SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
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:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Stamping and Stomping: community inspired relief prints
DESCRIPTION:Currently based in Ann Arbor\, Paloma Núñez-Regueiro is a Mexican printmaker born in Lima\, Peru. Paloma attended art college in Mexico\, where she came face to face with printmaking during her first year at the Facultad de Artes Plásticas (College of Arts) in Xalapa\, Veracruz. She became fascinated with the possibilities that printmaking offers\, as well as its importance in popular resistance throughout history. In 1997\, she transferred to the Rochester Institute of Technology with an International Student Scholarship.\n-- \n\nAmongst the subjects that interest her are human migration\, social in-visibility\, and the intrinsic relation of humans to the universe as well as our dislocated relationship to it. She currently explores the vicissitudes of minorities and their stories in order to create a better understanding of their issues. By offering portraits of minorities and their stories\, Nunez-Regueiro’s goal is to create supportive communities for those who need to feel rooted in their geographical space and their present time. \n\nNúñez-Regueiro work is closely related to her experiences of living abroad — the impermanence\, the precarious construction of one's present and even less of one’s future. It is about the rootlessness of those of us who move from place to place. She is an incessantly positive artist and she profoundly believes in art as a tool to create the social change that can lead us to thoughtful actions\, and the bettering of ourselves and our communities.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tukilile Vaa
DESCRIPTION:Kaloki Nyamai is a multidisciplinary artist based in Nairobi. His practice explores Kenya's histories and collective memory\, blending Kamba traditions with contemporary narratives. Using acrylic paint\, rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, his free-hanging immersive works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation. For his U-M project\, Nyamai will present one large unstretched piece and two framed paintings at the Institute for the Humanities\, as well as a second free-hanging work at the U-M Museum of Art.\n\nThe physicality of his complex constructions inspire wonder in the viewer. The works are vast in scale\, embedded with stories\, where past and future merge both poetically and conceptually. In each composition\, the artist proposes a powerful alternative to the flatness of singular narratives of Kenyan history and identity presented as the definitive postcolonial account. He likens the formal act of stitching to symbolically unifying a wounded or fractured community.\n\nNyamai founded the Kamene Cultural & Research Center in Nairobi\, a creative and collaborative hub dedicated to the preservation\, promotion\, and innovation of African cultural practices.\n\nAbout the artist:\nKaloki Nyamai (*1985 in Kitui\, Kenya) is a multidisciplinary artist working with installation\, painting\, and sculpture based in Nairobi. From an early age\, his mother introduced him to painting and taught him to draw\, fostering an ever-lasting interest in art throughout his life. He often finds inspiration in his grandmother’s stories of the Kamba people\, a Bantu ethnic group of eastern Kenya. Using materials like acrylic paint\, sisal rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, Nyamai’s free-hanging pieces evoke the healing of historical wounds and a collective yearning for renewal. His works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation\, creating cohesive\, immersive experiences where past\, present\, and future converge poetically.\n\nNyamai studied Interior Design at the Buruburu Institute Of Fine Arts (BIFA) and then pursued painting after working in other creative fields. His large-scale paintings and mixed-media installations intricately explore historical narratives\, examining their resonance in the present. Nyamai has shown his work across the globe in solo exhibitions at the Norval Foundation\, Cape Town (2024)\; James Cohan Gallery\, New York (2024)\; Galerie Barbara Thumm\, Berlin (2023 and 2022)\; SEPTIEME Gallery\, Paris (2019)\, and other venues. In 2023\, he featured part of his series Dining in Chaos in the “Unlimited” section at Art Basel in Basel. He has participated in group exhibitions and biennials\, most recently at the Sharjah Biennial 16\, Sharjah (2025)\; The Völklinger Hütte\, Völklingen (2024)\; the Kenyan Pavilion at the Venice Biennale\, Venice (2022)\; and the Dakar Biennale (2022). His works are part of numerous private and institutional collections around the world\, such as the Dallas Art Museum\, the Southern African Foundation for Contemporary Art\, and the Arthur Primas Museum.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Dissertation Defense Seminar: Suji Ye
