The system offers a low-cost\, automated alternative to traditional friction measurement methods\, enabling frequent\, wide-area monitoring without the need for dedicated instrument calibration.\n\nLeveraging Physics-Enhanced Residual Learning (PERL)\, the AV control module achieves high slip ratios at peak Tire-Road Friction Coefficient (TRFC) values\, improving estimation accuracy. Cooperative perception aggregates telematics data from connected AVs and regular vehicles (RVs)\, mitigating individual measurement errors and expanding coverage across diverse road conditions. A network smart routing strategy is proposed to optimize AV deployment for friction sensing\, utilizing real-time traffic and environmental data without incurring extra resource costs. Field validation will be conducted at the Level-3 CAV testbed at the University of Wisconsin–Madison\, using vehicles equipped with FHWA CDA CARMA capabilities.\n\nMore on this research: https://myumi.ch/XGxQX\n---\nAbout the speakers:\nDr. Xiaopeng (Shaw) Li is currently a Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and an affiliate in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison).

Cartan DESCRIPTION:It is well known that τ -functions of KP hierarchy are parameterized by points in Sato’s Universal Grassmannian manifold (UGM). These τ -functions have Schur expansions with coefficients satisfying Plücker relations. In this talk we will show that all τ -functions of BKP hierarchy can be written as Pfaffians of skew-symmetric matrices. These τ -functions are parameterized by points in the universal orthogonal Grassmannian manifold (UOGM). They have natural Schur-Q expansions with coefficients satisfying Cartan-Plücker relations. As a byproduct this parameterization gives a constructive description for complex pure spinors de E. Cartan. As an application\, we reprove a theorem due to A. Alexandrov which states that τ -functions of KdV satisfy BKP up to rescaling of the time parameters by 2. We prove this by showing that the KdV hierarchy can be viewed as 4-reduction of the BKP hierarchy. This interpretation gives complete characterization for the KdV orbits nside the BKP hierarchy. This talk is based on preprint arXiv:2210.03307.

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk:\nNew evidence drawing on data from millions of U.S. workers reveals that workplace wellbeing is a critical driver of productivity\, retention\, talent attraction\, and ultimately\, profitability\, even though it is often dismissed as a “nice-to-have” perk. In this session\, Dr. George Ward will share research from his recent book\, \"Why Workplace Wellbeing Matters: The Science Behind Employee Happiness and Organizational Performance\" (Harvard Business Review Press\, 2025)\, and highlight how organizations shape both how people think about their jobs and how they feel while doing them. He believes it’s time to take happiness seriously.\n\nUsing insights from the world’s largest dataset on employee wellbeing—collected in partnership with Indeed and spanning millions of workers across industries and countries—this session will discuss why workplace wellbeing goes far beyond individualized wellness programs. Instead\, wellbeing should be seen as a core organizational capability\, fundamentally shaped by how work is designed and managed. Join us to learn how organizations can foster employee happiness\, and how these choices may translate into performance gains for companies that prioritize their people’s wellbeing.\n\nAbout Ward: \nGeorge Ward is an Assistant Professor of Organisational Behaviour at INSEAD. He earned his PhD from MIT’s Sloan School of Management and was subsequently the Mary Ewart Junior Research Fellow in Economics at Somerville College\, University of Oxford. He has published widely in leading academic journals across economics\, psychology\, and management\, and is the coauthor of Why Workplace Wellbeing Matters (Harvard Business Review Press) and The Origins of Happiness (Princeton University Press). His work focuses on the study of human wellbeing\, using Big Data and cutting-edge statistical techniques to address pressing challenges in business and public policy.\n\nHost:\nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nSeries Sponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and the Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurship for their support of the 2025-26 Positive Links Speaker Series. \n\nSeries Promotional Partners:\nAdditionally\, we thank Ann Arbor SPARK\, the Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division of the Academy of Management\, and the Organization Development and Change (ODC) Division of the Academy of Management for their Positive Links Speaker Series promotional partnerships.

Deift and X. Zhou\, aiming to provide new and simpler proofs of some key L∞ bounds and Lᵖ a priori estimates. Our proofs emphasize a further step towards understanding focusing problems and extend the applicability to other integrable models. As a concrete application\, we examine the perturbation of the one-dimensional defocusing cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation and modified KdV equations.

Through closely reading a range of texts—from manuscripts to hastily printed books\, and from phonetically spelled pamphlets to sexually explicit broadsides—Bascom uses the language of queer studies to understand what made someone singular in the early United States and how that singularity points at the ruptures in social codes that get normalized through historical analysis. Ben Bascom was a 2024-2025 recipient of the Norton Strange Townshend Fellowship at the Clements Library.\n\nSpecial thanks to the Spectrum Center for sponsoring this episode\, presented in celebration of LGBT History Month!

