SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins
DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Bloody Work: Lexington and Concord 1775
DESCRIPTION:The William L. Clements Library is pleased to announce a forthcoming exhibition in recognition of the 250th Anniversary of the military hostilities that began the American Revolutionary War. The Battles of Lexington and Concord are firmly established in American memory as the culmination of a range of governmental\, political\, economic\, and social tensions that amplified in the decade leading up to 1775. In this exhibit\, visitors will have the opportunity to see original historical manuscript letters\, documents\, newspapers\, and artwork that reveal aspects of the bloody work of Empire and individual alike in April 1775.\n\nAmong the items on display will be Commander in Chief of the British Army\, General Thomas Gage's draft orders for the Concord Expedition\, April 18\, 1775\; a bundle of letters collected by former Sons of Liberty supporter Dr. Benjamin Church\, which he secretly turned over to British Army intelligence\; letters by Silas Deane\, John Hancock\, and Rachel Revere\; and much more.\n\nOpen weekdays from 12-4 pm.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Student Dissertation Defense - How fish and fisher behavior affect production in small-scale reef fisheries
DESCRIPTION:Title: How fish and fisher behavior affect production in small-scale reef fisheries\n\nSummary: Reef fisheries\, which provide food and livelihoods for over one billion people\, are in decline due to growing population demands and climate-driven habitat loss. As the challenges facing these social-ecological systems intensify\, it is critical to understand the relationships between fishing communities and reef ecosystems. My dissertation draws on ecological and social science theory\, quantitative modeling\, field experiments\, and ethnographic research to provide an insight into the role of fish and fishers’ behavior in shaping small-scale reef fisheries. In my first study\, I documented behavioral responses of fishers in The Bahamas to a Category 5 hurricane and the COVID-19 pandemic\, highlighting key factors that influence resilience in the face of external shocks. In two subsequent studies\, I investigated the use of artificial reefs to augment fisheries production in the Caribbean. I used an individual-based model to demonstrate how fish behavior and size structure alter production dynamics on artificial reefs. Next\, I combined a decade of timeseries data on artificial reefs\, empirical data on fish population dynamics\, and production models to provide mechanistic evidence that artificial reefs enhance fisheries production. Together\, my research provides scientific insight into community resilience and fisheries management strategies that can be used to help support small-scale fisheries and the communities who depend on them.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Frontiers in Scientific Machine Learning Seminar 13: Statistical learning for Summary Statistics of Physics-based Model Outputs and their Correction and Probabilistic Outputs from Neural Networks applied to Super-resolution
DESCRIPTION:This is a hybrid seminar. Attendees can join online or at 2636 GGB (Breakfast and coffee will be provided)\nLink to join via Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/97823527756?pwd=H01BbvtuG5q02Wzb8LJvhUnvijlAIe.1\n\nAbstract:\nIn the first part of this talk\, we will discuss summary statistics of physics-based model outputs and their correction with observational data.\nPhysics-based models capture broad-scale dynamics across various spatial and temporal scales\, they often face challenges such as modeling biases\, high computational costs\, along with large outputs that are challenging to manipulate. On the other hand\, observations capture localized variability but are typically sparse. This talk presents an innovative approach to address these challenges by utilizing summary statistics from physics-based model outputs and enhancing them with observational information via neural networks.\n\nIn the second part of the talk\, we will present neural networks with closed-form probabilistic loss that applied to super-resolution of surface wind speed. We will illustrate that the use of a closed-form probabilistic loss provides the neural network with a sampling capability and a spatial covariance for super-resolved wind fields.\n\nThese are joint work with Atlanta Chakraborty (NREL)\, Harrison Goldwyn (NREL)\, Daniel Getter (USC)\, Johann Rudi (Virginia Tech) and Mitchell Krock (University of Missouri)\n\nBio: Julie Bessac received her Ph.D. degree in 2014 in Applied Mathematics from the University of Rennes 1\, France. Between 2014 and 2023\, she was a post-doctoral appointee and a research scientist in the Mathematics and Computer Science Division at Argonne National Laboratory. She joined National Renewable Energy Laboratory in 2023 as a computational statistician. She is an adjunct professor at the Department of Statistics at Virginia Tech. Her research focuses on statistical and machine learning methods for modeling\, forecasting and uncertainty quantification for diverse applications: geophysical processes and their applications to energy systems\, computer science and nuclear physics.