DESCRIPTION:Plants rely on a two-tiered immune system\, consisting of pattern-triggered immunity (PTI initiated by cell-surface pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI) activated by intracellular NOD-like (NLR) immune receptors. These two types of immunity are essential for protecting plants from pathogen invasion balancing growth and defense to maintain immune homeostasis. \n\nCalcium (Ca2+) is a secondary messenger that plays an essential role in plant immunity by transmitting immune signals from PRR and NLR receptors to downstream immune response upon pathogen perception and regulating processes such as transcriptional reprogramming\, reactive oxygen species production\, and kinase activation. However\, imbalanced Ca2+ signaling can induce autoimmunity\, causing cell death in plants.\n \nWe are interested in how Ca2+ signaling is integrated into a regulatory network that maintains immune homeostasis. In this thesis\, I characterized three closely related cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels (CNGCs) acting as Ca2+ channels to suppress plant autoimmunity and regulate reproductive development. In Arabidopsis thaliana\, 20 CNGCs are classified into five groups (I\, II\, III\, IVa\, and IVb) based on sequence homology. Structurally\, Arabidopsis CNGCs contain six transmembrane domains\, a P-loop domain for ion selection\, a cyclic nucleotide-binding domain (CNBD)\, and a calmodulin-binding domain (CaMBD) for channel activity regulation. Our lab previously demonstrated that activation of CNGC19 and CNGC20\, upon phosphorylation by the receptor kinase BAK-to-life 2 (BTL2)\, induces massive intracellular Ca2+ influx\, leading to autoimmunity\, due to perturbation of the shared PRR-coreceptors BAK1/SERK4. In addition\, the chimeric CNGC11 and CNGC12\, which likely form an active calcium channel\, also cause autoimmunity. I systematically characterized CNGC11\, CNGC12\, and their closest homolog CNGC3 by generating single\, double\, and triple mutants with CRISPR-Cas gene editing. Importantly\, neither CNGC3\, 11\, nor 12 single or double mutants altered plant growth and immune responses. However\, the cngc3/11/12 triple mutants exhibited growth defects with varying levels of cell death. In addition\, the cngc3 single mutants showed infertility\, with shorter siliques and fewer seeds\, despite normal stamen and pistil structures. Using an Agrobacterium-mediated VIGS (virus-induced gene silencing) approach\, I show that the EDS1(ENHANCED DISEASE SUSCEPTIBILITY 1)-PAD4 (PHYTOALEXIN DEFICIENT 4)-ADR1s (ACTIVATED DISEASE RESISTANCE 1) module\, which plays a central role in toll/interleukin-1 receptor NLR (TNL)-mediated immunity\, is essential for the RNAi-CNGC3/11/12-induced cell death. RNA-sequencing analysis further suggests the involvement of additional Ca2+ channels\, pumps\, and TIR-domain-containing proteins in cngc3/11/12 cell death.  These results suggest that the depletion of CNGC3\, 11\, and 12 activates additional Ca2+ channels\, which further activate the TIR-EDS1-PAD4-ADR1s module to induce cell death. \n\nCeramides are a class of sphingolipids known to induce programmed cell death in plants and animals with unclear mechanisms. Mutation of ceramide kinase ACD5\, which results in the accumulation of high levels of ceramides\, induces spontaneous cell death in plants. Using VIGS\, I found that RNAi-ACD5-induced cell death depends on the NLR SUMM2 and other components of the SUMM2 signaling pathway. In addition\, ceramide levels are elevated in autoimmune mutants when SUMM2 is activated. Furthermore\, ceramides activate the phosphatase activity of Protein Phosphatase 5 (PP5) and promote PP5 interaction with the co-chaperone protein HOP1\, which are essential for SUMM2 activation. Collectively\, our findings reveal a mechanism by which ceramides promote cell death in plants through activation of a phosphatase that subsequently activates NLR immune receptors.\n\nIn summary\, our studies underscore the importance of maintaining balanced Ca2+ signaling and ceramide levels for immune homeostasis in plants.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\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:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ChE SEMINAR: Kristen Fichthorn\, Penn State University
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\nSimple\, inorganic atoms can arrange themselves in myriad ways\, both ordinary and extraordinary\, that have become the foundation of nanotechnology.  Unlocking the mysteries of metal nanocrystal growth and assembly has been a pursuit in our research for the past decade.  In this talk\, I will discuss our efforts to develop the theoretical capability to capture the intricacies of nanocrystal growth and our application of these methods to describe experimental mysteries.  \n\nI will discuss the profound and synergistic role of halides and organic capping agents in promoting facet-selective nanocrystal growth and selective assembly.  We use first-principles density-functional theory calculations\, along with auxiliary methods\, to demonstrate how halides affect surface diffusion and facet-specific nanocrystal interactions in multiple systems\, ranging from the growth of Cu nanowires and plates to the assembly of Au nanocrystals to the formation of hierarchical Pt nanocrystals via facet-selective aggregation.  