134th ANNUAL ACADEMY MEETING LUNCHEON: White River Ballroom (ID badges required) Academy President Alice Heikens will host the 134th Annual Academy Meeting Luncheon. She will present the Luncheon Speaker, Indianapolis Prize winner, Dr. Russell Mittermeier

Dr. Russell Mittermeier is Global Wildlife Conservation’s Chief Conservation Officer. In this role, he leverages his extensive experience and network to protect wildlife and wildlands—enormous reservoirs of biodiversity and key components in preventing runaway climate change— particularly in biodiversity hotspots and critical wilderness areas. Mittermeier came to GWC from Conservation International, where he served as president from 1989 until 2014, and most recently as executive vice chair.

Named a “Hero for the Planet” by TIME magazine, Mittermeier is regarded as a world leader in the field of biodiversity and tropical forest conservation. Trained as a primatologist and herpetologist, he has traveled widely in 169 countries on seven continents, and has conducted field work in more than 30, focusing particularly on Amazonia (especially Brazil and Suriname), the Atlantic Forest region of Brazil, and Madagascar.

Since 1977, Mittermeier has served as chairman of the IUCN Species Survival Commission Primate Specialist Group, and he has been a member of the Steering Committee of the Species Survival Commission since 1982. Prior to working for Conservation International, he spent 11 years at World Wildlife Fund-U.S. (1978−198 9), starting as director of its Primate Program and ending up as vice president for Science. He also served as an IUCN regional councilor for the period between 2004 and 2012, was elected as one of IUCN’s four vice presidents between 2009 and 2012, and then was elected a lifetime Honorary IUCN Member in 2012. In addition, he has been an adjunct professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook since 1978 (and received an Honorary Doctorate there in 2007), a research associate at the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University for more than two decades, and president of the Margot Marsh Biodiversity Foundation since 1996.

Mittermeier has been particularly interested in the discovery and description of species new to science. He has described a total of 18 new species (three turtles, six lemurs, two tarsiers, and seven monkeys) and has eight species named in his honor (three frogs, a lizard, two lemurs, a saki monkey, and an ant). In addition, Mittermeier has placed considerable emphasis on publishing. His output now includes 35 books and more than 650 scientific and popular articles.

Mittermeier has had a lifelong interest in tribal peoples, and has worked with many different communities, from the Trio of southern Suriname and the Saramaccaner, Matawai, and Aucaner Maroons of central Suriname to the Kayapó of the Brazilian Amazon.

11 A brief history of CRISPR and potential roles for genome editing in human health

Douglas Bernstein, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Biology, Ball State University

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) mediated genome editing continues to revolutionize molecular biology. Genome editing technologies have dramatically enhanced the scientific community’s ability to manipulate the genomes of model organisms and has facilitated significant progress in fields for which classical genetic techniques were impractical. Since CRISPR’s genome editing capability was realized noteworthy experiments investigating human disease have been performed in mammals. In this hot topic we will discuss some of the foundational discoveries made by scientists that have paved the way for these advances. We will discuss the required components of CRISPR genome editing systems and the role these components play in genome editing. In addition, we will examine the next generation of CRISPR mediated genome editing techniques that are being developed and how these advancements could advance our ability to edit genomes. Finally, we will discuss how CRISPR mediated genome editing is impacting human health and potential consequences of editing the human genome.

Dr. Bernstein is currently an Assistant Professor in the Biology Department of Ball State University where my lab studies RNA modification in the human fungal pathogen C. albicans. He received his BS in Biochemistry from Rutgers University and his PhD from the University of Wisconsin Madison where he studied the structure and function of proteins involved in DNA replication, recombination, and repair in bacteria. Before joining the faculty at Ball State he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in the lab of Gerry Fink. During his time as a postdoc he became interested in RNA metabolism in human fungal pathogens. He has continued this line of investigation as a principal investigator examining pseudouridylation in C. albicans. This work will lead to a better understanding of the function/s these modifications play in vivo. Furthermore, examination of such differences could lead to the identification of novel therapeutic targets.………………………………………………………………………………………………….....