Hampton of Stephen F. Austin State University presents a history of how\, from the game's early days\, college football and a strain of masculine Christianity built a mutually reinforcing culture that taught lessons in America's dominant religious\, gendered\, and racial belief systems. He examines how Christians of many denominations embraced the game to shape their faith to meet changing social demands\, seeking spiritual and personal meaning on the gridiron. Fans watched the action to find God's lessons for them\, wins and losses expressing divine will while the game's popularity offered potent ways to evangelize non-believers. The sport also provided a stage for fostering Christian manhood\, male community\, gender dominance\, and on-the-field heroic displays serving a higher purpose. Dr. Hunter will give a free online live lecture Monday\, October 20\, 7-8:30 PM via a Zoom webinar. Register at tinyurl.com/GridironGospel.

We illustrate the geometric approach by considering two examples recently obtained by M. van der Put and J. Top in their study of a certain ansatz of isomonodromic deformations of linear ODEs. We provide explicit coordinate transformations identifying these examples with standard form of some Painlevé equations and also explicitly identify their Hamiltonians.

Michigan’s research focused on the expansion of the city under Rome\, its exports to the empire\, and the activities of its suburbs. \n\nIn this talk\, David Stone examines the evidence for the origins of the city—a subject that might be thought of as the “prequel” to Michigan’s research focus. He investigates the settlement and cemeteries of the 5th to 3rd century BCE\, a time when we see the horizons of inhabitants expanding as they came into more frequent contact with other Mediterranean cultures. Using an approach to rooted in identity and globalization theories\, Dr. Stone argues that to understand the early phases of the city\, one must shift the debate on North African peoples in the first millennium BCE away from a focus on discrete cultural groups and toward the ways material culture was employed to make statements regarding power\, identity\, and social status.\n\nTo register for this Flash Talk\, fill out the form at https://forms.gle/nLAPRPWoJwfgcGrm9.

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk:\nGood listening isn’t just passive attention\; it is an active tool that shapes how people think\, feel\, and connect. Professor Guy Itzchakov’s research shows that high-quality listening\, marked by focused attention\, accurate understanding\, and a non-judgmental intent\, facilitates profound introspection\, self-disclosure\, and social connection. When employees feel truly heard\, they report higher job satisfaction and performance\, stronger commitment\, and lower burnout and turnover intentions. Experiments also show that being genuinely listened to reduces social defensiveness\, promotes self-reflection\, and can depolarize attitudes and disagreements. \n\nIn this Positive Links session\, Prof. Itzchakov will share his cutting-edge research and unpack what makes listening “high quality” and why it matters for leaders\, employees\, and practitioners. Drawing on studies from his lab and work with organizations worldwide\, he will explain the components of good listening and demonstrate concrete behaviors that make people feel understood. Join us to learn how high-quality listening builds trust\, liking\, and relationship satisfaction\; how it can bridge ideological divides and spark innovation by reducing defensiveness\; and how to cultivate a listening culture through training and practice. By the end of the session\, you will have research-based tools to foster positive relationships and build organizations where people can thrive. \n\nAbout Itzchakov:\nGuy Itzchakov is an Associate Professor and Department Chair in the Department of Human Services at the University of Haifa\, where he directs the “Interpersonal Listening and Social Influence Lab”. Guy received his PhD in Business Administration from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (2017) and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto (2018). \n\nHis research focuses on the effects of high-quality listening on listeners’ and speakers’ emotions\, attitudes\, and behaviors\, as well as listening training in organizations. Guy’s research includes laboratory experiments\, field studies\, and listening training studies. The latter examines how listening training programs in organizations impact managers\, employees\, and organizational outcomes. Other research lines include attitudes and persuasion\, attitude ambivalence\, and goal setting. \n\nHost:\nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nSeries Sponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and the Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurship for their support of the 2025-26 Positive Links Speaker Series. \n\nSeries Promotional Partners:\nAdditionally\, we thank Ann Arbor SPARK\, the Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division of the Academy of Management\, and the Organization Development and Change (ODC) Division of the Academy of Management for their Positive Links Speaker Series promotional partnerships.

A Virtuous Approach to Learning in Medicine DESCRIPTION:Medical training shapes what we know\, but also who we become. Yet too often\, students approach learning with fear\, self-protection and the need to appear certain. Dr. Benjamin Frush invites us to imagine another way — one that views the unknown as opportunity\, knowledge as something to share and humility as a source of strength. Drawing on theologian Paul Griffiths’ distinction between the vice of curiositas and the virtue of studiositas\, Dr. Frush explores how a healthier moral posture toward learning can transform both medical education and patient care. \n\nDr. Benjamin Frush\, MD\, MA\, is a palliative care physician and the McDonald Agape Fellow in Bioethics at the Kennedy Institute of Ethics at Georgetown University. He is a former fellow at the Theology\, Medicine\, and Culture Fellowship at Duke Divinity School\; a current bioethics scholar at the Paul Ramsey Institute\; and a former fellow at the Fellowship at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics (FASPE). His work in AMA Journal of Ethics\, Perspectives in Biology and Medicine and Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics focuses on virtue\, moral formation and end-of-life care. We first heard him speak at the Conference on Medicine and Religion and knew right away we had to bring him as a speaker. You won’t want to miss this conversation.

