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.

However\, antibiotics are not the only drugs that alter the microbiome. In human cohorts\, we have identified microbiota features that overlap between patients with CDIs or diarrhea\, leading to our hypothesis that some patients with diarrhea are susceptible to C. difficile infection but have not been exposed to C. difficile spores. To examine how diarrhea impacts CDI susceptibility\, we treated C57Bl/6 mice with 5-day and 1-day doses of 15% polyethylene glycol (PEG) 3350 in the drinking water and then challenged the mice with C. difficile 630 spores. We used clindamycin-treated mice as a control because they consistently clear C. difficile within 10 days post-infection (dpi). We also examined how PEG treatment impacts C. difficile clearance\, by administering PEG for 1 day to clindamycin-treated\, C. difficile-challenged mice. PEG treatment alone was sufficient to render mice susceptible to CDI and 5-day PEG-treated mice remain colonized for up to 30 dpi. In contrast\, 1-day PEG treated mice were transiently colonized\, clearing C. difficile within 7 dpi. Although 5-day PEG-treated mice exhibited prolonged C. difficile colonization\, we saw no difference in histological inflammation between PEG- and clindamycin-treated mice. Additionally\, administering PEG to mice after C. difficile challenge prolonged colonization up to 30 dpi in mice that received PEG immediately after challenge and 15 dpi in mice that received PEG 3 dpi. When we examined microbiota composition across the different treatment groups\, we found there were increased Bacteroides and Enterobacteriaceae and decreased Lachnospiraceae and Oscillibacter in most of the PEG-treated mice with prolonged C. difficile colonization. Our findings suggest the osmotic laxative PEG 3350 alters the mouse microbiota and disrupts colonization resistance to C. difficile\, as well as clearance in mice with a CDI. Further studies are needed to evaluate if laxatives impact human microbiota colonization resistance.

However\, parents’ beliefs about and responses to adversity can alleviate the negative consequences that stressors have on children\, largely due to parents’ socialization practices. In this talk\, I will be presenting preliminary findings from a study examining whether Black parents’ endorsements of challenge mindset (i.e.\, the belief that experiencing adversity promotes personal growth and strength) predict more positive changes in children’s mood\, behavior\, and academics since the pandemic began (i.e.\, March 2020). Lastly\, I will share results investigating whether Black parents’ socialization of challenge mindset beliefs mediate the relationship between parents’ endorsements of challenge mindset and children’s outcomes. Next steps for this study will be discussed at the end of this talk.\n\nJulisa\n\nTitle:\nOmissions and Commissions: The Impact of Perceived Discrimination on Natives' Psychological Wellbeing\n\nAbstract:\nRepresentations of Native Peoples are routinely omitted from consequential domains of society\, and in the rare cases Natives are represented\, they are portrayed in ways that are both stereotypical and historical. For example\, less than 1% of characters on television\, films\, book and video games are Native American\, of those characters\, they are primarily depicted as historical. Recent theorizing suggests that both acts of omission (e.g.\, no representations) and commission (e.g.\, negative or inaccurate representations) have consequences for the everyday experiences of Native Peoples. To explore this\, across two nationally representative samples\, we tested whether perceptions of omissions and perceptions of commissions are related to psychological wellbeing outcomes\, and whether these relationships are mediated by perceptions of discrimination.

