SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Flash Talk | Learning Through Play: Childhood and Textile Craft in Roman Egypt
DESCRIPTION:What can a child’s toy teach us about ancient learning? At Karanis\, small tools reveal how children in Roman Egypt practiced real skills through play.\n\nIn this Flash Talk\, Heidi Hilliker (PhD candidate in U-M’s Department of Middle East Studies) will provide an overview of the Kelsey in Focus case she curated exploring how craft knowledge was passed down within Karanis households.\n\nKelsey Museum Flash Talks are 15-minute Zoom lectures by Kelsey curators\, staff members\, researchers\, graduate students\, and guests talking about their recent research or current projects. Each presentation is followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. Flash Talks are free and open to all visitors.\n\nTo register for this lecture\, fill out the form at https://forms.gle/LhmCEg5EoU2FbVSk7. Zoom log-in information will be provided upon registration. Please sign up by 9:30 AM the day of the event to ensure you receive a confirmation email containing the access code.

DESCRIPTION:Heartfulness Guided Meditation is a weekly\, drop-in program designed to help you Mental well-being. \n\nAll U-M students\, faculty\, and staff are welcome to participate in guided meditation practice with a trainer every Friday at noon over Zoom (details to join are provided below). No prior experience with meditation is required. \n\n*What will you learn?*\n\nThe guided meditation practice involves three simple steps: relaxation\, rejuvenation\, and meditation.\n\nRelaxation brings your body to a calm\, steady posture creating a stillness at the physical level\, and prepares the mind for meditation. We follow this with a rejuvenation method to detox the mind to let go of stress and complex emotions\, and will leave you feeling light and refreshed. Lastly\, learning to meditate by being mindful of your heart will connect you with yourself by listening to your heart’s voice. \n\n*Why Meditate?*\n\nWhile physical fitness keeps our bodies in shape\, meditation is an exercise for the mind and mental wellness. In addition to the measurable benefits mentally and physically\, many people benefit from an unquantifiable inner poise and harmony. \n\n*Please take Learn to Meditate session if you are new to the practice. These sessions are offered Monthly.* https://events.umich.edu/event/128708\n\n*Event Details*\n\nHeartfulness Guided Meditation \nFridays from 12-12:30 p.m. ET (except during university season days / holidays)\nJoin Via Zoom Meeting\nRegister to receive Passcode (see “Related links”\n\n\nThis wellness program is coordinated by ITS Teaching & Learning and provided at no cost by heartfulness.org.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Membrane Protein Folding: What Lipids Do?
DESCRIPTION:My talk addresses two questions regarding how the lipid bilayer environment in cells mediates folding and function of membrane proteins: 1) Is the lipid bilayer a good solvent for the denatured states of membrane proteins? 2) What is the role of lipid solvation in the stability and cooperativity of membrane proteins? We have developed an array of “steric trapping”-based methods to delineate the thermodynamic stability\, conformational features of the denatured states\, and residue interaction network of membrane proteins. Using the intramembrane protease GlpG of E. coli as a model\, we find that the bilayer environment 1) induces contraction but not collapse of the denatured state of GlpG\, 2) enhances the stability of the protein by facilitating the residue burial in the protein interior\, and 3) strengthens the residue-interaction network such that the whole residue-packed regions can act as a single cooperative unit. I will discuss how these properties shed light and cast shadows on the folding\, quality control\, and function of membrane proteins.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Museum Studies Program Virtual Open House for Prospective Students
DESCRIPTION:The Museum Studies Program invites students enrolled in any graduate program at the University of Michigan to apply for the Fall 2026 cohort. This multidisciplinary graduate certificate program draws on ideas from the arts\, humanities\, natural and social sciences\, and technology and provides countless opportunities to apply theories in a vast array of museums and cultural institutions on campus\, in the region\, nationally and around the world.\n\nThe MSP curriculum examines the role of museums in society as sites of memory\, learning\, research\, cultural production\, public scholarship\, civic engagement\, and entertainment. The 12-credit certificate program consists of the Museum Studies Seminar (Fall and Winter terms\, 6 credits)\, approved electives (6 credits)\, and a funded internship. It prepares students for academic and professional careers in museums\, heritage sites\, arboretums\, botanical gardens\, zoos and other living collections\, and universities.\n\nApplication Deadline: February 27\, 2026\n\nApplication information can be found here: https://ummsp.rackham.umich.edu/tribe-event/virtual-open-house-for-prospective-students-3/

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:NERS Colloquium: The Impact of U-M’s First Observation of DT Fusion
DESCRIPTION:Bio:\nMark Chadwick is the Associate Laboratory Director for Los Alamos’ Simulation\, Computing & Theory (ALDSCT) directorate\, advancing the high-performance computing\, algorithms\, and theoretical science that underpin stockpile modernization and broader national security missions and AI and quantum discovery science. He previously served as interim Los Alamos Deputy Director for Science\, Technology & Engineering and as chief scientist/operating officer for Weapons Physics. He also served as program director for National Nuclear Security Administration experimental science programs and as division leader for simulation codes in ALDX.  Chadwick has led the US nuclear data evaluation collaboration Evaluated Nuclear Data Files (ENDF) for almost three decades\, creating the world’s highest-fidelity databases used worldwide in radiation transport codes\, including the Laboratory’s Monte Carlo N-Particle code. Chadwick is an APS\, ANS and LANL Fellow. He has published articles on technical fission and fusion history as well as in nuclear science.\n\nAbstract :\nI describe the history of fusion\, from a crucial breakthrough at Michigan in 1938 (that had been forgotten) through Los Alamos’s pioneering fusion measurements in the 1940s-1950s\, to the modern quest for controlled fusion energy. I will describe how UM’s first observation of DT fusion helped launch Oppenheimer and Teller’s drive for harnessing fusion.  I will also explain how DT fusion created 10^67 J of energy 13.8 billion years ago. \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.
