From Nov. 18-20, a three-day conference is taking place at Signal Hill Memorial Campus and Johnson Geo Centre in St. John’s entitled Building Climate Resilience: Infrastructure Design and Planning with Uncertainty. The event is intended for infrastructure professionals, including engineers, planners, as well as municipal staff and policy practitioners who are working in the area of public infrastructure. Building upon the Building Climate Resilience Conferences in March 2018 and April 2019, this conference features three key workshops over three days:
- Flood Risk Mapping (November 18, 2019) – This workshop will highlight the evolution of flood risk mapping and areas for improvement for flood risk map forecasting and emergency planning.
- Infrastructure Design and Planning with Uncertainty (November 19, 2019) – This interactive session will address sources of uncertainty and issues they present and different approaches for dealing with these uncertainties.
- Coastal Erosion (November 20, 2019) – This workshop will highlight coastal erosion, focusing on the impacts of climate change, rising sea levels, and how we can improve data dissemination.
To find out more about the workshop and to register please email main@pegnl.ca or call 709-753-7714, ext. 0. Please feel free to share this email (and the conference poster attached) with anyone who may be interested in attending.

In cellular microenvironments such as the bone marrow (where B cell development occurs), cells can communicate with proximal and/or distal cells via secretion of extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs are membrane-encapsulated nanosized particles that carry bioactive cargo such as proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. Recent research in the Christian Lab showed that engagement of the glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored surface receptor CD24 on immature murine B lymphoma cell line WEHI 231 induced the release of CD24-bearing EVs (CD24-EV). However, the role of EVs including CD24-EV in B cell development and function is unknown. We hypothesize that EVs facilitate the exchange of information between cells in the bone marrow, thereby regulating B cell development and function. To help us understand the mechanism and function of EV release and uptake in B cells, we have tracked EV release and uptake between fluorescently labelled WEHI cells (WEHI 231-GFP and WEHI 303-Tomato), using multi-color flow cytometry. Our data shows that stimulation of CD24 on donor cells followed by incubation with recipient cells induces CD24-EV transfer, based on analysis of both lipid and protein to recipient cells. We determined that protein transferred by CD24-EV is functional in the recipient cells. Furthermore, we determined that other surface receptors can induce EV release and functional protein transfer. In our future work, we will identify the types of receptors necessary for EV uptake, and the stage of B cell development when EV uptake can occur. Consequently, our research will broaden the understanding of EV based cell-cell communication, and its role in normal B cell development.

The Elizabeth R. Laird Public Lecture with Dr. Alan Aspuru-Guzik, Departments of Chemistry and Computer Science, University of Toronto.
Dr. Aspuru-Guzik argues one must go beyond simple computational screening approaches, followed by traditional experimentation for materials discovery,
He’s been working on the design and implementation of ‘materials acceleration platforms’ or MAPs. These MAPs are enabled by a confluence of three disparate fields – artificial intelligence (AI), high-throughput quantum chemistry and robotics. The integration of prediction, synthesis and characterization in an AI-driven closed-loop approach promises the acceleration of materials discovery by a factor of 10, or even 100.
Dr. Aspuru-Guzik will describe his efforts around this topic under the Mission Innovation umbrella platform.
Admission is free and all are welcome. Limited free parking is available in Lot 17. A reception will follow.

Ghost Artist (Canada 2019) 66 min.
Directed by Steven Palmer and Edward Riche.
NL premiere. Q&A to follow the screening.
This has local talent splashed all over it. We are proud to be showcasing this original, feature documentary by some of our best award-winning artists. A maverick artist is rediscovered in Paris when his taboo-busting 1967 film resurfaces in the art world. Robert Cordier’s movie about medicine and the body made 20,000 people faint at the Montreal world’s fair. Ghost Artist unmasks it as an avant-garde work for the masses, inspired by collaborations with legendary artists like James Baldwin, Andy Warhol, Allen Ginsberg, Jean Genet and Salvador Dalí. Ghost Artist is in the same documentary family as Searching for Sugarman and Finding Vivien Maier. This is a real treat for all of us and so please come out to see and hear what the filmmakers have to say. They’ll be around for a short Q&A after the film.

She finds inspiration in geological reports and geologist’s field journals viewing them as travel guides which lead her to structures that become the subjects for her paintings.
An accomplished painter, Joanne revisits locations described and sketched in these early works and produces beautifully detailed modern renderings of these sites. Through this exercise, she draws connections between past and present, and between art and science. Joanne’s work reminds us of why we value our province’s natural heritage, and offers insight into one of the ways in which we can find meaning by connecting with the land.
About the speaker: Joanne lives in St. John’s and works full-time at the Map Room and Archives and Special Collections Division of the Queen Elizabeth II Library. She is also coordinator of the First Space gallery at the QEII.

Dr. Yolande Pottie-Sherman will present this Blue Box Seminar. Human migration is a central dimension of urban change. This Blue Box talk examines this relationship from the perspective of cities in the “Rust Belt,” the former manufacturing heartland of the U.S. Increasingly, both immigrants and refugees are part of the comeback stories of Northeastern and Midwestern cities, from Buffalo to Dayton to Pittsburgh. My talk highlights the limitations of the singular spatial imaginary of the Rust Belt as a region associated with loss of industry, population, and status. Rather, I illustrate the rich, complex, and tangled contemporary spatial nuances associated with international migration in this region. These spatial nuances are complicated by increasingly exclusionary immigration policy and rhetoric at the federal level since January of 2017.

On behalf of Navigate, we would like to invite you to participate in an upcoming startup event in honour of the life and legacy of our dear friend and colleague, Dr. Jose Lam. The first annual Dr. Jose Lam Startup Weekend event will take place at Grenfell Campus from Friday, Nov. 22, to Sunday, Nov. 24.
Startup weekend is an event that addresses one of the hardest parts of starting a new business: starting! In two and a half days, you will work as part of a team to experience the thrills and pains of starting a real company, and meet fantastic mentors, coaches, and investors who will guide you through the startup process. This event will pay tribute to startup weekend’s biggest fan and local champion, the late Dr. Jose Lam.
This two-and-a-half-day event will start with an initial Meet and Pitch on Friday evening followed by a Work and Learn day on Saturday and a final Pitch Competition on Sunday. The event is open to students and members of the community who are interested in entrepreneurship and in learning more about starting a business.
The event will flow as follows:
Day 1: Meet and Pitch
- Have dinner and meet other interested entrepreneurs
- Pitch an idea to the group to have it included in the vote for which projects will be selected and worked on over the weekend
- Participants vote on the projects they would like to work on
- Build a dream team by partnering up with those that want to work on the same idea as you do!
Day 2: Work and Learn!
- Work with your group to further develop your idea, find out what your customers want, build a prototype, or create a brand. We will provide you with some of the things you’ll need to make this happen.
- Receive help from experienced mentors to help solve some of the tougher challenges that you will inevitably meet.
Day 3: Present
- Build a compelling pitch with the help of assigned coaches. You will have 5 minutes to present your business to a panel of judges, and to the rest of the group.
- Watch the presenting teams, have fun, and celebrate the work that you’ve done.
Sign up now for what promises to be an exciting weekend!