An underlying assumption is that a more racially diverse police department will lead to less racial bias and more public trust in police officers. In an experiment\, we examine the potential consequences of such policies. First\, we test whether black and white civilians perceive a difference in the probability of punishment when interacting with white versus minority police officers. Subjects are asked to imagine that they are driving through a real but unnamed city in the United States. They are incentivized to reach their destination quickly\; however\, they have the potential of receiving a speeding ticket\, which will reduce their earnings. Subjects are told that the probability that they receive a speeding ticket depends on their characteristics\, real speeding tickets issued to people driving through that city\, and information about people's general speeding behavior. In one treatment\, prior to deciding how fast they wish to drive\, subjects receive a description of a city with a predominantly white police department. In the other treatment\, subjects are informed that the city has a predominantly non-white police department. By comparing subjects' speed in both treatments\, we are able to determine whether subjects perceive they'll be treated equally by both white and minority police officers and whether the race of the subject affects this perception.\n\nFor information on how to watch this lecture and sign up for the SBEE mailing list to receive notice of upcoming events\, please visit the SBEE website:\nhttps://umbee.github.io/SBEE_Seminars UID:81045-20838697@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81045 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210414T183046 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210407T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210407T143000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Virtual Information Session about Revenue Officer’s DESCRIPTION:We are hosting a virtual information session on our Revenue Officer positions with the IRS' Small Business and Self-Employed Division.\n\nSpeak to Revenue Officer’s that are working in these positions and gain a better understanding of the work\, the day-to-day\, and what brought them to the IRS.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThis paper analyzes the sources of the racial difference in the intergenerational transmission of human capital by developing and estimating a dynastic model of parental time and monetary inputs in early childhood with endogenous fertility\, home hours\, labor supply\, marriage\, and divorce. It finds that the racial differences in the marriage matching patterns lead to racial differences in labor supply and home hours of couples. Although both the black-white labor market earnings and marriage market gaps are important sources of the black-white achievement gap\, the assortative mating and divorce probabilities racial\ngaps accounts for a larger fraction of it.\n\n* To join the seminar\, please contact at econ.events@umich.edu UID:81205-20872031@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81205 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210414T183033 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210407T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210407T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Classical Charter Schools Information Session: Humanities Majors DESCRIPTION:Interested in a meaningful\, recession-resistant career after college?

The COVID Health Action Response for Marines (CHARM) studied completed 20\,000 study visits and obtained more than 70\,000 biosamples including pre- to post- SARS-CoV-2 infections in more than 1000 recruits. Serological\, transcriptomic\, and epigenetic analyses identify the response signature to SARS-CoV-2 infection in these largely asymptomatic young adults. Phylogenetic analysis and modeling provide insight into epidemiology and guidance for public health measures. \n\n* * *\n\nSpecialty: Neurology\n\nResearch Topics: Addiction\, Apoptosis/Cell Death\, Basal Ganglia\, Bioinformatics\, Brain\, Cellular Immunity\, Cerebral Cortex\, Mathematical and Computational Biology\, Multiple Sclerosis\, Neuro-degeneration/protection\, Receptors\, Reproductive Biology\, Signal Transduction\, Theoretical Biology\, Vaccine Development\, Viruses and Virology\n\nhttps://umich-health.zoom.us/j/93929606089?pwd=SHh6R1FOQm8xMThRemdxTEFMWWpVdz09 UID:83241-21320453@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/83241 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Cardiovascular,Chemistry,Discussion,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Engineering,Environment,Free,Human Genetics,Information and Technology,Learning Health Systems,Lecture,Life Science,Mathematics,Medicine,Pediatrics,Physics,Public Health,Research,Science,seminar,Structural Biology,Talk LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210329T131502 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210407T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210407T172000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Donia Human Rights Center Lecture.

Although\, they provide the much needed quantitative modeling for such problems\, until recently they have been numerically intractable in high-dimensional settings. However\, several recent studies that use deep neural networks report impressive numerical results in high dimensions when the structure of the uncertainty is assumed to be known. The main tool is a Monte-Carlo type algorithm combined with deep neural networks proposed by Han\, E and Jentzen. In this talk\, I will outline this approach and discuss its properties\; in particular\, the difficulties that data-driven problems face as opposed to model-driven ones. Numerical results\, while validating the power of the method in high dimensions\, they also show the dependence on the dimension and the size of the training data. This is joint work with Max Reppen of Boston University.

