SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biophysics Seminar:  Jeanne C. Stachowiak\, University of Texas at Austin
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nMembrane traffic\, an essential cellular process that plays a role in many human diseases\, requires key biophysical steps including formation of membrane buds\, loading of these buds with specific molecular cargo\, separation from the parent membrane\, and fusion with the target membrane. The prevailing view has been that structured protein motifs such as wedge-like amphipathic helices\, crescent-shaped BAR domains\, curved coats and constricting dynamin rings drive these processes. However\, many proteins that contain these structural motifs also contain large intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) domains of 300-1500 amino acids\, including most clathrin and COPII coat components. While these IDP domains have been regarded primarily as flexible biochemical scaffolds\, we have recently discovered that IDPs are highly efficient physical drivers of membrane budding. Further\, our work demonstrates that IDP domains serve as strong drivers of membrane fission. How can molecules without a defined structure drive membrane budding and fission? Our results support the idea that disordered domains generate entropic pressure at membrane surfaces\, which is critical to overcoming key biophysical barriers to membrane traffic. IDPs are particularly efficient generators of entropic pressure owing to their very large hydrodynamic radii\, potential for electrostatic repulsion owing to high net charge\, and the substantial entropic cost of extending them. More broadly our findings suggest that any protein\, regardless of structure\, can contribute to membrane remodeling by increasing entropic pressure\, and paradoxically\, that proteins that lack a defined secondary structure\, IDPs\, may be among the most potent drivers of membrane traffic. Our ongoing work focuses on understanding how entropic pressure influences membrane traffic\, and designing biophysical tools for manipulating receptor recycling and signaling.

SUMMARY:Other:Coloring Who We Are
DESCRIPTION:The coloring movement appeals to people of all ages\, but coloring books focused on the adult audience and available for purchase are often quite expensive. They also promote and adhere to a variety of cultural\, racial\, gender\, and ability stereotypes. In this hands-on workshop\, we'll touch on these issues\, share some examples and free samples which are more diverse and inclusive (including service dog coloring pages!)\, and demonstrate how to make your OWN coloring pages from your own photos with free online tools and apps.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Data Science Seminar: Gary King\, Harvard University
DESCRIPTION:The Michigan Institute for Data Science is proud to present a talk by Gary King\, the Albert J. Weatherhead III University Professor at Harvard University. King is the director of the Institute for Quantitative Social Science at Harvard.\n\nAbstract: The spectacular progress the media describes as “big data” has little to do with the data.  Data\, after all\, is becoming commoditized\, less expensive\, and an automatic byproduct of other changes in organizations and society. More data alone doesn’t generate insights\; it often merely makes data analysis harder. The real revolution isn’t about the data\, it is about the stunning progress in the statistical and other methods of extracting insights from the data. I illustrate these points with a wide range of examples from research I’ve participated in\, including forecasting the solvency of Social Security\; reverse engineering Chinese government censorship and fabrication of social media posts\; how the same methods can estimate the causes of death in developing countries and understand billions of social media posts\; an educational innovation that guarantee that students will do the reading\; among others.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Karen Emmorey Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nThe study of sign languages provides a powerful tool for investigating the neurobiology of human language. Signed languages differ dramatically from spoken languages with respect to linguistic articulators and perceptual systems required for comprehension. I explore whether key brain areas identified for processing spoken language are also critical for the comprehension and production of sign languages. In addition\, my work investigates domains where language interfaces with other cognitive systems\, specifically motion processing\, spatial cognition\, and action generation. The study of sign languages provides a unique window into the factors that do and do not influence the neural organization for language. As we begin to uncover the new biology of language\, moving beyond the classic brain regions of Broca and Wernicke\, investigations of sign language will help characterize and identify the neural architecture that supports the human language faculty.\n\nKaren Emmorey is a Professor of Speech Language at San Diego State University

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student AIM Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Special Functions frequently arise in applied mathematics\, especially as solutions to differential equations. However\, deriving (and remembering) their key properties can be a serious task. In this talk we explore the connection between representation theory and special functions to help define and understand properties of the famous Bessel functions J_n. Although the content of the talk is limited to Bessel functions\, the ideas may be applied to many other special functions.\n\nMain reference: Special Functions and the Theory of Group Representations - Vilenkin Speaker(s): Joe Kraisler (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Carrigan Lecture Series in Music Theory: Frank Samarotto
DESCRIPTION:Do music theories really become outmoded? If not\, what use is to be made of them? This talk will begin by briefly considering the “outmodedness” of scientific theories—sometimes paradoxical—and then contrast that with the situation of music theory.  Keeping some salutary cautions in mind\, I will recount some past uses of older music theories\, good and bad\, in order to consider which uses are foundationally legitimate. With this as preface I will then turn to a perspective that permeated theoretical language of the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries\, that known as energetics. In current thinking\, energetics is downplayed as vague and ungrounded\, but I will argue that concepts we associate with Kurth are indispensable to Schenkerian analysis and even to Riemann’s metric analysis. This will be extensively demonstrated in a close reading of that most energetic work\, the first movement of Brahms’s Third Symphony.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition on View: Practice Session #3
DESCRIPTION:Practice Sessions is part of the University of Michigan’s Third Century Initiative that funds experimental pedagogies in a bid to change how teaching and learning happen within the bounds of the institution. Over a five-year period\, ten architectural practices will be invited to Taubman College to run a practice session. Each session centers on an immersive four-day design charette that culminates in a juried review and exhibition.\nFor this session\, Neil Denari will run the workshop session and the guest critics invited to discuss the work at its conclusion are Dora Epstein Jones (Executive Director\, A+D Museum\, Los Angeles) and Ana Miljacki (Associate Professor\, MIT). Denari is a renowned architect from Los Angeles\, perhaps best known for HL23\, a residential building on the Highline in New York. (Workshop in the gallery\, October 7 -9\; review October 10)\nThe session is open to all architecture and urban design students\, undergraduate and graduate. The enrollment capacity is 20 students and selection will be based on a modified lottery that ensures a diverse mix across degrees and years.
