DESCRIPTION:For a limited time\, we are sponsoring free access to this film's virtual viewing. For instructions\, please email cmenas@umich.edu with the subject “Request to watch ‘You Will Die at Twenty'”\n   \n   About the movie:\n   NYTimes Critics Pick! Winner of the Lion of the Future Award for best Debut Feature at the Venice Film Festival\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is visually sumptuous “coming-of-death” fable. During her son’s naming ceremony\, a Sheikh predicts that Sakina’s child will die at the age of 20.

As Muzamil escapes Sakina’s ever-watchful eye\, he encounters friends\, ideas and challenges that make him question his destiny. Sudan’s first Oscar submission\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is an auspicious debut and a moving meditation on what it means to live in the present.\n\nCo-sponsor: Michigan Theatre

SUMMARY:Exhibition:For Your Eyes Only
DESCRIPTION:Please Note: This exhibition is designed to be viewed through the gallery window on Thayer St.\n\nYasmine Nasser Diaz is the 2021 Efroymson Emerging Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.\n\nFor Your Eyes Only is the latest iteration of multidisciplinary artist Yasmine Nasser Diaz’s bedroom installation. At first glance\, the constructed space is a shimmering homage to the bedroom disco—a sanctuary for uninhibited dance and self-expression. It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media\, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some\, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous\, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled\, scrutinized\, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region. The images demonstrate the fluctuating attitudes and regulations impacting human rights and freedoms based on gender\, and exemplify how—whether we are physically at a protest or sharing our physicality in virtual spaces—our bodies are engaged in some level of risk.\n*Southwest Asian/North African\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Yelping From Home: The Tech Talk Series
DESCRIPTION:Yelp’s mission is to connect people with great local businesses\, and one of the teams working behind the scenes to make that happen is our five star engineering and product teams.\n\nPlaying an active role in our community is a value that we have strongly prioritized over the years. Typically we would invite you to come to Yelp’s HQ to network\, grab a slice of ‘za\, and learn about the technology and culture behind Yelp.With stay-at-home orders across the globe\, Yelp (like many of you) has had no choice but to adapt to these changes. We understand that this is a strange and challenging time for many\, so we’d like to invite you to join us as we navigate this new normal for the tech community together.\n\nTostay connected\, create space for folks to collaborate and share some of the things Yelp has been working on\, we are launching our very own virtual tech talk series. This series of talks will feature Yelpers from engineering and product and will focus on themes such as career development\, technical skills\, workplace challenges and Yelp’s response to COVID-19.\n\nTalk: Modernizing Ad Attribution at Yelp by Bernard Laveaux\n\nMeasuring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns can be challenging without visibility into their performance. In the world of online advertising we have the opportunity to more directly quantify and reflect an advertiser’s return on investment via attribution. For example\, we can directly quantifythe value of a Yelp biz page ad click by attributing it to a subsequent‘lead’ action like ordering delivery or requesting a quote for a service. This in turn gives both Yelp and advertisers on Yelp insight into thedirect impact and value their advertising budget provides. In this talk\,Bernard will discuss how Yelp’s ad attribution system works\, as well as how we’ve improved it over time to be more resilient and provide more value to internal stakeholders and Yelp advertisers.\n\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:“It’s Not Brain Surgery”: Graphic Medicine\, Graphic Justice\, and More About Comics for Grown Ups
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will be live streamed.\n\nGraphic Medicine describes the genre of comics and graphic novels around healthcare\, as told from personal and professional perspectives. Many think of comics as for children\, but that could be risky with some of these! The personal experiences described can be tender or gritty\, and touch on topics such as specific conditions\, social justice\, dying\, lived experiences\, resilience. Visual aspects of storytelling take advantage of new literacies\, offering insights not possible through other mediums.\n\nPatricia F. Anderson (@pfanderson) is the Emerging Technologies Informationist at UM\, in which she’s made apps\, books\, comics\, and a videogame\, which officially makes this the coolest job ever. Her job lets her hang out with microbiome researchers\, precision medicine folk\, health IT geeks\, makerspace gurus\, and talk about explorations in personal genomics and 3d printing. Her other publication areas include social media\, search engines\, wearables\, text mining\, tech mining\, textual analysis\, and systematic reviews.\n\nThis is the first of a six-lecture series. The subject of the series is Graphic Books and Memes. The next lecture will be on March 4\, 2021. The title is: Creating Comic/Graphic Novels From Concept to Publication.  Learn from well-known experts about an array of interesting subjects\, with an interactive Q&A period following each lecture.\n\nPreregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone.  A link to access the lecture will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Abolitionist University Studies: An Invitation
DESCRIPTION:*Zoom registration required: https://myumi.ch/E3jjK*\n\n*We think it’s time to take up an abolitionist approach to the university. We can’t do it without you.*\n\nAbolition\, we believe\, offers the occasion for thinking about the university in ways that the institution itself might otherwise render impossible. And in doing so it may provide an opportunity to trouble the institution as we know and inhabit it—and as it inhabits us. Inspired by radical scholars and organizers in and outside of universities\, we embrace abolition as a generative rather than merely negative project. We aim to build relations that steal the sheen from the university’s romanticized history and to repurpose its resources\, capacities\, and function of reproducing sociality with and for other ways of being\, other ways of living. In coming together\, we take up the question\, What would an abolitionist approach to the university say yes to?\n\nThese conversations belong to a larger set of recent efforts to theorize and historicize the dense and manifold linkages of universities with the infrastructure of settler colonial power\, U.S. militarism\, and racial capitalism. These efforts have sought not only to introduce new vocabularies and critical frames for how we understand universities and their conditions of possibility\; they have also revealed some of the limits of the methodological tools heretofore available to think the university. From the well-intentioned methodological nationalism that tends to disappear the constitutive militarism of the Cold War university to the unrecognized settler imagination that valorizes as democratic the postbellum “public” land-grant institutions\, to periodizations of the modern research university that hold its proximity to slavery at bay\, the production of the university as an object of love and an occasion for rescue has often been reproduced in efforts to study it.\n\nAbolitionist university studies\, an emerging set of conversations about knowledge\, power\, and its institutional organizations has sought to offer a broad frame and a set of coordinates to study the university on different terms. It has\, furthermore\, insisted on regarding knowledge production not as a set of disembodied ideas or logics\, but as organizational forms. Such a frame calls for methodological creativity. What kinds of pedagogical strategies does it open onto? What kind of historical frames get brought into courses\, and how to bring abolitionist approaches into classrooms not nominally focused on the topic? How can abolitionist modes of organizing within universities open onto or remake existing political collectivities?

