SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Tuesday Seminar Series - Integrating genomic\, morphological\, and paleontological data to unravel macroevolutionary drivers of morphological diversity in fishes
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of our ongoing Tuesday Seminar Series.\n\nAbout the seminar: Perhaps one of the most apparent\, yet captivating\, natural phenomena is the diversity of shape and form which has evolved on Earth. Morphological evolution is shaped by numerous factors across multiple biological scales\, yet there is still much to be discovered using novel techniques and integrative approaches. By combining insights from phylogenetic comparative methods\, paleoclimatic models\, geometric morphometrics\, and comparative transcriptomics\, my dissertation research provides a multi-faceted approach to understanding the factors (ecological\, environmental\, and genetic) contributing to the evolution of body size and shape in fishes. In Chapter 1\, I use paleoclimate data in conjunction with a newly inferred phylogeny based on both extant and fossil species to examine how past ocean temperature is correlated with body size in fishes\, finding strong support for increasing body size over time in relation to decreasing oceanic temperatures. In Chapter 2\, I utilize data from three-dimensional CT scans of both fossil and extant species to investigate widescale drivers of morphological evolution in relation to habitat and key innovations. I find that the evolution of the beak in tetraodontiform fishes (pufferfishes\, ocean sunfishes\, and allies) promotes rapid morphological evolution in the skull and may be a pivotal innovation that has enabled these fishes to expand into new ecological and dietary niches. Lastly\, in Chapter 3\, I employ comparative transcriptomics and differential expression analyses to investigate genetic convergence of body size reduction on a macroevolutionary scale and identify several candidate genes involved in miniaturization in goby fishes. Overall\, my research provides new insights into the large-scale processes and dynamics which have shaped the evolution of morphological diversity.

SUMMARY:Fair / Festival:Faculty Engineering/Arts Student Teams (FEAST) Project Fair
DESCRIPTION:The Faculty Engineering/Arts Student Teams (FEAST) program is open to all undergraduate and graduate students and currently offers 20 opportunities to engage with a wide variety of faculty-led research projects with a collaborative interdisciplinary student team for course credit — starting in Winter 2025.  \n\nFEAST research projects span some combination of the arts\, design\, engineering\, information\, and technology\, leading to activities\, skills\, and outcomes that are creative\, innovative\, and transformative. The FEAST application opens Sept. 6 with a deadline of Oct. 13. \n\nThe FEAST Project Fair gives students the opportunity to ask questions of faculty and students currently working on these projects.\n\nLearn more: artsengine.umich.edu

SUMMARY:Performance:Julie Zhu\, carillon
DESCRIPTION:Julie Zhu\, President's Postdoctoral Fellow\, performs on the Charles Baird Carillon\, an instrument of 53 bronze bells located inside the Burton Memorial Tower. The largest bell\, which strikes the hour\, weighs 12 tons\, while the smallest bell\, 4½ octaves above\, weighs just 15 pounds.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Charles Baird Carillon at noon every weekday that classes are in session\, followed by visitor Q&A with the carillonist. 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). Earplugs are available from the carillonist upon request. 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: https://smtd.umich.edu/facilities/ann-and-robert-h-lurie-carillon/

SUMMARY:Meeting:LingAMod
DESCRIPTION:The language across modalities discussion group provides a space for students\, faculty\, and community members to discuss research that spans the modes of human communication -- speech\, sign\, gesture\, and more. Our group meets to discuss research articles and to informally present ongoing research. All meetings have captioning or ASL-English interpreting.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | On Some Popular Views about the Chinese Language
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom: \nhttps://myumi.ch/qVE14\n\nThis talk examines some popular views on the Chinese language. For example\, many believe that\, because each English word has many affixed forms\, English has many times more words than Chinese. In addition\, because English has more words\, it can express ideas more clearly than Chinese. Moreover\, because Chinese cannot express ideas clearly\, it requires more mental effort to read Chinese. To verify such views\, a detailed comparison is made between a modern English dictionary and a modern Chinese dictionary. It is found that they have similar numbers of roots (unaffixed words) and similar numbers of lexical entries. In addition\, most English affixes have a Chinese counterpart\, which means Chinese does not lack the ingredients to express whatever subtle meanings English can. There is a major difference between the two languages though: Chinese tends to omit all redundant information\, while English often must repeat it. The difference does not always make English clearer but may introduce additional confusions.\n   \nSan Duanmu is Professor of Linguistics\, University of Michigan. He received his PhD in Linguistics from MIT in 1990 and has held teaching posts at Fudan University\, Shanghai (1981-1986) and the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor (1991-present). His research focuses on general properties of language\, especially those in phonology. \n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at chinese.studies@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
