SUMMARY:Exhibition:Featured Exhibits
DESCRIPTION:Stop by the Collections Case display in the museum’s main atrium\, behind the mastodons\, to see Nature’s Pharmacy.\n\nAugust 2023–July 2024\n\nPlants and fungi play a vital role in medicine due to the diversity of chemical defense mechanisms they evolved to safeguard them against pathogens\, herbivores\, and competitors. From its inception\, the U-M Herbarium has cataloged and described plants—both poisonous and beneficial to human health—and still serves that role today. See specimens of these plant and fungal “friends” and “foes” from the U-M Herbarium collection and learn about how the collection is used for drug discovery today.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Featured Exhibits
DESCRIPTION:Stop by the Student Showcase display in the museum’s main atrium\, behind the mastodons\, to see Molecules of Life.\n\nAugust 2023–July 2024\n\nMolecules of Life (Student Showcase)\nDiscover the connection between form and function as you explore the molecular building blocks of life. In the realm of biological macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids\, form determines function\, so visualizing the three-dimensional structures of molecules is key in researching the ‘tiny’ macromolecules that perform vital functions in our cells. In Biophysics 421\, under the guidance of Markos Koutmos\, Assistant Professor of Biophysics & Chemistry\, and Liz Tidwell\, PhD candidate in Biophysics\, students created models with digital modeling software and brought them to life via 3D printing. This exhibit showcases the 3D printed molecules\, scaled up to better reveal the structures that inform\, make\, break\, modify\, and move within the body.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Getting Lost
DESCRIPTION:Login here (no pre-registration needed): http://tinyurl.com/ZellWriters23\n\nZell Visiting Writers Series craft lectures are free and open to the public\, and will be offered both virtually (via Zoom) and in person (in The Robert Hayden Conference Room\, Angell Hall #3222). Seats are offered on a first come\, first served basis\; please arrive early to secure a spot. Please contact kimjulie@umich.edu with any questions or accommodation needs.\n\n\"In this talk\, called 'Getting Lost'\, we will talk about\, and maybe actually enter into\, the virtues and quandaries of not knowing what the hell we're doing.  We will talk some\, but we will probably also do some mapping and drawing and building and definitely some dreaming.\"\n\nRoss Gay is interested in joy.\n\nRoss Gay wants to understand joy.\n\nRoss Gay is curious about joy.\n\nRoss Gay studies joy.\n\nSomething like that.\n ~\n\nRoss Gay is the author of four books of poetry: *Against Which\; Bringing the Shovel Down\; Be Holding*\, winner of the PEN American Literary Jean Stein Award\; and *Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude*\, winner of the 2015 National Book Critics Circle Award and the 2016 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award. His first collection of essays\, *The Book of Delights*\, was released in 2019 and was a *New York Times *bestseller. His new collection of essays\, *Inciting Joy*\, was released by Algonquin in October of 2022.\n\nFor any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs\, please email kimjulie@umich.edu--we are eager to help ensure this event is inclusive to you. The building\, event space\, and restrooms are wheelchair accessible. Diaper changing tables are available in nearby restrooms. Gender-inclusive restrooms are available on the second floor of the Museum\, accessible via the stairs\, or in nearby Hatcher Graduate Library (Floors 3\, 4\, 5\, and 6). The Hatcher Library also offers a reflection room (4th Floor South Stacks)\, and a lactation room (Room 13W\, an anteroom to the basement women's staff restroom\, or Room 108B\, an anteroom of the first floor women's restroom). ASL interpreters and CART services at in-person events are available upon request\; please email kimjulie@umich.edu at least two weeks prior to the event\, whenever possible\, to allow time to arrange services.\n\nU-M employees with a U-M parking permit may use the Church Street Parking Structure (525 Church St.\, Ann Arbor) or the Thompson Parking Structure (500 Thompson St.\, Ann Arbor). There is limited metered street parking on State Street and South University Avenue.
