The geological history of a city, starting at the surface with modern buildings constructed from local materials and going down six football field lengths to bedrock, and back six hundred million years in time, comes alive in this illustrated video. Geologist Norman Lasca also demonstrates the tools and methods by which a geologist gathers data and identifies the layers of deposits in an area, and how this information is used to produce 2- and 3-dimensional models of the geological make-up of the area.. ...
Biologist Julie Oliver explains the inner workings of our heart and circulatory system in "Matters of the Heart: Cell and Cardiovascular Disease." With audience participation, Oliver will unravel how blood cells called platelets function at the site of an injury to form a plug. Theres good and bad news about our bodys ability to stop bleeding. While this rapid response is critical to wound healing, its regulation can be disrupted, causing a cascade of events that can lead to heart attacks and strokes. As she leads a tour into our veins, discover the whats inside that activates the platelets - and what inhibits them. She also investigates how drugs like aspirin inhibit platelets clotting function. A demonstration reveals why platelets in mammals (thats us!) respond particularly well to a daily, low-dose aspirin treatment for cardiovascular disease.. ...

There are currently two major research projects in our lab. The first focuses on spatial organization of proteins within a bacterial cell. We focus our studies on the chemotaxis systems within Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and seek to elucidate how protein localization is correlated to function. In this project, we are investigating the connection between polar localization and function of the Chp chemosensory system. In addition, we are also investigating the mechanism of partitioning chemotaxis proteins that regulate flagellar based motility.. The second project focuses on the role of pyomelanin in Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence. Pyomelanin is an extracellular pigment produced by some clinical isolates. Pyomelanin protects P. aeruginosa from the immune response, by providing protection from oxidative stress. Inhibition of pyomelanin production results in increased sensitivity to oxidative stress, and results in increased bacterial death. We hope to develop an anti‑virulence agent that can be ...
John Berges, professor of biological sciences and freshwater sciences, recently published a paper that included many past undergraduate researchers as co-authors. Co-author contributions began all the way back in 2005.. The UWM Report featured Berges and his former students to highlight how undergraduate research began many science related careers for the alum. Many of the past researchers credit their undergraduate experience for preparing them for professional careers within science. Read the article here.. For more information on research as an undergraduate student at UWM, contact the Office of Undergraduate Research.. ...

Professor Emeritus Linda Whittingham and Distinguished Professor Peter Dunn of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee have been awarded the 2019 Elliott Coues Award from the American Ornithological Society (AOS). This is one of the highest awards in ornithology, recognizing outstanding and innovative contributions to the study of birds. The award has been presented to 47 ornithologists from around the world since 1972, and it includes a Nobel prize winner, Fellows of the Royal Society and the AAAS. The award is named in honor of Elliott Coues, a pioneering ornithologist and founding member of the society in 1883. The Coues Achievement Award consists of a medal and an honorarium that will be presented to Whittingham and Dunn in June at the annual meeting of the AOS in Anchorage, Alaska.. Congratulations to Peter and Linda on this amazing award!. ...

This months L&S In Focus Newsletter featured some notable people from the Department of Biological Sciences!. The newsletter notes that Dr. Filipe Alberto is the recipient of one of the largest grants at UWM ($2.8 million over 3 years) for his research on the genetics of breeding giant kelp to be farmed for bioenergy. Read more about Dr. Albertos research on pages 10-11 of In Focus.. Bio Sci undergraduate, Shannon Dugan, was mentioned in page 15 for her outstanding volunteer work, which was also featured in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Shannon has volunteered in soup kitchens, visited with dementia patients, and has worked with a doctor in Guatemala to triage patients in a health care clinic.. Great work everyone!. ...
