Join the Department of History and Spencer Abbe from the University of Oregon for a talk on "Bears, Cattle, and Natural Disaster: The Colonial Dream Cycle on Kodiak, Alaska,1788-1964."
Tuesday, December 3rd at 3:30 pm in McKenzie 375. Free and open to the public.
Since the late 18th century, colonists from the Russian Empire and the United States have attempted to create agricultural settlements on the Kodiak Archipelago. Confronted by tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hungry bears, and a short growing season, these projects consistently floundered only to begin again shortly thereafter. This presentation examines the role of natural disasters in this unexpected resilience as long-term colonial projects confronted long-term geologic processes.
The Department of History Seminar Series runs throughout the academic year and features guest speakers from the top universities who share their perspectives on history. Visit history.uoregon.edu for more information about the seminar series.
5:00–8:00 p.m.

Advances in Abiotic Biosensors and Targeted Molecular Probes For the past three decades our group has addressed fundamental challenges in biomedical diagnostics. Applications have included the detection of cancer, cardiovascular disease and redox-related disorders. The general approach involves the development of design principles for transforming relatively simple pH dyes into inherently targeted, highly selective long wavelength and NIR-active agents that function without the need for conjugation to biomolecules. This has allowed us to develop abiotic chemical indicators to detect intriguing disease biomarkers such as specific sugars, amino acids and low-abundant phospholipids. In addition, molecular probes that target human pancreatic cancer tissue have been synthesized and evaluated.
