SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.\n\n[The Hatcher Library will be closed December 21 to January 1.]

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Bill Jackson Photography Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is entitled HOMECOMING because it has been almost 6 years since Bill was scheduled to have an exhibition at NCRC Gallery.  However\, his untimely passing in 2018 prevented the exhibition.  In honor of the artist\, his wife Meighen Jackson has assembled this body of work for this exhibition.\n\nA 1960’s graduate of Monteith College at Wayne State\, Bill saw himself not as a storyteller nor a documentarian\, but as a photographer seeking images with the power and creativity of late 20th century painting and music making.\n\nBill Jackson’s work is represented nationally by Walter Wickiser Gallery in Manhattan and regionally by M Contemporary in Ferndale\, MI.   It is included in many permanent collections including Wayne State University in Detroit.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Enna Diddio Exhibition \"War Relics\"
DESCRIPTION:Enna Diddio was born and raised in Detroit.  She is a multimedia artist with a newfound attachment to printmaking. A recent Wayne State Fine Arts graduate\, with a major in Drawing\, Diddio’s work is versatile and inquisitive. She is a strong proponent of City of Detroit\, with a strong sense of community\, craftsmanship\, and creativity. They have created as space between traditionally taught skills and the contemporary methods to apply them and I desire to function within that space.\n\nThe works in the exhibition “War Relics” speak directly to the printmaking qualities and imagery of Western war iconography and memorabilia. In recent years the artist has gravitated towards signage\, print\, poster\, stamp\, reproduction and automation and highlighting the roll advertisement and design play in war. Some pieces include pin up nose bird art\, signage\, ration packaging and wartime tattoo flash.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:My Gender States
DESCRIPTION:On display at Lane Hall\, Rogério M. Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In \"My Gender States\,\" Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister. \n\nUsing autoethnography\, Pinto created a one-person play (\"Marília\,\" 2015) and site-specific installation performance (\"The Realm of the Dead\,\" 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas\, gender states\, and his life experience—a story of the struggles\, fears\, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In \"Realm\,\" audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he\, a queer immigrant\, carried with him. \"My Gender States\" is a selection of materials\, images\, and texts from \"Marília\" and \"Realm\" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states\, gender confusion\, gender embodiments\, gender doubt\, and reactions to gender stigma. \n\nRogério M. Pinto (Brazilian\, American\, b. 1965\, Belo Horizonte\, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor\; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work\; and Professor of Theatre and Drama\, School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, at the University of Michigan. Pinto uses art-based methods to conduct community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil.\n\nThe photographs used in \"My Gender States\" are by Emerson Granillo (American\, b. 1987)\; David Newton (American\, b. 1993)\; and Nicholas Williams (American\, b. 1994). The \"Realm\" assemblages featured in \"My Gender States\" were conceived by Pinto and designed by him\, in collaboration with Sarah Tanner. \n\n\"My Gender States\" is on display in the Lane Hall Exhibit Space (first floor\, 204 S State St) from January 23\, to August 13\, 2024. The exhibit is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.\n\nHosted by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women’s and Gender Studies Department.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Student Dissertation Defense: John David Curlis\, EEB Ph.D. Student
DESCRIPTION:Preview: The effects of changing environments on phenotypic evolution are often studied in the context of climate and temperature change. However\, changes in habitat structure and their associated light environments can also have substantial impacts on phenotypic evolution\, especially for organisms that use color for intra- and interspecific signaling. According to the sensory drive hypothesis\, adaptive signaling traits should use the colors that are most easily perceived in a given environmental context. However\, such environments are likely to change as a result of anthropogenic activities\, offering a powerful opportunity to test these predictions in natural populations. Using the Panamanian slender anole (Anolis apletophallus)\, which exhibits color polymorphism in its dewlap (categorized as a solid morph that is entirely orange and a bicolor morph that is mostly white with a small orange spot)\, we tested the relationship between morph frequencies and the light environment over nearly 40 years in a single population in Soberanía National Park\, Panama. Our findings supported the sensory drive hypothesis\, as dewlap morph frequencies were strongly correlated with light variables independently of neutral genetic structure. Moreover\, we found surprisingly limited evidence that morphs differ in morphology\, physiology\, sperm characteristics\, or behavior\, suggesting that the historical stability and persistence of this color polymorphism over time may be primarily driven by the light environment. These results provide a framework for understanding the relative importance of factors that drive color evolution under changing light environments\, especially as humans continue to alter habitat structure at unprecedented scales.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Learning and Inference for Adaptable Manipulation Planning
