How do brain cells communicate? Neuroscientists have focused on chemical and electrical signaling, but now a tantalizing new possibility has emerged. This form of communication involves light; brain cells also seem to use photons to send messages to each other. It has been known for decades that living tissues emit “biophotons” at low intensity, but the biological function has been unclear. I will address several key questions: Do different types of brain cells have different patterns of biophoton activity? Do biophotons change as a result of stress?
Maria-Eirini Pandelia, associate professor of Biochemistry at Brandeis University, will be discussing the unexpected occurrence of Fe-S clusters in viral oncogenes and proteases initially predicted to be Zn-dependent, as well as exploring the untapped potential of cyanobacterial genomes for discovering toxins and antibiotics that could greatly impact ecology, agriculture and human health.

The actions of the second Trump administration have caused widespread disruption across the scientific enterprise. To what extent does the upheaval reflect the administration’s new ambitions for science policy? And how might this era of destabilization itself change the trajectory of the country’s leadership in science and technology? In this transformed landscape, how can the effects of change be measured? And where does science policy go from here?
