SUMMARY:A sea of symbionts\, viruses\, and pathogens: a journey across scale
DESCRIPTION:Speaker\nDr. Andrian “Adi” Gajigan\nPostdoctoral Fellow\, Cornell University\nVisiting Researcher\, UP Marine Science Institute \nAbstract\nThe ocean holds immense diversity\, from charismatic megafauna to microscopic life. Microbes (e.g.\, plankton\, bacteria and viruses) may be the least visible\, but they dominate the ocean and are central to the structure and function of marine ecosystems. In this seminar\, I will introduce our studies of marine “giant” viruses that infect phytoplankton\, as well as our bacterial and viral surveys of a seaweed ice-ice disease (IID). Marine giant viruses in the phylum Nucleocytoviricota are obligate phytoplankton symbionts with comparable size to bacteria. Beyond their large size\, they encode an unusually high number of auxiliary metabolic genes. I will present our discovery of PelV-1 (FloV-SA3)\, which has a micron-long tail that likely mature independently of its host. We then extend our investigations from lab-based model systems to natural environment\, examining the associations between giant viruses and harmful algal bloom dynamics. Finally\, I will discuss an ongoing project on the complex interplay between environmental factors and sym-/dysbiosis in seaweed IID. Marine diseases are often convoluted phenomena and require disentangling environmentally driven from pathogen-driven disease. Collectively\, these studies illustrate the multiple scales at which microbes and viruses exert their influence\, from the microscale to the organismal level to entire marine ecosystems. \nBiography\nAndrian “Adi” Gajigan is a biological oceanographer whose research focuses on plankton ecology\, marine virology\, and marine diseases. Currently\, he is a Cornell Atkinson Postdoctoral Fellow at Cornell University\, Ithaca\, NY\, and a Balik Scientist (Visiting Researcher) at the University of the Philippines (UP) Marine Science Institute. Adi earned a PhD Oceanography from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and an MS Marine Science and BS Biochemistry from the University of the Philippines. His work has been recognized with grants from the National Geographic Society and the US DOE Joint Genome Institute\, among others. His scientific path has taken him across the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans\, participating in numerous oceanographic expeditions to study marine life from sunlit surface waters down to the deep sea. Today\, Adi continues to investigate how marine organisms develop diseases in response to climate change and human pressures\, with the hope that clearer knowledge of these unseen systems can help guide more resilient futures for our oceans.

SUMMARY:Palace
DESCRIPTION:Palace have been making music together for over a decade. What started out as carefree jam sessions between Leo Wyndham\, Rupert Turner and Matt Hodges in an airless studio in North London established a DIY ethos that remains intrinsic to the spirit of the band to this day. \nIn early 2025\, Palace took a career leap releasing the Greyhound EP on their own label\, Palace Presents – a collective they’d started in 2016 as a monthly night at The George Tavern in East London\, which had quietly grown into something more intentional. A positive and protected space as Leo described it\, away from the usual constraints of the music industry. \n“Kid” was released in April 2026\, together with the announcement of a 30-date tour of the USA and Canada in the Fall of 2026\, culminating in a show at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. \n“Kid is about longing for a child an ocean away. It’s the ache we feel for our people when we’re separated from them. It doesn’t feel like a sadness or heaviness\, but more an affirmation of that love\, a primal release sung into the sunset as the road flies by.” \nJoin us for Palace’s Chan Centre debut and experience their immersive sound brought to life on our stage.
