MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

[cid:7f5dc6bd-2fa9-476b-a771-f0af587a2bfa]

Dr. Scott Bolton

Research Scientist (and Data Management Scientist for EMBRIO!)

Kinzer-Ursem Lab

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, Purdue University

What's your hometown, State, Country (and one thing you love, miss, remember, or want to tell others about it)?

I’m originally from Chicago, but I have also lived in Texas, Connecticut, and Florida. I am a city person, so I miss the energy and diversity that comes with living downtown. But living here provides a great environment to settle down and raise a family.

What are your hobbies?

I am a musician, a multi-instrumentalist and have played keyboards in neo-soul and hip-hop bands. I cook all different types of cuisine from around the world and love to throw dinner parties with lots of food, wine, music, and kids running all around the house! I also love interior design, fashion, art, and playing frisbee with my two whippet dogs.

What drew you into becoming a scientist or engineer (or both)?

I have always wanted to understand how things work. I had always been interested in electronics and chemistry and was fascinated by keyboard synthesizers as a kid. My undergraduate degree was a dual degree in music composition and in computer engineering, and that set the stage for an engineering career. I worked in digital signal processing research and development, specifically audio and video compression. When I went back for my master’s degree, I joined a lab that studied collaborative virtual reality environments, which was fun. After working at both startup and large companies, I discovered the possibilities of combining computational simulations, chemistry, and biology and realized this was something with endless potential. So, I persuaded my wife and family that starting a career completely over again in organic chemistry was a really great idea! We packed up everything and moved here to Purdue so I could start a new career in science. After graduating from the Purdue PULSe program, I now get to experiment with chemical biology, structural biology, and computer modeling to investigate the molecular behavior of neurons, and it is incredibly rewarding.

Tell us the main point of your research (or staff efforts) as it relates to EMBRIO:

The Kinzer-Ursem lab works at the intersection of computer simulation and wet-lab biological experiments. We use spatial-stochastic coarse-grained simulations to model mechanisms of calcium-dependent protein activity at the post-synaptic density of hippocampal neurons. We then probe primary neuronal cells with labeled proteins with the goal of validating the simulations. Specifically, I study the time and spatial gradients of kinase activation intertwined with actin remodeling that occurs during calcium simulation of the post-synaptic spine.

I have also taken on a data management role to lead the integration of all EMBRIO digital image data into a publicly facing repository that is persistent and extensible, rich in metadata, and standardized for mining by machine learning algorithms. With my backgrounds in machine vision, microscopy, and protein labeling, I hope to make this repository a success for EMBRIO and useful to everyone in the institute.

EMBRIO SURVEYS

MANDATORY ANNUAL EVALUATION SURVEY - (All members receiving EMBRIO support must complete)

Identical to last year, the Gardner lab is conducting the third annual evaluation survey supporting required NSF data, as well as  Thrust 4 research into the interdisciplinary nature of the Institute. If you have not yet responded, look for the individual reminder email delivered to each active member’s inbox via the Qualtrics Survey System. Please commit to 20 min. to complete this mandatory survey ASAP! We are required to submit the information to our NSF funder. Like last year's survey, you will have the ability to opt out of having your answers used in the research component, though completing the survey is still mandatory. Consenting to allow your answers to be used in the research component is much appreciated. Contact Soumi Mukherjee and Dr. Stephanie Gardner for questions or concerns about the survey (mukher42 at purdue.edu and sgardne at purdue.edu ).

Grad Students: (paid participation) Research Study on Interdisciplinary STEM identity among graduate student trainees in EMBRIO. Contact Emily Georgopoulos, Gardner Lab, egeorgop at purdue.edu<mailto:egeorgop at purdue.edu>

We are recruiting EMBRIO graduate students for a research study to identify and describe the development and trajectory of interdisciplinary STEM identity among graduate student trainees in EMBRIO.  We want to know how grad students' experiences in different contexts of their academic and personal lives contribute to the way they see themselves as researchers. To participate in this study you must be 18 or older. You must be a current active graduate student in the EMBRIO institute from any affiliated institution. Participation will entail a virtual session, including an interview and a survey, that will last no more than 70 minutes.  You may be invited to a second follow-up interview during the next academic year, which will last no more than 70 minutes.

To compensate you for your time, you will receive $20 in the form of an Amazon gift card.  If you are invited and choose to participate in a second interview, you will receive a second $20 gift card.

Your participation in this study is voluntary and not required as a member of EMBRIO. You can withdraw at any time, and your decision on whether to participate will not affect any aspect of your association with EMBRIO.  If you wish to participate in this study or have any questions, check your emails for a message from Emily Georgopoulos (egeorgop at purdue.edu) to schedule an interview session.

EMBRIO SUMMER SCHOOL

All Institute members are encouraged to participate. There may be room for graduate TA’s at Purdue outside of EMBRIO to also participate.

EMBRIO INSTITUTE’S 3rd ANNUAL SUMMER SCHOOL: Communicating your research with novice audiences through computational media.

Participants will identify a topic of their research (or teaching) that they want to make accessible to novice audiences. Following best practices of learning design or mentoring, participants will create a product (e.g., a computational Colab notebook, a digital poster, a Prezi presentation, or similar) to teach or communicate their selected topic to broader audiences.
