  Molecular and Cellular Biology Departmental Talks

  2:00pm

  at Clendenin Building, CL 1009

  Speaker: Dr. Jennifer Fenner-Range
  Title: "Insights on developmental timing from marine invertebrate embryos"
  Abstract: How exactly time and rate are controlled during embryogenesis is still a major unanswered question in animal development. My research seeks to examine this question using sea urchin and hemichordate embryos as model systems. Using multispecies comparisons between temperate and Antarctic animals we can begin to characterize the general molecular mechanism that control the timing of major embryonic events such as axial patterning and germ layer specification. My talk will cover what marine invertebrates, Wnt signaling, and circadian rhythm genes can tell us about the timing of major events in embryogenesis.

   

  Dr. Jennifer Fenner-Range​​​​​​​ is a faculty candidate for the Assistant Professor of Cell Biology in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology. All CSM faculty, staff, and students are invited to join us for this talk.

  Lecture with Dr. Samuel Fleischacker, PhD

  10:10am

  Lecture 1: “Learning from Adam Smith Today”
  Time: 10:10 am - 11:00 am
  Location: ENG Building, 102

  Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations was published 250 years ago (exactly: in March, 1776) — why suppose it is still relevant?  There are answers to that question that take Smith to anticipate left- or right-wing policies in the modern day.  I shall instead talk about aspects of Smith that are useful for thinking about policy regardless of our particular political perspectives.

  Lecture 2: “What Was So Great about 18th-Century Scotland?”
  Time: 11:15 am - 1 2:05 pm
  Location: Convocation Center, 2016

  It’s widely agreed that the center for philosophy in the United Kingdom, during the Enlightenment, was Scotland rather than England.   This lecture will explain why, focusing on the work of Frances Hutcheson, David Hume and Adam Smith, and on the importance of sociability, and of emotion, in their work.

  Molecular and Cellular Biology Departmental Talks

  1:00pm

  at Clendenin Building, CL 1009

  Speaker: Dr. Katy Ong
  Title: Tumor-host interactions driving systemic effects of cancer"
  Abstract: In addition to perturbing tissues physically through invasion and metastasis, cancer cells also harm distant host organs through long range signaling. The systemic effects of these signals drive lethal “paraneoplastic” syndromes such as cachexia or blood-clotting dysfunction (coagulopathy). Despite their devastating impact, systemic effects remain the least understood facet of cancer biology. I will discuss my work towards illuminating these effects using a novel Drosophila ovarian carcinoma model that recapitulates multiple human paraneoplasias. I will present mechanistic studies on malignancy-driven coagulopathy and its capacity to amplify pathological, localized inflammation. Additionally, I will discuss a new line of inquiry into tumor-derived extracellular vesicle signaling. Collectively, this body of work demonstrates the power of the humble fruitfly to uncover ancient and conserved systemic responses to transformed tissues.

   

  Dr. Katy Ong is a faculty candidate for the Assistant Professor of Cell Biology in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology. All CSM faculty, staff, and students are invited to join us for this talk.

  Using Rubrics for Grading Assessments

  1:00pm

  Have you used rubrics for your online assessments before? Have you been frustrated using the rubrics tool in D2L? Do you know that rubrics can improve student performance by providing clarity on student expectations?

  In the webinar “Using Rubrics for Grading Assessments”, we will talk about two different types of rubrics and why using rubrics can help instructors build a presence in their courses through inbuilt feedback and clear assessment guidelines. We will also take this opportunity to focus on how rubrics can help improve student performance and the quality of student learning and make grading a fair and impartial process. During the webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use the rubrics tool in D2L and how instructors can easily evaluate student work and provide feedback.

  Rubrics have proved to reduce grading time for instructors and help provide consistent feedback to students over the long run. If you are interested in using rubrics for an upcoming online class, please attend this 60-minute webinar on April-20 2023, at 2 pm on Teams.

  Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar

  2:30pm

  Speaker: Caleb Marshall, University of British Columbia
  Title: “Projections of Unrectifiable Sets and the Favard Length Problem in R^d”
  Abstract: A compact set $E \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ (with $d \geq 2$) of positive length is said to be a (purely $1$)-unrectifiable set if, for all Lipschitz curves $\Gamma \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, the intersection $E \cap \Gamma$ is has zero length (where \textit{length} is given by the $1$-dims. Hausdorff measure). The classical \textit{Besicovitch-Federer theorem} states: a compact set $E \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ of positive and finite length is purely $1$-unrectifiable iff $\lim_{\delta \rightarrow 0} \psi_E (\delta) = 0$, where $\psi_E (\delta)$ measures the average length of the orthogonal projections of the $\delta$-neighbourhood of $E$ onto $1$-dims. linear subspaces. Estimating (from both above and below) the asymptotic behaviour of $\psi_E (\delta)$ as $\delta \rightarrow 0$ is known as the \textit{Favard length problem}.

