SUMMARY:Exhibition:Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism
DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition is an in-depth exploration of the role of art as a powerful catalyst for environmental activism. At first glance\, these works each possess striking beauty. However\, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one’s perceptions. \n\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning\, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world.   Through a variety of mediums and techniques\, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change\, habitat loss\, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \n\nCampbell’s captivating “Heatscape” series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate.  This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands”\, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\n\n“Heatscape” invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world\, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment\, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\n\nSnider’s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization\, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art\, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence\, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone\, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately\, Snider’s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity\, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\n\nSandra Osip’s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures\, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact\, while Osip’s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss\, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms\, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\n\nCassells’ work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art\, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems\, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \n\nBy delving into these themes\, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so\, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues\, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \n\nShanna Merola’s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present.  Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching\, wandering\, photographing\, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation\, and global corporatism\, and community response.\n\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change.  Her work described as “wilderness-based\, science-inspired”\, serves as a bridge\, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so\, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work\, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment\, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\n\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives\, including cultural\, social\, and scientific viewpoints.  \nFurthermore\, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Brothers and Uncles\, Kings and Typecutters
DESCRIPTION:Explore the evolution of the printed page through the prism of one remarkable family of scholar-printers. \n\nPrinting changed the speed and scale at which information circulated. Over a century\, scholarly printers competed to produce carefully edited editions. As they produced more and more\, they developed methods\, such as page-layout and indices\, to make their books easy to read\, and they created dictionaries and reference books so a reader could get more from their books.\n\nThe Estienne family of printers are among the most renowned and long-lasting printing houses of the era. Family links and investment in scholarly training helped them to sustain a business in the print trade for six generations in France and Switzerland.\n\nThe Special Collections Research Center holds nearly 80 imprints dating from the first years of the sixteenth century into the reign of Louis XIV. View nineteen examples chosen to show the breadth of the Michigan Estienne collection in an era of amazing change.\n\nImage: Detail from \"Polemōnos\, Himeriou\, kai allōn tinōn meletai\,\" by Henri Estienne\, Paris 1567. The Olive tree device is the best-known emblem of the Estienne house\, surviving in over a dozen forms. First used by Robert I in 1526\, it refers to a passage in Romans 11 that praises humility in the face of divine will.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cathy Barry Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Cathy Barry has a profound connection to the natural world\, which has shaped her artistic journey. She focuses on expressing gratitude\, compassion\, and a sense of responsibility towards environmental protection. After years of working with traditional media such as oil\, acrylic\, and watercolor\, her art is transitioning to more sustainable materials. The pigments she uses in her collages are sourced entirely from plants\, all collected and processed by Cathy herself from various locations throughout Michigan. This natural paint has become a vital part of her expressive palette\, driving her to approach her work with a renewed sense of integrity and awareness of our interconnected ecosystem.\n\nIn her collages\, Cathy skillfully combines paper painted with her homemade botanical pigments and intricately punched shapes\, creating a distinctive micro-scale vocabulary. These miniature worlds are thoughtfully assembled within larger contexts\, challenging our perceptions of the universe and our place within it.\n\nRecently\, Cathy has embarked on a new adventure: creating art directly from plant materials. By collecting\, drying\, and weaving leaves\, she has developed an exciting rhythm in her process. Through simple weaving\, twining\, and basketry techniques\, she has deepened her enthusiasm for and connection to the plants surrounding her in her yard and neighborhood. This integration of materials with form and subject in her work evokes a serene wholeness that reflects nature's inherent wisdom. Additionally\, her journey has sparked a curiosity to explore the historical uses and roles of plants throughout history.\n\nCathy Barry is an artist and instructor living and working in Ann Arbor\, Mi. She is a Lecturer in the University of Michigan (UM) Stamps School of Art and Design\, the UM Program in the Environment and the UM Biological Station.

DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit- Closer: A look at the tiny world around us
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exhibit featuring the photography of Joseph Ferraro\, free and open to the public at Matthaei Botanical Gardens.\n\n \n\nBIO\n\nJoseph is a conservation photographer living and working in southeast Michigan. In 2014\, using macro photography to explore his backyard garden\, he unknowingly began walking a naturalist’s path and documenting native pollinators and invertebrates. His large format prints of local invertebrates are currently on exhibit outside of the Belle Isle Nature Center\, with other works on exhibit inside the Center. With them\, he seeks to inspire viewers to take a closer look at the tiny world around us.\n\n \n\nArtist Statement\n\nTo me\, the little things matter.\n\nThrough my work as a photographer\, I share the unseen and overlooked world of nature that surrounds us. My focus is exploring the world of invertebrates and showcasing these creatures in their natural habitat.\n\nMy creative process has evolved into a moving mediation\, as I Slow down to observe\, document and connect with my subjects as we interact in the environment. Ultimately\, I seek to capture the unique beauty of creatures not usually perceived as beautiful and aim to create images that evoke emotion and curiosity. In so doing I strive to raise awareness of the importance of these creatures in our world and dispel any fears the viewer may have.\n\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/josephferraro/\n\nWeb: https://www.joseph-ferraro.com

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 1): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:Phase 1 Opening Reception: September 18\, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.\nFrom September 2025 through August 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they've curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA '23) and Erin McKenna (MFA '20)Phase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA '20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA '20)Phase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA '20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA '21)\nPhase 1 Curatorial Statement\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Amelia Burns (entry pillar)Curated by CYNK Studios: Erin McKenna (courtyard pillar)\nArtists Amelia Burns and Erin McKenna reimagine the Division Street pillars through digital collages rooted in memory\, landscape and shared environments. Burns arranges fragments of her own photographs into airy compositions where these pictorial remnants become enshrined by the artist’s vision of the sacred. McKenna draws from the language of quilting\, organizing her photos of mushrooms\, moss and lichen into vibrant geometric patterns which echo Ohio textile traditions. Both artists\, Midwestern women attentive to the nuances of place\, weave personal imagery into collective meaning. Together\, their works create spaces of reverence and connection.\nAmelia Burns: GODSPROMISESRISINGHIGHGODSPROMISESRISINGHIGH contains fragments of photographs I have made over years in various locations in the United States. Each fragment holds personal meaning for me. The exalted pieces of environments float together and create a visual smorgasbord of symbols\, denoting a capitalist world\, filled with tender moments and connections\, where all objects are made holy.\nErin McKenna: Mushroom TrailMushroom Trail reimagines the Ohio Star quilt block through a collage of photographs of mushrooms\, lichen\, and moss gathered during walks in my Appalachian forest home. I created small blocks of repeating patterns to build texture and color. Inspired by the Barn Quilt Trail\, the work honors Ohio’s yard art traditions. Like other local expressions\, from chainsaw-carved bears to the front porch goose\, it fosters a shared sense of pride of place\, and community.\nArtist Statements/Bios\nAmelia BurnsThrough my travels across nearly every U.S. state\, I document not only the natural world but also its entanglement with human influence. My work speaks to the loneliness\, humor\, beauty\, pain\, and joy that coexist within these spaces. The landscapes I create—whether photographic or collage-based—are imbued with a visceral connection to the physical environments I’ve passed through. They are a reprocessing of the cultural detritus that surrounds me\, transforming fragments into vignettes that explore both the darkness and resilience of humanity.\nAt its core\, my work explores the underworld of human experience\, grappling with the visceral tension between authenticity and artifice in contemporary Americana. It reflects the disgusting horror of capitalism\, the mysticism of my Irish Catholic upbringing\, and the profound solitude that fuels my process. The resulting images are landscapes of seeking\, filled with the pain\, glory\, and quiet resistance of life.\nAmelia Burns is a photographer\, collage artist\, curator and educator exploring the cultural and physical landscapes of the U.S.\, capturing the nuances of shared environments. She earned her BFA in Photography from Pratt Institute in 2005 and later completed her MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2023. Website / Instagram\nErin McKenna Erin McKenna is an interdisciplinary artist with a background in sculpture. Her practice embraces humor\, playful misuse\, and celebration as strategies to dismantle stereotypes and complicate binaries of construction and embellishment. With a feminist lens\, she explores the space where necessity meets excess\, highlighting the subversive potential of both. Her sculptures often pair gritty building materials with tactile fabrics\, generating tension between utility and ornament. Growing up in a perpetually unfinished home—a place of sawdust\, chop saws\, and improvisation—instilled in her a respect for visible labor\, inventive problem-solving\, and imperfection. Her process follows personal rules:\nno hierarchy of materialssubvert expected usecomplicate binaries\, stereotypes and associationsmisuse\, misapplyallow for variable arrangementsrepeat\, reiterate\, reuseconsider the subversive possibilities of the excessive\, fantastic\, and necessaryalways let the labor be visible\nMcKenna earned her BFA from Columbus College of Art &amp\; Design in 2012 and later completed her MFA at Stamps School of Art &amp\; Design at the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Dominance Analysis of Developmental Assets: Pathways Linking Discrimination and Depression Among Young Black Sexual Minority Males