Early in the growth process\, nanocrystals in the 1-2 nm size range are fluxional and we have used enhanced sampling methods\, originally developed to study biomolecules\, together with machine learning to uncover their structures and shape transformations and to learn useful information for catalysis.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series | Why Place Matters: The “Publicness” of the Lost Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person in room 1010\, Weiser Hall\, and virtually on Zoom. The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at https://myumi.ch/P3Z9P.\n   \n   This lecture is based on Dr. Horikawa’s 41 years of intensive fieldwork\, chronicling a major movement that shaped preservation policy in Japan. It tries to provide a clear answer to the century-old question: why does place matter? Dr. Horikawa illustrates how the movement to preserve the Otaru Canal in Otaru\, Japan\, was neither conservative nor an obstacle\, demonstrating that preservation can allow for and even promote change.\n   \n   Saburo Horikawa is a professor of urban & environmental sociology at Hosei University in Tokyo\, and he received his Ph.D. from Keio University. He has won three major academic awards\, including one from the discipline of city planning\, for his book published by the University of Tokyo Press. The English edition of the book\, *Why Place Matters: A Sociological Study of the Historic Preservation Movement in Otaru\, Japan\, 1965–2017\,* was published by Springer and was reviewed in the *Journal of the American Planning Association.*\n   \n   Photo credit: The Rikisha in front of Old Mitsui Bank in Otaru\, Hokkaido\n   Copyright © 2015 by Saburo Horikawa.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering (BME 500) Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Non-invasive Histotripsy Cancer Treatment: The Road from Bench to Bedside\nAbstract:\nHistotripsy is the first non-invasive\, non-ionizing\, and non-thermal ablation technology that is based on ultrasound and invented by Dr. Xu and her colleagues at the University of Michigan. Imagine ultrasound delivered from outside the body is used to generate bubbles and destroy the target tumor\, without incision or injury. Pre-clinical studies have shown that ultrasound image-guided histotripsy can non-invasively and mechanically disrupt the target tumor into acellular debris while preserving large normal vessels\, nerves\, and bile ducts. Histotripsy tumor acellular debris is absorbed by the body\, resulting in tumor regression and increased survival benefit. Histotripsy induces significant innate and adaptive immune response and abscopal effect (shrinkage of off-target tumors) in murine tumor models. Multi-center clinical trials confirm that histotripsy produces tumor regression and provides evidence of abscopal effect in patients with primary and metastatic liver tumors. In October 2023\, the Edison histotripsy platform (HistoSonics) was approved by FDA for non-invasive treatment of liver tumors. The Edison system is based on the technology licensed from Dr. Xu’s lab and manufactured by HistoSonics\, a company co-founded by Dr. Xu. To Date\, histotripsy has been used to treat 3000 patients with liver tumors in 70+ hospitals. There are ongoing clinical trials in the U.S. and Europe on histotripsy treatment of renal tumors and pancreatic tumors. Dr. Xu will talk about the mechanism and instrumentation of histotripsy\, the latest pre-clinical and clinical progress\, and her journal to bring this technology from bench to bedside. \nBio:\nDr. Zhen Xu is the Li Ka Shing Endowed Professor of Biomedical Engineering\, and Professor of Radiology and Neurosurgery at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, MI. Her research focuses on ultrasound therapy and imaging. She is a pioneer and world leader of histotripsy. She has developed histotripsy for cancer\, neurological\, and cardiovascular applications. Her work has led to the FDA approval of histotripsy treatment of liver tumors. She has been elected as Fellow of National Academy of Inventors (NAI)\, American Institute of Medicine and Bioengineering (AIMBE)\, and IEEE. She received the IEEE Ultrasonics\, Ferroelectrics\, and Frequency Control (UFFC) Outstanding Paper Award in 2006\, Frederic Lizzi Award from the International Society of Therapeutic Ultrasound (ISTU) in 2015\, Lockhart Memorial Prize for Cancer Research in 2020\, and IEEE Carl Hellmuth Hertz Ultrasonics Award in 2024. She has published 140 peer-reviewed journal papers and has been awarded $50+ millions of external grant funding. She has 36 issued US and international patents. She is a principal investigator of grants funded by NIH\, Office of Navy Research\, American Cancer Association\, and Focused Ultrasound Foundation. She is the co-founder of HistoSonics. HistoSonics is valued at $3 billions through a recent private acquisition.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:January Water@Michigan Coffee Talk