DESCRIPTION:Committee Chair: Dmitry Berenson\n\nAbstract:\nA central challenge for developing general-purpose robot assistants is the development of algorithms for robot manipulation that can perform a wide range of tasks across a diverse set of environments. This thesis develops planning and trajectory optimization methods that can adapt to new and unforeseen systems. The key to these methods is the ability of robots to learn from experience and reason about related uncertainty. Using modern machine learning and approximate probabilistic inference techniques\, the work in this thesis improves the ability of planning methods to do so. \n\nProbabilistic inference is useful in two ways. First\, by using a probabilistic framing\, probabilities can be used as a way of expressing confidence in our current models. I develop a method that learns to predict the uncertainty of a given dynamics model with a small amount of data collected online and avoids areas where the model is uncertain. I also propose an approach that learns a generative model of control sequences to complete a given task. I demonstrate that we can detect and adapt this generative model to situations where the environment differs from the training environments. \n\nSecond\, I incorporate probabilistic inference into the proposed methods by viewing planning itself as an inference problem. By framing planning as inference\, we construct probability distributions over trajectories. This framework allows me to develop a method that views constrained trajectory optimization as inference\, generating diverse sets of constraint-satisfying trajectories for completing manipulation tasks. This allows improved adaptation to online disturbances\, since at any given time\, there is a set of trajectories to select from. I demonstrate the effectiveness of this method on several different tasks\, including a 7DoF manipulator turning a wrench and a 16DoF multi-fingered hand turning a precision screwdriver.

You do not have to be affiliated with the University in order to attend. \n\nThe mission of the Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques (SISRT) is to provide rigorous and high quality graduate training in all phases of survey research. The program teaches state-of-the art practice and theory in the design\, implementation\, and analysis of surveys. \n \nSpace is limited so please register early! Since our courses are not for academic credit\, fees are based on the number of assigned “course hours” to each class.\n\nPlease view the 2024 course schedule for our extensive class offerings. Classes are offered remotely at their scheduled times.\n\nThis course provides an introduction to supervised statistical learning techniques such as decision trees\, random forests and boosting and discusses their potential application in the social sciences. These methods focus on predicting an outcome Y based on some learned function f(X) and therefore facilitate new research perspectives in comparison with traditional regression models\, which primarily focus on causation. Predictive methods also provide a valuable extension to the empirical social scientists’ toolkit as new data sources become more prominent. In addition to introducing supervised learning methods\, the course will include practical sessions to demonstrate how to tune and evaluate prediction models using the statistical programming language R.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RNA Innovation Seminar: Alexandra Piotrowski-Daspit\, University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:HYBRID SEMINAR:\nIn-person: BSRB\, Kahn Auditorium \nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_mr2BfdnHQ9OCJN7Eg7pk4Q\n\nAbstract: The primary barrier for clinical translation of RNA therapeutics remains delivery to target tissues in vivo. Upon entering the body\, delivery vehicles encounter extracellular and intracellular barriers. It is also unclear how carrier design features impact physiological interactions with biological systems\, highlighting the need for studies that elucidate these structure-function relationships. In this seminar\, I will describe our work on developing polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) to deliver therapeutic RNAs to a variety of tissues following local and systemic IV administration. We find that gene therapy can be significantly enhanced using a new class of polymeric vehicles consisting of poly(amine-co-ester) (PACE) polymers that are designed for safe and effective nucleic acid delivery. We have also developed tools to study nanomaterial-biology interactions in animal models\, including a high-throughput quantitative microscopy-based platform to measure circulation half-life and biodistribution in vivo. This tool\, alongside the development of novel polymeric carriers\, can be used to study the structure-function relationships that guide the physiological fate of NPs in order to rationally design more effective delivery vehicles for RNA delivery.\n\nKeywords: RNA therapeutics\, in vivo delivery\, polymeric nanoparticles (NPs)\, nanomaterial-biology interactions
