Using terra-cotta sculpture clay\, Polenberg hand builds her ceramic animals\, seemingly bringing them to life. The face of each one-of-a-kind work of art expresses happiness\, surprise\, mischief\, or a free spirit. Every sculpture is glazed and fired many times\, building up a rich\, textured colored surface. Holding an MFA from the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design in ceramics and sculpture and a BA from the City University of New York in painting\, Polenberg widely exhibits her creative works in several media: ceramics\, paint\, graphite and pastel.

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well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE\, when it was completely superseded by Arabic.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.

For adipocytes\, key regulators of glucose and lipid metabolism\, the renewal rate is only 10% per year1. Using computational modeling\, quantitative mass spectrometry\, and single-cell microscopy\, we showed that cell-to-cell variability\, or noise\, in protein abundance acts within a network of more than six positive feedbacks to permit pre-adipocytes to differentiate at very low rates. This reconciles two fundamental opposing requirements: high cell-to-cell signal variability so that differentiation rates can be kept very low and low signal variability to prevent differentiated cells from de-differentiating. Higher eukaryotes can thus control low rates of near irreversible cell fate decisions through a balancing act between noise and ultra-high feedback connectivity.\n\nWe have since explored how the differentiation network functions in the physiological context where hormone inputs are known to oscillate. Intriguingly\, we found that a circadian signaling code is critical for restricting the rate of fat cell differentiation. Dysregulation of the circadian pattern of glucocorticoid oscillations by irregular feeding and sleep cycles\, by long-term hormone treatment\, or during metabolic diseases\, have all been shown to cause obesity. By using live\, single-cell imaging of the key adipogenic transcription factors CEBPB and PPARG\, endogenously tagged with fluorescent proteins\, we show that pulsatile circadian hormone stimuli are rejected by the adipocyte differentiation control system\, leading to very low adipocyte differentiation rates. In striking contrast\, equally strong persistent signals trigger maximal differentiation. We identify a network that combines fast and slow positive feedback loops as a unique regulatory motif that selectively suppresses differentiation for circadian pulse patterns. Furthermore\, we confirm in mice that flattening of daily glucocorticoid oscillations significantly increases the mass of subcutaneous and visceral fat pads. Together\, our study provides a molecular mechanism for why stress\, Cushing's disease\, and other conditions for which glucocorticoid secretion loses its pulsatility may lead to obesity.\n\nMary N.

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:52176-12520888@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:20181204T063013 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181206T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181206T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Staffworks Job Fair (over 50 positions available) DESCRIPTION:Staffworks will be using the Livonia Michigan Works (30246 Plymouth Road) for single-employer hiring events on Thursday\, December 6\; Thursday\, December 13\, and Thursday\, December 20 from 12pm-4pm on each day.

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. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

This talk asks how adult Japanese women working in Tokyo’s legal sex industry manage a problem central to their work: it is both uniquely lucrative and stigmatizing\, simultaneously opening up possibility at the same time that it is unmentionable. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork\, in this talk I explore how the sexual economy is always also a moral economy shaped by ideologies of whom or what women’s labor should be for. \n \nGabriele Koch is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Yale-NUS College. Her research examines how globalizing rights discourses intersect with longstanding histories of gender\, labor\, and care in urban Japan. She is currently completing a book manuscript\, entitled\, Healing Labor: Japanese Sex Workers and the Gender of the Economy.

This was very different from the rich Carolinian forests whose remnants we can see today in Lower Michigan. These earliest colonists were foragers adapted to harsh and rapidly changing environments\, determined to exploit their populations of caribou\, elk\, mammoth\, mastodon\, peccary\, and other animals. Both subsistence systems and human social system have been defined by the devoted efforts of generations of University of Michigan museum researchers and students\, and Michigan’s avocational archaeologists. In today’s talk\, LaDuke and Wright will summarize what we have learned about a formative step in the evolution of Late Glacial foragers based on recent excavations at the Palmer site\, ending with some predictions about the directions of future research.

She completed her Ph.D. in biophysics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as a Fulbright Fellow and then was a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow in the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Munich. In 2016\, she was granted an NIH Director’s New Innovator Award\, which allows her to pursue high-risk\, high-reward research developing tags for cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) and developing new technological and computational techniques to advance structural cell biology. In 2017\, she was named a Pew Scholar. \n\n\nAbstract: \n\nTo perform their function\, biological systems need to operate across multiple scales. Current techniques in structural and cellular biology lack either the resolution or the context to observe the structure of individual biomolecules in their natural environment and are often hindered by artifacts. Our goal is to build tools that can reveal molecular structures in their native cellular environment. Using the power of cryo-electron tomography (CET) to image biomolecules at molecular resolution in situ\, we are building tools to make compatible with\, and directly comparable to\, biophysical and cell biology experiments\, capturing the structural behavior of macromolecules in action under controlled conditions. I will show how we used these techniques to reveal the structure of LRRK2\, the greatest known genetic contributor to Parkinson’s disease\, and to reveal the molecular architecture of bacterial cells. \n\nLunch will be provided to attendees.

I will describe insights gained from over three decades of studying alarm calls and fear screams in marmots (which are large\, mostly-alpine\, ground squirrels) throughout the northern hemisphere. Fear screams are remarkably similar across taxa and they seem to be particularly evocative to many species. My studies of non-humans suggest that it is the noise and non-linearities in them that is what evokes negative emotions and heighted responses in those hearing them. I formalize this in ‘the non-linearity and fear hypothesis’ and discuss my tests of the hypothesis in studies of marmots\, birds\, film soundtracks\, and humans. The sound of fear is non-linear.

