What Studies of Fruit Flies Can Teach Us about Sleep\nWe spend almost 1/3 of our life sleeping\, and yet we know very little about this mysterious behavioral state. An answer to even the seemingly simplest question continues to elude us: Why do we get sleepy? In the last 20 years\, many advances in our understanding of this topic have come from studies of an unlikely subject – the fruit fly\, Drosophila melanogaster. In this talk\, I will discuss some of the broad benefits of studying sleep in fruit flies and will share some of the projects from my lab in which we examine how sleep is regulated by internal and environmental factors. \nChris Vecsey\, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor and Director of the Neuroscience Program at Skidmore College. He has been at Skidmore for 10 years\, but before that was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Swarthmore College\, a Postdoctoral Fellow at Brandeis University\, a Ph.D. student at the University of Pennsylvania\, and an undergraduate at Amherst College. His research examines the neurobiological mechanisms of sleep regulation in fruit flies\, and he teaches courses on Neurophysiology\, Mechanisms of Memory\, and the Neurobiology of Sleep. \n\nScience on Tap Saratoga

Co-presented by Skidmore’s Environmental Studies and Sciences Department and Sustainable Saratoga\, these monthly opportunities for discussion reflect the unique intellectual culture of the greater Capital Region and promote scientific literacy. \nThe next Science on Tap is Wednesday\, April 30 @ 7:00 pm. \nTalk Title: Tiny Bug\, Big Problem – Ticks and the Diseases They Carry. \nTalk Description:  Ticks are blood sucking arachnids that can transmit harmful microbes while they bite. In New York\, Lyme disease is the most common bacterial infection transmitted by black-legged (deer) ticks\, but other serious diseases like babesiosis\, anaplasmosis\, and ehrlichiosis can also occur. This talk will look at the potential consequences of tick/human interactions\, with a focus on Lyme disease – the most common tick-borne illness and one that is associated with long term chronic illness if not correctly diagnosed and treated. \nHolly Ahern is an award-winning professor at SUNY Adirondack where she teaches courses in\nbiology and microbiology. As a result of her family’s personal experience with Lyme disease\, she\nco-founded and is Vice-President of Lyme Action Network\, a national 501-c-3 with a mission of\npatient education and advocacy. Holly is also the Scientific Advisor for the Focus on Lyme\nFoundation based in Phoenix\, Arizona\, which funds strategic research projects aimed at\nimproving the quality of diagnostic testing for Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses. As a\nscientist and advocate\, she was appointed to serve on state and federal advisory groups\,\nincluding the HHS Tick Borne Disease Working Group and the NYS Tick Borne Disease Working\nGroup. She remains actively involved in NYS and federal legislative initiatives to improve access\nto care for “long-hauler” Lyme disease patients and people with other chronic illnesses. In\n2023\, Holly co-founded and serves as Chief Scientific Officer of ACES Diagnostics\, a company\ncreated to make clinically accurate diagnostic tests and therapeutics broadly available to Lyme\ndisease patients. \nAdmission is free and all ages are welcome. Come early to get a bite to eat. The talk will start promptly at 7:00pm. \n\nScience on Tap Saratoga

Each talk takes place in a relaxed pub atmosphere where communication flows freely between scientists and the public. Co-presented by Skidmore’s Environmental Studies and Sciences Department and Sustainable Saratoga\, these monthly opportunities for discussion reflect the unique intellectual culture of the greater Capital Region and promote scientific literacy. \nThe next Science on Tap is Wednesday\, March 26 @ 7:00 pm. \nAdmission is free and all ages are welcome. Come early to get a bite to eat. The talk will start promptly at 7:00pm. \nTalk Title – Salting the streams: How NY’s road salt usage is disrupting our freshwater ecosystems\n\n\nTalk Description – Road salt usage varies extensively within the USA. In 2023 New York led the nation\, applying more than 600\,000 tons of dry sodium chloride road salt. Road salt enters our watersheds\, negatively affecting drinking water quality and stream health. Nonetheless\, there has been little investigation into how road salt in New York is affecting the health of benthic invertebrates\, key players in stream food webs. Many benthic macroinvertebrates\, aquatic insects who feed on the bottom of stream\, break down plant matter\, a key component of aquatic nutrient cycles. They are also a primary food source for fish\, amphibians\, and birds. Exposure to high amounts of chloride can cause invertebrates physiological stress or death\, and thus road salt usage directly impacts the abundance of diversity of benthic invertebrates in our streams. Understanding the extent in which New York’s abnormally high use of road salt is affecting our steam ecosystems is key for watershed conversation\, including setting data-informed recommendations for limits on pollution concentrations. \nMelissa DeSiervo\, PhD\, is an assistant professor in the Biology Department at Union College (Schenectady\, NY). She is a population and community ecologist interested in species interactions and movement in a rapidly changing world. She primarily works on plants and insects in a variety of local and non-local ecosystems including forests\, grasslands\, ponds\, and freshwater streams. \n\nScience on Tap Saratoga

Each talk takes place in a relaxed pub atmosphere where communication flows freely between scientists and the public. Co-presented by Skidmore’s Environmental Studies and Sciences Department and Sustainable Saratoga\, these monthly opportunities for discussion reflect the unique intellectual culture of the greater Capital Region and promote scientific literacy. \nThe next Science on Tap is Wednesday\, January 29 @ 7:00 pm. \nAdmission is free and all ages are welcome. Come early to get a bite to eat. The talk will start promptly at 7:00pm. \nSpeaker: Professor Casey Schofield \nTalk title: To Disclose or Withhold: Capturing and Understanding Mental Health Stigma \n\nTalk description: As prevalence rates for mental illness rise – especially among young adults – so too do the pressures associated with navigating the decision of whether (and when) to disclose the experience of a mental illness. Dr. Schofield’s research program explores the nature and impact of stigma outcomes associated with such disclosure\, as well as the role that social pressures play in constraining people’s willingness to authentically report stigmatizing attitudes. This research talk will present data from a series of studies concerned with exploring impacts of disclosure for young adults in particular\, across the contexts of college admissions and college housing decisions. \nBrief bio: Casey Schofield\, PhD is a Professor of Psychology at Skidmore College and a licensed clinical psychologist. She completed her doctoral training at Binghamton University\, and both her postdoctoral residency and fellowship at Brown University. Her research program documents the presence and nature of mental health stigma for patients with mood and anxiety disorders – from young adults to perinatal women. In addition\, this work confronts the measurement challenges that present when assessing socially sensitive topics. She teaches coursework across the psychology curriculum\, including Introduction to Psychological Science\, Research Methods and Statistics\, Psychological Disorders\, and Psychological Testing. She maintains a small private practice offering evidence-based psychotherapy for anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
