Seminar by Andrew Senior, Google DeepMind, "Alphafold: Improved Protein Sturcture Prediction Using Potentials from Deep Learning"
DeepMind's AlphaFold protein structure prediction system
was recently ranked first in free-modelling at the CASP13
(Critical Assessment of Protein Structure Prediction)
biennial blind assessment of prediction methods.
The system relies upon prediction of inter-residue
distances by a very deep neural network. Using these
distance distributions and a reference distribution from a
similar neural network, we construct a potential and show
that we can optimize this potential by a simple application
of gradient descent, as well as with a more conventional
fragment assembly / simulated annealing algorithm.
Despite not using templates, the system also performed
well in the CASP template-based category.
We will discuss the training and use of the neural network
and present contact- and structure-prediction resu.

Forest Bathing Walk
Join UW Botanic Gardens and Cascadia Forest Therapy for a unique forest bathing opportunity in the Washington Park Arboretum. Forest bathing (or shinrin-yoku) has been popular in Japan for decades and is gaining momentum in the US. The practice encourages you to walk in the forest at a slower pace and take in the atmosphere around you. Multiple scientific studies have shown that it lowers stress and blood pressure levels, while increasing immune system functioning, making you more resilient to diseases and illness.
These walks are slow-paced and generally cover less than a mile of trail. During this time the guide, in partnership with the forest, will offer an evolving series of invitations crafted to help participants slow down and open their senses. The opening of one’s senses encourages mindfulness, which readies the heart and mind to be fully present in the natural world. Come discover the medicine of being in the forest.
Cost: $25

Art Exhibit: Plants Pressed: Herbarium Specimens Reveal Powerful and Sometimes Disturbing History
Plants Pressed narrates the power of plants throughout history. Herbaria of pressed plant specimens originally served as pharmaceutical references of potent poisons and healing remedies. Herbarium collections continue to provide scientists vital information about plants in our past and present environments, but they also document and represent a disturbing history that give us insights into the harmful racial divide that persists in the United States today.
The Otis Douglas Hyde Herbarium collects and houses pressed plant specimens from the UW Botanic Gardens and from the research of students, staff and faculty. It is a valuable storehouse of botanical DNA from the Seattle region, the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

Conifers provide the structural framework for many gardens, serving as specimen trees, focal points, screens, and hedges. Unique growth habits along with contrasts of foliage color and texture can provide year round interest in any size garden. In the dark days of winter a golden cypress can light up the garden with colorful foliage, and a prostrate weeping hemlock can soften a rockery year round. If you are interested in refreshing or building up your conifer identification skills, this class is for you. Management and landscape use of conifers will also be discussed.
The class will begin at the Center for Urban Horticulture, with a review of basic conifer tree identification techniques and discussion of common landscape tree species and varieties found in the Pacific Northwest. This will be followed by an outdoor field session in the afternoon at the nearby Seattle Children's Hospital campus. Lunch is included.

Join UW Botanic Gardens and Cascadia Forest Therapy for a unique forest bathing opportunity in the Washington Park Arboretum. Forest bathing (or shinrin-yoku) has been popular in Japan for decades and is gaining momentum in the US. The practice encourages you to walk in the forest at a slower pace and take in the atmosphere around you. Multiple scientific studies have shown that it lowers stress and blood pressure levels, while increasing immune system functioning, making you more resilient to diseases and illness.
These walks are slow-paced and generally cover less than a mile of trail. During this time the guide, in partnership with the forest, will offer an evolving series of invitations crafted to help participants slow down and open their senses. The opening of one’s senses encourages mindfulness, which readies the heart and mind to be fully present in the natural world. Come discover the medicine of being in the forest.
Cost: $25

7 Tuesday evenings, September 24 - November 5, 2019, 7-9:30pm
The pencil is an effective tool for producing beautiful botanical works, and skill in pencil rendering is also a good basis for ongoing study of botanical art in other media, such as watercolor.
Beginning with measurement techniques, observational skills, and the unique requirements of botanical art, the class teaches use of line to accurately portray plant subjects, then moves on to understanding light’s effect on form and the use of shading for three-dimensionality.
While focusing on plants, skills acquired apply to any realistic drawing effort. All levels welcome; intermediate students can take on more advanced plant subjects. A short list of materials for the first class will be provided with your confirmation email, and a more complete list of supplies will be discussed in the first class.
This class or equivalent is recommended as a prerequisite to Botanical Watercolor.

