SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:AmeriCorps NCCC: A Conversation with Alumni
DESCRIPTION:What is AmeriCorps NCCC?AmeriCorps NCCC is one program option within AmeriCorps\, which is the federal agencyfor national service and volunteerism. AmeriCorps NCCC programs are in-person\, full-time\, and don’t have positions within a particular location. Our members serve on a team of 8-12 individuals while traveling across the country to support a variety of community needs with all expenses paid.What will this webinar cover?There’s no better way to learn about life in AmeriCorps NCCC than hearing firsthand accounts fromthose who have served in this program. Get the inside scoop from a panel of alumni to learn more about their NCCC experiences and how national service supported their careers. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions to learn more that might help you decide if you’re ready to start your path to service with NCCC.What positionsare open for AmeriCorps NCCC?To see the listing of all open positions in AmeriCorps NCCC\, visit the MyAmeriCorps application portal.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Leveraging the unique (photo)reactivity of aromatic cations for chemical biology
DESCRIPTION:Covalent protein modification chemistries have become an essential component to a wide array of fields ranging from drug discovery and chemical biology to materials chemistry.  As a result\,  the development of new ligation chemistries with enhanced sophistication and new capabilities serve to not only enable access to protein conjugates with new functional properties but can also provide unique lenses through which to probe biological structure and processes directly in a native environment.  This seminar will discuss recent efforts by our group to develop unique chemical transformations that covalently modify biological matter via unusual or underexplored mechanistic pathways as well as their application in the study of complex biological systems.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Professors Zhan Chen\, Anna Kirkland\, and Anne McNeil\, Collegiate Professorship Inaugural Lecture
DESCRIPTION:This event will take place both in person and virtually.\n\nProfessor Zhan Chen\, the Michael D. Morris Collegiate Professor of Chemistry\, Macromolecular Science and Engineering\, Biophysics\, and Applied Physics\n\nLecture Title: Probing Polymer and Biological Molecules at Buried Interfaces in Situ in Real Time\n\nLecture Abstract: Interfacial properties such as adhesion\, friction\, biocompatibility\, and chemical reactivity are mediated by interfacial structures. It is difficult to study buried interfacial structures in situ at the molecular level due to the lack of appropriate tools. We have developed sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy into a powerful tool to study in situ\, real time molecular structures and interactions at buried interfaces\, including complex polymer and biological interfaces. Our research not only provides fundamental knowledge about interfaces\, but also elucidates molecular interaction mechanisms at buried interfaces that are important for industrial applications and commercial products. \n\nProfessor Anna Kirkland\, the Kim Lane Scheppele Collegiate Professor of Women's and Gender Studies\n\nLecture Title: Troubles with Health Care Civil Rights\n\nLecture Abstract:  Applying civil rights laws to health care has been hard for a long time. From the hospital desegregation efforts of the 1960s to debates over gender-affirming care today\, civil rights and health care have troubled each other. What does anti-discrimination mean in doctor-patient interactions\, in health insurance benefit plans\, and in our courts and legislatures? Why are civil rights in health care running into troubles\, and what are those troubles? I answer these questions drawing on my research into health care civil rights implementation in hospitals across the country\, the histories of our civil rights laws and regulations\, and the stakes of our current legal and political disputes.\n\nProfessor Anne McNeil\, the Carol A. Fierke Collegiate Professor of Chemistry\, Program in the Environment\, and Macromolecular Science and Engineering\n\nLecture Title: Microplastics are Here\, There\, and Everywhere\n\nLecture Abstract: Microplastics have been found virtually everywhere we've looked\, sparking concerns about their impacts on the environment and human health. As a result\, quantifying the concentration\, identity\, and fate of microplastics is one of the most important questions of our time. Yet the existing data may be flawed\; the burden of proof for calling something a microplastic is minimal\, and it is not uncommon for researchers to report a microplastic based on appearance alone\, or with a low quality spectrum. Moreover\, many studies lack proper controls or use equipment that could introduce contamination. In this talk\, I will discuss these challenges with identifying microplastics and our approach to improving data collection and interpretation. I will also share some data from our studies looking at microplastic contamination in the air and groundwater in Michigan. Combined\, these improved methods and higher quality data aim to inform efforts to reduce microplastic contamination in our environment and bodies.\n\nIf you are unable to join us in person\, please click the link below to join the webinar:\n\nJoin from PC\, Mac\, iPad\, or Android:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/97703868091\n\nPhone one-tap:\n+16469313860\,\,97703868091# US\n+13017158592\,\,97703868091# US (Washington DC)\n\nJoin via audio:\n+1 646 931 3860 US\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 305 224 1968 US\n+1 309 205 3325 US\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 876 9923 US (New York)\n+1 564 217 2000 US\n+1 669 444 9171 US\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 689 278 1000 US\n+1 719 359 4580 US\n+1 253 205 0468 US\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 360 209 5623 US\n+1 386 347 5053 US\n+1 507 473 4847 US\n+1 647 374 4685 Canada\n+1 647 558 0588 Canada\n+1 778 907 2071 Canada\n+1 780 666 0144 Canada\n+1 204 272 7920 Canada\n+1 438 809 7799 Canada\n+1 587 328 1099 Canada\nWebinar ID: 977 0386 8091\nInternational numbers available: https://umich.zoom.us/u/arssbgEGU

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:What difference does guaranteed income make for Ann Arbor gig workers?
DESCRIPTION:More people are turning to gig work\, side hustles\, and entrepreneurship to try to make ends meet when traditional employment isn’t cutting it\, especially in Ann Arbor where the cost of living is so high. \n\nJoin a community conversation about what the Guaranteed Income to Grow Ann Arbor (GIG A2) pilot program is revealing about the potential of guaranteed income to sustain self-employed workers in Ann Arbor. The event\, which is hosted by Groundcover News and the University of Michigan\, will include a panel discussion with audience Q&A and the chance to purchase a special GIG A2 issue of Groundcover.
