The number of space objects larger than 10 cm is presently approaching 21\,000\, the estimated population of objects between 1 and 10cm is about 500\, 000\, and for objects smaller than 1cm the number exceeds 100 million. Both the number of space objects and the number of conflicts between these objects are increasing exponentially. \n\nThis talk overviews the research we have been pursuing on to address the challenges posed by the growth of space debris. We will first introduce the Modified Chebyshev-Picard Iteration (MCPI) Methods\, which are a set of parallel-structured methods for solution of initial value problems and boundary value problems. The MCPI methods have been recommended as the “promising and parallelizable method for orbit propagation” by the National Research Council. The talk will then highlight our recent results to develop a methodology to predict RSOs trajectories both higher accuracy and higher reliability than those of the current methods. Inspired by the learning theory through which the models are learnt based on large amounts of data and the prediction can be conducted without explicitly modeling space objects and space environment\, we are working on a new orbit prediction framework that integrates physics-based orbit prediction algorithms with a learning process. Last\, we will present our research in autonomous\, performance-driven\, and online trajectory planning and tracking of space robotics for space debris removal with the goal to solve the problem in real time.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nDr. Xiaoli Bai is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Rutgers\, The State University of New Jersey. She obtained her PhD degree of Aerospace Engineering from Texas A&M University.

Her sculptural works are infused with symbolism and metaphors in the forms of cages\, nests and butterflies. All works are made entirely of varying weights and types of paper\, including hanji (Korean traditional) and common coffee filters. Representing concepts of time\, memory\, openness and constraint\, the pieces are created with traditional methods\, using scissors and simple die-cutting tools\; cross-disciplinary techniques\, such as weaving and tatting used in fiber arts\; and technologies like laser cutting machines. There are two series of paper nests: one created entirely without the use of adhesive\, and the other involves tatting with knots. Viewers are encouraged to contemplate\, find meaning and ultimately – hope.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

A proud Midwesterner\, she splits her time between studios in Chicago and Pentwater\, Michigan. She is recognized for her ethereal paintings and sculptural installations. Finding the edge between intuitive and deliberate mark making\, Svoboda’s work is a meditation on the earth’s last places of quiet and untouched beauty. Challenging the viewer to rethink their responsibility to Mother Earth\, her collage works are intricate paintings layered to create sculptural works. These paintings are based on fractal geometry (infinitely unfolding terrains of self-similar shapes like those in living things. In 2015\, she received a Hemera fellowship to study Zen and calligraphy in Japan\, which continues to influence her work. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

An introvert by nature\, “space\,” and the preservation of personal space\, is immensely important to her. She encounters these spaces both indoors and out\, and she employs light and color to capture her emotional state relevant to the space. She works with oil and chalk pastel\, a medium that allows her to make tangible those moments that are fleeting and transitory. Cavanagh breaks down architectural elements into bold blocks of color\, creating an atmosphere of still quietude\, so critical to her creative process. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

After more than 20 years in the service and four tours in the Middle East\, he is now pursuing his passion in painting and 3D art. Lightheartedness\, quirkiness\, and a desire for freedom are his creatures’ main traits as they fly on nests\, sail on lakes\, or venture into outer space. Looking for autonomy on their way somewhere\, his boldly colored animal explorers\, tourists\, and misfits are uncaring about their surroundings and challenge expectations. They are out of their element due to circumstances beyond their control.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Lebanese artist Tania El Khoury\, and her art collective Dictaphone Group\, collaborated with a group of Syrian refugees who had recently arrived in Munich. El Khoury gave each of these participants/collaborators a discreet camera for a day\, their only instructions being to film their daily lives in Munich. Together they produced three videos\, presented in this installation and viewed from bunk bed barracks in the gallery. \n\n“As Far As My Fingertips Take Me” An intimate\, one-to-one performance piece\, presented in conjunction with UMS.\n\nFriday\, January 24 thru Sunday\, February 2\, performances take place every 15 minutes from 4-9 pm weekdays and 12-5 pm weekends.

