Michigan Tech recently became a corporate member with the Institute of Asset Management.

The IAM is a not-for-profit international professional body dedicated to the whole-life management of physical assets. Established in 1994, its aim is to develop asset management knowledge and best practices while generating awareness of the benefits of the asset management discipline for individuals, organizations and wider society.

This membership brings several benefits to Michigan Tech, such as access to resources, in-person and global events, networking opportunities, and substantial discounts. Even better: Michigan Tech has become the first university to offer a course (CEE5390 Civil Asset Management taught by Mark Declercq) whose content aligns with a professional certification in asset management.

October is nationally recognized as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time when we ask everyone within the Michigan Tech community to get involved by honoring survivors, speaking up against violence and harassing behaviors, and promoting healthy relationships.

Domestic violence, also known as intimate partner violence, is a serious and widespread problem. In the United States, one in four women and one in nine men experience contact sexual violence,* physical violence and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime and report negative impacts such as injury, fear, concern for safety and needing services (CDC, 2017).

This year, the Title IX office has partnered with the Center for Diversity and Inclusion (CDI) to host our annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® event next Tuesday, Oct. 8, from 1-5 p.m.

Michigan Tech’s Safety Team — Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) and the Office of Risk, Insurance, Safety, Security, and Compliance (RISSC) — will be hosting our next monthly Safety Round Table: a place for all Huskies to share a cup of coffee and learn about the importance of campus health and safety.

We invite you to join us tomorrow, Oct. 2, from 9-10 a.m. in the MUB Superior Room.

Having difficulty navigating safety compliance challenges in your labs, among your staff, or across your whole department? We understand that compliance challenges in higher education can be complex and multifaceted. Balancing multiple compliance obligations, limited resources and lack of faculty and staff safety awareness are among the crucial elements in developing robust compliance strategies — and we are here to help!

Safety training compliance is vital for providing a safe Husky learning and working environment. This month, we want to hear from you and understand your safety compliance challenges so we can guide you in overcoming those roadblocks with features within the Safety Skills system. A brief overview of Safety Skill compliance capabilities will be presented before opening the floor for Q&A.

In addition, there will be an informal opportunity to talk with our campus safety professionals for other safety related questions and issues.

So mark your calendars and come ask the questions you have always wanted to ask and get the answers you need about Michigan Tech Safety programs, legal compliance issues and additional resources… and have a cup of Joe with the Safety Crew!

Eriks Rozners, professor of the Department of Chemistry at Binghamton University, will be presenting at this week's Chemistry Seminar.

The seminar will be held in person at 3-4 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 4, in Chem Sci 101.

Rozners’ presentation is titled "Amide-Modified RNA: Using Protein Backbone to Modulate Function of RNA.”

From the abstract:
RNA-based technologies, such as, RNA interference (RNAi) and CRISPR-Cas9 have become powerful tools in molecular biology and new therapeutic approaches. Our research goal is to develop chemical modifications for optimization of in vivo potential of short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and CRISPR associated RNAs (crRNAs). We focus on novel nonionic analogues of RNA that have the phosphodiesters replaced by amide linkages (AM1 in Figure). This presentation will discuss synthesis, structure and biological activity of amide-modified siRNAs and crRNAs. Thermodynamic and structural studies showed that AM1 amides had surprisingly little effect on the A-type conformation and stability of RNA duplexes. RNAi activity assays show that amides are well tolerated at internal positions in both strands of siRNAs. Most remarkably, replacement of a single phosphate linkage between the first and second nucleosides of the passenger strand with an amide linkage almost completely abolished its undesired activity. Most recent studies show that amide modifications in the seed region, especially at position 3, of the guide strand significantly improved specificity of an siRNA by reducing the microRNA-like off-target activity [5]. Eliminating of microRNA-like off-target activity of the guide and passenger strands will be important for improving the in vivo performance and therapeutic potential of RNAi. In a related project, we showed that amide modifications did not interfere with CRISPR-Cas9 activity when placed in the protospacer adjacent motif distal region of crRNAs. Taken together, our results suggest that amides are excellent mimics of phosphate backbone in RNA and may have potential to optimize biological and pharmacological properties of siRNAs and crRNAs for in vivo applications.

