SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Institute for Energy Solutions 2026 Energy Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The U-M Institute for Energy Solutions hosted its inaugural energy symposium in 2025 themed “What (Energy Issue) Is Keeping You Up at Night?”. The Symposium included faculty\, staff\, and students from across the University and external partners from academia\, industry\, government\, and nonprofits. Our goal was to identify critical energy challenges and discuss innovative energy solutions.\n\nThis year\, on May 27-28\, 2026\, IES is hosting its second energy symposium\, themed “What are your Energy Dreams?”. We want to know what energy challenges and solutions excite (“energize”) you today. Join us to discuss opportunities in electricity grid technology and computation\, biotechnology for energy feedstocks\, critical minerals\, geothermal systems\, data centers\, behavioral challenges in energy\, and more. IES will be welcoming Dr. Benjamin Kroposki\, the Director of the Power Systems Engineering Center at the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR)\, to give a plenary at the symposium.\n\nThe event will take place at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library (1000 Beal Ave\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109) on U-M’s North Campus. Further details will be announced soon. Save the date!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Debbie Thompson Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Debbie Thompson works predominantly in clay and draws inspiration from the natural world\, which she frequently references in her work. Her interest in ceramics began in high school when she took classes at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills\, Michigan. She later pursued her passion at the University of Michigan School of Art and Design\, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts. She also holds a Master of Arts from Eastern Michigan University and has completed post-graduate studio coursework at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, Maryland Institute College of Art\, Rhode Island School of Design\, and Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts.\n\nThompson taught visual art in the Ann Arbor Public Schools for 34 years and has also taught at the University of Michigan School of Education and Washtenaw Community College. She exhibits her work both locally and nationally and was a member of the Clay Gallery. She continues her practice in her home studio and at the Potters Guild in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. She is a member of the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts and the Michigan Ceramic Art Association. Her work is included in the permanent collection of the International Dinnerware Museum.\n\nThompson’s work has been inspired by the natural world since childhood. Although she initially studied biology in college\, she later shifted her focus to visual art. The textures\, colors\, and forms in her pieces are drawn directly from nature.\nSeeds—structures that have enabled plants to move through space and time for over 600 million years—are central to her recent work. They are vital to the continuation of plant life\, and therefore to human survival.\n\nIn this exhibition\, Thompson explores the unseen structures of seeds as revealed through electron microscopy. These images highlight the intricate beauty and ingenuity of nature\, which she interprets through her wall-mounted ceramic sculptures.\n\nAt a time when our planet and its ecosystems face increasing threats\, Thompson’s work serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world. Recognizing the beauty and significance of these often-unseen forms is a crucial first step toward protecting the life systems on which we all depend.
