SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Garden of Earthy Delights: Ceramic Sculptures by Ann Arbor Potters Guild at Matthaei Botanical Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the synergy between nature’s beauty and complexity\, and in partnership with the University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens\, artists from the Ann Arbor Potters Guild created work centered around Michigan’s natural landscapes and specifically for the Great Lakes Garden at Matthaei. Potters Guild artists created eight free-standing sculptures using the full range of traditional ceramic methods and tools\, the potter’s wheel\, press molds\, coil building\, slab construction\, and sculpting. Depictions range from naturalistic and representational\, to abstract\, as well as a whimsical nod or two to the timeless role of fantasy and myth in humankind’s communion with nature. Exhibit is free but scheduled reservations are required to visit the botanical gardens. Use this link to book your visit: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050f4aadad22a2fd0-matthaei1

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Applied Microeconomics | Industrial Organization: Roadblock or Accelerator? The Effect of Electric Vehicle Subsidy Elimination
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Federal and state governments in many countries subsidize early adopters of electric vehicles (EVs) to promote green technology. These programs use different approaches such as quotas and deadlines to end the subsidies\, creating complicated incentives for car manufacturers. This paper demonstrates the complex effect of the elimination designs on the EV market penetration\, prices\, and welfare in the US electric vehicle market. I develop a structural model of the consumer vehicle choice and manufacturer's pricing decisions in the US automobile industry. I estimate the model using industry data from 2011-2017 on new vehicle registrations\, prices\, characteristics\, and subsidies to identify demand elasticities\, network effects\, and marginal costs. Based on the model primitives\, I conduct counterfactual simulations to compare alternative subsidy elimination designs for EV market penetration\, prices\, and welfare.\n\n* To join the seminar\, please contact at econ.events@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Craft Lecture: Writing Climate Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Login here (no pre-registration needed): https://tinyurl.com/ZellWriters\n\nZell Visiting Writers Series craft lectures are free and open to the public\, and will be offered both virtually (via Zoom) and in person (in Angell Hall #3154). Seats at the in-person events are capacity-limited and offered on a first come\, first served basis\; please arrive early to secure a spot. Please contact kotziers@umich.edu with any questions or accommodation needs.\n\n\nThis craft lecture will lay out just a few of the craft problems that face those of us who write about climate crisis – including dramatic shifts in scale\, data-heavy research\, polemic\, anthropocentric melodrama\, and the risk of abstracting a crisis global in scale. It will also propose some ways to address and counter these craft problems – which are also conceptual issues with serious political implications – without over-simplifying or ignoring the consequences of each solution.\n\nCritically acclaimed poet Brian Teare writes from the intersection of environmental thought\, queer experience\, and disability. His most recent book\, *Doomstead Days*\, offers a series of walking meditations on our complicity with the climate crisis\, poems that document the interdependence of human and environmental health by using fieldwork and archival research to situate embodiment and chronic illness within bioregional and industrial histories. As *the New York Times* noted\, “Teare’s voices let us weigh the insoluble questions of how to live as an ethical being in the face of violence and environmental collapse.” *Doomstead Days* won the 2020 Four Quartets Prize and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle\, Kingsley Tufts\, and Lambda Literary Awards.\n\nA 2020 Guggenheim fellow\, Teare is the author of five previous books\, including *Companion Grasses* and *The Empty Form Goes All the Way to Heaven*. His honors include the Brittingham Prize and Lambda Literary and Publishing Triangle Awards\, as well as fellowships from the NEA\, the Pew Foundation\, the American Antiquarian Society\, and the MacDowell Colony. Teare has a BA in English and Creative Writing from the University of Alabama\, an MFA from Indiana University\, and was a Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford University. He taught creative writing in the San Francisco Bay Area for over a decade before moving to Philadelphia\, where he taught at Temple University. Now an Associate Professor of Poetry at the University of Virginia\, he lives in Charlottesville\, where he makes books by hand for his micropress\, Albion Books.