For his solo show\, \"Abstract Ancestry\,\" at University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities\, Harrison will produce a suite of mechanical drawings with his homemade 3D printer. Using books and documents containing problematic historical portrayals as the substrate for his drawings\, Harrison is able to explore issues of representation. The exhibition also examines abstraction\, setting the printers to work at a low resolution ensures that imperfections and variability come through in these machine-produced drawings.\n\nOn April 5\, join us as we celebrate the opening of our final exhibition of the academic year with our 2018 Efroymson Emerging Artist in Residence Matthew Angelo Harrison. Harrison will be in conversation with curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThis project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

The self-taught artist sees himself as a documentarian of lives easily ignored in a world obsessed with materialism and celebrity. His work frequently highlights not only the strength found in conquering the everyday and mundane\, but also the pain and defeat of those not able to rise to the occasion. His love of film noir and pulp fiction novels from the 1940s and '50s has led him to experiment with minimalist animation and comic book illustration. He embraces the whimsy hidden in the darkness.\n\nCarl is the recipient of a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellowship and is an alumni of the historic Yaddo Artists’ Community. During his residency there he carved the prints for\, and wrote the book\, Her Purse Smelled like Juicyfruit\, a recollection of his mother’s life. Carl was named 2014 guest curator of Detroit’s Carr Center. Also in 2014 Complex Online Magazine named him one of Twenty Detroit Artists You Should Know. He was featured in Essay'd\, a monthly publication about Detroit artists. 2017 sees the release of a comic book\, the first installment of his graphic novel\, Dead and Lost in Detroit.

Objects and their constituent materials are studied alongside their larger landscapes and built environments\, the bodily practices and disciplines that produced them\, and the sensory regimes and perceptual schemes in which they were embedded. \n\nThis two-day conference brings together scholars from across a range of disciplines to consider how people in the ancient Mediterranean world\, Jews among them\, related both to matter itself and to issues of materiality. How did they conceptualize the relationships between word and thing\, language and action\, text and artifact? How did they sense\, understand\, and construct material entities such as quotidian or sacred artifacts\, human or divine bodies\, built or natural environments\, and so on? How did non-Jews perceive or represent the relationships between Jews and matter? Finally\, how has the history of Jews and matter been reconstructed in modern scholarship and how might scholars approach the nexus of Jews and the material more productively? Presentations explore the profound interconnectedness within ancient (Jewish) culture among things\, space\, and embodiment\, and will place these in dialogue with the signifying practices that are essential to cultural (and other kinds of) production.\n\nMonday\, April 9th\n\n9:00-9:15 Welcome: Jeffrey Veidlinger and Rachel Neis\n\n9:15-10:45 Panel I: Affects\n• Chaya Halberstam\, “Seeing and Feeling without Believing: Courtroom Spectacle and the Affective Landscape”\n• Karen Stern\, “Materiality of Emotion in Inscribed Jewish Prayers” \nRespondent and chair: C.

A pioneering female gallerist\, Kasle provided midwest audiences with a venue in which to experience avant-garde art from centers like New York City\, while also supporting and exhibiting regional artists. Featuring a collection of paintings\, works on paper\, and sculptures from the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement through the early twenty-first century\, 'Exercising the Eye' speaks to the relationships Kasle fostered with local\, national\, and international artists and her appreciation for artistic expression and experimentation. Critical voices from the last fifty years include Philip Guston\, Jane Hammond\, Grace Hartigan\, Jasper Johns\, Michele Oka Doner\, and Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a dynamic moment in Detroit’s cultural history and insight into Kasle’s love of looking and learning.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