DESCRIPTION:Description\nSuicidal behaviors among young Black sexual minority males aged 14 to 17 represent a critical but understudied public health concern. National data show that 18.4% of gay men and 22.2% of bisexual men aged 18 to 25 have experienced suicidal ideation\, compared to 6.7% of heterosexual men.  Young BSMM often face limited supportive resources\, contributing to isolation and heightened risk. This study will employ dominance analysis to identify developmental assets most strongly associated with mental health outcomes. Variables with an R² contribution greater than 5% will be combined into an “asset mediator” to examine the pathway between discrimination and depression. By focusing on key protective assets such as family support\, positive identity\, and positive values\, this research will clarify their relative importance and mechanisms of influence\, offering insight into strategies that can mitigate suicidal behaviors in this vulnerable population.\n\nLearning Objective:\n\nEngage in Research-Informed Practice and Practice-Informed Research (Competency 4): Apply findings from dominance analysis to inform asset-based\, culturally responsive interventions that strengthen family support\, positive identity\, and positive values for BSMM youth.\nPresenter\nDr. Donte T. Boyd is an Associate Professor at The Ohio State University College of Social Work. He also serves as a Visiting Research Faculty member as part of the Research Education Institute for Diverse Scholars (REIDS) at Yale University School of Public Health through the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS (CIRA). Dr. Boyd’s research addresses how socio-contextual factors impact young Black MSM decision-making behaviors. He is particularly interested in examining how the role of the family (e.g.\, parent/sibling support\, communication\, and socialization) and other important persons in young Black MSM lives impact HIV prevention behavior (e.g.\, HIV testing\, PrEP Use) and other health and mental health outcomes. Donte’s research also focuses on the impact of school context among Black male adolescents in shaping their sexual health behaviors. Before joining the faculty\, Dr. Boyd received his Ph.D. from UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs. He also has worked extensively as a social worker in different capacities in AIDs Serving Organizations (ASOs). Dr. Boyd worked as Ryan White Case Manager working with HIV-positive individuals and as a Public Health Representative before deciding to further his educational pursuits.\n\nAs well\, Dr. Boyd is a Curtis Center Faculty Affiliate and co-leads the Health & Mental Health Interventions for Black Youth research initiative at the Curtis Center that supports efforts to amplify the voices of Black youth in the Midwest by exploring how mental health\, healing practices\, and community support influence suicide prevention and wellbeing.\n\nAgenda\n1:00 - 1:15pm | Speaker's Introduction & Context\n\n1:15 - 1:30pm | Dominance Analysis and Protective Assets\n\n1:30 - 1:45pm | Discrimination\, Depression\, and the Asset Mediator\n\n1:45 - 2:00pm | Future Directions & Conclusion\n\nCE Approval Statement\nThe University of Michigan School of Social Work\, provider #1212\, is approved to offer social work continuing education by the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) Approved Continuing Education (ACE) program. Organizations\, not individual courses\, are approved as ACE providers.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ChE SEMINAR: Brian Pfleger\, University of Wisconsin-Madison
DESCRIPTION:A reception with light refreshments will be held in the B10 lobby before each seminar from 1-1:30 p.m.\n\nFinding a sustainable alternative for today’s petrochemical industry is a major challenge facing chemical engineers and society at large. To be sustainable\, routes for converting carbon dioxide and light into organic compounds for use as both fuels and chemical building blocks must be identified\, understood\, and engineered. Advances in metabolic engineering\, synthetic biology\, and other bioengineering disciplines have expanded the scope of what can be produced in a living organism. As in other engineering disciplines\, synthetic biologists want to apply a general understanding of\nscience (e.g. microbiology\, biochemistry) to construct complex systems from well-characterized parts (e.g. DNA\, protein). Once novel synthetic biological systems (e.g. enzymes for biofuel synthesis) are constructed\, they must be engineered to function inside evolving cells without negatively impacting the host’s physiology.\n\nIn this talk\, I will describe pathways for producing chemicals derived from fatty-acids and how my group and others have improved oleochemical production in microbes. The talk will describe the critical regulatory points in native fatty acid metabolism\, strategies for deregulating flux\, and alternatives that by-pass it altogether. I will highlight the use of heterologous plant enzymes to alter the chain length distribution of products from common long-chain molecules to higher-value medium-chain analogs. I will also highlight strategies that we have used to produce medium-chain\nfatty alcohols\, the highest value compounds in the class\, through engineering of thioesterase and thiolase driven pathways. I will conclude with commentary on the remaining barriers to commercializing these technologies and areas where further research investment could prove\nfruitful.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:McKesson Foundation Health Equity Speaker Series: Utibe R. Essien\, MD\, MPH
DESCRIPTION:McKesson Foundation Health Equity Speaker Series: Utibe R. Essien\, MD\, MPH\nDate: Thursday November 13\, 2025\nTime: 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm\nLocation: Palmer Commons\, Great Lakes Room\, 100 Washtenaw Ave\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109\nTitle: Pursuing Pharmacoequity: A Prescription for Health\n\nThis event is free of cost. Refreshments will be provided. RSVP is requested to aid in an accurate headcount for catering. Please help us be good stewards of University resources and update your response if plans change.\n\nCoined by Utibe R. Essien\, MD\, MPH\, pharmacoequity is defined as “ensuring all individuals\, regardless of race and ethnicity\, socioeconomic status\, or availability of resources\, have access to the highest-quality medications required to manage their health needs.”. The goal of this talk is to explain the concept of pharmacoequity and how individuals can apply this knowledge to their practice and communities.\n\nSpeaker\nUtibe R. Essien\, MD\, MPH\nAssistant Professor of Medicine\, David Geffen School of Medicine\, University of California Los Angeles\; Associate Vice Chair\, Community Engagement and Inclusive Excellence\, Department of Medicine\n\nBiography\nUtibe R. Essien\, MD\, MPH\, FACP is a board-certified\, internal medicine physician\, an Assistant Professor of Medicine and health equity researcher at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. A proud New Yorker\, Dr. Essien received his MD from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx\, NY before training in internal medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Harvard Medical School. After residency he remained at MGH to complete a General Internal Medicine fellowship and receive an MPH degree from the Harvard School of Public Health.