DESCRIPTION:Talk Description: Pumped Hydro Energy Storage Potential in the Great Lakes \n\nAs Michigan advances toward a clean-energy future\, energy storage has become increasingly essential for ensuring the reliability and resilience of the state’s power system. The Great Lakes region\, with its extensive shoreline and favorable topography\, offers significant potential for pumped hydro energy storage (PHS). Beyond providing large-scale\, long-duration storage\, PHS also presents opportunities for energy integration with emerging offshore wind development in the lakes.\n\nAt the same time\, the history of the Ludington PHS facility has shown that large water-based infrastructure projects can raise important questions regarding the commercial use of Great Lakes water resources. As interest grows in exploring new PHS concepts in the region\, it is crucial to examine the environmental implications—particularly ecological and fishery impacts—and to consider how such projects intersect with public trust\, governance\, and social acceptance.\n\nThis panel brings together experts in engineering\, ecology\, and policy to discuss the technical feasibility\, environmental considerations\, and societal dimensions of pumped hydro development in the Great Lakes. The session aims to foster an informed\, multidisciplinary conversation about the future of water-energy systems in our region.\n\nAbout the Speakers: \nModerator: Marc Gaden\, Adjunct Assistant Professor\, SEAS and Executive Secretary\, Great Lakes Fishery Commission\n\nPanelists: Jon Allan\, Retired Sr. Advisor and Sr. Academic and Research Program Officer\, School for Environment and Sustainability\; Jeremy Bricker\, Associate Professor\, Civil and Environmental Engineering\; Tomas Höök\, Head/Professor Forestry & Natural Resources\, Purdue University\; Xin Shen\, PhD candidate\, Civil and Environmental Engineering\n\nYou can RSVP for the event here: https://graham.umich.edu/wateratmichigan/coffee-talks

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Jeremy Taylor Outstanding Research Mentor Award Featured Lecture with Tianxi Cai\, PhD + Reception
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Department of Biostatistics is pleased to host Tianxi Cai\, PhD (Harvard University)\, recipient of the 2025 Jeremy Taylor Outstanding Research Mentor Award\, for a featured academic seminar on Thursday\, January 22 at 3:30 p.m. Dr. Cai is an internationally recognized leader in statistical learning\, risk prediction\, and the integration of electronic health records with genomic and clinical data. Her lecture will draw on her pioneering work in translational data science and precision medicine\, reflecting both her methodological impact and her deep commitment to mentoring the next generation of statistical scientists. A reception will follow the seminar. The reception is open only to those who attend the lecture.Toward Durable AI in Healthcare: Generalizable Learning from Imperfect EHR DataElectronic Health Record (EHR) data offers a promising foundation for real-world evidence\, yet its utility is often severely limited by the reality of fragmented\, imperfect data and significant heterogeneity across health systems. These inherent data flaws create major bottlenecks in generating evidence efficiently\, often resulting in fragile models that are highly susceptible to data shift and rapid aging. Consequently\, the challenge lies not just in accessing data\, but in efficiently transforming these messy\, disparate sources into reliable\, enduring AI solutions.This presentation outlines a comprehensive strategy to overcome these limitations and derive robust clinical insights from imperfect data. We will discuss how representation learning can address data sparsity and fragmentation by extracting stable latent features from incomplete patient histories. To tackle system heterogeneity and ensure model longevity\, we introduce robust transfer learning frameworks designed to immunize algorithms against distributional shifts. Furthermore\, we demonstrate how leveraging knowledge networks can bridge gaps in fragmented data by grounding models in broader biomedical context. Complementing these structural approaches\, we touch upon the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) to identify clinical outcomes not directly available in structured fields\, solving the problem of unobserved endpoints. By integrating these diverse methodologies\, we aim to establish a blueprint for efficiently building AI ecosystems that remain reliable and durable despite the complexities of real-world healthcare data.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Department of Astronomy 2025-2026 Colloquium Series Presents:
DESCRIPTION:\"Divergent Small Bodies: Interstellar Interlopers and Dark Comets\"\n\nIn recent years\, two entirely new classes of planetesimals have been discovered in the solar system: interstellar interlopers and dark comets. These still-enigmatic objects are challenging our understanding of the behavior and properties of comets and asteroids. In this talk\, I will review what has been learned to date from the known interstellar objects and dark comets\, highlighting the attributes that are difficult to reconcile with previous models of planetesimal behavior. In particular\, I will focus on the discovery and characterization of the third interstellar object 3I/ATLAS. I will discuss its properties in the context of the host population\, with a focus on what it tells us about planet formation throughout the galaxy. The Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) is poised to further transform our understanding of these classes of objects\, and I will discuss the feasibility of future discoveries via ground-based observations as well as possible intercept missions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Colloquium: Geometry of Riemann surfaces through the lens of probability