\n\nFor any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs\, please email kotziers@umich.edu-- we are eager to help ensure that this event is inclusive to you. The building\, event space\, and restrooms are wheelchair accessible. A lactation room (Angell Hall #5209)\, reflection room (Haven Hall #1506)\, and gender-inclusive restroom (Angell Hall 5th floor) are available on site. ASL interpreters and CART services at in-person events are available upon request\; please email kotziers@umich.edu at least two weeks prior to the event\, whenever possible\, to allow time to arrange services.\n\nU-M employees with a U-M parking permit may use the Church Street Parking Structure (525 Church St.\, Ann Arbor) or the Thompson Parking Structure (500 Thompson St.\, Ann Arbor). There is limited metered street parking on State Street and South University Avenue. The Forest Avenue Public Parking Structure (650 South Forest Ave.\, Ann Arbor) is five blocks away\, and the parking rate is $1.20 per hour. All of these options include parking spots for individuals with disabilities.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Erick Matsen\, Professor\, Public Health Sciences Division\, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Phylogenetic (evolutionary tree) inference is a key tool for understanding evolutionary systems. This includes viral adaptation and genomic epidemiology\, as well as the antibody response to infection and vaccination. Bayesian phylogenetic analysis allows us to assess and integrate out tree uncertainty to obtain more reliable estimates of other model variables of interest (e.g. transmission rates). However\, Bayesian posterior distributions on phylogenetic trees remain difficult to sample despite decades of effort. The complex discrete and continuous model structure of trees means that recent inferential methods developed for Euclidean space are not easily applicable to the phylogenetic case. Thus\, we are left with random-walk Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) with uninformed tree modification proposals\; these traverse tree space slowly because phylogenetic posteriors are concentrated on a small fraction of the very many possible trees.\n\nIn this talk\, I will describe our work to design new scalable approaches to inferring the Bayesian posterior on phylogenetic trees. This includes establishing a new discrete inferential target\, which we call the \"subsplit directed acyclic graph\,\" and a new algorithm that will allow us to infer this structure using methods analogous to much faster maximum-likelihood (point-estimate) methods for phylogenetics. I will also describe how\, once this structure is in hand\, we can perform variational inference via stochastic gradient descent.\n\n\nDr. Frederick “Erick” Matsen is an expert in computational biology\, which is the science of using biological data to develop computer algorithms\, or programs\, to understand biological systems and relationships. His research team has developed new methods to analyze data generated by sequencing the DNA of viruses\, immune cells and complex environmental samples containing many microorganisms. The team also pursues more abstract questions about the methods used to construct evolutionary trees. Another focus of Dr. Matsen’s work is on improving software used in computational biology\, both by developing open source tools and by contributing to work on larger\, collaborative projects.\n\nhttps://www.fredhutch.org/en/faculty-lab-directory/matsen-frederick.html\nhttp://matsen.group/

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Respond / Resist / Rethink: A Stamps Student Poster & Video Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Over the last 12-18 months\, the world has wit­nessed the bru­tal impact of the COVID-19 pan­demic com­pounded by sys­temic racism as it pro­lif­er­ated across the US\, threat­en­ing to sti­fle its vibrant and diverse soci­ety. Stu­dents and youth in the US and glob­ally have been at the fore­front of social change devis­ing mod­els of inclu­sion and care for those deeply impacted by the pan­demic and racial and envi­ron­men­tal inequities. \n Stamps Gallery invited stu­dents at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art &amp\; Design to design posters and make videos that respond to the prompt: what change would you like to see in your community? Stamps students created meaningful posters and video work that will be featured in Respond/​Resist/​Rethink 2021: A Stu­dent Poster &amp\; Video Exhi­bi­tion. \n Why posters &amp\; video?