Title: Stories from a single worm: searching for novel symbioses in marine nematodesSpeaker: Dr. Holly Bik, University of GeorgiaAbstract: In marine ecosystems, bacterial symbionts are known to influence the development and environmental adaptation of host organisms. However, our knowledge of symbiosis in microbial metazoan taxa (animal species <1mm such as nematodes, tardigrades, kinorhynchs, etc.) remains poor due to the small size of these taxa and labor-intensive labwork required for such studies. Nematode worms represent an ideal case study for exploring patterns of symbiosis in microbial metazoa. In benthic ecosystems worldwide, marine nematodes occur in high abundance and exhibit high species richness, and scattered observational reports of novel symbioses have been reported from nematodes in recent years. In this talk, I will discuss my lab’s recent work to broadly characterize marine nematode holobionts, using single-worm genome skimming and reconstruction of bacterial Metagenome-Assembled Genomes (MAGs). This discovery-based work has also leveraged high-throughput culturing approaches adapted from studies of pelagic bacteria, whereby host-associated isolate cultures can be used to develop new experimental approaches for studying novel marine symbioses.

URI Department of Art and Art History presentsREVELATIONS! Education: Behind The Curtain – In Words and Images Exhibition September 15- December 11Join us for a reception and art conversations on September 17 4:30-7 in Lippitt Hall 401What is it like being in the classroom? What challenges do educator’s face? What restrictions are there preventing education from occurring? Are the requirements, expectations and limitations changing the way Educators function? What are the successes - giving students the opportunity to find their expressive voice?This exhibit will include the artwork and voices of a group of area educators from public, private and independent educational settings on all levels. The artist/educators will share their creative voices in various forms of expression as they also reflect on the challenges and celebrations they experience in and out of the classroom.Among the more than twenty artists are: Mary Jane Andreozzi, Deanna Camputaro, Ruth Clegg, Raff Diaz, Raphael Diaz, Tamara Diaz, Melanie Ducharme, Adam Ferbert, Susan Garland, Melissa Guillet, Catherine Davis-Hayes, Chris Kelley, Susan Kolenda, Jason Robert LaClair, Don Mays, Kerry Murphy, Sam Peck, Lisa Marie Ricci-Russo, Monique Rolle-Johnson, Jade Sisti, Janice Lee Strain, John Tedeschi, Katie Walck.On exhibit in URI Lippitt Hall (3rd & 4th floor), Green Hall and The Higgins Welcome CenterOpen To Monday – Friday 7:30-4:30, closed weekends and holidaysFor information: (401)286-4620/ spennell@uri.eduVisit URInvolved for complete event details.
