NUCLEAR IS ___________________________.#nuclearisThe word “nuclear” likely invokes a few specific mental images to the general public. Indeed, prior to receiving a full undergraduate education, even aspiring nuclear engineers may only be aware of a few applications and opportunities in the nuclear field. However, the applications of and opportunities within nuclear science and technology go much further than power generation. For example, the medical field has benefited greatly from advances in nuclear science and technology with nuclear-enabled tools for imaging, cancer treatments, and sterilization. Irradiating food offers protection from harmful microorganisms without compromising the quality of food. Nuclear science and technology provides tools to law enforcement and national security personnel to help identify threats and protect our communities. Of course, nuclear power generation is a major focus in education, research, and industry; and the successes and advances in this area are not to be overlooked.Professionals working in the nuclear industry often require skills and expertise beyond strictly nuclear science. Modeling and simulation analysts must learn and maintain computer coding skills. The nuclear power industry needs professionals that understand regulations in order to meet their strict requirements for safety. Additionally, the nuclear power industry is looking to those with an entrepreneurial spirit to bring new technologies to fruition that promise increased performance at a lower cost. The finances of nuclear power plants are unique in the energy production sector and require those with economic expertise to plan for the continued, financially successful operation of nuclear power plants.VCU has chosen to focus on the broad nature of nuclear science and technology with the theme “Nuclear is ________________.” Under this theme, the conference will explore the many opportunities accustomed to students within the nuclear science and technology realm. The theme will also encompass the many supportive activities, technologies, and experts in varied fields of nuclear science and technology. Obvious examples of the application of the theme include: “Nuclear is thermal-hydraulics.” or “Nuclear is neutronics.” or “Nuclear is nonproliferation.” Other, less obvious applications of the theme include: “Nuclear is cyber security.” or “Nuclear is health.” or “Nuclear is advocacy.” or “Nuclear is economics.”In addition, this theme allows VCU to explore the subtle and ubiquitous impacts of nuclear science and technology. For example: “Nuclear is making toast.” One out of every five pieces of bread used in making toast is toasted using electricity generated from nuclear power plants. Another example would be “Nuclear is fresh herbs and spices.” Almost every jar of dried herbs or spices sold in the U.S. has been irradiated to preserve its flavor and maintain longer shelf-lives. Demonstrating the successful and safe day-to-day use of nuclear science and technology represents an important nuclear advocacy tool that we will highlight throughout the conference.Additionally, the exciting new technologies that hold much promise for the nuclear industry will be represented by “Nuclear is entrepreneurship.” and “Nuclear is innovation.” Innovations in reactor designs, medical applications, and security tools will require those with the imagination and the business skills capable of launching new products and/or companies that fulfill the promise of an improved world. In contrast with the ubiquitous and mundane, successes in innovation and entrepreneurship represent the exciting and inspiring aspects of nuclear science and technology that will energize those students in attendance.

In Juliette Hemingway’s work, viewers can imagine the grumbling tones of a saxophone or the sharp lines of a trombone. The sound is inside the musicians. You may not know the details of their experience or understand it, but it's visceral. That is what jazz is in Hemingway's work. It is the instinctual part of her life that she gives to viewers as a visual excerpt: a life that revolves around healing, autism, creativity and awareness. Jazz and the blue-hued musicians give you a sense of the deep-rooted experiences of her son and what it is to live with autism, and for her, straining to look into his secret world. Hemingway is based in Aurora, Colorado.

she was here, once (April 8, 2019 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/59501 59501-14875211@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 8, 2019 8:00am
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

The mobility and displacement of the Black body, from port to holding cell, to ward and out, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain, otherness, power and triumph, "she was here, once" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.

In summer 2018, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement, sound, and solidarity, eight Black women and girls, wearing large needle felted wool masks, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).

The multi-layered piece has produced a short film, mini documentary, photography, and performance masks, on display in her solo exhibition, "she was here, once" in Lane Hall.

Lane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.

Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.

Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

"Blind House: Utopia and Dystopia in the Age of Radical Transparency," by collaborative artists Paloma Muñoz and Walter Martin, is a razor-sharp work that brings into question our ideals of house and home, privacy, and safety.

