SUMMARY:Exhibition:Behind the Curve: Rainbows and the Science and Culture of Color
DESCRIPTION:We have many significant books from the history of our understanding of rainbows and color theory\, from the writings of scholar Ḥasan Ibn al-Haytham to Isaac Newton’s 1704 Opticks. Rainbows appear across the spectrum of our collections\, and this exhibit includes a handwritten illuminated manuscript\, practical color manuals of the industrial age\, contemporary artists’ and children’s books\, and more from our vast holdings. \n\nRainbows have captivated people for all of recorded history. It’s hard not to think of them as physical objects\, but they are really just distorted images of the sun\, positioned around the viewer’s head. They require someone to perceive them to exist\, and thus have much in common with colors and color theory in general. And\, like colors\, they are about relationships: of one color next to another\, and of colors and the people who see them. The rainbow has had many different cultural interpretations over the years\, and most recently has become synonymous with gay pride\, appearing all over each June.\n\nHatcher Gallery Exhibit Room Hours:\nSunday\, 2-8pm\nMonday-Thursday\, 9am-8pm\nFriday\, 9am-4pm\nSaturday\, 11am-5pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Student Dissertation Defense - Comparing micro- and macroevolutionary diversification dynamics between Neotropical montane and lowland birds
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe tropical Andes mountains and adjacent Amazonian lowlands are home to more species than anywhere else in the world. Prior work suggests that avian species richness declines but speciation rates increase as elevation increases in this biodiversity hotspot. Tropical mountains are also characterized by steep elevational turnover in environmental conditions\, including the availability of oxygen. My thesis compares diversification and selection dynamics between lowland Amazonian and Andean montane species\, with a special emphasis on tanagers\, an iconic Neotropical radiation and the most speciose family of songbirds. I focus on how patterns and processes of the early stages of speciation vary across elevation in the Andes-Amazonia system\, and on the molecular evolutionary consequences of hypoxic stress at high altitudes.\nWhether large macroevolutionary biodiversity gradients emerge from underlying microevolutionary processes is an active area of research in evolutionary biology. For example\, elevational gradients in speciation rates could be caused by geographic variation in the tendency for populations to become isolated and diverged from one another. A major focus of my dissertation is evaluating whether Neotropical montane and lowland regions differentially promote incipient speciation\, linking microevolutionary processes to broader biodiversity patterns. First (Chapter 2)\, I aggregated previously published mitochondrial phylogeographic datasets from birds in the Andes-Amazonia system (~7\,000 sequences from 103 species)\, to test whether levels of intraspecific population structure vary across elevation and whether rates of population differentiation predict speciation rates. My results revealed that phylogeographic structuring is higher in montane birds and increases with elevation\, but rates of population differentiation did not predict speciation rates in the focal set of taxa.\nNext (Chapter 3)\, I more rigorously explored how Andean and Amazonian landscapes promote population isolation and differentiation using whole-genome comparative phylogeography in 8 species of Tangara tanagers (4 Andean and 4 Amazonian). My results show that Andean species consist of more differentiated\, less connected\, smaller\, and less genetically diverse populations than Amazonian species. This supports a scenario of greater incipient speciation in the mountains\, but these same characteristics also reduce persistence in a theoretical metapopulation framework. In conjunction with results from my previous chapter\, I suggest that there exists a tension between factors promoting divergence versus persistence\, which could contribute to observed elevational biodiversity gradients in Neotropical birds.\nFinally\, elevational gradients are also marked by increasing hypoxia at higher altitudes\, an important physiological stress owing to the essential role that oxygen plays in cellular energy production. In Chapter 4\, I use comparative genomic methods across 20 species of Neotropical tanagers to test whether signatures of selection in oxidative phosphorylation genes vary with elevation. I find evidence of stronger purifying selection on components of this metabolic pathway in species with higher elevational distributions\, expanding our understanding of how tropical montane species cope with reduced oxygen availability.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Frontiers in Scientific Machine Learning Seminar 14: Inferring and Characterizing Cellular and Neural Dynamics with Geometric and Topological Deep Learning
DESCRIPTION:This is a hybrid event. Attendees can join on-campus or virtually via Zoom.\nZoom ID - 978 2352 7756\, Passcode - (last year in format YYYY)\n\nAbstract: \nIn the last decade there has been a data revolution in biology with the advent of high-throughput high dimensional data modalities such as single-cell RNA-sequencing\, fMRI data\, molecular structure data and other modalities. A key issue in these data types is that they provide static snapshots of highly dynamic biological entities. In this talk I will cover our work inferring and characterizing cellular and neural dynamics during various processes. First\, I will cover how to infer cell state dynamics during differentiation and disease with a  neural ODE framework called MIOflow that is regularized with data geometric and manifold priors. Then I will discuss RITINI\, our recent graph ODE network which allows us to learn gene regulation that underlies cellular dynamics\, and potentially find new targets for treatments of disease. I will showcase applications of these in triple negative breast cancer and human embryonic stem cell differentiation. Once these dynamics are available\, I will showcase tools to quantify and classify these dynamics based on graph signal processing and topological data analysis. This will involve our learnable geometric scattering transform to capture spatial signal patterns\, as well as persistence homology and other tools to quantify time-varying patterns. Applications to characterization of brain activity data will be presented. \n\n\nBio:\nSmita Krishnaswamy is an Associate Professor in the departments of Computer Science (SEAS) and Genetics (YSM).

SUMMARY:Presentation:A Theory of Higher Order Perivations
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nIn this thesis\, we develop a theory of higher-order perivations\, introducing a new class of algebraic operators termed perivential operators. Drawing inspiration from Grothendieck’s construction of differential operators via iterated commutators\, we define perivential operators inductively using a new bracket operation called the p-bracket. This framework generalizes perivations and mirrors the structural hierarchy of differential operators. We provide a new construction of the universal perivation module via a multiplication map\, analogous to the classical construction of the module of Kähler differentials. We establish a direct connection between this multiplication map and the perivential operators\, leading to the construction of a universal module of periventials that parallels the classical module of principal parts. Furthermore\, for finitely generated Z-algebras\, we give an explicit presentation of the universal module of periventials.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Dynamic Earth
DESCRIPTION:The show explores the inner workings of Earth’s climate system. With visualizations based on satellite monitoring data and advanced supercomputer simulations\, this cutting-edge production follows a trail of energy that flows from the Sun into the interlocking systems that shape our climate: the atmosphere\, oceans\, and the biosphere.\n\nAudiences will ride along on swirling ocean and wind currents\, dive into the heart of a monster hurricane\, come face-to-face with sharks and gigantic whales\, and fly into roiling volcanoes.
