SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Swap Shop Million Dollar Party
DESCRIPTION:The Lab Swap Shop\, launched in June 2024\, serves as a physical location where excess lab consummables\, glassware\, equipment\, and more can be rehomed within the U-M research community. This reduces waste\, promotes lab safety\, and saves researcher dollars. The shop just passed a major milestone: ONE MILLION DOLLARS saved for researchers as compared to buying new! Join us on February 26th from 1-3pm to celebrate! We will have desserts\, hot beverages\, and air plants while supplies last. Researchers are encouraged to bring donations and take free supplies home with them. Check out our inventory to get an idea of available items!

SUMMARY:Performance:Jessi Grieser\, carillon
DESCRIPTION:LSA faculty member Jessi Grieser performs on the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Carillon\, an instrument of 60 bells with the lowest bell (bourdon) weighing 6 tons.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Lurie Carillon every weekday that classes are in session. During these recitals\, visitors may take the elevator to level 2 to view the largest bells\, or to level 3 to see the carillonist performing. (Visitors subject to acrophobia are recommended to visit level 2 only.) An optional spiral stairway between levels 2 and 3 allows for up-close views of some of the largest bells.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering (BME 500) Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Cellular Mechanisms of Vascular Calcification and Opportunities for Targeted Therapies\n\nAbstract:\nVascular calcification is the major precursor to cardiovascular disease and is further exacerbated by chronic kidney disease. Phosphate is a known precursor to vascular calcification which leads to the onset of CVCs and other complications. Increased serum levels of inorganic phosphate lead to calcification of vascular smooth muscle cells and a phenotypic switch to an osteoblast-like cell. Once thought to be a passive process of calcium and phosphate deposition within arteries\, vascular calcification is now known to be an active\, cell-regulated condition. There is a clinical need to develop a therapy for vascular calcification that reduces calcification without causing arterial damage similar to current therapies such as endovascular stent and atherectomy. We are examining the role of phosphate in vascular smooth muscle cell calcification and the potential of protein therapy to reduce calcification.\n\nBio: \nDr. C. LaShan Simpson Hendrix is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Cincinnati. Before joining the faculty at University of Cincinnati in 2024\, she was an Associate Professor at Mississippi State University (2013 – 2023) and she trained as a postdoctoral research associate at Rice University in the Department of Bioengineering. Dr. Hendrix received all her educational training at Clemson University with a B.S. in Biochemistry\, M.S.\, and Ph.D. In Bioengineering. Dr. Hendrix’s research interests include vascular calcification\, smooth muscle cells\, cell and gene therapy\, and mechanotransduction. Her work has been funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF)\, the National Institutes of Health (NIH)\, and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).\n\nIn addition to her passion for vascular research\, Dr. Hendrix is a student advocate and a champion for diversity and inclusion. She has worked to create inclusive spaces for trainee development and success. She has received numerous awards for her efforts including Teacher of the Year\, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Mississippi State University\, 2018\; Academy of Distinguished Teachers\, Bagley College of Engineering at Mississippi State University\, 2019\; and Excellence in Diversity and Inclusion Award\, Mississippi Institute of Higher Learning\, 2020. Her pride and joy are the diversity of her research lab and the outstanding accomplishments of her trainees. Dr. Hendrix is the founder of BlackWomenInBME and has hosted sessions for her group at the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) Annual meeting since 2018. She is the recipient of the 2021 Biomedical Engineering Society Diversity Award Lecture and the 2025 Mentor Award from the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899:  Martijn IJtsma
DESCRIPTION:Designing for effective collaboration between humans and intelligent machines requires reasoning about the human-machine system as a whole—to uncover how their activities are interdependent and to develop system architectures that support coordination for resilient\, joint performance. In dynamic\, high-consequence domains such as aviation\, space operations\, and disaster response\, successful coordination is about synchronizing interdependent work processes of humans and machines with each other and with physical processes in the work environment. Considering work dynamics and synchrony early in design can help ensure that mechanisms for coordination are designed intentionally. However\, while descriptive models of human-machine interaction dynamics exist\, there is a lack of tooling for designers to explore how the dynamic behavior of human-machine systems is affected by early design decisions.\n\nThis talk discusses Work Models that Compute (WMC)\, a computational work modeling framework that helps designers analyze dynamics and synchrony of human-machine systems early in design. By integrating functional modeling\, work analysis\, and graph theory\, WMC makes explicit the relationships between human cognitive functions and machine algorithms\, highlighting critical dependencies and coordination demands.\n\nDr. IJtsmaI will present two case studies\, one in disaster robotics and one in air traffic management\, to illustrate how computational work models can serve as exploratory tools for envisioning and shaping more effective human–machine systems.