\n\nDr. Essien’s research focuses on disparities in the use of novel medications and technologies\, particularly in the management of cardiovascular diseases. In 2021\, he coined the term “pharmacoequity\,” providing a new framework to achieving equitable access to care. He is an emerging leader in the field\, as recognized by over 120 peer-reviewed publications and research grants from the Department of Veterans Affairs and the American Heart Association. His research has earned him numerous national awards including a 2023 Young Physician Scientist Award from the American Society for Clinical Investigation (ASCI)\, the 2024 Society of General Internal Medicine (SGIM) Outstanding Junior Investigator of the Year Award\, and selection as an Emerging Leader in Health and Medicine by the National Academy of Medicine (NAM).\n\nMcKesson Foundation Health Equity Speaker Series\n\nDisparities in health and healthcare have been are prevalent\, particularly in underserved or minority communities\, as a result of a variety of factors such as birthplace\, housing\, education\, race\, age\, sexual identity and other nonmedical factors. These factors are commonly referred to as the social determinants of health (SDOH). As a result of SDOH\, quality healthcare and treatment can be difficult to access for many who don’t fall into the dominant group and must confront barriers to receive treatment.\n\nExamples of barriers to adequate healthcare treatment include poverty\, lack of access to quality education or positive social activities\, and unhealthy environmental factors. These factors must be addressed in order to achieve positive health outcomes and equity in access to healthcare and treatment for all. To help illuminate and educate around issues involving social determinants of health\, the College of Pharmacy and the McKesson Foundation have teamed up to launch the McKesson Foundation Health Equity Speaker Series.\n\nFor the past two years the College of Pharmacy at the University of Michigan in partnership with the McKesson Foundation has hosted a speaker series based on the topic of health equity. The McKesson Foundation is dedicated to advancing health outcomes for all with the mission to removing barriers to quality healthcare across the country\, especially for vulnerable and underserved communities. The College of Pharmacy also has a longstanding history of fighting to address addressing disparities in healthcare and is a leader in the fight for equitable healthcare for all individuals. This alignment in values and mission of both organizations led to the provision awarding of a grant to resulted in the College of Pharmacy being awarded a grant in 2022 to launch what we now call the McKesson Foundation Health Equity Speaker Series\, with the goal of educating the UM community and inspiring those around us to find solutions that address inequities in healthcare and beyond.\n\nAbout our Funder\, the McKesson Foundation\nThe McKesson Foundation is a charitable organization dedicated to improving health outcomes for vulnerable and underserved populations. It focuses on initiatives that address healthcare disparities\, promote patient-centered care\, and support cancer care and survivorship. Through grants\, partnerships\, and employee-driven giving programs\, the foundation aims to foster innovative solutions that enhance community health and well-being.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:When the Air We Breathe Ages Our Arteries: Mechanisms of Vascular Injury from Fire Smoke Inhalation\nAbstract:\nCardiovascular aging reflects the gradual loss of vascular compliance and serves as a powerful indicator of overall cardiovascular health. Hallmarks of this process include inflammation\, oxidative stress\, endothelial dysfunction\, and aortic stiffening\, all of which compromise the ability of large arteries to regulate blood flow and pressure\, increasing susceptibility to disease. Our research program seeks to uncover the molecular mechanisms that drive these functional shifts and to determine how environmental stressors accelerate vascular aging. In this seminar\, I will first highlight recent findings from our work mapping the trajectory of aortic aging in mice. Using single-cell transcriptomics and mechanical testing\, we identified immune cell accumulation\, extracellular matrix remodeling\, and altered Piezo-1 signaling as key processes that increase aortic stiffness with age. I will then discuss how chronic exposure to wildfire smoke\, an increasingly common environmental hazard\, can recapitulate age-associated vascular maladaptation. Through a mouse model scaled to the exposure of wildland firefighters\, we demonstrated that repeated inhalation of Douglas Fir smoke induces inflammation\, oxidative and nitrosative stress\, endothelial dysfunction\, and fibrotic remodeling of the aortic wall\, leading to vascular stiffening and elevated blood pressure. Collectively\, these studies frame vascular aging as a unifying lens through which to understand the cardiovascular consequences of environmental exposures and highlight pathways that may guide future prevention and intervention strategies.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IES Energy Seminar Series -  Democratizing Access to Power Grid Data and Models
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Power grid operations have been profoundly influenced by innovations in data analytics\, optimization\, and control — all thriving on the availability of power grid data and models. However\, as power grids contain much proprietary data and increasingly become targets of cyberattacks\, releasing information from power systems now requires carefully balancing grid transparency\, data owner privacy\, and security objectives. The last two are often prioritized by conservative grid operators at the expense of the former. How can we systematically balance grid transparency with the privacy and cyber resilience of power systems?\n\nIn this talk\, I will provide algorithmic answers to this question that quantify and control information disclosures from power systems while ensuring that the source system and its actors are not exposed to cyber and privacy risks. They are based on the fusion of power grid engineering\, operations research\, differential privacy\, and diffusion models\, various combinations of which enable controllable data disclosures in various contexts. Our solutions aim to set new standards for trustworthy data sharing in the power systems industry\, enabling frequent and targeted data sharing\, creating new opportunities for third-party analytics\, and enabling public oversight of grid and market operations.\n\nBio: Vladimir Dvorkin is an Assistant Professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the University of Michigan. He has held positions as a postdoctoral fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Energy Initiative and LIDS from 2021–2023\, and as a visiting researcher at Georgia Tech’s School of Industrial and Systems Engineering.

