SUMMARY:Exhibition:Curriculum / Collection
DESCRIPTION:In Curriculum / Collection\, an incredible variety of University of Michigan courses take material form. Collected for each course are objects that address the nature of materiality\, time\, and human interaction in relation to our environments\, our wars\, our relationships\, and our eccentricities. \n \nWorking in collaboration with University faculty\, the works in this exhibition were selected for their capacity to provoke engagement with the guiding questions and themes of their specific courses\, while also offering students inspiration for research and art projects in their areas of study. The exhibition demonstrates some of the diverse and creative ways art plays a central role in learning across the disciplines. It also asks us to consider what we can learn from art objects across an infinite variety of specialties and subject matter.\n \nAs classes begin in Fall of 2021\, you’ll be able to use these pages to explore the collections designed for each course\, dive into the works themselves\, and hear from the professors and students about how they are engaging with art and objects in new ways. Who knows\, maybe you’ll learn something surprising along the way\, too.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, and the Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund\, and the Oakriver Foundation.\n

SUMMARY:Presentation:Homology of Hurwitz spaces via Fox-Neuwirth cells
DESCRIPTION:Hurwitz spaces\, certain finite covers of unordered configuration spaces of the plane\, and their generalizations play a fundamental role in the recent flurry of remarkable work connecting topology and number theory\, such as Ellenberg-Venkatesh-Westerland\, Ellenberg-Tran-Westerland\, Liu-Wood-Zureick-Brown\, and Ellenberg-Landesman. In this talk\, we will explain the approach of Ellenberg-Tran-Westerland to produce an asymptotic bound on the homology of Hurwitz spaces\, starting with integrating the classical Fox-Neuwirth stratification of configuration spaces into the twisted setting. Time permitting\, we will explore ways to expand this framework to study the homology of generalized Hurwitz spaces over an arbitrary curve\, which has potential applications in number theory.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LSI SciComm Speaker Series: Sophie Bushwick
DESCRIPTION:When the AI chatbot ChatGPT went public just over a year ago\, interest in generative artificial intelligence exploded. Enthusiasts touted AI's ability to turn anyone into a writer or an artist\, to make workers more efficient and companies richer—that is\, if it didn't become powerful enough to destroy humanity altogether. Skeptics pointed out that AI language models spout falsehoods and facts with equal confidence\, can churn out disinformation too quickly for fact-checkers to keep up\, and threaten writers' jobs and livelihoods.\n \nIn science communication\, where accuracy and understanding are priorities\, is there any place for AI tools? Sophie Bushwick has been covering this technology through the generative AI boom\, exploring how artificial intelligence models work and how they're impacting a variety of fields\, including medicine and education. She will draw on that experience to discuss AI's strengths and flaws\, and what scientists and science communicators should consider when deciding how best to use it. \n\n*The LSI's SciComm Speaker Series highlights the importance of disseminating scientific findings beyond the walls of the academy and effectively communicating the impact of publicly-funded research. This annual event provides world-leading science writers and communicators with an opportunity to share their experiences with faculty\, staff and students\, while also tapping into U-M's vast scientific research community.*\n\n\nAbout the speaker:\nSophie Bushwick is a science and technology journalist based in New York City and is currently working as senior news editor at New Scientist. She has more than a decade of experience as a freelance writer and staff editor at outlets including Scientific American\, where she covered the recent generative AI boom\, Popular Science\, Discover Magazine and Gizmodo\; and she continues to make regular appearances on Science Friday. Her work spans digital and print\, podcasts and radio\, TV news and TikTok. In her spare time\, she likes to read\, run\, learn about the evolution of fairy tales and take in as much theater as possible.
