TITLE: Navigating the Weeds: Effects of Cannabis Use on Cognition, Mental Health, and the Stress Response
Hello! Our guest is sick and will not be able to give the talk for today’s event.
Drug delivery to the brain is a major challenge for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease due to the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), a highly selective barricade formed by microvascular endothelial cells. In recent years, nanoparticles have received a significant amount of interest for targeted drug delivery across the BBB.
Attendees will gain an understanding of the history of the Communication Science and Biology paradigm along with the theoretical grounding and unique methods used. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and participate in this scientific conversation.
A well-documented body of both experimental and theoretical studies seems to suggest systematic phase/chemical transformations of low Z molecular solids to covalent solids, ionic solids and, eventually, metallic solids under extreme conditions.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is the newest federal agency. We partner with both the private sector and other Federal agencies to secure critical infrastructure. During this seminar, we will discuss those relationships, the current threat landscape, and pathways for federal employment.
Research in STEM education (especially engineering education) has grown exponentially in the last decade.
“Left1 Overexpression Maintains Youthfulness of Two Distinct Fibroblast Lineages,” presented by Jasson Makker. Advisor: Dr. Jon Oatley.
“Manipulation of TNFα Signaling by Coxiella burnetii,” presented by Chelsea Osbron. Advisor: Dr. Alan Goodman.
Understanding the process can be very helpful to instructors and help ensure that accommodations are reasonable and appropriate, which is in everyone’s best interest.
Sustainable production systems (such as smart agriculture and infrastructural management) are facing tremendous challenges in their productivity, efficiency, and resilience due to world-wide growing populations, global supply chain crisis, changing climate, and the severe shortfall of resources and labor forces. Timely identifying and quantifying spatial and temporal variabilities in complex production systems and processes has been a crucial factor for improving production and resource management efficiency.
