We will learn how to distinguish between methodological stra tegies and technological tactics\, i.e. why researchers must first know ho w they want to work with their data before choosing the best tools to do s o (Woolf & Silver\, 2018). We will then discuss the current ‘state of pl ay’ regarding the various genres of AI-assist technologies available to qualitative researchers and how to select the most appropriate platform. W e will then compare and contrast several AI-assist platforms for managing and analyzing qualitative data. Finally\, we will discuss best practices f or how to report the use of AI in research studies (Lester & Paulus\, fort hcoming) and how to reflexively consider the consequences of doing so. Sam ple interview data will be used for the practice exercises. Workshop time will alternative between short lectures and demonstrations\, small group d iscussions\, practical hands-on activities\, and application of principles learned to the participants’ own research studies and data.\n\nRegistra tion and fee are required for Zoom link access.

ANVs are small\, single-stranded cir cular DNA viruses\, characterized by a non-enveloped capsid that have coev olved with humans for millennia. BMVs are plant RNA viruses that are regul arly ingested as part of a human diet and are found in a host of human tis sues beyond the digestive tract. \nANVs and BMVs are both characterized by one single capsid protein that assemble to form capsids. We have leverage d the single protein structure to develop virus-like particles VLPs) as th erapeutic delivery vehicles\, including vector-drug and vector-oligo conju gates. Our VectorBricks™ viral vector platform employs a standard recomb inant capsid protein expression step\, allowing for the purification of ca psid building blocks. These blocks are then used for in vitro assembly to encapsulate payloads in the capsid lumen. Here I report an overview of the AnelloVector® manufacturing process\, focusing on two case studies that improved the productivity of the upstream process and the scale-up of our recombinant capsid protein production process to 50 L scale. These improve ments and the scalability of the capsid production process demonstrate the potential of the VectorBricks™ platform to industrialize manufacturing of therapeutics for targeted medicines. \nBiography:\nAlessandra Mancini\, PhD is a Senior Scientist in Upstream Process Development at Ring Therape utics\, a pre-clinical Flagship Pioneering funded company.

She then completed a two-year postdoctoral training under the Nation al Research Council Research Associateship Program at the Air Force Resear ch Laboratory\, Space Vehicles Directorate at Kirtland AFB. In 2018\, she began her independent career at Mississippi State University in the Depart ment of Chemistry\, where she currently holds the rank of Associate Profes sor.  \nAbout the Seminar\nTitle\nExplorations at the Intersection of Ion ic Liquids and Mass Spectrometry. \nAbstract\nIonic liquids are salts with low melting points and wide liquid ranges\, which are attractive for uses across many different application areas. Whereas they were once considere d remarkably thermally stable\, it has become clear that structure and con ditions affect stability and degradation. Furthermore\, the stability\, wa ter solubility\, increasing use\, and diverse properties based on their di verse structures has led to recent increases in concerns about ionic liqui d species as emerging contaminants. From applications to decomposition pro ducts to detection from various media\, mass spectrometry is well poised t o provide useful insights into this class of compounds. In this talk\, I w ill overview the scholarship of the Patrick Group at Mississippi State Uni versity and focus on my contributions at the intersection of ionic liquids and mass spectrometry. This will cover the study of electrospray-generate d clusters relevant to electrospray spacecraft propulsion modeling\, gas-p hase dissociation patterns and other analytical method development studies \, and thermal decomposition studies by pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

After receiving my B.S. in Chemistry from National Taiwan University\, I moved across the Pacific Ocean for graduate studies at the Scripps Research Inst itute with Professor M. Reza Ghadiri\, where I worked on developing new DN A sequencing technologies and demonstrated that DNA movement at the single molecule level can be spatially and temporally resolved as it threads thr ough a-hemolysin (a protein nanopore). Upon receiving my Ph.D. degree\, I moved to Yale University (2011) to work with Alanna Schepartz and built th e first beta-peptide bundle that binds sugars/polyols. My next stop was Ro ckefeller University (2014)\, where I developed Syn-BNP (synthetic-bioinfo rmatic natural product)\, a culture-independent pipeline for the discovery of bioactive small molecules. \n  \nIn the summer of 2019\, I joined my alma mater\, the Department of Chemistry at National Taiwan University\, a s an assistant professor to start my independent research career. In light of the fact that microorganisms use natural products to communicate with each other and interact with the environment\, I see the study of natural products as a way to understand the chemical language used by microorganis ms\, the most abundant form of life on earth. Currently\, my research enta ils three aspects on natural products: discovery\, chemical synthesis\, an d enzymes responsible for their production.

Across these three books\, A manda Cachia develops what she calls a critical-aesthetic approach to acce ss\, care\, and confinement\, tracing how hospitals\, asylums\, and contem porary art institutions function as overlapping architectures of power\, c reativity\, and resistance. Moving between art history\, disability studie s\, medical humanities\, institutional critique\, and the activist strateg ies of contemporary disability artists\, Cachia shows how access operates as an artistic medium and how care becomes an aesthetic category. By cente ring disability as both method and material\, she proposes an art history that is structurally transformed by the politics and poetics of access\, a nd how pertinent historical artworks and movements can be reconfigured bas ed on a crip revision. \n\n \n\nAmanda Cachia is Professor of Practice in Museum Studies in the School of Art at the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts at Arizona State University and Affiliate Faculty in the Disa bility Studies B.A. Her research interests include disability art history\ , theory and activism\, crip curatorial practices and access aesthetics\, museums\, institutional critique\, and social justice\, and critical disab ility approaches to translation\, movement\, medicine\, and health. Cachia is the author of three books\, Rehabilitating the Asylum: Mental Health J ustice and Contemporary Art\, (forthcoming 2027)\, Hospital Aesthetics: Di sability\, Medicine\, Activism (2025)\, and The Agency of Access: Contempo rary Disability Art and Institutional Critique (2024)\, the latter of whic h was shortlisted for the College Art Association’s 2026 Charles Rufus M orey Book Award. She is also editor of Curating Access: Disability Art Act ivism and Creative Accommodation (2022)\, which includes over 40 internati onal contributors. She is currently working on her fourth book project\, D isability Art: A Political History. Since 2010\, Cachia has organized 20 a rt exhibitions devoted to the work of disabled artists. She is currently d eveloping the major touring exhibition Vital Signs: From Patient to Power with Mid-America Arts Alliance and ExhibitsUSA\, which will be hosted by n umerous galleries across the United States from 2027-2032. Cachia is also a curatorial and disability advisor for a major exhibition being developed about art and disability from the 19th century to the present at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 2028.\n\n \n\nA weeknight or daytime permi t is now required after 5 p.m. on weekdays.
