SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Baldwin Prize Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:On Monday\, May 16\, CLaSP PhD Dr. Yeimy Rivera will receive the Ralph B. Baldwin Prize in Astrophysics and Space Sciences in an award ceremony and reception.\n\nThe Baldwin Prize is an award sponsored by a generous gift to the University by Dr. Ralph B. Baldwin. Applicants must show original and significant contributions to their field as measured in their scholarly publications.\n\nStudent applications are selected from the fields of Astronomy\, Atmospheric\, Oceanic\, and Space Science\; Chemistry\; Physics\; Geology\; and Mathematics as they pertain to space\, its bodies\, and relevant physical processes. The prize is awarded annually to a student who has received a University of Michigan Ph.D. during the previous year. A faculty committee comprised of representatives from the appropriate departments judges the packages submitted on the basis of the excellence of their research activities revealed in the student’s thesis and publications during their career.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:RNA Innovation Seminar: \"An Academic Approach to Oligonucleotide Therapeutics\"
DESCRIPTION:In-person: BSRC\, ABC seminar rooms\nLivestream: https://myumi.ch/9Py8b\n\nTalk title: “An Academic Approach to Oligonucleotide Therapeutics”\n\nKeywords: Oligonucleotides\, Chemical Modifications\, RNA\, Huntington’s Disease\n\nAbstract: Nucleic acids (NA) are becoming the third major pillar of therapeutic modalities on par with small molecules and biologics. The diversity of NA molecular mechanisms\, ranging from vaccines\, antisense\, short interfering RNA (siRNAs)\, and guide RNA for CRISPR gene editing systems\, enable impact on most aspects of cellular biology and thus human medicine. The foundation behind the recent oligonucleotides' clinical success is fundamental chemical innovations in RNA stability\, delivery\, and synthesis. \nOligonucleotides are informational drugs\; thus\, if chemical architectures supporting safe and efficient delivery to the tissue of interest are achieved\, they can be easily reprogrammed to modulate any gene expression on demand\, creating an opportunity for academic institutions to drive therapeutic innovation. However\, the process is limited by access to oligonucleotide chemistry and synthetic expertise. \nIn the first half of the talk\, I will share the experience of building and running Nucleic Acid Chemistry Center in a context of a large academic institution. The NACC provides access to therapeutic quality screening leads and large manufacturing of preclinical compounds for the academic community. The impact of the NACC and chemical innovation will be discussed in the context of two significant projects. First\, I will discuss the systematic structure-activity relationship study of chemical modifications to modulate RISC loading and cleavage. Screening 1200 siRNA variants allow for defining the chemical and thermodynamic rules for RISC assembly.\nA recent discovery from our lab has identified di-valent siRNA as a scaffold enabling potent and sustained modulation of gene expression in CNS of rodents and NHP with multiple compounds advancing clinic. Recently\, somatic repeat expansion has been identified as the driver behind many repeat-associated disorders. Indeed\, modulation of MSH3\, an essential gene involved in long repeat expansion\, blocked somatic repeat expansion in the Q111 model of Huntington's Disease. I would present how access to NACC allowed the development and validation of the clinical lead and define a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of HD.\n\n\nIf you are having trouble registering\, please contact Martina Jerant at mjerant@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Map ≠ Territory: Distortion and Power in Cartography
DESCRIPTION:More than strict representations of the world we inhabit\, maps are social constructions that embody the interests of their creators. Map ≠ Territory deconstructs maps that have been used to subjugate\, appropriate\, and oppress\, as well as the maps that counter that power through emancipation and advocacy. The exhibit critically engages with materials that span from the colonial era to modern-day Detroit.\n\nThe exhibit is available in the Clark Library (second floor Hatcher) during Hatcher Library hours.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Greek Manuscripts at the University of Michigan Library: A Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Splendors of the religious and artistic endeavors of Byzantine manuscript makers are on display in this exhibit of highlights from the Greek manuscript collection at the University of Michigan Library Special Collections Research Center. The collection — 110 codices (bound manuscripts) and fragments written in Greek from the fourth to the nineteenth centuries C.E. — is the largest such collection in the Western Hemisphere and provides unique insights into this era of achievement in textual transmission\, calligraphy\, illumination\, and bookbinding. The exhibit will be open during Audubon Room hours.\n\nA digital version of the exhibit will be available in the Audubon Room and online\, and allows visitors to explore other pages of the manuscripts on display and other manuscripts from the collection.\n\nThis exhibit celebrates two recent publications based on the collection: \n\n* Catalogue of Greek Manuscripts at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. Vol. 1.\, by Nadezhda Kavrus-Hoffmann (Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press\, 2021)\n\n* Tradition and Individuality: Bindings from the University of Michigan Greek Manuscript Collection\, by Julia Miller (Ann Arbor: The Legacy Press\, 2021)

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Empowering Teams and Building Trust Through Experiential Learning
DESCRIPTION:“Make your fun have meaning.” Through a variety of interactive problem-solving activities and outdoor experiences\, Adventure Leadership facilitators regularly help teams develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships to others within their organization’s environment. A significant part of this process relies heavily on creating a secure space for exploration—both physically and emotionally. In this workshop\, you will learn how to leverage Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle\, Tuckman’s Stages of Group Development\, and Project Adventure’s Challenge By Choice philosophy to build an internal locus of control within each member of any team and by empowering individuals to decide how they can best engage\, participate\, and contribute to group work. Learn to lead by instilling others with a sense of self-efficacy and develop trust while also increasing confidence\, testing endurance\, and practicing resilience.\nPresenter: Jessa Lytle (she/her/hers)\, Assistant Director of Adventure Leadership\, Student Life – Recreational Sports\nThis workshop is designed for master’s students\, doctoral students\, and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff\, please contact rack-prof-dev@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.\nRegistration is required at https://myumi.ch/RWVy5.\nWe want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events.
