SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Working Alongside Increasingly Capable AI
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This will be a very informal talk! We'll start with a high-level overview of how modern LLM systems like Codex and ChatGPT work -- sequence models\, transformers\, pre-training\, post-training\, and agentic tool-use harnesses which let today's models take actions\, write code\, and otherwise interact with their environments.\n\nThen I'll share some of my personal perspective working at an AI lab alongside increasingly-capable AI systems. I'm not a mathematician (anymore!)\, but I work in a highly-technical domain\, and hopefully some of the things I say will resonate or be interesting for you in your own work.\n\nContact:  Karen Smith

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Broc Kokesh
DESCRIPTION:Death assemblages—the skeletal remains of organisms preserved in modern sediments—provide a unique window into ecological and environmental change across timescales that often exceed direct observation. Long used by paleontologists to investigate taphonomic processes\, these subfossil accumulations are increasingly recognized as ecological archives with applications to contemporary conservation and environmental management. In this seminar\, I explore how death assemblages from benthic shellfish can be used to address questions spanning paleoecology\, community ecology\, and conservation biology. Drawing on collaborations with public biomonitoring programs\, I show how the dead record can help evaluate whether skeletal remains faithfully capture community structure\, identify responses to biological invasions and other anthropogenic stressors\, and reveal how environmental conditions influence patterns of skeletal accumulation and preservation. I also discuss emerging work on feedbacks between shell-rich sediments and living communities\, highlighting how taphonomic processes can actively shape ecological habitats rather than merely record them. Together\, these examples illustrate how death assemblages serve not only as records of the past\, but also as powerful tools for understanding and managing environmental change in the present and future.

SUMMARY:Rally / Mass Meeting:Dine to Donate @ Pita Way to support Autistic Students @ UM
DESCRIPTION:The Autism Spectrum Club (ASC) is hosting its first ever fundraiser with Pita Way (primarily because it is our usual hotspot for dinner events for this group). Visit Pita Way in Downtown Ann Arbor between 4-9pm\, mention this flyer/the ASC/this fundraiser\, and Pita Way will donate 20% of your sales to the ASC.\nThe purpose of this organization is intended to be a safe space strictly for Autistic people that is managed entirely by Autistic people. Its goals are to give us rest from the stress of life\, provide social interaction in a way that fits us as Autistic people\, give assistance navigating the issues of life\, and give kindness and support to one another when we struggle. It also provides informational events for non-autistic individuals and occasionally hosts advocacy based opportunities for students and faculty alike.\nFunds will be used to support members through fun and casual events\, informational events that may require or benefit from financial support (ie. food based advertising\, demonstrations)\, conferences and symposiums supporting autistic or otherwise disabled individuals\, or to support the Disability Mentorship Program (which the ASC is a primary founder of). \nIf you are interested in engaging further with the ASC\, please feel free to email me at ASCUmich@gmail.com.
