Hosted by: Jim Prell
“Trapped Ion Mobility-Assisted Sequencing and Analysis of Protein Ions”
The sequencing of intact proteins within a mass spectrometer enables the profiling of post-translational modification (PTM) crosstalk but is frequently hindered by convoluted spectra and the fact that tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) techniques often generate poor sequence coverages when applied to protein ions. Ion mobility spectrometry is a promising tool to overcome the complexity of these spectra by separating ions by their mass- and size-to-charge ratios. Here, we discuss the development of an activation method that when paired with trapped ion mobility spectrometry deconvolutes MS/MS spectra and improves the sequence information provided by intact protein focused workflows. Furthermore, we demonstrate the isolation and fragmentation of mobility separated product ions with the downstream quadrupole and collisional cell. This second activation step improves sequence coverage because many of the labile bonds have been depleted during the first dissociation and subsequent dissociation events are more evenly distributed throughout the product ion backbone. When these two activation steps are combined this technique generates 92% of the sequence coverage of the most effective MS/MS technique, but it accomplishes this feat in a fifth of the time and can be facilely integrated with liquid chromatographic separations. Lastly, we demonstrate that this activation technique can be utilized to elucidate the conformation of protein ions.

In partnership with GETSEA – the Consortium of Centers for Southeast Asian Studies, the UO US-Vietnam Research Center and the Center for Asian and Pacific Studies will co-host a screening of the documentary film Vietnamerica.
Following the wars in Vietnam, over two million people fled to country with the collapse of the Republic of Vietnam. That exodus, referred to by many as “the boat people” resulted in nearly half dying while in flight, battling the elements, starvation, and pirates.
Vietnamerica follows Master Nguyen Hoa as he returns to former refugee camps in Southeast Asia after three decades abroad to search for the graves of his wife and two children. Having fled Vietnam in 1981 on a boat with his family and friends, Hoa was the only survivor.
Executive Producer Nancy Bui of the Vietnamese Heritage Foundation joins GETSEA and over 20 universities across North America to watch Vietnamerica together simultaneously and connect via Zoom for a discussion with the filmmaker about the Vietnamese diaspora, their struggle, and how Master Hoa’s story is a prism to see the larger group.
For more information on the film, visit http://vietnamericamovie.org. If you are interested in holding a screening on your campus, contact GETSEA Director of Communications, Chris Hulshof, at chulshof@wisc.edu.

Threats to freedom of speech are all around us, often changing as new threats arise and others diminish. Former director of the American Civil Liberties Union and Professor Emeritus of Law at New York University Nadine Strossen will discuss current free speech controversies, where they fit within broader patterns of law and politics, and how we can best respond to them both within the university and more broadly. Strossen is also a Senior Fellow with FIRE (the Foundation for Individual Rights and Education) and a leading expert and frequent speaker/media commentator on constitutional law and civil liberties, who has testified before Congress on multiple occasions.
She is the author of HATE: Why We Should Resist It with Free Speech, Not Censorship (2018) and Free Speech: What Everyone Needs to Know® (2023). She is also the host and project consultant for Free To Speak, a 3-hour documentary film series on free speech that was released on public television in 2023 (and is also available on YouTube).
The event is sponsored by the UO Heterodox Academy community, the Wayne Morse Center on Law and Politics, the Oregon Humanities Center, the Schnitzer School of Global Studies and Languages, and the Department of Political Science.

The Oregon Humanities Center presents its 2025–26 speaker series centered on the theme of “Attention.”
The “Attention” series will explore the dynamics of how, why, and what we focus on shapes our reality and creates our purpose. Also known as concentration, alertness, focus, notice, awareness, heed, regard, and consideration—Attention is the fundamental cognitive ability to sustain one’s energy on a specific pursuit or thought.
Our first event will feature three UO faculty members on a panel discussing, from their own perspectives, how attention connects us to others and allows us to experience the world around us.
Santiago Jaramillo is an associate professor in the Department of Biology and the Institute of Neuroscience. His lab studies auditory cognition—how the brain helps us hear the world (recognize sounds, pay attention to sounds, remember sounds, etc). Their research is performed on mice so advanced techniques can be utilized to measure individual neurons of different classes and change their activity with high precision. While their work focuses on the healthy brain, rather than any specific disorder, their studies can help others understand and address disorders related to hearing (tinnitus, auditory processing disorders, age-related hearing loss, etc) and inspire better artificial hearing systems.
Kate Mondloch is a professor of Contemporary Art History and Theory. Her research interests focus on late 20th- and early 21st-century art, theory, and criticism, particularly as these areas of inquiry intersect with the cultural, social, and aesthetic possibilities of new technologies. Her research fields include media art and theory, installation art, feminism, new media, science and technology studies, digital humanities, human flourishing, and mindfulness in higher education. She is especially interested in theories of spectatorship and subjectivity, and in research methods that bridge the sciences and the humanities.
Forest Pyle is a professor of English and Cartoon and Comics Studies. His interests include 19th Century British Literary Studies, Literary and Critical Theory, Poetry and Poetics, Postmodern and Contemporary Literary Studies, and Visual Culture. His work explores the problems and posibilities posed by aesthetic experience, particularly in the context of Romantic and post-Romantic literature.

The Oregon Humanities Center presents Christopher Brown and his jazz band
Each moment of our lives presents us with opportunities and challenges for us to make decisions that will shape the next minute, hour, day, week, month, year, and decade to come. If we want positive outcomes, the challenge is learning how to string together appropriate decisions in each moment. And for that, a decision-making filter is required. Christopher Brown and his band will demonstrate how jazz musicians use decision-making filters to identify what’s worth and what’s not worth paying attention to in various moments of our lives. His presentation and the band’s performance “Beyond the Buzz: Finding the Signal in a Noisy World” will take place in the Sheffer Recital Hall. There will be a reception with no-host bar at 5:30 p.m. The presentation and performance will begin at 6 p.m.
Christopher Brown is a Portland-based musician, composer, bandleader, and educator who seeks to be a voice for the advocacy of jazz music and American culture. After 20 years of military service, Brown studied jazz at Rutgers University’s Mason Gross School of the Arts earning undergraduate and graduate degrees in Jazz Studies/Performance. He has taught as an artist in-residence at Wells Fargo’s “NJPAC Jazz For Teens” program (NJ), Mt. Hood Jazz Camp (OR), Mel Brown Jazz Camp (OR), Litchfield Jazz Camp (CT), Rutgers Summer Jazz Institute (NJ), Montclair Jazz Camp (NJ), and the International Summer Music Camp (Brno, Czech Republic). His musical and personal experiences have led him to an interest in synthesizing the principles of jazz with the day-to-day practicalities of life.