DESCRIPTION:\"A Tale of Stellar and Planetary Adolescence and Evolution\"\n\nWithin the past decade\, we have discovered only a dozen young (< 300 Myr) short-period exoplanets\, compared to the ~6\,000 mature systems. The radii of these young planets are larger than older planets on similar orbital periods. The leading hypothesis is that these young planets have inflated atmospheres because they are still contracting. Inflated atmospheres are more susceptible to photoevaporation --- atmospheric removal driven by X-ray and ultraviolet (XUV) stellar irradiation. These effects are intensified in the earliest stages of planetary evolution\, when young stars are more active and produce extreme XUV radiation on a variety of timescales. Even though it is challenging to study exoplanets around active stars\, observational constraints of these targets provide crucial insights into our understanding of exoplanet formation and evolution. In this talk\, I will present several benchmark studies of young stars and their planets spanning from the ultraviolet to the infrared. I will present early results of atmospheric follow-up characterization of young short-period exoplanets from my JWST KRONOS program and an overview of our search for atmospheric escape. Finally\, I will highlight the role that stellar flares may play in shaping the evolution of these planets and future steps in understanding these challenging young systems.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Differential Equations Seminar: From instability to singularity formation in incompressible fluids
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will first review the singularity formation problem in incompressible fluid dynamics\, describing how particle transport poses the main challenge in constructing blow-up solutions for the incompressible 3d Euler equations. I will then outline a new mechanism that allows us to overcome the effects of particle transport\, leveraging the instability seen in the classical Taylor--Couette experiment. Using this mechanism\, we construct the first swirl-driven singularity for the incompressible Euler equations in R^3. This is joint work with Tarek Elgindi (Duke University).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Synthesizing plant community responses to global change
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Summary - Many global change factors\, such as nitrogen deposition\, herbivore losses\, and species invasions\, are occurring simultaneously worldwide. Ecologists have been tasked with forecasting community and ecosystem responses to these multiple concurrent drivers. My research focuses on plant community responses to multiple global change drivers\, and whether these community shifts drive changes in ecosystem function. I will discuss the results of data synthesis efforts examining global patterns of plant community responses to altered resources and their consequences for primary productivity. The Community Responses to Resource Experiments (CoRRE) database includes 138 experiments from 70 locations globally and 2875 individual plant species with categorical and continuous traits. Through synthesis\, we demonstrate that grassland communities are dynamically changing in their taxonomic\, functional\, and phylogenetic diversity in response to a wide variety of global change drivers\, and that these changes have consequences for ecosystem function.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Professors Miranda Brown\, August E. (Gus) Evrard and Linda Tesar\, Collegiate Professorship Inaugural Lecture
DESCRIPTION:This event will take place both in person and virtually.\n\nProfessor Miranda D. Brown\, the Yi-tsi Mei Feuerwerker Collegiate Professor of Chinese Studies\n\nLecture Title: A Moveable Feast: The Story of the Han-Manchu Banquet and the Forgotten History of Chop Suey\n\nLecture Abstract: Chop suey\, a vintage Chinese-American food\, has a dubious reputation. Some say it was invented from kitchen scraps in a California mining kitchen during the Gold Rush. Others claim it was an American invention—journalist Jennifer 8. Lee calls it \"the greatest hoax played by one culture on another.\"\n\nBut what if I told you that chop suey was once a popular banquet food in China—and that it was enjoyed not only by ruling elites\, but by the emperor himself? Far from being leftovers or cultural deception\, chop suey graced imperial tables and wealthy merchant feasts for centuries before crossing the Pacific.\n\nThis talk explores the gourmet Chinese roots of chop suey through old banquet menus and imperial records\, tracing its surprising journey from Qing dynasty haute cuisine to American convenience food. In recovering this forgotten history\, it offers a new view of how Chinese American cuisine actually emerged—and reveals how crucial the study of foreign languages is for telling the American story.\n\nProfessor August E. (Gus) Evrard\, the Arthur W. and Alice R. Burks Collegiate Professor of Physics\n\nLecture Title: A 20-Watt Thinking Machine with Legs Ponders Truth \n\nLecture Abstract: Some truths are universal\, but not all.  In this quick talk\, I'll visit past experiences with truth on the sky and truth on campus before turning to a question for the age of intelligence: how will our AI-infused world handle the truth? \n\nProfessor Linda Tesar\, the Alan V. Deardorff Collegiate Professor of Economics\n\nLecture Title: Deglobalization:  What’s at Stake?\n\nLecture Abstract: Globalization helped fuel rapid economic growth and raised incomes in many of the world’s poorest countries. At the same time\, widening income inequality within countries\, increased financial market volatility and the decline of manufacturing in the wealthiest of countries has produced a backlash to globalization. What will be the consequences if the world economy becomes less integrated?\n\nIf you are unable to join us in person\, please click the link below to join the webinar.