Amid the patchwork of policies\, one thing is increasingly clear: prevailing approaches to siting and permitting fall short. A fair share approach offers what existing policies lack: a path of shared responsibility\, balancing local and statewide interests and ensuring all communities contribute to meeting state goals.\n\nIn this webinar\, U-M's Center for EmPowering Communities and Clean Air Task Force will introduce a “fair-share” policy model\, put forward in our recent paper\, A Fair Share for Clean Energy. We’ll begin with an overview of current siting policies from Clean Tomorrow\, then explore how the core principles of a fair share approach could address existing challenges and where elements of this approach are already emerging in state policy. While there is unlikely to be one “off-the-shelf” model\, we will discuss strategies for adapting this framework to fit existing regulatory contexts.

However\, the potential expansion of the global nuclear industry introduces—and in some cases reinforces—problems that technological solutions alone will not be able to fix. Our new research shows that the widespread adoption of advanced nuclear reactors is likely to entrench global disparities\, privilege markets over the public good\, overlook local and Indigenous knowledge\, intensify environmental injustices\, and abandon promises of local development and empowerment. Building on these insights\, we provide policy guidance to maximize the potential benefits and minimize the likely harms of adopting these new nuclear energy technologies.\n\nJoin us for a live conversation with the authors—Nora Lewis\, Txai Sibley\, Nicholas Stubblefield\, Michael Redmond\, Molly Kleinman\, Shobita Parthasarathy\, and Denia Djokić—to discuss research findings\, as well as policy recommendations for the governance of SMRs and the uranium supply chain.

The Renaissance marked this turning point: after centuries of ethereal figures floating in abstract space\, artists rediscovered the incarnate human form. Some\, like Leonardo da Vinci\, sought truth through dissection\, while Michelangelo saw in anatomy a path to transcendence. This talk explores how he fused science\, beauty\, and spirit (from the tenderness of the Pietà to the grandeur of the Sistine Chapel) and how the Catholic Church received his daring vision of the human body as a vessel of meaning.\n\nElizabeth Lev\, an acclaimed art historian who teaches in Rome at the University of Mary and the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas\, has served as a consultant to the Vatican Museums and written for publications such as The Washington Post and First Things. Author of The Tigress of Forlì and How Catholic Art Saved the Faith\, she has appeared on The Today Show\, Nightline\, and 60 Minutes\, and her TED Talk on the Sistine Chapel has reached over 1.9 million viewers! She is a well-known tour guide and has served as a consultant to the Vatican Museums for their art and faith itineraries\, projects with the Vatican Patrons of the Arts and wrote “Vatican Treasures: The Via Pulchritudinis\,” a film presented to Pope Benedict XVI in 2012. She lives in Rome with her husband\, Thomas Williams\, and their son Joshua and is a certified sommelier. Her insight brings the Renaissance alive.

Learn more about the series at https://michiganpsychedelic.med.umich.edu/education-events/. \n\nAbout the Talk:\nPsychedelic drugs now serve as instrumental tools in modern neuroscience for understanding the neural correlates and causes of consciousness. Often underappreciated is the vital role that psychedelics played in shaping the fundamental discoveries of monoamine neurotransmission during the mid-twentieth century. The profound psychoactive effects of mescaline and LSD sparked a paradigm shift in thinking that ultimately led to an evolution in our understanding of the biochemical basis of behavior and etiology of mental illness. \n\nThis talk will provide a historical exploration of the powerful influence that psychedelics had on prominent researchers whose work on monoamine neurotransmission revolutionized the way we think about the role of neurochemistry in behavior. In parallel\, we will examine the often-interwoven influence that psychedelics had on psychiatric researchers\, whose search for a psychedelic-like endogenous psychotogen in mental disorders like schizophrenia refocused the field from psychoanalytic explanations to explosive advances in psychopharmacology.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nNick Denomme\, PhD\, is a postdoctoral scholar studying the effects of psychedelics on cortical synaptic plasticity and dendritic integration with Drs. Robert Malenka and Boris Heifets at Stanford University. He received a PhD in pharmacology from the University of Michigan and has had a lifelong interest in psychoactive substances as powerful tools to understand how the brain generates the mind.

