Why do my hands shake? Carine Maurer, MD, PhD

Movement disorders can be debilitating and significantly impact one’s quality of life. An accurate diagnosis and treatment by a neurologist who specializes in these often challenging and complex disorders is key.

What is a movement disorder? Chuck Mikell, MD Neurosurgeon specializing in movement disorders Co-Director Stony Brook Movement Disorders Center

Dr. Maurer: The term “movement disorder” refers to a brain problem that causes abnormal increased, reduced or slow movements. It can cause your limbs to become stiff and slow or shake, or cause your muscles to contract when you don’t want them to.

Should I be concerned that my hands shake? Dr. Mikell: There are some people whose hands shake a little and it doesn’t get in the way of their ability to do the things they want to do. And there are others whose hands shake so much that they’ve stopped trying to do things like eat soup with a spoon, handwrite letters to loved ones or drink from a cup. If that’s you, you have a problem that should be evaluated by a neurologist who is knowledgeable about movement disorders, because treatment is available.

Are there many types of movement disorders? Dr. Maurer: Yes. Some of the better known movement disorders include: • Parkinson’s disease and other related disorders, which can cause the limbs to shake when the body is at rest, cause stiffness and slowness of movements

and impair balance. These symptoms can make it difficult to walk and engage in daily activities. • Essential tremor, which causes a person’s arms to shake rhythmically when the arms are being used to perform a function. • Dystonia, which causes involuntary twisting or turning movements. These can involve neck muscles, causing the neck to turn in different ways (i.e., cervical dystonia). Other forms of dystonia can cause writer’s cramp, exaggerated blinking or involuntary jaw and mouth movements. • Huntington’s disease, which causes uncontrolled movement of one’s arms, legs, head, face and upper body. It can also cause impaired cognitive abilities and psychiatric conditions.

How are you diagnosed? Dr. Maurer: The first step is to undergo an evaluation by a movement disorders neurologist who is trained to evaluate these complex disorders and knowledgeable about the latest treatments. At Stony Brook, when we meet a person for an initial evaluation, we ask them to perform different tasks like writing, walking across the room, pouring and drinking water, and drawing spirals. From these seemingly simple tasks, we’re able to carefully observe nuances in their movements and make a diagnosis.

What treatments are available? Dr. Mikell: Treatments can range from physical therapy and rehabilitation to medicine such as botulinum toxin injection, and even brain surgery. The treatment depends on establishing

an accurate diagnosis. Anyone who is on medication and still suffering from bothersome symptoms of movement disorders is a candidate for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. It involves placing small wires into the brain and stimulating them with electrical current. This safe and effective procedure gives patients increased mobility, use of their hands and greater independence. Many with Parkinson’s disease and tremor can benefit from DBS.

Why come to Stony Brook? Dr. Maurer: Our expertise is sought out by community neurologists across Long Island to diagnose and treat challenging and complex cases. Our team includes neurologists; neurosurgeons; psychiatrists; neuropsychologists; a social worker; and physical, occupational and speech therapists — all of whom specialize in movement disorders. For example, when a patient experiences challenges behaviorally, cognitively and emotionally that don’t go away after surgery or other medical treatment, we can provide a referral to one of our neuropsychologists who will provide a comprehensive evaluation and make recommendations that are applicable in all major areas of a person’s life.

Sweet wines are meant for after-dinner consumption, right? Well, yes, and no. There are some sweet and some not so, that are served before and even during dinner. In France a sweet Sauternes wine is occasionally served with the main course ‘A glass of wine is a great and in Italy a chilled refreshment after a hard glass of sparkling Asti day’s work.’ is perfect with light and − Ludwig Van Beethoven, 1770–1827, German composer mild appetizers. Sweet wines can loosely be defined as wines having noticeable sugar, which is detected in the front of the mouth or tip of the tongue. Sweet wines can be relatively light in body compared to others that are fuller in the mouth with a syrupy rich, fat and lush taste with an almost oily texture. Although there is no legal definition for a sweet wine, it’s generally accepted that wines with over 2 percent sugar are considered sweet. Sweet wines are made in every country and there are many methods used to make these delicious, luscious wines. The most common methods are: Dried Grapes: Partially drying grapes after harvest; shriveling berries prior to fermentation. The drying can be in the sun on straw mats or in special rooms, which control humidity. Most European cultures maintain some tradition of partially drying grapes. Examples are Amarone della Valpolicella, vin santo, Sforzato di Valtellina and Valpolicella Ripasso.

