SUMMARY:Exhibition:Civitates Orbis Terrarum: Braun & Hogenberg’s Evolving World
DESCRIPTION:Civitates Orbis Terrarum (Cities of the World)\, the first standardized city atlas\, contains over 540 maps and views between its six volumes. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Football & Pets: Paper Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit of Steve Wirtz’ sculptures features a selection of his Dynamic Football series and animal works. The Dynamic Football laminated paper works explore compositions of action\, allowing the artist to exploit the properties of the medium. The pieces are constructed by gluing many layers of paper over wire armatures. When dry\, the sculptures are painted in an often splashy\, sketchy style. Wirtz’ silly animal works are what the artist is best known for\, and they take shape in his Goetzville\, Michigan studio.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2\n1500 E.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Oil on Water: Painting on Linen
DESCRIPTION:Danielle Eubank is an award-winning artist who has been on four international sailing expeditions and painted every ocean on the planet to raise awareness about the oceans and climate change. Her large paintings are emotive abstract portraits of specific bodies of water. The Oil on Water exhibition features Eubank’s oil on linen paintings of the Arctic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. She creates patterns within patterns\, representing vertical stacks of rhythms. The undulating forms\, such as water ripples\, oil slicks\, and refuse\, combined with the memories that water evokes\, makes her work eye-opening\, yet soothing and sensual. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1                                                                       \n1500 E.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Pen & Ink Queens
DESCRIPTION:Introverted and shy by nature\, Laura Cavanagh uses her art as an outlet to create humorous larger than life personalities. In Pen & Ink Queens\, Cavanagh draws inspiration from medieval and renaissance-era garments to adorn quirky\, queenly figures. Cavanagh works in a style that is hyper-detailed and intricate\, so she remains present during the creative process. A true Michigander\, Cavanagh was born and raised in Southeast Michigan\, attended U-M\, and currently works in Detroit. Cavanagh makes a concerted effort to exhibit as much as possible in her home state\, and when she is not in her studio\, you can find her cooking\, practicing yoga or playing with her cat\, Benji.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2\n1500 E.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ваза: Copper & Brass Vessels
DESCRIPTION:Victoria (Vika) Bulgakova grew up in Ukraine\, a part of the former Soviet Union. 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. Each vessel potentially holds something within its boundaries\, whether tangible or not. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1\n1500 E.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Graffiti as Devotion along the Nile: El-Kurru\, Sudan
DESCRIPTION:Ancient graffiti provide a unique glimpse into the lives of individuals in antiquity. Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Other Crusoes\, Other Islands: Mapping a Complex Legacy
DESCRIPTION:On the 300th anniversary of the publication of The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe\, of York\, Mariner\, this exhibit interrogates the troubled legacy of Daniel Defoe’s seminal English novel. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibition: Blood Underwater
DESCRIPTION:Water\, as a natural resource\, has been weaponized or made treacherous against people seeking safety and security. Some have been tortured or killed through waterboarding\, others have been forced into oceans to die or disappear. Refugees across world regions have drowned crossing bodies of water in hopes for a better life. \n\nMillions of people all over the world are being tortured\, disappeared\, and forcibly displaced by repressive regimes and wars while governments of other countries are denying them a safe place to live. There are now as many as 1.3 million survivors of politically motivated torture survivors living in the U.S. And over 70 million refugees in the world according to the United Nations Refugee Agency\, the highest number in the almost 70 years since the refugee agency was founded.\n\nDuring this time of rapid political change worldwide\, the Blood Underwater Workshop and Exhibition offers an opportunity for students\, activists\, members of civil society organizations\, and NGOs to come together as change agents to protect human rights\, freedom and dignity\, and to spread peace\, justice and love.\n\nBlood Underwater is a collaborative work\, which encourages deep thinking and creative expression. It provides a voice for community members and activists\, especially from political\, national\, racial\, religious and other minorities\, to express their concerns about global suffering through art. Participants gather around a large canvas with paints and music and are guided through a series of artistic expressions by “artivist” Elshafei Dafalla. The purpose is to use art to protest against violence\, torture\, enforced disappearances and other forms of brutality.\n\nBlood Underwater is a demand for “freedom\, peace and justice” -- from San Salvador to Khartoum to Sindh -- and throughout the world. This visual narrative will recognize men and women who have been murdered because they wanted to live in freedom\, political prisoners\, people forced from their homes\, and those who have been tortured for standing up to dictatorships.\n\nThe Blood Underwater artwork narrative will connect participants to one another\, and to refugees\, asylum seekers\, political prisoners and others who have already died or are currently suffering in their own countries or in new lands. This collaboration and new knowledge will enable participants to reflect together about global suffering\, and what can be done about it.\n\n-------\nEishafei Dafalla received a Bachelor of Arts in Sculpture from the College of Fine and Applied Art at the University for Science and Technology in Khartoum\, Sudan as well as a Diploma in Folklore from the Afro-Asian Institute at the University of Khartoum. He earned a Master of Fine Arts from the Stamps School of Art and Design at University of Michigan. Dafalla has participated in more than fifty exhibits worldwide\, and his work is part of public and private collections in Africa\, Asia\, the Middle East\, Europe and the United States. He continues to lecture and to exhibit his work\, holding artist residencies\, participating in community building activities\, and creating performative installation events around the U.S. and internationally. An extended interview with Dafalla was created by the Washington DC-based\, nonprofit\, Center for Concern. \n\nThe exhibition will be on display November 4-22\, M-F\, 10am-5pm\, at the Residential College Art Gallery at 701 East University Ave.\, Ann Arbor MI 48109. Free and open to the public. \n\nThere will be an opening reception for Blood Underwater with Elshafei Dafalla in attendance on November 1 from 6-8pm\, and refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Literature in Fragments: Lost Greek Works at Michigan