One Health in Action: Zoonotic and Vector-Borne Disease Investigations

Taryn Stevens, Indiana State Department of Health

This hot topic will describe recent investigations in Indiana of infectious diseases that are transmitted by contact with arthropods or vertebrate animals. Effective control of these diseases requires interdisciplinary collaboration between human, animal, and environmental health professionals (a One Health approach). The role of public health agencies in the surveillance, prevention, and control of these diseases will be emphasized.

Taryn Stevens is the Zoonotic and Vector-borne Epidemiologist at the Indiana State Department of Health. She earned her MPH with an epidemiology concentration from Indiana University-Purdue University in 2016. Ms. Stevens has over four years of experience working in health care systems and public health. Her interests include infectious disease epidemiology, One Health, and new and emerging zoonotic and vector-borne diseases.

12 The Identify Indiana Initiative: Combining Outreach, Education and Service to Reinvestigate Cold Human Remains Cases in the State of Indiana

Krista Latham, PhD, D-ABFA; Associate Professor, University of Indianapolis Departments of Biology and Anthropology

The Identify Indiana Initiative grew from the proposition that many unidentified cold cases in Indiana could benefit from the application of new technologies, such as missing persons databases, DNA profiling, and isotope analysis. A team of volunteer specialists including forensic anthropologists, law enforcement personnel, DNA laboratory technicians, coroners, and National Missing Persons Data System (NamUs) administrators was assembled to reopen these cases, which date back to 1974. The first step in this process is inventorying the unidentified cases in the state. Locating some of the unidentified individuals was straightforward since they are curated at the University of Indianapolis Human Identification Center, while others require exhumation from cemeteries across the state. Skeletal and dental analyses were conducted on the exhumed remains that were buried before forensic anthropologists were practicing in the state. The information from the skeletal examination was combined with data from law enforcement records to create an entry in the Unidentified Persons section of the NamUs database. Skeletal samples were then collected for molecular investigations, including DNA profile generation and isotope analysis. The collaboration process, utilization of new technologies, and challenges faced by the team will be discussed within the context of several examples in which unidentified remains were exhumed and reanalyzed for this initiative. As the scientific tools and technologies of forensic investigations evolve, unidentified human remains should be reinvestigated to increase the chance of identification. Outreach to state county coroners and offering a basic scientific education on new molecular technologies has been essential for team members to facilitate positive identifications on 16% of its cold human remains cases to date.

Dr. Krista Erin Latham is an Associate Professor of Biology and Anthropology at the University of Indianapolis, where she has taught since 2007.

13 More than a ditched weed – Hemp in Indiana 2019 & 2020

Robert D. Waltz, Ph.D., State Chemist & Seed Commissioner Past President 03’, Indiana Academy of Science

Hemp is one of the oldest crops known in human culture. Its uses as a source of fiber and food have been universally recognized. Beginning in 2014, the United States congress reauthorized states to conduct research on hemp as a reintroduced crop. Indiana participated in that program. The 2018 Farm Bill, passed at the end of December 2018, made significant changes in federal law and how hemp will be regulated in the United States. In 2019 , the Indiana legislature is considering hemp laws that conform existing Indiana state law to the federal law, and that will allow hemp to be grown as a crop in 2020. Updates on the Indiana situation and concerns surrounding the adoption of this potentially valuable reintroduced crop species will be the point of this hot topic discussion.

Fifty Years Since the First Moon Landing: Commemorating the History and Achievement of NASA

Chris Edwards, Ed.D. Fishers High School, Fishers, IN

On July 20, 1969, the Apollo 11 lunar module touched down on the Moon. The American desire to land astronauts on the Moon began as a way to check the Soviet Union's advancement in rocket technology. However, as the U.S. entered into Vietnam and the Civil Rights movement, the moon landing took on different connotations. Chris Edwards is the author of the forthcoming Young Adult book titled All About the Moon Landing (Blue River/Cardinal Press) and will be sharing the history and science of the moon landing on this anniversary year. Chris Edwards teaches World History and AP World History at Fishers High School. He is the author of several books with Rowman & Littlefield Education. His teaching methodology has been published by the National Council for Social Studies and his scholarship through the National Council for History Education. He has presented his teaching methods nationally in a two-part webinar series through the National Council for Social Studies. Chris is a frequent contributor to the science and philosophy journal Skeptic on the topics of law, logic, theoretical physics, the history and philosophy of science, education, philosophy, and psychology. Dr. Edwards directs the Scientech/ Ball State University Summer Institute for Math and Science Teachers which is now supported through the Scientech Club Foundation and through the state of Indiana's education budget.

