salvagno
In 1988, molecular gastronomy was born. The field is aimed to investigate the scientific processes of cooking by: (1) the social phenomena linked to culinary activity, (2) the artistic component of culinary activity, and (3) the technical component of culinary activity.

“Open source” is the act of providing software, technology, or process for free and inviting amendments and derivation. Open sourcing philosophy has emerged primarily in the software industry, but over the past decade the open movement has risen from an unconventional concept to an emerging approach now applied to many other fields including communication, STEM, art, and many others. When money is involved, open policies are seen as unfavorable and have been largely disregarded. Current resistance to open access is not well understood but may be stem from questions of profitability or fears of losing intellectual property. In this open discussion, which we want the audience to participate in, we hope to present the possibility of using open practices to build a successful business model. What if providing open access could make a company more profitable? What if transparency brought more customers? What’s more, what if open practices could add a new dimension to corporate social responsibility? We present the idea that openness in a corporation would actually be extremely beneficial to businesses and organizations alike, and could drive profitability and induce trust while minimizing corruption and ensuring corporate, societal, and fiscal responsibility.
Deuterium is present in all naturally occurring water, and accounts for 1 in 6420 hydrogen atoms. Seemingly insignificant, that ratio is actually quite impactful in life sciences. Pure deuterium oxide (heavy water) has been found to be toxic to eucharyotic organsims, and has been found to be inhibitory in smaller doses. Here I present results that demonstrate that in even smaller doses the concentration of deuterium has a dramatic effect on life processes. I also show that at the molecular level, deuterium has a stabilizing effect. By simply changing the properties of the solvent, there can be dramatic effects that impact a variety of experiments.

Presented on 2/15/13 for Student Research Day at UNM. Scientific information is published in peer reviewed journals as a complete account. Unfortunately there is nothing complete about the process. Frequently intermediate and supplementary experimental data is excluded, methods are not nearly detailed enough, and results are manipulated for appearance. Open notebook science aims to be a complete account of the scientific process: from ideas and planning, to experimental setup and protocol design, all the way through data interpretation and commentary. Here I
talk about tools to create and support an open notebook, effective use of the medium, and how social interaction creates a community using examples from my own open notebook for research.
Here I present some of the best tools for open notebook science and a brief discourse as to what open notebook science is, why it is important, and how it will permeate scientific culture.

Here I present examples from my notebook and from a case study of an open notebook community (Physics 308L Junior Lab).
BPS 2010 Poster Presentation: Shotgun DNA Mapping with YeastAnthony Salvagno
This is my poster presentation from the annual Biophysical Society Meeting in San Francisco, CA. I detail the current progress made in Shotgun DNA mapping and include an aside about open notebook science and my scientific life on the internet.
Here is a summary by Andy Maloney and myself. This describes what we basically do in the lab and why we have so much fun doing it. This presentation was a blast to make and I look forward to doing many more.

This is the presentation based on our propsal of the same name. The presenters were Laura Pawlikowski, John Montoya, Ken Seal, and myself. We discuss functionalizing an AFM tip with antibodies for protein detection and discuss several possible uses for such a device. Conceptually, proteins bound to DNA can be flowed down a nanochannel and can be detected by an AFM tip in the channel. The detection will be based on the interaction between antibodies and their antigens (the proteins).
Proposal for Protein-DNA Mapping using AFM for Lab on a ChipAnthony Salvagno
This was a report written for a class I am taking in conjunction with Ken Seal, John Montoya, and Laura Pawlikowski. We discuss functionalizing an AFM tip with antibodies for protein detection. Conceptually, proteins bound to DNA can be flowed down a nanochannel and can be detected by an AFM tip in the channel. The detection will be based on the interaction between antibodies and their antigens (the proteins). This proposal details everything we imagined. We presented on this topic as well.
This is a presentation I gave for my Candidacy for PhD. I present on the possibilities of probing protein-DNA interactions using Optical Tweezers. I discuss simulating force curves from optical tweezers, background information, and the molecular biological preparations involved. Finally I conclude with future applications of the technique that range from analysis of alternative splicing, transcriptional studies, and telomere mapping.
A practice talk about Shotgun DNA Mapping. I talk about gene expression, optical tweezers, unzipping DNA, mapping DNA fragments, telomeres, RNA transcription, and much more!
I made this presentation to show some collaborators whose lab I worked in last semester. In it I discuss the past, present, and future of Shotgun DNA Mapping and all that it contains.
My girlfriend made a presentation summarizing her REU experience. It is about gravitational lensing and the work she did trying to distinguish characteristics of lenses caused by galactic clusters. That is the best summary I can give.
The Biological Preparation Of Shotgun DNA Mapping 5/15/09Anthony Salvagno
This is a talk I gave at the 1st KochLab Symposium. This talk provides a glimpse into my work at Osley Lab during the Spring Semester of 2009 at UNM. I present making random genomic fragments, cloning those fragments, and ligating the fragments to a construct that enables said fragments to be unzipped using an Optical Tweezer.
This was a practice talk I gave in front of the IGERT people at UNM. It is a brief discussion of the things I do in KochLab up to this point (Summer 2008).
This is a talk I gave at the 1st KochLab Symposium. I briefly provide a crash course in genetics and how it relates to our research. I specifically talk about trascription, translation, DNA replication, restriction enzymes, plasmids, and some applications of all.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
