What makes a university public? What should it look like? Whom should it serve? Who should have access to its resources\, and where should those resources come from?\n\nThis exhibit explores how students\, faculty\, staff\, politicians\, and citizens have attempted to answer these questions. These stories invite us to imagine U-M's future as a public university based on what we know about its past.\n\nExhibit team: Jonathan Farr\, Nora Krinitsky\, Michelle McClellan\, Gregory Parker\, Emily Price\, Kate Silbert\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester exhibit is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

In November 2016\, following a trip to Mexico\, birds unexpectedly started migrating to her canvases and an entirely new body of work began to take shape.

Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

Cavanagh’s work consists primarily of cut paper and mixed media. Working with these materials allows her to approach her work in much the same way a sculptor does: adding to and cutting away from. Cavanagh finds the artistic process to be deeply meditative. Cavanagh lives and has her studio in a historic home in downtown Rochester\, Michigan.

These images represent an intersection of information as well as ideas of cultural appropriation\, assimilation\, fragmentation and alteration. Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally. She is a professor at Western Michigan University and lives in Kalamazoo\, Michigan.

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696899@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171009T105559 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171026T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171026T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Majestic | Dream: A Selection of Color Woodcuts DESCRIPTION:The Confucius Institute at U-M proudly presents “Majestic | Dream\,” a solo exhibition by Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the Penny W. Stamps School of Arts and Design\, University of Michigan. Professor Poskovic’s creative practice considers a range of technologies as a way to explore certain characteristics of printed image: translation\, multiplicity\, seriality. Through his works\, Professor Poskovic seeks to construct representations that suggest broader themes of displacement\, exile\, memory and reconciliation. A frequent visitor to China\, Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, is a great admirer of Chinese and Asian visual and material arts. Poskovic’s work in woodblock relief printmedia reflects his deep fascination and a lasting involvement with Chinese intellectual and creative communities. To celebrate this long and fruitful engagement as a bridge between artistic China and the University of Michigan\, CIUM presents this exhibition.\n\nOver the course of years\, Poskovic has produced several major series of multi-plate color woodcut prints utilizing both established and non-traditional approaches frequently combining analog carving methods with laser engraving from bit-map data files. For this Confucius Institute sponsored exhibition\, Poskovic presents an intimate selection of color woodcuts from two series of works\, “Majestic” and “Dream”\, focusing on landscape imagery informed by real and imaginary topographies\, including several works which are based on his sketches drawn in China. Merging visual image with text\, Poskovic’s “Majestic Series” shifts the reading of the woodcut by providing an unexpected new context and forcing the viewer to continually reinterpret. In “Dream Series”\, Poskovic explores primitive strategies of early cinema to investigate personal and social histories\, shifting cultural identities\, environmental transformation\, migration and alienation.\n\nEndi Poskovic was educated in Yugoslavia\, Norway\, and the United States. His graphic works have been exhibited worldwide and have brought him many notable awards and honors\, including grants and fellowships from the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation\, the United States Fulbright Commission\, the Rockefeller Foundation\, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation\, the Norwegian Government\, the Camargo Foundation\, the Flemish Ministry of Culture\, the New York State Council on the Arts\, and the Art Matters Foundation\, among others. Museum collections which hold works by the artist include the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, the Harvard University Fogg Art Museum\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Jincheon Art Museum\, South Korea and others.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593364@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170922T111347 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171026T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171026T150000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:\"The Campus of the Future\": Design Showcase DESCRIPTION:A yearlong competition\, \"The Campus of the Future\,\" asks students to collaborate on projects that reimagine methods and spaces for teaching and learning at a residential research university.

Over a five-year period\, ten architectural practices will be invited to Taubman College to run a practice session. Each session centers on an immersive four-day design charette that culminates in a juried review and exhibition. These sessions are not workshops in the conventional sense. Invited practices are not selected to repeat a known and routinized working method in collaboration with students. Instead\, invitees are called to work in an experimental mode\, where everything is subject to the pressures of practice on design: the design of the session topic\, the design of the work space where the session is held\, the design of the way the session itself occupies the institution of Taubman College\, and the design of the thing(s) produced by the practice session.\nPractice Session #5 Opening lecture is on Friday\, October 20\, featuring Débora Mesa and Antón García-Abril\;\nThe workshop runs from October 21-22.

