SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit- Closer: A look at the tiny world around us
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exhibit featuring the photography of Joseph Ferraro\, free and open to the public at Matthaei Botanical Gardens.\n\n \n\nBIO\n\nJoseph is a conservation photographer living and working in southeast Michigan. In 2014\, using macro photography to explore his backyard garden\, he unknowingly began walking a naturalist’s path and documenting native pollinators and invertebrates. His large format prints of local invertebrates are currently on exhibit outside of the Belle Isle Nature Center\, with other works on exhibit inside the Center. With them\, he seeks to inspire viewers to take a closer look at the tiny world around us.\n\n \n\nArtist Statement\n\nTo me\, the little things matter.\n\nThrough my work as a photographer\, I share the unseen and overlooked world of nature that surrounds us. My focus is exploring the world of invertebrates and showcasing these creatures in their natural habitat.\n\nMy creative process has evolved into a moving mediation\, as I Slow down to observe\, document and connect with my subjects as we interact in the environment. Ultimately\, I seek to capture the unique beauty of creatures not usually perceived as beautiful and aim to create images that evoke emotion and curiosity. In so doing I strive to raise awareness of the importance of these creatures in our world and dispel any fears the viewer may have.\n\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/josephferraro/\n\nWeb: https://www.joseph-ferraro.com

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Combining Complements: Theory and Evidence from Cancer Treatment Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Innovations often combine several components to achieve outcomes greater than the “sum of the parts.” We argue that such combination innovations can introduce an understudied inefficiency—a positive market expansion externality that benefits the owners of the components. We demonstrate the importance of this externality in the market for pharmaceutical cancer treatments\, where drug combination therapies have proven highly effective. Using data on clinical trial investments\, we document several facts consistent with inefficiently low private innovation: firms are less likely than publicly funded researchers to trial combinations\, firms are less likely to trial combinations including other firms’ drugs than those including their own drugs\, and firms often wait to trial combinations including other firms’ drugs until those drugs experience generic entry. Using microdata on drug prices and utilization\, we quantify the externalities that arise from new combinations and find that the market expansion externality often dominates the standard negative business stealing externality\, suggesting too little innovation in combination therapies. As a result\, firms may have incentives to free ride off others’ innovation\, which we analyze with a dynamic structural model of innovation decisions. We use the model to design cost-effective policies that advance combination innovation. Redirecting publicly funded innovation toward combinations with high predicted market expansion or consumer surplus spillovers minimizes crowd out of private investments\, increasing the rate of combination innovation and total welfare while remaining budget neutral.

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Articulating and Leveraging Your Transferable Skills (for GraduateStudents)
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/session/96830 This workshop will explore the many transferable skills you have gained during graduate school andhow to translate these skills to the non-academic job market. We’ll review transferable skills employers value (e.g.\, collaboration\, critical thinking\, project management) and discuss the types of graduate school experiences where you may have honed these skills. You will have time to reflect on your unique experiences and articulate the transferable skills gained from them. To get the most out of the session\, please review this worksheet and come prepared with questions and/or experiences to share. This event is intended to be interactive and therefore a recording will not be available. Brought to you by the University Career Center\, in partnership with Rackham Graduate School.