Late-Harvested Grapes: Grapes left on the vine so natural dehydration concentrates sugars. Examples are Spätlese, Auslese and wines labeled “late-harvest.” Botrytis-Affected Grapes: In humid climates, grapes destined for sweet wines may be attacked by a beneficial mold, Botrytis cinerea, which dehydrates the grape and concentrates sugars. Examples are Barsac, Sauternes, Beerenauslese, Tokaji, Bonnezeaux, Cadillac, Monbazillac and Quarts de Chaume. Frozen Grapes: Grapes are literally frozen, on or off the vine to decrease water content and increase sugar. Examples are Eiswein and ice wine. Stopping Fermentation: Adding brandy to the grape juice, fermenting wine or postfermentation. Examples are port, sherry, Madeira, Marsala, Banyuls and Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise. Foods that pair with sweet wines are almonds, pistachio, cannoli, cheesecake, chocolate, custards, dried fruits, panettone, pastries, pies, puddings, sorbet, tiramisu and zabaglione, to name but a few. You can even pour sweet wine over ice cream. Sweet desserts need sweet wines, so choose a dessert that is not sweeter than the wine or the wine will taste dry, thin, bitter and less flavorful. Serve sweet wines cold but not overchilled to get the most flavor from them.

HELPING YOU NAVIGATE TO OPTIMAL HEALTH

David Dunaief, M.D. Integrative Medicine

• A Whole Body Approach • Reversing, Preventing & Treating Chronic Disease and Managing Weight by Connecting Conventional Medicine with Lifestyle Modifications Our Philosophy is simple. We believe wellness is derived through nutritional medicine and lifestyle interventions that prevent and treat chronic diseases. Medications have their place - and in some cases can be lifesaving. However, there’s no medication without side effects. The goal should be to limit the need for medications - or minimize the number of medications you take on a regular basis. You are not limited by your genes. Fortunately, most diseases are based primarily on epigenetics, which are environmental influences, and not on genetics. Epigenetics literally means above or around the gene. In epigenetics, lifestyle choices impact gene expression. Just because your first degree relatives may have had a disease, you are not predestined to follow suit. We are specialists who will partner with your primary care physician. A standard medical education does not integrate enough nutritional medicine and other lifestyle interventions. We bridge that gap.

We use evidence-based medicine to guide our decision-making. The amount of research related to nutrition and other lifestyle issues continues to grow rapidly, with many studies showing significant beneficial effects on health. We treat each patient as an individual. We will work with you to develop a plan that allows you to take a proactive role in managing your own health. The health outcomes are worth the effort. Is disease reversal possible? Absolutely! Study evidence has found this to be true, and many of our patients have experienced reversal of diabetes, autoimmune disorders, migraines, and cardiovascular disease, just to mention a few. In many cases, because of their exceptional results, our patients have been able to reduce or eliminate their medications. Read more common questions and answers on medicalcompassmd.com. Dr. Dunaief has written over 2,000 medical research articles that have been published in Times Beacon Record Newspapers.

Libraries participate in the Great Give Back

NEWS AROUND TOWN

BY LEAH CHIAPPINO Local libraries are setting aside time this weekend to focus on community, service, and volunteerism. On Saturday, Oct. 19, over 160 libraries throughout New York State are participating in the 3rd annual Great Give Back, a program started by the Suffolk County Public Library Directors Association and the Suffolk Cooperative Library System in 2017. It expanded to Nassau County in 2018, before turning into a statewide initiative this year. Each library selects its own service projects, from medicine disposal initiatives to crocheting mice for local animal shelters. Lisa DeVerna, head of public relations at Emma S. Clark Memorial Library in Setauket, praised the initiative. “All libraries do these types of activities throughout the year. But I love the idea that on one day, ALL of the libraries have community service events,” she said. “It’s a celebration of giving back.

