SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Informational Roots of Support for Right-Wing Populists: Evidence from Argentina (with Daron Acemoglu\, Guillermo Cruces\, Martin Fiszbein\, Gaston Garcia Zavaleta and Carlos Molina)
DESCRIPTION:Support for populist and authoritarian regimes is rising worldwide\, despite evidence that they tend to underperform economically. To examine the role of (mis)perceptions of regime performance as drivers of political attitudes\, we conducted a survey experi- ment during Argentina’s 2023 presidential elections. At baseline\, optimistic beliefs about the performance of populist and non-democratic regimes were widespread\, and correlated with support for these regimes. When exposed to randomly assigned informational treat- ments challenging optimistic views about right-wing populism or autocracies\, individuals significantly adjusted their beliefs and their support for candidates associated with such regimes. We explore the impact of different information sources\, showing that scientific sources and newspapers are more influential than social media. Although individuals ap- pear to adjust their beliefs and attitudes in response to credible information\, we find that information countering people’s beliefs reduces their demand for additional information on regime performance\, consistent with an important role for motivated reasoning.

SUMMARY:Presentation:James A. Kelly Learning Levers Prize Final Showcase
DESCRIPTION:The James A. Kelly Learning Lever Prize is a competition designed to challenge University of Michigan students to invent digital tools with the potential to significantly improve student learning. This prize encourages a culture of innovation in education and rewards the creative\, interdisciplinary work of University of Michigan students.\n\nSee five student teams pitch educational technology innovations to improve preK-12 students' learning. Students will pitch to a panel of expert judges for the chance to win up to $10\,000 to support their innovations.\n\nTo view previous year's final pitches or learn more about the program\, go to: https://marsal.umich.edu/learning-levers

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Learning from the Heterogeneity at the Electrode-Electrolyte Interface via Electrochemical Correlative Microscopy
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the structure-reactivity relationship at electrochemical interfaces is central to unraveling nearly all electrochemical processes\, including electrocatalysis and batteries. However\, these interfaces are typically structurally heterogeneous\, which impedes interpreting the structure-activity relationships using conventional ensemble electrochemical measurements. In this presentation\, I will discuss our efforts toward developing and applying electroanalytical techniques—such as scanning electrochemical probe microscopy and correlative microscopy—to gain new knowledge from electrochemical interfacial heterogeneity. First\, I will discuss our efforts towards simultaneous probing of local activity and product selectivity in electrocatalytic reactions via a hybrid scanning electrochemical probe microscopy approach\, equivalent to a miniature rotating ring disk electrode. Combined with correlative electron microscopy\, this approach enables simultaneous mapping of the facet-dependent activity and selectivity in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on polycrystalline Au and Pt. In the second example\, I will discuss the approach to measure site-specific nucleation kinetics and energetics in electrodeposition\, which plays an important role in the cyclability of batteries that use metal anodes. Finally\, the application of controlled electrodeposition towards accelerated materials discovery will be discussed.
