SACNAS Informational Session/Networking Event
Friday, September 30th, 2022
01:00 PM - 02:00 PM
Storrs Campus PRLACC Program Room, SU 438
A group of UConn students is interested in starting a Society for the Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) chapter here at UConn. We are hosting an informational networking SACNAS event at the end of the month on September 30th 1-2pm in the Puerto Rican Latin American Cultural Center (PRLACC) Program Room. At this event, we will explain the benefits of being a SACNAS member and some of the resources we hope to offer once we are up and running
We hope to create a community that fosters a safe space for Chicanos/hispanics and Native Americans, but is welcome to all. SACNAS hopes to increase representation of these minority groups and also increase access to professional development resources and career development opportunities. -

"A physical niche regulates assembly of a multispecies gut microbiota in Drosophila"
A complex microbial community inhabits the human gut and affects health. Using a less-complex model in Drosophila, we are working on mechanisms of how the host regulates gut microbiome colonization.
Dr. Ludington began his career in field ecology and invasive species eradications before getting into biophysics and cell biology. His lab studies gut colonization by symbiotic bacteria at scales ranging from molecules to populations of flies.
To learn more about Dr. Ludington's research, view his publication at https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.09.30.462663v1 and his website at https://emb.carnegiescience.edu/science/faculty/william-ludington
