SUMMARY:Performance:Early Song Parodies of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:You may have heard of Weird Al and song parodies like “Eat It\,” but did you know that song parodies have been around for centuries?  \n\nSong parodies became popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries as methods of protest\, political campaigning\, and entertainment. Like changing the lyrics of “The Star Spangled Banner” to protest slavery\, or altering the words to the “Canadian Boat-Song” to celebrate the majesty of Michigan’s Pictured Rocks lakeshore. \n\nStudent researcher Aiden Armstrong has dug into archives and collections across campus to find sheet music\, songbooks\, and newspaper clippings featuring parody songs\, which he and vocalists from Martha Cook will perform. A student-led exhibit of historical material about student life at Martha Cook Building and a display of early sheet music will also be featured at this event. \n\nSpace is limited\, so please register in advance to secure your spot.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Department of Astronomy 2023-2024 Colloquium Series Presents:
DESCRIPTION:\"Environment Matters: How Stellar Emissions Control the Atmospheres of Exoplanets\"\n\nStellar emissions play a pivotal role in shaping the environments of exoplanets. As stars emit a wide spectrum of radiation and particles\, these emissions can profoundly influence the formation\, evolution\, composition\, and overall fate of a planet's atmosphere. This discussion bridges the gap between astrophysical phenomena and planetary science\, highlighting how solar/stellar winds\, eruptions\, and high-energy light contribute to atmospheric erosion\, induce chemical reactions\, and potentially drive the dynamics of weather and aurorae on exoplanets. Key to our exploration are systems like TRAPPIST-1\, which are challenging our understanding of atmospheric retention under intense stellar activity\, and the nearby Sun-like stars that will be targeted for habitable planets by the Habitable Worlds Observatory. In this talk\, we will explore recent observations and theoretical models that examine interaction mechanisms between stellar emissions and exoplanet atmospheres. We will also discuss several future space missions that will provide much needed additional stellar data. By understanding the complex dynamics of these critical yet often overlooked interactions\, we can better understand observed exoplanet demographics\, new JWST exoplanet spectra\, and predict which exoplanets might harbor conditions suitable for life as we know it.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:1984\, 40 Years After: Rediscovering a Pivotal Year in American Independent Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Students in FTVM 435 have spent this semester engaged in studying the films and documents of the Mavericks & Makers Collection with a keen eye toward those films made in 1984. Students will share documents found within the archival boxes and present poster boards designed to explore specific thematic concepts. Films include \"The Brother from Another Planet\,\" \"Choose Me\,\" \"Stop Making Sense\,\" \"Swing Shift\,\" and \"Secret Honor\" (filmed on the U-M Campus at the Martha Cook Building.)\n\nPoster session presentations will begin at 4:15 pm. Join us in the Special Collections Research Center on the 6th floor of the Hatcher Library.\n\nJoin us for this Third Thursdays at the Library series\, where curators share highlights from the library's vast collections.
