SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Illuminating the Dark Sector with Strong Gravitational Lensing
DESCRIPTION:Gravitational lensing is a tool uniquely suited to studying the dark sector. Because its observable properties depend on all mass between the observer and source\, regardless of how that mass interacts with light\, lensing enables the study of total mass distributions from subplanetary to cosmological scales. To interpret strong lensing observations in the context of dark sector physics\, they must typically be compared to cosmological simulations. This comparison is particularly challenging for the cluster strong lensing problem due to the simultaneous requirements for large simulation volume and high resolution\, and the large modeling effort required for each lensing system. As a result\, most existing constraints from strong lensing rely on analytic approximations\, or theoretical predictions that do not account for effects such as line-of-sight structure\, selection effects\, or the systematics of mass modeling in observations. In this talk I will discuss how we can bridge the gap between observations and cosmological simulations\, using a particular tension in the abundance of galaxy-galaxy strong lenses in cluster fields as an illustrative example. I will then discuss what the future holds for dark sector inference as JWST\, Euclid\, LSST\, and Roman revolutionize both the resolution and statistical power of strong lensing observables.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Fall Seminar Series: Global Perspectives on  Culture & Health (Shinobu Kitayama)
DESCRIPTION:RCGD Fall 2026 Seminar Series: Global Perspectives on Culture & Health\, meets Mondays 3:30 to 5 at ISR Thompson 6050.\n\nGlobal Perspectives on Culture and Health explores fundamental aspects of human life.  Culture facilitates human interaction by providing meaning to lived experience. Accounting for culture in both theories and methods potentially advances the study of health by connecting the macro and micro levels of human experience. Yet\, culture should be understood as dynamic and complex. It fundamentally shapes individuals and simultaneously is shaped by individuals.  The importance of systematically attending to culture includes topics of values\, language\, immigration\, and society.\n\nTheories and methods that incorporate culture hold great potential for advancing the understanding of health outcomes and health trajectories in various global contexts.\n\nThe speakers for this series will focus on various aspects of culture and diverse groups living in the U.S. and across the globe to address the ways in which attending to culture helps clarify and overcome challenges to good health.\n\nThe Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. The seminar series runs every semester on a theme chosen by faculty organizer/s who are affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the Institute for Social Research. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent themes have included political polarization\, evolution and human behavior\, and cultural psychology.\n\nThese events are held Mondays from 3:30 to 5.\nIn person: ISR Thompson 6050\, unless otherwise specified.\nOrganized by Kristine Ajrouch and Sela Panapasa\nEvents are not recorded.

SUMMARY:Performance:How to Disagree Better: A Forum with Governors Spencer Cox and Governor Lujan Grisham
DESCRIPTION:Disagree Better\, in partnership with the University of Michigan\, will bring together Governors from across the political spectrum for a panel discussion on reviving America’s democracy through healthy conflict and constructive dialogue. \n\nKicking off the University of Michigan’s Democracy Week as the keynote event\, and in the lead-up to the November 2026 elections\, the conversation will highlight our shared civic values and spotlight leaders modeling disagreement as a civic skill. At a time when higher education is often the epicenter of polarization\, this partnership offers a tangible way to model constructive conflict resolution and champion civic engagement in our Leaders. \n\nThe event offers students and members of the University community an opportunity to engage directly with elected leaders who are disagreeing better and charting a new path for democracy\, one characterized by passion\, determination\, dignity\, and respect.\n\nEvent is free to the public\, but advance registration (open 8/13/26) is required by using the Related Link on this page.