\nFor gen­er­a­tions\, posters have served as an effec­tive tool to cir­cu­late ideas and mes­sages to the pub­lic. Visu­ally strik­ing\, and designed to draw atten­tion from passersby\, posters can be con­ver­sa­tion starters\, invite peo­ple to pause\, reflect\, spread the word\, get involved. They have been a pow­er­ful medium for many con­cep­tual artists and graphic design­ers to cre­ate pow­er­ful images and mes­sages that could respond to imme­di­ate issues and be dis­trib­uted widely. \n Sim­i­larly\, video art was another excit­ing imme­di­ate medium for con­cep­tual artists in the 1960s and 1970s as the tech­nol­ogy became more acces­si­ble to the masses. Video art pro­vided an alter­na­tive to the dom­i­nant broad­cast­ing cor­po­ra­tions. Artists made exper­i­men­tal films\, recorded per­for­mances\, and first-per­son nar­ra­tives that were then exhib­ited and screened at gal­leries\, muse­ums\, and events. Posters and videos con­tinue to be salient fea­tures in the 21st Cen­tury to respond to urgent issues and ques­tions fac­ing the present moment. \nRespond / Resist / Rethink asks the UM com­mu­nity to come together to envi­sion mod­els for inclu­sion that are grounded in equal­ity\, belong­ing\, and empathy. The work featured in the exhibition were selected through an open call by a com­mit­tee comprising Stamps fac­ulty\, stu­dents\, and staff includ­ing Julianna Lew\, David Chung\, Najwat Rehman\, Albert Che\, and Stamps Gallery staff.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Stephanie Dinkins: On Love & Data
DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery is proud to present the first survey of renowned transmedia artist Stephanie Dinkins\, who creates platforms for dialogue about artificial intelligence as it intersects race\, gender\, aging\, and our future histories. \nThrough her work\, Dinkins has become a central figure nationally and internationally recognized for exposing bias and inequity within artificial intelligence systems. Weaving together art production and exhibition\, community-based workshops and public speaking all with the intention of encouraging action towards making artificial intelligence systems more inclusive\, accessible and transparent. \n In this exhibition\, Dinkins will debut new and interactive installations and workshops that build on her concept of Afro-now-ism. In this poetic manifesto-like text\, Dinkins asks her audience\, particularly from communities of color\, to not only confront the litany of violences that humans have wielded upon one another based on the institutional and social constructions of race\, caste\, class\, and gender to maintain status quo and the current systems of power - but rise above it by taking action to start building the world that they desire. \nShe writes: “Instead of waiting to reach the proverbial promised land\, also known as a time in the future that may or may not manifest in your lifetime\, Afro-now-ism is taking the leap and the risks to imagine and define oneself beyond systemic oppression... For black people in particular\, it means conceiving yourself in the space of free and expansive thought and acting from a critically integrated space\, allowing for more community-sustaining work.” \n Through her installations and workshops Stephanie Dinkins: On Love &amp\; Data develops a dialogue with the audience on the hierarchies embedded within machine learning and AI architecture and one&#039\;s individual agency in transforming the algorithms within it. The audience will explore and participate in creating a more inclusive data-based narrative of what governance of the people\, by the people and for the people can look like in an AI mediated world where care is encoded within our digital civic system.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Balancing spatial heterogeneity and migration to slow the evolution of resistance in a bacterial pathogen
DESCRIPTION:Spatial heterogeneity can dramatically impact evolution in bacterial communities\, raising the question of whether spatial profiles of drug concentration can be tuned to slow the emergence of antibiotic resistance. In this work\, we combine lab evolution experiments in spatially connected\, computer-controlled chemostats with mathematical models to investigate resistance evolution in E. faecalis\, an opportunistic bacterial pathogen. We find that both the rate of adaptation to doxycycline\, a protein-synthesis inhibiting antibiotic\, and the associated cost of resistance in the associated mutants depends strongly on drug concentration in spatially uniform populations. Interestingly\, when spatially separated subpopulations are exposed to different concentrations of drug\, adaptation can be dramatically slowed by tuning the rate of migration between habitats\, leading to selection for phenotypically distinct resistant mutants. Our results highlight the rich evolutionary dynamics of adaptation in spatially connected habitats and indicate that resistance evolution can be slowed by balancing evolutionary trade-offs of migration and heterogeneity.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Investigation of structural switch that regulates pre-miR-92a processing by NMR