Classical manufacturing techniques for ultrahigh-performance polymer fibers rely on combination of high polymer crystallinity and high degree of macromolecular alignment to achieve superior mechanical properties. As a consequence\, advanced fibers such as Kevlar and Spectra possess extraordinary strength but low strain to failure (<3%) and therefore low toughness. Our recent analysis of electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers (NFs) in the ultrafine (100-250 nm) diameter range (~100 times thinner than conventional advanced fibers) showed extraordinary simultaneous increases in strength\, modulus\, AND toughness. Finest nanofilaments exhibited strength on the par with the best advanced fibers while exceeding their toughness by more than an order of magnitude. Structural investigations showed that this unique and highly desirable mechanical behavior may be due to high degree of macromolecular alignment in conjunction with low crystallinity. We have demonstrated that it is possible to further improve NF mechanical properties by changing nanomanufacturing parameters. Reduction in crystallinity of nanofibers achieved through modified processing resulted in further increases in strain to failure and toughness. Remarkably\, it has also resulted in improvements in NF strength and modulus that were attributed to improved polymer chain alignment as a result of increased drawability. Notably\, the major improvements in mechanical properties were observed in the intermediate (250-500 nm) diameter range. NFs with these larger diameters are easier to produce and handle\, simplifying the upscaling of the nanomanufacturing process. Reported dramatic (2-3 orders of magnitude) simultaneous improvements in mechanical properties of NFs can lead to inexpensive\, simultaneously strong and tough materials for safety critical applications. The proposed structural explanation of the newly discovered NF mechanical behavior challenges the prevailing paradigm in advanced fiber development calling for high polymer crystallinity and can lead to the entirely new class of advanced fibers with ultrahigh toughness\, in addition to strength. Such fibers can ultimately result in ultralight structures with the strength higher than carbon-epoxy composites (the current state-of-the-art) but much higher toughness rivaling that of metals. Recent results on bionanofibers and carbon\, as well as applications of these fibers in hierarchical supercomposites and biomedicine are also discussed.

This new engineering methodology comprehensively incorporates aero-thermal-chemical processes relevant to nozzles and other high-temperature components\, making it possible\, for the first time\, to rigorously capture the strong interactions and interdependencies that exist between the reacting flowfield and the ablating material. By basing thermal protection system engineering more firmly on first principles\, improved analysis accuracy can be achieved.\n\nThis computational framework couples a multi-species\, reacting flow solver to a two-dimensional material response solver. Five different treatments of the surface energy balance at the ablating wall\, with increasing levels of fidelity\, are investigated. The Integrated Equilibrium Surface Chemistry treatment computes the surface energy balance and recession rate directly from the diffusive fluxes at the ablating wall\, without making transport coefficient or unity Lewis number assumptions\, or requiring pre-computed surface thermochemistry tables. This method can inherently account for the effects that recession\, wall temperature\, blowing\, and the presence of ablation product species in the boundary layer have on the flowfield and ablation response. As a result\, improved agreement with experimental surface recession data is obtained.\n\nPublications\n\nPeer-Reviewed Journal Article:\nPeter G. Cross and Iain D.

She was born and raised in Cuba\, from where she immigrated with her family. Her work seeks to understand the causes and consequences of immigration as a historical process that forms and transforms persons and nations. She is the author of three books and numerous articles.\n\nIn this talk Professor Pedraza traces the changing relationship of the church and state during the Cuban revolution. Over the course of nearly 60 years\, the Cuban revolution has had several distinct relationships to the Church\, ranging from open confrontation and silencing to incorporation. Changing its definition from an atheist society in the early years of the revolution to a secular society now\, today it is more possible to be religious and to practice one’s faith in Cuba than it was earlier in this half century.\n\nThis is the last in a six-lecture series. The subject is Cuba: Our Neighbor in Transition. The next lecture series will start November 2\, 2017. The title is The Common People in Modern Politics.

