Math Colloquium: Using Exact Ascertainment and Joint Spectra to Learn Human Genetic History
No full textPresentation delivered March 23, 2012 at Haverford College, KINSC, Math Lounge by Nick Patterson, a Cambridge-educated mathematician who moved from being a cryptanalyst at GCHQ in the UK and IDA CCR in Princeton NJ, to doing financial modeling for Rennaissance Technologies in NY, to doing computational genetics for the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in Boston. Nick Patterson coauthored "A Draft Sequence of the Neandertal Genome", the paper in Science that won the 2010 Newcomb Cleveland Prize of the AAAS.We begin with a brief description of the nature of the data that modern \ud
technology is now making available in genetics. We review ‘f‐statistics’, a useful \ud
methodology for learning about genetic phylogeny. We give some examples that \ud
we found to be surprising. We motivate the definition of the ‘allelic spectrum’, and \ud
then show how algebraic methods can be used to calculate it exactly given a \ud
specific demography. We describe some remarkable data that we have generated, \ud
explain why ancient alleles (such as from the Neandertal genome) are useful for \ud
the analysis, and show implications for the genetic history of Africa.
Analysis of Ancient Bones

Nick Patterson coauthored "A Draft Sequence of the Neandertal Genome", the paper in Science that won the 2010 Newcomb Cleveland Prize of the AAAS.Until recently the only disciplines providing significant information about the pre-literate human past were archaeology and linguistics. Now genetics is making important contributions. We survey recent progress, which includes:\ud
\ud
The discovery that there was mating between modern and archaic humans in Eurasia, and in the ancestral populations of New Guinea and Australia.\ud
Settling a long standing issue as to whether agriculture in Europe originated primarily by cultural diffusion or by population movement.\ud
Improved understanding of the genetic history of India.\ud
We will discuss some of the methods being used, and speculate on future progress
Slow culture: an introduction
No full text[Extract] There is a powerful message permeating our social lives today, found in our self-help networks, talkback television and radio shows, and online forums. It is a warning that, through technology and modernisation, our lifestyles have become increasingly hectic, fast, complex and immediate. 'Life', writes online author Leo Babauta (2009, para. 2), 'moves at such a fast pace that it seems to pass us by before we can really enjoy it'. We are encouraged to take a step back, to breathe deeply and 'slow down', in order to recapture the essence of 'real' living. By doing so, we can escape the seemingly endless stresses associated with our multi-tasked, time-compressed and instantaneous speed culture (Tomlinson 2007). This book presents illustrations of how people are beginning to disentangle themselves from a speed culture by embracing slowness. It is not simply a matter of slowing down, as the term implies, but of undertaking changes in the way we do things at an everyday level. Underpinning these transformations is a concern, as Babauta (2009) suggests, with the uniquely stressful lifestyles we are living in contemporary culture
Nick Earls launches 'Wisdom Tree' - a new model for novella publishing, 9 Jun 2016
No full textBrisbane author Nick Earls discusses 'Wisdom Tree' a new model for novella publishing with fellow author and UQ Senior Lecturer in writing Dr Kim Wilkins. In 2013, Nick Earls realised his five best story ideas would need padding to become novels and would lose something if he tried to trim them to short-story size. He had to write them, and they had to be novellas. He also realised it was time to confront head-on the publishing industry's reluctance to work with the novella form. The result is Wisdom Tree, a new model for novella publishing, a PhD project and a chance to turn his best ideas into a series of five novellas to be published as individual paper, e and audiobooks at monthly intervals from May to September 2016.Introductions by Professor Doune Macdonald, Acting Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic)
Nick de Grandmaison Jr. Reading Our Heritage by John Fisher
No full textAn audograph recording of Nick de Grandmaison Junior reading an excerpt from Our Heritage by John Fisher. The text details the author encountering Red Cloud and David Bearspaw, members of the Stoney tribe, in a Banff hotel lobby on their way to sit for Nicholas de Grandmaison. From here, the clip speaks to why he chose to paint Indigenous peoples, the history of the Blackfoot people, language and colonial contact.The University of Lethbridge Library received permission from the University of Lethbridge Archives and the Dr. Margaret (Marmie) Perkins Hess Gallery to digitize and display this content.Not yet availabl