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit presents a selection of such fragmentary literary texts from the University of Michigan’s Papyrology Collection. 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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Nature a Moment: Visions of the World from Three Korean-American Artists
DESCRIPTION:Three Chicago-area Korean-American artists render deeply personal interpretations of the natural world in the exhibit “Nature a Moment” at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. 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.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Outdoor Sculpture on U of M Campus
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan has a distinguished collection of outdoor sculpture consisting of over 50 major pieces. The collection began in the earliest days of the campus\, but the majority of the works were acquired since the late 1960’s.\n\nDuring his 37-year tenure as University Planner\, Fred Mayer worked directly with many of the artists on the development and siting of their works. In this presentation Mr. Mayer will trace the history of the collection and share anecdotes and personal experiences working with the artists. He will also discuss the relationship between the individual pieces and the broader area of campus planning.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ripple Effect
DESCRIPTION:Ripple Effect is an interactive art exhibition that visualizes local water quality data through sound\, light\, and water. Through software technology\, water contamination data is translated into sound waves.\n\nThe installation consists of speakers that play the ‘data sound tracks’\, which vibrate the water held in attached trays. The sonic vibrations create unique patterns to emerge in the water\, known as water cymatics. Participants hear and see the water vibrate based on the chemical concentrations in their water samples. \n\nRipple Effect travels to communities that neighbor resource extraction activity and aims to transform the way people understand their data in relation to their environment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? 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\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics:
DESCRIPTION:In the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 60s and 70s\, artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mari Katayama
DESCRIPTION:Japanese artist Mari Katayama (born 1987) features her own body in a provocative series of works combining photography\, sculpture\, and textile. Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, the University of Michigan CEW+ Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Department of Asian Languages and Cultures\, and Women's Studies Department.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Walter Oltmann
DESCRIPTION:Infant Skull II\, a woven “tapestry” made out of very fine aluminum wire\, only reveals its shape when seen from afar. Drawing inspiration from his country’s basketry traditions\, the South African artist Walter Oltmann (b. 1960) alternates densely layered sections with open spaces\, allowing the underlying surface of the work to show through. The skull that emerges is\, in a South African context\, evocative of the Cradle of Humankind—a series of caves outside Johannesburg\, where some of the oldest hominin fossils in the world have been found.\n \nThe work complements UMMA’s renowned and growing collection of historical and contemporary African art and reminds us of the central role of Africa in the history of humankind. The purchase was made possible thanks to the generosity of UMMA Director's Acquisition Committee.\n\nThis acquisition was made possible by the generosity of the UMMA Director's Acquisition Committee\, 2016.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Take Your Pick: Collecting Found Photographs
DESCRIPTION:Come help build our collection of “ordinary” American 20th-century photographs.\n \nTake Your Pick invites you—the Museum’s visitors—to select photographs for our permanent collection. What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  \n \nVote for your favorite pictures: Saturday\, September 21\, 2019 – Sunday\, January 12\, 2020 Final selections on view: Tuesday\, January 14 – Sunday\, February 23\, 2020\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Department of Film\, Television\, and Media.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Brown Bag Seminars | \"Fundamental Physics with Supernovae and Superconductors\"
DESCRIPTION:In the first part of this talk I will describe how type 1a supernovae (SN) can be used to constrain the interactions of heavy dark matter (DM)\, which may heat a white dwarf (WD) sufficient to trigger runaway fusion and ignite a SN. Based on the existence of long-lived WDs and the observed supernovae rate\, we constrain ultra-heavy DM candidates that produce high energy SM particles in a WD. This rules out supersymmetric Q-ball DM in parameter space complementary to terrestrial bounds. We also constrain DM which is captured by WDs and forms a self-gravitating DM core. Such a core may form a black hole that ignites a SN via Hawking radiation\, or which causes ignition via a burst of annihilation during gravitational collapse. It is intriguing that these DM-induced ignition scenarios provide an alternative mechanism of triggering SN from sub-Chandrasekhar mass progenitors. In the second part of the talk\, I will present a new technique which utilizes superconducting RF cavities to significantly improve the sensitivity of \"light shinning through walls\" searches for axion-like particles (ALPs). Our design uses a gapped toroid to confine the static magnetic field responsible for axion-photon conversion\, and thereby prevent quenching of the superconducting cavities . Such a search has the potential to probe axion-photon couplings to g ~ 2 x 10^-11 GeV^-1\, comparable to future optical and solar searches.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Medieval Lunch. A Mediterranean Ecumene: Intellectual Contacts and Networks in the Late Medieval Mediterranean.
