SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Michael Woodroofe Lecture Series: Trevor Hastie\, Professor Emeritus of Statistics\, Professor Emeritus of Biomedical Data Science\, Department of Statistics\, Department of Biomedical Data Science\, Stanford University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In this talk\, we introduce \"UniLasso\" -- a novel statistical method for sparse regression. This two-stage approach preserves the signs of the univariate coefficients and leverages their magnitude. Both of these properties are attractive for stability and interpretation of the model. Through comprehensive simulations and applications to real-world datasets\, we demonstrate that UniLasso outperforms Lasso in various settings\, particularly in terms of sparsity and model interpretability. Extensions to generalized linear models (GLMs) and Cox regression are also discussed.\n\nThis is joint work with Sourav Chatterjee and Rob Tibshirani.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Synthesis\, Structure and Applications of Highly Microporous Organic Materials
DESCRIPTION:Porous organic polymers represent a rare class of materials that combine high internal surface area with broad-spectrum chemical stability. These features make them attractive for applications where surface-guest interactions and durability dictate performance\, including corrosive gas storage\, water purification\, energy storage\, and catalysis. In many cases\, performance can be improved by fine-tuning bulk microporosity\, yet factors affecting this key property remain poorly understood. This seminar describes efforts to identify how synthetic pathways shape microporosity in amorphous porous networks. Using a network disassembly approach\, we show that pathway-dependent porosity is largely driven by defects arising from incomplete cross-linking. Implications for synthetic design and selected biomedical applications of highly microporous organic polymers will also be discussed.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman\, Award-winning Economist\, Speaker\, and Author
DESCRIPTION:A reception and book signing will take place in the Rebecca M. Blank Great Hall after the talk. The first 50 attendees at the event will receive a free copy of “The Double Tax: How Women of Color Are Overcharged and Underpaid.”\n\nIf you will be attending virtually\, please join the livestream here: https://youtu.be/Bigk4Q1vMM8\n\nSPEAKERS:\nAnna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman\nAward-winning Economist\, Speaker\, and Author\n\nCortney Sanders\n2026 Twink Frey Visiting Social Activist (TFVSA)\n\nYou've probably heard of the pink tax—that additional price women pay to exist in the same world as men. Now meet the double tax\, the compounded cost of racism and sexism\, or the pink tax and then some.\n\n\"The Double Tax\" dares to ask why it’s so expensive to be a woman in America and why it doesn’t have to be this way. Throughout the book\, Anna Gifty reveals that women spend more money\, time\, and effort than men across areas like beauty\, motherhood\, and career\, and that Black and white women lead vastly different lives. These differences\, highlighted through hundreds of conversations and countless studies\, reveal that the clearest path forward to reducing costs for all women is to ensure that no woman is left behind.\n\n“The Double Tax: How Women of Color Are Overcharged and Underpaid\,” her second book\, explores the costs women face\, why the bill runs higher for women of color\, and why closing the gaps helps everyone.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Composer Johanny Navarro and Librettist Marcus Yi
DESCRIPTION:Composer Johanny Navarro and librettist Marcus Yi present a guest artist master class\, kicking off their week-long residency with SMTD OperaLab and Voice & Opera\, in preparation for the orchestral workshop production of Navarro and Yi's new comic opera\, *Working for the Macbeths*. In this master class\, the composer/librettist team will work with several cast members on scenes from the opera and engage in a Q&A session. \n\nThis event is free and open to the public with generous support from the Sally Fleming Master Class Series.  \n\n*Working for the Macbeths* will have two performances\, at 7:30 pm on April 10 and 11 in McIntosh Theatre\, with Jayce Ogren conducting and Chía Patiño directing.\n\nABOUT THE GUEST ARTISTS\n\nPuerto Rican-born composer JOHANNY NAVARRO creates music inspired by Afro-Caribbean aesthetics\, blending vibrant rhythms with contemporary forms. Her works span opera\, orchestral\, and chamber music\, with commissions from the Multicultural Music Group\, Inc.\, Boston Opera Collaborative\, The Victory Players\, American Harp Society\, Inc.\, and Emory University Symphony Orchestra. Acclaimed for her operatic achievements\, she received Opera America’s Discovery Grant for *¿Y los Pasteles?* (2022) and was a finalist in Atlanta Opera's \"96-Hour Opera Project\" with *Atlanta: 1906* with libretto by Deborah D.E.E.P Mouton. As the Schwartz Artist-in-Residence\, she premiered *Marejada de los muertos* (2023). Navarro is currently developing *Working for the Macbeths* (2022) with librettist Marcus Yi.\n\nMARCUS YI is an award-winning theatre writer/composer/director\, and performer based in New York. Marcus was an inaugural member of the 92nd Street Y Musical Theater Development Lab Collective\, a 2021-2022 New Victory LabWorks Artist\, and a Resident Artist with the American Lyric Theater. He has been commissioned by The Kennedy Center\, Queens Council on the Arts\, Yangtze Rep\, the EST / Sloan Project\, First Stage\, Really Spicy Opera\, Atlanta Opera\, and American Lyric Theater. He is a NYSCA / NYFA Artist Fellowship Awardee (2025)\, NYSCA Support for Artists Grantee (2022\, 2024)\, and Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Creative Engagement Grantee (2019\, 2023).\n\nWORKING FOR THE MACBETHS\n\nComposer: Johanny Navarro | Librettist: Marcus Yi\n\nCommissioned by American Lyric Theater\nLawrence Edelson\, Artistic and General Director\nKelly Kuo\, Associate Artistic Director\n\n*Working for the Macbeths was developed under the auspices of the Composer Librettist Development Program at American Lyric Theater in New York City\, which is made possible through lead funding from the Mellon Foundation\, the Howard Gilman Foundation\, the Dubose and Dorothy Heyward Memorial Trust\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the New York State Council on the Arts\, and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.*\n\nWORKING FOR THE MACBETHS will receive its world premiere at Pittsburgh Opera on February 27\, 2027.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Donia Human Rights Center and Weiser Diplomacy Center Lecture | Addressing Human Rights and Democracy: The Challenges and Opportunities for Business
DESCRIPTION:In his book *Conscience Incorporated: Pursuing Profits while Protecting Human Rights* https://myumi.ch/JPnR4\, Michael Posner examines the evolving role of large multinational companies in addressing human rights challenges tied to their business models\, in global supply chains\, in the tech sector and among investors. In the first part of this talk he will reflect on these topics. Posner also will address the crisis in democracy in the United States and in many parts of the world. Today societies are increasingly polarized\, fueled in part by social media and now artificial intelligence. Posner will examine this\, the potential for business leaders to support democratic norms and the rule of law\, and why they have been reluctant to exert it.\n\nRSVP here: https://myumi.ch/y1AQV\n   \n   Michael Posner is the Jerome Kohlberg Professor of Ethics and Finance at NYU's Stern School of Business. He is the Director of the Center for Business and Human Rights at the School\, the first-ever human rights center at a business school. Prior to joining NYU Stern\, Michael served in the Obama Administration from 2009-2013 as Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Democracy\, Human Rights and Labor. From 1978 to 2009\, he led Human Rights First\, a New York-based human rights advocacy organization.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at umichhumanrights@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
