SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ChE SEMINAR: Wenjun Zhang\, University of California\, Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:A reception with light refreshments will be held in the B10 lobby before each seminar from 1-1:30 p.m.\n\n*Abstract:*\nNatural products remain at the forefront of chemical biology\, offering both therapeutic potential and unique chemical insights. This seminar details our group’s approach to expanding the natural product landscape: from the discovery of molecules in complex ecological niches to the elucidation of rare enzymatic mechanisms. The first portion of the talk will focus on the human oral microbiome\, an underexplored reservoir of chemical diversity. I will discuss our efforts in mining for bioactive small molecules\, focusing on their role in defining the \"socio-chemical\" landscape of oral health and disease. The second half will transition into the biosynthetic logic governing unique scaffolds and functionalities of natural products. By elucidating the enzymatic machinery involved\, specifically our recent discovery and characterization of rare N-N bond-forming enzymes\, we demonstrate how understanding nature's synthetic strategies enables the production of novel analogs via synthetic biology and expands the modern biocatalytic toolkit.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Fall 2026 - Empowering Your Teaching: Tech\, Accessibility\, and AI in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Ready to enhance your courses and simplify your teaching workflow? This comprehensive workshop series equips U-M faculty with the practical tech skills needed for the modern semester. Across this track\, you will dive into interactive classroom tools (Poll Everywhere\, Ed Discussions)\, advanced grading and lab platforms (PrairieLearn\, Vocareum)\, and critical digital accessibility strategies (Grackle\, Siteimprove).Additionally\, a dedicated GenAI pathway will guide you from AI basics to advanced prompt engineering using U-M’s custom tools\, including U-M GPT\, Maizey\, and NotebookLM. Join us for individual sessions or the entire series to build a more engaging\, inclusive\, and tech-forward classroom.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Breaking into supply chains: experimental evidence on procurement training for women-owned SMEs
DESCRIPTION:Women-owned-or-led small and medium enterprises (WSMEs) are underrepresented in public and corporate supply chains worldwide. There is growing interest in promot- ing supplier diversification and SMEs’ integration into value chains\, but limited causal evidence whether interventions to support WSMEs’ participation in procurement are effective. This paper conducts a phased randomized controlled trial to estimate the impacts of corporate procurement training for WSMEs in Colombia. The program in- creases procurement knowledge and readiness\, resulting in a 10 percentage point (p.p.) increase in registrations to corporate portals and an 8 p.p. increase in the likelihood of submitting a bid. Impacts on winning bids are concentrated on WSMEs with prior pro- curement knowledge or experience\, whose probability of winning a contract increases by 8 to 9 p.p. These impacts are approximately 20% of the control means. More broadly\, the paper illustrates how complier-weighted treatment effects can be used to evaluate programs delivered through a funnel-shaped participation processes\, common in private sector development interventions.
