SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Flash Talk Take-Over | Inspiring Conservation: The Great Lakes Gardens at Matthaei Botanical Gardens
DESCRIPTION:The Great Lakes Gardens were established in 2013 to showcase a diverse array of natural communities and their associated plants that are native to Michigan and the Great Lakes region. The gardens serve as an important place for the general public and university community to learn about these natural communities and be inspired to care about their protection and stewardship. In addition to the educational and inspirational benefits to conservation\, the gardens play an important role in the *ex situ* conservation of numerous uncommon and rare native plants and the insect fauna that rely on them. Challenges to curating and caring for the Great Lakes Gardens include acquiring and establishing representative native plants\, maintaining adequate interpretive signage (especially plant labels)\, and controlling nonnative plants.\n\nMichael Kost serves as the associate curator at University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum and as a lecturer in the School for Environment and Sustainability. As a curator\, he focuses on natural areas stewardship planning and making data on living collections accessible for teaching\, learning\, and research. Before joining U-M\, he served as the lead ecologist and a senior conservation scientist with Michigan Natural Features Inventory at Michigan State University\, where he focused on documenting and describing natural communities and rare species\, as well as identifying key sites for biodiversity conservation and management. In this role\, he coauthored over 80 publications\, including three books on the natural communities of Michigan.\n\nKelsey Museum Flash Talks are 15-minute Zoom lectures by Kelsey curators\, staff members\, researchers\, graduate students\, or guests talking about their recent research or current projects. Each presentation is followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. Flash Talks are free and open to all visitors. They take place at noon on the first Friday of every month.\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/94263457873\n\nMeeting ID: 942 6345 7873\nPasscode: Kelsey

SUMMARY:Performance:Adam Ezra Group
DESCRIPTION:Spontaneous roots-based music that makes a connection\n \nTalk to any Adam Ezra Group fan around the country\, and they’ll tell you that each AEG performance is a one-of-a-kind\, community-driven experience\, propelled by the spirit of the people in front of the stage. For both fans and band members alike\, an AEG concert is a rally to live life with intensity and soak in the moments we share with one another. Hailing from Boston\, AEG has an unconventional approach that allows them to surge beyond their beloved hometown and emerge as one of the most uniquely powerful\, underground live music experiences in the country. While Ezra has played with an array of musicians over the years\, his current lineup has been creating a new buzz around the country\, as evidenced by their heavy tour schedule\, ballooning tickets sales\, and opening features with The Wallflowers\, Galactic\, John Oates\, The Wailers\, Southside Johnny\, Graham Parker\, and America. With no set lists\, every AEG show provides new and unique concert experiences that the band has been recording in real time and sharing with fans on thumbs drives as part of their “Live Sound Project” every night. Go to any Adam Ezra show\, solo or with the group\, and you will not only find fans who have traveled vast distances to be there\, but also doubtless a fair number of rabid followers accumulating as many AEG shows as possible throughout the year. You may have seen one of Adam’s 500 live online shows during the pandemic—now check him out live!\n\n\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4092/4093 for more detail.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:UN/EARTH
DESCRIPTION:Featuring work by Gina Gibson\, UN/EARTH explores science and art from a mile underground. Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead\, South Dakota\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation\, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan\, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology\, geology and engineering.\n\nGina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019\, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new\, the light and dark\, and the known and unknown.\n\nUN/EARTH was developed in collaboration with the U-M Department of Physics\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.