DESCRIPTION:The Turkish Mediterranean lived and breathed with the same rhythms as the Christian\, that the whole sea shared a common destiny\, a heavy one indeed\, with identical problems and general trends if not identical consequences. \n—Fernand Braudel\, The Mediterranean \n\nHis theoretical concerns aside\, Braudel’s conceptualization of the Mediterranean in the sixteenth century was based on geography\, economy\, and society in a path-breaking way. This presentation proposes a cultural and intellectual oecumene within the Eastern Mediterranean basin in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Although it seemed politically divided\, the Eastern Mediterranean’s idiosyncratic commonalities within its intellectual context transcended all boundaries that were imagined in political spheres\, including those of the Byzantines\, Mamluks\, and Ottomans as well as the Renaissance Italians.\n\nThis presentation will investigate the activities and oeuvre of scholars in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries\, and their networks across the Mediterranean. In line with this purpose\, I will focus on three scholars\, Gemistus Pletho (d. 1452)\, Abd al-Rahman al-Bistami (d. 1455)\, and Bedreddin of Simavna (d. 1420) who were representative of those complex and multivalent networks as well as members of clandestine scholarly organizations. While mapping out their scholarly network\, this presentation also hopes to point to a textual relationship through intercommunal discussions\, especially that between Platonism and Aristotelianism. In doing so\, it aims to offer fresh insights on intellectual history that go beyond limitations imposed by traditional methodologies\, unquestioned genres\, and undisputed literary and linguistic traditions.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Social Area Brown Bag:  Does a healthy body come with a healthy brain? An exploration with the functional connectivity of the whole-brain network
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nAn ancient Latin phrase said “Mens sana in corpore sano”\, which translates to “a healthy mind in a healthy body”. Consistent with this wisdom\, social scientists have shown that poverty and other adversities in life often lead to worse physical health as well as impaired cognitive performances. Similarly\, aging is linked to deteriorating physical health and cognitive decline. Physical exercise\, on the other hand\, often improves cognition. So far\, however\, the nature of this link between the body and the brain is underexplored. In this talk\, I will present our recent research examining if biological health risk is associated with functional connectivity of the resting state whole-brain network. Results and implications of the findings will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Speaking American English
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking to increase confidence in your use of American English? The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!\n\nOur certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients\, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction\, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.\n\nThe workshop will run from October 16 to December 18\, 2019. Participants will meet weekly on Wednesdays. The time is TBD. There will be no meeting on November 27. The program cost is $275.00\, plus the purchase of Mastering the American Accent by Lisa Mojsin.\n\nIf you have questions\, need assistance\, or want more information\, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Veterans Week - Suicide Prevention in Veteran and Military Service Members
DESCRIPTION:The rate of suicide was 2.2 times higher among female veterans than their civilian counterparts.  The suicide rate is 1.3 times higher among male veterans than their civilian counterparts.  The suicide rate is highest for those between the ages of 18-35 and those over 55.  An estimated 22 veterans kill themselves every day.\n\nWith those alarming and disturbing statistics in mind\, come and learn what the Ann Arbor VA is doing to lower the rate of suicide attempts and suicides among the veterans that it sees.  Also we will discuss steps the Ann Arbor VA is taking to reach more veterans and military families that are in critical need of mental health care to try to reduce the risk of suicide.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EER Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:As the data tsunami washed over everything including college campuses\, universities invested heavily in data management systems and then layered on services to create the highly digitally-engineered environments in which we work today. Within that context\, I’ll review the seeding and ongoing nurturing of two U-M services (Atlas and Problem Roulette) that share common themes of access and transparency. As examples of research enabled by these services\, I’ll present evidence showing that: (i) on average\, females study more for less reward in STEM subjects than male students\, and (ii) increased selectivity\, as measured by ACT/SAT scores\, is a minor factor driving undergraduate grades upward. The talk will close by inviting your thoughts and discussion on potential future directions for these and similar services.