Description:We will welcome two new faculty members\, Marcelo Melo from BMB
  and Will Jay from Physics\, who will give short presentations describing 
 their current research interests. Recognizing the significance of the rece
 ntly announced Nobel Prizes\, Will and Marcelo will briefly draw connectio
 ns to the Prizes in Physics and Chemistry respectively. Continuing this th
 eme\, Tai Montgomery from Biology will discuss the Nobel Prize in Physiolo
 gy or Medicine. We will then have an opportunity for informal conversation
 . The room is booked until 4:15.\n\nRefreshments will be provided.\n\nFacu
 lty\, students\, and postdoctoral fellows are welcome to attend.\n\nFrom s
 napshots to movies: Exploring the shape and dynamics of biomolecules\nSpea
 ker: Marcelo Melo\, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology\nBiol
 ogy is dynamic\, but capturing details of molecular motions remains a chal
 lenge. Computational methods allow us to explore\, with atomic detail\, th
 e interactions and transformations that molecules undergo to keep cells al
 ive and responsive to their environments.\n\nThe Standard Model and Beyond
 \nSpeaker: William Jay\, Department of Physics\nWhat are the basic buildin
 g blocks of nature? Answering this question requires understanding how par
 ticles like protons and neutrons arise from the dynamics of their constitu
 ent elementary particles. Emergent processes like these can be understood 
 using the theory of the strong subnuclear force—quantum chromodynamics.\
 n\nA Nobel Prize for MicroRNAs\nSpeaker: Tai Montgomery\, Department of Bi
 ology\nThe discovery of small gene-regulating molecules known as microRNAs
  earned Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun this year\\'s Nobel Prize in Medicin
 e or Physiology. But what exactly are microRNAs\, and why was this discove
 ry so important? 3:00 pm
