SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibit: Hidden Worlds: The Universe of Pollen Revealed in Large-scale Ceramic Sculptures
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the beautiful forms that pollen takes\, the amazing power of these tiny grains of life\, and the challenges that honeybees and pollinators face\, U-M Stamps School of Art & Design professor Susan Crowell fashioned large-scale ceramic sculptures of pollen. The sculptures will be displayed in the conservatory at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. As part of the exhibit Crowell has also created three sculptures of  pollen collected from the 80-year-old agave that bloomed at Matthaei in 2014. The agave pollen sculptures are based on scanning electron microscope images of the pollen taken by the U-M Hospitals imaging lab.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Albert Kahn: Under Construction
DESCRIPTION:In the past two decades there has been a tremendous swell of interest in Detroit architect Albert Kahn (1869–1942)\, arguably the most important architect of American industrialization. Albert Kahn: Under Construction focuses on the remarkable archive of photographs assembled by Albert Kahn Associates while building the powerhouses of American industry\, from the Highland Park Ford Plant to the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Shot by an array of professional photographers based mainly in Detroit\, these often striking documentary images were a novel strategy for conveying information about the daily progress of construction to busy managers at the main office. The exhibition foregrounds the photographic series as a way of illustrating change over time—showing buildings as they grew on site—and Kahn’s innovative solutions to the architectural challenges of his day.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Siebren Versteeg: LIKE II (2016)
DESCRIPTION:In Siebren Versteeg’s LIKE II (2016)\, a computer painting program creates a composition using a continuously changing algorithm\, and then runs a periodic Google search to find a matching image online. Every sixty seconds\, the painting made by the computer is uploaded to Google’s “search by image” feature\, and images that most closely match the composition are then downloaded and displayed.\n\nThe notion of abstraction plays a central role in this work. Throughout modernity\, artists have sought inventive ways to free painting from its tradition as a representational medium. LIKE II inverts this ambition\, finding the reality hidden within pure abstraction. Because the work evolves based on whatever content is available online at any given moment\, the artist relinquishes a certain degree of creative control. Versteeg says\, “As the nature of the images presented by the work is random\, the artist assumes both all and no responsibility for their presence and content.”\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Department of Psychology Sameroff Lecture Series:  The Development of Human Reproductive Strategies:  Progress and Prospects
DESCRIPTION:An evolutionary biological perspective on the effects of the extra-familial and familial environment on multiple psychological\, behavioral and even somatic features of children’s development challenges prevailing thinking about human development which regards some contextual conditions and their sequelae as “good” and others as “bad”. Theory and research on the development of human reproductive strategies based on such evolutionary thinking has developed substantially over the past two decades. I review two decades of theory development and research findings pertaining to the development of reproductive strategies\, highlighting the contextual regulation of pubertal timing\, the distinctive role of father\, differential susceptibility to rearing influences\, mechanisms of influence\, new ways of conceptualizing the environment and thinking about long-term effects on health\, while outlining future directions for research.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:ISP Conference. After Alexander: Classical Texts in Arabic\, Persian\, and Armenian
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, translations between the classical languages – principally Greek\, Arabic and Latin – in the western Mediterranean have attracted robust scholarly attention. This conference aims to shift attention to a prequel to the late medieval translation movement in the west. The title suggests both a geography – east of the Mediterranean – and a historical arc\, late antique and medieval (or Umayyad and Abbasid). The conference will explore the entangled traditions of scientific and literary translation that flourished after Islamic expansion into territories once conquered by Alexander and ruled by the Sasanian Empire\, where Arabic\, Persian and Armenian intellectual and literary traditions encountered and responded to the heritage of the Greeks – and to each other.\n\nThis conference is presented in conjunction with the Classical Translation Contest - Classical Arabic\, Persian\, Armenian\, and Turkish. Open to all U-M undergraduate and graduate students. Winners of this contest will be invited to present their translations on April 18\, 2016 during the “After Alexander” conference. Submissions for the contest are due on Friday\, April 1\, 2016 by 5:00 PM to the Comparative Literature Main Office\, 2021 Tisch Hall (2nd floor). Visit http://lsa.umich.edu/contextsforclassics for details.\n\nSponsors: Islamic Studies Program\, Armenian Studies Program\, Center for European Studies\, Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, Contexts for Classics\, Department of Classical Studies\, Department of Comparative Literature\, Department of Near Eastern Studies\, Institute for the Humanities\, Medieval and Early Modern Studies

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Set Valued Dynamic Treatment Regimes
DESCRIPTION:Dynamic Treatment Regimes (DTRs) are composed of sequences of decision rules\, one per stage of treatment. Each decision rule inputs patient information and outputs a single recommended treatment. While the majority of present studies focus on finding the optimal DTR\, we take another approach. Instead of trying to determine the true best DTR\, we aim to construct a set of DTRs such that the true best DTR is contained in this set with a desired probability. The reasons are as follows: (1) Usually we do not have enough data to identify the best DTR and (2) we want to give patients and clinicians more options. To discuss the second reason in more detail\, patients and clinicians might have treatment preferences related to cost\, side effects or convenience\, etc. Thus\, our goal is to provide a recommended set of DTRs\, such that the DTRs contained in the set are those we cannot distinguish from the best\, while the DTRs we exclude are those that are certain to be inferior with high condence. This idea comes from decision support: we do not tell patients and clinicians what to do\; we do not offer treatments known to be inferior. Rather we offer a set of treatments that excludes inferior treatments. In this thesis we develop a set valued DTR in which the decision rules at each stage can output a set of treatments. Second we develop an approach for constructing a recommended set of DTRs.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CID Presents: Rebuilding Citizenship for the Twenty-first Century
DESCRIPTION:Citizen Interaction Design Presents:\n \n\"Rebuilding Citizenship for the Twenty-first Century\"\n\nGood governance now is intimately linked with digital\, and technology can reconnect people with their government\, Bracy believes. Citizens need to participate in this system of governance--at least at the local level--if they want to see an improvement in services.\n \n\"We don't have to just complain about what is broken in our communities\; we can use our skills to help fix it.”\n \nSpeaker Bio:\n\nCatherine Bracy is dedicated to bringing together local governments and technologists in a concerted effort to make better cities for everyone. She formerly served on Code for America's senior leadership team\, overseeing all public-facing programming. At Code for America\, she previously was the Director of Community Organizing\, responsible for Code for America's community network-building initiatives\, including the citizen volunteer program (the Brigade) and the international partnership program (Code for All).  \n \nUntil November 2012\, she was a product manager and director of the Obama campaign’s technology field office in San Francisco\, the first of its kind in American political history.  In that role she was responsible for organizing technologists to volunteer their skills to the campaign’s technology and digital efforts. Prior to joining the campaign\, she ran the Knight Foundation’s 2011 News Challenge and before that was the administrative director at Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet & Society.  She also sits on the board of directors of the Citizen Engagement Lab and the Public Laboratory for Open Technology and Science.
