SUMMARY:OSU Science Sunday!
DESCRIPTION:“The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend: How Viruses are Being Used to Fight Superbugs”\n\n\n\n  \nSteffanie Strathdee\nAssociate Dean of Global Health Sciences and Harold Simon Distinguished Professor of Medicine at the University of California San Diego \nAntimicrobial resistance is one of the most pressing global health issues of the 21st century and is worsening with the COVID-19 pandemic. With existing antibiotics losing potency and limited classes of antibiotics in the pipeline\, alternatives are needed to battle multi-drug resistant bacterial infections (‘superbugs’). Through the lens of her family’s personal experience with a deadly superbug infection\, Dr. Strathdee’s presentation will discuss the medical history of viruses that attack bacteria (bacteriophage\, or phage) and how they have been used to treat superbug infections for over 100 years. This presentation will discuss the reasons why bacteriophage therapy fell out of favor in the West\, drawing from research conducted by medical historian Dr. William Summer. It will also cover recent advances in phage therapy that led to the founding of the first dedicated phage therapy institute in North America (IPATH)\, and the role of her family’s case in the process. \nSteffanie Strathdee is an infectious disease epidemiologist who is Associate Dean of Global Health Sciences and Harold Simon Distinguished Professor of Medicine at the University of California San Diego where she now codirects the Center for Innovative Phage Applications and Therapeutics (IPATH).  In 2016\, Strathdee and colleagues were credited with saving her husband’s life from a deadly superbug infection using bacteriophages – viruses that attack bacteria. The case\, which involved cooperation from three universities\, the U.S. Navy and researchers across the globe\, shows how phage therapy has potential to treat multi-drug resistant bacterial infections which are expected to kill 10 million people per year by 2050. Strathdee and her husband co-authored their memoir called The Perfect Predator: A Scientist’s Race to Save Her Husband from a Deadly Superbug. For her efforts to revitalize phage therapy in the West\, she was named one of TIME magazine’s Most Influential People in Health Care in 2018.

SUMMARY:OSU Science Sunday!
DESCRIPTION:“Lights\, Camera\, Science: Data Visualization with a Hollywood Twist”\n\n\n\nHave you ever found yourself captivated by a video that takes you on a flight through the stars\, or watched in awe as DNA gracefully folded within the human body? From YouTube journeys to documentary films and museum exhibits\, these visual experiences transport us to realms that elude our direct senses – too distant\, too minuscule\, or hidden within other structures. The question arises: How do we access these invisible wonders? The answer lies in the combination of data visualization with Hollywood filmmaking techniques. This talk will unveil the magic of cinematic scientific visualization\, where the invisible intricacies of the universe come to life before our eyes. \nKalina Borkiewicz has been creating cinematic scientific visualizations since she started working in the Advanced Visualization Lab (AVL) at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2014. She started her visualization career as a programmer\, and worked her way up to Director of the AVL\, where she worked until early 2024. In her time in the AVL\, Kalina contributed visualizations to numerous documentary films\, ranging from fulldome to IMAX formats. Currently\, Kalina is a PhD student at the University of Utah\, studying computer graphics and data visualization. Kalina also volunteers with the ACM SIGGRAPH conference\, where in 2023 she served as Director of the Academy Award-qualifying Computer Animation Festival Electronic Theater.