\n\nJoin from PC\, Mac\, iPad\, or Android:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/93973802185\n\nPhone one-tap:\n+16469313860\,\,93973802185# US\n+13017158592\,\,93973802185# US (Washington DC)\n\nJoin via audio:\n+1 646 931 3860 US\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 305 224 1968 US\n+1 309 205 3325 US\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 876 9923 US (New York)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 360 209 5623 US\n+1 386 347 5053 US\n+1 507 473 4847 US\n+1 564 217 2000 US\n+1 669 444 9171 US\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 689 278 1000 US\n+1 719 359 4580 US\n+1 253 205 0468 US\n+1 647 374 4685 Canada\n+1 647 558 0588 Canada\n+1 778 907 2071 Canada\n+1 780 666 0144 Canada\n+1 204 272 7920 Canada\n+1 438 809 7799 Canada\n+1 587 328 1099 Canada\nWebinar ID: 939 7380 2185\nInternational numbers available: https://umich.zoom.us/u/ayXtq0qRB

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Rational Design of High-Performance Electrocatalysts for Future Energy and Material Applications
DESCRIPTION:Electrocatalysis is poised to play a pivotal role in future energy material and chemical manufacturing. The rational design of next-generation electrocatalysts - guided by sound scientific hypothesis - is essential for advancing practical technologies. In recent years\, my team at Argonne has actively explored high-performance electrocatalysts using innovative design and synthesis strategies. In this presentation\, I will first discuss our recent advances in utilizing metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as tunable precursors for oxygen redox electrocatalysis. This includes the development of platinum-group-metal-free (PGM-free) and ultralow-platinum catalysts for proton exchange membrane fuel cells [1]\, as well as PGM-free catalysts as viable replacements for iridium for water electrolysis [2]. I will then introduce our recent studies on the selective electrochemical reduction of CO₂ to multi-carbon (C₂⁺) products\, where the reaction pathways and product distributions are profoundly modulated by active-site geometry\, atomic coordination\, and nanoconfinement effects [3–5].\nThe presentation outlines our integrated approach that combines advanced structural and spectroscopic characterization\, computational modeling\, and machine-learning-guided discovery to uncover catalytic mechanisms and guide materials optimization. Finally\, I will discuss the implications of these findings for the scalable design of next-generation electrocatalysts in future energy conversion and storage applications.\n[1] “Ultralow-loading platinum-cobalt fuel cell catalysts derived from imidazolate frameworks” L.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:FAST Lecture | Archive Archaeology at Karanis: Recontextualizing the Michigan Documentation
DESCRIPTION:Although far from modern standards\, the University of Michigan excavations at Karanis (1924–1935) employed advanced recording techniques for their time. Documenting the site’s evolution through a system of “levels\,” the excavators left behind a dense archival record of photographs\, tables\, notes\, drawings\, plans\, artifact inventories\, and survey results. Housed at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology\, this documentation has been consulted for a century but never systematically analyzed or disseminated. The most authoritative source remains an unfinished manuscript by Enoch Peterson (a professor at Michigan from 1924 to 1962)\, never published or made publicly available.\n\nToday\, a revival of interest in Karanis has created a demand for better curation and accessibility of these records. In response\, researchers at the Kelsey Museum are leading a digital initiative with two objectives. First\, drawing upon legacy survey data and new radiocarbon results\, we are using the game engine Unity to reconstruct and reinterpret the site’s chronological evolution in three dimensions. Second\, we are transforming Peterson’s manuscript and related materials into an interactive\, open-access resource. These collaborative efforts between Kelsey researchers\, staff\, graduate\, and undergraduate students go beyond digitization\, requiring the restructuring and reassessment of excavation data within an updated framework. \n\nAs we integrate new insights and methodologies\, our work sometimes calls the Michigan excavators’ original interpretations into question. This raises the need to balance faithful preservation of archival materials with that of reassessing the excavation results through contemporary archaeological lenses. This lecture explores the challenges and possibilities of conducting “archive archaeology” at Karanis\, creating new tools for exploring\, cross-referencing\, and reinterpreting this essential legacy dataset.\n\nTyler Johnson is a postdoctoral fellow with the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. He completed his PhD at the University of Michigan in 2023\, focusing on the transformation of domestic buildings during Late Antiquity in the region around Rome. He has conducted fieldwork at Gabii\, Italy\, since 2013\, where he now serves as director of topography and digital data. Tyler has also participated in a range of excavations and digital humanities projects in Italy\, Albania\, and the United States. His specializations include 3D modeling\, database curation\, and the use of game engines and graphical interfaces in archaeological and cultural heritage research. At the Kelsey\, Tyler is a member of the AGROS project\, an international collaboration investigating ancient diet through the analysis of organic materials from Karanis\, Egypt\, where the University of Michigan carried out excavations in the 1920s and 1930s. His work focuses on the archaeological contextualization of organic samples selected for chemical analysis\, integrating the complex records of this legacy dataset with new methods in 3D modeling and data visualization.\n\nFAST (Field Archaeology Series on Thursday) Lectures are free and open to the public. This event will take place in Room 125 of the Kelsey Museum’s Newberry Hall. Light refreshments and food will be provided at 5:30 PM\, with the lecture starting at 6:00 PM.\n\nIf you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event\, please visit our accessibility page at https://myumi.ch/zwPkd or contact the education office by calling (734) 647-4167.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Narsiso Martinez