But without deliberate attention to the moral formation of trainees\, how can we hope to cultivate clinicians whose professional identity can withstand the environmental hazards of commercialized medicine? Dr. Ryan Antiel confronts this question head-on. In this talk\, he explores why virtue\, character and the habits of moral perception are essential — not optional — in shaping physicians who can care wisely and humanely for the most vulnerable. \n\nDr. Antiel will present one such effort underway at Duke University: The Good Surgeon. Drawing on strategies from the Oxford Leadership Initiative\, this project seeks to counter professional corrosion by forming a parallel community rooted in friendship\, mutual accountability and honest inquiry. Within this space\, difficult questions are raised\, new practices are tested and the seeds of durable professional identity are cultivated. It is an experiment in rebuilding moral architecture from the inside out. \n \nDr. Antiel is a pediatric surgeon and medical ethicist at Duke University\, where he serves on the faculty of the Trent Center for Bioethics\, Humanities & History of Medicine. His research combines empirical approaches from the fields of epidemiology\, decision-making sciences and child outcomes with conceptual work grounded in moral philosophy and theology. He applies these approaches to address ethical challenges surrounding the care of seriously ill fetuses and neonates.  He is also interested in how surgical residency shapes the character of surgeons-in-training and how best to form the virtues of character necessary for good surgical practice. \n \nYou can check out his work in leading medical journals like JAMA Surgery and NEJM. We are excited to hear his thoughts on cultivating moral resilience and professional integrity in modern medicine.

Specifically\, we choose the associated normalization constants so that the solution achieves its maximal peak\, which\, in the large-$N$ limit\, satisfies a Painlevé-type equation independently of the distribution of the (random) discrete eigenvalues. We identify two distinct universality classes\, determined by the structure of the discrete eigenvalues: the \textit{Painlevé--III} and \textit{Painlevé--V} rogue-wave solutions. In the Painlevé--III case\, the eigenvalues take the form $\lambda_j = v_j + i \mu_j$\, while for Painlevé--V they satisfy $\lambda_j = -\zeta \\, j + v_j + i \mu_j$\, with $0 < \zeta < 1$. In both cases\, $v_j$ and $\mu_j$ are sub-exponential random variables. Universality can then be summarized as follows: regardless of the specific realizations of the amplitudes and velocities\, provided they are sub-exponential random variables and the normalization constants are chosen to maximize the \(N\)-soliton solution\, the resulting maximal peak always corresponds to either a Painlevé--III or Painlevé--V rogue-wave profile in the large-$N$ limit.

As artificial intelligence reshapes our workplaces\, Jennifer explores a vital question: how do we ensure people still feel valued\, needed\, and significant when machines can outperform us? Drawing on years of research and reporting for her forthcoming book \"Mattering: The Secret to a Life of Deep Connection and Purpose\,\" Jennifer shows why mattering—feeling valued and having the opportunity to add value—is not a “soft” concept\, but a fundamental human need and a strategic imperative for organizations navigating technological change. This session offers practical insights for building workplaces where technology amplifies—not replaces—human contribution\, and where every employee feels empowered to create cultures of mattering for one another.\n\nHost:\nEthan Kross\, Professor of Psychology and Management & Organizations\, University of Michigan\; Faculty Associate\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nPartner: \nInstitute for Mental Fitness UID:143227-21892520@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143227 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Center For Positive Organizations,Free LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251219T182308 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260127T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260127T195000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Food Literacy for All DESCRIPTION:Food Literacy for All is a community-academic partnership course at the University of Michigan supported by the Sustainable Food Systems Initiative\, Program in the Environment\, School for Environment & Sustainability\, and our Michigan-based community partners. \n\nFrom January to April 2026\, Food Literacy for All features dynamic guest speakers each Tuesday evening (6:30-7:50 PM) to address the challenges and opportunities of diverse food systems.

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk:\nA troubling trend is emerging in today’s workplace: employee morale and overall satisfaction are in sharp decline\, despite companies investing more in wellness initiatives than ever before. What’s missing? Contrary to popular beliefs and large investments from companies\, “add-on” offerings like wellness classes\, mindfulness training\, and healthy lifestyle initiatives are not perceived as helpful for improving employee wellness. Many organizations misunderstand wellness―it’s not a program or a box to check. Instead\, employees’ actual day-to-day experiences at work and interactions with their leaders are far more important than wellness programs or initiatives. \n\nLearn about a science-backed blueprint for fostering healthier\, more productive work environments rooted in actionable steps for leaders to become “Generators”―the leaders organizations and employees value most who cultivate genuine connections\, create a positive team culture\, and help employees achieve their work and life goals. Gain a clear\, data-driven path forward and a concrete plan to turn the session’s insights into action―to become the Generators you and others have the potential to be. \n\nAbout Sawyer:\nDr. Katina Sawyer is an internationally recognized expert on the science of workplace wellness. She is the co-author of \"Leading for Wellness: How to Create a Team Culture Where Everyone Thrives\" and co-host of the Leading for Wellness podcast\, which brings research-backed insights to people passionate about building thriving workplaces. As co-founder of Workr Beeing\, Dr. Sawyer is on a mission to make evidence-based wellness strategies accessible to employees everywhere. \n\nA TEDx speaker and a thought leader featured in Harvard Business Review\, Forbes\, Fast Company\, and other major outlets\, Dr. Sawyer has delivered hundreds of presentations to audiences around the world. Her expertise has also been showcased on both local and national news\, where she brings clarity and inspiration to conversations about what it takes to foster wellbeing at work. \n\nDr. Sawyer is also an award-winning researcher and an Associate Professor of Management and Organizations at the University of Arizona’s Eller College of Management.

