About the Lecture
Having journeyed through the Apostles\u27 Creed from “I believe” to “Amen,” we now turn our attention to leaders and models of faith, purposefully considering what we can learn from the lives of saints, popes and Mother Mary.

A simplified and rapid in situ hybridization protocol for planarians
Whole-mount in situ hybridization is a critical technique for analyzing gene expression in planarians. While robust in situ protocols have been developed, these protocols are laborious, making them challenging to incorporate in an academic setting, reducing throughput and increasing time to results. Here, the authors systematically tested modifications to all phases of the protocol with the goal of eliminating steps and reducing time without impacting quality. This modified protocol allows for whole-mount colorimetric in situ hybridization and multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization to be completed in two days with a significant reduction in steps and hands-on processing time.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/faculty_staff_works/1064/thumbnail.jp
Designing Stories to Inspire Preschoolers’ Creative, Collaborative Roleplay
Young children\u27s interactions with media influence their social play, which impacts their development. Seven years ago, at the start of a project developing a system to support preschool children\u27s creative, collaborative roleplay, we identified a need for children\u27s media specifically intended to set up play. In this paper, we present best practices (e.g., designing a balanced cast of characters with complementary skills) and lessons learned (e.g., to proactively counter themes that may encourage stereotypical play) over the course of this project. We also describe our ongoing and planned future work which aims to provide additional scaffolding for children who need extra support to engage with their peers and to create abstractions based on what we have found works well so others can leverage that knowledge as they create their own content.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/faculty_staff_works/1061/thumbnail.jp