DESCRIPTION:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression in a variety of biological pathways such as development and tumorigenesis. miRNAs are initially expressed as a long primary transcripts (pri-miRNA) which are processed to yield pre-miRNAs and ultimately mature miRNAs. The miR-17-92a cluster\, also known as ‘oncomiR-1’ is a polycistronic pri-miRNA that plays a pivotal regulatory role in cellular processes\, including the cell cycle\, proliferation and apoptosis. OncomiR-1 includes six constitute miRNAs\, each processed with different efficiencies as a function of both developmental time and tissue type. However\, the structural mechanism that regulate the differential processing still remain unclear.\nNMR is a key technique that has significantly advanced our understanding of RNA structure and dynamics. In vitro processing assays indicate that pre-miR-92a processing is inhibited relative to other miRs within oncomiR-1. We are interested in uncovering the structural basis for the differential processing by NMR. NPSL2 has been identified as an inhibitor of pre-miR-92a processing. Therefore\, in this work we determined the solution structure of NPSL2. Our data suggest that NPSL2 is dynamic\, and we hypothesize that the dynamics are linked to regulation of processing. Our ongoing efforts will investigate the mechanism of the structural switch that promotes premiR-92a processing in the context of the full-length oncomiR-1 RNA.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MCDB Seminar: Unraveling the Function of the Sorting Adaptor Complex AP-4 in Health and Disease
DESCRIPTION:Host: Ming Li\n\nHeterotetrameric adaptor protein (AP) complexes play key roles in protein sorting and transport vesicle formation in the endomembrane system of eukaryotic cells. One of these complexes\, AP-4\, was identified over 20 years ago but\, up until recently\, its function remained unclear. AP-4 associates with the trans-Golgi network (TGN) through interaction with small GTPases of the ARF family. Recent studies identified the autophagy protein ATG9A as a specific AP-4 cargo. Defective export of ATG9A from the TGN in AP-4-deficient cells was shown to reduce ATG9A delivery to pre-autophagosomal structures\, impairing autophagosome maturation. In addition\, mutations in AP-4-subunit genes were found to cause neurological dysfunction in mice and a form of complicated hereditary spastic paraplegia referred to as 'AP-4-deficiency syndrome' in humans. These findings demonstrated that mammalian AP-4 is required for the development and function of the central nervous system\, possibly through its role in the sorting of ATG9A for the maintenance of autophagic homeostasis. In my talk\, I will review the properties and functions of AP-4\, and discuss how they might explain the clinical features of AP-4 deficiency.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Psychology Methods Hour:  Comparing methods for analyzing intensive longitudinal data: Inferences from regressions\, multilevel models\, and networks
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nIntensive longitudinal methods (ILMs) involve repeatedly assessing individuals over short periods of time often in the context of their everyday lives. These are the methods used in intensive longitudinal\, ecological momentary assessment\, and time series studies. ILMs have the potential to uncover temporal change in daily processes\, intraindividual variability\, and even person-specific effects\, but they are rarely used in these ways\, especially in psychological research. This presentation will illustrate three different techniques for the analysis of illustrative data from a 75-day intensive longitudinal study on daily cognition\, personality\, and health. The results provide insight into how regressions\, multilevel models\, and person-specific temporal network analyses of these data lead to disparate inferences about daily processes and individual differences.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:NERS Department Merit Award Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Advanced Clean Energy and Production – Accelerating Energy Transitions Through Adaptive Clean Energy and Industrial Capacity\n\nNational and Global economies must rapidly transition to a clean energy footing across power\, industries\, and transportation.  There is perhaps no better time to examine not only what sources of energy we will rely on\, but also the fundamental energy production and delivery architectures\, their related implications\, and resulting opportunities. In many cases policy is focusing on replacing carbon-emitting energy generation (e.g. coal generation) with distributed zero-carbon sources (e.g. distributed wind\, solar) with a concomitant buildout of electrical transmission systems and energy storage. Relying on such an evolutionary approach on an accelerated timeframe might well be possible\, but most likely will create resilience issues and security concerns and require substantial overbuild of capacity to address those concerns. It is not unreasonable then to ask – is there a better\, more efficient\, higher certainty\, and adaptable approach to augment this path to clean energy production and delivery systems?