DESCRIPTION:Narsiso Martinez is a visual artist whose drawings\, paintings\, and mixed-media installations center the lives and labor of farmworkers in the United States. Martinez worked in the agricultural fields of Washington state—a formative experience that would later shape the core of his artistic practice. After completing his education in Los Angeles\, culminating in an MFA in Drawing and Painting from California State University Long Beach\, Martinez developed a body of work that reflects the dignity\, hardship\, and invisibility of the workers who harvest America’s food.\nMartinez is best known for his powerful portraits rendered on discarded produce boxes collected from grocery stores\, which he transforms into evocative\, layered compositions. His work draws from the visual language of 1930s Social Realism\, updated through a contemporary lens and materials that speak to both economic precarity and cultural resilience. By incorporating found objects and working at the intersection of figuration\, installation\, and sculpture\, Martinez calls attention to the dissonance between agricultural abundance and the exploitation of those who make it possible. His art challenges viewers to consider the systems behind the food they consume\, and the people whose labor sustains them—many of whom remain undocumented and unprotected.\nIn this talk\, Martinez will share the personal history that informs his practice\, from his journey as a farmworker to his development as an artist. He will discuss the evolution of his use of unconventional materials\, the political and emotional layers embedded in his subject matter\, and the importance of bearing witness through art. Whether painting directly onto cardboard or building immersive installations\, Martinez’s work offers a poignant meditation on labor\, identity\, and the complicated narratives embedded in the American agricultural landscape.\nPresented in partnership with the Institute for the Humanities.\nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:CHOP | China Ongoing Perspectives Film Series
DESCRIPTION:When a massive Chinese industrial park lands in rural Ethiopia\, a dusty farming town finds itself at the new frontier of globalization. The sprawling factory complex’s formidable Chinese director Motto now needs every bit of mettle and charm she can muster to push through a high-stakes expansion that promises 30\,000 new jobs. Ethiopian farmer Workinesh and factory worker Beti have staked their futures on the prosperity the park promises. But as initial hope meets painful realities\, they find themselves\, like their country\, at a pivotal crossroads.\n   \n   Filmed over four years with singular access\, Made in Ethiopia lifts the curtain on China’s historic but misunderstood impact on Africa\, and explores contemporary Ethiopia at a moment of profound crisis. The film throws audiences into two colliding worlds: an industrial juggernaut fueled by profit and progress\, and a vanishing countryside where life is still measured by the cycle of the seasons. Its nuance\, complexity and multi-perspective approach go beyond black-and-white narratives of victims and villains. As the three women’s stories unfold\, Made in Ethiopia challenges us to rethink the relationship between tradition and modernity\, growth and welfare\, the development of a country and the well being of its people.\n\nLight refreshments will be provided. Q&A following the film with Director Xinyan Yu (via Zoom) and Professor Kelly Askew (in person)\, U-M Professor of Anthropology and Afroamerican & African Studies.\n\nMade in Ethiopia (2024 ‧ Documentary ‧ 1h 31m) Directors: Max Duncan\, Xinyan Yu\nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUBm1FZ_ro4

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Book Reading re: Chandler Davis
DESCRIPTION:Editors John Cheney-Lippold\, Gary D. Krenz\, and Melanie S. Tanielian join contributor Ellen Schrecker in a conversation about the new book \"In the Spirit of H. Chandler Davis: Activism and the Struggle for Academic Freedom.\"\n\nThe essays collected in this book honor H. Chandler Davis (1926-2022)\, a University of Michigan faculty member who became a symbol of principled dissent when suspended and fired in 1954 for refusing to testify about his political affiliations to the House Un-American Activities Committee. Invoking academic freedom and First Amendment protection\, Davis was convicted of contempt of Congress. He served six months in prison before moving to Canada\, where he established himself as a brilliant mathematician\, prolific writer\, and ardent and much beloved advocate for justice.\n\nAt a time when a new McCarthyism has come roaring back to threaten free inquiry everywhere\, the 12 contributors to this book argue against censorship\, the suppression of protest\, the policed and surveilled campus\, the self-silencing of “institutional neutrality\,” and other enemies of academic freedom. Also included in this volume is posthumously published work by Davis and by his late wife\, the historian Natalie Zemon Davis\, which reflects on the importance of facing\, and not accepting\, authoritarian threats.\n\nInspired by Chandler Davis’ courage\, integrity\, and devotion to the struggle against oppression\, injustice\, and the persecution of speech\, these essays offer crucial insights into the importance of defending intellectual independence\, institutional autonomy\, and the right to free expression.