The exhibition combines photographs the artists have envisioned of houses without windows as well an actual glass house planned for the center of the gallery, revisiting the whole notion of a glass house as an example of sophistication, luxury, and modernism.

In a darkening an era of surveillance and the internet, for Martin and Muñoz, "Blind House" serves as "a metaphorical solution to the full on campaign against personal privacy." Read the artists' statement at http://myumi.ch/6wxbk

Clinical Science Brown Bag: Facial Reactivity to Sucrose in Infancy as an Early Indicator for Obesity Risk (April 8, 2019 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/59068 59068-14677944@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 8, 2019 9:00am
Location: East Hall
Organized By: Department of Psychology

In recent decades, obesity prevalence in the US remains high and has begun presenting earlier in the lifespan, with 10% of all children between birth and 2 years of age being categorized as high weight-for-length. Rapid weight gain (RWG) during infancy predicts greater risk of obesity, metabolic complications, and related medical problems throughout the lifespan. Despite these implications, underlying mechanisms of the infant that contribute to eating behaviors and weight status remain poorly understood. Individual differences in reward response may emerge very early in life and could underlie risk for RWG in infancy. A promising method for studying magnitude of reward in infants is through the analysis of well-established facial responses to sweet tastes (i.e. sucrose solutions) that indicate liking/pleasure. This study measured the frequency of liking-related facial responses to the delivery of sucrose solutions compared to water in 119 babies. Compared to prior research in small samples of newborns, the magnitude and range of facial responses to sucrose was reduced in older infants. Furthermore, this study did not find evidence that amplified facial responsivity to sucrose was predictive of RWG in the first 6 months of life.

Abstract

Since ancient times, randomization devices such as coin flipping have been widely adopted as means for making decisions. This study presents the first experimental test of coin flipping as a nudge to help resolve choice difficulty in the setting of charity giving. We conduct a field experiment in which potential donors were given the option of coin flipping to determine which of two similarly favourable charities to donate to. We find that the inclusion of the coin flipping option increases the donation rate by 20 percent. Laboratory experiments replicate the observed patterns and shed further light on the underlying psychological mechanism. More generally, our results point to the power of coin flipping as a nudge when people must make difficult choices.

Title: Explaining the Link between Ethnic-Racial Identity and School Belonging:
Social Competencies as Mediating Mechanisms

Abstract:
Adolescence is theorized to represent an important time for ethnic-racial identity (ERI) development (Umaña-Taylor et al., 2014). Empirical evidence has consistently revealed positive associations between having a clearer and more positive ERI and academic, psychosocial, and health outcomes (Rivas-Drake et al., 2014). Although relations between ERI and these outcomes have been investigated, little is known about the mechanisms that can explain them.

In alignment with ecological development frameworks (e.g., Bronfenbrenner, 1989), scholars have indicated that friends and school are important to the relation between ERI and adolescent outcomes (Rivas-Drake & Umaña-Taylor, 2019). It is possible that youth with greater ERI resolution (i.e., the sense of clarity about the meaning of one’s ethnic-racial group membership) are likely to have greater social competencies and be friends with greater social competencies, subsequently youth with greater social competencies and who are in networks of friends with greater social competences are more likely to feel that they belong in their school. The study that will be presented advances new knowledge regarding the role of social competencies as a mediating mechanism in the link between ERI resolution and students' school belonging.

Title: What’s in a friend? The role of friend group characteristics on the link
between ethnic-racial identity and academic adjustment.

Abstract:
Adolescence is a time of significant ethnic-racial identity (ERI) development—the meaning ascribed to one’s ethnic-racial groups and how it is maintained over time. For youth of color, this process has been found to be developmentally normative and linked to academic outcomes, such as school belonging. Little is known, however, of the extent to which social contexts shape this relationship over time. This presentation examines the role of one such highly salient context, school friend groups, which serve as significant sources of socioemotional and academic support throughout adolescence. Projects drawing from two longitudinal school-based studies will be presented that consider the potential role of three distinct friend group characteristics: aggregate ERI beliefs, ethnic-racial diversity, and relationship quality. Results indicate a promotive role of particular friend group characteristics, encouraging the consideration of youth’s developmental contexts in future research on positive ERI development and academic adjustment.

