SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Positive Links Speaker Series: The Doors You Can Open: Networking\, Building Trust\, and Using Your Influence to Create a More Inclusive Workplace\nRosalind Chow\nTuesday\, October 28\, 2025\n3:00 - 4:00 p.m. ET\nFree and open to all\, registration required\nIn-Person & Online Options Available\n\nEvent link: https://myumi.ch/R3dr6\n\nPositive Links:\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations\, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk:\nMentors talk to you\, sponsors talk about you. \n\nDrawing from her research on power\, status\, and social hierarchy and experience building executive leadership programming\, Dr. Chow transforms our understanding of networking and career advancement by differentiating sponsorship from mentorship. She will discuss the core ideas from her book\, \"The Doors You Can Open\,\" sharing how looking for opportunities to be a sponsor – rather than a beneficiary of sponsorship – can change how we approach our relationships\, build trust\, and elevate others\, ourselves\, and our communities.\n\nAbout Chow: \nRosalind Chow is an associate professor of Organizational Behavior and Theory at Carnegie Mellon University. Her research\, teaching\, and writing focus on how we all participate in social systems in ways that have implications for the maintenance or attenuation of inequity. Her current research focuses on how people can use their social connections to elevate others via sponsorship. She uses insights from research to inform the design of executive leadership programming for a variety of clients\, such as Deloitte\, Kaiser Permanente\, and others.\n\nChow holds a BA in Psychology from Columbia University and a PhD in Organizational Behavior from the Stanford Graduate School of Business. She currently lives in Pittsburgh\, PA\, with her husband\, Jeff Galak\, and their two children\, Lia and Simon.\n\nHost:\nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nSeries Sponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and the Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurship for their support of the 2025-26 Positive Links Speaker Series. \n\nSeries Promotional Partners:\nAdditionally\, we thank Ann Arbor SPARK\, the Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division of the Academy of Management\, and the Organization Development and Change (ODC) Division of the Academy of Management for their Positive Links Speaker Series promotional partnerships.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Commutative Algebra Seminar: Local Rings with a Prescribed Completion
DESCRIPTION:The relationship between a Noetherian local ring (R\, m) and its m-adic completion can be surprisingly pathological. While the completion of a regular local ring is always a regular local ring\, Nagata gave an example of a normal local ring with non-reduced completion. As Heitmann showed\, there are even unique factorization domains with this property. These rings are quite hard to describe\, however\, and for good reason! Essentially any local ring that one can write down will be **excellent**\, meaning that properties like reducedness and normality are shared by the ring and its completion. We discuss a set of highly non-constructive techniques\, developed my Heitmann and others\, to study the fine details of the relationship between a ring and its completion\, allowing us to answer questions such as ``which rings are the completion of an integral domain?'' Lastly\, we mention a conjectural application of these techniques to the deformation of perfectoid purity in Gorenstein rings.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2025 David Noel Freedman Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the 2025 David Noel Freedman Lecture with Laura Nasrallah from Yale University\, Department of Religious Studies\; Divinity School\n\nSome translate it “justification\,” some “righteousness.” The Greek word dikaiosynē\, found often in the letters of Paul\, can also be understood in terms of justice. This lecture explores ideas of justice in the ancient world\, focusing on acts of “magic”: on curses carved into lead and on curses within Paul’s letters. From Mediterranean antiquity and the letters of Paul\, we move to larger questions about ritual and practice\, about definitions of magic and of scripture\, and about how people seek justice\, whether in Mediterranean antiquity or in our own times.\n\nMichigan League\, Henderson Room\, 3rd Floor\nTuesday\, October 28th\, 4 - 6pm\n\nRegistration is requested but not required- https://myumi.ch/Mkmj6\nLight refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Advancing RNA Structural Biology and Therapeutics: Integrating Physical and Data-Driven Computational Approaches
DESCRIPTION:Emerging biomedical advances from precision medicine to synthetic biology highlight RNA's central role as both a regulator and an information carrier. Since RNA function depends on its 3D structure and conformational changes\, research in this area focuses on the study of RNA structure along with its folding stability\, kinetics\, and interactions with metal ions and other molecules. Key questions include: How can the native fold be predicted from the sequence? For a given RNA target\, how can RNA-small molecule interactions be predicted and potential drug candidates identified? Developing computational tools to address these questions remains challenging due to limited RNA structural and binding data. To predict 3D structure from sequence\, we developed the Vfold pipeline by integrating statistical analysis of RNA structures and molecular dynamics simulations. The Vfold approach showed highly promising results at the international CASP16 competition for biomolecular structure predictions. To design RNA-targeted drugs\, we developed the RLDOCK and SPRank pipelines for physics-based and data-driven predictions of ligand-RNA interactions. These models may become useful tools for understanding the structure-based mechanism of RNA function and for accelerating RNA-targeted therapeutic discovery.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Physics at the Intersection of AMO and Plasmas
DESCRIPTION:Two assumptions at the heart of standard plasma theory are that the plasma is weakly coupled in the sense that the potential energy of Coulomb interactions is weak compared to the kinetic energy\, and that the plasma is weakly magnetized in the sense that the gyroradii of particles are large compared to the Debye length. A focus of my research group is to extend plasma kinetic theories to treat conditions of strong Coulomb coupling\, strong magnetization\, or both. The work is largely motivated by topics in dense plasmas\, like inertial confinement fusion or dense astrophysical objects like white dwarfs or stellar interiors. However\, conditions of strong coupling and/or strong magnetization can also be created using table-top scale experiments developed in the AMO field. These have the advantage of a controlled and well-diagnosed platform to test the models. In this talk I will describe two categories of experiments (conducted by others) that we have used to validate our theories. The first is ultracold neutral plasmas. These are plasmas created in cold-atom traps (MOTs)\, where a plasma is produced by laser ionization and diagnosed using laser-induced fluorescence. These experiments produce strongly coupled plasmas in a charge-neutral state. The second is non-neutral plasmas confined in Penning traps. These are strongly magnetized plasmas that can range from weak to strong coupling. The past work has been productive\, but there is much more that could be done through collaboration between AMO and plasma physicists.\n\nBio:\nScott Baalrud is a Professor in Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences at the University of Michigan.