Comsewogue Public Library adds monthly sensory-friendly film screenings

BY MELISSA ARNOLD Enjoying a movie can be a great way for the entire family to spend some quality time together. But for people who are especially sensitive to light or sound, the experience can be difficult to handle, if not impossible. At Comsewogue Public Library in Port Jefferson Station, the staff wants to ensure no one is excluded from its programs because of a lack of accessibility. Thanks to a suggestion from a visitor, the library now offers sensoryfriendly movie opportunities once a month that are open to all. “We’ve always tried to really listen to the community about the needs that they have, and this was something we’d been looking to do for a while,” said Lori Holtz, head of adult services for the Comsewogue Public Library. “We see very regular attendance for this program, which shows us that people are really enjoying the experience.” Earlier this year, an employee from a local group home for adults approached the library suggesting they try offering sensory-friendly movie screenings, said adult services librarian Christine Parker-Morales, who added that the program has been well-received and is continuing to expand.

A sensory-friendly screening of Beetlejuice was held at the library in September. Photo courtesy of Warner Bros.

According to the STAR Institute for Sensory Processing Disorders (SPD), at least 1 in 20 adults in the general population may be affected by SPD. For people with these disorders, any kind of sensory stimuli — bright lights or darkness, loud sounds, intense smells, certain clothing textures — can be overwhelming, confusing or disturbing. Setting up a sensory-friendly movie is a

simple process, said Danielle Minard, the library’s outreach librarian. All that’s needed is a bit of extra planning by leaving the lights on, lowering the sound, adding captions and providing advance information about the movie’s storyline and elements. “We try to show films that are fairly current,” Minard added. “We began the program this past March with Inside Out and since then, we’ve shown

Veterans memorial in Stony Brook receives makeover

In 1946 Ward Melville designated a plot of land on Main Street, right beyond the Stony Brook Village Center, to honor veterans of foreign wars. Michael Bernstein, provost and senior VP for academic affairs at Stony Brook University; Judy Greiman, senior VP, government and community relations/ chief deputy to the president at Stony Brook University; Gloria Rocchio, president of The Ward Melville Heritage Organization; and Chris Graf, owner of Stonegate Landscape recently met at the site to review the results of recent efforts to refurbish the area in preparation for Veterans Day. The area has been renovated several times over the years and recently needed additional work. Graf stepped up to take care of this project, gratis, installing another boulder and new plantings, updating the area to the state it was in when first created in 1946. WMHO, along with Stony Brook University, partnered together and paid for an additional plaque as well as a bluestone marker.

MOVIE REVIEW

‘The Addams Family’ reboot is creepy, kooky but lacks the spooky and ooky

BY JEFFREY SANZEL Charles Addams’ delightfully macabre cartoons of the bizarre Addams band first appeared in The New Yorker in 1938. In the subsequent 50 years, this satirical inversion of the nuclear family was featured in dozens of single-panel drawings. In 1964, the live-action series premiered on ABC and was welcomed into American households for two seasons. This was followed by two animated series as well as several reunion specials. The franchise was successfully rebooted in 1991 with The Addams Family and the even better sequel Addams Family Values (1993). In 2008, the family got the full Broadway treatment with a musical that has lived on in regional and high school theaters across the country. The first family of Halloween has been seen in everything from board games to drink coasters. Nearly 10 years ago, there was news of a Tim Burton stop-motion Addams family to be produced by Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment. However, in 2013, MGM acquired the rights and it is this version that has now been produced as a 3-D animated comedy. Conrad Vernon directs a predictable screenplay by Matt Lieberman and Pamela Pettler. It is a shame that Burton was not able to realize his vision. Given his work — particularly The

The Addams Family returns to the big screen in time for Halloween.

Nightmare Before Christmas — the result would most likely have been more satisfying. The plot focuses on the threat of the family being pushed out of its haunted mansion by a devious T.V. home renovation host, Margaux Needler, who is building a model community, Assimilation. In addition, son Pugsley will be having his Mazurka celebration (think bar mitzvah with swords) and the entire clan is expected to descend upon the family. Daughter Wednesday becomes curious about the outside world and befriends Needler’s daughter, whom she leads into rebellion.