At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

Such a high proportion of dynasties in a developed democracy is unusual\, and has sparked concerns over whether the democratic processes in Japan are working properly. In his forthcoming book\, Dynasties and Democracy: The Inherited Incumbency Advantage in Japan\, Smith introduces a comparative theory to explain the persistence of dynastic politics in democracies like Japan\, focusing in particular on electoral rules and party recruitment processes. Original legislator-level data from twelve democracies and candidate-level data from Japan are used to explore the implications of this theory for candidate selection\, election\, and cabinet promotion\, as well as the consequences of dynasties for democratic representation. \n \nDaniel M. Smith is Assistant Professor in the Department of Government at Harvard University\, where he is also affiliated with the Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies\, the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs\, the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies\, and the Institute for Quantitative Social Science.

In three studies\, using large representative data sets and community samples\, I show that people who experience cultural fit behave in healthier ways and have physiological markers that indicate lower risk for cardiovascular disease. First\, looking at fit with one’s national culture\, I show that Americans who fit the mainstream American cultural norm of independence and Japanese who fit the mainstream Japanese cultural norm of interdependence eat a healthier diet. Next\, I turn to comparisons of groups within a country. I demonstrate that higher SES individuals who are more independent—that is\, who fit with norms in higher SES contexts—and lower SES individuals who are more interdependent—that is\, who fit with norms in lower SES contexts—have lower levels of allostatic load\, a marker of biological risk across multiple systems in the body. Finally\, I extend the operationalization of fit beyond the distinction between independence and interdependence by showing that students of color\, whom previous research shows tend to value diversity\, are healthier when they attend schools that value diversity. Specifically\, they have fewer metabolic syndrome signs and lower levels of inflammation\, both indicators of decreased cardiovascular disease risk. Across diverse settings with different indicators of health\, these studies highlight the previously unexplored role of cultural fit in health and suggest that interventions to improve cultural fit may help to reduce health disparities.

Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter\, David Fahrenthold of The Washington Post\, offers suggestions for both reporters and news consumers on navigating this new era. He will discuss how journalists can open up their own reporting process through social media\, show the public the work that underlies their stories and invite readers in as collaborators. \n\nDuring the 2016 presidential campaign\, Fahrenthold used social media to follow-up on Donald Trump’s pledge to donate money to veterans groups. Posting his reporter’s notes on Twitter to solicit leads\, Fahrenthold uncovered Trump’s questionable charitable practices and found no evidence that Trump donated money to veterans groups as he’d claimed. Fahrenthold was also the first reporter to reveal the existence of the “Access Hollywood” 2005 video in which Trump bragged about groping women. For his series of stories\, Fahrenthold won the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for national reporting.\n\nA graduate of Harvard\, Fahrenthold has been at The Washington Post since 2000. There he reports on President Trump’s businesses and conflicts of interest. He previously covered the Washington\, D.C.\, police\, the environment\, New England\, Congress and the federal bureaucracy for the paper.

The mission’s main goal is to collect samples from this primitive body and return them to Earth. Supporting scientific goals are to fully explore that asteroid’s physical and geophysical environment. The mission marks an important step in the continued robotic exploration of asteroids\, a larger endeavor motivated by the scientific study and exploration of the solar system and the protection of society against future hazardous asteroid impactors.\n\nTo carry out such endeavors involves significant challenges for the dynamics and control of spacecraft. For example\, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft at Bennu will implement an entirely new approach to orbital mechanics in the asteroid environment. The successful implementation of these close proximity operations will usher in a new capability for the exploration of these bodies. \n\nThis talk will discuss the technical challenges and state of the art of spacecraft operations in the asteroid environment. It will also give a preview of the OSIRIS-REx mission and discuss the extreme and exciting orbital dynamics environment in which that spacecraft will operate.\n \nAbout the speaker...\nDaniel J. Scheeres is a University of Colorado Distinguished Professor and is the A. Richard Seebass Endowed Chair Professor in the Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder. He currently leads the Radio Science experiment on NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission.