DESCRIPTION:The goal of this talk is to showcase how we can use stochastic processes to study the geometry of surfaces. After recalling basic facts about surfaces with constant curvature\, their length spectrum\, and Brownian motion on them\, we use the Brownian loop measure to express the lengths of closed geodesics on a hyperbolic surface and zeta-regularized determinant of the Laplace-Beltrami operator. This gives a tool to study the length spectra of a hyperbolic surface and we obtain a new identity between the length spectrum of a compact surface and that of the same surface with an arbitrary number of additional cusps.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Bur oak evolution and its impact on the forest
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Summary - The bur oak (Quercus macrocarpa) is a foundation of eastern North American forests and savannas. It is massive\, long-lived\, strong\, and enormously variable. But the bur oak is no lone wolf: it exchanges genes with other oak species from the Black Hills to Vermont\, and from northern Minnesota to Texas. This talk will provide an overview of ongoing rangewide and reciprocal transplant studies of bur oaks undertaken as part of a collaborative NSF - NSFC Dimensions of Biodiversity project\, “Consequences of diversity in Asian and American tree syngameons for functional variation\, adaptation and symbiont biodiversity.” It will present analyses of genomic\, trait\, mycorrhizal\, and gall wasp data to provide an integrative view of how bur oaks and their relatives shape the forest.

DESCRIPTION:\n\nDeepa Butoliya is a designer\, researcher\, and educator whose work celebrates human ingenuity and creativity in the face of constraint. Born and raised in India and now based in the United States\, she explores how design practices from around the world—especially those rooted in improvisation\, resilience\, and care—can expand how we think about innovation.\n\nHer ongoing research centers on Jugaad\, a Hindi term meaning “making do with what you have.” More than a practice\, Jugaad represents a mindset of resourcefulness and adaptability. Deepa’s work traces this spirit of everyday creativity across cultures and connects it to movements of resistance and repair. In Detroit\, she co-curated Jugaad in the D: Ingenuity and Resistance in Detroit and Motown Masala\, exhibitions that highlight the city’s vibrant culture of grassroots innovation and collective resilience.\n\nTrained as both an architect and industrial designer\, Butoliya holds degrees from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur and the University of Illinois at Chicago. She has taught at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Illinois at Chicago\, and has worked with organizations including the Development Lab at MIT and GE Healthcare. Her research and workshops have been presented at international conferences such as IDSA\, Making Futures\, EPIC\, CHI\, IASDR\, and Speculative Futures.\n\nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.\n\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.

SUMMARY:Performance:Garnet Rogers
DESCRIPTION:\"A brilliant songwriter. One of the major talents of our time.\" –Boston Globe\n\nIn a darkened bedroom\, lit only by the amber glow from an old floor model radio\, two young brothers aged 6 and 12 lay in their beds\, listening to the country music broadcasts from the Grand Ol’ Opry\, and practiced their harmonies. Two years later\, the youngest one was playing the definitive 8-year-old’s version of “Desolation Row” on his ukulele. He soon abandoned that instrument to teach himself the flute\, violin and guitar.\n\nWithin ten years\, and barely out of high school\, Garnet Rogers was on the road as a full-time working musician with his older brother Stan. Together they formed what has come to be accepted as one of the most influential acts in North American folk music.\n\nSince then\, Garnet Rogers has established himself as ‘One of the major talents of our time”. Hailed by the Boston Globe as a “charismatic performer and singer”\, Garnet is a man with a powerful physical presence – close to six and a half feet tall – with a voice to match. With his “smooth\, dark baritone” (Washington Post) his incredible range\, and thoughtful\, dramatic phrasing\, Garnet is widely considered by fans and critics alike to be one of the finest singers anywhere. His music\, like the man himself\, is literate\, passionate\, highly sensitive\, and deeply purposeful. Cinematic in detail\, his songs “give expression to the unspoken vocabulary of the heart” (Kitchener Waterloo Record). An optimist at heart\, Garnet sings extraordinary songs about people who are not obvious heroes and of the small victories of the everyday. As memorable as his songs\, his over-the-top humour and lightning-quick wit moves his audience from tears to laughter and back again.