There\, I will outline a construction of spinor analogs of the Camassa–Holm equation. In essence\, each orthogonal group gives rise to a Camassa–Holm–type equation with intricate internal dynamics. I will motivate this generalization using spectral deformations of the Euler–Bernoulli beam problem\, which corresponds to the Clifford algebra on two generators with Minkowski signature.

This system is well-posed below the mass of the soliton\, but above this threshold there are solutions that blow up in finite time.\n\nThe defocusing model arises as a modulation equation for internal waves in a deep stratified fluid. In this setting\, it is a member of a family of systems known as the intermediate nonlinear Schrödinger equations.\n\nIn this talk\, we will discuss some recent well-posedness results for the continuum Calogero--Moser and intermediate nonlinear Schrödinger equations. This is based on joint works with Andreia Chapouto\, Justin Forlano\, Rowan Killip\, and Monica Visan.

In an era when global health is often reduced to short-term interventions and metrics\, the deeper moral demands of accompaniment can fade from view. Dr. Rick Hodes challenges this narrowing of vision. In his upcoming talk for the Woll Family Speaker Series\, he invites us to consider medicine not as a transaction\, but as a sustained moral commitment.\nDrawing on more than three decades of work in Ethiopia\, Dr. Hodes will share stories of children with complex cardiac and spinal conditions and of a physician who chose to stay. He explores the ethical tensions of caring for patients whose needs far exceed available resources\, and asks what obligations endure when the usual boundaries of training\, geography\, and time fall away.\nDr. Hodes is an internist who has lived and worked in Ethiopia since the mid-1980s. His work brings children to the United States for life-saving care while strengthening local medical capacity. We are honored to welcome Dr. Hodes to the Woll Family Speaker Series for a conversation that will challenge\, inspire\, and reframe how we think about moral responsibility in medicine.\n\nWe are grateful to co-sponsor this talk with Global Reach.

A key challenge to disseminating this data is making it findable – helping users discover our data resources and making them aware of the ways in which ICPSR data can support their research needs. \n\nTo address this challenge\, ICPSR created a metadata export API (Application Programming Interface) that enables individuals and institutions to programmatically retrieve study-level metadata about ICPSR studies in multiple standards-based formats. The API supports reuse of ICPSR metadata in local catalogs\, discovery systems\, research workflows\, and downstream applications. It extends and enriches ICPSR’s reach while increasing the FAIRness (findability\, accessibility\, interoperability\, and reusability) of its data collections. \n\nIn this presentation\, members of ICPSR’s metadata team will demonstrate the new metadata export API and its benefits\, including how to query it to find studies that meet specific research needs\, what information is returned in the results\, and how these exports improve upon ICPSR’s previous metadata distribution offerings. If you're interested in incorporating ICPSR data into another discovery platform\, this session will show you how to get started.\n\nPresenters:\n * Mike Shallcross\, Senior Associate Archivist\, Metadata & Preservation\, ICPSR\n * Megan Chenoweth\, Metadata Manager\, Metadata & Preservation\, ICPSR\n * Jared Lyle\, Archivist and Director\, Metadata & Preservation\, ICPSR UID:144411-21895317@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/144411 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Data,Data Analysis,Data Collection,Data Curation,Data Management,Icpsr Data Fair,Love Data Week,Metadata LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260123T171709 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260212T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260212T150000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:AI at ICPSR: The Feb. 2026 Edition DESCRIPTION:Have you wondered whether you can use Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools with publicly available data from places like ICPSR?

Evolving forward in time\, the profile will eventually undergo wave breaking\, shedding the solitons and generating a dispersive shock wave. We study this phenomenon for two PDE. The first SSE\, for the intermediate long wave equation\, is constructed to approximate general smooth Klaus-Shaw initial data. We first conduct a heuristic WKB approximation to determine the approximate scattering data and then rigorously study the inverse scattering problem using the methods of Lax and Levermore. We show the initial condition is recovered in the limit and the solution up until wave breaking approaches that of Invicid Burgers' equation in an L^2 sense. The second SSE is the sech^2 initial condition for the Korteweg-de Vries equation. Inverse scattering is done via a Reimann-Hilbert problem and the method of nonlinear steepest descent is employed. This project is joint work with K. Schmidt (University of Central Florida) and R. Buckingham (University of Cincinnati).

