For each one\, an accompanying explanation describes its significance. The subjects of the images are cells\, tissues and organs\, from a wide variety of biological sources (plants\, worms\, fruit flies\, fish\, mice and yes\, even human brain). The colors are added by investigators\, to allow them to see the otherwise transparent tissues. By looking at these microscopic images\, you will learn about research into normal embryonic development as well as cutting-edge investigations into diseases such as basal cell carcinoma\, bipolar disease\, epilepsy and cancer.

Blending images from the real world and her imagination\, Organic Fiction celebrates nature in all its beauty\, chaos and complexity. Hava Gurevich received a BFA in photography from U-M and an MFA in painting from Illinois State University. Her creative process begins with photographs and sketches of details in nature\, such as tree branches\, ice patterns\, twisted vines\, and delicate spring blossoms. These drawings contribute to her personal vocabulary of shapes and gestures\, and she often digitally combines them with older paintings to become starting points of new works.

As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts\, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE\, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects\; bilingualism in Egypt\; books read by the Egyptian monks\; and the works of Shenoute the Great\, the most important author of Coptic literature.\n\nThis exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The exhibit and related programming are offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.\n\nJoin us for an opening lecture and reception at 4:30 p.m. on November 12 in the Hatcher Library Gallery.

It depicts a variety of individual stories\, positioned with a synchronous global narrative in a way that is both personally intimate and deeply political. In all his years of responding to floods and making many journeys he has shot a vast archive of video footage\, which is fully activated in this presentation for the first time.\n\nAbout Gideon Mendel and his Drowning World project:\nGideon Mendel came of age as a photographer in South Africa in the 1980’s and identified strongly as a ‘struggle photographer’. This marked him and his subsequent career has been notable for his engagement with three of the crucial political and social issues that have faced his generation. These are the struggle against apartheid\, HIV/AIDS in Africa and Climate Change.\n\nA leading contemporary photographer\, Gideon Mendel's intimate style of image making and long-term commitment to projects has earned him international recognition and many awards. He was shortlisted for the Prix Pictet Prize 2015 and recently has won both the inaugural Jackson Pollock Prize for Creativity and the Greenpeace Photo Award 2016.\n\nHis on-going project ‘Drowning World\, explores the human dimension of climate change by focusing on floods across geographical and cultural boundaries. By highlighting the personal impact of flooding he evokes our vulnerability to global warming questioning our sense of stability in the world.\n\nThe work began in 2007\, when Mendel photographed floods in the UK and in India within weeks of each other. He was deeply struck by the contrasting impact of these events\, and the shared experiences of those affected.\n\nSince then he has endeavoured to travel to flood zones around the world visiting Haiti (2008)\, Pakistan (2010)\, Australia (2011)\, Thailand (2011)\, Nigeria (2012)\, Germany (2013)\, The Philippines (2013)\, The UK (2014)\, India (2014)\, Brazil (2015)\, Bangladesh (2015)\, the USA (2015 and 2017) and France (2016 and 2018).\n\nAs the work progressed photographing floods became both a literal and allegorical means of documenting the tension between the personal and the global effects of climate change. Each location added has intensified the narrative impact of the endeavour.\n\nDrowning World now consists of four parallel and connected narrative elements: Submerged Portraits\, Flood Lines\, Watermarks\, and Deluge.

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520881@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Architecture,Classical Studies,Detroit,Environment,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181204T063011 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181129T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181129T130000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Premier Staff Services Hiring Event/On-The-Spot Interviews (OVER 100 positions available) DESCRIPTION:Premier Staff Services will have OVER 100 positions available when it holds a single-employer hiring event at the Livonia Michigan Works(30246 Plymouth Road) on Thursday\, November 29 from 9am-1pm.

