SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Brown Bag Seminar | Growing large SMBH at early times with dark atoms
DESCRIPTION:Observations by JWST have indicated the presence of large SMBH within the first 500 Myr of the universe. The existence of these black holes require the BH seeds to grow faster than allowed by the Eddington limit. In this talk I will consider the growth of these black holes if a small component of dark matter was dissipative in nature. Using dark atoms as a concrete example of dissipative dark matter\, we show that it is possile to grow large BHs in the early universe through accretion of dark atoms or by starting out with larger seeds.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MPSDS / JPSM Seminar: Adding Modes without Subtracting Quality: Survey Data Collection in Low and Middle-income Countries
DESCRIPTION:MPSDS JPSM Seminar Series\nMPSDS M3 Series: Mastery\, Methodology\, Meetups\n\nIn person\, room 1070\, Institute for Social Research and via Zoom. \n\nAdding Modes without Subtracting Quality: Survey Data Collection in Low and Middle-income Countries\n\nThe growth of mobile phones and internet connection in low and middle-income countries (LMIC) may mean that survey data collection in LMIC can advance from face-to-face surveys to additional modes such as web or cell phone surveys. During this seminar\, you will learn which modes are feasible in which contexts with a particular focus on mobile phone surveys.\n\nDr. Abigail (Abba) Greenleaf is an Assistant Professor at Columbia’s Mailman School of Public Health. She received her PhD from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health\, her Master of Public Health from Columbia and BS in public health from George Washington University. She is a public health demographer whose research focuses on (1) women’s reproductive health across geographies and the lifespan and\; (2) intensive longitudinal data collection. By integrating these areas\, she is creating innovative findings for international sexual and reproductive health population sciences. She enjoys leveraging innovative data collection approaches to generate high-frequency\, cost- efficient population data for public health action. Survey research has been a part of her research portfolio since she was a Doctoral student and wrote her dissertation about the feasibility of mobile phone surveys to create population-based estimates in Burkina Faso\, West Africa. Her grandfather worked for Central Surveys\, a survey research firm in Southwest Iowa that closed in 2017 after 80 years.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Museum Studies Program\, Museums at Noon
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Madeleine Harris (MSP24\; PhD candidate\, Classical Studies)\nMuseum stewardship\, the process by which museums build and nurture relationships with the individuals and organizations who support them\, is an integral part of development work. Stewardship can take many forms\, ranging from individual contact to widespread outreach campaigns. This summer\, I had the opportunity to learn more about this process with the University of Michigan Art Museum’s Development team. This presentation will explore how UMMA develops and fosters its relationships with donors and supporters\, with a particular focus on “impact reports” and museum member stewardship.