Rozners received a degree in chemical engineering (equivalent to a M.S.) and a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from Riga Technical University in Latvia. He started his independent research career in 2001 as an assistant professor at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts.

Rozners moved to Binghamton University as an associate professor of chemistry in 2008 and was promoted to full professor in 2015. He has served as a chair of the chemistry department at Binghamton University (2017-23) and as chair, program chair and secretary of the ACS Carbohydrate Division (2012-19). Rozners’ research interests involve design and synthesis of chemically modified RNA and peptide nucleic acids, and the study of structure, biophysical properties and biological activity of the synthesized analogs. For this work, he received the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities in 2016 and the ACS Division of Carbohydrate Chemistry’s Melville L. Wolfrom Award in 2021.

Alejandra Martínez Blancas will present as part of the Department of Biological Sciences (BioSci) Seminar Series at 3 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 3, in Rekhi G009 or via Zoom.

Join the BioSci Seminar on Zoom.

Blancas’ presentation is titled "The role of species interactions and abiotic factors on diversity maintenance."

From the abstract:
How diversity is maintained in communities has puzzled ecologists for decades. A way of assessing diversity maintenance is through Moder Coexistence Theory (MCT). MCT states that species may coexist if they differ sufficiently in their niches to overcome differences in their fitness. If species differ in their niches, then they will compete more strongly with conspecifics (intraspecific competition) than with other species (interspecific competition). We know that inter- and intraspecific interactions shift under abiotic changes in the environment. For example, competition may become weaker under stressful conditions. However, it is still unclear how coexistence mechanisms change because of these shifts. My research focuses on understanding how shifts in species interactions over abiotic factors affect species coexistence. In a semiarid grassland in Mexico, using field experiments and observational data coupled with dynamic population modeling., I found that the hydric gradient can aid niche differentiation. However, coexistence likely depends on other niche axes such as natural enemies. Indirect facilitation (i.e. when a species constrains another that would otherwise thwart a third) also plays an important role in diversity maintenance in this grassland. Global change factors may also have unexpected consequences on species coexistence. Increased nutrient inputs and greenhouse gasses, on competition and coexistence is still unknown. My current directions include exploring this using data from long-term field experiments that manipulate competition, soil nitrogen (N) and atmospheric CO2. As we desperately attempt to maintain our species diversity in the face of climate change, a better understanding of coexistence mechanisms is necessary.

Blancas is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Plant Biology at Michigan State University.

The Michigan Tech soccer team lost to Purdue Northwest but rallied against Roosevelt this weekend.

Against Purdue Northwest, the Huskies scored first but allowed two goals in the second half, falling to the Pride 2-1 at Dowling Park in Hammond, Indiana, on Friday, Sept. 27. Midfielder Ryley Winrich netted her first career goal for MTU in the match, assisted by defender Grace Hoeppner.

In their next match, the Huskies turned the corner on their two-game losing streak with a convincing 6-0 thumping of Roosevelt at Morris Field on Sunday, Sept. 29. Forward Julia Pietila and midfield/defender Kiersen Korienek each recorded a season-high four points.

"So proud of this group and the response after a tough loss Friday! It was a total team effort. We put together a solid 90-minute game and were able to get a lot of players minutes, which is good for our program and the growth we continue to strive for," Tech head coach Melissa Kuhar said.

The Michigan Tech volleyball team earned a weekend split, hosting Ferris State and Davenport at the SDC Gym this weekend.

Tech fell 3-0 to No. 7 Ferris State on Friday, Sept. 27, falling 25-19, 25-22 and 25-21.

"I'm disappointed that we lost, but I don't think we played horribly," Tech coach Matt Jennings said. "That's a really good team. They're undefeated and top 10 ranked for a reason and have a ton of experience."

MTU swept Davenport 3-0 on Saturday, Sept. 28. The Huskies won 26-24, 25-23 and 25-20 to improve to 6-5 overall and 2-2 in the GLIAC.

"We wanted to come out of the weekend with something for sure. It's no shame to split with Ferris and Davenport," Jennings said. "I thought parts of our game last night were good enough to win, and we played well today. We look forward to being home again next weekend."