In an online survey platform (UMN Qualtrics)\, 271 participants watched five brief curated videos of a simulated automated vehicle navigating different rural intersections\, with or without the presence of traffic\, made a decision about whether they would like to take over control\, and rated their trust and comfort with the automated vehicle navigating each intersection. Intersection type was not predictive of AV trust and comfort with navigating the different intersections\, however\, drivers’ takeover decisions\, level of education\, past experience driving on J-turn intersections\, and urbanicity predicted the level of trust and comfort with the automated vehicle. The outcome of this work led to the development of a repository of curated simulated videos that were made publicly available for future research projects.\n\nFunded Research: https://ccat.umtri.umich.edu/research/minnesota/examining-driver-hand-off-and-take-over-of-avs-at-j-turn-intersections/\n---\nAbout the speakers:\nNichole is the Director of the Human Factors Safety Laboratory and Associate Research Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Minnesota.

Edmondson\nThursday\, February 26\, 2026\n3:00 - 4:00 p.m. ET\nFree and open to all\, registration required\nIn-Person & Online Options Available\n\nEvent link: https://myumi.ch/8qynj\n\nPositive Links:\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations\, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk: \nThis session explores a mindset shift that supports effective action in the face of uncertainty. This shift is well captured by the short phrase\, “think like a scientist\,” offered as a deliberate contrast to thinking like a (command-and-control) manager. Classically\, managers supplied answers and plans and evaluated how well others executed on them. In contrast\, successful leaders of scientific labs offer direction and questions that empower action and help others make sense of data. This is not about being more lenient or laissez-faire\, but rather about a new type of discipline. Their model provides an analog that leaders in any industry today can learn from. In short\, today’s leaders must abandon the discipline of control to embrace the discipline of learning. Key concepts covered include psychological safety\, intelligent failure\, and interpersonal skills for high-quality conversations. \n\nAbout Edmondson:\nAmy C. Edmondson is the Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at the Harvard Business School\, a chair established to support the study of human interactions that lead to the creation of successful enterprises that contribute to the betterment of society. \n\nHer 2019 book\, \"The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning\, Innovation and Growth\,\" has been translated into 15 languages. Edmondson’s latest book\, \"Right Kind of Wrong\,\" builds on her prior work on psychological safety and teaming to provide a framework for thinking about\, discussing\, and practicing the science of failing well. First published in the US and in the UK (Penguin) in September 2023\, the book is due to be translated into 24 additional languages and was selected for the Financial Times and Schroders Best Business Book of the Year award. \n\nHost:\nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nSeries Sponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and the Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurship for their support of the 2025-26 Positive Links Speaker Series. \n\nSeries Promotional Partners:\nAdditionally\, we thank Ann Arbor SPARK\, the Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division of the Academy of Management\, and the Organization Development and Change (ODC) Division of the Academy of Management for their Positive Links Speaker Series promotional partnerships.

This therapeutic efficacy is thought to involve neurons in the prefrontal cortex that express serotonin 2A receptors. \n\nHere\, using neural circuit cracking\, genetic engineering\, pharmacology\, and machine learning\, we discover extensive actions of psychedelic drugs that are independent of serotonin 2A receptors. We find that psychedelic drugs acutely target channels that are ubiquitously expressed across the brain and show that even neurons lacking serotonin 2A receptors can show a long-lasting boost in neuroplasticity after psychedelic treatment. \n\nThese results highlight a broader psychedelic therapeutic utility than currently appreciated and also suggest the need to be wary of actions on previously unexpected cells and synapses.

DESCRIPTION:I will provide first a gentle introduction to Dirac geometry\, which is a way to unify pre-symplectic and Poisson geometry\, as well as turning possibly singular Poisson structures into a perfectly smooth object. \n\nAfter this\, I will consider a particular situation of transferring Dirac structures which is the following:\ngiven an embedded submanifold X of a Dirac manifold (M\, L_M) and given p: X -> Y a smooth surjective submersion\, we want to derive the minimal set of conditions to transfer the Dirac structure L_M on M to a Dirac structure L_Y on Y. These conditions are however not compatible with concurrence\, which is a generalization for Dirac structures of the notion of commuting Poisson pairs. \n\nThen I will characterize a geometric structure\, more precisely a vector bundle E\subset TM|_X that is a \emph{witness} for concurrence: it allows to transfer weakly concurrent Dirac structures on M to weakly concurrent Dirac structures on Y. We show that the Marsden-Ratiu reduction in Poisson geometry is exactly a special case of this construction. Furthermore\, in the presence of a Hamiltonian action of a Lie group G on L_M\, there is a natural candidate for a witness E. \n\nThe main results carry over to the case of complex Dirac structures.

