SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | Renormalization Group in far-from-equilibrium states
DESCRIPTION:We consider half BPS operators in maximally supersymmetric Yang Mills (SYM) in p+1 dimensions. These operators satisfy trace relations that are identical to those discussed in the p=3 case (N = 4 SYM). Nevertheless\, the bulk explanation of these trace relations must differ from the p = 3 case as their holographic duals are not AdS spacetimes. We identify giant graviton solutions in the dual holographic backgrounds for -1 <= p <= 4. In the ’t Hooft limit\, these giants are D(6-p) branes that wrap the internal sphere. We also follow the giants into the strong coupling region where they become other branes. Despite propagating in a non-AdS geometry\, we find that the branes “feel” like they are in AdS. This is closely related to the emergent scaling symmetry present in these boundary theories.\n\nbased on https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.14249

SUMMARY:Tours:LSA Campus Tours for Transfer Students
DESCRIPTION:Tired of campus tours designed for high school students? Join the LSA Transfer Student Ambassadors for a central campus tour and to learn all about the transfer student experience. As transfer students\, the Ambassadors understand the questions you have and designed a tour with the needs of transfer students in mind.\n\nAfter the tour\, staff members from the LSA Transfer Center will be available to answer your questions about transfer credit\, financial aid\, and applying.\n\nPlease register using the link to the right.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Michigan Engineering Student Focus Groups
DESCRIPTION:Michigan Engineering Students\, We invite you to lend your voice to our upcoming focus groups\, where you'll have the chance to share your experiences and insights about the resources and services at Michigan Engineering that support you throughout your academic journey. Your feedback will help us to learn about your persepctives in order to meet the needs of all students. During these sessions\, we will discuss a range of topics related to student support and resources\, including:Which services and resources you find most valuableAccessibility and awareness of available resourcesOpportunities for new services or improvements to existing onesThese focus groups are open to all current Undergraduate and Graduate Michigan Engineering students. To thank you for your participation\, you’ll receive a swag item\, and if you join an in-person session\, we'll also provide food!

SUMMARY:Meeting:SynSem
DESCRIPTION:The syntax-semantics group provides a forum within which Linguistics students and faculty at UM\, and from neighboring universities (thus far including EMU\, MSU\, Oakland University\, Wayne State and UM-Flint) can informally present or just discuss and share their ongoing research in these domains. The group is frequently used by students to practice conference presentations and receive constructive feedback from familiar faces.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Trash Club Presents: Degrowth and the connection to social metabolism
DESCRIPTION:Come learn about postgrowth and degrowth\, defined as: the planned & equitable downscaling of wealthy societies' throughputs of material and energy\, designed to bring the economy back in balance with the living world in a way that reduces inequality and improves human well-being (definitions adapted from Giorgos Kallis and Jason Hickel). Degrowth is widely misunderstood\, but is having a moment in pockets across the globe\, including an EU-wide research project currently looking into how to implement degrowth policies. Come learn about degrowth efforts in the US\, localizing material circularity\, and opportunities to advance community resilience. Dani took several courses on the subject with leading degrowth scholars at the Autonomous University of Barcelona\, a hub for degrowth scholarship\, so she will share her insights as well as news of exciting research.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture - Ellen Currano\, University of Wyoming
DESCRIPTION:The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) is often considered to be the best geologic analog for modern anthropogenic warming\, as the magnitude of carbon release and warming is similar to that predicted for the coming century. I will present PETM paleobotanical records from the Bighorn Basin (northwestern Wyoming) and Hanna Basin (southeastern Wyoming) and examine changes in plant taxonomic composition\, vegetation structure\, and insect herbivory during the PETM. Water stress during the PETM was higher in the Bighorn Basin than in the Hanna Basin\, allowing investigation of the interplay of carbon dioxide\, temperature\, and water availability on forest ecosystems. I will also discuss my path to becoming a female full professor\, including being the sometimes bearded face of women in paleontology.
