SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Veterans Week: Veteran and Military Graduate Student Panel
DESCRIPTION:Graduate Student Veterans are a significant and vital population on the University of Michigan Campus. This panel will feature Graduate Student Veterans and will discuss their experiences both in service and as graduate students.   Areas of discussion will include military experience\, transition to graduate school\, challenges in graduate school and intersections of identity.  Attendees will also have the opportunity to engage in discussions with students during this session.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jessi Grieser\, carillon
DESCRIPTION:LSA faculty member Jessi Grieser performs on the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Carillon\, an instrument of 60 bells with the lowest bell (bourdon) weighing 6 tons.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Lurie Carillon every weekday that classes are in session. During these recitals\, visitors may take the elevator to level 2 to view the largest bells\, or to level 3 to see the carillonist performing. (Visitors subject to acrophobia are recommended to visit level 2 only.) An optional spiral stairway between levels 2 and 3 allows for up-close views of some of the largest bells.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ChE SEMINAR: Brian Pfleger\, University of Wisconsin-Madison
DESCRIPTION:A reception with light refreshments will be held in the B10 lobby before each seminar from 1-1:30 p.m.\n\nFinding a sustainable alternative for today’s petrochemical industry is a major challenge facing chemical engineers and society at large. To be sustainable\, routes for converting carbon dioxide and light into organic compounds for use as both fuels and chemical building blocks must be identified\, understood\, and engineered. Advances in metabolic engineering\, synthetic biology\, and other bioengineering disciplines have expanded the scope of what can be produced in a living organism. As in other engineering disciplines\, synthetic biologists want to apply a general understanding of\nscience (e.g. microbiology\, biochemistry) to construct complex systems from well-characterized parts (e.g. DNA\, protein). Once novel synthetic biological systems (e.g. enzymes for biofuel synthesis) are constructed\, they must be engineered to function inside evolving cells without negatively impacting the host’s physiology.\n\nIn this talk\, I will describe pathways for producing chemicals derived from fatty-acids and how my group and others have improved oleochemical production in microbes. The talk will describe the critical regulatory points in native fatty acid metabolism\, strategies for deregulating flux\, and alternatives that by-pass it altogether. I will highlight the use of heterologous plant enzymes to alter the chain length distribution of products from common long-chain molecules to higher-value medium-chain analogs. I will also highlight strategies that we have used to produce medium-chain\nfatty alcohols\, the highest value compounds in the class\, through engineering of thioesterase and thiolase driven pathways. I will conclude with commentary on the remaining barriers to commercializing these technologies and areas where further research investment could prove\nfruitful.