The level at which morpheme types are elected may affect their distribution in surface level constructions\; that is\, there is a contrast between morphemes that convey more semantic/pragmatic information from those realizing hierarchical structures. Such differences may also lie behind the preferences for selecting one language over another in some structures in some bilingual data. I look especially at codeswitching\, but also consider examples from borrowing across languages and discuss briefly mixed languages and creole development. I will be referring to an Asymmetry Principle and the Matrix Language Frame (MLF) model\, but more to the 4-M model of morpheme classification. I will present several hypotheses that seem to explain some surface distributions.

The long-term goal of the presented work is to understand the molecular design rules that control nanoparticle toxicity using aspects of materials science (nanoparticle design\, fabrication\, and modification)\, analytical chemistry (developing new assays to monitor nanotoxicity)\, and ecology (monitoring how nanoparticles enter and accumulate in the food web through bacteria and how these nanoparticles influence bacterial function). Taken together\, these data suggest that careful consideration of engineered nanoparticle surface chemistry will likely allow design of safe and sustainable nanoscale materials. \n \n \n \n \n \n \nChristy Haynes (University of Minnesota) UID:40779-8750075@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/40779 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180214T162457 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171026T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171026T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar: Self- and species recognition in brood parasitic birds DESCRIPTION:Avian brood parasites have provided a long-standing and popular model system for the experimental analysis of self- and species-recognition\, which are essential for most critical aspects of social behavior. Specifically\, when faced with a nest containing own and foreign eggs\, the foremost question is how individuals discriminate themselves (their own eggs) from others (foreign eggs) by utilizing each of their recognition system’s components: perception\, cognition\, and response. An overview of advances in the experimental analyses of hosts' egg rejection behaviors is presented here. Such studies provide detailed information for our understanding of the evolutionary impacts of parasitic birds on hosts’ cognitive processes and behavioral outcomes in the context of self- and species-recognition.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/-HhMUOx_aIg UID:42294-9593430@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42294 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Ecology,Environment LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1210 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170830T145557 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171026T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171026T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Examining Your Political Identity DESCRIPTION:How has your political identity been shaped?

As the earliest constructed\, longest lived\, and best preserved Mycenaean palace\, Pylos holds a unique position in Late Bronze Age archaeology with audience halls\, archive rooms\, stunning wall paintings\, and thousands of Linear B tablets. The archaeological data from the cemeteries also sets it apart from the other palaces: Pylos is the only palace with cemeteries nearby that have been excavated using modern methods and are well-recorded. Yet\, to date the vast richness of data available in the tombs has not been mined fully. Through a detailed examination of the tombs and their contents my study changes our understanding of how the Pylian state was formed\; it elucidates how Pylos differed from other Mycenaean societies\; it refines the complex relationship between Pylos and the greater Mediterranean world\; and it demonstrates how the community manipulated funerary rituals to create social prestige and power.

Her poems have appeared in numerous journals and anthologies\, including the New Yorker\, the Paris Review\, and the New York Times Magazine\, and she has been awarded fellowships from the Library of Congress and Stanford University\, among other awards. A former attorney\, she now teaches poetry at Princeton University and at the Warren Wilson College MFA Program for Writers. She previously taught at Bennington College\, Columbia University\, and at the Sarah Lawrence College MFA Program. Youn’s poetry has been described as “interested in the intersection between the beauty we want in life\, and the darkness that often serves as an invisible barrier for it\,” with her background in law allowing her to “probe and navigate these gray areas gently\, using an economy of language that both cuts to the heart of the matter and reveals nuanced layers of caution\, lust\, and desperation.”\n\nOne of the most prolific American writers of the 20th century\, Joyce Carol Oates counts historical biographies\, depictions of working class families\, and magical realist Gothic fiction among her oeuvre. She often depicts hardships and violence in American towns\, and has received both critical and popular acclaim in her 50-year career. Oates is the author of over 70 books\, including the novels them (1969)\, winner of the National Book Award\; Bellefleur (1980)\; You Must Remember This (1987)\; Because It Is Bitter\, and Because It Is My Heart (1990)\; We Were the Mulvaneys (1996)\; Blonde (2000)\, winner of the National Book Award\; The Gravedigger’s Daughter (2007)\; and The Accursed (2013). Her short stories and essays have appeared in the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, The Atlantic\, and Harper’s\, and have been widely anthologized.

