SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Environments\, Empire\, and More-than-Human Histories
DESCRIPTION:The “environment” is often treated as the background against which human histories unfold: a passive setting for state formation\, migration\, violence\, and social change. Samuel Dolbee’s work challenges this assumption by asking us to consider how borders\, disease\, landscapes\, and ecological systems actively shape the histories of empire and everyday life. In his work \, Dolbee shows how environmental forces were not merely acted upon by states and empires\, but became entangled in the making of borders\, regimes of control\, and imperial knowledge.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:IOE 101: Miguel Retto \"Launching a Fulfilling Life and Career\"
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Miguel will explore the idea of \"finding purpose\" by sharing his journey from an IOE student to a consultant at PwC. He will dive deep into the lessons he learned through humbling moments on stadium stages\, overcoming severe academic and personal hurdles\, and navigating corporate culture after leaving college life. As he explores these lessons and offers expert advice on the challenges young professionals face\, he will ask the fundamental questions about what it takes to build a happy\, fulfilling life and career.

SUMMARY:Performance:Kathleen Beck\, carillon
DESCRIPTION:Kathleen 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:Well-being:Lunchtime Yoga
DESCRIPTION:Lunchtime yoga is an opportunity to provide your body with some gentle movement\, strengthening\, stretching and balancing.  We will use the poses to reconnect with your senses\, to breathe some life back into ourselves\, find internal balance and to recover from the efforts of the work week.  The focus is on calm reconnection with ourselves rather than working out.  Please bring a mat and a water bottle. Register on our website\, see link below.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MCDB Seminar Series> The Price of Protection: Molecular Control of Plant Growth and Defense
DESCRIPTION:Defense comes at a cost\, and in plants that cost can be strikingly visible. Elevated defense is often accompanied by reduced growth\, delayed development\, and lower seed production. Plants manage this growth–defense balance in part through jasmonate\, a lipid-derived hormone produced in response to wounding and insect attack. Jasmonate acts as a molecular glue between an F-box protein and a family of transcriptional repressors\, triggering their degradation and thereby activating defense gene expression. I will describe how this signaling mechanism is translated into transcriptional and physiological outputs\, and what happens when its components are perturbed. I will show how genetic dissection of this pathway reveals a tight coupling between growth and defense\, how the conserved Mediator kinase CDK8 regulates jasmonate-dependent transcription\, and how nutrient availability shapes the deployment of particular defense programs. Together\, these findings illustrate how plants integrate hormone signaling\, transcriptional regulation\, and nutrient availability to balance the competing demands of growth and defense.\n\nBio:\nUniversity Distinguished Professor\, MSU Foundation Professor\, Member\, National Academy of Sciences\, Fulbright U.S. Scholar\n\nResearch: Molecular and Biochemical Basis of Plant-Insect Interactions\nResearch in our laboratory is aimed at understanding how plants respond to insect herbivory and other forms of wound stress. We use both tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) as experimental model systems for three related areas of investigation: (1) we are elucidating the mechanism of synthesis and action of the plant hormone jasmonate\; (2) we are studying how jasmonate-regulated defensive compounds thwart insect attack\; and (3) we are studying the development and metabolic function of glandular trichomes in tomato. These projects provide training in several areas of modern plant biology\, including: analysis of protein-protein and receptor-hormone interactions\; transcriptional networks\; plant development\; genetics of plant-insect interactions\; protein biochemistry/proteomics\; metabolism and metabolomics\; and crop improvement for insect resistance.

SUMMARY:Presentation:NERS Colloquium: Arms Control with protons and neutrons: on the ground and in the sky
DESCRIPTION:Areg Danagoulian will explore how nuclear physics can provide new tools for arms control and treaty verification\, from neutron-based techniques for authenticating nuclear warheads to the use of cosmic-ray protons to verify the absence of nuclear weapons in space. His work connects fundamental nuclear physics with practical challenges in international security and nonproliferation.\n\nAreg Danagoulian is an Associate Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering at MIT. He did his PhD research in Experimental Nuclear Physics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Areg’s PhD thesis focused on experiments that used real Compton scattering on the proton at 2-6 GeV\, allowing to probe the proton's internal structure and understand how it couples to external excitations. After his PhD Areg worked at Los Alamos as a postdoctoral researcher\, and then as a senior scientist at Passport Systems\, Inc. (PSI). At PSI Areg focused on the development of Prompt Neutron from Photofission (PNPF) technique\, which allows to rapidly detect shielded fissionable materials in the commercial cargo traffic. Areg's current research interests focus on nuclear physics applications in nuclear security\, such areas nuclear nonproliferation\, technologies for treaty verification\, nuclear safeguards\, and cargo security.\n\nProf. Danagoulian's research has earned him and his research team a number of important awards\, such as:\n\nFellow of the American Physical Society\, Forum on Physics and Society (2025). Citation: “For seminal technological contributions in the field of arms control and cargo security\, which significantly benefit international security.”\n\nArms Control Association’s Arms Control Person(s) of the Year award\, “For developing an innovative new nuclear disarmament verification process using neutron beams\,” 2020. \n\nAmerican Nuclear Society Radiation Science and Technology Award\, “For technology-critical contributions exploiting nuclear resonance phenomena for warhead verification in nuclear disarmament and nuclear detection techniques in cargo security\,” 2019\n\nThe NERS Colloquia Series invites leading researchers\, industry experts\, and thought leaders from across the nuclear engineering and radiological sciences community to share their insights with students\, faculty\, and guests. Covering a wide range of topics—from cutting-edge research and emerging technologies to policy\, education\, and professional development—the weekly talks offer an opportunity to explore current issues and innovations shaping the future of the field.
