SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Music and the Brain
DESCRIPTION:What is it about music that can have such a strong effect on our emotions? Are we born with a sense of music? Why did the ability to respond to music evolve over time in humans? We will view and discuss the title Teaching Company course\, presented by Prof. Aniruddh Patel\, a noted neuroscientist and psychology professor at Tufts University. Craig Stephan is a retired physicist\, leader of previous OLLI courses on the science of climate change and a \"wannabe\" pianist. Prerequisites: a love of music and a curiosity about why we have it. This class for adults over 50 meets Mondays through Dec 5th. \nhttps://olli-umich.org/olli/index.php/member/ctlg/viewEventDetails/875

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Women and Aging
DESCRIPTION:This study group uses essays\, fiction\, poems and memoir excerpts written by women about aging as prompts for reflective writing. Following a discussion\, members will write during class and volunteers will share their writing with the group. Sample prompts are: Write about a fear you have in growing older or describe a strength or positive attribute that has emerged in you as you've grown older? This is not a creative writing class\, but an opportunity to reflect more deeply through writing about what aging means to us as individuals. Instructor: Beth Spencer. This class for adults over 50 meets Mondays through November 7th.\nhttps://olli-umich.org/olli/index.php/member/ctlg/viewEventDetails/898

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nLow-value health services constitute care that in most cases does not improve patient outcomes and can lead to unnecessary harms.  Choosing Wisely® (www.choosingwisely.org) is a large-scale\, evidence-based campaign to raise awareness of low-value health services that has gained international momentum since being launched in the United States in 2012.  However\, simple awareness of evidence is often insufficient to change many clinical decisions without strategies that target factors underlying clinicians’ decisions to order these services. \n\nOne factor that can drive clinicians to order low-value health services is the context in which they typically make such decisions.  Even when clinicians know certain services do not improve population-level outcomes\, their decisions to order these services for individual patients are often made quickly in the midst of seeing patients and multi-tasking.  These constraints may lead clinicians to rely on heuristics rather than careful deliberation.  Further\, clinicians can be influenced by patient requests that stem from beliefs that more health care intervention is superior. \n\nA promising solution to this problem that leverages insights from behavioral economics is to ask clinicians to commit to follow specific Choosing Wisely recommendations before patient encounters when their thinking can be more deliberative\, and then provide point-of-care supports to promote adherence to these commitments during patient encounters.  We recently tested this strategy in 6 primary care clinics and found it led to a significant reduction in orders for potentially low-value services\, but may also have increased substitute orders of questionable value.  These results highlight not only the great potential of this low-cost\, highly exportable strategy to discourage clinicians from ordering low-value services in a range of health care settings\, but also the potential for unintended consequences of efforts to reduce low-value care.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Special Seminar: The impact of fire\, nutrients\, and their interaction on the carbon balance of savanna ecosystems
DESCRIPTION:Carbon emissions from fires in savannas and forests play a key role in the global carbon cycle. As climates change and fires become more frequent and intense\, it will be critical to understand what factors determine the resilience of ecosystems to fire. Here\, I will present work from tropical savannas in Africa and South America that tests how fire changes ecosystem carbon storage\, and the role that climate\, nutrients\, and plant traits play in mediating the response of savannas to fire. By sampling fire manipulation experiments that have been ongoing for half a century\, I found that fire depleted carbon and nutrient pools in soils and vegetation\, but that the degree of the effect and the regulating mechanisms depended on climate. The fire-driven nutrient losses filtered the plant community towards more nutrient conservative slow-growing species\, suggesting nutrient limitation may limit the recovery of vegetation. Along similar lines\, particular plant traits regulated whether species could avoid mortality during fire and were significant determinants of carbon losses at the landscape scale. These results raise new questions about how nutrient losses may limit carbon sequestration\, and whether the distribution of plant functional traits can be used to predict resilience across different ecosystems\, which I will discuss in the context of my current and future work.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Measuring Dark Energy and The Hubble Constant With Type Ia Supernovae
DESCRIPTION:Type Ia Supernovae (SNIa) continue to be a critical probe in measurements of dark energy and The Hubble constant. I will discuss the role of SNIa in a new local measurement of the Hubble Constant by the SH0ES team that is in tension with measurements of the Hubble Constant from analysis of the Cosmic Microwave Background. I will discuss ongoing analyses from PanSTARRS and The Dark Energy Survey to provide state-of-the-art constraints on dark energy with SNIa. I will also present multiple new advances in methods of standardizing and calibrating these supernovae. Finally I will look ahead to the next generation of surveys including LSST and WFIRST and discuss critical questions about systematics of current analyses that must be solved for these future surveys to be successful.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Integrable Systems and Random Matrix Theory
DESCRIPTION:This is a continuation of last week's seminar: In this lecture\, we consider the famed doubly-infinite Toda lattice which is completely-integrable. We present the inverse scattering transform method for the solution of the Cauchy initial value problem for sufficiently decaying initial data. As is well known\, the Toda lattice equations can be recast as an isospectral flow on Jacobi matrices and this gives rise to the existence of a Lax pair. Thus we move on to cover scattering theory for Jacobi matrices\, introduce the scattering transform and scattering data associated with a Jacobi matrix. Then we cover the time evolution of the scattering data under the dynamics induced by the Toda lattice equations and present the Riemann-Hilbert formulation of the inverse scattering transform. We review some results on long-time asymptotics of the solutions of the Cauchy initial problem for sufficiently decaying initial data. Time permitting\, we plan to consider Hamiltonian perturbations of the Toda lattice. Speaker(s): Deniz Bilman (University of Michigan)