While these elements could add up to a terrific satire, it never quite transcends its literalness. There is a pedestrian feel to the constantly repeated theme of all-people-just-want-to-beaccepted-for-who-they-are. Visually, it looks closer to the Saturday morning cartoons, and some of the more famous lines are wedged into the dialogue. In the end, there is something flat and uninspired in the result: The film is less Addams family than it is Hotel Transylvania. One has the sense that the creators were hedging their bets and played it safe with a child-centric film, leaving little for the adult audience. While there

are nods to the Addams canon, it never feels like it enters that weird, wonderful world. There is a wealth of voice talent, with some utilized better than others. Charlize Theron captures Morticia Addams’ low notes with a fittingly languid affectation. Oscar Issac is a nice compliment as the excitable Gomez. The children are well-realized by an appropriately affectless Chloë Grace Moretz as Wednesday and Finn Wolfhard as the pugnacious Pugsley. Nick Kroll makes an amusing if one-note Uncle Fester. Sadly, Bette Midler is not given enough to do as Grandmama. Other voices include Snoop Dogg (Cousin Itt), Martin Short (Grandpa Frump), Catherine O’Hara (Grandma Frump), Tituss Burgess (Margaux’s agent) and Jenifer Lewis (Great Auntie Sloom). Allison Janney makes the most of the villainous Margaux Needler but there’s almost no opportunity for variety. The highlight of the film comes at the end, when the television show’s opening sequence is recreated, Vic Mizzy theme song and all. In its own way, the movie is child-friendly creepy and methodically kooky but with little mystery and certainly not spooky. Ultimately, what’s lacking is what makes the Addams family unique: One is left asking, “Where’s the ooky?” Rated PG, The Addams Family is now playing in local theaters.

ARTIST OF THE MONTH

Gary Garrett

BY IRENE RUDDOCK Huntington resident Gary Garrett, who is presently exhibiting his sculptures at the Reboli Center for Art and History until the end of October, studied advertising, art and design at SUNY Farmingdale. Having worked in various advertising industries in New York City for ﬁve years, he found that he was no longer inspired by that world, so he decided to pursue his family’s used auto parts business. While working in this industry, he recycled automotive parts to remake into the sculptures that he exhibits today. His exhibitions include Huntington Gallery, Long Island University Gallery, Mather Hospital, Reboli Center, the Salmagundi Club, the Long Island Professional Sculpture Shows and the Huntington Art League Gallery.

Your signature piece, Who Let the Dog’s Out? is on exhibit at the Reboli Center for Art and History. What was your inspiration?

After I saw Norman Rockwell’s painting of parents and kids going on vacation called “Coming and Going,” I was inspired to replace that vision with a depiction of a mother dog and her puppies eagerly going on vacation.

What materials did you use for this?

For this sculpture, I used 1948 Dodge doors that I found in the junkyard — the only “found object” in this sculpture. All the rest were sculpted by me with metal, even the eyes, hair and tongue. I tried to make the hair look as though it was bent in the wind and one of dogs eyes making contact with the viewer. I wanted all of it look as though it was moving. See more of the artist’s work at

www.tbrnewsmedia.com.

What other materials do you use to create your sculptures?

I ﬁnd components for my artwork at garage sales, farm auctions and auto salvage yards. I like to give new life to old tools, industrial gears, car parts and farm equipment incorporating them to create welded assemblages that tell a whimsical story.

How does recycling of materials represent your view of society?

I think it is important to save and use items from our “throw-away” society. The “found objects” that I use were made to last and I appreciate that aspect.

What has been your most rewarding experience?

I was thrilled to show at the prestigious Salmagundi Art Club in New York City! They showed my sculptor of President Trump on the cover of a Fifth Avenue billboard. It is a humorous piece that can be interpreted many different ways. That was thrilling!

You choose to represent your art showing the humorous side of life. Why do you think that is?

I have always been a storyteller to my family, friends and children. I try to take ordinary experiences from every day life that we take for granted to ﬁnd the humorous side of it. We need to take time to laugh.

Are there artists whom you particularly admire?

I admire Norman Rockwell, Al Hirschﬁeld and Shel Silverstein. Each saw the humor in everyday life. For instance, I love Silverstein’s book about a child who befriends a tree. I like Rockwell’s painting of all the ethnic groups working together. That one painting tells the story of how our immigration system made America.

What are your future plans for your sculpture?

I will be exhibiting at Deepwells Mansion in the spring. My plan is to keep doing art whenever I become inspired. I don’t know where an idea will come from next, but I am always open to it. I would also love one of my pieces to be part of a permanent collection at a children’s hospital so it could bring joy to many children. I can always be contacted at garygarett55@ gmail.com or at 516-557-6990.