14 Potential novel therapeutics for relapsed and refractory leukemia

Herman O. Sintim, DPhil, Purdue University

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are two major types of leukemia. CML is driven by mutated BCR-ABL1 kinase whereas about 30% of AML patients harbor mutated FLT3 kinase. First- and second-generation ABL1 kinase inhibitors have witnessed tremendous clinical successes, vastly improving survival rates for CML from 6% in the 1970s to over 90% in the post-imatinib era. The situation with AML is however different. AML is still a devastating disease with a 5-year overall survival of about 30%. For elderly patients over 65 years, the 5-year survival rate is less than 10%. Many FLT3 inhibitors have undergone clinical trials, and two (midostaurin and gilteritinib) are currently approved by the FDA. The majority of FLT3 inhibitors suffer from drug resistance due to secondary mutations. We have developed new class of FLT3 kinase inhibitors, which potently inhibit FLT3 enzymes harboring mutations that commonly occur at relapse, such as the gatekeeper FLT3 (ITD, F691L). These compounds have displayed remarkable efficacies in mice xenograft models and are good leads for potential clinical translation.

Herman O. Sintim received his B.S. in Medicinal Chemistry from University College London. He did his DPhil, funded by an ORS fellowship, in organic chemistry at University of Oxford under Prof. David Hodgson. He held postdoctoral positions at Oxford and Stanford Universities (with Profs Tim Donohoe and Eric Kool respectively) before joining the University of Maryland at College Park (UMD) in 2006 as an Assistant Professor. In 2012, Herman received tenure and was promoted to Associate Professor. In 2015, Herman was promoted to the rank of Professor at UMD. In October 2015, Herman was awarded an endowed professorship in drug discovery at Purdue University and moved his group to Purdue. Herman's research interests include the chemical biology of bacterial virulence and biofilm formation, novel antibacterial and anticancer agents. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

The Fulbright Experience: ... An Inside Glance

J.D. Mendez, Indiana University- Purdue University Columbus

The Fulbright Program is a cultural exchange program that allows faculty and students to teach and do research in countries all over the world. In this informal presentation, Dr. J.D. Mendez will discuss the program and his experience as a Fulbright Scholar in Estonia. The focus will be on the basics such as how to look up awards but also some common misconceptions. For example, all of the different Fulbright programs are selective but many if not most participants are not from R1 research institutions. Student programs also exist that allow them to work on an independent research program or teach English in a variety of settings. Additionally, working in English is fine for most countries although it doesn’t hurt to try and learn a little of the local language. Come with any questions you may have about this interesting program.

15 Biofuels and Biochemicals: Where are they today?

Irene Reizman, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering; Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology

In the early 2000s, increasing oil prices drove strong investment in companies developing new production routes for biofuels and bulk biochemicals. With changes in the global economy and energy prices, some of the economic pressures for developing alternatives to crude oil have eased today. However, other drivers for innovation are motivating new progress in production of biofuels and biochemicals, whether to reduce carbon dioxide emissions or to provide supplies of chemicals difficult to synthesize from crude oil feedstock. This Hot Topic presentation will provide an overview of the current production routes and markets for biofuel, focusing on the impact on agriculture and industry in Indiana, and will explore new technologies being developed for advanced biofuel production and production of specialty biochemicals. Irene Reizman is an Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. She received her BSE in chemical engineering from the University of Michigan and her PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. During her graduate studies, Dr. Reizman focused on engineering microorganisms for production of value-added chemicals from biomass. In 2014, she was part of the Green Talents program, sponsored by the German Ministry of Education and Research to support research in sustainable development, and served as a visiting researcher in the Institute of Bio- and Geosciences at the Forschungszentrum Juelich. Dr. Reizman’s current interests include engineering education, best practices in undergraduate research, and bioprocess design. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

