SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Regenerative biology and engineered tissue models
DESCRIPTION:Advances in the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine require biomaterials that\ninstruct\, rather than simply permit\, a desired cellular response. A major challenge to progress in\nour field is the complex organization of the tissues in our bodies\, which are hierarchical\, vary in\nspace and time\, and can differ person-to person. Prof. Harley’s research program is developing\nbiomaterials that replicate the complex cellular and extracellular microenvironment found in the\ntissues and organs of our body. These include porous\, hydrogel/granular\, and composite\nbiomaterials for musculoskeletal tissue regeneration\, hematopoietic stem cell biomanufacturing\,\nand as model systems to investigate endometrial pathologies and invasive brain cancer. I will\ndescribe efforts using bioinspired design motifs to create composite biomaterials to regenerate\ncraniomaxillofacial bones and musculoskeletal insertions. I will also describe (granular) hydrogel\nmodels to study niche regulation of hematopoietic stem cells and patient-derived glioblastoma\nspecimens. These tools enable study of dynamic processes such as remodeling and multicellular\nsignaling that inform stem cell quiescence as well as brain cancer invasion and drug resistance.\nHowever\, contemporary tissue engineering efforts must also consider patient heterogeneity\,\ngender/sex\, and social factors. Hence\, I will also describe efforts to account for sex differences in\ntissue engineering models as well as to create hierarchical models of the endometrial tissue\nmicroenvironment to investigate endometriosis. These new paradigms are essential for\naccelerating translation of scientific discoveries into innovations that improve our collective quality\nof life.\n\nBiography\nBrendan Harley is the Robert W. Schaefer Professor in the Dept. of Chemical and Biomolecular\nEngineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as well as Program Leader in the\nCancer Center at Illinois. He received a B.S. in Engineering Sciences from Harvard University\, a\nSc.D. in Mechanical Engineering from MIT\, and performed postdoctoral studies at the Joint\nProgram for Transfusion Medicine at Children’s Hospital Boston.\nHis research group develops tissue engineering technologies for musculoskeletal regeneration\,\nhematopoietic stem cell biomanufacturing\, as well as to investigate endometrial pathologies and\ninvasive brain cancer. He is a decorated instructor and helps lead multiple interdisciplinary\nresearch programs at Illinois. Dr. Harley co-founded a regenerative medicine company\,\nOrthomimetics Ltd.\, to commercialize an osteochondral regeneration technology.\nDr. Harley has received a number of awards and honors including an NSF CAREER award (2013)\,\nthe Young Investigator Award (2014) and the Clemson Award for Basic Research (2021) from the\nSociety for Biomaterials\, as well as university research\, teaching\, and promotion awards (U.\nIllinois). He is an elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science\, the\nAmerican Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering\, and the Biomedical Engineering Society.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Revolutionary Paine: Andy Murphy Student-Curated Class Exhibit Common Sense
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense” was one of the most influential works of the American Revolution. The first edition was published on January 10\, 1776\, with an initial print run of just 1\,000 copies\; but within weeks demand soared. The students of Andy Murphy’s POLISCI 495 course co-curated the exhibition “Revolutionary Paine” to document the whirlwind caused by its publication. On view at the Clements January 16-May 8\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

SUMMARY:Performance:Tiffany Ng\, carillon: In Memory of Rev. Jesse Jackson
DESCRIPTION:“I am Somebody!” This was the mantra Reverend Jesse Jackson used to empower generations to recognize their collective genius and fight for civil rights. Following his recent passing\, the Women of Color in the Academy Project (WOCAP) and SMTD invite the campus community to a musical tribute in his honor.\n\nAt noon\, the community will gather in spirit to honor the life and legacy of the Reverend Jesse Jackson. From 12–12:15 pm\, University Carillonist Tiffany Ng will perform a program of reflection and resistance on the 53-bell Charles Baird Carillon.\n\nThe program features anthems deeply rooted in Rev. Jackson’s decades of activism. From the soaring hope of \"Lift Every Voice and Sing\" to the resolute \"We Shall Overcome\,\" these bells serve as a campus-wide call to remember a leader who taught us to \"Keep Hope Alive.\"\n\nAfter concluding with \"Lift Every Voice and Sing\,\" the special program will be followed by carillon compositions by diverse contemporary composers. During the recital\, 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:Exhibition:Watcher of the Sky: Making and Remaking the Detroit Observatory
DESCRIPTION:The Detroit Observatory was once a hub of astronomical discovery that put the University of Michigan on the map as a world-class research institution. A century later\, it was an abandoned building with an uncertain future. From cornerstone to keystone\, from the first director to the people who saved it from destruction\, explore the life of a historic observatory 170 years in the making.\n\n\"Watcher of the Sky\" is being developed by student docents at the Detroit Observatory. Presented by the Judy and Stanley Frankel Detroit Observatory\, part of the Bentley Historical Library.\n\n\"Watcher of the Sky\" is now on display at the Detroit Observatory (1398 Ann Street\, Ann Arbor\, 48109). View the exhibit during the Observatory's open hours:\nThursdays\, 12-5 pm\nFridays\, 12-5 pm

SUMMARY:Performance:Division Street Pipes
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a 30-minute organ recital performed by Nicholas Welch\, master's degree student in sacred music.\n\nDivision Street Pipes concerts features talented students and faculty of the U-M Organ Department on Thursdays at 12:15pm on the Richards-Fowkes organ at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. These 30-minute performances are free and open to the public\, and audience members are invited to enjoy their lunch while listening. \n\nThe series is co-sponsored by the University of Michigan Organ Department and St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in an effort to bring organ music to local audiences while connecting U-M organ students with the wider community.

SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Dialogue and Donuts
DESCRIPTION:Come enjoy a sweet treat and make new friends while testing out U-M's new conversation game\, The Pluralism Playdeck. The Pluralism Playdeck is a low-key scaffolded card game designed to allow university students to practice the soft skills they need to engage in compassionate and honest conversations about hot-button issues across ideological and demographic differences. You'll learn about yourself. You'll learn about others. You'll develop a skill set that will serve you well in both social and professional settings.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Inference on Linear Regressions with Two-Way Unobserved Heterogeneity
DESCRIPTION:We develop a novel estimation and inference procedure for the common parameters in linear panel data regression models with nonparametric two-way specification of unobserved heterogeneity. Our procedure builds on three main components: First\, we develop moment conditions for the common parameters that are Neyman orthogonal with respect to nonparametric component to reduce the effect of the first-step estimation of this. Second\, we develop a novel two-step estimator of the nonparametric component\, where the second step assumes that the nonparametric component is well-proxied by eigenfunctions estimated in the first step. Third\, we develop a novel adjustment of the nonparametric estimator so the estimated eigenfunctions do not generate incidental parameter biases. Together\, these ensure that the resulting estimator of the common parameters is root-NT-asymptotically normally distributed thereby allowing for valid inference on the linear parameters in the model using standard methods. A numerical study shows that the proposed estimators perform well in finite samples.