He received his Ph.D. in developmental psychology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in August 2017. His research investigates how socializing agents impact the development of social identities during adolescence and how interventions can be developed to shape identities to be congruent with a more positive sense of self and academic success.\n\n \n\nAbstract:\nIdentity development represents one of the primary social developmental tasks of adolescence and has constantly been shown to be associated with and even predict many important outcomes in the lives of adolescents. This talk will detail the findings from three different studies that investigate factors that shape social identities and their associations with outcomes. The first study explores the role of mothers in the development of ethnic-racial identity (ERI) among adolescents. Estimation of longitudinal\, bidirectional influence between African American mothers and adolescents was assessed as youth aged from Grade 5 to Grade 12. The second study sought to better understand the relation between ERI and academic outcomes through assessing how valuing of school could act as mediating mechanism in longitudinal relations of ERI and academic motivation among North African French adolescents. Lastly\, the third study was an intervention study. Some ethnic/racial and gender groups are negatively stereotyped in academic domains\, thus academic success is likely not considered to be a characteristic of an in-group member or congruent with a social identity. To thwart these negative stereotypes and to make academic success congruent with ethnic-racial and gender identities\, an intervention was developed with the use of role models and a self-affirmation task with American Indian adolescents.

Fast spiking interneurons are thought to play an important role in gamma synchrony. Recently\, fast spiking interneurons in the entorhinal cortex have been shown to exhibit type 2 excitability and postinhibitory rebound (PIR). Theoretical work has shown that these properties make interneuronal network gamma (ING) more robust than in networks of type 1 interneurons. Here we show that this robust ING persists in a sparsely connected excitatory network. We also show that phase response curve (PRC) theory can predict under what circumstances the interneurons will sparsely synchronize in two clusters\, and how increasing the delay and/or the conductance destabilizes two clusters in favor of a single cluster.\n UID:49772-11532461@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49772 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180307T134705 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180409T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180409T133000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Students with Disability Networking Luncheon DESCRIPTION:Please join the staff in Graduate Student Programs and Services for Students with Disabilities to network with other students and to discuss future initiatives.

Within the CDD Vault software\, Activity & Registration\, Visualization\, Inventory\, and ELN capabilities all address today's markets. Secure\, web-based collaborative technologies are especially applicable to the informatics needs of (and broadly used by) public-private-partnerships (PPPs). Web-based platforms are a natural fit for collaboration due to the economic\, architectural\, and design benefits of a single platform that transcends any one organization's solo requirements. In contrast to the CDD Vault for today's collaborations\, CDD's Research Informatics Group invents bleeding edge technologies for tomorrow's needs. For example\, open source descriptors and model sharing capabilities allow for platform-independent collaborations\, even for sensitive data and IP\, with groups reticent to share. CDD and Pfizer have demonstrated that these open source descriptors and models were statistically similar to commercial models (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20693417). The main idea is to democratize model building to engage experimentalists to actually want to use models. As a second example\, the recently developed BioAssay Express (BAE) technology streamlines the conversion of human-readable assay descriptions to computer-readable information. Here the main idea is to allow researchers to easily search and combine similar bioassay protocols\, even though those similarity searches are much more difficult than Tanimoto (Jaccard) chemical and biological sequence similarity searches. BAE uses semantic standards to mark up bioprotocols\, which unleashes the full power of informatics technology on data that could previously only be organized by crude text searching (https://peerj.com/articles/cs-61/). These two newer web-technologies may be used not only with the CDD Vault\, but also with other commercial\, academic\, or government built software tools. All open source components are in GitHub. \n\nBarry A. Bunin\, Ph.D. is the CEO of Collaborative Drug Discovery. Prior to CDD\, Dr. Bunin was an Entrepreneur in Residence with Eli Lilly & Co. Dr. Bunin is on a patent for Kyprolis™ (carfilzomib) for Injection\, a proteasome inhibitor that received accelerated FDA approval for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma. Dr. Bunin was the founding CEO\, President\, & CSO of Libraria (now Eidogen-Sertanty). At Libraria\, Dr. Bunin led a team that integrated exhaustive reaction capture (synthetic chemistry) with gene-family wide SAR capture (medicinal chemistry). On the scientific side\, he co-authored \"Chemoinformatics: Theory\, Practice\, and Products\" (Springer-Verlag)\, a text that overviews modern chemoinformatics technologies\, and \"The Combinatorial Index\" (Academic Press)\, a widely used text on high-throughput chemical synthesis. In the lab\, Dr. Bunin did medicinal synthetic chemistry developing patented new chemotypes for protease inhibition at Axys Pharmaceuticals (now Celera) and RGD mimics to inhibit GP-IIbIIIa at Genentech. Dr. Bunin received his B.A. from Columbia University and his Ph.D. from UC Berkeley\, where he synthesized and tested the initial 1\,4-benzodiazepine libraries with Professor Jonathan Ellman.