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk:\nSocial psychologist and leadership expert Adam Galinsky has spent three decades building a method for determining when we are inspiring versus infuriating\, and where each of us—presidents\, CEOs\, coaches\, teachers\, parents—currently land on that spectrum. In this talk\, Galinsky will unpack the science of inspiration and show how inspiring and infuriating leaders represent a universal continuum that is rooted in the very architecture of the human brain. In his research\, Galinsky has identified the three universal features in inspiring others. Because these three universal factors can be learned and developed\, Galinsky has proven that inspiring leaders aren’t just born—instead\, we can inspire or infuriate in any given moment through our behavior\, words\, or presence. Galinsky will reveal how all of us\, regardless of status or circumstance\, can be more inspiring more often. \n\nAbout Galinsky:\nAdam Galinsky is the Paul Calello Professor of Leadership and Ethics at Columbia Business School. A world-renowned expert in leadership and negotiation\, he authored the recently released \"INSPIRE: The Universal Path for Leading Yourself and Others\" and co-authored the bestselling book\, Friend & Foe. His books are based in over 300 scientific articles and chapters he has co-authored. His TED Talk\, \"How to Speak Up for Yourself\,\" has over 7.7 million views\, highlighting his impact on influence and inspiration. Professor Galinsky has served as a damages expert in a dozen trials involving reputational damage\, including Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News and Bacon v. Nygard. His expert reports and testimony have generated more than $1 billion in verdicts and settlements. He is an Executive and Associate Producer on six award-winning documentaries\, including two (Horns and Halos (2003) and Battle for Brooklyn (2011)) that were short-listed (final 15) for Best Documentary at the Academy Awards. He received his PhD from Princeton University and his BA from Harvard University.\n\nHost:\nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nSeries Sponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and the Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurship for their support of the 2025-26 Positive Links Speaker Series. \n\nSeries Promotional Partners:\nAdditionally\, we thank Ann Arbor SPARK\, the Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division of the Academy of Management\, and the Organization Development and Change (ODC) Division of the Academy of Management for their Positive Links Speaker Series promotional partnerships.

Learn more about the series at https://michiganpsychedelic.med.umich.edu/education-events/. \n\nAbout the Talk:\n\nPsychedelic compounds profoundly alter conscious experience\, producing changes in perception\, cognition\, and self-awareness while typically preserving wakefulness. In recent years\, human neuroimaging studies have revealed that these experiential effects are accompanied by robust alterations in large-scale brain network organization. However\, a unifying framework for understanding how psychedelic drugs reshape brain-wide communication remains an open challenge.\n\nIn this talk\, Rui Dai\, PhD\, will present converging evidence from functional MRI studies across classical and non-classical psychedelics\, as well as comparisons with sleep and anesthesia\, to show that psychedelic states are characterized by increased integration across large-scale brain networks alongside heightened interaction complexity. These effects are most prominent along cortical hierarchies spanning unimodal sensory regions to transmodal association networks\, suggesting a systematic reconfiguration of global information flow rather than isolated regional changes.\n\nBy contrasting psychedelic states with unconscious or diminished-consciousness states\, this work highlights large-scale network integration as a core neural feature supporting conscious experience. Together\, these findings position psychedelics as powerful tools for probing fundamental principles of brain-wide communication and the neural basis of consciousness.\n\nAbout the Presenter:\n\nRui Dai\, PhD\, is a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Michigan Medical School. Her research uses human noninvasive neuroimaging to investigate the neural basis of consciousness across spatial scales\, with earlier work focusing on the neural representation of conscious content during task performance and more recent work examining how local and large-scale brain dynamics reconfigure across altered states of consciousness\, including psychedelic\, sleep\, and anesthetic states.

Ask questions\, explore possible career paths\, and expand your knowledge of communication. Welcome to all!\n\nAccording to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association:\nAssistive and Alternative Communication devices are used by individuals who cannot rely on their speech. Typically\, these individuals with expressive language impairment have disabilities like autism spectrum disorder\, cerebral palsy\, and others. AAC devices can also be used by those who need temporary assistance\, like those recovering from surgery. As the name suggests\, these devices are used to add to the individual's existing communication and give them the opportunity to fully realize their communication capabilities.\n\nAAC devices come in many different forms. Some lower tech options include pointing to letters\, pointing to pictures\, gestures/facial expressions\, and picture exchange communication systems. High tech options include using an app on a digital device and using a speech-generating device.

By avoiding the pitfalls of these technologies\, we can prevent these tools from hijacking our attention in unproductive ways that hold us back from living our lives fully.\n\nThis event is brought to you in partnership with the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan.\n\nWebinar on May 5\, 7:00pm - 8:30pm\nRegister here: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_sYcOP0pkTz-kK99SnYbnEw#/registration\n\nSpeakers:\n1.

