SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CANCELED: Making Sense of the American South through Baking
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED\, but we plan to reschedule for Fall 2026.\n\nBiscuits\, cornbread\, hot rolls\, mile-high cakes\, steaming cobblers — southern baking holds a towering place in the realm of American cookery. Founded on Native American\, English\, and African traditions\, and raised in a hot\, humid climate\, southern baking developed in distinctive ways. We'll talk about how southerners over four centuries have shaped their baking around corn and flour and made it their own. Historian Rebecca Sharpless gives the first biennial Longone Memorial Lecture. Lemonade and light refreshments will be served. Join us in person or via Zoom (https://myumi.ch/P3P5z).\n\nRebecca Sharpless writes on the intersections of food\, women\, and work in the American South. Her most recent books are \"Grain and Fire: A History of Baking in the American South\" and \"People of the Wheat: Culture and Cultivation in North Texas.\" She is professor of history at Texas Christian University.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Irwin Pollack Lecture | Audiovisual Perception of Speech: Evidence of A Primitive Integrative Function
DESCRIPTION:How does a listener benefit from observing a talker visually? This classic problem of perception in practical work situations was introduced in a study by Sumby & Pollack in 1954. Their question remains vital. Their account calibrated a perceiver’s ability to take advantage at every degree of intelligibility of an opportunity to view the talker. Today’s accounts often treat a perceiver as a deaf viewer bound to a blind listener\, puzzling through the differing phonetic impressions which result from such different sensory opportunities. Other accounts suppose that the incommensurate dimensions of visual and auditory sensation are recoded into a hypothetically common amodal metric to permit phonetic analysis. Almost every account derives its evidence from small inventories of test items presented under minimal uncertainty\, and consider the role of phoneme incidence to guide perceptual analysis. I will discuss new evidence from our laboratory of intelligible audiovisual presentation of speech\, using auditory and visual components which are unintelligible presented individually. Perceivers reported their impressions of the utterances in open set transcription under minimally constrained conditions of uncertainty. Such phenomena are consistent with primitive intersensory combination on which perceptual analysis of audiovisual speech might truly depend.\n\nAbout the speaker: \nRobert E. Remez is Professor of Psychology at Barnard College\, Columbia University\, where he has taught since 1980. A native New Yorker\, Robert was a Predoctoral Research Trainee at Haskins Laboratories in New Haven\, and received the doctorate in 1978 from the University of Connecticut. He received the Bachelor of Arts degree in 1971 from Brandeis University. At Barnard\, he has held an Ann Whitney Olin Chair\, has been Chair of the Departments of Psychology and Sociology\, and is Chair of the Columbia University Seminar on Language & Cognition. He is co-editor of both the first and second edition of the Handbook of Speech Perception\, and was Associate Editor of the journals Perception & Psychophysics and the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance. In service to the research community\, he was a member of the Committee of Visitors for the Social\, Behavioral and Economic Sciences of the National Science Foundation\, and was a sitting member of the Communication Sciences Study Section of the Division of Research Grants and the Language and Communication Study Section of the Center for Scientific Review of the National Institutes of Health. He has been elected a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America\, the Association for Psychological Science\, the American Psychological Association\, the American Association for the Advancement of Science\, and the Psychonomic Society. The Speech Perception Lab at Barnard has been supported by grants from the National Institute of Mental Health\, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke\, the National Science Foundation\, and a longstanding grant from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Journey Lecture with Tim Johnson\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:The Biostatistics Department is happy to present Journey Lectures\, which are light-hearted\, non-technical talks by distinguished Biostatistics faculty describing their career paths.\nJoin us on Friday\, April 17 to learn about the journey taken to Michigan Biostatistics by Tim Johnson\, PhD. \nDiscover how Tim's journey in biostatistics began in California\, where he studied mathematics at UC Riverside\, worked as a software engineer\, and later earned his PhD in Biostatistics at UCLA. Learn how those early years — spanning mathematics\, computing\, and collaborative research in radiological sciences and biomathematics — helped shape a career devoted to Bayesian methods\, statistical image analysis\, spatial modeling\, and biomedical data science. Hear how that path eventually brought him to Michigan Biostatistics\, where his work has continued to bridge statistical innovation\, interdisciplinary research\, and a deep commitment to mentoring and academic leadership.\nThe lecture will begin at 2:00 pm in 1690 SPH I.\nRefreshments will be served from 1:30 pm - 2:00 pm in the adjoining 1680 SPH I prior to the start of the presentation.\nPlease arrive early enough to help yourself to refreshments and to find your seat.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:T.REX
DESCRIPTION:With stunning CGI visuals and the latest research from leading paleontologists\, the film offers audiences a fresh perspective on the GOAT (Greatest Of All Tyrants): Tyrannosaurus rex. Anchored by the true story of the young fossil hunters who made the discovery of a lifetime when they spotted a large fossilized leg bone on a walk on public lands in North Dakota\, T. REX intercuts the remarkable fossil dig\, with cutting edge computer graphics that bring the iconic T. rex to life—from hatchling to hulking adult. Narrated by Jurassic Park actor Sam Neill\, T. REX explores the newest science that has helped reinvent our understanding of the iconic predator.