   

  In this talk, we will discuss my recent work on the Favard length problem for self-similar sets, which establishes the first non-trivial asymptotic upper bounds for the Favard length problem in all dimensions $d \geq 3$. We highlight connections of this problem to $L^2$ estimates for oscillatory integrals, as well as new structure theorems for roots of unity on the complex unit circle (established in my recent joint work with G. Kiss, I. {\L}aba and G. Somlai). We conclude with a discussion of open questions and ongoing joint work with P. Bright, K. Taylor, and R. Bongers on variations of the Favard length problem at the American Institute of Mathematics at CalTech.

   

  All are welcome, and students are especially encouraged to join, as the first portion of the talk will be introductory to the subject of orthogonal projections of unrectifiable sets, with a focus on concrete examples and visual aids.

   

  The Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar is intended for Kennesaw State faculty working in the various areas of analysis and applied mathematics to get together to discuss their current work or related questions. Seminars often involve advanced mathematical knowledge. However, the seminars are open to anyone interested in attending.

  Molecular and Cellular Biology Departmental Talks

  2:30pm

  at Clendenin Building, CL 1009

  Speaker: Dr. Corey Cunningham
  Title: "SLC16A6 is the Molecular Gatekeeper of Pigmentation"
  Abstract: Cells maintain their homeostasis by organizing metabolic pathways into distinct organelles, each of which requires precise transport of metabolites across its membranes. This activity is largely carried out by solute carriers (SLCs), a large family of more than 430 human transporters. Importantly, over 20% of these transporters remain uncharacterized and represent an untapped potential source of discovery for new biological processes as well as therapeutic avenues. We recently investigated one such understudied transporter, SLC16A6, whose substrate, localization, and physiological role had remained unclear. Our work reveals that SLC16A6 resides on endosomal and melanosomal membranes and is required for the proper maintenance of both melanosomes—the organelles that produce the pigment melanin—and lysosomes. In melanoma cells, loss of SLC16A6 compromises normal cell growth and disrupts melanin production and lysosomal integrity. Strikingly, SLC16A6 genetic deletion also changes melanoma cell identity, accompanied by reduced levels of the key transcription factors SOX10 and MITF, which regulate both pigment production and melanoma biology. Our latest data indicate that SLC16A6 transports tyrosine, the precursor for melanin, into developing melanosomes. Together, these findings identify SLC16A6 as a metabolite transporter that is central in melanosome biogenesis and highlight the powerful biological insights still hidden within the many uncharacterized SLC proteins.

   

  Dr. Corey Cunningham is a faculty candidate for the Assistant Professor of Cell Biology in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology. All CSM faculty, staff, and students are invited to join us for this talk.

  Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar

  2:30pm

  Speaker: Dr. Elisabeth Werner, Case Western Reserve University
  Title: “The $L_p$-Floating Area, Entropy, and Isoperimetric Inequalities on the Sphere”
  Abstract: The floating area was previously investigated as a natural extension of classical affine surface area to non-Euclidean convex bodies in spaces of constant positive curvature. We  introduce the family of $L_p$-floating areas for spherical convex bodies, as an analog to  $L_p$-affine surface area measures from Euclidean geometry. We investigate a duality formula, monotonicity and isoperimetric inequalities for this new family of curvature measures on spherical convex bodies. If time permits, we introduce a new entropy functional for spherical convex bodies using the \$L_p$-floating area, and a dual isoperimetric inequality is established. Based on joint works with Florian Besau.

   

  The Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar is intended for Kennesaw State faculty working in the various areas of analysis and applied mathematics to get together to discuss their current work or related questions. Seminars often involve advanced mathematical knowledge. However, the seminars are open to anyone interested in attending.