Sometimes the reason is\, you’re not as clever as you think you are\, and you make bad decisions. Conventional wisdom dictates that the more we know about the problems and opportunities we face\, the better our decisions about them will be. Sadly\, this conventional wisdom tends not to be terribly wise. Over the course of this talk\, Professor Árvai will try to convince you that the more we can learn about how we actually make decisions\, the better we’ll be at it.

Yet in addiction\, these processes go awry. Recent findings indicate that “liking” for intense pleasure is generated by a frail and tiny network in the brain\, whereas “wanting” for pleasures has a much more robust and larger brain generating network. In addiction\, hyper-reactive brain systems can create intense “wants” even in absence of any “liking.” UID:45404-10172700@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/45404 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Bicentennial,Discussion,umich200 LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171004T105002 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171026T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171026T183000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Feast of Ideas DESCRIPTION:Choosing the right medication for someone is often based on prescriber preference and not what might be most effective for the patient. This practice often leads to a trial and error sort of practice for finding a medication that works. The field of pharmacogenomics occurs at the intersection of genetics\, pharmacology\, and clinical pharmacy. Using data from a patient’s genetic analysis\, clinicians are able to better predict which medication to use for certain gene/drug pairs\, which may lead to fewer medication-related side effects\, and overall better treatment outcomes. To do this currently\, all patients would need to undergo this testing\, which can be very expensive. Therefore\, working to better identify those patients who would benefit from this testing the most needs to be done.

Using examples from animal models\, human clinical samples\, and human population studies we will examine how many common compounds\, such as bisphenol A (BPA)\, plasticizers\, and metals\, may have deleterious consequences through abnormal epigenetic and genetic regulation. We will also discuss how unlike genetic mutations\, which are static and non-modifiable\, epigenetic programming is dynamic and potentially modifiable\, allowing for intervention approaches to improve health.

In this presentation\, Professor Hughes will discuss the ongoing efforts in the context of other artist-driven protest movements.

Presently\, understanding of sepsis is limited\, which has made its treatment very challenging. In fact\, presently\, there are no effective drug treatments for sepsis. We are using the measurement of small molecules (signals) in the blood to better understand sepsis and determine how changes in the levels of these signals reflect response to drugs. This field called metabolomics\, is also helping us identify new drug target opportunities so we can find new and effective treatments for sepsis.

This timely publication addresses the challenges of society and anti-semitism then\, as it is happening again today. A dessert reception follows the author’s presentation.\n\nAndrei Markovits is currently an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor and the Karl W. Deutsch Collegiate Professor of Comparative Politics and German Studies at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. He is the author and editor of many books\, scholarly articles\, conference papers\, book reviews and newspaper contributions in English and many foreign languages on topics as varied as German and Austrian politics\, anti-Semitism\, anti-Americanism\, social democracy and social movements.

The fundamental processing of DNA to RNA\, via transcription\, and RNA to protein\, via translation\, drives all cellular activities and its imbalance leads to disease. While efforts in drug discovery tend to take a more protein-centric view of the central dogma\, whereby the great majority of approved drugs target proteins\, through this presentation\, Professor Garner will try to convince you that we’ve got it all wrong. In this presentation\, she will describe new ways that U-M faculty are seeking to tackle this last frontier in drug discovery and decipher how to selectively target specific RNAs with small molecules for the treatment of human diseases.

Don’t let children drink soda\, but don’t be overly restrictive. Don’t talk about your child’s weight\, but make sure they’re not too heavy. The question is – which of these recommendations does scientific evidence support? This presentation will provide insight into the state of the childhood obesity science with regard to parenting\, and raise awareness of what we do\, and do not\, know about how to support healthy children.
