SBME Research Seminar: The RNA folding problem remains open – Dr. Rhiju Das
The discovery and design of biologically important RNA molecules has lagged behind proteins, in part due to the general difficulty of three-dimensional RNA structural characterization. What are the prospects for an ‘AlphaFold moment’ for RNA? I’ll describe some recent progress in modeling RNA structure from old-fashioned and new machine learning, cryoelectron microscopy, and current and upcoming internet-scale competitions hosted on the Eterna, Kaggle, and CASP platforms.

Inclusive Teaching: What is it and why does it matter?
August 25, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm PDT
This Centre for Teaching, Learning, and Technology session is for anyone who teaches at UBC who is looking for an introduction to inclusive teaching practices. Be introduced to the literature underpinning inclusive teaching and discuss why inclusive practices in the classroom are important, including considerations for the online environment. This session will explore diversity at UBC, including who lives and studies here. You will have an opportunity to learn, discuss, and share inclusive teaching practices. You will leave the workshop with a range of practices and resources to continue exploring.
In this workshop, you will:
-
- Define diversity, equity and inclusion in UBC’s context.
-
- Be introduced to the literature underpinning inclusive teaching and why it’s important.
-
- Explore diversity at UBC and who works and studies here
-
- Have an opportunity to reciprocally learn, discuss and share inclusive teaching practices, including considerations for the online environment.
