Alexa Duchesneau will deliver the final talk in the Anthropology J-term Speaker Series. Optimal nutrition is important to the survival and reproduction of many species, especially those requiring: a) long periods of development and b) those living in unpredictable nutritional landscapes. The white-faced capuchins (Cebus capucinus) of Costa Rica, fulfill both of these criteria and are useful models for investigating the relationships between nutrition, life history and climate change.

“Sensory systems to self-driving cars: science at the intersection of mechanism, theory, and opportunity.”
“Bioinspiration” can be defined as the development of novel materials, devices, and strategies inspired by examples found in biological systems. In this presentation, Dr. Schweikert will tell stories about the little-known sensory capabilities of marine animals, how different senses permit survival in the marine world, and what we might stand to gain from their study.

An understanding of how neurogenesis is regulated may provide clues for devising new therapeutic treatments for diseases that involve neuronal loss and show greater prevalence in women, such as Alzheimer’s disease and depression.She developed the first rodent models for perinatal depression more than 20 years ago, and her research continues to reveal novel insight into the mechanisms by which pregnancy and motherhood impact risk for psychiatric disorders in the short term and the trajectory of cognitive ageing in the long term.