We use models of computer vision to investigate biological vision. Some progress includes \"encoding models\" to predict brain responses to thousands of web images and \"decoding models\" to reconstruct and categorize natural videos from functional brain scans. We are now extending similar strategies to natural language processing and brain-inspired robotics. We also use neuroscience knowledge to advance computer vision. Recent progress includes the so-called predictive coding network\, capable of running bottom-up and top-down computation similar to the bi-directional neural information processing in the brain. Unlike the state-of-the-art feedforward-only convolutional neural networks\, the predictive coding network can unfold itself in time to generate an arbitrarily deep neural network\, which learns faster and performs better despite its much shallower architecture and many fewer parameters. In this talk\, I will share our recent work on combining neural imaging\, recording\, modeling\, and machine learning\, and discuss their potential applications for understanding mental functions and disorders.\n\nZhongming Liu\, Ph.D.\, is an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University.

Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan. She was co-principal investigator on the Detroit Arab American Study\, a landmark public opinion survey of Arab Americans in Detroit. She also works on immigration policy\, bias reduction\, and prison rehabilitation. She received her BA in history from Princeton University and her PhD in political science from the University of Chicago.\n\nComprehensive Immigration reform” balancing increased legal immigration with extensive border and workplace enforcement\, has been a goal shared by both Democratic and Republican presidents. But Congress has been unable to pass such a bill for two decades. Instead\, immigration advocates should champion reform that other countries have successfully implemented: based on state and regional economic needs\, which can win support from state-level political coalitions. Such proposals would tie immigration to economic impact\, eliminating a “shadow system of residency that currently exists outside the law.”\n\nThis is the fifth in a series of six weekly lectures. The subject is immigration. The next lecture will be on December 6. The title is REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT IN WASHTENAW COUNTY.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

This presentation will examine the pictorial art (often paintings) created to adorn these spaces as a specific type of public art by investigating the patronage\, production and reception of two groups of such paintings at Tōji (1934) and Saihōji (1969) by Dōmoto Inshō (1891-1975)\, a pioneer artist committed to the genre\, who paved the way for this art form to achieve its current popularity in Japan.\n\nYasuko Tsuchikane holds a PhD in Japanese art history from Columbia University and specializes in the 20th century. She teaches at The Cooper Union and at Waseda University in Tokyo. Her current research questions how various values authorize the legitimacy of art works across media in different social spaces.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to bkinzer@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

We will first argue that the best gloss of anger takes it to be directed at offenses\, understood as transgressive actions that provide reason to retaliate (in the first-person case) or to punish (in the third-person case). Call such backward-looking considerations\, about what people do and why they do it\, retributive reasons. If anger is ever fitting\, then retributive reasons exist\; and anger\, like other natural emotions\, is sometimes fitting. This result itself is significant\, because it belies the claims of those who endorse the so-called utilitarian theory of punishment\, and it illustrates the significance of a sentimental value: the anger-worthy. But it also forms the basis of our sentimentalist defense of retributivism\, which constitutes an all-things-considered justification of punishment relying partly on retributive reasons.

While aspects of love are surely unique to our species\, human romantic relationships are displays of a mating system characterized by pair bonding\, likely built on ancient foundational neural mechanisms governing individual recognition\, social reward\, territorial behavior and maternal nurturing. Dr. Young will discuss his work on monogamous prairie voles that provide insights into neural mechanisms and evolution of pair bonding\, and the implications for the neurobiology of Love.

The field targets primarily acoustic\, elastic\, and/or thermal properties and usually involves the investigation and utilization of complex wave mechanisms encompassing one or more of a diverse range of phenomena such as dispersion\, resonances\, dissipation\, and nonlinear interactions. The field bridges multiple disciplines across applied physics and engineering\, and spans multiple scales reaching the atomic scale where a rigorous definition of phonons resides–quanta of lattice vibrations.\n\nThe Phononics Laboratory at Smead Aerospace\, University of Colorado Boulder has played a leading role in both the founding of institutions to help define\, form\, and propel the field forward\, and the discovery and development of novel research concepts at the heart of phonon science and engineering. This talk will review two new paradigms developed at the Phononics Laboratory: passive flow stabilization by subsurface phonons (a concept jointly established with Sedat Biringen) and resonant thermal transport in nanophononic metamaterials.