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Brown Bag Seminar | Worldsheet g-function and AdS/CFT
DESCRIPTION:Recently there has been new progress in computing a class of observables in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions at finite 't Hooft coupling\, ranging from correlation functions of \"baryonic\" operators to leading instanton effects at large N. All those examples share two common features: 1. At weak coupling\, they can be computed by an overlap between a matrix product state and an eigenstate of the Hamiltonian of an integrable 1+1d spin chain. 2. Using AdS/CFT\, they can be mapped to so-called g-functions on the string worldsheet and can be computed exactly as a function of 't Hooft coupling. After explaining the basic ideas\, I will showcase several applications.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Autonomous and Intelligent Cyber-Physical Systems and The Era of Big Data
DESCRIPTION:As society enters the era of Big Data\, and intelligent Cyber-Physical Systems begins to embrace it\, researchers will rely more on data to train controllers or validate them from repeated simulations. \n\nThis talk will describe autonomous and intelligent Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS)\, and how the availability of experimental testbeds has enabled discoveries applicable for societal-scale systems - one of which is the Cognitive and Autonomous Testbed Vehicle (CAT Vehicle). It has participated in several high-profile experiments regarding heterogeneous human-driven and semi-autonomous traffic flow. Dr. Sprinkle will detail ongoing efforts that explore how collaboration with researchers in application domain fields can dramatically expand available data sets. This also provides unique opportunities for exploring the security and privacy challenges that accompany societal-scale systems.\n--\nAbout the speaker: Dr. Jonathan Sprinkle is the Litton Industries John M. Leonis Distinguished Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Arizona and the Interim Director of the Transportation Research Institute. In 2020 he was named a Distinguished Scholar of the University of Arizona. From 2017-2019 he served as a Program Director in Cyber-Physical Systems and Smart & Connected Communities at the National Science Foundation in the CISE Directorate.

