SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Seminar Series - A holistic framework to assess plants\, pollinators\, and plant-pollinator interactions given novel herbicide exposure
DESCRIPTION:Description: Worldwide pollinator declines are a growing concern amid the scientific community and the public at large. While modern agricultural practices have been identified as a major factor contributing to the pollinator crisis\, most of the research on this topic has focused on the effects of insecticide use on pollinators. In contrast\, far less effort has been invested in trying to understand the possible downstream effects of herbicide use on pollinators via their effects on the plants upon which pollinators rely for floral resources. This oversight is especially alarming because herbicides surpass insecticides as the most highly-used class of pesticide in the world\, and instances of pollution from newly-adopted herbicides\, namely synthetic auxin (“auxinic”) herbicides\, are rising. Moreover\, my PhD work has shown that low dose exposures to auxinic herbicides can disrupt the growth and flowering of plant species commonly found in agroecosystems and the root mutualism between legumes and nitrogen-fixing rhizobial bacteria. Yet\, the effects on plant-pollinator mutualisms in field-realistic scenarios are just beginning to be understood. In this seminar\, I will present the main findings from my dissertation as well as preliminary results from my ongoing postdoctoral project\, which aims to assess the effects of novel auxinic herbicide exposure on plants\, pollinators\, and plant-pollinator interactions. In doing so\, we apply a holistic framework by investigating the impact of other relevant biotic factors present in agroecosystems (e.g. herbivores and soil microbes) that might also be important for mediating the consequences of herbicide exposure for plants and pollinators.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:First-Gen Celebration Week: Agency and Affirmation: Enhancing Support for our First-Gen Trailblazers” (a special session for university faculty\, staff and UM community
DESCRIPTION:With over 5\,000 first-generation college students at the University of Michigan\, there is a critical need for comprehensive support inside and outside the classroom. This interactive session will introduce the network of campus-wide resources for first-gens\, share practical strategies\, and inspire ongoing advocacy to help you champion first-generation student success. Join us for a special virtual training session facilitated by  First-Generation Gateway Program Director Terra Molengraff and College of Engineering Director of Access\, Opportunity\, and Student Success Joseph Ballard II to explore strategies to affirm and support first-generation college students on our campus.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:For All Ages Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:In the 19th century\, new ideas about childhood and education\, along with advances in printing like chromolithography\, made it possible to mass-produce games and toys. These were not only fun to play with but also taught practical skills and moral lessons. Learn about familiar and unique toys and board games throughout American history in the William L. Clements Library’s new exhibit\, “For All Ages” on view weekdays from 12-4 pm between October 3-January 5.\n\nEven though the objects are behind glass\, the co-curators have created an interactive way to explore the display. Visit the exhibit to participate in a scavenger hunt and win a prize!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Cohort Replacement and the Waves of Fertility Decline in China
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/W6N6d.\n\nTaking a cohort perspective\, this presentation examines China’s fertility decline as three distinct ‘waves\,’ each shaped by unique cultural shifts. Dr. Cai will analyze the drivers behind these declines and offer predictions about China’s fertility future.\n   \n   Yong Cai’s research focuses on Chinese demography\, especially the one-child policy\, including its political causes and its demographic and social effects. He challenges the conventional narrative about how policy drove fertility changes. His research assesses China’s fertility from multiple sources to clarify uncertainties within official statistics. He draws attention to the significant social and demographic challenges created by the policy’s draconian nature\, which are disproportionately borne by disadvantaged social classes.