16 Molecular Mapping of Solid Samples by Mass Spectrometry Imaging: From Plants to Pharmaceuticals

Patrick A. McVey, Ph.D. 1,2,3, Gregory K. Webster4, Katherine-Jo Galayda1,2,5, R.S. Houk1,2 Department of Chemistry, Iowa State University, Ames, IA, USA Ames Laboratory-US Dept. of Energy, Iowa State University, Ames, IA, USA Present address: Department of Chemistry, Marian University, Indianapolis IN USA AbbVie Inc., North Chicago, IL, USA Present address: Kemin Industries Inc., Des Moines, IA, USA

This hot topic will discuss the current state of mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), various ionization sources available for MSI, and our recent work mapping active ingredient crystallization and agglomeration in pharmaceutical tablets by electrospray laser desorption ionization (ELDI) MSI. While separations in the form of chromatography commonly precede detection by mass spectrometry, important spatial information about the distributions of compounds is lost. The spatial distributions of compounds in their natural biological matrices contain important information for the fields of lipidomics, metabolomics, and proteomics. Similarly, biomedical research benefits greatly from accumulation information of drug-uptake in animal tissue. Recently, MSI has emerged as a viable source of spatial distribution data utilizing the sensitivity and versatility of mass spectrometry. Since MSI is a non-targeted technique it is not limited to detection of a single compound of interest but can concurrently provide valuable molecular distribution data for different classes of compounds. This has led to an explosion of applications and ionization mechanisms for MSI in the past decade. Plant metabolomics is one such application, which shows how MSI can benefit an entire field. Our current study applies ELDI-MSI to interrogate tablet formulations for the spatial distributions of ingredients. This is the first application of ELDI for tablet imaging, and the first MSI method to detect agglomeration and diagnose crystallinity in formulations. As crystallinity alters the bioavailability of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) it is important to prevent crystallization in the tablet formulation process. Currently, there is not a reliable analytical method to detect API crystals in the tablet form. ELDI-MSI has demonstrated potential to detect low amounts (<5% drug load) of crystallinity in tablets and has shown agglomeration effects as a direct result of crystalline API. This is at the detection level which the Food and Drug Administration has called on pharmaceutical companies to report.

Patrick A. McVey, assistant professor of chemistry, joined the faculty at Marian University in Indianapolis in 2018. He completed his undergraduate degree at Southwest Baptist University and his doctoral work at Iowa State University and the Ames Laboratory (US-Department of Energy) with a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry under the direction of Dr. R.S. Houk. His research focuses on laser-based mass spectrometry ionization sources for mass spectrometry imaging of biological and pharmaceutical solids. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

17 Fern Identification

Facilitator: Roger Hedge, Ph.D. Division of Nature Preserves, Indiana Department of Natural Resources.

With approximately 80 species in Indiana, ferns are found in a variety of habitats from wetlands to xeric outcrops. These plants are challenging to identify but are important members of plant communities. Geared toward beginners, this workshop is for those who have an interest in fern identification but lack field experience with this group of plants. Basic vocabulary, fern morphology, important field characteristics, and distribution will be addressed for some common Indiana ferns. Please bring a hand lens. This Workshop is closed. …………………………………………………………………………………………….

How to Identify Some Common Indiana Spiders

Facilitator: Marc Milne, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Biology at the University of Indianapolis, with

Emily Stern (student), University of Indianapolis

Spiders are everywhere, including Indiana. They are integral to every Indiana ecosystem, yet information on spiders is sparse, even in North America. Identification of spiders is often the first step to understanding their influence on, and niche within, Indiana habitats. In this workshop for beginners in spider identification, we will explain spider anatomy, important functions of spider parts, and the role of certain structures in identification. We will examine these parts together as a group and, using the latest identification guide to spiders in North America, identify spider specimens that represent the most common spider families in Indiana.

The cost of the workshop is $40. Each participant will receive and keep the latest copy (2nd edition) of Spiders of North America: An Identification Guide at this reduced price. .……………………………………………………………………………………………………
