SUMMARY:Other:Summer Recording Session\, July 29th 1PM - 7PM
DESCRIPTION:Come join us for our weekly summer recording sessions! Absolutely no experience necessary\, just bring your passion for music and let us help you bring your ideas to life!\n \n(for example studio time can include: working on a pre-fleshed out plan on the digital audio workstation\, coming in with an instrument to record audio\, just having a ~vague~ idea in your head and wanting somewhere to put it\, humming a melody and letting us bring it to life\, chatting about music\, chatting about wolverine records\, just chatting in general\, etc- the sky is the limit!)\n \nJoin our GroupMe for the most recent news and updates!\nhttps://groupme.com/join_group/108686257/96ch6x87

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Comillas Group Advising Session
DESCRIPTION:This Comillas Group Advising session is for students applying to study abroad in Winter 2027. We recommend attending sessions earlier in the summer if possible.  If you are still comparing or exploring options\, you may benefit from meeting with an IPE peer advisor or scheduling a 1:1 advising appointment with the Comillas Advisor.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:T.REX
DESCRIPTION:With stunning CGI visuals and the latest research from leading paleontologists\, the film offers audiences a fresh perspective on the GOAT (Greatest Of All Tyrants): Tyrannosaurus rex. Anchored by the true story of the young fossil hunters who made the discovery of a lifetime when they spotted a large fossilized leg bone on a walk on public lands in North Dakota\, T. REX intercuts the remarkable fossil dig\, with cutting edge computer graphics that bring the iconic T. rex to life—from hatchling to hulking adult. Narrated by Jurassic Park actor Sam Neill\, T. REX explores the newest science that has helped reinvent our understanding of the iconic predator.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sky Tonight
DESCRIPTION:A live presentation on what to find in the sky tonight and for the coming few weeks. This presentation includes how to find the cardinal directions with the North Star\, current and upcoming constellations\, visible planets\, a few deep sky objects depending on the season\, and other interesting astronomical visualizations. If you want to be able to look up from your own backyard and know what to look for\, this is the show for you.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Wilson Center Tour July 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a guided tour of the Wilson Student Team Project Center\, a dynamic hands-on engineering space where University of Michigan students bring ambitious ideas to life. During the tour\, visitors will explore the workshops\, collaboration areas\, and project bays used by student teams to design\, build\, test\, and refine innovative vehicles\, devices\, and systems.\nThe tour highlights how the Wilson Center supports experiential learning\, teamwork\, creativity\, and problem-solving outside the traditional classroom. Guests will learn about the student organizations and project teams that use the facility\, see examples of current and past projects\, and gain insight into the tools\, resources\, and support available to help students turn concepts into real-world solutions.Closed toe shoes are encouraged (lots of places to stub your toe)!\n\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Pettingill Lecture in Natural History: “Beavers: Architects of Climate Resilience”
DESCRIPTION:As part of the 2026 Summer Lecture Series at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS)\, Dr. Emily Fairfax will give the Pettingill Lecture in Natural History. The free\, public talk is titled “Beavers: Architects of Climate Resilience.”\n\nFairfax is an assistant professor of geography at the University of Minnesota and an affiliate faculty member at the Saint Anthony Falls Laboratory.\n\nShe uses a combination of remote sensing\, modeling\, and field work to understand how beaver ecosystem engineering can create drought and fire-resistant patches in the landscape under a changing climate. \n\nBeaver dams and beaver mimicry (e.g. Beaver Dam Analogs) are gaining popularity as a low‐cost\, nature-based strategy to build climate resiliency at the landscape scale.\n\nHere in the Great Lakes Region\, we are experiencing wetter winters\, hotter and drier summers\, flashier storms\, and a longer frost-free season.\n\nBeaver ecosystem engineering can help mitigate some of these impacts on local to watershed scales.\n\nBeavers slow and store water in their ponds\, canals\, and the surrounding soil during flood periods which can then be accessed by riparian vegetation during droughts.\n\nAs a result\, the well-watered vegetation in beaver-dammed riparian corridors is less flammable. \n\nFairfax’s research has shown that these beaver-influenced patches of the landscape stay green and can serve as climate refugia\, preserving intact\, mature riparian habitat\, even during extreme drought and fire.\n\nShe suggests that perhaps instead of relying solely on human engineering and management to create and maintain healthy waterways and riparian zones\, humans could benefit from partnering with beaver’s ecosystem engineering to achieve the same goals at a lower cost. \n\nFairfax double majored in chemistry and physics as an undergraduate at Carleton College\, then went on to earn a Ph.D. in geological sciences with an emphasis in hydrologic sciences from the University of Colorado Boulder.\n\nHer research has been featured internationally in National Geographic\, the New York Times\, the LA Times\, PBS\, NPR\, BBC\, and others. When Fairfax says she can talk about beavers all day\, she’s not kidding.\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.