SUMMARY:Other:Cold Weather Hot Takes: The Faculty of Laughter
DESCRIPTION:egister.\n \nUMMA’s collection includes a silkscreen by Paul Rand titled Joseph Addison Poser-Laughter. Let’s use a line from Addison—“Man is distinguished from all other creatures by the faculty of laughter”—as a runway\, of sorts\, for some poetic flights. Our description of the Rand silkscreen compares its central figure to Lewis Carroll’s Cheshire Cat. Let’s write and share a few poems in the tradition of Lewis Carroll.\n \nWe especially have Carroll’s “Mad Gardener’s Song” form in mind\, an example of which goes like this: “He thought he saw an Argument / That proved he was the Pope: / He looked again\, and found it was / A Bar of Mottled Soap. / ‘A fact so dread\,’ he faintly said\, / ‘Extinguishes all hope!’”\n \nThese poems are easy to write\, and great fun to hear out loud.\n \n \n \nCody Walker directs the U-M English Department’s Undergraduate Creative Writing Program and co-directs the Bear River Writers’ Conference. He’s the author of three poetry collections\, including The Self-Styled No-Child (Waywiser Press\, 2016). His work appears in The New York Times Magazine\, Slate\, and The Best American Poetry. \n\n

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:CLASP Seminar Series: Dr. Hailong Wang
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Hailong Wang of the Pacific Northwest Laboratory will give a virtual lecture as part of the CLASP Seminar Series. Please join us!\n\nThis is a Zoom virtual event.\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/94897438456?pwd=S3h5VWxEWVhhVmRNSTEzVUt6Yyt2Zz09\nMeeting ID: 948 9743 8456\nPasscode: 192897\n\n\"Understanding roles of cloud and precipitation in the recent Arctic warming through radiative feedbacks\"\n\nAbstract: \nSince the early 1980s\, the Arctic has warmed 2-3 times faster than the global mean\, a feature often called Arctic amplification (AA). As the Arctic warms\, the melt of snow and ice together with the associated feedbacks is known to be an important reason for AA. According to our feedback estimates from historical climate model simulations and reanalysis datasets\, much of the amplified Arctic warming can be attributed to the surface albedo feedback. In a recent study\, we used results from a global climate model and multiple reanalysis datasets to unravel the causes of a 1% per decade absolute reduction in the Arctic surface albedo\, as revealed by satellite observations. We found that reductions of terrestrial snow cover\, snow cover fraction over sea ice\, and sea ice extent appear to contribute equally to the Arctic albedo decline. Further analysis of the global model results showed that the decrease in snow cover fraction is primarily driven by the increase in surface air temperature\, followed by declining snowfall. Although the total precipitation has increased as the Arctic warms in the recent decades\, Arctic snowfall has decreased substantially in all of the analyzed datasets. While CMIP6 models agree well on the importance of surface albedo feedback to AA\, net cloud feedback over the Arctic has large uncertainties including its sign\, which strongly depends on the datasets (e.g.\, reanalysis\, satellite\, or climate models)\, the time periods\, and the methods used for the feedback estimation. AMIP6 models with known historical effective radiative forcing give a near-zero global mean cloud feedback for the recent past\, leading to a negative global mean net feedback that is about twice the feedback estimated from CMIP6 long‐term warming (4×CO2) experiments.\n\nPlease join us!

