SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:“Linking Pathogen Inactivation and Byproduct Formation: Nucleic Acid Fate During Drinking Water Disinfection”
DESCRIPTION:As part of the 2026 Summer Lecture Series at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS)\, Dr. Aleksandra Szczuka will give a free\, public talk about safe and sustainable drinking water and human health\, titled “Linking Pathogen Inactivation and Byproduct Formation: Nucleic Acid Fate During Drinking Water Disinfection.”\n\nSzczuka is an assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Michigan whose research is motivated by broad access to affordable water.\n\nDrinking water treatment plants — originally designed to treat relatively clean surface waters — are now faced with increasing levels of biological and chemical contaminants. \n\nChlorination is a key process for controlling acute health risks. However\, disinfection byproducts (DBPs)\, which pose chronic health risks such as bladder cancer\, form as an unintended consequence of chlorination.\n\nSzczuka will examine nucleic acids as a missing link between pathogen control and byproduct formation. She also will discuss the roles of previously overlooked chlorine species in nucleic acid reactivity and viral inactivation\, and the potential for nucleic acid chlorination to form an emerging class of DBPs.\n\nCollaborating with practitioners\, Szczuka will talk about how utilities in Michigan are working to meet both biological and chemical contaminant treatment objectives in a changing climate.\n\nHer research uses fundamental chemistry and microbiology to inform treatment of non-traditional water sources to safeguard public health. Szczuka is especially interested in understanding the drivers of acute and chronic health risks in water and in advancing emerging treatment technologies.\n\nShe collaborates with researchers\, engineers\, and utility practitioners.\n\nSzczuka received her Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in civil and environmental engineering from Stanford University\, and a B.S.E. degree in chemical and biological engineering from Princeton University.\n\nPrior to starting her lab\, Alex was a Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Michigan. \n\nThe University of Michigan Biological Station serves as a gathering place to learn from the natural world\, advance research and education\, and inspire action. We leverage over a century of research and transformative experiences to drive discoveries and solutions to benefit Michigan and beyond.\n\nFounded in 1909\, UMBS supports long-term research and education through immersive\, field-based courses and features state-of-the-art equipment and facilities for data collection and analysis to help any field researcher be productive. It is where students and scientists from across the globe live and work as a community to learn from the place.\n\nThe Summer Lecture Series is a tradition at UMBS\, where we explore scientific topics with distinguished guest speakers from across the country so the community can learn about our natural world.\n\nThe free\, public talks are on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. in the spring and summer in Gates Lecture Hall at the University of Michigan Biological Station\, located at 9133 Biological Rd. in Pellston\, Michigan — about 20 miles south of the Mackinac Bridge.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Echoes of the Past: Greektown as Seen by Sam Karres
DESCRIPTION:Explore the personal sketchbooks of Sam Karres\, Greek-American painter and artist\, as he illustrates the daily life of residents in Greektown\, Detroit. This exhibit highlights Detroit’s Greek-American community and urban scenery during the late 20th century. Experience art and life through Sam’s eyes with scenes of music\, dance\, restaurants\, and the faces of the community. Let the vivid watercolor paintings and expressive sketches transport you to a Greektown of the past\, and learn more about Sam Karres’ life as an artist.\n\nFeaturing works from the Sam Karres Archive\, 1955-2012\, held by the University of Michigan Library's Special Collection Research Center. Curated by Annelie Zissis and Arthur Pfeifer-Rubey\, Library Engagement Fellows.

SUMMARY:Performance:Kaki King
DESCRIPTION:A landscape of sound that pulls at the heart and invites you in.\n\nDubbed by Rolling Stone as \"a genre unto herself\,\" Brooklyn\, NY-based Kaki King has proven to be just that.  Her career has taken her all over the world\, sharing stages with Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters\, contributing music to award-winning films (Sean Penn's Into The Wild)\, and performing at the London Jazz Festival and the Paris Les Femmes s'en Melent.  \n\nHer explorations into the guitar and multimedia have led to the creation of groundbreaking work such as The Neck Is A Bridge To The Body\, Modern Yesterdays\, and a new multi-media musical production for children called BUGS. Kaki continues to create\, perform\, and lend her musical voice to the forefront of contemporary music\, as shown on her 2025 EP\, Tutto Passa\, and recent album\, SEI\, the soundtrack to a unique performance piece where guitarists become dancers\, coordinating their whole bodies to perform the rigors of both choreography and composition.  \n\nEndorsed by Ovation Guitars\, Kaki released the EP Stop Sometime last August and remains a force on the music scene\, touring Italy and Germany in the fall and performing both solo and BUGS shows throughout parts of the United States into 2026\, while also and scheduling yet another EP for release on February 13.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Muted Volumes: Book-Objects\, Patterned Papers\, and the Closed Stacks of Buhr
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit in the Clark Library rotunda focuses on handmade decorative patterned papers when exploring books stored at the library's Buhr Offsite Shelving Facility. Decorative paper\, noticed when walking through the stack's aisles or surprising you when you casually flip through a book\, can really catch your eye. But because the Buhr stacks are closed from browsing\, the density and dimensionality of its nearly 3 million books are reduced to title searches on a screen.\n\nAs a response to these reflections\, artist and library staff member Stephanie Osorio shares her handbound unopenable book-objects as symbolic stand-ins for forgotten books at Buhr — the books that don’t get a chance to be noticed. Along with the book-objects are the carved woodblocks that made prints to decorate them. Some books from Buhr that inspired this project with their original decorated patterned papers will also be on display.\n\nView the exhibit anytime the Hatcher Library is open\, and join us for an opening reception on Thursday\, May 14th\, 5pm - 6:30pm\, for an opportunity to hear from the artist and engage with the book-objects.
