“Parasitic Helminths and Gut-microbiome Interaction: two long-standing companions”, presented by Bineyam Taye, associate professor of biology, director, global public &environmental health program.Helminths, parasitic worms that reside in the gastrointestinal tract, have co-evolved with their hosts over millennia, modulating immune responses and influencing gut microbial communities. In this talk, I will discuss our research on how soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections alter the gut microbiome profile of Ethiopian schoolchildren. Additionally, I will discuss the effects of anthelmintic treatments on gut microbial composition. Understanding the interactions among helminth infections, anthelmintic therapies, and the gut microbiome could provide valuable insights into the broader implications of helminth control programs and help develop more integrated strategies for public health interventions.Co-sponsored by CORE SP

Voyage beyond the planet and experience our home through the eyes of Astronauts. Orbital is an epic journey from the Big Bang, to the flourishing of life on Earth, to low Earth orbit. A new film by Guy Reid and Planetary Collective, Orbital transports you through an abstract landscape of light, inspired by bioluminescent earthly beings and atmospheric aurorae. Guided by the voices of the astronauts and cosmonauts of Constellation Coalition who have looked back and experienced the awe of our place in the universe, you will feel your own “Overview Effect” as you meditate on our planet in Shared Reality.

This exhibition, curated by 10 students in the Fall 2024 semester of MUSE 300: Museum Curating, features the themes of textiles and weaving. Showcasing works from the Longyear Museum of Anthropology’s basket and world textile collections, this exhibition explores the incredible amount of labor and skill that goes into creating woven art. The exhibition takes a comparative view of textiles from around the world, introducing the community significance of different designs and individual stylistic choices. The exhibition discusses how fiber art forms have changed as local and global markets develop, as well as the role that clothing can play in displays of nationalism and politics. Ultimately, Unraveled aims to inspire viewers to consider the benefits of hand-crafted works and foster an appreciation for the people behind the woven things we use and love each and every day.The exhibition features several new acquisitions, including three new works acquired from the Jalabil Maya women’s weaving collective during their artist residency last fall. It also features pieces on loan from our student curators, highlighting the significance of weaving and textile arts in their lives.Student Curators:Leila Bekaert ‘25 Oscar Brown ‘26 Kegan Foley ‘26 Emma Herwig ‘25 Bri Liddell ‘25 Gloria Liu ‘26 Meg McClenahan ‘25 Anna Miksis ‘25 Blanca Rivas ‘25 Aleksia Taci ‘25 Professor/Curator: Rebecca Mendelsohn