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Anil Yildirim (Aerospace Engineering) and Jiale Tan (Epidemiology)
DESCRIPTION:ANIL YILDIRIM: Anil Yildirim is a PhD candidate in Aerospace Engineering and Scientific Computing. His research focuses on the development and application of robust computational tools in the context of multidisciplinary design optimization for aircraft configurations.\n\n\"ROBUST AND HIGH-PERFORMANCE TOOLS FOR MULTIDISCIPLINARY DESIGN OPTIMIZATION\": The development of future sustainable aircraft heavily relies on the design and integration of advanced propulsion systems. However\, the design of these systems are challenging due to the tightly coupled interactions between the aerodynamic and the propulsion disciplines. My research focuses on enabling these advanced technologies using aeropropulsive design optimization\, in which the aerodynamic and propulsion system designs are optimized in a coupled manner. In this process\, I use multiple robust and high-performance computational tools including the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver we have been developing in the MDO Lab at the University of Michigan. In this talk\, I will cover some recent advancements in the field of CFD-based aeropropulsive design optimization and the computational methodologies we have been using for this work.\n\nJIALE TAN: Jiale is a second year Phd student working with Prof. Rafael Meza in Epidemiology. His interest is to apply computational skills to public health challenges so that he can develop and apply modeling techniques for infectious and noninfectious diseases\, including for viral infections like HIV and HCV\, and eventually use them for modeling non-communicable diseases that disproportionately affect global health like cancer.\n\n\"MARKOV MULTISTATE TRANSITION MODEL ON ELECTRONIC NICOTINE DELIVERY SYSTEMS AND TRADITIONAL CIGARETTES\": Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) have dramatically changed the landscape of tobacco products patterns in the USA since 2011. The impact of ENDS use on traditional cigarettes smoking remains a topic of considerable debate. A Markov multistate transition model was used to estimate transition rates (Hazard rate) between ENDS and cigarette use states (25 use states)\; never user\, non-current experimental user\, non-current regular user\, current experimental user\, and current regular user for each product. A 25×25 transition matrix was generated from this model. Parallel computations using 150 processors was used to estimate the transition rates. The Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health study\, which includes longitudinal data from 11\,475 youth of ages 12 to 24 years from 2013-2018 was used to calibrate the model. The hazard estimates show the patterns of ENDS and cigarette use experimentation and transition to regular use. Next steps will assess the impact of different sociodemographic covariates (age\, sex\, race\, education\, household income) on the estimated transition rates.\n\nRegister to receive Zoom information: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUtce2gqDkuE9chnr5NMrBGjYgeXsl-fyJX

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:BME 500 Seminar: Jorge Marchand
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Abstract:\n\nIn living organisms\, translation of genetic information by the ribosome transforms\nthe information embedded in DNA into actuating components\, namely proteins. Though life itself is incredibly diverse at the macroscopic level\, at the molecular level\, all of life uses the same set of machinery for translation - 20 standard amino acid building blocks (with minor exceptions)\, transfer RNAs (tRNA)\, and ribosomes. The convergence and association of these interdependent biomolecules is neatly captured in a table known as the ‘standard genetic code’. Even after billions of years of genetic drift\, the ‘standard genetic code’ has been largely refractory to change.  In this talk\, I will be discussing strategies and methods for building organisms that can make and use non-standard amino acids to make proteins with enhanced or expanded function.\n\nZOOM LINK: https://umich.zoom.us/j/94405051853

Specifically\, I will first discuss a data-driven approach for learning multimodal interaction dynamics between robot-driven and human-driven vehicles based on recent advances in deep generative modeling. Then\, I will discuss how to incorporate such a learned interaction model into a real-time\, interaction-aware decision-making framework. The framework is designed to be minimally interventional\; in particular\, by leveraging backward reachability analysis\, it ensures safety even when other cars defy the robot's expectations without unduly sacrificing performance. I will present recent results from experiments on a full-scale steer-by-wire platform\, validating the framework and providing practical insights. I will conclude the talk by providing an overview of related efforts from my group on infusing safety assurances in robot autonomy stacks equipped with learning-based components\, with an emphasis on adding structure within robot learning via control-theoretical and formal methods.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nDr. Marco Pavone is an Associate Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University\, where he is the Director of the Autonomous Systems Laboratory and Co-Director of the Center for Automotive Research at Stanford.