During a national application process for phone survey and data entry positions\, we randomly offered applicants alternative wage-hour bundles. Jobseeker choices over these bundles yield estimates for the MVT as a function of hours worked. These quantities trace out a labor supply relationship. As predicted by the conventional model of the allocation of time\, the substitution effect is positive. Individual labor supply is highly elastic at low hours and becomes more inelastic at higher hours. For unemployed job applicants\, the opportunity cost of a full-time job due to lost leisure\, household production\, and other non-work activities is approximately 60% of their estimated market wage. A similar estimate is found when we reproduce elements of this experiment in a nationally representative survey.

However\, its evolution is largely unexplored territory. I will describe our experimental exploration of the evolution over 1.5 billion years of two allosteric regulation mechanisms widely found in the modern protein kinase superfamily\, phosphorylation of the activation loop and binding of a regulatory partner protein. Using Ancestral Sequence Reconstruction (ASR) we unravel the origins of allosteric activation including surprising mechanistic features. Moreover\, ASR enabled identification of the underlying allosteric network that spans the kinase from the N-terminal to the C-terminal lobes. In the second part of the talk I describe how we exploit this new knowledge for the development of allosteric inhibitors and activators. This latter approach delivered novel kinase inhibitors and activators with extreme specificity and high affinity thereby opening the road to new cancer treatment. Third\, I will address the evolution of enzyme catalysis in response to one of the most fundamental evolutionary drivers\, temperature. Using ASR\, we answer the question of how enzymes coped with an inherent drop in catalytic speed caused as the earth cooled down over 3.5 billion years. Tracing the evolution of enzyme activity and stability from the hot-start towards modern hyperthermophilic\, mesophilic and psychrophilic organisms illustrates active pressure versus passive drift in evolution on a molecular level. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nDorothee Kern (Brandeis University) UID:49169-11386597@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49169 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180409T181538 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180409T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180409T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Addressing Challenges for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) DESCRIPTION:The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) is under construction to measure the expansion history of the universe using the baryon acoustic oscillations technique. The spectra of 35 million galaxies and quasars over 14\,000 square degrees will be measured during a 5-year survey. A new prime focus corrector for the Mayall telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory will deliver light to 5\,000 individually targeted fiber-fed robotic positioners. The fibers in turn feed ten broadband multi-object spectrographs. This talk will give an overview of the DESI project and then describe several unique instrument and survey challenges. I will highlight the ProtoDESI experiment\, an on-sky technology demonstration with the goal to reduce technical risks associated with aligning optical fibers with targets using robotic fiber positioners and maintaining the stability required to operate DESI. The ProtoDESI prime focus instrument\, which was installed and commissioned on the 4-m Mayall telescope from Aug. 14 to Sep. 30\, 2016\, consisted of three fiber positioners\, illuminated fiducials\, and a guide camera. ProtoDESI was successful in acquiring targets with the robotically positioned fibers and demonstrated that the DESI guiding requirements can be met. Additionally\, I will report progress on a predictive sky background model for DESI\, built on the spectra from the 4-year Baryon Acoustic Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). This dataset consists of ~1 million unique sky spectra covering 360 - 1040 nm collected in a variety of observational conditions. This detailed model will be integrated into a dynamic exposure time calculator for DESI\, which will ensure data quality uniformity and increase survey efficiency. \n UID:51645-12182149@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51645 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180222T081908 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180409T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180409T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Public Finance DESCRIPTION:Details to come.

