How do we manage interdisciplinarity in our own work? In this workshop\, we will explore the synergies and discomforts of interdisicplinarity across the natural and social sciences. We will hear from two accomplished interdisciplinarians (an evolutionary biologist and an anthropologist) and collectively explore strategies to help our trainees navigate this landscape. Don’t miss this first session that will set the stage for our series! \nFacilitators\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n\n \n Dr. Rob Dunn is a William Neal Reynolds Distinguished Professor of Applied Ecology\, Director of The Public Science lab\, and author of several books\, including most recently\, Never Home Alone: From Microbes to Millipedes\, Camel Crickets\, and Honeybees\, the Natural History of Where We Live. email | profile \n \n Dr. Jean Goodwin is the SAS Institute Distinguished Professor of Rhetoric & Technical Communication and Director of the Leadership in Public Science cluster. email | profile \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nThis monthly workshop series is designed to train MBTP faculty to better mentor students at the intersection of biotechnology and society\, in cooperation with the Genetic Engineering and Society Center and the Genetics and Genomics Initiative.

Kuzma’s research interests involve the integration of social\, policy\, and natural sciences for emerging technologies governance\, including biotechnology and nanotechnology. She has published over 150 articles and book chapters\, and in 2019 she was elected a lifetime Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) for distinguished translational work in advancing anticipatory governance of new technologies and contributions to methods for oversight policy analysis. (See full bio and profile) \nDr. Fred Gould is a Distinguished University Professor of Entomology and co-founder and co-director of the GES Center at NC State University. He studies the ecology and genetics of pests to improve food production and human and environmental health. Dr. Gould conducts research on the application of evolutionary biology and population genetics to enable sustainable use of insect resistant crops and genetically engineered agricultural pests. He also does research aimed at development of strategies for using engineered insect vectors of pathogens to decrease human disease. In 2011\, he was elected to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (NAS). Dr. Gould has served on several NASEM–National Research Council (NRC) committees studying the environmental and health effects of the commercialization of genetically engineered crops. He chaired the NASEM–NRC committee on “Genetically Engineered Crops: Experiences and Prospects”. He served on the NRC’s Board on Agriculture and Natural Resources until 2020. He is a fellow of the Entomological Society of America and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Dr. Gould received his BS in biology from Queens College and a PhD in ecology and evolutionary biology from the State University of New York at Stony Brook.

I will present and discuss our development of a new type of self-powering greenhouse that uses semi-transparent organic photovoltaics to control radiation and produce energy. How far can we drive this technology? Which crops can be grown and how can biotechnology further facilitate economic viability of these solar greenhouses? \nRelated links:\n\nNext Generation of Greenhouses May Be Fully Solar Powered\,  NC State News\, 2/7/2020\nStudy Finds Plants Would Grow Well in Solar Cell Greenhouses\, NC State News\, 3/17/2021\nAchieving Net Zero Energy Greenhouses by Integrating Semitransparent Organic Solar Cells (PDF)\nRavishankar\, E.

Cell Reports Physical Science\, 2021 doi: 10.1016/j.xcrp.2021.100381\n\nSpeaker Bio\nBorn and schooled in Northern Germany\, Dr. Heike Sederoff completed an apprenticeship in book production and trade\, but then went on to study chemistry at the University of Goettingen where she received a PhD in plant biochemistry. She was awarded a Feodor-Lynen Fellowship from the Humboldt Foundation in Germany to study the interaction of bacteria and plants to form nodules for atmospheric nitrogen assimilation at Flinders University in Adelaide and at the University of Western Australia in Perth. Dr. Sederoff was a faculty member in at the University of Osnabrueck\, back in Germany and later here at NC State. Her interests in science are very broad and she especially likes to collaborate across disciplines in natural sciences\, engineering\, and medicine. This has resulted in a number of licensed patents and experience as expert consultant in patent disputes. The research topics in her team span from questions how plants sense and respond to environmental stress to the use of synthetic biology to improve sustainability of crop production – on Earth and in extraterrestrial settings. \n\nGES Colloquium is jointly taught by Drs.
