SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka
DESCRIPTION:The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky)\, ritual cloths (rushnyky)\, and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death\, punctuating important life events in between. A variety of embroidery patterns are used throughout Ukraine\; some stitches are universally known\, while others are region-specific. Ukrainian embroidered clothing is now officially celebrated with an annual Vyshyvanka Day observed throughout the world in May.\n\nTo see photos and read more about exhibited items\, visit https://myumi.ch/AZedA\n   \n   The embroideries and textiles exhibited are from the private collections of Arnie Klein\, Solomia Soroka\, Katerina Sirinyok-Dolgaryova\, and from the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum located in Hamtramck\, Michigan.\n   \n   The exhibit opens on September 5\, 2024\, in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor. Contact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\n*The exhibition is cosponsored by the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum*.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DHG Faculty Candidate Seminar | 12/19/24 | Kahn Auditorium 9am
DESCRIPTION:Juan Manuel Vazquez\, PhD\nNIA K99/R00 Postdoctoral Fellow\nNSF Postdoctoral Research Fellow\nUniversity of California\, Berkeley\n\nPlease join us at his seminar “Extensive Structural Variation and Longevity-Associated Adaptations in Nearctic Myotis Bats” on Thursday\, December 19th\, 2024\, at 9:00 am in the Kahn Auditorium – BSRB. There will be a reception with light refreshments to follow in the ABC seminar rooms.\n\nABSRACT\nThe genus Myotis is one of the largest clades of bats\, and exhibits some of the most extreme variation in lifespans among mammals. To study the evolution of longevity-associated traits\, we generated primary cell lines for over 28 species of bats\, and assembled near-complete diploid genome assemblies for 8 Myotis species. Using genome-wide screens of positive selection\, analyses of structural variation\, and functional experiments in primary cell lines\, we identify new patterns of adaptation contributing to longevity\, cancer resistance\, and viral interactions in bats. We find that Myotis bats have some of the most significant variation in cancer risk across mammals and demonstrate a unique DNA damage response in primary cells of the long-lived M. lucifugus. We also find evidence of extensive structural variation both within and between species\, including in genes central to stress response and viral immunity. Together\, our results demonstrate how genomics and primary cells derived from diverse taxa uncover the molecular bases of extreme adaptations in non-model organisms.
