The performance of the night, which also served as the closing act, was by flutist and music lecturer William Yang, who first performed a heartfelt flute rendition of “All of Me” by John Legend. As it related to what he would discuss later, the performance contained no words but was rather sung by the voice of the flute. Yang described the particular feelings elicited by the flute was due to a concept called tone colors, which are the physical characteristics of certain sounds. He demonstrated the emotions that certain tones can carry with them by playing “Colors of the Wind” from “Pocahontas” and offering that even without the words, one can interpret the song as being about empathy. Indeed, the song would be different if the lyrics were sung but without feeling, with Yang comparing such music with Google Translate merely reciting a list of words. Before performing a flute instrumental of “For Good” from “Wicked,” a song about cherishing the people who both enter and exit your life in parallel to the appreciation one puts into the vocal singing of a song, Yang expressed, “Life is like a song: You can sing it with lyrics or sing it with tone colors to amplify your voice." - Jasmine Yamanaka, The Highlander, UC RiversideArticlehttps://highlandernews.org/28886/tedxucr-amplify-intensifies-atmosphere-stories-empathy-music-bravery/

The inability of the central nervous system (CNS) to regenerate after injury has permanent and widespread consequences for millions of people affected by CNS injury and degenerative diseases. Leading causes of injury include vehicle accidents and sports or violence-related injuries.Research Target 1: Determined the effect of bcl2 on the formation and structure of growth cone. The upregulation of bcl2 enabled the formation of a growth cone with structural similarities to that of developing CNS neurons.Research Target 2: Determined growth cone formed after upregulation of bcl2 had minimal ability to elongate axon and follow environmental cues. A growth cone formed after upregulation of bcl2 was steered by sensing Ca2+ gradients similar to normal growth cone behavior. Methods: translation/pharmacological studies, in vivo/ in vitro models, data analysis/ interpretation, scientific presentations/collaborations, understand innovative analytical methods, and biomedical device engineering.
