Investigating the Role of SIRT1 Substrates in Regulating Replication Origins in Cancer Cells
No full text21 p.Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is an NAD+ dependent protein deacetylase that acts as a metabolic sensor in normal and cancer cells. Previous findings from our lab show that SIRT1 binds to replication origins and prevents excessive origin activation; however, SIRT1’s substrates on replicating origins and their function in regulating origin activity are not yet fully understood. Our studies focus on identifying protein targets for SIRT1 on replicating DNA using a novel technique based on the isolation of proteins on nascent DNA (iPOND) . We perform iPOND on SIRT1 proficient and deficient HCT116 cells (colon cancer patient) during normal proliferation and after treatment with aphidicolin (a known inducer of excessive replication). Under these conditions, we expect that SIRT1’s target, which is eliminated from replicating DNA by SIRT1 during normal growth, will be enriched in cells without SIRT1 or after aphidicolin treatment. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation and quantitative PCR, we will quantify the abundance/presence of selected targets on replication origins. This will aid in pinpointing the mechanism by which SIRT1 and specific substrates suppress the initiation of DNA replication from replication origins, thus preventing excessive replication to insure genomic stability

The Effects of Elevation on Pseudacris maculata Presence in Rocky Mountain National Park
No full text1 Broadside. 48"W x 36"HBoreal chorus frog populations are declining rapidly due to
habitat loss, disease, and invasive species, which will be
compounded by climate change. The changing environment
of the planet has led to an increasing variability in
temperature and precipitation, which has caused a negative
impact on individual amphibian metamorphosis and growth.
Elevation is an environmental variable that has been studied
widely, however it can be hard to tease apart the effects of
elevation in comparison to climate change. Pseudacris
maculata populations are distributed at various elevations,
but it is unclear if this is due to elevation preference or in
response to climate change. This study aims to investigate if
there is a connection between elevation and amphibian
presence, specifically proposing that increasing elevation
would have a negative effect on the presence of P. maculata
in Rocky Mountain National Park. This research was carried
out using double visual encounter surveys at various sites in
the park with elevation and presence recorded at each site.
The binomial linear regression analysis run showed no
significant results. Elevation did not have an impact on P.
maculata presence, and although there was a negative
correlation between P. maculata and elevation, the result was
not statistically significant. Future climate change
consequences indicate a continued rapid population decline,
with high mortality and stunted growth in P. maculata.Kalamazoo College. Department of Biology. Diebold Symposium, 202

Only (a) God Can Save Us Now : Heidegger, Modernity, and Poetry
No full text59 p.Heidegger, in a 1966 interview with German magazine Der Spiegel (published posthumously), spoke about his relationship to National Socialism and how it broadly was informed by his concerns regarding technology. In the interview, Heidegger utters a now-famous phrase, which I have taken as the title for this paper: “Only a god can save us now.” Contextualizing this phrase within the Nietzsche-Hölderlin discourse, its initial tonal despondence is revealed as a call to action for thinkers and poets. “Only a god can save us. The only possibility available to us is that by thinking and poetizing we prepare a readiness for the appearance of a god, or for the absence of a god in [our] decline, insofar as in view of the absent god we are in a state of decline…we cannot bring him forth by our thinking. At best we can awaken a readiness to wait…” In the same interview with Der Spiegel, Heidegger makes this comment, within which lies the entire scope of this paper: “Everything is functioning. That is precisely what is awesome, that everything functions, that the functioning propels Everything more and more toward further functioning, and that technicity increasingly dislodges man, and uproots him from the earth. I don't know if you were shocked, but [certainly] I was shocked when a short time ago I saw the pictures of the earth taken from the moon. We do not need atomic bombs at all [to uproot us] — the uprooting of man is already here. All our relationships have become merely technical ones. It is no longer u on an earth that man lives today. Recently I had a long dialogue in Provence with Réné Char— a poet and resistance fighter, as you know. In Provence now, launch pads are being built and the countryside laid waste in unimaginable fashion. That poet, who certainly is open to no suspicion of sentimentality or of glorifying the idyllic, said to me that the uprooting of man that is now taking place is the end of everything human], unless thinking and poetizing once again regain [their] nonviolent power.
Art as We Know It
