SUMMARY:Exhibition:From Trace to Text: Highlights from the U-M Papyrus Collection
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit provides a behind-the-scenes look at the work of papyrologists: how they conserve scraps of often badly damaged papyri\, decipher traces of ink\, read and translate the resulting text\, edit and interpret its contents\, and make this available to both scholars and the general public. Modern technology\, such as digitization and multi-spectral imaging\, is aiding papyrologists in all of these efforts.\n\nTexts on display are some of the highlights of the collection. They include a wonderful drawing of an elephant\, a letter from a newly enlisted soldier to his mother\, and\, of course\, some pages of the oldest manuscript with letters of St. Paul (one of the most famous texts of the collection).\n\nIn its 90-year history\, the University of Michigan Papyrus Collection has trained more students and scholars in the field of papyrology than any other institution in North America. Founded by the visionary Francis W. Kelsey\, the Papyrus Collection has been the training ground for papyrologists from around the world and home to many great resident scholars\, such as Herbert and Louise Youtie\, Ludwig Koenen\, and Traianos Gagos\, who died on April 26\, 2010.\n\nPapyrology is the field of scholarship that deciphers and studies the texts written –primarily on papyrus– by people living in the ancient Mediterranean world between 2\,500 BCE and 1\,000 CE. Most of these texts are found in Egypt where the climate is dry enough to preserve this fragile material. It is a highly specialized and technical field\, requiring intensive training in language (Egyptian\, ancient Greek\, Latin\, Arabic)\, history\, and the unique set of skills necessary for reading original documents.\n\nThe exhibit is open during Audubon Room hours: Sun 1-7pm\, Mon-Fri 8:30-7pm\, Sat 10am-6pm.\n\nThis Exhibit is in Honor of Traianos Gagos (1960-2010).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lecture on the Weather
DESCRIPTION:This multi-media stage work by John Cage\, based on the texts of Henry David Thoreau\, brings together speech\, music\, film\, lighting\, and a weather soundscape to form a softly political piece as relevant today as the year it was written. \n\nCage (1912-1992) was well known as an experimental composer\, philosopher\, writer\, and visual artist. A protean figure of the postwar avant-garde\, Cage collaborated with Merce Cunningham and visual artists including Joseph Beuys\, Robert Rauschenberg\, and Nam June Paik.\n\nExhibit celebration is Nov. 3\, 5-7pm\, in the gallery.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Affinity of Form
DESCRIPTION:A photography exhibition by Stanford Lipsey will open on Thursday\, October 7 and  will run through Tuesday\, November 2\, 2010. The exhibition of 45 digital images\,  titled “Affinity of Form” (which also is the title of his recently published book)\, uses  the juxtaposition of photographs to build a comparative concept within a set of two  images. Lipsey graduated from the University of Michigan in 1948 with a degree in  economics and while a student here he was a photographer for the Michigan Daily  and Photography Editor for the Michiganensian.  The Student Publications Building  was named for Stanford Lipsey in 2005.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Special Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The influenza virus infects approximately 500 million individuals each year. Owing to its RNA makeup\, influenza mutates extremely rapidly\, allowing the virus population to evade the pressure of the human immune system. A single individual may be infected year after year by antigenically distinct strains. The timescale of influenza evolution is consequently a human timescale - we get the chance to observe the process of evolution in action. And yet\, a time series of sequence data is hardly interpretable on its own.  In this talk\, I show how placing sequence data in a phylogenetic context can uncover otherwise-hidden patterns of biological importance. Using flexible Bayesian statistical models\, I address pressing questions of the global circulation and antigenic evolution of the influenza virus. In these analyses I use the virus population's phylogenetic tree as a foundation on which to build and test evolutionary hypotheses. This approach allows the data to speak for itself\, while properly accounting for statistical and phylogenetic uncertainty. I also place this work in the context of developing inclusive evolutionary models\, which explore how mutations create phenotype and phenotype results in fitness. The aim is to illuminate the mechanics of not only 'survival' but also 'arrival of the fittest.'

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Climate Fix: A Pragmatic Future for Climate Policy
DESCRIPTION:The world's response to climate change is deeply flawed. The conventional wisdom on how to deal with climate change has failed and it's time to change course.  To date\, climate policies have been guided by targets and timetables for emissions reduction derived from various academic exercises.  Such methods are both oblivious to and in violation of on-the-ground political and technological realities that serve as practical \"boundary conditions\" for effective policy making. Until climate policies are designed with respect for these boundary conditions\, failure is certain. Using nothing more than arithmetic and logical explanation\, this talk provides a comprehensive exploration of the problem and its resolution - such as investing to create a more carbon-efficient economy and cost-efficient carbon-capture technologies.\n\nRoger Pielke\, Jr.\, has been on the faculty of the University of Colorado since 2001 and is a Professor in the Environmental Studies Program and a Fellow of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES).  He is the author of \"The Honest Broker: Making Sense of Science in Policy and Politics\" and \"The Climate Fix: What Scientists and Politicians Won't Tell you About Global Warming.\"
