Biological Engineering Dept. Seminar Series

Conference/Seminar

Biological Engineering is pleased to welcome from Quansys Biosciences - Mr. Adam Brown, CEO; Dr. Brett Baumgartner, R&D; and Mr. Chris Lyman.

Presenting: "Seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 studied using a Novel Multiplex ELISA Platform"

A novel multiplex platform for enzyme linked immunoassay (ELISA) has been used to study seroprevalence of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in community populations. The assay detects antibodies to Spike 1, Spike 2, and Nucleocapsid epitopes on the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The relative levels of these antibodies, accompanied by a questionnaire, can indicate status of vaccination or prior infection. This platform is being used by University of Minnesota, Minnesota Health Department, and the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at University of Chicago to examine seroprevalence of antibodies to COVID-19 in Minnesota.

A meet and greet will be immediately following in ENGR 101.

2021 Leonard J. Arrington Mormon History Lecture Series

Lecture/Readings

Dr. Laurie Maffly-Kipp will present “A Marvelous Work: Reading Mormonism in West Africa” as part of the USU University Libraries’ Leonard J. Arrington Mormon History Lecture series. Maffly-Kipp’s lecture will discuss how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints pamphlets, books and other church materials circulated in West Africa two decades before offical missionary work began, leading to a unique “native” Mormonism. Believers crafted churches from these bare materials and doctrinal interpretations during the 1960s and 1970s.

The lecture will be held at the Newel & Jean Daines Concert Hall at 7 p.m. and will also be broadcasted live at youtube.com/USULibraries. It is free and open to the public.

Arrington Mormon History Lecture Presented by Laurie Maffly-Kipp

Lecture/Readings

“’A Marvelous Work’: Reading Mormonism in West Africa”

Two decades before the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints began official missionary work in West Africa, pamphlets, books, and other church materials had been circulating among Christians in Nigeria and Ghana. Brought by seekers who had studied abroad or encountered church members from other countries, those texts formed the basis for a Mormon community outside the bounds of U.S. institutional authority or oversight. What did this “native” Mormonism look like, and how did believers craft churches out of the bare materials of tracts and inspirational volumes? This talk explores the circulation and interpretation of this homegrown Mormon faith in the 1960s and 1970s, and concludes with the dilemmas raised by this religious self-fashioning for LDS Church establishment after 1978.

Mindfulness Meditation | Sitting in breath and presence

Recreation

FREE REGISTRATION: https://bit.ly/mindfulnessandmeditationweekly

Mindfulness is a type of meditation in which you focus on being intensely aware of what you're sensing and feeling in the moment, without interpretation or judgment. Practicing mindfulness involves breathing methods, guided imagery, and other practices to relax the body and mind and help reduce stress. Mindfulness meditation has been proven to support various health conditions - stress, anxiety, pain, depression, insomnia, high blood pressure, fibromyalgia, and more - and help you experience thoughts and emotions with greater balance and acceptance, improve attentiveness, and relieve burnout.

Practicing self care through mindfulness and meditation can help you relax and focus on what is most important - your overall wellness. This is a weekly, online wellness series hosted by the Utah State University Office of Health Equity and Community Engagement and Tribal & Rural Opioid Initiative Resource Center.

How Women Rise: Break the 12 Habits Holding You Back from Your Next Raise, Promotion, or Job

Panel Discussion/Presentation

Women’s distinctive strengths and behaviors provide them with many advantages. Yet the very habits that help them early in their careers can hold them back as they seek to rise. In this virtual seminar, Sally Helgesen draws on her work with legendary executive coach Marshall Goldsmith to help women identify and address the habits most likely to get in their way as they seek to move to a higher level. Using vivid real-life examples that resonate and inspire, Sally helps participants:

- Identify how specific habits may hinder them as they move to a higher level.
- Initiate simple behavioral changes that can smooth their path going forward.
- Hold themselves accountable for changes that can benefit them and their organizations.
- Become a more powerful resource for other women seeking to rise.

Participants will come away from this forum with an enhanced understanding of their individual strengths, an actionable template for identifying and addressing challenges going forward, a proven means for enlisting support, and tools for enhancing their visibility and connections.

Registration required to attend.
