SUMMARY:Other:Bike Repair Hours 
DESCRIPTION:Does your bike need a tune-up? Need help fixing a flat or getting your gears to shift smoothly? \nCome to the FREE Wolverines on Wheels Bike Repair Hours on Wednesdays from 4-6p and Fridays from 3:30-5p.\nSign up for a 30-minute slot and your bike to the Duderstadt Fabrication Underground (B430-Lower Level) for peer-to-peer bike repair and maintenance. Our volunteers can help you diagnosis bike problems\, guide you through repairs\, and provide the tools & materials needed to get you back to riding. \nThis is NOT a drop-off service: ALL participants are expected to stay and participate in repairs to learn basic bike maintenance with the support of our volunteers. Expect to get your hands dirty and leave feeling more confident in your skills!\nOnly one bike per participant. You may sign up for multiple slots in a row but please be mindful of sharing the opportunity with other campus riders. Walk-ins are welcome but come secondary to sign-ups. \nIf you are interested in becoming a volunteer for our new program\, please email wolverinesonwheels-admin@umich.edu\nThe Duderstadt Fabrication Underground's Bike Repair rack is available for use during all operation hours (M-F 12-6p). WoW Volunteers will only be there at our dedicated support hours with additional materials (tire patches\, grease\, etc). \nhttps://calendly.com/wolverinesonwheels-admin-umich/30min

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CCMB/DCMB Weekly Seminar Series featuring Jack Van Horn\, PhD (Professor of Psychology and Data Science University of Virginia)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nHow does information move through the brain\, and could the physical shape of a system be just as important as its connections? In this lecture\, I will explore a new way of thinking about neural networks—where signals travel as waves across curved surfaces\, and learning happens by slowly reshaping the space through which those waves flow. Using networks inspired by cells arranged as 3D “digital neural organoids”\, I will illustrate how activity spreads across layered\, spherical networks\, forming wavefronts\, spirals\, and rhythmic patterns. These waves are not just visual curiosities: their timing\, direction\, and stability determine how well information reaches key regions of the system. By modulating the positions of individual nodes\, the network trains itself\, focusing signals inward\, synchronizing their arrival\, and reducing noise—much like adjusting the shape of a lens to bring an image into view. The lecture will include animated visualizations of nested organoid surfaces changing over time\, directing signals toward a central core\, and sometimes swirling into persistent spatial patterns that can store information. No particularly advanced mathematics is required. Instead\, I hope to build intuition around familiar ideas—waves\, flow\, and geometry—to show how learning and computation might emerge from space itself.  This fresh perspective opens new ways to think about brain development\, artificial intelligence\, and the future of biologically inspired computing.
