SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Beautiful Minds: Neurodiversity\, Equity and Inclusion Conference
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the Beautiful Minds: Neurodiversity\, Equity and Inclusion Conference taking place on April 11\, 2024\, at the University of Michigan (in-person and live streamed).\n\nA full day of talks will highlight initiatives that focus on neurodiversity awareness and support. We are excited to welcome Dr. Lawrence Fung\, Director of the Stanford Neurodiversity Project and Dr. Jessica Riordan\, Dr. Sarah Timperley and Dr. Matthew Harrison\, Directors of the University of Melbourne Neurodiversity Project\, as they share pivotal work taking place at their institutions to support the neurodivergent communities. \n\nPlease visit the website for more information and to register.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Caswell Diabetes Institute Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:\"Regulating the master switch of adipogenesis\"\n\nSusanne Mandrup\, PhD\nProfessor\, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology\,\nUniversity of Southern Denmark\,\nDirector of the Center of Excellence in Functional Genomics and Tissue Plasticity and Center for Adipocyte Signaling\,\nChair of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology\, \nDanish Institute of Advanced Study\n\nAdipocytes develop from fibroblastic progenitor cells in the perivascular niche. Using cellular in vitro model systems\, we and others have shown that this differentiation is driven by a first wave of transcription factors that induce major chromatin remodeling as well as the expression of the second wave of adipogenic transcription factors that activates the adipocyte gene program. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is the main driver of the second wave and has been shown to be an obligate master regulator of adipogenesis in vitro as well as in vivo. The molecular mechanisms underlying this powerful role of PPARγ are currently not well understood\; however\, studies in our group indicate that unique chromatin remodeling properties of PPARγ plays a role. Furthermore\, our recent work shows that the PPARG locus is associated with a highly interconnected enhancer community that may allow its transcription to be dramatically induced during differentiation.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exile and the Mentor-student Relationship: A Force for Resistance and Decolonization
DESCRIPTION:This small exhibit features work in reproduction by Iraqi artists Hanaa Malallah and Mohammed Karim\, as well as an original painting by Karim. Both Malallah and Karim were significantly influenced by their mentors during and after their training in Iraq\, and continue to share their work and ideas with a new generation today.\n\nIn the United States\, Iraq is typically spoken about in a passive position: colonized\, under despotic rule\, occupied. Post-occupied. Through connections between mentors and students\, and students who became mentors to new students\, Iraqi artists have been a force for anti-colonialism\, claiming their heritage and its future for themselves.\n\nView the exhibit Monday-Friday in the Fine Arts Library\, Tappan Hall\, 855 S. University Ave.
