First published in 1572 by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590)\, Civitates was first intended as a companion to Ortelius’s Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. New editions of the city atlas continued to be printed through 1617. Hogenberg\, one of the most prolific engravers of the time\, was joined by many other engravers in creating the Civitates. Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

A true Michigander\, Cavanagh was born and raised in Southeast Michigan\, attended U-M\, and currently works in Detroit.

She immigrated to the U.S. in 1994\, and for the next 22 years\, New York became her home. In 2016\, she moved to Michigan to pursue an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art. She found the raw beauty of Detroit inspiring and kept her metalsmithing studio practice in the city. The copper and brass vessels in her Ваза series and other included works are a meditation on fluidity of memories: their ability to shift from reflection to re-invention over time.

It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods. This includes lesser-known works by such famous authors as Aristophanes and the Greek tragedians\, as well as fragments of texts whose authors remain unknown.\n\nThe exhibit was curated by Allison Thorsen\, UMSI student\, and can be viewed during regular hours of the Special Collections Research Center:\nhttps://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-research-center UID:66701-16770232@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66701 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Free,History,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections Research Center, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191001T091151 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191014T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191014T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Melody of Nostalgia: Sand Tapete & Ofrendas for Día de los Muertos alongside works in acrylic on canvas DESCRIPTION:Visiting Artist Fulgencio Lazo will work with U-M students and community members to design and create two tapetes\, or carpets of colored sand for Mexican Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations.

Using woodcut\, painting on canvas\, and mixed media\, Linda Hyong\, Sung Eun Hong\, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers\, gardens\, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.\n\nLinda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers\, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like\, nearly abstract paintings\, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”\n\nExhibit runs September 14 through November 15\, 2019 at the\n\nUniversity of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens\, 1800 N. Dixboro Rd.\, Ann Arbor. Free.

Ansari\, Ph.D. DESCRIPTION:The Ansari group has pioneered the development of synthetic transcription factors (SynTFs) to control desired gene regulatory networks and guide cell fate choices. In a sense\, SynTFs could be viewed as chemical counterparts of the much larger CRISPR-Cas based gene regulators.\n\nIntegrating structure-guided design and chemical genomics\, the Ansari group created an exciting class of molecules that can rewire epigenetic states at targeted genomic loci. SynTFs designed to reverse repressive epigenetic marks have restored expression of genes whose deficiency causes incurable neuronal diseases such as Friedreich’s ataxia\, a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that has no effective therapy. More broadly\, SynTFs can be precision-tailored to understand and remedy a wide array of human diseases.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nAseem Z. Ansari is the R. J. Ulrich Chair of Chemical Biology and Therapeutics at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the founder of the Khorana and Bose Programs.\n\nAseem began his scientific career as a summer intern in the laboratory of Obaid Siddiqi at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) in Bombay. That experience led him to graduate studies in Chemical Biology at Northwestern University. Aseem completed his training postdoctoral training as a Helen Hay Whitney Fellow at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was also a resident tutor at the Winthrop House and member of the Board of Tutors in Biochemical Sciences at Harvard. The Ansari Lab works on devising synthetic gene switches that control the fate of human embryonic stem cells and correct gene regulatory networks in neurodegenerative diseases.

Despite the limited sequence similarity and vastly divergent reactions catalyzed\, the radical SAM enzymes appear to employ a common mechanism for initiation of radical chemistry\, in which a reduced [4Fe-4S]+ cluster provides the electron needed for the reductive cleavage of SAM. The amino and carboxylate groups of SAM bind to the unique iron of the catalytic [4Fe-4S] cluster\, placing the sulfonium of SAM in close proximity to the cluster. Surprising recent results have shown that the initial enzymatic cleavage of SAM generates an organometallic intermediate prior to liberation of 5’-dAdo•\, which initiates radical chemistry on substrate. This organometallic intermediate\, denoted \, has a 5’-deoxyadenosyl moiety directly bound to the unique iron of the [4Fe-4S] cluster via the 5’-C\, giving a structure that is directly analogous to Co-(5’-C) bond of the organometallic cofactor adenosylcobalamin. Our observation that this intermediate  is formed throughout the superfamily suggests that this is a key intermediate in initiating radical SAM reactions\, and further indicates that organometallic chemistry is much more broadly relevant in biology than previously thought. We have also discovered novel photochemistry in radical SAM enzymes\, wherein photoinduced electron transfer generates SAM-derived radicals\, providing new insights into fundamental radical initiation chemistry. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoan Broderick (Montana State University) UID:63729-15835122@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63729 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1400 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190925T105545 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191014T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191014T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:RNA Innovation Seminar\, Ailong Ke\, Cornell University DESCRIPTION:Ailong Ke PhD\, Professor\, Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics\, Cornell University\n\nAbstract: CRISPR-Cas serves as an RNA-based adaptive immunity system in prokaryotes. The diverse CRISPR systems can be categorized into two major classes and multiple types therein. Type I CRISPR-Cas (or CRISPR-Cas3) belongs to Class 1 and is the most prevalent CRISPR system found in nature. It features a sequential target-searching and degradation process. First\, the target-searching complex Cascade (CRISPR associated complex for antiviral defense) uses its guide RNA to find the complementary dsDNA target\, and opens a special structure called R-loop at the target site. Its helicase-nuclease fusion enzyme Cas3 is then specifically recruited to the Cascade/R-loop site to processively degrade long-stretches of double-stranded DNA nearby. I will give a comprehensive explanation of CRISPR-Cas3 based interference mechanism\, based on the high-resolution biochemistry and structural biology work from my lab. I will further explain CRISPR-Cas3 based genome editing applications\, and give perspectives on its therapeutic potential.

Approximately 100 Americans are shot to death each day and over twice as many are physically wounded. \n\nPPGV has been educating health professions to talk to patients about access to guns\, safe storage\, and helping them make decisions that facilitate optimal health and safety. Recognizing that the majority of gun deaths are due to suicide\, PPGV emphasizes the need to keep guns out of the hands of people with emotional\, substance related\, or mental health crises. PPGV also advocates for the passage of sensible gun reform legislation. \n\nIn this presentation for those 50 and over we will examine gun violence\, focusing on how particular populations such as women\, children\, communities of color\, and individuals struggling with mental health challenges are uniquely affected. We will examine the epidemiology of gun violence and outline some of the ways in which politics have become entangled with the pursuit of life saving interventions. We will describe how non-medical community members can have a major impact in raising awareness by inquiring about safe storage of firearms. We will also discuss selected state and federal gun violence related legislation and encourage attendees to contact elected leaders to advocate for bills to prevent gun violence. Finally\, we will open the conversation to course attendees as we examine the historical challenges faced in addressing gun violence and discuss opportunities to effect meaningful change.\n\nThis presentation by Sonya Lewis\, MD\, MPH will last two hours.
