“Quantifying Zebrafish Pattern Variability and Model Robustness”
Wild-type zebrafish feature black and yellow stripes across their body and fins, but mutants display a range of altered patterns, including spots and labyrinth curves. All these patterns form due to the interactions of pigment cells, which sort out through movement, birth, competition, and transitions in cellular shape during early development. The diversity of patterns on zebrafish makes it a useful organism for helping elucidate how genes, cell behavior, and visible animal characteristics are related, and the goal of our work is to help link genetic mutations to altered cell behaviors. Using an agent-based approach, we couple deterministic cell migration by ODEs with stochastic rules for updating population size to reproduce a range of fish patterns. Within a single zebrafish mutation, however, there is a lot of variability, and this makes it challenging to first identify the features of a pattern that we are trying to reproduce and then judge model success. Moreover, cells interact in a noisy environment on the fish skin, and model results need to be robust to realistic biological stochasticity. To help address these challenges, here we present a study of pattern variability and model robustness using topological tools to quantify zebrafish pattern features.…
Notre Dame Energy Week is an annual event sponsored by the ND Energy Student Energy Board. Energy Week is designed to create awareness and educate the community on current energy-related issues and topics. Celebrating more than a decade of raising awareness, the 13th annual Notre Dame Energy will be held September 8-16, 2019 and offer a wide range of programs of interest to the energy and environmentally conscious members of the Notre Dame and surrounding communities.

The Climate Leadership Summit is an annual, statewide conference specially designed for mayors, city leaders, and community partners to discuss how to prepare for the changing climate. The conference focuses on mitigation and adaptation through green jobs, renewable energy, public health, sustainable food, water conservation, communication, and youth engagement, among many other important topics. We celebrate the progress Indiana communities have already achieved and give cities the opportunity to share best practices.…