\n\nBIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: Prof. August E. (Gus) Evrard is a first-generation computational cosmologist and an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor in the Departments of Physics and Astronomy at U-M. Author of the first algorithm to enable multi-fluid simulation of galaxy and large-scale cosmic structure formation\, Prof. Evrard's research is focused on understanding the population of clusters of galaxies\, the rarest and largest gravitationally bound systems in the universe. Named a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2012\, his research is documented in over 200 refereed papers with 22\,000 total citations. Within the Office of Academic Innovation he leads two separate projects\, one offering visual summaries of Michigan's recent academic landscape (Atlas) and another providing “points-free” study support using local exam content (Problem Roulette). Both are used by thousands of students each year at U-M.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MIPSE Seminar | Substorms\, Dipolarization\, and Particle Acceleration in the Magnetosphere
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nMagnetosphere plasma dynamics continue to challenge our understanding of energy release in the near-earth environment. Magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD)\, particle-in-Cell (PIC)\, and test particle simulations are used to describe the dynamic evolution of the magnetotail\, associated with substorms (energy releases from the magnetotail) and other dipolarization events. Simulations show the formation of thin current sheets embedded in the wider plasma sheet due to solar wind interactions. PIC then demonstrates the onset of tearing instabilities and magnetic reconnection\, causing fast plasma flows and dipolarization. These phenomena are then followed by MHD simulations which form the basis of test particle simulations\, which pro-vide details on acceleration mechanisms\, and phase space distributions. Results compare favorably with THEMIS and MMS observations.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nJoachim Birn received his PhD. in 1973 at the Technical Univ. Berlin studying the Stability of the Planetary System. From 1973-82 he was at Ruhr-University Bochum working on equilibrium modeling and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the Earth’s magnetotail. In 1980 he was a visitor at Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL)\, where he extended his 2D MHD code to 3D\, simulating substorm dynamics of the magnetotail. From 1982 to 2012 he was at LANL continuing his simulation work\, working on satellite data interpretation and studying acceleration of ions and electrons in magnetospheric substorms. Since 2012 he is a Senior Research Scientist at the Space Science Institute in Boulder. Birn’s research experience includes 3D equilibrium theory\, development of 3D MHD codes with applications to magnetotail and solar corona dynamics\; and MHD stability theory on which he has published 260 refereed papers. Birn is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and LANL Fellow.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | KOTO: The Search for the Elusive K_L → πνν
DESCRIPTION:The KOTO experiment at J-PARC aims to help explain why we live in a matter dominant universe. It is believed that Charge-Parity (CP) violation is critical in this asymmetry\, and studying where new CP violation can enter beyond the predictions of the Standard Model (SM) is an exciting frontier for discovering new physics.\n\nThe KOTO experiment was designed to observe and study the 𝐾_L → 𝜋𝜈𝜈 decay. The Standard Model (SM) prediction for the mode is 3.0 x 10^{-11} with a small theoretical uncertainty [1]. A previous experimental upper limit of 2.6 x 10^{-8} was set by the KEK E391a collaboration [2]. The rare “golden” decay is ideal for probing for physics beyond the standard model. A comparison of experimentally obtained results with SM calculations permits a test of the quark flavor region and provides a means to search for new physics.\n\nThe signature of the decay is a pair of photons from the π^0 decay and no other detected particles. For the measurement of the energies and positions of the photons\, KOTO uses a Cesium Iodide (CSI) electromagnetic calorimeter as the main detector\, and hermetic veto counters to guarantee that there are no other detected particles.\n\nKOTO’s initial data was collected in 2013 and achieved a similar sensitivity as E391a result [3]. Since then\, we completed hardware upgrades and had additional physics runs in 2015\, 2016- 2018\, and earlier this year. This presentation will present the motivation for this study\, new results from KOTO [4]\, and discuss the status of the ongoing search in detecting 𝐾_L → 𝜋𝜈𝜈.\n\n[1] C. Bobeth\, A. J. Buras\, A.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Department of Computational Medicine & Bioinformatics Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title:  Reproducibility with high-dimensional data\n\nAbstract:  With the expanding generation of large-scale biological datasets\, there has been an ever-greater concern in understanding the reproducibility of discoveries and findings in a statistically reliable manner.  We review several concepts in reproducibility and describe how one can adopt a multiple testing perspective on the problem.  This leads to an intuitive procedure for assessing reproducibility.  We demonstrate application of the methodology using RNA-sequencing data as well as metabolomics datasets.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Medical Ethics on the Border: A Look at Immigration Detention
