Understanding human variation is a key goal of neuroscience, yet most computational accounts are restricted to describing normative behavior as opposed to individuals. I will describe my group's work developing person-specific models for precision neuroscience and brain stimulation.

Illinois' Georgia Malandraki and Brad Sutton will present, "Multimodal Approaches to Understanding Swallowing Control and Developing Plasticity Based Interventions for Dysphagia" at this installment of the Neuromusculoskeletal Seminar Series.

This seminar will focus on present multimodal research using MRI/fMRI, surface EMG, and videofluoroscopy to elucidate neural-muscular mechanisms of swallowing. Early findings from two NIH-funded studies will be highlighted, demonstrating how integrated physiologic and neuroimaging data can guide development of innovative, plasticity-based interventions for dysphagia in individuals with neurogenic disorders.

Director of SNA services, Roy J. Carver Biotechnology Center.

Leading the next-generation sequencing division serving academic, federal, and corporate partners. I received my PhD from the University of Illinois in March 2001 and joined the CBC a week later as a postdoctoral student. I became Assistant Director in 2005 and Director in 2008. My focus is on facility management, user support, and development of strategic partnerships. The DNA Services lab provides state-of-the-art equipment and expertise to users around the world.  

One critical component that makes research impactful is the effective presentation of data. In this workshop, you will learn some effective strategies for clear and effective data presentation in the context of journal articles, research posters, and PowerPoint presentations. By the end of this workshop, you will learn conventions for writing with figures, methods for analyzing your figure and table design, and how to apply these lessons to a variety of contexts.

This presentation will be held via Zoom and is open to all current U of I affiliates (students, faculty, and staff). You will need to be logged into your Illinois Zoom account to join. 

Please register with your Illinois email by March 8 to receive the Zoom details on the morning of the event. If you register on the day of, please email wow@illinois.edu immediately to request the Zoom details - we will do our best to get them to you prior to the event but cannot make any guarantees.

All registrants will receive access to the presentation materials via email the following business day.

During this workshop, we will discuss the fundamentals of proposal writing, guiding undergraduate students to formulate successful research projects and explain their research in a concise and compelling manner that is understandable to a general audience. Students will leave the workshop with (1) basic knowledge about research proposals and their structure, (2) tactics and tools to write successful research statements, and (3) a list of resources for assistance in the writing process. This workshop is a collaboration between the Office of Undergraduate Research and the Writers Workshop and will be most well-suited for undergraduates who are drafting proposals for the first time, hoping to improve their proposal writing skills, and/or applying for an OUR Research Support Grant.

This event will be held in the Illini Union Bookstore room 504. It is open to current University of Illinois affiliates (students, faculty, and staff). Please register using your Illinois email address by March 8, and Writers Workshop will send a reminder on the morning of the event. This event will also be held on March 5.

All registrants will receive the presentation materials the following business day. This will not include a recording.

Join the next Resources for Researchers Office Hours where we will where we'll dive into qualitative Data Analysis. Explore the world of qualitative research and learn about the tools and support available to you on campus. This session will introduce approaches to qualitative data analysis and highlight campus-supported software and services. Jess Hagman from the University Library and Dawn Owens from the CITL data analytics team will host the session, covering resources such as MAXQDA, ATLAS.ti, and additional tools and consultations available to support qualitative research across disciplines. Whether you are new to qualitative methods or looking to expand your analytical toolkit, this session offers practical insights, guidance, and opportunities to connect with campus experts. Don't miss this opportunity to connect, ask questions, and explore valuable campus resources!

The Resources for Researchers - Monthly Office Hours series is intended to foster a collaborative and supportive space for Illinois researchers. Connect with the tools, expertise, and guidance needed to elevate your work—from research computing and compliance to data and beyond. Each month we'll highlight a different resource on campus that can be used to support and enhance your work as a researcher.

The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center is pleased to announce a one day, Shared Memory Programming Using OpenMP workshop. This workshop is intended to give C and Fortran programmers a hands-on introduction to OpenMP programming. Attendees will leave with a working knowledge of how to write scalable codes using OpenMP. This event will be presented using the Wide Area Classroom (WAC) training platform. This will be an IN PERSON event hosted by various satellite sites, there WILL NOT be a direct to desktop option for this event.

Dr. Elizabeth Sutton, Director of Spurlock Museum of World Cultures, will discuss her background as an anthropologist and her work as the director of the Spurlock Museum.
