SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Tools and Technology Seminar Presented by Yang Xiao
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe human hippocampus plays a critical role in memory and emotion\, with dysfunction implicated in numerous neuropsychiatric disorders. However\, understanding its molecular pathology within the context of spatial architecture has remained challenging. This talk will introduce spatial proteomics as an emerging tool for dissecting complex cellular neighborhoods and their functions at single-cell resolution. It helped address two key problems in spatial transcriptomics: Can we detect cellular morphology? Are RNAs the best proxies for proteins? By utilizing 25-plex spatial proteomics through co-detection by indexing (CODEX)\, we established the experimental platform for profiling human hippocampus and developed a computational framework through the lens of cellular neighborhoods.\n\nAbout The Tools & Technology Seminar Series\n\nThe DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar Series is held in Palmer Commons\, Room 2036\, each Thursday at 12pm EST. Each seminar highlights a computational tool\, technology\, or methodology that is under development or in current use and is of special interest to DCMB and University researchers. Presenters are U-M researchers and students.\n\nThese seminars are live-streamed and recorded and made available for future viewing via the DCMB YouTube Channel

SUMMARY:Well-being:U-M Farm Stand
DESCRIPTION:New location\, same Farm Stand! Join the U-M Sustainable Food Program (SL Sustainability) and the Campus Farm (Matthaei Botanical Gardens) every Thursday from 12-3pm to get produce grown by students for students. While the Diag is under construction\, the Farm Stand will park just west of the North University Building. As always\, students get a 30% discount and revenue from the Farm Stand will support the Student Food Empowerment Fund\, which offers grants to students and student organizations to pursue student-powered sustainable food projects on and off-campus.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Watcher of the Sky: Making and Remaking the Detroit Observatory
DESCRIPTION:The Detroit Observatory was once a hub of astronomical discovery that put the University of Michigan on the map as a world-class research institution. A century later\, it was an abandoned building with an uncertain future. From cornerstone to keystone\, from the first director to the people who saved it from destruction\, explore the life of a historic observatory 170 years in the making.\n\n\"Watcher of the Sky\" is being developed by student docents at the Detroit Observatory. Presented by the Judy and Stanley Frankel Detroit Observatory\, part of the Bentley Historical Library.\n\n\"Watcher of the Sky\" is now on display at the Detroit Observatory (1398 Ann Street\, Ann Arbor\, 48109). View the exhibit during the Observatory's open hours:\nThursdays 12-5 pm\nFridays 12-11 pm\nSelected Saturdays 12-5 pm

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCEE Lecture. The Long Shadow of Home: New Russian Political Migrants in Georgia and Serbia
DESCRIPTION:WCEE Postdoctoral Fellow Liudmila Listrovaya will present findings from her ethnographic research on recent Russian political migrants—*relokanti*. Relokanti\, despite possessing financial\, linguistic\, and cultural capital abroad\, remain politically silent in both public and private spheres. Drawing on interviews and participant observation conducted during fieldwork in Georgia and her most recent trip to Serbia\, Liudmila Listrovaya will show how fears of reprisal\, familial repercussions\, and community ostracism converge to suppress transnational political action.\n   \nThe data reveal a fraught trade-off: public dissent jeopardizes personal and family ties and risks social isolation within host communities\, while silence extends the Russian state’s extraterritorial reach. The authoritarian state’s mechanisms of surveillance and control\, ranging from political threats to the possibility of legal punishment and social coercion\, produce powerful disincentives to dissent among diasporic populations. By unpacking these dynamics\, this research advances theories of transnational authoritarianism and the ethics of voice and silence under authoritarianism. It also highlights the need for host-country policies and diaspora organizations to develop protective strategies that restore exiled communities’ capacity for collective action and political expression.\n   \nAs an environmental and political sociologist specializing in Russia\, Liudmila Listrovaya's research spans environmental inequality and governance\, authoritarian populism\, and war-prompted migration. She received her Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Oregon in 2024\, during which she also completed a six-month internship with the United Nations Environment Programme in Geneva.\n   \nDr. Listrovaya's current research projects include exploring the intersection of authoritarian populism and environmental issues in Russia\, focusing on how the history of internal colonialism and ethnicity discourse has shaped environmental inequality and its perceptions. Another key project examines the war in Ukraine and its consequences\, specifically regime-prompted outmigration from Russia. For this\, she conducted ethnographic fieldwork in Georgia and collected interviews with Russian political migrants. Her research has been published in *Qualitative Sociology*\, *Social Forces*\, *Environmental Sociology* and accepted for publication in *Society and Natural Resources*.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

DESCRIPTION:Join us as sacred music DMA student Ye Mee Kim performs a 30-minute organ recital.\n\nThe University of Michigan Organ Department presents Division Street Pipes - the organ recital series at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church that brought weekly joy to attendees during its first season earlier this year - returns and will continue through early December.\n\nDivision Street Pipes concerts take place on Thursdays at 12:15 pm. Each recital features talented students and faculty of the U-M Organ Department. These 30-minute performances are free and open to the public\, and audience members are invited to enjoy their lunch while listening. The series is co-sponsored by the University of Michigan Organ Department and St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in an effort to bring organ music to local audiences while connecting U-M organ students with the wider community.
