SUMMARY:Exhibition:Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan
DESCRIPTION:This exhibt runs through December 12\, 2021.\n\nMaking art can be a transformative experience. It helps us to confront and address some of the most pressing issues of our time. Art has the power to shift the way we see and understand the world around us\, and the worlds within us. Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan invites us to consider these qualities of art\, while also grappling with the carceral system and the many ways it affects the lives of all of us.\n\nCurrently there are approximately 2.2 million people incarcerated in the United States\, and in Michigan\, there are roughly 33\,000 residents currently serving time in the prison system. Working together with a coalition of more than a dozen organizations and Michigan State University units and departments\, Free Your Mind explores the inner worlds of incarcerated individuals and the fundamental issues that shape conversations around incarceration today. The exhibition centers on four key topics of inquiry: Michigan’s length of sentencing and overcrowding in prisons\; the impact of incarceration on women\; youth incarceration\; and the dangers of COVID-19.\n\nThe exhibition features artists\, poets\, and storytellers of great achievement. The majority of these artists are either currently or formerly incarcerated. Their works on view invite us to consider the role art-making plays in prisons as a liberating force\, and offer unique perspectives on the experience of incarceration. The works also invite us to approach the subject of incarceration with an open mind. Free Your Mind aims to cultivate a greater sense of empathy for those directly impacted by incarceration and an understanding that their growth as individuals is linked to the greater health of the society we all live in\, together.\n\nFree Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan is organized by the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University and curated by Steven L. Bridges\, Senior Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs\, and Janie Paul\, Senior Curator and Cofounder\, Annual Exhibitions of Art by Michigan Prisoners\, a project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan. Support for this exhibition is provided by the Eli and Edythe Broad endowed exhibitions fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Connections\, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition
DESCRIPTION:Connections\, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition features the work of artists in the Linkage Project\, a program of the Prison Creative Arts Project (PCAP) that affirms the creativity of adults who have returned from incarceration. The artists previously exhibited their work at PCAP's Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners at the University of Michigan. For some\, this exhibition at the MSU Broad Art Lab is the first opportunity to show their work since regaining their freedom. Art-making has helped these artists during the dark years of their incarceration\, and we hope the exhibition inspires visitors to learn more about how to support formerly incarcerated people reconnecting with their communities.\n\nMartín Vargas\, artist and curator of this exhibition\, invites visitors and supporters to not only connect with the artists through their work\, but also during select Art Lab studio hours\, which will feature several of the artists working in person.\n\nConnections\, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition is organized by the Linkage Project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University. The exhibition is curated by Martín Vargas\, Vanessa Mayesky\, Scott Tompkins\, Nico Slowik\, Kimiko Uyeda\, and Jenna VanFleteren.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Equity & Inclusion in Accessible Survey Design
DESCRIPTION:Equity & Inclusion in Accessible Survey Design\nWednesday\, December 8\, noon to 1:10pm ET via Zoom (link to come)\nSpeaker: Scott Crawford (Founder and Chief Vision Officer\, SoundRocket)\n\nAs we work to adapt research designs to make use of new technologies (web and smart devices)\, it is also important to consider how study design and survey design may impact those who rely on assistive technology. Sections 508 (covering use of accessible information and communication technology) and 501(addressing reasonable accommodation) of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 compliance standards have been around for a long time—but the survey research industry has often taken the path providing reasonable (non-technological) accommodations for study participants. These often involve alternate modes of data collection\, but rarely provide a truly equitable solution for study participation. If a web-based survey is not compliant with assistive technologies\, the participant may be offered the option of completing a survey with an interviewer. Survey methodologists know well that introducing a live human interaction may change how participants respond—especially if the study involves sensitive topics. Imagine a workplace survey on Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion where a sight-impaired employee is asked to answer questions about how they are treated in their workplace\, but they are required to answer these questions through an interviewer\, and not privately via a website. Not only is this request not equitable for the employee (fully sighted employees get to respond more privately)\, it can also bias the results if the participant is not honest about the struggle for fear of receiving backlash from their employer if the interviewer passed along their frustrations. In the act of being denied equitable participation\, future decisions will then be made on potentially faulty results about the experience of such people.\n \nIn this presentation\, I will focus on developing an equitable research design\, partially through considering the overall study—not just the technology itself. But we will also share experiences in the development of a highly accessible web-based survey that is compliant with screen reading technology (screen readers\, mouse input grids\, voice\, keyboard navigation\, etc.). I will present experimental\, anecdotal\, and descriptive experiences with accessible web-based surveys and research designs in higher education student\, faculty\, and staff surveys conducted on the topic of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion. Our results will be directly relevant for inclusion and equity in these settings as well as some surprising unintended positive consequences of some of these design decisions. Lastly\, I will also share some next steps for where the field may go in continuing to improve in these areas.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Quantification of Biological Aging
DESCRIPTION:The Evolution and Human Adaptation Program (EHAP) at the University of Michigan is proud to present our fall 2021 speaker series:\n\nABSTRACT: \nAging involves progressive accumulation of cellular-level changes that drive loss of resilience and increased vulnerability in tissues and organ systems\, leading to disease\, disability\, and death. The geroscience hypothesis proposes that intervention to slow or reverse accumulation of these changes can delay or prevent chronic disease and extend healthy lifespan. Animal experiments establish proof of concept for geroscience. Now\, new methods to quantify the progress and pace of biological aging are opening frontiers for human translation. Quantifications of biological aging have potential to advance understanding of how genes and environments shape health across the lifespan and to guide efforts devise interventions that modify processes of aging with the goal of preventing disease. The talk will review progress in the field\, introduce a new method to quantify the pace of biological aging from DNA methylation\, DunedinPACE\, and present results from the CALERIE randomized controlled trial\, which tested effects of 2 years of calorie restriction in healthy\, non-obese humans. Preprints related to the talk are available at https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.30.21262858v1\; and https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.09.21.21263912v1)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Special Interdisciplinary QC/CM Seminar | Emergent Phenomena and Broken Symmetries: One-dimensional Objects and their Dot/Cross Products 
DESCRIPTION:Emergent physical phenomena and broken symmetries can be linked through one-dimensional objects and their dot or cross products. Eight kinds of one-dimensional (1D) objects (four\; vector-like\, the other four\; director-like) and their dot/cross products are defined in terms of symmetry. The dot or products form certain mathematical groups. Those 1D objects are associated with characteristic physical phenomena\, and when a 3D system has identical or lower (but not higher) symmetries than an 1D object with particular phenomena\, the 3D system can exhibit the phenomena. Using this straightforward concept\, we can understand and also predict numerous new emergent phenomena in known materials or new complex materials for desired phenomena. \n