To sustain trade in such cases\, parties rely on relational contracts (RC). Introducing competition might change exit options\, thus undermining the ability to sustain RC. To examine the impact of competition on procurement of inputs\, we exploit the prevalence of RC between processing mills and farmers in Rwanda’s coffee sector. We implement a census of all mills and farmers to measure the features of the RC binding them. We then develop a RC model to explore the incentive problems between mills and farmers. The model is used to predict how competition affects RC\, the mill’s performance\, and farmer outcomes. Since the location of mills is endogenous\, an engineering model is estimated for the optimal placement of mills to instrument for competition in each locality. We find that competition between mills undermines RC by increasing the mill’s processing costs\, lowering the mill’s capacity utilization and reducing the quality of coffee cherries received by the mill. Competition constrains the farmer’s credit and input choices and reduces the farmer’s wellbeing. The findings highlight that in weak contracting settings\, the value RC generates can be hampered by competition. The evidence provides a rationale for policies commonly observed historically across developing countries\, such as zoning regulations and monopsony licensing\, and emphasizes the importance of promoting contractual enforcement in agricultural value chains in order to reap the benefits of competition.

Meisler Collegiate Professorship in Afroamerican & African Studies and in the Residential College\, Inaugural Lecture DESCRIPTION:What happens when history and ideology are at odds? And how are the stakes higher when the history in question has become part of our public culture – celebrated through commemorations\, concretized in public monuments and statuary\, and taught in textbooks? In exploring the often-unacknowledged intersections\, parallels and alliances between the post-WWII civil rights movement and the rise of the New Right\, my work centers on “civil rights conservatives”: African-American figures\, such as James H. Meredith\, who were critical of the mainstream of the movement from a right-of-center perspective. Meredith\, famous for integrating the University of Mississippi\, is a major civil rights icon who has struggled to distance himself from his own political legacy\, even coming to denounce integration as a \"con job.\" This irony\, I argue\, is deeply intertwined with modes of public history – “monumental history” – that do not allow for ideological complexity\, and that distort as much as they clarify.

My presentation will focus on the characterization of (1) the first biologically-relevant oxoiron(V) model complex and (2) a Cu/O2 intermediate in the mononuclear copper enzyme Formylglycine-Generating Enzyme (FGE). In both cases\, we have been able to utilize spectroscopic insight to characterize novel\, fleeting intermediates and to understand how they fit into proposed reaction mechanisms.\n\n(1) Oxoiron(V) species are fleeting intermediates that are postulated to be involved in some of the most difficult oxidative transformations in biology. Using a biomimetic analog\, we employed resonance Raman\, electron paramagnetic resonance\, and Mössbauer spectroscopies in conjunction with calibrated DFT computations to elucidate key structural and electronic properties. We were able to attribute its highly anisotropic hyperfine parameters and unusual spectroscopic features to an iron(V) complex with an axial oxo ligand. Our analysis defines spectroscopic parameters characteristic of perferryl intermediates in biology.\n\n(2) Apart from its importance for sulfatase activity\, FGE also serves as a powerful tool for protein engineering because of its ability to introduce aldehyde functional groups into recombinant proteins. Together with my collaborators\, we have used high-energy X-ray techniques to spectroscopically define the unique copper active site in the absence and presence of its functional peptide substrate. Furthermore\, we now have evidence for key intermediates along the O2-reaction pathway. With this crucial insight in hand\, we have a more complete understanding of how FGE utilizes its unique mononuclear copper active site to activate O2\, initiate reaction with substrate\, and generate the Cα-formylglycine product. \n \n \n \n \nKatlyn Meier\, PhD.

Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach\, Viktor weaves together many disparate materials\, uniting contemporary and ancient modes of making including photography\, performance\, installation\, and abstract painting. In recent years she has focused on creating increasingly dark canvases embedded with “layers of light” in the form of symbols and intricate patterns that Viktor calls “light-works.” According to the artist: “My personal mandate has always been to reveal that which is hidden. To reflect upon diverse histories — many of which have been grossly misrepresented or erased — and bring them to light. I want to offer a hopeful projection of a future I would like to see.” Viktor has exhibited extensively in the United States and internationally\, including at the Harvard Art Museums and the Cooper Gallery at Harvard University and the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art in Atlanta\, and has a solo exhibition at the New Orleans Museum of Art (opening in October 2018). Additionally\, Viktor has engaged in critical talks and panels at the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art in Washington\, D.C.\, New York University\, the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London\, and King’s College in London.\n\nSupported by University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA).

In the late nineteenth century\, the medical profession attributed rising rates of insanity among African Americans to their emancipation and migration to urban areas. In the 1960s and 1970s\, the National Institute of Mental Health became preoccupied with the psychological dimensions of the “urban crisis.” This talk will explore the efforts by the NIMH\, as well as grassroots activists\, to address the mental health needs of inner city residents in the postwar period. In doing so\, it will encourage a rethinking of the conventional wisdom about the relationship between African Americans and psychiatry.\n\nMartin Summers is associate professor of history and African and African Disapora Studies at Boston College\, where he regularly teaches courses on post-1865 US and African American history\; gender and sexuality in African-American history\; and medicine and public health in the African diaspora. Summers’s current research project is a social and cultural history of medicine that focuses on African-American patients at St. Elizabeths Hospital\, a federal mental institution in Washington\, DC. The project uses the hospital as a case study in which to explore the intersections of the historical process of racial formation\, medical and cultural understandings of insanity\, the exercise of institutional power\, and individual and collective agency. Summers’s research has been supported by the Ford Foundation\, the American Council of Learned Societies\, the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study\, and the National Humanities Center.\n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

In order to answer those questions\, they need some ability to extract meaning from the data they generate. Data science has recently risen to prominence for its abilities not only to extract this meaning\, but also to turn that meaning into actionable\, data-driven predictions. Combining HPC and data science can allow a researcher to more easily ask questions and discover answers leading to even deeper questions. However\, despite these benefits\, it can be difficult for full-time researchers to learn an emerging field with no guidance while still producing research.To reduce this barrier\, the Scientific Computing Student Club (SC2) presents the HPC and Data Science Workshop Series. For eight weeks in the Fall semester\, we will meet once a week to discuss HPC and Data Science topics\, focusing on how elements of HPC and data science can reinforce research and discovery. There will be no one instructor for this workshop\; instead we will have guest speakers from SC2\, ARC-TS\, MICDE\, and even MathWorks (MATLAB).

A movie that tells a story that you have never heard…\n\n“In a Better World”\n\nAnton is a doctor who commutes between his home in an idyllic town in Denmark\, and his work at an African refugee camp. In these two very different worlds\, he and his family are faced with conflicts that lead them to difficult choices between revenge and forgiveness. Anton and his wife Marianne\, who have two young sons\, are separated and struggling with the possibility of divorce. Their older\, ten-year-old son Elias is being bullied at school\, until he is defended by Christian\, a new boy who has just moved from London with his father\, Claus. Christian’s mother recently lost her battle with cancer\, and Christian is greatly troubled by her death. Elias and Christian quickly form a strong bond\, but when Christian involves Elias in a dangerous act of revenge with potentially tragic consequences\, their friendship is tested and lives are put in danger. Ultimately\, it is their parents who are left to help them come to terms with the complexity of human emotions\, pain and empathy. – Rotten Tomatoes\n\n*This event is funded by Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion and Office of Student Affairs.\n\n**Dinner will be served.
