SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CoderSpace with Armand Burks and Erin Ware
DESCRIPTION:Do you write code for research or class? Do you sometimes get stuck? Are you just starting to learn how to code? Or\, do you seek a social environment shared with fellow programmers? Writing code\, or “programming\,” can be a fun but also challenging and lonely enterprise. Hosted by members of the U-M community\, our CoderSpaces are there for you to meet other coders\, so you can connect and learn from your coder peers. Participation is open to anyone interested in writing code for computational social science\, data science\, statistics\, social science method\, engineering\, etc.\, be they students\, staff\, or faculty. In our CoderSpaces\, we seek to build a casual\, productive and inclusive environment where everyone is welcome regardless of their skill or level of expertise\, to share experiences and knowledge\, assist each other in data-intensive projects\, and enjoy peer-programming opportunities. We hope that participants will actively help each other as able. To participate\, bring a laptop and some coding work\, or just come and hang out\, socialize\, and assist others. Our hosts look forward to hacking with you!\n\nDr. Burks is a Research Data Scientist in Advanced Research Computing Technology Services (ARC-TS) and the School of Information. He specializes in evolutionary computation (genetic programming)\, and has professional experience in software development and writing cloud analytics. Dr. Burks is available to assist in general programming using C++\, Java\, and Python\, bash commands/scripting\, automation of tasks such as data parsing\, transformation/conversion\, workflow automation\, etc.\, HPC job creation/submission\, version control in git\, and other related topics.\n\nDr. Ware is an Assistant Professor of Research in the Population\, Neurodevelopment\, and Genetics group at ISR\, a self-taught HPC user\, and an occasional instructor in the School of Information. Her training has been in genetic epidemiology\, public health\, and statistics using SAS (local)\, R (server)\, Linux (on GreatLakes\, MBNI\, and other personal servers)\, and batch scripting (SGE\, PBS\, Slurm). Dr. Ware has taught SAS (data management and statistical modeling)\, introductory statistics using R\, and math methods for data scientists. She is experienced in teaching high performance computing to individuals with limited programming background.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:How We Can Find Peace in This Crazy World
DESCRIPTION:Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy has been clinically proven to be at least as effective as drugs for depression - in other words\, it works! And it's not just for depression\; it also works for people who are not depressed but who are struggling to keep up with the constant demands of this frantic world.\nIt promotes the kind of happiness and peace that gets into our bones. Mindfulness reveals a set of simple yet powerful practices that help break the cycle of anxiety\, stress\, unhappiness\, and exhaustion.\nWe're going to be using the book \"Mindfulness: An Eight-Week Plan for Finding Peace in a Frantic World\" by Mark Williams and Danny Pennman.\nThis will be a six-week program. The class will be partly lecture\, but you can look forward to lively discussions.\nMike Murray\, a Clinical Psychologist\, has taught mindfulness classes for OLLI for over ten years. The Study Group for those 50 and over is held Wednesdays February 5 through March 11.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Uncommon Plants from Our Unique Places. Images of the Great Lakes Gardens
DESCRIPTION:With its plants and habitats\, the Great Lakes Gardens at the University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens celebrate the natural history of the region. As part of the winter 2020 LSA theme semester\, the exhibition \"Uncommon Plants\" offers a rare glimpse of the diverse plant life and ecosystems of the Great Lakes through the lens of photographer Laura Mueller. Mueller's photos capture a side of the region beyond water to show how plants play an integral role in the complex web of life in and around the Great Lakes.
