Advising You are required to meet with your advisor every term in order to receive your PIN. Please visit the BEE advising webpage<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbee.orego…> to review requirements and the advising guide. You don't have to wait until registration time to set up an appointment. As long as you have had a meeting this term and discussed future coursework, the advisor can issue you your PIN number via email when they become available. If you will have a lot to discuss in your meeting, it is a good idea to get in early. The College of Engineering and College of Science offer free peer tutoring for a wide variety of courses. Check this webpage for more information and schedules - https://engineering.oregonstate.edu/current-students/academic-support<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fengineeri…>. NEW! Mentorship Program Welcome to the start of the year with the BEE community! We have an exciting new program for our Ecological Engineering undergraduates starting this year thanks to input from our Alumni during exit interviews and BEE Department Head's, Dr. Adam Ward, excitement to invest in every students success while studying with us and beyond. We would like to invite you all to participate in the Biological & Ecological Engineering Mentor Collective Program. When you sign up for this program, you will be matched with an alumni mentor. A mentor can provide additional support and guidance because they have been where you are now. To get started, register and complete a short survey (this will take you only 3 minutes!) telling us about yourself, and we will match you with a mentor with similar interests and backgrounds and what's important to you. Click here to register and complete your survey <https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Foregonsta…> Once you complete that survey, you can expect an email from the Mentor Collective team with more information - be sure to check it out, and do not hesitate to reach out to Jennifer Cohen in either the main office (Gilmore 116) or her email at Jennifer.cohen(a)oregonstate.edu<mailto:Jennifer.cohen@oregonstate.edu> or reach out to the Mentor Collective directly at help(a)mentorcollective.org<mailto:help@mentorcollective.org>. Seminars and Lectures: Water Resource Seminar Series: This Week's Title: "Water Works of the Wooded World" Speaker: Dr. Dell Levia When: February 5 - 4:00pm-5:00pm Where: Bexell Hall 328 or Zoom<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Foregonsta…> (passcode WRE2025) Next Week's Title: "Landscape Heterogeneity Regulates Nitrogen Export From Mountainous Watersheds" Speaker: Dr. Nick Bouskill When: February 12 - 4:00pm-5:00pm Where: Bexell Hall 328 or Zoom<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Foregonsta…> (passcode WRE2025) HMSC Research Seminar - Arctic Cod Reproduction Under Prolonged Exposure to Ocean Acidification<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fevents.or…> When: Thursday, February 6 - 3:30pm-4:30pm Speaker: Emily Slesinger, Alaska Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Services, NOAA Where: Hatfield Marine Science Center, 2030 SE Marine Science Dr., Newport, OR 97365 Topic: Arctic cod reproduction under prolonged exposure to ocean acidification High latitude ecosystems are vulnerable to ocean acidification (OA), potentially affecting important fish species including Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida), a key forage fish species in the Arctic Ocean important for birds, marine mammals and other commercial and subsistence fished species. As the effects of climate change continue to alter natural ecosystems, existing relationships between fish reproductive development, output and success may change due to the direct and indirect effects of environmental stressors on reproductive biology. Field-based methods can provide valuable information about the past and current status of fish populations, yet lack the control to define mechanistic links between environmental stressors, parental condition and reproduction, especially in harsh, remote environments. To fill this knowledge gap, we performed a 6-month experiment in the lab where we exposed adult Arctic cod to either control or OA conditions from the onset of reproductive development in early October through larval hatching at the end of March. We assessed adult energetic status post-spawning, female and male gamete quality, 24-hr post fertilization developmental success and condition, larval hatching success, hatch timing, and larval sizes and energy stores at hatch. Overall, we found that prolonged exposure to OA led to unique responses that differed between male and female fish, as well as across multiple life stages from adults to gametes to hatched larvae. This comprehensive experiment also produced useful data that allowed us to investigate other biological influences on Arctic cod reproduction (e.g., higher female energetic status leads to better embryo development!). In this seminar we will first discuss the effects of OA on Arctic cod reproduction and larval development, and then explore some of the additional biological influences on Arctic cod reproductive biology. HMSC Research Seminar - Regeneration Revealed: A Single-Cell Journey into Hydractinia<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fevents.or…> When: Thursday, February 13 - 3:30pm-4:30pm Where: Hatfield Marine Science Center, 2030 SE Marine Science Dr., Newport, OR 97365 Speaker: Jingwei Song, Research Associate, Oregon State University's Coastal Oregon Marine Experiment Station (COMES)/USDA-ARS Pacific Shellfish Breeding Center Topic: Regeneration Revealed: A Single-Cell Journey into Hydractinia Regeneration is a remarkable biological phenomenon that has captivated scientists for over a century. Among the most fascinating organisms with regenerative capabilities is Hydractinia, a marine colonial hydrozoan that has been a subject of study since the 1880s, beginning with the pioneering work of August Weismann. This extraordinary organism possesses the ability to regenerate throughout its life, a feat made possible by its population of stem cells capable of differentiating into all other cell types. With modern genetic tools, we can now delve into the cellular and molecular mechanisms underpinning Hydractinia's regenerative prowess. Single-cell RNA-sequencing has proven invaluable in this effort, providing unprecedented resolution into the diverse cellular populations and their gene expression dynamics. In this seminar, I will introduce the biology of Hydractinia and highlight its significance as a model system for studying regeneration. I will also discuss the application of single-cell RNA-sequencing to this species, detailing key insights gleaned from this rich dataset and their implications for understanding stem cell biology and regenerative mechanisms.