(joint with Fernando Alvarez and Aleksei Oskolkov) DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe give a full analytic characterization of a large class of sticky-price models where the firm's price setting behavior is described by a generalized hazard function. Such a function allows for a vast variety of empirical hazards to be tted. This setup is microfounded by random menu costs as in Caballero and Engel (1993) or\, alternatively\, by information frictions as in Woodford (2009). We establish two main results. First\, we show how to identify all the primitives of the model\, including the distribution of the fundamental adjustment costs and the implied generalized hazard function\, using the distribution of price changes. Second\, we derive a sucient statistic for the aggregate eect of a monetary shock: given an arbitrary generalized hazard function\, the cumulative impulse response of output to a once-and-for-all monetary shock is proportional to the ratio of the kurtosis of the steady-state distribution of price changes over the frequency of price adjustment. We prove that Calvo's model yields the upper bound and Golosov and Lucas's model the lower bound on this measure within the class of random menu cost models.\n\n* To join the seminar\, please contact at econ.events@umich.edu UID:81282-20879921@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81282 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210318T181539 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210407T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210407T170000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Ph.D. Connections Conference: Career Panel—Technology DESCRIPTION:Panelists from Google\, Microsoft Research\, and Facebook will share lessons learned from their own career paths and provide insights into applying your Ph.D. in the technology industry.\nSpeakers\nElnaz Ansari\nResearch Scientist\, Facebook\nElnaz Ansari has a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of Michigan and is currently a research scientist in Facebook Reality Labs\, working on new hardware architectures for AR/VR applications.