As distinct from symbols\, indexes establish their meaning along the axis of a physical relationship to their referents.”\nKrauss\, Rosalind\, “Notes on the Index” 1977\n\nNotes on the Index was Rosalind Krauss’s attempt to corral some of the divergent\, pluralistic themes in contemporary art of the late 1970’s under a unifying identifier: the index. Indexical art was defined as artworks whose physical and aesthetic manifestation was correlated and contingent upon specific conditions of the work’s subject matter or\, as more broadly described\, ‘the referent’ of the work.\n\nUnder the guise of “the index”\, the artist’s internal monologue of creative decision-making might follow like: “How big should the work be? As big as that.” “How much should the work cost? As much as this.” “What color should I use? The color of that.” “What shape should it be? It should be shaped like this.”\n\nFor this exhibition\, The Indexical Print\, Krauss’s notion of indexical art is being narrowed towards printmaking and other methods of image replication & reproduction that follow printmaking’s lead. The artists in this exhibition might work a plate\, or a digital image\, or computer code to conduct the idea of the image into another medium or visual representation to physically manifest their creative labor. \n\nFeatured in this exhibition are prints by Jay Fox\, Ruth Koelewyn & Lee Marchalonis\, 3D printed sculptures by Jason Ferguson\, jacquard weaving from Cathryn Amidei\, data visualizations by Jeffrey Lancaster and site-specific paintings from Ellen Rutt.\n\nAbout the Artists:\n\nCathryn Amidei is a “Textilian” fluent in many forms of textile craft. She has dedicated herself to Jacquard weaving for the past 15+ years and is the studio director at The Jacquard Center in Hendersonville North Carolina. Cathryn holds an MFA in Textiles from Eastern Michigan University and a BFA from the University of Illinois in Anthropology/Russian. She was Associate Professor at Eastern Michigan University until 2018\, when she resigned to pursue her art\, and independence. Cathryn is a member of the Washington Street Gallery in Ann Arbor\, Michigan.\n\nJason J Ferguson uses humor\, the uncanny\, and an absurdist voice to create public interventions\, performance\, video\, and sculptural objects. He was raised in the small town of Poolesville\, Maryland and moved to Baltimore to study art at Towson University and then to the University of Delaware where he received his MFA. Ferguson has exhibited his work internationally including exhibitions in Germany\, the Netherlands\, Brazil and across the US. Ferguson is an Associate Professor in the School of Art & Design at Eastern Michigan University.\n\nJay Fox is a printmaker\, papermaker\, and sculptor whose practice is guided by storytelling and objects of importance which take the form of ephemera and memorials. Originally from Morganton\, North Carolina\, Fox received his BFA in printmaking from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008. In 2014\, he received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Print and Narrative Forms. Jay is currently the press manager of the Small Craft Advisory Press at Florida State University after five years of working at Penland School of Craft as the Print\, Letterpress\, Books\, and Paper coordinator.\n\nRuth Koelewyn's work uses familiar objects and events to reveal how our interactions with them shape ourselves and our context for living.

As the intersectionality of these factors have important implications for prevention and treatment of obesity\, it is important to investigate the nature by which feeding behaviors may be altered. Sigma 1 receptors have been investigated for their involvement in learning\, rewarding and motivational processes. PD144418\, a potent and selective sigma 1 ligand exhibiting a high affinity and selectivity for sigma 1 receptors\, has been found to produce a dose-dependent attenuation of locomotor activity induced by cocaine and methamphetamine. However\, it was unknown as to whether PD144418 could alter the motivational effort of food-reinforced operant behavior. The current talk will focus on examining the effects of PD144418 on motivational effort of food-reinforced operant behavior\, as well as variables of sex differences and energy deficit.

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 UID:58562-15784168@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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 UID:63803-15884170@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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 UID:68063-16988477@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Alumni,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190930T181751 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200123T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200123T170000 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.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

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.

Now\, however\, the fundamental conditions of the trilateral relationship are changing because of a shift in the balance of power\, a loss of confidence on American diplomacy\, US-China competition and the overwhelming importance of the Chinese economy. How will a change in the relationship between Japan\, the United States and China affect the order of Asia? What does improving Japan-China relations mean? Is the Japan-U.S. relationship still strong?\n \nRyo Sahashi is an Associate Professor of International Relations\, Institute for Advanced Studies on Asia\, the University of Tokyo.

