SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Diversity 101
DESCRIPTION:In order to have meaningful\, productive conversations about diversity\, equity\, and inclusion\, we must start with a common language. This session will provide an introduction to key terminology as well as the categories and labels we use to describe others and ourselves. We will also examine how our identities shape the way we enter the world and our interactions with each other. Emphasis will be placed on using our identities to help us understand the identities and experiences of others.In this session\, participants will:Identify the benefits of inclusive environmentsReview key terminology related to diversity\, equity\, and inclusionReflect on the origin of identities\, their intersectionality\, and their meaningsUse our own identities as a window to understanding the identities of others to build more authentic\, empathic relationshipsAudience:All LSA staff\, faculty\, graduate students\, and undergraduates currently employed in LSA are welcome to attend. External guests may request to join as room allows.For questions or requests for accommodation\, please contact our office (lsa-dei-office@umich.edu) as soon as possible.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:In-person Arabic Placement test_March 14\, 2023 (10:00am-12:30pm)
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Arabic Placement TestAbout the testThe test is approximately two hours and a half in length\, and it is composed of three portions:a. The writing portion is completed on paper and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed on Canvas site\, and it is worth a total of 48 points.c. Right after finishing with the reading portion\, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor. The interviews last approximately 15 minutes and it is worth a total of 20 points.Important: The interview portion will be weighted most heavily as it will be used to validate performance on the other portions. The final result/score/rating will thus be based on the student’s performance on the interview above all. Rating of performance on the writing or reading portions is secondary.Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the language requirement.Where can I view my results?Placement results are posted within 7 business days after the test.You will not be notified of your score automatically. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.Important information about the test* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in\, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* The test assesses students’ proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)\, NOT colloquial Arabic.* If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge\, feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before\, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM\, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level\, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement. * Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in\, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101\, 201\, 401\, 501 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 202\, 402\, 504 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* The Summer Language Institute (June & July) offers intensive Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 &102\, combined)\, Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202\, combined)\, and Arabic 401 & 402.About the UM Arabic programUM’s Arabic curriculum is a dual register curriculum in which students learn to speak and understand either the Egyptian dialect or the Levantine dialect (the dialect of Jordan\, Syria\, Palestine and Lebanon) in addition to learning to read and write and understand formal Arabic (fuSHa). Students starting to learn Arabic\, if they have no background in Arabic\, can choose to take either dialect or can switch their dialect focus from one semester to the next. The dialect focus of each class section is indicated in the schedule of classes.\nIf you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Controlling stochastic biophysical processes\, from protein folding to evolution
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The chemical reaction networks that regulate living systems are all stochastic to varying degrees.  The resulting randomness affects biological outcomes at multiple scales\, from the probability that a single protein molecule successfully finds its folded state to the evolutionary trajectory of a population of cells.  Understanding how the distribution of these outcomes changes over time is often difficult\, and achieving control over this distribution via external interventions is an even more complex challenge.  Intriguingly\, this problem has close parallels in a very different domain:  manipulating quantum states for applications like quantum computing and cold atom transport.  In this talk we show how one can translate quantum control into the classical realm of biology\, giving us a novel tool for steering biological processes.  We illustrate this idea through two examples:  the first is controlling the distribution of genetic variants in an evolving cellular population.  This is motivated by recent efforts to combat antibiotic resistance via therapies that guide the evolution of pathogens toward maximized drug sensitivity.  The second example involves controlling the distribution of protein folding states using so-called molecular chaperones:  protein enzymes that facilitate the unfolding or disaggregating of misfolded proteins.  The theoretical framework behind these two examples is quite general\, and can in principle be used in many other biophysical problems.  Finally\, we discuss ongoing work to explore the thermodynamic costs associated with control.

SUMMARY:Other:Unconventional Site Selectivity in Cross-Couplings of Dihaloheteroarenes
DESCRIPTION:Heteroarenes are ubiquitous motifs in high-value small molecules including pharmaceutical drugs and agrichemicals. Elaboration of halogenated heteroaromatic cores can be achieved through cross-coupling reactions\, which are among the most widely used methods in organic synthesis. However\, when two or more halides are present on the substrate\, controlling site selectivity becomes critical. In fact\, cross-couplings often follow a predictable selectivity pattern. For many dihalogenated heteroarenes\, methods do not exist to reliably invert the conventional pattern to achieve cross-coupling at the \\"less reactive\\" C—X bond. Herein we describe new catalyst-controlled strategies to accomplish this goal\, together with mechanistic studies to explain the origin of the selectivity inversion.                        \n                       \n\nSharon Neufeldt (Montana State University)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Lunch Seminar - Hybrid - \"Region-wide climate-driven grassland community shifts in a biodiversity hotspot\"
DESCRIPTION:Our weekly lunch seminar series featuring internal speakers in the field of ecology and evolutionary biology. This seminar will be in-person and livestreaming on Zoom.\n\nAbstract:\nEcological communities have been shifting rapidly under recent climate change with alarming consequences for biodiversity and ecosystem services\, yet the generality and causality of such shifts have to be demonstrated. We focus on grasslands in the California Floristic Province\, a global biodiversity hotspot spanning 300\,000 km2\, where considerable climate warming and drying have occurred. We compiled long-term grassland community composition data from 12 observational sites and a warming experiment\, estimated hundreds of species’ climate niches from millions of occurrence records\, and analyzed changes in community composition and species gain and loss in reference to their climate distributions. We show that these grassland communities experienced significant shifts toward species tolerant of warmer and drier conditions\, at a pace similar to climate warming and drying. The consistent observational and experimental evidence establish grassland community shift as a predictable fingerprint of climate change.
