DESCRIPTION:Raising a Resilient Scientist Watch Party & Discussion \nThe UW Allies group is hosting Raising a Resilient Scientist Watch Party and Discussion beginning later this month. \nThis is a 5-part lecture series offered by the NIH Office of Intramural Training and Education (OITE) that is designed to support faculty and administrators in developing skills that promote the mental health and well-being of the academic research community. \nThe group will meet to watch each webinar session\, which will be followed by a moderated discussion. Each session will be from 9:00-10:20 am\, in the UW Health Sciences Building\, room G-328. Coffee and cookies will be provided. Session dates are as follows: \n\nSession 1 (Sept 30\, 2025): Communication Skills to Build Trainee Resilience.\nSession 2 (Oct 7\, 2025): Promoting Trainee Resilience\nSession 3 (Oct 14\, 2025): Building a Welcoming and Collegial Research Group\nSession 4 (Oct 21\, 2025): Difficult Conversations\, Conflict\, and Feedback\nSession 5 (Oct 28\, 2025): The Mental Health and Well-being of your trainees.

SUMMARY:KEMi Special Seminar
DESCRIPTION:The Kren Engineering-based Medicine Initiative (KEMi) is excited to announce our first seminar on Tuesday\, October 28th at 12:00 p.m. in the Foege South Auditorium. This event will be presented by a delegation from the University of Nottingham\, featuring Professor Richard Bowtell\, PhD\, Professor of Physics and Director of the Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre at the University of Nottingham. A reception will follow in the Vista Cafe. \nRSVP Today >>> \nThis event is hosted by the UW College of Engineering and the UW School of Medicine. \nLecture: Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Past\, Present and Future\nMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was co-invented by Sir Peter Mansfield in the University of Nottingham’s Department of Physics in 1973. Researchers from Nottingham University have continued to develop and apply improved techniques and hardware for MRI since the early days of its inception. Sir Peter (along with Paul Lauterbur) was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology in 2003. \nToday there is a broad ranging\, impactful research programme in MRI in Nottingham which spans physics\, engineering\, medicine\, psychology\, computer science\, mathematics and life sciences and is centred on the Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre (SPMIC).  The cross-faculty SPMIC operates a 7T scanner\, two 3T scanners\, and an 0.5 T upright system\, as well hyperpolarisation equipment and OPM MEG facilities. We are currently developing an 11.7T human scanner which will form a national facility for the UK\, creating new opportunities for studying the anatomy and function of the brain and body. \nThis presentation will describe some of the history of the development of MRI in Nottingham\, present highlights of our current research and outline plans for the future advancement of MRI and potential opportunities for collaboration with UW. \nAbout the speaker\nRichard Bowtell\, PhD \n\n\n\n\nProfessor of Physics\nDirector\, Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre\nUniversity of Nottingham \nRichard Bowtell is Professor of Physics and Director of the Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre at the University of Nottingham. After taking a degree in Natural Sciences in Cambridge\, he joined Nottingham University in 1984 as a PhD student working under the supervision of Sir Peter Mansfield. He has been a faculty member of Nottingham’s School of Physics and Astronomy since 1989 and served as Head of School from 2008 to 2014. His research is focused on the development and application of new techniques and hardware for biomedical imaging. He is a Fellow of the ISMRM and of the UK’s Institute of Physics (IOP)\, a Deputy Editor of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and past-President of the European Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and Biology. He was awarded the IOP’s James Joule Medal and Prize in 2020.

SUMMARY:Science in Medicine Lecture Series: Jarrad Scarlett\, MD\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:“Role of Brain Fibroblast Growth Factor Signaling in the Regulation of Energy Homeostasis”\nFriday\, October 31\n12:00 pm – 1:00 pm\nSLU Orin Smith Auditorium & Zoom Webinar \nAbstract \nObesity and type 2 diabetes are growing health epidemics that constitute a costly health care burden and increase the risk of several other life-threatening conditions (e.g.\, cardiovascular disease\, chronic renal failure\, blindness\, and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis). In this context\, the efficacy of so called ‘incretin-mimetic’ drugs\, which rely on actions in the CNS to mediate therapeutic benefit\, is unquestionably impressive. As these effects result from durable\, supraphysiological agonism of GLP-1 receptors (and receptors for other incretin peptides) throughout the body\, however\, the underlying mechanism can be viewed as relatively non-specific in the sense that 1) the specific neuronal targets are largely unknown\, and hence 2) the potential for side effects is significant. Combined with evidence that lost weight and elevated hemoglobin A1C are rapidly recovered should the drugs be discontinued\, the need for a more specific\, mechanistic understanding of the neurocircuitry involved in metabolic homeostasis is apparent – particularly\, if it can inform more efficacious\, durable\, and specific treatment strategies. This presentation will highlight ongoing studies investigating the physiological\, cellular\, and molecular roles of signaling by members of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family in the brain and evidence that these compounds may serve as candidates for the development of new and novel therapeutics to treat obesity and type 2 diabetes. \nBiography \nJarrad Scarlett is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the University of Washington and a Principal Investigator at the UW Medicine Diabetes Institute. He also serves as an Associate Program Director and Director of the Research Track for the pediatric residency program at UW and Seattle Children’s Hospital. Dr. Scarlett’s research program focuses on the role of integrated gut-brain signaling in the control of energy balance and glucose metabolism and characterizing how defects in these systems contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetes and obesity. To address this question\, his laboratory combines metabolic phenotyping with advanced neuroscience techniques including both chemo- and opto-genetic studies and fiber photometry study the specific central neurocircuits\, gut-brain signaling pathways\, and peripheral effector mechanisms that are impacted by diabetes and obesity and identify therapeutic agents that can specifically target these defects.