Etruscan State formation (April 8, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62649 62649-15416720@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 8, 2019 12:00pm
Location: School of Education
Organized By: Museum of Anthropological Archaeology

The Etruscans of first millennium BC central Italy are renowned for their artistic output, but what were the underlying processes of settlement and infrastructure that supported their political achievements? The lecture will provide the complementary evidence of state formation from regional survey and economy that allow comparison of Etruscan state formation with the classic studies from the Old and the New World. The lecture is based on Simon Stoddart's forthcoming book for Cambridge University Press: Power and Place in Etruria. The spatial dynamics of a Mediterranean civilisation. 1200-500 B.C. and more recent collaborative work.

Quantitative Biology Seminar | Dynamics of intermittent neural synchronization: observations, mechanisms, and functions (April 8, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59064 59064-14677939@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 8, 2019 12:00pm

Synchronization of neural activity in the brain is involved in a variety of brain functions including perception, cognition, memory, and motor behavior. Excessively strong, weak, or otherwise improperly organized patterns of synchronous oscillatory activity may contribute to the generation of symptoms of different neurological and psychiatric diseases. However, neuronal synchrony is frequently not perfect, but rather exhibits intermittent dynamics. The same synchrony strength may be achieved with markedly different temporal patterns of activity. I will discuss methods to describe these phenomena and will present the application of this analysis to the neurophysiological data in healthy brain, Parkinson’s disease, and drug addiction disorders. I will finally discuss potential cellular mechanisms and functional advantages of some of the observed temporal patterning of neural synchrony.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Using an interdisciplinary lens, the exhibit explores the heterogeneity in the contours of brown narratives among South Asians in the Midwest. Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.

This exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam, Osman Khan, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

HEP-Astro Seminar | Jet substructure at RHIC and the LHC (April 8, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62608 62608-15410179@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 8, 2019 4:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Department of Physics

In high energy proton-proton collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), high energy sprays of particles, called jets, are one of the most copiously produced final states. Jets form when a quark or gluon is produced in a scattering process, and because of confinement, these quarks and gluons nonperturbatively form a collimated spray of hadrons. While jets are one of the most frequently used objects in physics analyses at RHIC and the LHC, it was only recently realized that the structure of jets can probe a wide variety of physics at collider facilities. In this talk I will discuss the breadth of physics that can be probed by studying the constituents of jets, with a focus on recent results from the LHCb experiment.

Location: Institute For Social Research
Organized By: Center for Political Studies - Institute for Social Research

Dr. Shiraito is excited to host a weekly Monday evening hackerspace from January 21 until April 22. On April 22 only, hackers will meet at 2 pm.

Dr. Shiraito is available to assist with a variety of topics that include Bayesian statistics, parallel computing in R, OpenMP and Rcpp, web scraping using Python, working with high performance computing clusters (Flux, Beta, Hadoop, Cavium), and other computational methods. He hopes that participants will actively help each other where able. His goal is to create a productive and inclusive community for hackers to share expertise, assist each other in data-intensive projects, and enjoy peer-programming opportunities. Dr. Shiraito looks forward to hacking with you.

The goal is to foster a diverse and inclusive hacking environment in which attendees can benefit from each other’s expertise. To participate, hackers need to bring their own laptops and, ideally, have a chunk of code they are planning to work on unless they plan to assist and join others in their coding endeavors.

STS Distinguished Speaker. Race and Erasure: A People's History of the "Normal" Body (April 8, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58144 58144-14433275@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 8, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Science, Technology & Society

This talk explains how in the years after World War II, science leaders at the US National Institutes of Health set and expanded a second system to supply healthy people for human experiment, in addition to government-based arrangements to access people with restricted civil liberties. During the early 1950s, NIH aligned with private organizations from the major institutions of postwar America—religious groups, labor unions, universities, and civic organizations—to sign “procurement contracts” that allowed the organizations to send their healthy members to the NIH to live as “normal control” subjects of science experiments. In the process the US produced the legal possibility—and the living reality—of an enduring, large-scale civilian market for healthy human subjects. Yet this market for healthy humans had a distinctive feature. Because of the conventions of NIH research space and the demographics of the organizations with which the US government signed contracts, the Normals had one common trait: they all were White. As a result, the medical construct of “normalcy,” though officially race blind, was organized around White lives, a legacy that continues to inflect medicine with race-based discrimination and disparities.