I try to create art that will make the viewer smile – a cartoon in metal that tells a story.’ — Gary Garret

alling leaves in hues of red, yellow and purple; hot apple cider; pumpkins in all shapes and sizes; and a brisk chill in the air are sure signs October is here. October also means the return of the Huntington Arts Council’s annual student exhibit, Nightmare on Main Street, a Halloween-inspired juried art show for Nassau and Suffolk counties students in grades 6 to 12. The 8th annual show runs from Oct. 18 to Nov. 16. “We celebrate by turning ourselves into whatever and whoever we’d like to be on October 31st. Scary, silly, creepy or beautiful, what would you want to transform yourself into during this time of year?” was the question our juror Stephanie Buscema posed as inspiration. Working professionally for the past 15 years on a variety of projects, from publishing to textile design, Buscema is a painter, illustrator and designer in Huntington. Alongside work assignments, she owns a small business, Kitschy Witch Designs, creating whimsical textile prints and designing vintage inspired clothing and accessories. Over 110 pieces of artwork were submitted this year, an increase of 34 percent over last year. Of those entries, 48 students were selected as finalists this year including Joseph Apat, Mia Bacchi, Kaia Beatty, Nathaly Benavides, Nia Burke, Connie Choi, Shannon Cooper, Julia Crapanzano, Gilana Etame, Josie Fasolino, Alysse Fazal, Rachel Ferrara, Sophie Fyfe, Julia

We are proud to incorporate shows specifically targeting young talent and the community loves to show its support,” he said. The Huntington Arts Council will present Nightmare on Main Street at its Main Street Gallery, 213 Main St., Huntington from Oct. 18 through Nov. 16. In celebration of the exhibit, a costume party reception will be held at the gallery on Friday, Oct. 25 from 6 to 8 p.m. Refreshments will be served.

Museum Seeks Perfect Holiday Tree

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Huntington High School senior Alexa Helburn presented a check to the HuntingtonOyster Bay Audubon Society during her fourth and final photography exhibition at Cold Spring Harbor on Oct. 10. The funds, raised over the last year and a half, will benefit the Mayan Girls Scholarship Fund created by Helburn that supports Mayan girls in Guatemala to stay in school and continue their education where they learn about sustainable farming and conservation.

Since 1987, the Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum in Centerport has placed a very large tree in the Mansion Courtyard and decorated it for the holidays. Every year they’ve invited the community to join them on the Saturday after Thanksgiving to light the tree and inaugurate the holiday season. It’s a very popular, free community event that draws several hundred people every year. For many years, the museum was able to harvest large pines and spruces from the wooded areas of the 43-acre Vanderbilt estate. This fall, the Vanderbilt is looking for a local family that can donate one of its own trees for this year’s celebration. It must be local, from family property and from 20 to 25 feet high. Vanderbilt staff will cut down the tree and transport it to the museum on or about Nov. 20. The Vanderbilt will acknowledge the gift with a sign next to the tree and will publicize the donation to the media, along with other museum holiday events and programs. Contact Jim Munson, the Vanderbilt Museum’s operations supervisor at jim@ vanderbiltmuseum.org for more info.

LOCAL SQUASH, BROCCOLI & CAULIFLOWER!

COOKING COVE

Autumn Pastas Showcase Autumn Veggies BY BARBARA BELTRAMI Pasta sauces are just as seasonal as other foods. Summer’s over. No more basil pestos or fresh tomatoes, zucchinis and eggplants. Now it’s time for hearty sauces featuring cold weather veggies like broccoli rabe, cauliflower and winter squash paired with beans, nuts and sausage. These are not your traditional tomato-based sauces, but they are full of flavor and texture and protein. They’re the kinds of sauces you usually find only in upscale Italian restaurants and are a whole lot easier to put together than you would think, so give them a try.