Learn more about the series at michmed.org/rwYjR.\n\nBackground\nPsychedelic substances have been used for millennia among communities around the world. Understanding the diverse lived experiences of people who use psychedelics is critical to inclusively advancing psychedelic-related public policy\, harm reduction and clinical study design.\n\nMethods\nThe Global Psychedelic Survey (GPS) 2025 is an online multi-lingual cross-sectional international survey developed by over 80 academic collaborators and 40 non-government organizations. It gathered details on characteristics\, psychedelic and other substance use\, and associated self-reported outcomes among a global sample of people who use psychedelics. \n\nResults\nGPS 2025 recruited 9087 respondents (mean age: 41.8 years) from 105 countries. Most respondents had used psilocybin (87.3%)\, LSD (73.4%) and MDMA (71.9%). Personal growth was the most cited reason for use (85.7%)\, followed by recreation (61.5%)\, and general wellbeing (61.3%). We found significant regional differences in primary variables like access (e.g.\, more regulated access in Canada/USA\, online dealer access in Asia\, spiritual leader access in Central/South America)\, substances used (e.g.\, more nitrous oxide and ketamine use in Canada/USA and Oceania\, synthetic tryptamine use in Asia)\, and reasons for use (e.g.\, more use for mental and physical health in Canada/US\, boredom and productivity in Asia).\n\nDiscussion\nGPS 2025 extends our understanding of global psychedelic use\, revealing a complex and heterogeneous global community that spans continents\, languages\, and traditions. Continued efforts to integrate community-based evidence with clinical research and international policy development will be essential to optimize the potential personal\, public health and therapeutic benefits of psychedelics\, while minimizing associated risks and harms.\n\nSpeaker\nPhilippe Lucas\, PhD\, is a cannabis and psychedelic researcher and a lifelong safe access advocate. In 1999\, Philippe founded the Vancouver Island Compassion Society\, one of Canada’s first medical cannabis dispensaries\, and he was founding Board Chair of the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies Canada. Following a term on Victoria’s City Council\, he worked as VP\, Global Patient Research & Access at Tilray\, where he oversaw a comprehensive international clinical and observational cannabis research program. Currently\, he is Director\, Research & Safe Access at MAPS\, and a Research Affiliate at the University of Michigan’s Psychedelic Center\, and his studies include the Global Psychedelic Survey 2023/25.

Globally\, people spend trillions of dollars on wellness and longevity. We are endlessly searching for the secret to extending the quality and length of our lives. \n\nBut what if some people had already found the secret? And\, what if they are living longer without even trying? \n\nThat is what Dan Buettner believes he has uncovered in the blue zones. \n\nWe will be sitting down with the New York Times best-selling author and National Geographic fellow for the next installment of our Mini Symposium Series\, Lessons from the Blue Zones\, on Friday\, May 8\, at 2 p.m. via Zoom. We will learn about what makes the blue zones so special and how we can incorporate their secrets into our everyday lives. \n\nFollowing her conversation with Dan Buettner\, Dr. Eva L. Feldman will be joined by Michigan Medicine’s own experts — Drs. David Conroy and Donovan Maust— for a live panel discussion\, during which they will also field audience questions.

But how much thought are we giving to the ethics behind the images we take and share? Who is being represented? Who gets to tell the story? And how can photography unintentionally reinforce harmful stereotypes\, power imbalances\, or “othering\,” even when our intentions are good?\n\nJoin the Global REACH Student Advisory Board for a workshop with Dr. Sonya de Laat\, a scholar\, photographer\, and educator at McMaster University’s Mary Heersink School of Global Health and Social Medicine\, whose work explores the intersections of photography\, ethics\, humanitarianism\, and global health. Holding both an MA in Anthropology and a PhD in Media Studies\, her research examines how images shape public perceptions of suffering\, humanitarian action\, and social responsibility\, with a particular focus on the ethical implications of representation and storytelling in humanitarian settings. She also serves as Research Coordinator for the Humanitarian Health Ethics Research Group at McMaster University\, where she contributes to interdisciplinary research on ethics in humanitarian and global health practices. \n\nThis session is intended for students\, residents\, clinicians\, researchers\, and anyone involved in global health\, international education\, advocacy\, and/or visual storytelling! Whether you have taken photos during a global health experience\, shared images or videos online\, or simply questioned what ethical storytelling should look like in practice\, this workshop will encourage participants to think more critically about the responsibilities that come with documenting the lives of others.

Learn more about the series at https://michiganpsychedelic.med.umich.edu/education-events/. \n\nABOUT THE TALK\nSerotonergic psychedelics (e.g.\, psilocybin\, DMT\, LSD)\, primarily known for their mind-altering properties\, have garnered widespread attention for their potential to treat an array of physical and mental health conditions. However\, they are also known to increase wakefulness in animal models and produce a neurophysiological profile opposite to that seen during general anesthesia. This is clinically relevant given there is a lack of a pharmacological agent to reverse general anesthesia. \n\nTherefore\, we tested whether the serotonergic psychedelic 2\,5-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine (DOI) could induce behavioral arousal and restore brain dynamics associated with wakefulness during general anesthesia. \n\nWe provide the first evidence that DOI can reverse general anesthesia and restore wake-like brain dynamics during propofol or isoflurane anesthesia\, and this reversal is mediated by 5-HT2A receptor activation. Importantly\, this effect was not blocked by inactivation of cortical sites known to be rich in 5-HT2A receptors\, prompting a re-evaluation of the role of the cortex in states of consciousness.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nEmma Huels\, PhD\, is a postdoctoral research fellow in the University of Michigan Medical School Department of Anesthesiology with affiliations in the Center for Consciousness Science and Michigan Psychedelic Center.
