SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Water@Michigan Coffee Talk: Future Proofing the Great Lakes Compact and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:This Coffee Talk will bring together scholars and practitioners to explore the future of the Great Lakes Compact and the broader governance systems that support transboundary freshwater management in an era of accelerating climate\, ecological\, and social change. As pressures on water resources intensify—from shifting precipitation patterns and lake level variability to growing demands from communities\, agriculture\, industry\, and ecosystems—the resilience of existing governance frameworks is increasingly being tested.\n\nThe conversation will examine how institutions such as the Great Lakes Compact\, along with binational and regional organizations\, can be “future-proofed” to remain adaptive\, equitable\, and scientifically informed under deep uncertainty. Together\, the panel will reflect on what it means to design water governance systems that are not only robust in the present\, but flexible enough to endure—and evolve with—the uncertainties of the future Great Lakes region and beyond. \n\nYou can register for the Coffee Talk on the Water@Michigan Coffee Talks webpage: https://graham.umich.edu/wateratmichigan/coffee-talks\n\nAbout the speakers: \nModerator: Andrew Gronewold\, Associate Professor SEAS and PI for the Global Center for Climate Change and Transboundary Waters\nPanelists: David Naftzger\, Executive Director\, Great Lakes Governors and Premiers\; Peter Johnson\, Deputy Director\, Great Lakes Governors and Premiers\; Marc Gaden\, Adjunct Professor\, SEAS and Executive Secretary\, Great Lakes Fishery Commission and Vianey Rueda\, PhD Candidate\, SEAS

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Hierarchical block copolymers for theranostic nanomedicine
DESCRIPTION:Nanoparticles derived from amphiphilic hybrid block copolymers (HBCs) have been recognized as promising candidates for a range of applications\, including bioimaging\, therapeutic delivery\, and diagnostics. Comprised of chemically distinct blocks with differing architectures\, these unique polymer frameworks exhibit properties that surpass those of conventional amphiphilic polymers. However\, a lack of synthetic feasibility has hindered the widespread adoption of amphiphilic HBCs due to challenges posed by the distinct solubility of the blocks\, the steric effects of the branched block on copolymerization and purification of end products\, and the difficulty of preparing amphiphilic HBCs.Herein\, we report the use of aqueous reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization to form amphiphilic HBCs and assess their potential as biomaterials for theranostic applications. Comprised of chemically distinct blocks with differing architectures (i.e.\, dendritic and grafted/linear)\, these unique polymer frameworks were strategically designed to self-assemble into nanoparticles ideal for simultaneous bioimaging and therapy. The synthesis\, physicochemical characterization\, and in vitro cell viability of a library of dendritic HBCs and their resulting nanoparticles are discussed. Microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS)analyses support the formation of aqueous dispersions\, yielding polymeric nanoparticles with sizes < 120 nm. The resulting polymer hybrids and their nanoparticles exhibited minimal cell toxicity and dual imaging and therapeutic potential. Results indicate that these polymers and their nanoparticles exhibit properties surpassing those of conventional amphiphilic polymers. This study exemplifies the effect of polymer topology on nanomaterial properties and expands the design space of RAFT polymerization in biomedical research.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Substitution and Income Effects of Labor Income Taxation
DESCRIPTION:The elasticity of taxable income (ETI) parameter is a key quantity in empirical analysis of tax policy and labor supply. We examine when a commonly applied class of ETI estimands can be used to learn about individuals’ ETI parameters and their (un)compensated elasticities of labor supply. We begin by providing necessary and sufficient conditions for these estimands to be given a causal interpretation as a positively weighted average of heterogeneous ETI parameters. We then apply these results to empirically analyze a reform of the Norwegian tax system that reduced the marginal tax rates on middle and high incomes. The estimated ETI parameters increase steadily with income\, meaning high-income individuals are more responsive to tax changes than middle-income individuals. Next\, we show how (un)compensated elasticities of labor supply can be bounded directly from the ETI estimands\, or point identified by combining these estimands with estimates of earnings responses to lottery winnings. The results suggest an (un)compensated elasticity of 0.1 (0.0) for middle-income individuals. The (un)compensated elasticity estimates increase steadily with income to around 0.45 (0.3) for high-income individuals. These findings imply a substantial excess burden of taxation\, and that reducing top-income tax rates would increase tax revenue. Our findings are also informative about how the intertemporal elasticity of substitution and the Frisch elasticity vary across the income distribution.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCEE Distinguished Lecture. Europe's Coalition of the Willing\, Ukraine\, and the Future of NATO
DESCRIPTION:What is Europe’s strategic future as transatlantic ties unravel? What are its options as US priorities and capabilities change over in a world in which the distribution of power is changing rapidly? Europe has to chart its new course beyond the immediate impact of the second Trump presidency.\n\nFrançois Heisbourg is a senior advisor on Europe of the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) and special adviser of the Paris-based Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique (FRS). He has served in government (French mission to the UN in New York\, policy planning at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs\, international security adviser to the Minister of Defense)\, industry (Thomson-CSF\, today’s Thales\; Matra\, now in Airbus)\, academia (professor of the world politics course at Sciences-Po Paris)\, and the think-tank world (as director of the IISS and subsequently the FRS). He has sat on blue-ribbon bodies\, notably the French government’s White Paper on terrorism (2006) and the Defense and National Security White Papers (under President Sarkozy in 2007-2018 and President Hollande in 2012-2013)\; the International Commission on Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament\; and the International Commission on the Balkans. He chaired the council of the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP) from 1998 to 2018\, and of the IISS (2001-2018)\, and was a Richard von Weizsäcker Fellow at the Bosch Academy in Berlin (2015-2017). He dealt with defense and national security issues as part of Emmanuel Macron’s first presidential campaign (2016-17).Since the beginning of 2022\, he has been focusing on French and European military assistance to Ukraine.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at gosiak@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Exploring the Mind | Growing Up Has Changed: How the Path to Adulthood Has Shifted Across Generations
DESCRIPTION:The path from adolescence to adulthood has changed dramatically over the past several decades. Compared with earlier generations\, today young adults spend more time in school\, enter careers later\, form long-term romantic partnerships in different ways\, delay marriage and parenthood\, and move in and out of adult roles with less predictability. These changes raise important questions: What does it mean to “grow up” today? Are young people simply taking longer to become adults\, or has the very nature of adulthood changed? In this talk\, I provide an overview of the modern transition to adulthood — what it is\, why it matters\, and how it has evolved across recent generations. I examine changes in education\, work\, relationships\, parenthood\, and health-related behaviors such as substance use. Rather than viewing young adulthood as a fixed stage that looks the same across time\, I consider how historical circumstances shape the opportunities\, challenges\, and expectations young people face. The goal is to better understand not only today’s young adults\, but also the changing social landscape in which each generation comes of age.\n\nAbout the speaker: Justin Jager is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology and Associate Research Professor at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. As a developmental psychologist\, he studies how young people grow into adulthood and how that process has changed across generations. His research looks at the many parts of life that shape this transition\, including family\, friends\, school\, work\, romantic relationships\, parenthood\, and health-related behaviors such as substance use. He is especially interested in how social and historical changes alter the opportunities\, expectations\, and challenges young people face as they move toward independence. By studying adolescence and young adulthood in its social and historical context\, his work helps shed light on what it means to “grow up” in a changing world.