Orecchiette with Broccoli Rabe and Cannellini

YIELD: Makes 6 servings. INGREDIENTS: • 1 large bunch broccoli rabe • ½ cup olive oil • 3 garlic cloves, minced • ½ cup chicken broth • 1 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste • One 14-ounce can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed • 1 pound orecchiette pasta • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese DIRECTIONS:

Rinse and trim broccoli rabe. Remove coarse outer leaves and tough parts of stems, then chop into bite-size pieces, taking care to leave florets intact. In a large skillet over moderate heat combine oil, garlic and broccoli rabe; saute garlic and broccoli rabe until garlic is light golden. Add broth, pepper flakes and salt and pepper, partially cover and cook over moderate heat, about 5 minutes. Add beans and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until broccoli rabe is tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large pot of salted water, cook orecchiette according to package directions, drain and transfer to a large serving bowl, toss with broccoli rabe mixture, then sprinkle with grated cheese. Serve immediately with a dry robust white wine.

Preheat oven to 450 F. Place squash on a baking sheet and roast until flesh is very soft, about 45 minutes to one hour. Meanwhile put a pot of salted water on to boil; cook pasta according to package directions; set aside to keep warm. With a serrated spoon scrape out flesh from squash skin; puree in food processor with half the butter until very smooth. Add salt and pepper and stir to thoroughly work in; set aside to keep warm. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt remaining butter; continue cooking until foam subsides and butter starts to brown, about 3 to 5 minutes.

BOOK REVIEW

Family through the prism of stained glass Claire Nicolas White’s Five Generations Painting With Light Reviewed by Jeffrey Sanzel

Above, the St. James author with her latest book. Photo by Heidi Sutton

laire Nicolas White shares her family’s journey in the art of stained glass in her very engaging Five Generations Painting With Light. The book opens with a crisply written introduction followed by a succinct and informative history of stained glass. White’s eloquent prose defines her connection in a sharp parallel to the compositions that are to be explored: “Mine is a strange inheritance, transparent, ablaze with light in all colors, breakable, but precious.” The history details the materials, construction and sites of the pieces as well as the fact that the creation of stained glass today is much the same as it was over a thousand years ago. The nobility as well as the dangers of the trade are also touched upon. The intersection of necessity, art, folklore and fantasy are at its heart. It should be remembered that the windows often served as a method of ecclesiastical communication, telling biblical stories and imparting scriptural themes. From there, White traces her family history, beginning with her Dutch greatgrandfather, artist François Nicolas. His son Charles Nicolas then focused on the

business aspects and managing the Nicolas glass studio. White’s father, Joep Nicolas, first rebelled from the family business, but, after studying philosophy and art history, he found that “painting with light remained irresistible.” Joep married Suzanne, an artist with similar if complementary tastes. Joep was highly successful and his work could be seen not just in churches but in assorted businesses and educational institutions, — “square miles of glass.” White and her sister, Sylvia, were born in northern Holland but, with the advent of Hitler, Joep moved his family to the United States. It was here that White and Sylvia learned their father’s skill: “I won’t leave you a fortune, but I will have taught you a profession.” Sylvia continued in the work while White found a career as a writer and art critic, publishing everything from poetry to fiction to biography. After leaving the world of graphic design, Sylvia’s son, Diego Semprun Nicolas, took up the family mantle, completing the five generations. Throughout, White paints a clear picture of her family, plentiful in detail and event. She manages to evoke their personalities in quick, vivid strokes. The descriptions are colorful and

entertaining, revealing the highs and lows, the conflicts and the triumphs. In addition, White has wonderful insight into the history of art and the artistic temperament. She discusses her father’s seeing his work in musical terms, a strong and vivid metaphor. She quotes her sister’s approach to art as a whole: “Glass is great … but I need to tell tales, religious tales, but also legends, myths. The iconography is inspiring. Life is like a tapestry. You’re influenced by what you’re exposed to and use what you need.” The book is beautifully enhanced by the many photos of stained glass. It is a delight to see the evolution of the artists through their works and from generation to generation. As Joep stated: “Whoever has been given the spirit, the will, the talent, let him tackle this art form; glass is a willing substance that God had not for nothing allowed us to discover.” Claire Nicolas White has given us an absorbing glimpse into this world of unusual masterpieces.

Claire Nicolas White is an acclaimed American poet, novelist and translator of Dutch literature. She is the granddaughter-in-law of architect Stanford White. Her sister, Sylvia Nicolas, designed and installed all the stained glass in Sts. Philip and James R.C. Church in St. James. Meet the author at a Master Class at the Ward Melville Heritage Organization’s Educational & Cultural Center, 97P Main St., Stony Brook as she discusses her latest book, ‘Five Generations Painting with Light’ on Oct. 23 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. The event is free and refreshments will be served.