Biosketch: Laura Stark is the author of Behind Closed Doors: IRBs and the Making of Ethical Research (Chicago, 2012), and is completing a book project on the lives of “normal control” research subjects at the US National Institutes of Health. The Normals: A People’s History will be published by University of Chicago Press. Her articles and book chapters explore the history of moral experience and the mind-body sciences in a global frame. Stark is Associate Professor at Vanderbilt University and is Associate Editor of the journal History & Theory.

LACS Lecture. On Marketing and Militarism: Demobilizing Guerrillas and Mobilizing Affect, Colombia and Propaganda in the Early Twenty-First Century (April 8, 2019 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62831 62831-15477383@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 8, 2019 5:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies

This talk explores the principle arguments in Alexander Fattal’s new book “Guerrilla Marketing: Counterinsurgency and Capitalism in Colombia” (University of Chicago Press, 2018) about the convergence of marketing and militarism in twenty-first century propaganda. The talk considers the Colombian government’s efforts to engage in a form of ‘brand warfare’ against members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the smaller guerrilla group, the National Liberation Army (ELN). Since 2007, the government has been working with the same advertising firm that stewards brands such as Mazda and RedBull in Colombia, to lure guerrillas out of the insurgency and transform them into consumer citizens. The ethnography critiques those efforts, pointing to problems that emerge when branding captures critical state functions, like waging a war.

Dr. Alexander L. Fattal is Assistant Professor in the Department of Film-Video and Media Studies at Pennsylvania State University. He is also a documentary artist whose creative and scholarly work focuses on the mediation of the Colombian armed conflict.

Hey MEEBS!

We will have our LAST SPEAKER for the semester this Monday. The speaker is Jacob Allgeier who teaches Coastal Ecology and Sustainability and Ecosystem Ecology. His research is interested in how human-induced changes alter how ecosystems function and the services that they provide. His research on fish and marine ecosystems is highlighted in this documentary (https://vimeo.com/111244382), so go check it out. It is a small documentary (18 min) on his work on artificial reefs in Haiti. Super-interesting! Don't miss this chance to meet Dr. Allgeier and learn about how we can take care of marine ecosystems. 

As always, there will be pizza and sodas. Come hang out with us.

Free Admission! First 100 viewers receive a free small popcorn and small drink voucher!

On April 8, 2019, the University of Michigan will take part in The Rebound’s campaign to create more inclusion in society. The acclaimed film The Rebound (76 mins) offers an insider’s perspective to adapted sports and the world of disability as it follows the underdog journey of the Miami Heat Wheels wheelchair basketball team in their quest for their first NWBA National Championship. The cameras don’t stop when the players leave the court: the film follows the athletes through daily life with a disability as they reach for new heights.

The film has been an official selection at more than twenty film festivals and fifty special screenings, received numerous awards, and has been piloted successfully in schools and university research studies. Critics say, “Here is a rare breed of documentary that often uses images instead of words to tell its story.” – Miami Herald and “you’ll never think about disabilities the same way again.” – No Film School.

The purpose of this event is to foster meaningful discussion around inclusion, celebrate the power of the thriving human spirit, and introduce the growing adaptive sports programming occurring at The University of Michigan, because #itsallabouthowyourebound.

Featuring a Q&A session with Ryan Martin, moderated by Dr. Feranmi Okanlami following the film.

Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, in partnership with the University of Michigan Library. The exhibition will be located in several locations within Shapiro Undergraduate Library, Hatcher Graduate Library, and the Art, Architecture & Engineering Library.

The continued proliferation of digital formats and systems for the embodiment, distribution, and delivery of knowledge increasingly displace the book as form. As a result, the spacial limitations of libraries are challenged. The value of the book and the function of the library demand cultural attention. In this moment, we ask ourselves: what is the future of the library? What is the future of the book? This exhibition seeks to instigate and showcase creative responses to the challenges to the book and the library in the forms we have inherited as well as to project ways of reimagining futures for/of books and libraries.

Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is supported by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, the University of Michigan Library, the University of Michigan Office for Research (UMOR), and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.