To meet the needs of autophagic degradation\, it is critical to maintain sufficient numbers of lysosomes to fuse with autophagosomes that form autolysosomes. Lysosomal biogenesis is regulated by the transcription factor EB (TFEB)\, which is a master transcription regulator of lysosomal biogenesis and autophagy.\n\nStudies from our lab revealed that TFEB is impaired in alcoholic hepatitis and pancreatitis as well as in acetaminophen-induced liver injury. Overexpression of TFEB protects against alcohol and drug-induced tissue damage whereas deletion of TFEB exacerbates tissue damage. Studies from our lab also demonstrated that Nrf2\, a transcription factor regulating antioxidant response\, promotes liver injury and liver tumorigenesis in autophagy defective livers. More recently\, our work suggests that both hyper- and hypo-activation of MTOR are detrimental to the liver resulting in the development of liver tumors. Together\, our studies indicate that autophagy and lysosome play critical roles in maintaining liver homeostasis. Approaches to boost autophagy and TFEB pathways\, which are often impaired in chronic liver diseases\, may be promising for treating and preventing liver disease including alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases\, drug-induced liver injury and liver tumorigenesis.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nWen-Xing Ding is a professor in the Department of Pharmacology\, Toxicology and Therapeutics at The University of Kansas Medical Center. He received his Ph.D. from the National University of Singapore in 2002 and completed his postdoctoral training at the University of Pittsburgh. Ding has devoted his research career to elucidating mechanisms for regulation of cell death and the adaptive response to cellular injury in the liver. Since 2009\, his laboratory has been working on the role of autophagy in alcohol- and drug-induced liver injury. They are particularly interested in how autophagy selectively removes cellular damaged/excess organelles\, such as mitochondria and lipid droplets in hepatocytes. Ding has published more than 120 papers in peer-reviewed journals\, and his work is currently supported by NIAAA and NIDDK.\n\nIn addition to research\, Ding has demonstrated outstanding leadership for service. He has been a program committee member of ASIP (American Society of Investigative Pathology) and the AASLD (American Association for the Studies of Liver Disease) 2015 annual meeting. He organized several meetings and symposia for EB meeting\, AASLD and GRC. He serves as an associate editor for the journal Autophagy and an editorial board member for several journals\, including Hepatology\, Cell and the American Journal of Pathology.

Technoculture is the American mythos (Dinerstein 2006) and ideology\; a belief system powering the coercive\, political\, and carceral relations between culture and technology. Once enslaved\, historically disenfranchised\, never deemed literate\, Blackness is understood as the object of Western technical and civilizational practices. This presentation is a critical intervention for internet research and science and technology studies (STS)\, reorienting Western technoculture’s practices of “race-as-technology” (Chun 2009) to visualize Blackness as technological subjects rather than as “things”. Hence\, Black technoculture. Utilizing critical technocultural discourse analysis (Brock 2018)\, Afro-optimism\, and libidinal economic theory\, this presentation employs Black Twitter as an exemplar of Black cyberculture: digital practice and artifacts informed by a Black aesthetic.\n\nAndré Brock is an associate professor of media studies at Georgia Tech. His scholarship examines racial representations in videogames\, black women and weblogs\, whiteness\, blackness\, and digital technoculture\, as well as innovative and groundbreaking research on Black Twitter. His forthcoming book titled Distributed Blackness: African American Cybercultures will be published with NYU Press in February 2020\, offering an innovative approach to understanding Black everyday lives mediated by digital technologies.\n\nFree and open to the public\, no RSVP required.\n\nFOR REMOTE PARTICIPANTS: Video from this talk will be streamed live.

Traditionally\, traffic volumes are primarily measured by fixed location sensors. However\, the high installation and maintenance cost of fixed location sensors often leads to the missing data problem and the low coverage problem. In recent years\, researchers have proposed to solve the problems using probe vehicle data. Nevertheless\, when only low market penetration probe vehicle data are available\, it is difficult to estimate real time traffic volume information if we consider each time slot and each road separately Noticing that traffic volumes in a transportation network are correlated spatially and temporally\, we try to capture the correlation by fusing probe vehicle data and partial fixed location sensor data\, which are complementary to each other In this work\, we propose low rank representation methods to estimate the unknown traffic volumes. The proposed methods take advantage of the correlation of traffic volumes in different locations and different time slots and thereby achieve good estimation accuracy even if the probe vehicle data are sparse. Validation results show that the proposed methods can solve the missing data problem and the low coverage problem at the same time\, and they have great potential for real world implementation.\n\nYan Zhao is currently a PhD candidate in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Michigan. Yan also works with Professor Henry Liu in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on traffic state estimation and transportation network analysis using trajectory data.

