SUMMARY:Other:Blood Drive at the Michigan Union 2/11
DESCRIPTION:Help the University of Michigan beat Penn State\, Michigan State\, and Wisconsin in the annual Winter Battle\, hosted by Blood Drives United\, in which Big Ten schools compete to see who can raise the most pints of blood. Donate blood on February 11th at the *Michigan Union—Rogel Ballroom* between 12PM and 6PM and save up to three lives! Donors receive a free Big Heart shirt\, a Washtenaw Dairy coupon while supplies last\, and the opportunity to join a drawing for prizes from local businesses. Not free this day? Go to bloodbattle.org to see the full schedule of drives. The Winter Battle runs from January 14 – February 28.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Seminar Series - Herbivory and water availability interact to shape the adaptive landscape in the perennial forb\, Boechera stricta
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of our ongoing Tuesday Lunch Seminar Series.\n\nAbiotic and biotic factors interact to influence phenotypic evolution\; however\, identifying the causal agents of selection that drive the evolution and expression of traits remains challenging. In a field common garden\, we manipulated water availability and herbivore abundance across 3 years\, and evaluated clinal variation in functional traits and phenology\, phenotypic plasticity\, local adaptation\, and selection using diverse accessions of the perennial forb\, Boechera stricta. Consistent with expectations\, drought stress exacerbated damage from herbivores. We found significant plasticity and genetic clines in foliar and phenological traits. Water availability and herbivory interacted to exert selection\, even on traits like flowering duration\, which showed no clinal variation. Furthermore\, the direction of selection on specific leaf area in response to water availability mirrored the genetic cline and plasticity\, suggesting that variation in water levels across the landscape influences the evolution of this trait. Finally\, both herbivory and water availability likely contribute to local adaptation. This work emphasizes the additive and synergistic roles of abiotic and biotic factors in shaping phenotypic variation across environmental gradients.

SUMMARY:Performance:Kathy Beck\, carillon
DESCRIPTION:Kathy Beck performs on the Charles Baird Carillon\, an instrument of 53 bronze bells located inside the Burton Memorial Tower. The largest bell\, which strikes the hour\, weighs 12 tons\, while the smallest bell\, 4½ octaves above\, weighs just 15 pounds.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Charles Baird Carillon at noon every weekday that classes are in session\, followed by visitor Q&A with the carillonist. The bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs. Take the elevator to the highest floor possible (floor 8)\, and then climb two flights of stairs (39 steps) to the bell chamber (floor 10). Hearing protection earmuffs are provided for visitors. Be prepared to walk on ice and snow in the bell chamber during winter. Built in 1936\, the Charles Baird Carillon is not ADA accessible. Visitors with mobility concerns are invited to visit the Lurie Carillon.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | A Pointless Arrow to the Border: Investigating Sa Arrow Poison in Eighteenth-Century China
DESCRIPTION:*In-person event only*\n\nWhen does mobility stop and rootedness emerge? When does the empire reach its limits? This presentation examines the friction of knowledge circulation in Qing China\, with a focus on the court’s failed attempts to decipher and deploy a Miao arrow poison known as sa.\n   \n   Chang Xu is an assistant professor of Asian Studies at Rice University. Her research interests cover the global history of medicine\, the history of military science and technologies\, and the interconnections between human and non-human bodies. She is working on her first book\, “Medicine on the March: Military Institutions\, Medical Networks\, and the Qing Empire\, 1644-1800.” It offers a social\, cultural\, and institutional history of medical practices in garrisons during the period of Qing territorial expansion.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at chinese.studies@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