SUMMARY:Other:Quantitative chemical imaging of structure and function in living biological systems – from single cells to animals
DESCRIPTION: Cell heterogeneity plays a critical role in many pathophysiological processes such as cancer development and neurodegeneration. However\, phenotypic variations of individual cells in a complex organ are often intractable by traditional analytical techniques. The main obstacles are the limited amount of analyte in a single cell and the need for noninvasive in situ analysis in order to preserve cell function and microenvironmental information. My lab focuses on the development of label-free pump probe microscopy techniques that enables quantitative morphological\, chemical\, and functional measurements at high spatial and temporal resolution from cultured cells to living animals. Specifically\, we apply broadband and high sensitivity stimulated Raman scattering microscopy\, an emerging chemical imaging tool\, to study cell growth\, cell metabolism\, as well as disease processes. We also develop transient absorption microscopy to study a wide range of red blood cell associated functional processes such as neurovascular coupling in mouse brain. Together\, we aim to build an integrated chemical imaging platform and couple it with advanced data analysis for comprehensive structural and functional imaging of living biological samples at single-cell resolution.  \nDan Fu (University of Washington)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MLK Reading Series
DESCRIPTION:Join MCSP\, CSP\, and LSWA for a series of conversations addressing the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. at this crucial turning point in the history of racism in America. More than fifty years ago\, King made a call for a poor people’s campaign to take up arms against the evils of racism\, poverty\, and militarism. Yet\, King’s expanding and increasingly radical vision for his work is often forgotten\, co-opted by voices that distort his emphasis on love\, compassion\, and nonviolence to serve the status quo. Anti-racist activists who’ve followed King have had to grapple with how to interpret and respond to his legacy. One of them\, the Rev. William Barber relaunched the Poor People’s Campaign in 2018\, adding to King’s list of evils “environmental degradation” and calling for a multiracial coalition of poor people to challenge America’s exploitation of its people and the land. This three-part reading group will trace King’s varied legacy from his last published book to the present day and consider how those of us working for social justice can understand and build on his legacy.\n\nAny questions\, or to receive the RSVP link for the reading materials and the Zoom link\, email LSWA Director Carol Tell (tellc@umich.edu). \n\nJan. 13\, 5 p.m. King\, “The World House\,” from Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community? \nFeb. 25\, 5 p.m. “MLK Now” by Brandon Terry and responses\nNEW DATE Apr. 8\, 5 p.m. William Barber\, “Pastoral Letter to the Nation” and Marc Lamont Hill\, “Language of the Unheard” and “Toward an Abolitionist Vision”

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The next big thing: Redistricting in Michigan and the role of communities of interest
DESCRIPTION:In 2018 Michigan voters approved a Constitutional amendment to change how redistricting is done in the state\, removing the process from the purview of the state legislature and placing it in the hands of a new Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission (MICRC). The amendment also prescribes priorities the MICRC must address when drawing new district maps\, placing the concept of \"communities of interest\" (COIs) near the top of the list. \n\nWhile COIs have been a part of redistricting in other states\, this is a new concept in Michigan\, and is not yet widely understood. This webinar will help educate stakeholders about COIs: what they are\, the role they will play in Michigan's new redistricting process\, and how they can strategize and engage effectively in that process.\n\nThe event is co-sponsored by the Center for Local\, State\, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP)\, the Program in Practical Policy Engagement\, Detroit Public TV\, the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy\, and Voters Not Politicians\, the citizen-led grassroots organization that spearheaded the effort to pass the amendment. \n\nFor more information contact closup@umich.edu or call 734-647-4091\n\nFrom the speakers' bios:\nCharlie Beall is Co-Chair of the Community Mapping Project.