Energetic ions from the ionosphere are routinely observed in the magnetospheric plasma sheet and ring current. Significant amounts of ionospheric plasma can be transported to high altitudes in response to DC electric fields and auroral precipitation. Neutral winds affect ionospheric motions and can help or hinder ion upflow. Once ions have been lifted to high altitudes\, transverse wave heating can give the upflowing ions sufficient energy for the mirror force to propel these ions to escape to the magnetosphere. GEMINI-TIA\, a 2D anisotropic\, multi-fluid\, ionospheric model\, has been used to examine these upflow and outflow processes in great detail. This versatile model is well suited to accept\, as model inputs\, data from sounding rockets\, ISR\, FPI\, and all-sky imagers\, and to be coupled to models of neutral dynamics making it ideal for case studies of interesting events UID:71581-17842687@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71581 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering LOCATION:Climate and Space Research Building - CSRB Auditorium, room 2246 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191220T215508 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200123T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200123T163000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Webinar: Engaging Communities in Role-Playing Simulations to Advance Climate Planning DESCRIPTION:Coastal communities face tough decisions about how to manage flooding risks associated with rising seas and extreme rain events. Two project teams have developed an innovative planning tool that allows community leaders and residents to make sense of local climate projections and experiment with collaborative decision making in a safe environment.\n\nThe New England Climate Adaptation Project tested the use of role-play simulations\, or “games\,” to engage community members in climate adaptation planning. In a structured workshop setting\, participants receive background information describing a fictional place - typically with a striking resemblance to their own - and must assume a fictional role in which they work collaboratively to prioritize actions that help the community manage climate risks. Following the framework developed in New England\, the Georgetown Climate Adaptation Project produced a customized set of local climate projections and role playing materials for the coastal southeast. In this webinar\, presenters will discuss lessons learned from planning and leading simulation workshops in two different coastal regions.

My research interests are largely directed towards understanding how cancer cells and immune cells can be manipulated or engineered using chemistry\, material\, and chemical biology approaches\, in order to develop effective therapies for cancers\, injured tissues\, and other diseases. In this talk\, I will start with my phd journey in exploring cancer-selective metabolic labeling and targeting\, and then share how metabolic cell labeling can be utilized for tracking and targeted modulation of immune cells in vivo. Lastly\, I will talk about a biomaterial-based antigen-free cancer vaccine for the treatment of poorly-immunogenic solid tumors.\n\nBio:\n\nI am currently a Wyss Technology Development Fellow at Harvard University\, aiming to integrate my research background in chemistry\, materials science\, and chemical biology with cancer immunotherapy and immunoengineering here. More specifically\, I am exploring approaches to modulate or engineer cancer and immune cells in vivo\, in order to improve and innovate current immunotherapies for cancers and other immune-related diseases. Before moving to Harvard\, I earned my Ph.D. degree in Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (08/2012-06/2016)\, and my Bachelor’s degree in Polymer Science and Engineering at the University of Science and Technology of China (08/2008-06/2012).

Plant traits are being increasingly used to address this challenge as they provide insights into the critical phenotype-environment link. Such information is necessary to apply to questions regarding how forests are responding to changing environments and the implications of those changes for the long-term persistence of forests. In this talk\, I will discuss how the use of trait-based approaches and different modeling tools has allowed me to address questions regarding the drivers that shape forests\, and species responses to habitat loss and fragmentation.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/bpnFzlHvSpU UID:69039-17220020@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69039 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Earth Day At 50,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,Science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200117T101116 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200123T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200123T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Occasional Lecture Series | Classical as Contemporary: Choreography and New Media in China Today DESCRIPTION:In China today\, dance and new media are merging in experimental choreographies for the stage\, open-air spaces\, galleries\, and other site-specific works.

This type of Q & A can feel daunting\, but can also be fun and interesting to prepare for with other graduate students. In this workshop\, we will not be working on poster design: instead\, we’ll work on strategies for fluent communication with visitors to your poster. \n\nIf you have a poster presentation coming up\, bring a sketch or draft of your poster so that you can practice taking questions from others at the workshop. Otherwise\, come ready to practice formulating and responding to typical question types in poster presentations.\n\nSign up here: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/5596 UID:70424-17594476@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/70424 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Graduate,Graduate and Professional Students,Graduate School,Graduate Students,Research,Workshop LOCATION:Angell Hall - G127 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200109T145300 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200123T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200123T200000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The 1619 Project Podcast: Episode 3: The Birth of American Music DESCRIPTION:Black music\, forged in captivity\, became the sound of complete artistic freedom.