SUMMARY:Performance:\"What Remains\" - Dance BFA Concert
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Dance at the University of Michigan School of Music\, Theatre & Dance presents *What Remains*\, with choreography by senior Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance majors Alexandra Baron\, Audrey DeGuia\, Alyssa Hernandez\, Megan Piagentini\, Olivia Weber\, and Kaitlyn Wilson. Tickets are free\, available at the door starting at 6:30 pm.\n \n*The Weight of Absence*\, a group work by Megan Piagentini\, progresses through two distinct phases. The first situates viewers in a dystopian landscape where faceless\, grieving bodies loop through numbing routines\, grasping for connection that leaves them unsatisfied. The second part shifts to a more elemental\, raw portrayal of humanity. The choreography allows for genuine connections and emotional vulnerability through love\, grief\, and anger. At its core\, the piece is a reminder of shared anatomy and mutual longing to love and be loved.\n\n*when the snow melts*\, a group work by Alyssa Hernandez in collaboration with dancers\, explores themes of human nature\, survival\, and vulnerability. Inspired by time in Vancouver\, BC\, Hernandez reflects on the periodic wildfires throughout the Canadian Rockies\, where wildflowers bloom amid devastation. The resilience in nature becomes a metaphor for human behavior\, relationships\, and the consequences of our actions\, forming a thought-provoking exploration for dancers and audiences alike.\n\n*Superposition*\, a group dance by Audrey DeGuia\, explores the intersection of science and spirituality through time\, space\, and the universe. Inspired by quantum theory and Carl Sagan’s idea that “We are the universe experiencing itself\,” the choreography reflects on infinite possibility and interconnectedness. Through stylized movement and interpersonal partner work\, the dancers embody the idea that the body is not just moving through space\, but is space itself- unfolding and transforming as the dancers move.\n\n*GREEN HOUSE*\, a group work created by Kaitlyn Wilson (in collaboration with dancers)\, highlights the degradation of human relationship to the environment\, leading to the environmental catastrophe we live in today. Interaction between bodies\, as well as to the space\, investigates how our relationship to nature can be restored to ensure a sustainable and connected future. The performance experience\, set to sound design by Luka Pierson\, highlights the need to rebuild not only connections to the natural environment but also rebuild community.\n\n*After Midnight*\, a contemporary group dance by Alexandra Baron\, delves into the imaginative space that emerges in the stillness of night\, where the curiosity of memory\, the awakening of imagination\, and reality collide. Drawing inspiration from the quiet creativity of late hours\, the work weaves together surreal imagery\, fluid movement\, and striking ensemble dynamics. Baron’s choreography explores remembered moments that resurface within the shadows\, blurring lines between reality and reflection.\n\n*Reflection Reclaimed*\, a group work by Olivia Weber\, explores the complex relationship dancers have with body image\, shaped by years of consistently training in front of the mirror - a tool meant for refinement\, but often used for negative self-judgement. The choreography traces the emotional journey from comparison\, insecurity\, and self-worth to acceptance and empowerment. This dance communicates and reflects on the silent battle dancers face to meet unrealistic standards both inside the dance world and in society.

SUMMARY:Performance:Gil Shaham\, violin and Akira Eguchi\, piano
DESCRIPTION:\"In a world full of outstanding violinists\, [Gil] Shaham is one of the few identifiable by sound and style alone.” (The Boston Globe)\n\nGil Shaham is one of the foremost violinists of our time\; his flawless technique\, combined with his inimitable warmth and generosity of spirit\, has solidified his renown as an American master. In 2016\, Shaham performed an evening of solo violin works by J.S. Bach\, filling Hill Auditorium with his magical and luminescent sound. For this return appearance a decade later\, he brings an all-Beethoven program\, part of his year-long exploration of all 10 of Beethoven’s sonatas for piano and violin with his longtime recital partner Akira Eguchi.\n\n“Shaham’s tone is clear and sweet\, and he plays with quiet but unmistakable ardor. There is a seamless flow to his performance\, a sense of propulsion fueled by both thoughtful concentration and a willingness to let the music take flight.” (The Chicago Sun-Times)

SUMMARY:Performance:Sam Grisman Project
DESCRIPTION:“They don’t just play this music. They live it. And they make you feel like you’re part of it too.” — No Depression\n\nSam Grisman is a bass player\, music appreciator\, and bandleader who grew up in Mill Valley\, California in a home where some of the great acoustic music of our time was being recorded on a regular basis. His father\, legendary mandolinist\, composer\, and producer\, David Grisman\, was constantly having friends come over to his home studio for recording sessions and rehearsals. These friends\, such as Doc Watson\, Jerry Garcia\, John Hartford\, Mike Seeger\, and Tony Rice all left an impression on the younger Grisman and inspired him to pursue a life making music with his many talented friends.\n\nSam Grisman Project was created to shed light on the music that Sam grew up around\, and highlight that music’s influence on the members of the collective and in the greater music community. The friends who make up Sam Grisman Project are a rotating cadre of acousticians who are some of the brightest individual voices on their respective instruments. Members of this rotating cast of instrumental wizards include guitarists Max Flansburg\, Logan Ledger\, Sam Leslie\, Henry Moser\, Jesse Harper\, and Jefferson Hamer\, mandolinists Dominick Leslie\, Joe K. Walsh\, Matt Flinner\, and Jesse Appelman\, clawhammer banjo maestro Victor Furtado\, fiddlers John Mailander\, Alex Hargreaves\, Nate Leath\, Shad Cobb\, and Phoebe Hunt\, cellist Nat Smith\, and Todd Livingston on the Dobro.\n\nSam Grisman Project is committed to putting their love\, gratitude\, and individuality into the music that they share on stage each night\, and to participating in the community effort of preserving\, expanding\, and appreciating great American acoustic music.
