SUMMARY:SPRC Seminar Presentation: Dr. Horacio de la Iglesia - "Lunar Modulation of Sleep"
DESCRIPTION:The Sleep and Performance Research Center welcomes Dr. Horacio de la Iglesia\, PhD\, University of Washington\,  to WSU Spokane on Wednesday\, April 15th\, 2026. He will present his seminar at 10:15am entitled\, “Lunar Modulation of Sleep”\, in SAC 147 and via Zoom.  \nThroughout evolution and history\, humans have progressively isolated themselves from natural cycles through built environments that isolate them from the external environment. Key to this isolation is our ability to manipulate artificial light and extend our activity into the nighttime. However\, recent studies from our laboratory show that both the sun and the moon continue to shape our daily sleep even in highly urbanized communities. I will present data from human and non-human primates that provide evidence for the synchronization of sleep with both the solar day and the lunar month; surprisingly\, synchronization with the lunar cycle is not explained by moonlight but instead by its gravitational pull. \nDr. Horacio de la Iglesia finished his undergraduate studies in Biology at the University of Buenos Aires\, Argentina. He earned his PhD in Neuroscience and Behavior at the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst\, where he studied the neuroanatomical interactions between the master circadian clock of mammals and the brain centers that control reproduction. Dr. de la Iglesia continued his research on the neural control of circadian rhythms as a Post-doctoral Fellow and as an Instructor at the University of Massachusetts Medical School\, while he was also an Instructor at Harvard University. He joined the University of Washington Department of Biology in 2003. In 2025\,  he became a member of the WA State Academy of Science. \nZoom Information: \n\nMeeting ID: 960 0142 1805\nPasscode: 855095\n\n

SUMMARY:TMP Seminar Presentation: Building Safer Learning Spaces: Humanistic and Trauma-Informed Approaches in Anatomy Education
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Translational Medicine and Physiology welcomes Dr. Jessica Byram\, Associate Professor in the Department of Anatomy\, Cell Biology\, and Physiology and Assistant Director of the Phase 1 Curriculum at Indiana University School of Medicine\, Indianapolis\, to WSU Spokane on Wednesday\, February 4\, 2026. \nShe will be providing her seminar at 10:00 AM\, “Building Safer Learning Spaces: Humanistic and Trauma-Informed Approaches in Anatomy Education”\, in SAC 147 and via Zoom. \nJessica Byram\, PhD\, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Anatomy\, Cell Biology\, and Physiology and Assistant Director of the Phase 1 Curriculum at Indiana University School of Medicine\, Indianapolis\, IN. She is the director of the Anatomy & Physiology Education Track PhD Program. She teaches histology\, embryology\, and gross anatomy to undergraduate\, graduate\, and medical students. Her research interests include professional identity formation across the medical education spectrum and the integration of non-traditional discipline-independent skills into anatomy education. \nThis seminar will explore innovative approaches to integrating humanistic and trauma-informed principles into gross anatomy education. We will explore how integrating pathology and histopathology into anatomy curricula can deepen students’ understanding of disease and foster professional identity formation. Additionally\, we will discuss the challenges learners face in the anatomy laboratory\, particularly when prior trauma intersects with dissection experiences\, and how trauma-informed medical education (TIME) strategies can create safer\, more supportive learning environments. Attendees will gain insights into curricular design that promote empathy and clinical relevance while addressing the emotional complexities of anatomy education. \nJoin us in SAC 147 or via Zoom. \n  \n