\n\nOne approach might be to imagine the deployment of advanced energy and production architectures based on numbers of very small nuclear reactors (10-100 MWt). The strategy is to power principally difficult to decarbonize\, energy-intense industries by embedding small\, scalable clean energy generators (micro-nuclear reactors) with modularized industrial and manufacturing processes in small increments\, resulting in islanded clean energy and production centers. Such an approach effectively trades “efficiencies of scale” with “economies of number”. Although co-location of energy and industry/manufacturing is certainly not new\, the strategy to a) incrementally provision (i.e. add blocks of energy generation and production\, as feasible and required) and b) use factory-built\, mass-produced\, plug-and-play small nuclear reactors (referred to as “nuclear batteries” or “quantum batteries”) opens very different options and opportunities than prior approaches. Several related intriguing implications of such an approach might be considered\, including how such a strategy might make more efficient use of scarce investment capital\, implications for systems resilience and security\, potential for enabling energy community transitions (e.g. coal community transitions)\, and enabling energy provisioning for rapidly growing communities with poorly developed infrastructures.\n\nThe presentation and discussion will examine basic elements of the “adaptive clean energy” (ACE) strategy built on embedded nuclear batteries and modular production and related implications including technology\, business\, economic\, regulatory and policy gaps. (Buongiorno\, Freda\, Aumeier and Chilton\, “A Strategy to Unlock the Potential of Nuclear Energy for a New and Resilient Global Energy-Industrial Paradigm”\, The Bridge 51(2): 48-56)\n\nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Aumeier serves as Senior Advisor for nuclear energy programs and strategy at Idaho National Laboratory. In this role\, he is responsible for developing strategies\, programs\, initiatives\, and partnerships to advance U.S. energy security and clean energy objectives. Over three decades of service in the national laboratory system\, Dr. Aumeier has provided innovative leadership in a variety of business\, management\, and research roles spanning national and homeland security\, clean energy and systems research\, nuclear energy technology\, and university research partnerships. He is a recognized expert and thought leader in technology\, business\, and clean energy strategies. He was named to his current post in 2016 after serving for 6 years as Associate Laboratory Director for Energy and Environment and Director of the Center for Advanced Energy Studies\, where he designed and led strategic\, technical\, and business transformation and growth initiatives including major recruiting and reorganization campaigns\, development of new laboratory facilities and research capabilities\, and innovation in the management of 130 research laboratories and 350 employees. Prior to this\, he served as Director of the Energy Systems and Technologies Division where he developed the concept for and led the development of a major new national program focused on integrated energy systems\, was Director of the Laboratory’s Energy Security Initiative\, and was Director of Nuclear Nonproliferation. Before joining INL\, Dr. Aumeier served for 10 years (1995-2005) with Argonne National Laboratory where he served in various leadership positions in nuclear energy and national security research and management\, including leading the development of new nondestructive assay and experiment design and analysis methods\, developing new homeland security programs\, and serving as Deputy Associate Laboratory Director for Engineering Research. He also served a special assignment (2002-2003) with the National Nuclear Security Administration in Washington DC as a technical advisor on counterterrorism issues where he helped establish national strategies to address radiological threats. He has served on or led numerous academic and regional leadership boards and committees including Idaho’s Leadership in Nuclear Energy Commission and Idaho Global Entrepreneurial Mission\, and Idaho Strategic Energy Alliance.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Professor Andy Ho\, University of Michigan\, Program in Organizational Studies & Department of Psychology
DESCRIPTION:Researchers have used social dominance\, system justification\, authoritarianism\, and social identity theories\, to understand intergroup phenomena ranging from racial categorization to political movements. The result has been a growing understanding of how particular sociopolitical motives and contexts impact intergroup relations\, without a unifying perspective to integrate these insights. Using research on multiracial categorization as a case study\, I review evidence supporting each theory’s predictions concerning how monoracial perceivers categorize multiracial people that combine their ingroup with an outgroup\, with attention to the moderating role of perceiver group status. I find most studies in the multiracial categorization literature cannot arbitrate between theories of intergroup relations and reveal additional gaps in the literature. To advance this research area\, I introduce the Sociopolitical Motive x Intergroup Threat (SMIT) Model of Intergroup Relations that 1) clarifies which sociopolitical motives interact with which intergroup threats to predict categorization and 2) highlights the role of perceiver group status. Moreover\, I consider how the SMIT model can help understand phenomena beyond multiracial categorization.