Autumn is a dynamic season in the garden. Many plants are heading into dormancy, while others are in a period of active growth. Doing the right gardening tasks now can set the stage for next year's garden: adding new plants for seasonal interest or making changes to address problems observed over the past season. Some of the best things to do - or to avoid - at this time of year may seem counter-intuitive to some gardeners. This session will cover what to plant in fall, lawn care, how to prepare the garden for winter, and how to maximize seasonal interest and appearance.
Cost: $28
Register online, or by phone (206-685-8033)
About this series:
Plants and gardens don't live by the written calendar, but by the seasonal cycles and cues of changes in daylight, temperature, and moisture. When gardeners become acquainted with the seasonal rhythms and life cycles in the garden, and learn to work in sync with nature, caring for the garden becomes more of a process and less of a battle with potential garden…

Wilding: Returning Nature to Our Farm Book Talk and Signing
Wilding: Returning Nature to Our Farm tells the amazing story of the daring wildlife experiment of Isabella Tree and her husband conservationist, Sir Charles Burrell: the rewilding of their 3,500-acre family estate, Knepp Castle. Forced to accept that intensive farming on the clay soil was not working, they decided to step back and let nature take over. By introducing free-roaming herbivores – proxies of large animals that once roamed Britain— their degraded agricultural land became a functioning ecosystem again. In less than 20 years wildlife has rocketed and many endangered species have returned to Knepp. Soils are now providing benefits for the public good: filtering and purifying natural water sources, mitigating against floods, and capturing carbon. The Knepp experience challenges conventional ideas about our past and present landscape, and points the way to a wilder, richer future.

This session will focus on fungal decay diseases, prevalent in the damp fall season, that affect many of our native tree species in the Pacific Northwest. Recognizing these pathogens is essential when assessing tree health and structure. We will examine samples in the classroom and scout for examples in the field. Plant Health Care (PHC) approaches to management, including acceptable Integrated Pest Management (IPM) methods will be covered. We will also do diagnosis practice in the lab. If some of your plant problem samples have you stymied, let’s figure out what’s wrong with your plant!
This series will introduce you to plant diseases and insect pests of the Pacific Northwest when they are at their peak or most easily detected. We will look at some common and familiar species as well as some new and unusual pests you need to know. Plant specimen samples will be reviewed indoors in addition to diagnosing pest problems in the field. Least toxic and most sustainable pest management methods will be emphasized…

Join UW Botanic Gardens and Cascadia Forest Therapy for a unique forest bathing opportunity in the Washington Park Arboretum. Forest bathing (or shinrin-yoku) has been popular in Japan for decades and is gaining momentum in the US. The practice encourages you to walk in the forest at a slower pace and take in the atmosphere around you. Multiple scientific studies have shown that it lowers stress and blood pressure levels, while increasing immune system functioning, making you more resilient to diseases and illness.
These walks are slow-paced and generally cover less than a mile of trail. During this time the guide, in partnership with the forest, will offer an evolving series of invitations crafted to help participants slow down and open their senses. The opening of one’s senses encourages mindfulness, which readies the heart and mind to be fully present in the natural world. Come discover the medicine of being in the forest.
Cost: $25

Culture-specific patterns of communication play a pivotal role in individuals’ understanding of how to interact with those around them. It is well known that the Japanese communication style is intuitive and indirect, and that interpersonal communication often relies on intuition, empathy, and feeling. This lecture focuses on narrative discourse, a linguistic meeting ground of culture, cognition, and emotions, specifically examining various issues such as genre, topic, and oral vs. written narratives. The lecture demonstrates the importance of paying attention not only to narrative content/structure but also to the appropriate use of linguistic devices. Accordingly, the overall goal of this lecture is to grasp culture- and language-specific ways of expressing affective elements in narrative discourse.

The Paco de Lucía Project
Paco de Lucía was widely considered the world’s premier flamenco guitarist and by some to be Spain’s greatest music ambassador. His influence on flamenco guitar has been compared with that of Andrés Segovia on classical guitar. Javier Limón, his longtime collaborator, producer and ten-time Latin Grammy winner, has reassembled the original band that toured with de Lucía for the last decade of his career. With The Paco de Lucía Project, Limón honors the master’s legacy while paving a new path into the future of flamenco.
