SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Weather as a Problem in Media Theory
DESCRIPTION:On its face\, weather sounds like the most banal and mundane thing possible.  When people talk about the weather\, we usually take that as a sign of nothing to talk about.  This talk aims to show that the accusation that talking about the weather is intellectually empty is hardly the case in the age of climate change\, and even dangerous.  The history of human interaction with weather is also a history of cultural techniques and media technologies.  Dramatists and divines have sought meaning from atmospheric events.  Reading the skies is one paradigm case of human-nature interaction\, and studying weather can stand in as part for whole as an inquiry into the environments humans have made or unmade.  The history of modern weather forecasting is also a history of the militarization of the sky and oceans\, and is co-extensive with the history of modern telecommunications and computation.  Weather raises two questions of profound interest to recent media theory: how mundane infrastructures are full of meaning and how vaporous or evanescent entities can be tracked\, recorded\, and programmed.  In this way\, studying the weather is a special case in media theory’s more general study of how media help constitute the world.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:BLI10 Founders Panel
DESCRIPTION:The Founder's Panel brings together the inaugural group of Michigan Alums who initiated and support the BLI’s student funding and leadership development programs.\n\nIn giving the founding gift to establish the Leadership Institute\, Dave Barger said\, \"Leadership is the frontline connectivity. It's about being plugged into the customer\, the culture\, the government and being visionary. What's exciting to me about this program is that it is directed at undergraduates. Leadership usually is wrapped into a program well down the career path in graduate school. The Institute will give undergraduates the ability to grab leadership concepts early. They will have experience painting the picture.\"\n\nThe panel will be an inspiring discussion and sharing of stories\, successes\, challenges\, insights on how we got here\, and where we are going\, with plenty of audience interaction.  Our esteemed panelists include Dave Barger\, Barry Blattman\, Jamie Sprayregen\, and Rick Price. \n\nAfter the showcase\, please join us for a closing reception in the Garden Courtyard with remarks from Dean Martin.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Seminar | A New Solution to the Gravitino Problem: Suppressed Production by Sgoldstino Dynamics
DESCRIPTION:In supersymmetric theories\, the gravitino is copiously produced by the scattering of the thermal particles at the end of inflationary reheating. The gravitino is overproduced unless the reheat temperature is sufficiently low\, which is incompatible with thermal leptogenesis. This is known as the gravitino problem. In models of low scale mediation\, the field value of the sgoldstino determines the mediation scale. We point out that the sgoldstino field value can be different in the early Universe than the present one. In particular\, a large initial field value since the era of the inflationary reheating suppresses the gravitino production significantly and removes the gravitino problem. We rigorously analyze the cosmological evolution of the sgoldstino and show that the reheat temperature may well exceed the conventional upper bound\, restoring the compatibility with thermal leptogenesis.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Quantifying Natural Hazards: From Earthquake Damage to Debris Flows
DESCRIPTION:Many natural hazards have been well known and qualitatively understood for decades\, but still lack accurate measures of how damaging future events will be. For example\, despite many years of research\, it still remains a question as to how much variability in ground motions one should expect of a large San Andreas type earthquake\, and whether early warning for debris flows can be successfully implemented. In this talk\, I address both of these questions by using simple but physically sound mechanical principles to quantify certain aspects of these hazards.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:\"Nanoscale Architecture of the Human Kinetochore\" and \"Interplay between antibiotic efficacy and drug-induced lysis leading to enhanced biofilm formation at Sub-MICs\"
DESCRIPTION:“Nanoscale Architecture of the Human Kinetochore”\n Alex Kurkreja\,  Biophysics Doctoral Candidate\n   ABSTRACT: The human kinetochore is a multi-protein machine that binds ~20 spindle microtubules (MTs) to drive chromosome segregation during cell division. Although the biochemical bases of the functions that the kinetochore performs to segregate chromosomes are well-understood\, defining the underlying mechanisms has proven to be challenging. This is because the kinetochore is highly complex in composition (hundreds of copies of eight protein components)\, and large in size (a ~200 nm diameter disk-shaped surface). To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying kinetochore functions\, its spatial architecture must be defined. Specifically\, the nanoscale architecture of its protein components relative to the 25 nm diameter of a MT\, and sub-micron scale organization of ~20 such MT attachments over its ~200 nm wide surface must be determined to reveal how kinetochore components interact with one another\, with regulatory proteins\, and with the MT lattice. Here we investigate the nanoscale architecture of the human kinetochore using FRET microscopy. We initiated this analysis with the MT-binding Ndc80 complex\, the linchpin of kinetochore-MT attachment\, and the two parallel pathways that recruit it to the kinetochore. Our data elucidate the spatial architecture of the Ndc80 complex and how its two biochemical pathways organize the human kinetochore\, establishing a foundation for defining a complete picture of its MT-binding machinery.\nand\n\n“Interplay Between Antibiotic Efficacy and Drug-Induced Lysis Leading to Enhanced Biofilm Formation at Sub-MICs” \nKelsey Hallinen\, Biophysics Doctoral Candidate\nABSTRACT: We study E. faecalis biofilm formation at varying concentrations of antibiotic\, using subminimal inhibitory concentrations (sub-MICs) of antibiotics on all wild-type biofilms and higher concentrations on mixed populations of both sensitive and drug resistant strains. In this work\, we investigate the effects of sub-MICs of ampicillin on the formation and extracellular matrix of E. faecalis biofilms. We found that total biofilm mass is increased over a narrow range of ampicillin concentrations before ultimately declining at higher concentrations. From our mixed population studies\, we show that the degree of cooperation between resistant and sensitive cells can significantly alter large-scale properties of the biofilm\, such as the ratio of sensitive to resistant cells and the statistical and architectural properties of cell-cell contact topologies.