Credibility Struggles in Times of Tectonic Upheaval: Rethinking Civic Epistemologies around Indian Nuclear Power Politics DESCRIPTION:Sheila Jasanoff conceptualized civic epistemologies as stable\, socio-institutional forms of vetting\, producing\, and using policy-relevant knowledge that persist in particular political cultures. STS studies of credibility struggles are premised upon shared epistemological and moral foundations\, even as they carefully remove markers of the all-too-human arbitration process. But how should one view credibility struggles in times of geological upheaval\, where epistemological and political substrates are being torn apart and reconfigured? How should we conceptualize democratic legitimacy during periods of technological intrusions? Using the case of anti-nuclear activism in India\, I demonstrate how activists\, villagers\, and different state officials are engaged in tectonic credibility struggles. Such contestations are overtly political and epistemic\, and attempt to instantiate particular nuclear-democratic imaginaries by forming and expanding credibility economies across different audiences. The substantial challenges activists face in forming networked credibility economies necessitate re-theorizing civic epistemologies in India and beyond.

These works were composed by members of the eminent family of Nuri sayyids of Shushtar\, who moved between Khuzistan\, the Deccan\, Bengal\, and the shrine-towns of Iraq\, and whose writings spanned four generations and encompassed a variety of genres\, including local history\, geography\, self-narrative\, travel-writing\, family history\, Shiʿi jurisprudence\, medicine\, and astrology. The texts of this corpus preserve a set of dialogues between generations of family members\, who were deliberately engaging with one another’s memories of home\, family\, travel\, and ideas\, as each of them moved between Shushtar\, Iraq-i Arab\, and the kingdoms of Hind\, and penned their narratives. Nonetheless\, these writers appear to have maintained a sense of family solidarity and homeland even as they were dispersed throughout cities on both sides of the Indian Ocean.\n\nIn his presentation\, Mancini-Lander will argue that the dialogic and intertextual nature of this corpus\, where the boundaries between individual authors is fluid\, provides a blueprint for understanding a process by which these authors negotiated two opposing\, yet commensurately fluid sensibilities—one cosmopolitan and the other local. Focusing on the authors’ prevalent and intertwined conceits constructed around flows of water\, disease\, knowledge\, and the Prophet’s seed\, he contends that the logic of this negotiation becomes comprehensible. More importantly\, by observing the historically contingent variations in strategy by which these writers emplot Shushstar’s history\, he traces their development as they changed over time.\n\nMancini-Lander is a Lecturer in the History of Iran as SOAS\, London. In 2012\, he completed his dissertation in UM’s Near Eastern Studies Department under the supervision of Kathryn Babayan. Entitled “Memory on the Boundary of Empire: Narrating Place in the Early Modern Historiography of Yazd\,” it was awarded the Malcolm H. Kerr Dissertation Prize (Humanities) by the Middle East Studies Association in 2013. Mancini-Lander’s research focuses on the cultural history of the late medieval and early modern Persianate world\, with a particular interest in urban and local historiography.\n\nWe look forward to seeing you there!\n\nFor more information about our workshop and a calendar of events\, check out our website: \n\nhttps://sites.lsa.umich.edu/iranian-studies/psw UID:51564-12167540@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51564 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:History,Humanities,Middle East Studies,Workshop LOCATION:202 S.

The two Be Good Tanyas bandmates hadn’t played together in years\, but still shared a strong musical and personal connection. “I just called her out of the blue\,” says Jolie\, who asked Samantha if she wanted to make some music together. “We hadn’t been in touch\, but the timing was right and she said yes.\" The album wanders from rural blues to folk and ragtime\, from smoky jazz to emotive R&B and fearless rock & roll. \"I really like going at things from a lot of diverse angles\,\" says Jolie. “The idea of genre is really unattractive to me.” The two cover Townes Van Zandt’s \"You Are Not Needed Now\" and Michael Hurley's \"Jocko’s Lament\,\" and Jolie rewrites Dylan's \"Minstrel Boy\,\" adding verses about two poets—William Blake and Steven Jesse Bernstein—whose work \"helped me crystallize my view of the world.\" UID:49123-11375512@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49123 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180216T121541 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180409T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Opera Scenes DESCRIPTION:Join SMTD undergraduate voice students as they perform a selection of Italian opera duets from Handel’s Rodelinda\, Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro\, Cimarosa’s Il matrimonio segreto\, and Donizetti’s L’elisir d’amore.