SUMMARY:Presentation:CCN Forum:  How We Integrate Motivational Value to Guide Cognitive Control
DESCRIPTION:Motivation is a powerful process that shapes decision-making and goal-directed behavior in daily life\, yet the precise neural and computational mechanisms that underlie the interaction between motivation and cognitive control are not well understood. An outstanding question relates to the integrated and dissociable influences of diverse incentives on cognitive control allocation. In my talk\, I will present data from two lines of research that address the following questions: 1) How are different categories of incentives (e.g.\, primary\, secondary) integrated to influence cognitive control task performance? And 2) To what extent does the valence of incentives (e.g.\, positive vs negative) differentially influence the type of effort strategy utilized during cognitive control allocation? First\, I will present findings from a human fMRI study utilizing a novel incentive integration paradigm which provides a powerful investigative tool to examine the integrated influence of monetary rewards and liquid incentives (e.g.\, juice\, neutral solution\, saltwater) on cognitive task performance. We find evidence that the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex encodes the subjective motivational value signal of “bundled” incentives (i.e.\, a “neural common currency” reflecting the combined value from monetary and liquid incentives) to modulate motivated task performance. Next\, I will present results from behavioral and fMRI studies utilizing an innovative self-paced incentivized Stroop task examining how monetary rewards versus penalties guide divergent strategies for adaptive control allocation. Using a normative model based on the Expected Value of Control\, we find a striking dissociation in that reward incentives facilitate attention-related strategies (increased drift rate)\, whereas penalty incentives facilitate inhibition-related strategies (increased threshold). Preliminary fMRI results suggest dissociable neural mechanisms underlie both attention-related and inhibition-related strategies. Finally\, I highlight current directions investigating how such motivation-control interactions change across the adult lifespan\, and how a greater understanding of these interactions may help inform motivation-related impairments in psychiatric disorders (e.g.\, depression\, anxiety).

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Craft The Future - LVMH Live Chat: Process & Progress
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an opportunity to hear from Early Career Professionals about how they’ve processed events pertaining to their identities outside of the workplace and leveraged their differences to progress withintheir working environments and professional journeys. We received a question during our most recent LVMH Happiness sessions in which a participant asked about the difficulty of finding internships as a person of color. Though we couldn’t answer this in enough time live with all of the other great questions we were receiving\, it was something that we made sure to marinate on regarding how we can be even more transparent and authentic in the type of support that we provide to diverse talents as this was something that we had been working on exploring in our upcoming events. Wanting to acknowledge this synergy is what led us to creating this event. We want to provide a space for talents of all demographics and backgrounds to get a deeper look into the mindset of diverse talents\, both internal and external\, as it pertains to the experiences\, challenges\, lessons learned and growth from their professional/career journey.\n

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Diego Rivera and the Detroit Industry Murals at the DIA
DESCRIPTION:Carlene VanVoorhies\, DIA Docent\, will take us on a virtual tour to learn the complex and intriguing story behind Diego Rivera and his Detroit Industry Murals.  The “Detroit Industry Murals” (1932-1933) are a series of frescoes by the Mexican artist Diego Rivera\, consisting of twenty-seven panels depicting industry at the Ford Motor Company and in Detroit. \n\nTogether they surround the interior Rivera Court in the Detroit Institute of Arts. Painted between 1932 and 1933\, they were considered by Rivera to be his most successful work.  On 23 April 2014\, the “Detroit Industry Murals” were designated by the Department of Interior as a National Historic Landmark.\n\nPreregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the lecture will be e-mailed prior to the event.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | de Sitter decays to infinity
