DESCRIPTION:What does an embryonic heart feel? How embryonic chickens can h
 elp us understand the role of blood flow in heart development Congenital h
 eart defects are the most common birth defect globally and occur in over 3
 50\,000 live births in the US every year. While we might assume genetics c
 ause most heart defects\, scientists have traced only about a third of con
 genital heart defects to genetic mutations. Instead\, we now understand th
 at physical forces from blood flow shape the embryonic heart\, and that ab
 normal blood flow can lead to heart defects. In this talk\, Dr. Kirsten Gi
 esbrecht will share her work using embryonic chickens to study how embryon
 ic hearts respond when blood flow is altered during heart development\, us
 ing a combination of high-resolution imaging and mathematical tools. Join 
 us on Monday\, November 17th\, from 6:00 to 7:00 PM at the Chapel Hill Pub
 lic Library. We will serve light refreshments during the talk. This event 
 is made possible with the support of UNC Carolina Seminars.