KNOWLEDGE SEEKERS

CSHL’s Peter Koo Tackles Deep Learning Harnessing the Technology of our Research Giants

SPOTLIGHTING DISCOVERIES AT (1) COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB (2) STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY & (3) BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LAB

‘Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is one of those amazing places for biological research.’

— Peter Koo

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF We built a process that works, but we don’t know why. That’s what one of the newest additions to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory hopes to find out. Researchers have applied artificial intelligence in many areas in biology and health care. These systems are making useful predictions for the tasks they are trained to perform. Artificial intelligence, however, is mostly a hands-off process. After these systems receive training for a particular task, they learn patterns on their own that help them make predictions. How these machines learn, however, has become as much of a black box as the human brains that created these learning programs in the first place. Deep learning is a way to build hierarchical representations of data, explained Peter Koo, an assistant professor at the Simons Center for Quantitative Biology at CSHL, who studies the way each layer transforms data and the next layer builds upon this in a hierarchical manner. Koo, who earned his doctorate at Yale University and performed his postdoctoral research at Harvard University, would like to understand exactly what the machines we created are learning and how they are coming up with their conclusions. “We don’t understand why [these artificial intelligence programs] are making their predictions,” Koo said. “My postdoctoral research and future research will continue this line of work.” Koo is not only interested in applying deep learning to biological problems to do better, but he’s also hoping to extract out what knowledge these machines learn

from the data sets to understand why they are performing better than some of the traditional methods. “How do we guide black box models to learn biologically meaningful” information? he asked. “If you have a data set and you have a predictive model that predicts the data well, you assume it must have learned something biologically meaningful,” he suggested. “It turns out, that’s not always the case.” Deep learning can pick up other trends or links in the data that might not be biologically meaningful. In a simplistic example, an artiﬁcial intelligence weather system that tracked rain patterns during the spring might conclude, after seven rainy Tuesdays, that it rains on Tuesdays, even if the day of the week and the rain don’t have a causative link. “If the model is trained with limited data that is not representative, it can easily learn patterns that are correlative in the training data,” Koo said. He tries to combat this in practice by holding out some data, which is called validating data. Scientists use it to evaluate how well the model generalizes to new data. Koo plans to collaborate with numerous biologists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, as well as other quantitative biologists, like assistant professors Justin Kenney and David McCandlish. In an email, Kenney explained that the Simons Center is “very interested in moving into this area, which is starting to have a major impact on biology just as it has in the technology industry.” The quantitative team is interested in high-throughput data sets that link sequence to function, which includes assays for protein binding, gene expression, protein function and a host of others. Koo

plans to take a “top down” approach to interpret what the models have learned. The benefit of this perspective is that it doesn’t set any biases in the models. Deep learning, Koo suggested, is a rebranding of artificial neural networks. Researchers create a network of simple computational units and collectively they become a powerful tool to approximate functions. A physicist by training, Koo taught himself his expertise in deep learning, Kenney wrote in an email. “He thinks far more deeply about problems than I suspect most researchers in this area do,” he wrote. Kenney is moving in this area himself as well, because he sees a close connection between the problem of how artificial intelligence algorithms learn to do things and how biological systems mechanistically work. While plenty of researchers are engaged in the field of artificial intelligence, interpretable deep learning, which is where Koo has decided to make his mark, is a considerably smaller field. “People don’t trust it yet,” Koo said. “They are black box models and people don’t understand the inner workings of them.” These systems learn some way to relate input function to output predictions, but scientists don’t know what function they have learned. Koo chose to come to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in part because he was impressed with the

questions and discussions during the interview process. He started his research career in experimental physics. As an undergraduate, he worked in a condensed matter lab of John Clarke at the University of California at Berkeley. He transitioned to genomics, in part because he saw a huge revolution in next-generation sequencing. He hopes to leverage what he has learned to make an impact toward precision medicine. Biological researchers were sequencing all kinds of cancers and were trying to make an impact toward precision medicine. “To me, that’s a big draw,” Koo said, “to make contributions here.” A resident of Jericho, Koo lives with his wife, Soohyun Cho, and their 6-year-old daughter Evie and their 4-year old-daughter Yeonu. Born and raised in the Los Angeles area, he joined the Army Reserves after high school, attended community college and then transferred to UC Berkeley to get his bachelor’s degree in physics. As for his decision to join Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Koo said he is excited with the opportunity to combine his approach to his work with the depth of research in other areas. “Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is one of those amazing places for biological research,” Koo said. “What brought me here is the quantitative biology program. It’s a pretty new program” that has “incredibly deep thinkers.”

