mRNA is never caught naked. RNA binding proteins (RBPs), act as vigilant guardians, covering RNA within cells. The role of RBPs is multifaceted, affecting mRNA processing, localization, life-time, and translation, working at steady state or leading to an instantaneous effect on their target mRNA upon stimuli. RBPs constitute an unexplored frontier, specifically implicated in different diseases including cancer, Neurodegeneration, and inflammation. Over the last decade, advancements in this novel target space have brought us to a juncture where the promise of these new therapeutic opportunities is greater than ever. Join our upcoming webinar to gain insights from expert speakers who have made significant advancements in the field of RBPs: -Definition of an RBP – domains and functional activity -Identification of novel RBPs and RBP-RNA interaction using machine learning -Delve into innovative strategies for discovering RBP modulators

Lauren Morris: The dominance of the 'Silk Road' and searching for a non-elite narrative: challenges in writing the economic history of Kushan Central Asia. The Kushan Empire (ca. 50–350 CE), which once stretched from southern Central Asia to northern India, saw significant developments in the region's history but remains poorly integrated into a global perspective on the ancient world. This talk reflects on the agendas and implications of economic history-writing about Kushan Central Asia. Beginning with the 'Kushan middlemen' narrative, the counterpoint of the luxury and prestige goods excavated at Begram are presented as demonstrating exchange directed to the region rather than through it, and thus local elite agency with wide-reaching impacts. Yet, while a useful corrective, the resulting narrative (and arguably much writing on the Silk Road itself) is one disproportionately concerned with a small group of elites – a point that also characterises our current understanding of political history in the Kushan period. This was not always the case: Soviet-era historiography made attempts, with varying success, to engage with non-elite and non-urban perspectives. The agenda of a new research project at Charles University is then presented: to consider non-elite perspectives alongside issues of inequality – even when data are sparse and poor – in order to help flesh out our understanding of broader dynamics of prosperity, decline, political durability, and collapse during this period. By way of conclusion, some preliminary remarks are offered on the first field season of the Czech-Uzbek Archaeological Expedition at the antique-period rural site of Kulal Tepa in southern Uzbekistan.

In today's fast-paced digital era, businesses need to synchronize their strategic planning with agile methodologies to outpace the competition and adapt to continuous change. Our upcoming webinar delves into the intricate process of harmonizing strategic planning, annual operations planning (AOP), and Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) within the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®), a critical integration for achieving organizational excellence. Participants will gain insights into the myriad benefits of this holistic integration, which encompasses heightened strategic alignment, the ability to swiftly pivot in response to market changes, and improved efficiency through the strategic allocation of resources. Key strategies for successful integration will be shared, including the importance of transparent communication, the role of iterative feedback in fostering continuous improvement, and the necessity of regular strategic reassessment to maintain alignment with organizational objectives.

How to Sharpen Your Skills in Quantum Processor Tune-Up AutomationTuesday, November 14, 2023 • 11:00 AM ETMost quantum processing units (QPUs) today have at best a hundred or a few hundred qubits, which makes qubit characterization extremely complex. The many tune-up operations that take place are not as fast as needed, and they require manual intervention. In this webinar, we demonstrate a software platform that allows researchers to speed up QPU tune-up, have an in-depth understanding of qubit parameters, improve their qubits, and be able to work more efficiently with their chips. Specifically, we will break down the qubit characterization workflow into physical control segments and explain the physics behind those segments. We will use a 5-qubit transmon superconducting qubit chip to explain basic characterization methods: resonator and qubit spectroscopy, Rabi and Ramsey measurements, single-shot readout, and single-qubit gate randomized benchmarking.  At the end, we will put it all back together and show how Quantum Edge automates single-qubit characterization workflow. Learning Outcomes:Dive into the main ideas behind quantum computing building blocks.  Review the basic steps for characterizing single qubits. Break down the physics of superconducting qubits.  Learn about quantum processing unit tune-up automation.  Who Should Attend: Machine learning experts curious about quantum technologies Advanced undergraduate and graduate (master’s and PhD) physics students Software and hardware engineers with an interest in quantum technologies
