SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Hierarchical Block Copolymers for Theranostic Nanomedicine
DESCRIPTION:Nanoparticles derived from amphiphilic hybrid block copolymers (HBCs) have been recognized as promising candidates for a range of applications\, including bioimaging\, therapeutic delivery\, and diagnostics. Comprised of chemically distinct blocks with differing architectures\, these unique polymer frameworks exhibit properties that surpass those of conventional amphiphilic polymers. However\, a lack of synthetic feasibility has hindered the widespread adoption of amphiphilic HBCs due to challenges posed by the distinct solubility of the blocks\, the steric effects of the branched block on copolymerization and purification of end products\, and the difficulty of preparing amphiphilic HBCs. Herein\, we report the use of aqueous reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization to form amphiphilic HBCs and assess their potential as biomaterials for theranostic applications. Comprised of chemically distinct blocks with differing architectures (i.e.\, dendritic and grafted/linear)\, these unique polymer frameworks were strategically designed to self-assemble into nanoparticles ideal for simultaneous bioimaging and therapy. The synthesis\, physicochemical characterization\, and in vitro cell viability of a library of dendritic HBCs and their resulting nanoparticles are discussed. Microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) analyses support the formation of aqueous dispersions\, yielding polymeric nanoparticles with sizes < 120 nm. The resulting polymer hybrids and their nanoparticles exhibited minimal cell toxicity and dual imaging and therapeutic potential. Results indicate that these polymers and their nanoparticles exhibit properties surpassing those of conventional amphiphilic polymers. This study exemplifies the effect of polymer topology on nanomaterial properties and expands the design space of RAFT polymerization in biomedical research.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Substitution and Income Effects of Labor Income Taxation
DESCRIPTION:The elasticity of taxable income (ETI) parameter is a key quantity in empirical analysis of tax policy and labor supply. We examine when a commonly applied class of ETI estimands can be used to learn about individuals’ ETI parameters and their (un)compensated elasticities of labor supply. We begin by providing necessary and sufficient conditions for these estimands to be given a causal interpretation as a positively weighted average of heterogeneous ETI parameters. We then apply these results to empirically analyze a reform of the Norwegian tax system that reduced the marginal tax rates on middle and high incomes. The estimated ETI parameters increase steadily with income\, meaning high-income individuals are more responsive to tax changes than middle-income individuals. Next\, we show how (un)compensated elasticities of labor supply can be bounded directly from the ETI estimands\, or point identified by combining these estimands with estimates of earnings responses to lottery winnings. The results suggest an (un)compensated elasticity of 0.1 (0.0) for middle-income individuals. The (un)compensated elasticity estimates increase steadily with income to around 0.45 (0.3) for high-income individuals. These findings imply a substantial excess burden of taxation\, and that reducing top-income tax rates would increase tax revenue. Our findings are also informative about how the intertemporal elasticity of substitution and the Frisch elasticity vary across the income distribution.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:7th Annual Creating Community Conference
DESCRIPTION:*Note: The Institute for the Humanities will cover the registration fee for any faculty\, staff or graduate students interested in attending a single day or all three days of the conference. Please contact the Institute staff at humin@umich.edu to coordinate the registration process.*\n\nThe Creating Community Conference brings together artists and professionals from progressive art studios* across the United States and beyond\, along with professionals active in disability arts\, rights\, and theory\, to discuss best practices\, advocacy\, and the evolving landscape of art and disability. This annual event\, a Creative Growth initiative launched in Oakland\, CA in 2019\, aims to foster dialogue and collaboration around the importance of inclusive creative spaces for artists with developmental disabilities and mental health differences. \n\nThis year's conference will be hosted in Detroit and Ann Arbor Michigan\, and is locally organized and led by the Progressive Art Studio Collective (PASC)\, with support from the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities\, and Library Street Collective. National administration and strategic support is being provided by Creative Growth\, in collaboration with the Progressive Art Studio Alliance (PASA). \n\nCCC7 invites both internal (studio staff and artists) and external (general public) audiences to engage with the art and practice of progressive art studios. The conference covers a range of topics from hands-on studio practice\, exhibiting\, collecting and representing artists with disabilities\, self-taught art\, outsider art\, disability studies\, mental-health\, radical pedagogy and more\, expanding the conversation on platforming the creative production of marginalized communities\, opening up the art world to disabled artists\, and the transformative power of art. \n\nMonday\, October 5\, 2026: Arrival Day\n+5:00-6:30PM:+ Welcome gathering and drinks at Father Forgive Me\, Little Village\, Detroit\n+6:45-7PM:+ Welcome Dinner Coriander Kitchen or TBD Restaurant in Little Village  \n\nView the full schedule and register at https://myumi.ch/qwVRX.