DESCRIPTION:The community is invited to join the Michigan Medicine Department of Psychiatry for the 24th Annual Waggoner Lecture on Ethics & Values in Medicine. The title of this year’s talk is “Medical Ethics on the Border: A Look at Immigration Detention.” The talk will be presented by Pamela K. McPherson\, M.D.\, FAPAon Wednesday\, November 13 from 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. in Ford Auditorium at University Hospital.\n\nPamela K. McPherson\, M.D.\, FAPA is a medical doctor triple-boarded in general\, child and adolescent\, and forensic psychiatry. She is a child and adolescent psychiatrist at the Shreveport Behavioral Health Clinic\, a gratis assistant professor at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport\, and a mental health subject matter expert for the Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties at the Department of Homeland Security. Dr. McPherson focuses her research on the mental health of justice-involved youth as well as conditions of juvenile confinement\, and consults for the U.S. government and non-profits on mental health services for justice-involved youth.\n\nIn 2018\, she and colleague Dr. Scott A. Allen exposed the serious health risks to children who are separated from their parents and detained as part of the U.S. administration’s zero tolerance policy at the southern border. Learn more about their work from this CNN article published in May: These doctors risked their careers to expose the dangers children face in immigrant family detention.\n\n “We are delighted to welcome Dr. McPherson to our campus in November for this esteemed lectureship\,” said Debra A. Pinals\, M.D.\, clinical professor of psychiatry and director of the Program in Psychiatry\, Law and Ethics at U-M and chair of the Waggoner Lectureship Committee. “Dr. McPherson has incredible insight into the conditions of immigrants entering the United States. She could not be better suited to address our campus for this lecture devoted to medical ethics and values in medicine.”\n\nThe University of Michigan Department of Psychiatry established the Raymond W. Waggoner Lectureship on Ethics and Values in Medicine in 1996. This lectureship was created in honor of the late Dr. Waggoner\, emeritus professor and past chairman of the Department of Psychiatry\, who throughout his career and to all who knew him\, exemplified the highest standards of integrity and ethics.\n\nThe lectureship is an annual event to recognize Dr. Waggoner’s enormous contributions to the Michigan Medicine medical center and to the profession\, and to promulgate his interest in medical ethics.\n\nFor more information\, please contact:\n\nDebra A. Pinals\, M.D.\n\nClinical Professor of Psychiatry\n\ndpinals@med.umich.edu\n\nor\n\nSandra Bigler\n\nAdministrative Assistant Senior to Debra A.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Professor Valerie Kivelson\, the Thomas N. Tentler Collegiate Professor of History\, Inaugural Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Early modern Russia was an autocratic state ruled by a despotic tsar and a powerful Orthodox Church. Its population was largely illiterate. This combination of severely controlled expression and limited literacy makes it difficult to peer beyond official representations. Although harshly condemned by the authorities\, magical spells\, filled with dark poetry\, circulated widely. These spells offer a route to understanding how people of all social standings experienced and navigated life in a radically unfree and unequal society. Through the seemingly marginal economy of witchcraft\, we can see people accommodating to conditions of inequality and carving out paths to survival.

SUMMARY:Performance:Brendan James wsg Pete Muller
DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Ark\nBorn in New Hampshire\, Brendan James cut his artistic teeth in New York and is now based in Los Angeles. His piano-based songwriting style is influenced by artists of the 1970s (with more than a bit of Stevie Wonder) and by more recent artists such as Ryan Adams. Brendan released his debut full-length album\, \"The Day Is Brave\,\" on the Decca label in 2008 and a follow-up\, \"Brendan James\,\" two years later. He has been a headliner on the MTV Soundtracker tour and\, with Jason Reeves and Amber Rubarth\, on a tour sponsored by Vespa motor scooters on which he traveled along the West Coast on a Vespa to promote environmental awareness. He took an artistic hiatus and roared back stronger than ever. Since we saw him last\, Brendan has released a new EP\, \"Wish You Well\,\" and he has more new music on the way. Singer-songwriter (and investment banker and crossword puzzle maker) Pete Muller opens.
