SUMMARY:Exhibition:she was here\, once
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nIn 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).\n\nThe 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.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.\n\nAccessibility: 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.\n\nContact Heidi Bennett\, IRWG Event Planner (heidiab@umich.edu) with questions about this exhibition.\n\nCosponsors: Department of Women's Studies\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, Department of English\, Art History\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Center for the Education of Women+

SUMMARY:Exhibition:True to Life: Film Director Nancy Savoca’s Quest for Authenticity
DESCRIPTION:Filmmaker Nancy Savoca aims to be as authentic as possible. Her films are brilliant\, intimate portraits that explore the weight of social institutions and social injustice placed upon the shoulders of her characters. Her lead characters\, typically women\, must balance their needs with those of others in order to find their true voice. This U-M student-curated exhibit is the result of a semester-long course devoted to her films and career.\n\nSavoca contributed her papers — spanning her career as a director\, producer\, and screenwriter — to the Screens Arts Mavericks & Makers collection at the U-M Library. Her archive represents nearly three decades of indie filmmaking\, and includes notes\, notebooks\, photos\, and script drafts.\n\nSee the symposium schedule for Character Driven: Exploring the Career and Archives of Nancy Savoca: https://www.lib.umich.edu/announcements/symposium-celebrates-filmmaker-nancy-savoca

SUMMARY:Presentation:Ph.D. Defense: Jared Houghtaling
DESCRIPTION:Molecular diagnosis has proven to be a powerful tool for early detection of neurodegenerative disease\, but research in this field is still relatively nascent. In Alzheimer’s Disease specifically\, levels of microtubule associated protein tau and amyloid-beta1-42 in cerebrospinal fluid are becoming reliable pathological indicators. The current gold standard for detecting these biomarkers is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay\, and while this method has a limit of detection on the order of pg mL-1\, it lacks the ability to provide information about aggregation extent and structure on a per-protein basis. From a disease standpoint\, neurological pathologies are often extremely complex in their biological manifestation\, and precise mechanisms for many of these diseases are still being discovered and revised. A thorough understanding of in situ structure and properties of neurological disease-related proteins would likely help clarify some of these complicated mechanisms. Resistive-pulse methods may be useful in this effort\, as they can determine specific biomarker concentrations and can also unveil multiple physical qualities of single proteins or protein aggregates in an aqueous sample. The latter capability is critical and could allow for both earlier diagnoses and a stronger mechanistic understanding of neurological disease progression.\n\nThe work presented in this dissertation\, therefore\, represents broad efforts toward developing a nanopore-based system able to characterize amyloids and protein complexes related to neurodegenerative disease. These efforts range from upstream fabrication and characterization of nanopores in synthetic substrates to downstream techniques for optimizing the accuracy and efficiency of analyses on resistive pulses. Single proteins rotating and translating while tethered to the surface of a nanopore provide rich information during transit through the pore that makes it possible to determine their ellipsoidal shape\, volume\, dipole moment\, charge\, and rotational diffusion coefficient in a time frame of just a few hundred microseconds. This five-dimensional protein fingerprint\, however\, requires chemical modification of each protein and is thus not ideal for studying protein dynamics or transient protein complexes\, both of which are relevant when characterizing amyloids. Transitioning to low-noise nanopore substrates and high-bandwidth recordings enables label-free identification and quantification of unperturbed\, natively-folded proteins and protein complexes in solution – no chemical tags\, tethers\, or fluorescent labels are needed. Such a transition is nontrivial\; proteins passing uninhibited through the strong electric field inside of a nanopore rotate and translocate rapidly\, posing a challenge to time-resolve their various orientations adequately while circumventing adhesion to nanopore walls. Furthermore\, during their translocation through the nanopore\, untethered\, native proteins diffuse laterally\, generating asymmetric disturbances of the electric field and larger-than-expected resistive pulse magnitudes. Known as off-axis effects\, these latter phenomena add a noise-like element to the electrical recordings. We evaluate\, both computationally and experimentally\, the influence of such label-free complications on resulting parameter estimates\, and place these results in the context of developing future iterations of nanopore-based protein sensors.\n\nIn light of the spectacular recent success of nanopore-based nucleic acid sequencing\, it is likely that the next frontier for nanopore-based analysis is the characterization of single proteins and\, in particular\, the characterization of protein aggregates such as amyloids. The experiments and results presented here enable future particle-by-particle analysis of amyloids with nanopores to rapidly reconstruct their heterogeneity in size and shape\, both of which are correlated with the neurotoxicity of amyloid samples and are being investigated as biomarkers for neurodegenerative disease.\n\nCo-Chairs: Michael Mayer and David Sept