DESCRIPTION:The bubble of nothing is a gravitational instanton that can be thought of as describing tunneling through a vanishing scalar potential barrier to a vacuum at infinity. I will discuss generalizations of this process to nonzero scalar potentials with metastable de Sitter vacua. In simple cases\, approximate bubble-of-nothing solutions can be constructed analytically. More generally\, the problem can be formulated as a set of CdL equations with singular boundary conditions and solved numerically.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Silver & Gold New Insights to Wire Formation
DESCRIPTION:Much more common in silver than in gold\, the unusual morphology know as a “wire” can resemble the finest of threads to the strongest of ropes.  Although they have adorned the shelves of mineral collections for centuries\, very little has been known about wire specimens until recently.  Are they single crystals or bundles of many fibrous crystals? How do they grow? Some have suggested extrusion. Answers to these questions and discovery of unexpected and yet unexplained isotope compositions have resulted from our work.\n\nThose wishing to attend remotely should log in to Zoom ID#989 8458 7392\n\nPlease note:\nBefore entering any U-M building\, all visitors\, contractors and vendors are required to complete a preliminary health screening via the guest version of ResponsiBLUE. The questionnaire includes information about U-M's face covering policy and expectations for unvaccinated individuals to continue to mask and distance while indoors on any of U-M's campuses.\n\nGo to: https://campusblueprint.umich.edu/prevention-testing-care/prevention/responsiblue/\n\nDr. John Rakovan is a professor of mineralogy at Miami University in Oxford\, Ohio. John received his Ph.D. from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1996 and spent a year as a postdoctoral fellow at Virginia Tech before starting at Miami. He has broad research interests including crystal growth\, structural and morphologic crystallography\, mineral-water interface geochemistry\, and mineral deposit formation.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:POSTPONED TO 10/29--CSAS Lecture | Misinformation and Political Twitter in India
DESCRIPTION:This event has been rescheduled for October 29.\n\nIn the last decade\, India has seen a massive uptake in the adoption\, and frequency of technology use by citizens\, making social media a primary means of information access for a large part of the Indian citizenry. This talk uses three instances of coordinated online misinformation around the COVID-19\, the 2021 farmer protests\, and the demise of a movie star to highlight ways in which social media has become a feeder channel for mainstream media in India. I show that in each case\, misinformation related to the primary event was crafted to engage alternate targets – including communities\, activists\, political actors\, or celebrities\, and that this was done within a larger narrative of belonging and citizenship.\n   \n   Joyojeet Pal is an associate professor at the School of Information at the University of Michigan and a Senior Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research India. His research examines the use of social media in mainstream politics.\n\nPlease register in advance for this zoom webinar here: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUkdu-qpzooHdA1Rh0H6trGUh2Za_qxWuGt\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

SUMMARY:Performance:Okkervil River (solo) & Damien Jurado
DESCRIPTION:*By purchasing a ticket you agree that you and your guests will comply with all laws\, orders\, ordinances\, regulations and health and safety guidance adopted by the State of Michigan\, the County of Washtenaw and The Ark\, including any guidelines in place at the time of the show. Attendees who do not comply will be asked to leave. Policies will be updated as circumstances and requirements change in our community. Please review The Ark’s current COVID-related information before attending a show.*\n\nOver the course of their career\, Okkervil River has released nine albums that have given front man Will Sheff a reputation as one of the greatest working songwriters in the country. As Sheff and his shifting lineup of players have traveled the world many times over\, they’ve made fans ranging from Lou Reed to Barack Obama and been praised by outlets from the New York Times to NPR to Pitchfork\, who called Sheff “One of indie rock’s most ambitious thinkers”.