SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:SciFM25 Conference
DESCRIPTION:Generative AI appears poised to have a transformative impact on scientific discovery and engineering innovation.\n\n*#SciFM25: Scientific Discovery in the Age of AI* is the 2nd conference on foundation models and AI agents for science\, following the highly successful SciFM24 conference. The event will feature engaging talks and panel discussions from thought leaders and world-renowned experts from national labs\, academia\, and leading AI companies\; it will also include hands-on tutorials and interactive workshops.\n\nTopics include: ​​​​\nGenerative models for a range of physical and biological phenomena\nTechniques to enhance mathematical and scientific reasoning \nQuantifying and promoting creativity and novelty in foundation models\nAI-driven workflows integrating scientists\, instruments\, and computations\nAdvances in algorithmic and computational infrastructure\nEnvisioning and creating a national ecosystem for AI-augmented science\n\nThis conference will be an excellent opportunity for students\, professionals and enthusiasts to learn about ongoing developments (and cut through the hype) in foundation models and AI agents for science and exchange ideas with leaders in the field.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Student Dissertation Defense - Macroevolutionary patterns of a complex phenotype: Disparity\, convergence\, and integration of the Neotropical cichlid feeding system
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Organisms consist of many anatomical systems that function together to form complex phenotypes\, which are involved in tasks such as feeding\, breathing\, or locomotion. These phenotypes require the coordinated evolution\, or coevolution\, of numerous traits to maintain functionality. However\, multifunctional phenotypes face trade-offs that may restrict their diversification. The skull of fishes represents a complex phenotype\, containing over 100 bones\, which perform multiple functions such as feeding\, breathing\, and brooding eggs. Neotropical cichlids represent a fruitful system to study how a complex phenotype\, the feeding system\, has evolved in the context of an ancient adaptive continental radiation\, with repeated transitions to specialized diets\, and a second jaw in their throat\, which is thought to have resulted in their immense ecological and species diversity across two continents through functional decoupling. This dissertation investigates the macroevolutionary patterns in cichlid feeding morphology to better understand how complex phenotypes\, which are multifunctional\, have evolved in the context of constraint and adaptation. Utilizing three-dimensional geometric morphometrics and microcomputed tomography (μCT) scanning\, I explore the diversity and macroevolutionary patterns of the Neotropical cichlid feeding system\, including all bones in the oral and pharyngeal jaw for the first time. \nIn Chapter 2\, I characterize the diversity and phylogenetic trajectories of pharyngeal jaws across Cichlinae. The upper pharyngeal jaw has been largely absent in studies of cichlid feeding\, however\, with µCT scanning\, I am able to describe the diversity of the upper pharyngeal jaw and measure disparity through time\, revealing unexpected patterns in phenotypic divergence. In Chapter 3\, I examine the relationship between diet and feeding morphology\, highlighting instances of morphological convergence and divergence among ecologically similar species. I also reconstruct the evolutionary history of dietary transitions and test for correlations between diet and previously unstudied morphological traits. Lastly\, I test the hypothesis that functional decoupling has led to evolutionary decoupling between the oral and pharyngeal jaws in Chapter 4. My findings challenge traditional views on functional decoupling and suggest that evolutionary integration between the two jaws is necessary for functional decoupling to occur. The findings from this dissertation enhance our understanding of how complex phenotypes have evolved at a continental scale\, and the influence diet has on shaping macroevolutionary patterns.

SUMMARY:Other:Moth Eden
DESCRIPTION:Explore \"Moth Eden\,\" an evocative art exhibit by Anne Erlewine\, running from April 19 to July 6\, 2025. ‘Moth Eden’ is a series of works exploring the relationship between the sacred reverence of the female form depicted as landscape and the conditioned tension of objectification contrasted by omission through eclipsing desire with the natural essence of bloom and nectar as it pertains to moth sustenance.\n\nAnne Erlewine\, an artist from Ann Arbor\, Michigan\, cultivated her artistic talents from an early age\, inspired by her fine artist grandmother. Her creative journey was further developed at the University of Michigan\, where she studied art and writing.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:What Does Dialogue Feel Like?
DESCRIPTION:Dialogue—sounds great! But what does it actually feel like when you are in dialogue with a group? How do you know it is dialogue? Come do a deep dive about the differences between dialogue\, debate\, and discussion\, and practice being \"in dialogue\" with this group so you can walk away knowing what we actually mean when we say dialogue.\n\nABOUT DIFFICULT DIALOGUES\nDifficult Dialogues Meet the Moment Initiative is made possible though partnership between LSA Undergraduate Education\; Division of Student Life\; U-M Year of Democracy\, Civic Empowerment\, and Global Engagement\; Stephen M. Ross School of Business\; Raoul Wallenberg Institute\; The Program on Intergroup Relations\; and Difficult Dialogues National Resource Center. Find workshops\, coaching\, and more at myumi.ch/difficult-dialogues.