SUMMARY:Other:Dissertation Defense: Just-In-Time Adaptive Interventions: Experiment\, Inference and Online Learning
DESCRIPTION:The use and development of mobile interventions are experiencing rapid growth. Ideally\, mobile devices can be used to provide treatment/support whenever needed and to adapt treatment to the context of the user. Just-in-time Adaptive Interventions (JITAIs) are composed of decision rules that map a user’s context (e.g.\, user's behaviors\, location\, current time\, social activity\, stress and urges to smoke) to a treatment that is delivered to the user via the mobile device in near real-time.  Advancements in mobile health engineering and technology (e.g.\, passive stress sensing) continue to bring us closer to being able to provide interventions in this way.  However\, a number of important gaps in data science must be addressed before mobile devices can be used to deliver on the promise of JITAIs.  First\, there is a need for experimental designs to collect data that can be used to assess the effectiveness of the sequence of treatments delivered by a mobile device on health outcomes in order to support the development of JITAIs.  Second\, there is a need for data-driven methods to inform the construction of efficacious JITAIs.  In the vast majority of currently deployed JITAIs\, the decision rules underpinning JITAIs are formulated using domain expertise and clinical experience\, with very limited use of data evidence.\n\nIn this dissertation\, we make several contributions by tackling the above mentioned data science barriers to effective JITAI development in mobile health.  First\, we propose a micro-randomized trial (MRT) design and develop the primary analysis for assessing the proximal causal effect of treatments.  In addition\, we develop stratified micro-randomized trials for the setting where there is a time-varying\, discrete variable and the primary analysis focuses on how the effectiveness of interventions changes with this variable. We also develop a novel algorithm to design randomization scheme for this setting when there is an average constraint on the number of times interventions that should be sent in a certain time interval.   Second\, we develop a semi-parametric model to estimate the long-term average of health outcomes that would accrue should a given JITAI be followed. We derive asymptotic theory for the consistency and asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator. Third\, we develop an online learning algorithm that continuously learns and improves the JITAI as the data is collected from the user. The proposed algorithm introduces a proxy of future outcomes based on a dosage variable to capture the delayed effect of sending the interventions due to the treatment burden.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Special HEP-Astro Seminar | Searching for Dark Matter from the Lowest to the Highest Energies
DESCRIPTION:Dark Matter (DM) is a long standing puzzle in fundamental physics and goal of a diverse research program. In underground experiments such as LZ we search for DM directly using lowest possible energy thresholds\, at the LHC we seek to produce dark matter at the very highest energies\, and using telescopes we look for telltale signatures in the cosmos. All these detection methods probe different parts of the possible parameters space with complementary strengths. I will present current DM searches\, their connection and how an interdisciplinary program bridging different experimental frontiers can achieve optimal sensitivity. Finally\, I will highlight recent theoretical and experimental developments and the near term discovery prospects in upcoming experiments.

SUMMARY:Performance:Two Troubadours: An Intimate Evening with Laith Al-Saadi & Jimmy Vivino
DESCRIPTION:These 2 kindred souls first met in 2009 in Southern California and immediately realized there was something special when they collaborated. We are so pleased to bring this special show to the Ann Arbor Ark for a personal\, up-close experience with two virtuoso guitarists and singer/songwriters with encyclopedic knowledge of American Roots music and Classic Rock & Roll. \n \nVivino is best known as bandleader for Conan O’Brien\, member of the Fab Faux\, Levon Helm Band & many other musical endeavors including collaborations with legends such as Dion\, John Sebastian & Al Kooper... \n \nAl-Saadi is an Ann Arbor native who as been known regionally for years as a bandleader and garnered national/international fame as a finalist on NBC’s ‘The Voice’ in 2016. His album “Real.” hit #1 on the iTunes Blues chart and stayed for over 5 weeks.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library
DESCRIPTION:A multi-venue exhibition of site-specific installations\, performances\, interventions\, and events by University of Michigan faculty\, staff\, and students\, Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is curated by Guna Nadarajan\, dean of the Penny W. 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. \n\nThe 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.\n\nBookmarks: 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.\n\n