\n\nLast year saw Okkervil River’s two-decades-plus trek around the globe captured in A Dream in the Dark\, an expansive release anthologizing 20 years of live performance\, spanning from pin- drop listening rooms to stadium stages - released on ATO Records.\n\nIn addition to his work with Okkervil River\, Sheff composes for film and television\, has written for the Times\, McSweeney’s\, Gawker and Rolling Stone\, worked as a producer on psych-rock legend Roky Erickson’s critically-acclaimed comeback album True Love Cast Out All Evil\, and released his directorial film debut Down Down the Deep River in 2015.\n\n \n\nOn The Monster Who Hated Pennsylvania\, Damien Jurado gathers up ten stories of people determined not to be broken by their dire circumstances. “The world is a liar\, the stars are a must\,” he sings over brushed drums\, a circling bassline\, and acoustic guitar on “Helena\,” which opens his 17th album\, the first release from Damien’s own Maraqopa Records. Dire circumstances have long been fixtures of Jurado’s songs\, which are filled with ghosts\, killers\, cruel lovers\, and the occasional UFO cult or false messiah. But here\, the scenes are earthy\, drawn from ordinary but no less immense calamities: hurricanes moving toward town\, strained connections\, amnesiacs in the front yard. On The Monster Who Hated Pennsylvania\, Jurado pulls the curtains shut\, blocking out “the light now embarrassed and afraid of the dark\,” as he sings on “Tom\,” one of the album’s haunting numbers\, only to throw them open the exact moment sunshine needs to come flooding in.\n\nJurado has certainly made sparser records than The Monster\, but sonically it is among his most exposed\, stripping away the cosmic gloss that defined his trio of albums with the late Richard Swift in favor of dry\, homespun ambiance. “In a lot of ways\, it’s a continuation of the work I did with Swift\,” Jurado says. Had the producer not passed away in 2018—he’s been memorialized in a number of Damien’s recent songs—it’s likely the duo would have found themselves drawn in this direction too\, Damien suspects\, noting that the addition by subtraction approach imbued the new album with a certain quality of “emptiness\,” creating the feel of a sort of spiritual karaoke track\, tailor made for personal projection. “I wanted to leave space for the listener\,” Jurado says.\n\nKnown for working fast—he’s usually got a handful of finished albums at the ready at any given time—the compositions here are uncluttered\, but not slight\, decorated by Beatles-esque bass-lines\, drums\, and strings. Inspired by the sound of records like Lou Reed’s The Bells and Paul McCartney’s Ram\, Jurado produced the new album himself\, employing “a certain dryness\,” which allowed the songs to feel cavernous\, even “after spending so long in reverb land\,” Jurado laughs.\n\nJurado’s discography is full of detours—from answering machine collages to full-on electric rock band outings— but there’s a through line connecting it all\, evidence of an almost oracular or prophetic unease that lurks in Jurado’s headspace. Listening to The Monster Who Hated Pennsylvania\, you can still hear that young man living within these songs\, speaking as if from the other side\, about the circumstances that crush people or leave them vexed. “The loneliest place I’ve ever been is in your arms\,” he sings on the ghostly\, Jason Molina-evoking “Male Customer #1”\; “I hadn’t been in a car yet/Hearing the world through your eyes\,” he sings on the quixotic “Jennifer.”\n\nOn the album’s most harrowing and gripping song “Johnny Caravella\,” he dreams up an epic of American strangeness in the vein of Springsteen’s “State Trooper” or Suicide’s “Frankie Teardrop.” His voice cracking over a distorted maw of guitars\, Jurado narrates a frantic drive west\, tuned into the sound of prophecy coming over the radio: “All is not lost/Even if you’re without a direction.” “Just stick around till the light pushes into the darkness\,” Damien promises - or admits - at the burned-out husk of the song’s conclusion. Jurado’s best songs have long concerned inevitabilities. On The Monster Who Hated Pennsylvania\, he offers up his own Twilight Zone\, “a middle ground between light and shadow”…a dimension of imagination\, of half-remembered dreams and people reaching out to cross into that liminal space between heartbreak and wholeness. Jurado knows the territory well. He knows the secret words to whisper at the right time. Press your eye to the speaker\, tune your ear to the horizon.\n\n-Jason P. Woodbury Aquarium Drunkard