Please check the event site just before the event for viewing details.\n\nIn Automating Inequality\, Virginia Eubanks systematically investigates the impacts of data mining\, policy algorithms\, and predictive risk models on poor and working-class people in America. The book is full of heart-wrenching and eye-opening stories\, from a woman in Indiana whose benefits are literally cut off as she lays dying to a family in Pennsylvania in daily fear of losing their daughter because they fit a certain statistical profile. \"This book is downright scary\,” says Naomi Klein\, “but with its striking research and moving\, indelible portraits of life in the ‘digital poorhouse\,’ you will emerge smarter and more empowered to demand justice.” Join us for a lively discussion of this timely book!

The impact of nematicity and nematic uctuations on the high Tc superconducting phase is complicated\, however\, due to coexisence with long range magnetic order. I will discuss the evolution of physical properties\, including elastoresistance\, in the (Ba\,Sr)Ni2As2 substitution series\, a new electronic nematic system without magnetism or unconventional pairing. Our observation of a unidirectional charge density wave in the nematic phase of this series evokes comparisons to nematicity in cuprate superconductors\, and a strong enhancement of the superconducting transition temperature appears to be driven by nematic fluctuations\, establishing a promising route to higher superconducting critical temperatures.\n UID:58139-14428991@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58139 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181203T143749 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181206T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181206T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development Seminar DESCRIPTION:Having It at Hand: How Small Search Frictions Impact Bureaucratic Efficiency\n\nCan small search costs that constrain information acquisition and monitoring across the administrative hierarchy provide an explanation for poor bureaucratic performance in the developing world? In collaboration with the Indian Ministry of Rural Development and two state governments\, we conducted a field experiment in which a random sample of bureaucrats were provided access to an internet- and mobile-based management and monitoring platform for wage payments associated with the world's largest workfare program (MGNREGA)\, which suffers from serious payment delay problems. The platform lowered costs of accessing information about the status of pending payments and identifying subordinate employees who need to act. Our experiment also randomly varied which level of the administrative hierarchy had e-platform access – senior and/or intermediate managers. Overall\, we find delays are significantly reduced across all treatment arms in areas with worse pre-period delays. We also find that usage of the e-platform within a given level of the hierarchy is significantly impacted by whether the other level of the hierarchy receives concurrent access. The delay reductions achieved through usage of the tool point to the potential for service delivery improvements enabled by technology now widely available in capacity-constrained settings.

Malaria parasites face the same trade-off\, but their allocation of resources will have implications for disease severity and infectiousness. I will discuss how processes acting at different biological scales should shape the evolution of resource allocation in malaria parasites\, what this means for clinical and epidemiological outcomes\, and the extent to which subtle shifts in parasite life history traits may help them evade the effects of drugs.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/XGtoWmb5QPU UID:49657-11487542@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49657 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181206T181527 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181206T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181206T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Studies on student learning in a new organic chemistry curriculum designed to deepen understanding of reactivity and chemistry principles DESCRIPTION: Chemistry education research has revealed numerous challenges students face learning organic chemistry\, including barriers learning chemistry’s language\, interpreting\, rationalizing\, and predicting mechanistic processes and driving forces\, and limitations in curricula connecting organic chemistry to broader contexts.

The currents due to the relativistic electrons can generate huge\, dynamic fields within a laboratory plasma. Plasma dynamics in astrophysical plasmas are strongly impacted by magnetic field topology. However\, direct measurements of the outer space plasma conditions and fields are challenging\, so laboratory studies of magnetic dynamics and reconnection provide an important platform for testing theories and characterizing different regimes. The extremely energetic class of astrophysical phenomena - including high-energy pulsar winds\, gamma ray bursts\, and jets from galactic nuclei - have plasma conditions where the energy density of the magnetic fields exceeds the rest mass energy density (σ_cold = B^2/(μ_0 n_e m_e c^2) > 1\, the cold magnetization parameter). I will show experimental measurements\, along with numerical modeling\, of short-pulse\, high-intensity laser-plasma interactions that produce extremely strong magnetic fields (>100 T) in a plasma such that σcold > 1. The generation and the dynamics of these magnetic fields under different target conditions was studied\, and relativistic intensity laser-driven\, magnetic reconnection experiments were performed. I’ll describe how X-ray imaging allows the observation of the fast electron dynamics. Evidence of magnetic reconnection was identified by the plasma’s X-ray emission patterns\, changes to the electron spectrum\, and by measuring the reconnection timescales.

Finding herself shipwrecked off Illyria and believing her brother dead\, Viola disguises herself as a man and enters the service of Duke Orsino. The Duke believes himself in love with Olivia\, but Olivia is swiftly falling for the disguised Viola. In the meantime\, Viola is developing feelings for the Duke. When Sebastian (who is not dead) arrives in Illyria\, confusion reigns supreme. Unrequited love and mistaken identities abound as the foursome journey towards a joyous discovery. \n\nTwelfth Night\, written around 1601\, is one of Shakespeare’s richest plays. The show takes its title from the revelry following the twelfth day of Christmas\, bringing together romance and music in a tale full of folly (it is also the day the first production was performed). One of the most “modern” of Shakespeare’s plays\, the comedy’s themes about the fickleness of love\, the arbitrary nature of relationships\, and the re-thinking of sexuality all conspire with brilliant verse to push boundaries and look at the world upside down. Twelfth Night explores not only the nature of desire\, but how perception is clouded by desire\, and in turn\, explores the very nature of perception itself. What is the disguise and what is the truth\, is never absolutely certain\, and often in the eye of the beholder (hence the play’s subtitle\, What You Will). As Feste\, the play’s clown says\, “that which is so is not so.” The production puts a twentieth-century twist on the story\, framing the action in a world inflected by the delightful sites and sounds of the 1930s.\n\n*Twelfth Night runs approximately three hours including one intermission.
