SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Promoting Civic Discourse - Democratic and Republican politicians on bridging the political divide
DESCRIPTION:Former Michigan State Senators Tonya Schuitmaker and Rebekah Warren are the leads at Michiganders for Civic Resilience (MCR)\, which is dedicated to fostering a vibrant democracy founded on trust\, dialogue\, and accountability. Its mission is \"to bridge the divides of political polarization\, restore civil discourse\, and uphold the integrity of U.S. elections.\"\n\nThe politicians from across the aisle will discuss cross-partisan collaboration and how it can play a vital role in promoting unity\, understanding\, and constructive dialogue\, ultimately benefiting the public by facilitating more inclusive and effective governance. The discussion also will include former chairs of the state Republican and Democratic parties\, Rusty Hills and Mark Brewer\, respectively.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student AIM Seminar: Spatial Pattern Formation in Eco-Evolutionary Games with Environment-Driven Motion
DESCRIPTION:The sustainable management of common resources often leads to a social dilemma known as the tragedy of the commons: individuals benefit from rapid extraction of resources\, while communities as a whole benefit from more sustainable extraction strategies. In this talk\, we explore a PDE model of evolutionary game theory with environmental feedback\, describing how the spatial distribution of resource extraction strategies and environmental resources evolve due to reaction terms describing eco-evolutionary game-theoretic dynamics and spatial terms describing diffusion of environmental resources and directed motion of resource harvesters towards regions of greater environmental quality. Through linear stability\, we show that this biased motion towards higher-quality environments can lead to spatial patterns in the distribution of extraction strategies\, creating local regions with improved environmental quality and increase payoff for resource extractors. However\, by measuring the average payoff and environmental quality across the spatial domain\, we see that this pattern-forming mechanism can actually decrease the overall success of the population relative to the equilibrium outcome in the absence of spatial motion. This suggests that environmental-driven motion can produce a spatial social dilemma\, in which biased motion towards more beneficial regions can produce emergent patterns featuring a worse overall environment for the population.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Uncertain Games
DESCRIPTION:This work provides a unified framework for exploring games. In existing literature\, strategies of players are typically assigned scalar values\, and the concept of Nash equilibrium is used to identify compatible strategies. However\, this approach lacks the internal structure of a player\, thereby failing to accurately model observed behaviors in reality. To address this limitation\, we propose to characterize players by their learning algorithms\, and as their estimations intrinsically induce a distribution over strategies\, we introduced the notion of equilibrium in terms of characterizing the recurrent behaviors of the learning algorithms. This approach allows for a more nuanced understanding of players\, and brings the focus to the challenge of learning that players face. While our explorations in discrete games\, mean-field games\, and reinforcement learning demonstrate the framework's broad applicability\, they also set the stage for future research aimed at specific applications. This is a joint work with Erhan Bayraktar.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Water@Michigan March Coffee Talk
DESCRIPTION:Talk Description: \n In the era of AI\, self-driving cars\, digital assistants\, and other “smart” things\, can the same level of autonomy and intelligence be embedded in water systems? During this coffee talk\, we will discuss what role -- if any -- these technologies should play in solving some of our greatest water challenges\, such as floods and droughts. We’ll show how to build a self-driving water system from scratch\, and we will discuss promising case studies across our region\, and beyond. Finally\, we’ll address risks\, challenges\, and nuances of bringing new tech to water management.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nBranko Kerkez\, Arthur F. Thurnau Associate Professor and Associate Department Chair for Research\n\nBranko Kerkez is an Arthur F. Thurnau associate professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at U-M. His research interests include water\, data\, and sensors. Branko is driven by the desire to both rationalize water management decisions\, and put tools into the hands of community members to allow them to contribute to those decisions. The National Academy of Engineering recognized his work in smart water systems in 2018 as a Gilbreth Lecturer. Branko’s Digital Water Lab is untangling the role of tech in water…one sensor at a time! He earned his PhD in 2012 from the University of California\, Berkeley in Civil and Environmental Engineering.\n\nAbout Water@Michigan Coffee Talks: \nCoffee Talks provide a monthly opportunity during the academic year to network\, learn about pressing and emerging water-related issues\, hear about ongoing water-related research\, and meet new partners. In 2024/25\, Water@Michigan Coffee Talks will explore the water-climate nexus.\n\nYou can register for this talk here: https://graham.umich.edu/wateratmichigan/coffee-talks

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Foundations of Community Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Foundations of Community Engagement is an interactive workshop that introduces principles and practices of equitable\, ethical community engagement. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of what the term “community engagement” means\, as well as the many forms it might take - from research and course-based projects to philanthropy\, activism\, policy\, and direct service. Across all these forms of engagement\, participants will learn concepts and actions that promote equitable partnerships\, center community-defined priorities\, and disrupt entrenched power dynamics between universities and community members. Participants will also discuss real-world community engagement scenarios that ask them to apply what they’ve learned in the workshop to various situations.\n\n**This workshop is an updated version of Ginsberg’s long-standing Entering\, Engaging\, and Exiting (E3) session. If you’ve attended that session in the past\, you’ll gain additional knowledge from this session.**\n\nRegister for a Session Here: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/16509

DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 19\, 2025\n5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.\nConor O’Neill’s Traditional Irish Pub\, 318 S. Main St.\, Ann Arbor\n\nValentine's day has come and gone and pretty soon we will be celebrating the vernal equinox. Spring is springing and love is in the air. But what did that look like for Neanderthals and Homo sapiens? What did interbreeding between our early ancestors look like?\n\nJoin data scientist\, curator and spermatologist Dr. Molly Hirst and geneticist Dr. Susanna Gutierrez from the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, to explore the history behind this prehistoric pairing. Learn how studying contemporary hybridization in our distant primate relatives can shed light on prehistoric human evolution.\n\nHors d’oeuvres will be served at 5:30 p.m.\, and the program begins at 6:00 p.m.\nSeating is limited—come early.\n\nFree and open to the public. This Science Café is recommended for mature audiences.\n\nUMMNH would like to thank Conor O’Neill’s for 15+ years of support for our Science Cafés\, as well as the University of Michigan Chapter of Sigma Xi\, the Scientific Research Honor Society\, for sponsoring this event.