The towns that anchor Clark's new album may be small enough to warrant only a single blinking light\, but the lives lived in them are anything but... and neither are the hopes and dreams that rise from their backroads and bedrooms.\n\nWhen you grow up in a small town\, oftentimes\, your dreams are all you have. Whether it's to become a football star or a father\, a homecoming queen or a hairdresser\, your dreams might be the only thing that keep you going. For Clark\, the dream she harbored in her small hometown of Morton\, Washington\, was to be a country singer. Sure\, once she moved to Nashville\, she had successful cuts as a songwriter [The Band Perry's \"Better Dig Two\,\" Miranda Lambert's \"Mama's Broken Heart\,\" and Kacey Musgraves' \"Follow Your Arrow\" which won the CMA Song of the Year Award in 2014]\, but being an artist in her own right was a dream she had stopped dreaming until three years ago when her first album\, the stunning 12 Stories\, debuted.\n\nAt the time\, it was a passion project\, more than anything... a passion project that went on to become a GRAMMY- and CMA-nominated release that topped a myriad of \"Best Albums of 2013\" lists\; earn her opening slots on tours with Eric Church\, Jennifer Nettles\, and Alan Jackson\; land her performances onThe Ellen DeGeneres Show \, Good Morning America\, The Late Show with David Letterman\, and a much-talked about collaboration with Dwight Yoakam on the 2015 GRAMMY Awards in recognition of her nomination in the all-genre Best New Artist category\; and win her a Warner Records deal. Now\, as she gears up for her sophomore set\, the alternately feisty and poignant Big Day in a Small Town\, Clark has much higher hopes.\n\n\"When I made 12 Stories\, I think my dreams were a lot more realistic\, in that I didn't expect a lot to happen... then it did\,\" she says. \"This time\, my dreams are very much what they were when I was going to Vince Gill and Patty Loveless concerts and decided I was going to move to Nashville. Right now\, my dreams are as big as when I was naïve enough to really dream them.\"\n\nProduced by Jay Joyce [Little Big Town\, Eric Church]\, Big Day in a Small Town tells the stories of the football star\, the father\, the homecoming queen\, and the hairdresser because those are the stories and people that Clark grew up knowing. \"All these songs\, there's some little truth in them\, somewhere\, that resonates with me or that is about me\,\" she confesses. Explaining the genesis of \"Soap Opera\,\" she offers\, \"When I would get worried about what people thought of me or what was going on with me\, my mom would always say\, 'You know\, we're all the star of our daytime drama. We're just bit players in someone else's. Nobody cares that much about what's going on with you. They'll only care until there's something juicier going on with somebody else two weeks later.'\"\n\nBut Clark cares enough about all of these characters to tell their stories: the aging beauty of \"Homecoming Queen\" who wonders what happened to the life she always wanted... the tempted exes of \"You Can Come Over\" who do all they can to not get burned by the flame that flickers between them... the heartbroken heroine of \"Daughter\" who wishes a bit of karmic justice on her ex in the form of a daughter who's \"just as sweet as she is hot\"... the defiant wild child of \"Girl Next Door\" who refuses to fit her lover's misguided notion of womanhood.\n\n\"'Homecoming Queen' is really real for me — I know that girl. 'You Can Come Over' is very real for me and 'Daughter' and 'Soap Opera'...\" Clark's voice trails off as she thinks about the tales she tells. What about \"Drinkin' Smokin' Cheatin'\" with its pondering of ways to navigate the sometimes rocky waters of a relationship? Game plan? Wish list? \"That's a total daydream\,\" she says with a laugh. \"I think we all have that daydream.\"\n\nOne of the most heartfelt moments on Big Day in a Small Town is the one that closes it\, \"Since You've Gone to Heaven.\" The song addresses the aftermath of losing someone close to you and it's one that Clark has wanted — and attempted — to write for years. \"My dad was killed in a work accident the July before 9/11\,\" she says. \"When all that 9/11 stuff was going on and everyone was glued to the TV ... I thought right then\, 'Since you've gone to heaven\, the whole world has gone to hell.' But I sat on it for years and years because it seemed so bleak.\" As with all of Clark's compositions\, there's some truth in it\, just not necessarily the whole truth. \"It's definitely not the story of my family in that song. I'll stress that\,\" she says. \"But I do think\, a lot of times\, when somebody dies\, it blows things apart more than it brings things together.\"\n\nWhile the lyrical themes echo those of 12 Stories\, Clark pushed her vocal and musical boundaries on Big Day in a Small Town. Instead of building the songs from a simple guitar/vocal performance\, Joyce brought the players in for five days of rehearsals before tracking live with the band. \"A lot of those rehearsals became what the record was\,\" Clark says\, explaining that the recorded version of \"You Can Come Over\" includes her one-take\, scratch vocal. \"I wanted to fix a few things\, but Jay wouldn't let me because he felt like it would lose emotion. He's about the heart of music. He's not about making it perfect.\"\n\n\"He is out to serve the artist and the song\,\" she adds. Throughout the process\, Joyce insisted that this be a \"Brandy Clark record\" not a \"Jay Joyce record\" because she was the one who would be performing it night-after-night even as he moved on to his next project. \"If I didn't like something\, he'd be the first person to change it. I think this project means nearly as much to him as it does to me.\"\n\nThough Neil Young's Harvest was the only musical reference point the two discussed before heading into Neon Cross Studios\, Clark and Joyce each brought their influences along — including Clark's long-standing love of classic country and Joyce's well-documented affinity for edgier rock. \"He and I definitely come from different places\, musically\, which I think is probably good\,\" she offers. \"On 'Daughter\,' he started to play an organ part and I said\, 'That sounds like [Patsy Cline's] \"Back in Baby's Arms.\"' He said\, 'What's that?' He didn't know it.\"\n\nAlong with Sturgill Simpson\, Ashley Monroe\, Chris Stapleton\, and Kacey Musgraves (who provides guest vocals on \"Daughter\")\, Clark is part of a new vanguard in country music — one that tips a hat to tradition\, while not eschewing its evolution. \"I see what's happening right now and I feel this groundswell of people who love... I would say 'country' music\, but I'll take it a step further and say 'real' music. I feel like there are people who are starved for that\,\" she says. \"The only music I've ever made is country music. The only music I've ever really listened to consistently is country music. And I want to keep that alive\, so there's a responsibility in that\, for me.\"\n\nBut\, for Brandy Clark\, that responsibility is a dream come true.
