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:Carlo Vitale Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Carlo Vitale is a distinguished Michigan-based artist whose vibrant contributions to the Detroit art scene have flourished since the 1970s. A native of Detroit\, Vitale's work is celebrated as part of the second generation of the Cass Corridor Art Movement\, Detroit’s first avante garde. His art draws inspiration from the sweeping vistas of farmland seen from above\, the intricate patterns of quilt-making\, the dynamic energy of cityscapes\, and the rich tapestry of daily life. Vitale eloquently characterizes his mesmerizing oil paintings and prints as “kinetic\, metaphysical abstractions\,” inviting viewers to engage with the depth and vitality of his creative vision.\n\nVitale received his Bachelor of Fine Arts and Masters of Fine Arts from Wayne State University in Detroit.  His work can be found in many collections including The Whitney Museum of Fine Art in New York\, The Detroit Institute of Art\, Cranbrook Art Museum\, Wayne State University Collection\, University of Michigan Museum of Art and corporate\, hospital\, and private collections throughout the country.

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:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n

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:Lecture / Discussion:Deep Learning-Assisted Approximate Bayesian Inference with Applications to Astronomy
DESCRIPTION:Approximate Bayesian methods provide a principled means for inference in settings in which exact posterior inference is intractable. In this work\, I present methods for variational inference\, an approach to approximate Bayesian inference in which an approximation to the posterior is selected by numerical optimization. The approaches and analysis primarily consider amortized variational inference\, a class of techniques that leverages deep learning to obtain a mapping from data instances to variational approximations of the posterior. First\, I present SMC-Wake\, a likelihood-based approach for minimization of the forward KL divergence. This algorithm uses Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) samplers to construct inexpensive particle approximations for training an inference network. Next\, I present a study of neural posterior estimation (NPE) and its objective function\, the expected forward KL divergence. This likelihood-free approach to amortized inference averages over large amounts of simulated data from the model to learn mappings from data instances to variational approximations of the posterior. I present an analysis of this approach from the perspective of neural tangent kernel (NTK) theory. Under certain conditions on the variational family and neural network mapping\, I show that NPE optimizes a convex functional and reliably converges to a unique solution in the asymptotic infinite-width limit\, despite the highly nonconvex nature of neural network optimization landscapes. Finally\, I extend these results to posit a novel class of expressive variational families based on linear combinations of basis functions\, and propose a procedure to adaptively fit these basis functions to parameterize complex distributions. When targeting the forward KL divergence within this framework\, the objective is convex in the variational parameters\, but nevertheless allows for practitioners to fit highly multimodal variational approximations to the posterior. We conclude with applications of these methods to difficult problems in astronomy\, such as redshift estimation from astronomical images\, and the task of detecting blended astronomical spectra.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Rigorous Derivation of the Wave Kinetic Equation for \beta-FPUT System
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nWhile the WKE has been rigorously derived for the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation in dimensions d\ge 2 and for the Majda–McLaughlin–Tabak model in d=1\, there is still lack of rigorous justification for the \beta-FPUT model whose sinusoidal dispersion and unconserved frequency shift pose additional obstacles. In this thesis\, we establish the WKE for a reduced evolution equation\, removing the nonresonant terms\, from the one‑dimensional \beta-FPUT chain. We work in the kinetic limit N \to \infty and \beta \to 0 under the scaling laws \beta=N^{-\gamma} with 0<\gamma<1. The result holds up to the sub‑kinetic time scale T=N^{-\epsilon}\min(N\, N^{5/4\gamma})=N^{-\epsilon}T_{kin}^{5/8} for \epsilon\ll1\, where T_{kin} represents the kinetic (thermalization) timescale. We also prove a sufficient upper bound for the nonlinearity parameter $\beta$ that allows one to perform the canonical transformation on the original evolution equation. This upper bound suggests a scaling between \beta and N\, which governs the importance of the non-resonant terms in the original equation. By applying the symplectic integrator method\, we further develop numerical studies on the  \beta-FPUT model\, comparing the magnitudes of resonant and nonresonant sums across various nonlinearity strengths and particle numbers to verify the predicted \beta-threshold.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Webinar: The Great Bay Eelgrass Resilience Project: Lessons Learned Doing Cutting Edge Science with Broad Community Input
DESCRIPTION:The Eelgrass Resilience Project was a three-year collaborative research effort designed to bridge science and management and address eelgrass habitat loss in the Great Bay Estuary\, NH. The estuary is currently classified as nitrogen impaired\, primarily due to significant declines in eelgrass (Zostera marina). Despite more than a decade of discussion\, uncertainty remains about the factors affecting eelgrass health and the role of nitrogen reduction—creating challenges for effective action.\n\nThis project brought together hydrodynamics\, biogeochemistry\, and ecology to explore how factors such as water residence time\, nitrogen loading\, in-situ nitrogen processing\, sediment dynamics\, and light availability influence eelgrass resilience. The team assessed spatial trends across the estuary and conducted a cutting-edge experiment to measure nitrogen processing along a flow path through an eelgrass meadow. In this webinar\, we’ll present our scientific methods\, key findings\, and project deliverables. We’ll also share insights from working with a Project Advisory Committee that connected our team with municipal and state decision-makers\, as well as national experts who provided real-time peer feedback throughout the project.
