SUMMARY:Exhibition:Select Works By James Charles  Morris
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition by James Charles Morris will be at Palmer Commons\, 4th Floor Atrium\, February 13 - March 10. \n\nAbout the Artist:\nJames Charles Morris (b. 1984)\, is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist\, who has engaged in the creative visual media  practices of photography\, collage\, painting\, and printmaking for 20 years. Morris has used his work to engage in various  social conversations addressing themes of race\, spirituality\, history\, mental wellness and community. As a native  Detroiter\, Morris has always had a fondness for his hometown\, which is evident in his work. \n\nMorris’ artistic influence began to manifest at a very early age\, as he took found objects from around his home and  created new works. However\, his familial connections also informed his development. Grandmother\, Dell Pryor\, a  gallerist in the city of Detroit across four decades\, exposed James to many emerging and master artists. Some of those  names that ultimately influenced and inspired Morris include Adger Cowans\, Hugh Grannum\, Lester Sloan\, Al Loving\,  Gilda Snowden\, Shirley Woodson\, Anthony Barboza\, and Eric Pryor among others. \n\nIn 2008\, Morris founded Definitive Style Exclusive (DSE Detroit)\, a brand that uses an array of visual statements and  designs created with a simple yet blunt approach to touch on difficult and controversial topics within our society. \n\nIn 2019\, Morris began developing an artistic style that combines collage\, photo montage\, and abstract expressionism.  This collage-montage style has led Morris to create a series of figurative works\, that have engaged many within the  artistic community.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Sea Monsters
DESCRIPTION:The film follows a curious and adventurous Dolichorhynchops – familiarly known as a ‘dolly’ – as she travels through the most dangerous oceans in history. Along the way\, she encounters long-necked plesiosaurs\, giant turtles\, enormous fish\, fierce sharks\, and the most dangerous sea monster of all\, the mosasaur.\n\nThe state-of-the-art Planetarium & Dome Theater at the U-M Museum of Natural History transports visitors beyond distant stars and back in time from the comfort of reclining seats. Tickets $8. Tickets are available on the day of the show at the Museum Store.\n\nThe planetarium is operating at half capacity to maximize distancing between viewers.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:\"It Takes Two: Conserved bimodal interactions between the coronavirus fusion peptide and calcium ions promote host membrane insertion and viral entry\"
DESCRIPTION:The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) necessitates develop of effective therapies against the causative agent\, SARS-CoV-2\, and other pathogenic coronaviruses (CoV) that have yet to emerge.  Focusing on the CoV replication cycle\, specifically the entry steps involving membrane fusion\, is an astute choice because of the conservation of the fusion machinery and mechanism across the CoV family. For coronavirus\, entry into a host cell is mediated by a single glycoprotein protruding from its membrane envelope\, called spike (S). Within S\, the region that directly interacts with the membrane is called the fusion peptide\, FP. It is the physico-chemical interactions of the FP with the host membrane that anchors it\, enabling the necessary deformations of the membrane leading to delivery of the viral genome into the cell when a fusion pore opens. Thermodynamic\, kinetic\, and intermolecular interac-tions are useful to understand molecular level FP interactions with the host membrane. This knowledge can be leveraged to stop the spread of infection. Here\, we examine the impact of calcium ions on CoV entry. Using cell infectivity\, biophysical assays\, and spectroscopic methods\, we found that calcium ions stabilize the FP structure during conformational change that then allows its insertion into the host membrane\, resulting in increased lipid ordering in the membrane. This lipid ordering precedes mem-brane fusion and correlates with increased fusion activity and higher levels of infection when calcium in present. As such\, depletion of calcium ions leads to structure and activity changes in the fusion peptide that correlate well with in vitro experiments using calcium-chelating agents to block cell infection. We show calcium channel blockers can block virus infection in lung cells.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:[Rackham] Inclusive Leadership
DESCRIPTION:There is a lot of talk about “inclusive leadership\,” but many are left asking: What is it? Why is it important? How can I do it? This workshop will address these questions by presenting research on the specific traits\, elements\, and styles of inclusive leaders. Participants will be able to reflect on and share their own experiences and times that they have witnessed others modeling inclusive leadership. We will discuss the benefits of inclusive leadership at the individual and organizational level. The presenter will also share resources and best practices on inclusive leadership frameworks.\n\nLearning Objectives:\nUnderstand the components of inclusive leadership\nArticulate the benefits of inclusive leadership at both the individual and organizational level\nUnderstand the importance of inclusivity\nThis workshop is designed for University of Michigan master's students\, doctoral students\, and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff\, please contact rackhampdeworkshops@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.

SUMMARY:Well-being:Heartfulness Guided Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Heartfulness Guided Meditation is a weekly\, drop-in program designed to help you Mental well-being. \n\nAll U-M students\, faculty\, and staff are welcome to participate in guided meditation practice with a trainer every Friday at noon over Zoom (details to join are provided below). No prior experience with meditation is required. \n\n*What will you learn?*\n\nThe guided meditation practice involves three simple steps: relaxation\, rejuvenation\, and meditation.\n\nRelaxation brings your body to a calm\, steady posture creating a stillness at the physical level\, and prepares the mind for meditation. We follow this with a rejuvenation method to detox the mind to let go of stress and complex emotions\, and will leave you feeling light and refreshed. Lastly\, learning to meditate by being mindful of your heart will connect you with yourself by listening to your heart’s voice. \n\n*Why Meditate?*\n\nWhile physical fitness keeps our bodies in shape\, meditation is an exercise for the mind and mental wellness. In addition to the measurable benefits mentally and physically\, many people benefit from an unquantifiable inner poise and harmony. \n\n*Please take Learn to Meditate session if you are new to the practice. These sessions are offered Monthly.* https://events.umich.edu/event/128708\n\n*Event Details*\n\nHeartfulness Guided Meditation \nFridays from 12-12:30 p.m. ET (except during university season days / holidays)\nJoin Via Zoom Meeting\nRegister to receive Passcode (see “Related links”\n\n\nThis wellness program is coordinated by ITS Teaching & Learning and provided at no cost by heartfulness.org.
