Partnering with the Unified Support Centre<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Lifelong Learning Program is proud to support the Unified Support Centre and their Emergency Food Hamper program. Food insecurity is a major cause of financial stress and hardship for students at Carleton and the Unified Support Centre works to provide hundreds of baskets to students in need on campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will be collecting non-perishable goods and hygiene products at our Appreciation Day. The USC is constantly in need of the following non-perishable items:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            About the lecturer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            Dr. Argel Aguilar-Valles and his lab are interested in the molecular mechanisms that underlie psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders. They use a combination of biochemistry, molecular biology, neuronal culture, and animal models to understand how genetic risk factors contribute to mental illness. Here are some of the research questions they are investigating:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • How genetic mutations affect brain development to generate neurodevelopmental disorders\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • The molecular and cellular mechanism of action of novel, rapidly-acting antidepressants (ketamine, serotonergic psychedelics, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":113,"featured_media":25545,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_event_type":[],"cu_event_audience":[],"class_list":["post-25393","cu_event","type-cu_event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"cu_event_start_date":"2025-02-07 10:00:00","cu_event_end_date":"2025-02-07 12:00:00","cu_event_location_type":"in-person","cu_event_meeting_address_type":"on-campus","cu_building":"SP","cu_event_meeting_room":"","cu_event_meeting_address_full":null,"cu_event_virtual_type":"tbd","cu_event_virtual_meeting_link":"","cu_post_thumbnail":"coffee","cu_event_cost":"","cu_event_registration":{"title":"","url":"https:\/\/payments.carleton.ca\/lleap\/lleap-appreciation-day\/","target":""},"cu_event_secondary_button":"","cu_event_contact_name":"Lifelong Learning Program","cu_event_email":"lifelonglearning@carleton.ca","cu_event_phone":"613-520-3699"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lifelong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/25393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lifelong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lifelong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lifelong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/113"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lifelong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/25393\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25570,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lifelong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/25393\/revisions\/25570"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lifelong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25545"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lifelong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lifelong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_type?post=25393"},{"taxonomy":"cu_event_audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lifelong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_audience?post=25393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