Horoscopes of the week LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Resist the temptation to push other people’s buttons, Libra. You catch more flies with honey, so take a step back and give others a chance to share their opinions. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 There are some moments when you will feel strongly about big changes on the horizon, Scorpio. This is a week when you will have a clear view of your future goals. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, after a few days of idle coasting, you may get a boost of energy to tackle new things. Others may be amazed at the change. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, this week you may be influenced by someone with a strong personality. Unless you stand behind what this person is offering, do not be swayed by the hard sell. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 You have a tendency to go about your routines with less enthusiasm than in the past, Aquarius. You just may need some new scenery to briefly get you inspired. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 This week may be fairly eventful, Pisces. You may finally address an issue that has been affecting your domestic life. ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, the week ahead is a busy one. You may have a speech to deliver or a private performance to put on and that will focus all eyes on you. Rest up while you can. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, don’t schedule any extra activities this week because your schedule is full. Family life also will demand a great deal from you. Make a list of things to do and get started. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, slow down and invite a friend over for a cup of coffee or a drink after work. You have to get back to some social occasions, or you can run yourself ragged. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, this week you may feel the need to exert some physical energy. If you have a gym membership, spend several hours working up a sweat. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, stop focusing on things that are beyond your control right now and zero in on the ones that you can tend to. You will quickly see how much control you really have. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you are in the process of widening your field of possibilities. Right now traveling far distances could be on your mind. Make it happen.

6:30 p.m. 6:30 p.m. 2 p.m.

Redshirt freshman RB Ty Son Lawton (Staten Island) rushed for a career-high 124 yards and one touchdown for the Stony Brook football team on Oct. 12, but the Seawolves fell, 20-14, to visiting New Hampshire in a CAA Football contest at Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium. Graduate transfer WR Jean Constant (Delay Beach, Fla.) also scored for the Seawolves (43, 1-2 CAA Football) to mark his ﬁfth straight

game with a receiving touchdown. UNH (4-2, 3-0 CAA Football) moved into a tie for ﬁrst place in the league with its fourth straight victory. The team is off this week before hitting the road for back-to-back CAA Football contests at Villanova on Oct. 26 and at Richmond on Nov. 2. Don’t miss your chance to catch the Seawolves in action when they return to LaValle Stadium on Nov. 9 to face Towson at 2 p.m.

After falling to the UAlbany Great Danes in five sets on Oct. 11 (25-22, 19-25, 25-22, 19-25, 18-20), the Stony Brook volleyball team bounced back in a huge way on Oct. 13, a earning a three-set sweep of America East opponent UMBC at Pritchard Gym (25-20, 25-22, 25-23). The sweep was ultimately the fruition of a total team effort as five Seawolves tallied five or more kills. With the victory, Stony Brook now improves to 7-12 on the season and 2-2 in conference action. “I’m proud of our group for bouncing back and staying focused defensively today,” said head coach Kristin Belzung. “I thought we had opportunities to be in a better rhythm offensively but our defensive effort allowed us to compete. We are excited for a little extra training time this week before heading back on the road to New Hampshire next weekend.” Senior Kendra Harlow (St. James) led the offensive attack with 14 kills, classmate Jordan Gels (Lewis Center, Ohio) was second for Stony Brook with nine. Fellow senior LeAnne Sakowicz (Wauconda, Ill.) tallied 38 assists and added in seven digs. Redshirt freshman Nia Wattley (Dallas, Texas) was big in the front row for the Seawolves, notching two solo blocks and two block assists along with six kills. Up next, the team heads back on the road this weekend, traveling to New Hampshire for a Sunday afternoon match at 1 p.m. and return home to Pritchard Gym on Fri, Oct. 25 at 6:30 p.m.