  Building Relationships, Supporting Legible Sovereignties: Developing the Homelands Exhibition at McClung Museum with Dr. Lisa King

  11:00am

  Every college and university in the United States is built on Indigenous lands, though the vast majority of these institutions are not well-equipped to understand the relationships and obligations this fact entails. Moreover, many of these institutions have Native American/Indigenous collections in their keeping that may not be NAGPRA compliant, creating further complications and obligations to Native Nations. How does an institution, or even parts of an institution, begin repair work to build relationships with and obligations to Native Nations?  This presentation uses Dr. King’s experiences working with the McClung Museum at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and the creation of the Homelands: Connecting to Mounds Through Native Art exhibition alongside four Native Nations as an example of how we can support Indigenous voices and begin the long process of developing better relationships to the peoples whose land we are on. 

   

  Lisa King is Associate Professor of Rhetoric, Writing, and Linguistics and Director of First Year Writing in the Department of English at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. Her work is interdisciplinary, based on cultural rhetorics with an emphasis in contemporary Native American/Indigenous rhetorics. She is co-editor of Survivance, Sovereignty, and Story: Teaching American Indian Rhetorics (with Joyce Rain Anderson and Rose Gubele, 2015) and Decolonial Possibilities:  Indigenously Rooted Practices in Rhetoric and Writing (with Andrea Riley Mukavetz, 2025), and author of Legible Sovereignties: Rhetoric, Representations, and Native American Museums (2017). She is also co-curator on a collaborative exhibition with four Native Nations at UTK’s McClung Museum, titled, “Homelands: Connecting to Mounds through Native Art” (2025-2028).

  Lecture with Dr. Samuel Gregg

  9:05am

  at Carmichael Student Center, 181

  Dr. Samuel Gregg
  Political economist, author, and President at American Institute for Economic Research (AIER).

  As global markets face rising pressures from economic nationalist sentiments, Dr. Samuel Gregg, president of the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER), will speak about free trade as an essential requirement for America's future prosperity and liberty.

  In his address, Gregg will explore how free trade not only drives economic growth but also strengthens the United States' place in a dangerous world. Drawing upon history and economic theory, he will argue that an America that embraces free trade will be better positioned for dynamic economic growth and its capacity to prevail in its geopolitical contest with China.

  2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the publication of two texts that changed the world: The Declaration of Independence and Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations.

  In his address, Gregg will explore the relationship between these two texts. He will also examine Adam Smith's analysis of the economic forces driving the split between Britain and its colonies, and his suggestions about how to solve the crisis. He will argue that it is his economic analysis that makes Smith’s insights into the American crisis truly revolutionary.

  Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar

  2:30pm

  at Mathematics Building, D 107

  Speaker: Dr. Ryan Alvarado, Amherst College
  Title: “Geometric influences on fractional Sobolev spaces in the metric setting”
  Abstract: The study of (fractional) Sobolev spaces in  the Euclidean setting has long been central to analysis, particularly in the context of the theory of partial differential equations. In recent years, there have been significant developments in extending the theory of these function spaces beyond $\mathbb{R}^n$, to the setting of metric-measure spaces. When considered in this more general setting, these function spaces exhibit a rich and complex behavior that depends heavily on geometric and measure-theoretic properties of the underlying metric-measure space.

   

  In this talk, we will discuss the extension of the classical (fractional) Sobolev spaces to metric measure spaces, investigating how the underlying geometry affects their analytical nature. In particular, we will present new results pertaining to their (compact) embedding properties, illustrating the fundamental role that the metric-measure structure plays in shaping function space behavior. 

   

  The Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar is intended for Kennesaw State faculty working in the various areas of analysis and applied mathematics to get together to discuss their current work or related questions. Seminars often involve advanced mathematical knowledge. However, the seminars are open to anyone interested in attending.

  Civility and Pluralism in Practice: Faculty Dialogue and Shared Strategies for the Classroom

  1:30pm

   

  CETL is pleased to host this session where guest facilitator Dr. Sherrill Hayes, AVP, will invite faculty to reflect on their own experiences teaching in pluralistic classrooms—spaces where students bring varied perspectives, life experiences, and ways of engaging with course material. Through structured small-group conversations, participants will share successes, challenges, and questions about navigating pluralism and fostering civil engagement in their teaching practice. Facilitators will revisit Interfaith America’s Respect–Relate–Cooperate framework, principles of constructive conflict engagement, and strategies from Difficult Conversations as touchpoints for faculty dialogue. This workshop emphasizes peer learning and shared problem-solving, helping faculty deepen their ability to support meaningful, civil dialogue across differences while maintaining academic rigor.
