SUMMARY:Other:Dissertation Defense: Connectivity\, Organization\, and Network Coordination of the Drosophila Central Circadian Clock
DESCRIPTION:Daily rhythms in behavior and physiology are orchestrated by a network of circadian clock neurons. Neuronal connections within this network produce coherence and robustness in circadian timekeeping that are uncharacteristic of rhythms driven by isolated neurons or non-neuronal clocks. Using Drosophila as a simple yet conserved model system\, my thesis research aims to understand how clock neurons are physiologically connected and how their molecular oscillations are coordinated to produce coherent circadian rhythms.\nI have developed an experimental approach to address functional connectivity in the fly brain that combines chemogenetic excitation of neurons of interest with simultaneous monitoring of potential postsynaptic physiology with genetically encoded fluorescent sensors. Using this method\, I have mapped connections in the clock network mediated by the critical neuropeptide Pigment-Dispersing Factor. In addition\, I have performed ex vivo patch-clamp recordings of the fly clock neurons and provided the first electrophysiological characterization of the dorsal lateral neurons (LNds)\, which constitute the so-called Evening Oscillator of the clock network. I find that the neuronal activity of LNds is modulated by multiple fast neurotransmitters\, and that a group of dorsal clock neurons provides inhibitory synaptic input onto the LNds. Lastly\, using behavioral approaches\, I find that while GABAergic inhibition of the clock network functions to promote nighttime sleep\, glutamatergic inhibition of the clock network functions to promote wakefulness during the day.\nTo study how the molecular rhythms of clock neurons are coordinated\, I have genetically sped-up or slowed-down the molecular clock in specific subsets of clock neurons and determined how such manipulations affect the molecular oscillations in un-manipulated clock neuron classes and sleep/activity rhythms. I find that the various groups of clock neurons do not display uniform modes of coupling. Rather\, they display unique and complex coupling relationships that vary from group to group. In contrast to the widely accepted “Master Pacemaker” model that had dominated the field for more than a decade\, my results show that the clock network consists of multiple independent oscillators\, each of which is unified by its neuropeptide output. Finally\, I find that robust circadian rhythms require coherence of molecular clocks across a much larger proportion of the clock network than previously thought.\nCollectively\, my thesis research greatly advances our understanding of how the circadian clock neuron network is wired and how it is organized and coordinated.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Manuel Álvarez Bravo: Mexico's Poet of Light
DESCRIPTION:Manuel Álvarez Bravo spent nearly his entire career photographing his native Mexico. His style drew upon numerous international influences including\, among others\, Modernism and Surrealism. Although not strictly Surrealist\, many of Álvarez Bravo’s works manifest a similarly fantastical mood. One of the artist’s most arresting qualities is his ability to imbue scenes of everyday life with an otherworldly\, metaphysical power. The photographs in the exhibition\, from UMMA’s collections\, show the artist using motifs drawn from Mexican religious and indigenous works as well as plant forms\, in a Modernist approach to image making. UMMA docents will discuss these motifs and the artist’s use of light as a metaphor and revealer of life\, animating even the emptiest and most silent of Álvarez Bravo’s scenes.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CBSSM Seminar: Stephen Molldrem\, PhD Candidate\, American Culture (July 7)
DESCRIPTION:Stephen Molldrem\, PhD Candidate\, American Culture\n\nTitle: Collecting and Managing Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Data in Health Contexts: Bioethical Dilemmas from a Queer Historical Perspective\n\nAbstract: This talk\, drawn from dissertation research\, historicizes a number of regulatory changes governing the collection and management of sexual orientation and gender identity data in health contexts in the United States that have taken place since 2009. It focuses on a range of less-considered bioethical dilemmas that stem from the introduction of questions about sexual orientation and gender identity into the battery of demographic information collected in certified Electronic Health Record technologies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibit: The Many Faces and Figures of the Four Sons in the Passover Haggadah
DESCRIPTION:The Four Sons of the Passover Haggadah can now be viewed in their many versions at a unique exhibit at the Jean & Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies. The exhibit\, featuring 29 Haggadahs from the Irwin M. Alterman Haggadah Collection\, will be on display through July.  It includes Haggadahs of various shapes and sizes\, ancient and modern\, and in a number of different languages.\n\nThe Alterman collection was acquired by the University of Michigan Library last year with the help of the Frankel Center\, and is housed in the Special Collections Library of the Harlan Hatcher Graduate Library. It includes more than 1\,800 Haggadahs and is believed to be one of the largest Haggadah collections in the world. The unique compilation belonged to the late Irwin Alterman of West Bloomfield\, and was donated by his widow\, Marilyn McCall Alterman. \n\nPhoto courtesy of Luna Archey

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Abstraction: A Graphic Study
DESCRIPTION:Chicago-based artist Natasha Kohli uses abstract acrylic paintings to convey her messages of positivity and love by pouring that energy into each piece. As a self-taught artist\, Kohli is not bound to school taught rules but rather follows instinct and spontaneity. This also allows her to freely create her own processes. Moments of introspection and feelings of acceptance are what Kohli wishes to offer viewers of her work\, and these goals are inspired by her deep love of spirituality and Bikram yoga.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Concrete Ephemera: Street Art Captured
DESCRIPTION:David Zinn has been drawing on sidewalks for well over a decade\, using chalk and charcoal to create anamorphic 3D creatures which\, when viewed at a precise angle\, appear to exist in the real world. They often incorporate parts of the landscape and found objects\, such as cracks in concrete or leaves on the ground. He is inspired by a desire to place cheerful art underfoot in unexpected places and to embrace the temporary nature of all things. For this exhibit\, photographs of his street art installations will be on display. Zinn is a lifelong Michigander with a degree in creative writing from the U-M Residential College\, and he worked for many years as a children’s radio host on WCBN and Michigan Radio. Zinn will also give an artist demonstration alongside a musical performance by Magdalen Fossum in the University Hospital Courtyard on Thurs\, July 21\, 2016 from 12:00-1:00 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Landscapes Imagined: Oil on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Victoria Veedell creates atmospheric landscape paintings in oil on canvas\, capturing the fleeting moments of light in nature. The root of her work is an emotional reaction to the environment\, implying landscapes not necessarily seen but felt. Veedell lives and works in San Francisco\, and she is inspired by her global travels to places as far away as India and as near as Napa Valley\, California. Travel is an important component of her work as it allows her to observe and compare gradients of color\, light and atmosphere in different geographic locations.
