SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Windows of Opportunity: How Shareholder Activists Capitalize on Periods of Disruptive Organizational Change
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by research on the temporal nature of opportunities\, we extend the idea that financially motivated shareholder activists target firms based on opportunities. We argue that certain organizational conditions create “windows of opportunity” for these activists to intervene in companies\, which\, when exploited\, increase their odds of success. Drawing on event-based theories of organizational change and disruption\, we hypothesize that firms become more likely targets of shareholder activists after experiencing organizational events that cause internal disruption to their business. We test this in the context of litigation and leadership transitions\, and find that shareholder activists are more likely to target firms shortly after they experience either event. We further show that activists are more successful in achieving their objectives when they target firms based on these opportunities. Viewing opportunities through a temporal lens\, this study extends research on the drivers of shareholder activism.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Student Thesis Defense -  Getting deep: A spatiotemporal dive into vertical phytoplankton patchiness in Michigan lakes
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Seasonal succession of phytoplankton distribution and community composition are well-established in aquatic ecology. However\, localized peaks in phytoplankton abundance—patchiness—can deviate from expected trends. To better understand this variability\, I analyzed vertical profiles of phytoplankton distribution across fifteen lakes in southeast Michigan over three field seasons (2021-2023). I focused on four major phytoplankton groups—green algae\, cyanobacteria\, diatoms\, and cryptophytes—and examined how their abundance varied with depth\, temperature\, and season. Detailed case studies from six representative lakes highlight how basin morphometry influences thermal stratification\, shaping phytoplankton patchiness and concentration over time. Green algae were typically most abundant at the surface during summer months\, though several lakes exhibited benthic green algal peaks. Cyanobacteria\, diatoms\, and cryptophytes showed greater variability across depth and lakes\, with cryptophytes often displaying more consistent abundance throughout the water column. Temperature profiles followed expected seasonal trends\, with strong stratification in summer and mixing in the fall. These results emphasize the importance of considering lake-specific conditions in driving vertical phytoplankton patchiness.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Inaugural Irwin Pollack Lecture | Exceptional Speech Recognition Outcomes: Lessons from Three Case Studies
DESCRIPTION:Individual differences and variability in outcomes following cochlear implantation and auditory brain stem implantation remain significant unresolved problems. In this talk I will present the results of research we have carried out on three exceptional adults with significant hearing loss who received implants. Two of the patients received cochlear implants\; the third received an Auditory Brainstem Implant. Case-reports on these three individuals have provided us with a novel way of investigating the foundational information processing mechanisms underlying variability in outcomes. All three adults displayed exceptionally good speech recognition outcomes following implantation and were administered a novel test battery to measure their auditory\, speech-language\, and neurocognitive functioning to uncover their strengths\, weaknesses\, and milestones. Our results suggest that current clinical outcome measures used to assess the benefits following implantation should be expanded beyond conventional endpoint product measures to include more sensitive robust tests of speech recognition and neurocognitive functioning.\n\nAbout the speaker: \nDavid B. Pisoni is currently a Distinguished Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences and Chancellor’s Professor of Cognitive Science at Indiana University in Bloomington. He is also an Adjunct Professor of Speech and Hearing Sciences and Linguistics at IU where he has taught undergraduate and graduate classes in Cognitive Psychology and carried out basic\, applied and clinical research on speech perception and spoken language processing. He is also an Adjunct Professor of Otolaryngology—HNS at the IU School of Medicine in Indianapolis where he carries out clinical research on hearing and cochlear implants in deaf children and adults.\n\nDr. Pisoni is one of the world’s leading research scientists in the field of Communication Sciences and Disorders. Over his 55 year career at IU\, he has carried out seminal research on human speech perception\, spoken word recognition\, language processing\, and perceptual development in infants and children. He has also carried out pioneering research on several applied problems for the United States Air Force dealing with the perception of synthesized speech in cognitively demanding environments as well as the effects of noise on speech production. For the last 33 years he has also worked at the IU School of Medicine on numerous clinical problems associated with hearing impairment in deaf children and adults who have received cochlear implants. This program of research has had important clinical applications for understanding the enormous variability in speech and language outcomes following implantation. Throughout his career\, Professor Pisoni has made significant contributions in basic\, applied and clinical research in areas of speech and language processing. As the founding Program Director of the Indiana University\, NIDCD T32 training program in Speech\, Hearing\, and Sensory Communication\, he was closely involved in training and mentoring undergraduates\, graduate students\, medical students\, and postdoctoral research fellows who worked closely with him and other faculty in the research laboratories in Bloomington and Indianapolis.\n\nEstablished thanks to a generous gift from the Pollack family\, the Irwin Pollack Lecture Series features world-class speakers in the fields of psychophysics\, cognition\, and perception. This inaugural lecture will be held as a Zoom watch party at the Michigan League in the Henderson room followed by a reception in the Hussey room. The talk will be recorded.
