SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CHPS Seminar | Reconstructing the properties of the protosolar disk using cosmochemistry
DESCRIPTION:Observations of protoplanetary disks with ALMA have revealed a large diversity of properties\, but also some common tendencies in terms of dust/gas density and radial extension ratios\, as well as the appearance of features like rings and gaps or cavities. It is too late to observe the proto-solar disk\, but many of its properties can be inferred from the current distribution of planetesimals and using cosmochemical constraints on the chronology of planetesimal accretion and the isotopic heterogeneity of the disk.  I will review the available data\, which can be used to reconstruct the proto-solar disk. The view that emerges is that of a quite standard disk of about 90 au in gas radius and 45 au in dust radius\, forming planetesimals at two distinct epochs (one of which is very early\, while the disk was presumably still in Class-0 or Class-1 stage) and evolving towards a transition disk at the appearance of Jupiter and Saturn. Similarities and differences with the PDS70 disk will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Student Thesis Defense -  Drier leaves\, more mites: atmospheric moisture shapes investment in a plant–mite mutualism trait in Vitis riparia at the local but not regional scale
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe stress gradient hypothesis predicts that organisms will invest more in mutualistic interactions under increasing abiotic stress. Here\, we examine whether stress associated with reduced atmospheric moisture impacts plant investment in mite domatia\, small structures on leaves that mediate a mutualism between plants and defensive mites using riverbank grape (Vitis riparia). We tested prediction of the stress gradient hypothesis at two scales: a local scale using a humidity gradient created by distance from an island lake\, and a region scale spanning a precipitation gradient across Michigan’s lower peninsula. At each scale\, we measured domatia size\, density\, and abundance\, as well as mite abundance and leaf fungal hyphal load. At the local scale\, domatia trichome density was significantly higher in less humid environments\, consistent with the stress gradient hypothesis\, and mite abundance increased with both humidity and domatia density. At the regional scale\, mite abundance increased significantly with precipitation\, but no relationship was detected between precipitation and any measure of domatia investment or fungal load. Together\, these results suggest that the stress gradient hypothesis partially applies to the plant–mite mutualism in this system\, but that its expression depends on scale and the range of moisture conditions experienced.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:FoRMS: Heavenly Precision and Hidden Machines: Qi Yanhuai and the Clockwork Celestial Globes of Late Imperial China
DESCRIPTION:Please join The Forum for Research in Medieval Studies (FoRMS) on Monday\, April 20th\, in 1014 Tisch for a presentation by Christopher DeCou. This presentation examines the production and pedagogical utility of clockwork celestial globes in late imperial China\, focusing on the work of Qi Yanhuai (1774-1841) to recenter these artifacts from marginal curiosities to scientific instruments. While many histories of Chinese science begin with texts\, this presentation employs a material culture approach—analyzing extant objects alongside contemporary accounts—to recover historical practices of those who built and used these globes.\n\nThese mechanical globes were significant artifacts for their time: they served as platforms for fashioning scholarly identities for both gentry and artisans\, acted as essential tools for disseminating new astronomical theories\, and provided conceptual models for self-organization and automation. By investigating the material traces and social and cultural contexts surrounding Qi’s instruments\, this talk offers two primary interventions. First\, it places Chinese clockwork globes within a global comparative framework of \"polite\" and \"practical\" astronomy\, challenging their status as a horological oddity. Second\, it demonstrates that popular movements were more engaged with imperial astronomy than current historiography would suggest. Ultimately\, this presentation asserts that celestial globes in China can inform us about the changing nature of astronomical knowledge and time measurement and the social value of technical and scientific practices.\n\nChristopher DeCou is a sixth year doctoral candidate in the History department. His dissertation \"The Stars in Their Eyes: Materials for Making Time in the Qing Empire\, 1700–1900\" explores the culture of timekeeping and instrument making in late imperial China. He completed his undergraduate training in Chinese as well as Medieval and Early Modern Studies at the University of Michigan and did his masters at the University of Chicago.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Single Cell Spatial Analysis Monthly Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:TITLE: Simultaneous CRISPR screening and spatial transcriptomics reveals intracellular and intercellular transcriptional circuits.\n\nFEATURING: \nSamouil L. Farhi\, Ph.D.  Director of the Spatial Technology Platform at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard\n\nFor more details Visit: https://singlecellspatialanalysis.umich.edu/monthlyseminarseries/\nZoom Info: \nMeeting ID: 998 7259 4985\nPasscode: 786053\n\nABSTRACT: \nPerturb-FISH combines spatial transcriptomics with optical detection of in situ amplified guide RNAs. Perturb-FISH recovers intracellular effects that are consistent with Perturb-seq results in cultured monocytes\, and finds density-dependent regulation of the innate immune response. Pairing Perturb-FISH with a functional readout in a screen of autism spectrum disorder risk genes\, shows common calcium activity phenotypes in induced pluripotent stem cell derived astrocytes and their associated molecular pathways. Finally\, Perturb-FISH can identify neighborhood dependent perturbation effects in a complex tissue by showing immune-tumor interactions in a xenograft model engrafted with human PBMCs. Perturb-FISH is thus a general method for studying the genetic and molecular associations of spatial and functional biology at single-cell resolution.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Forum for Research in Medieval Studies (FoRMS)
DESCRIPTION:The Forum for Research in Medieval Studies (FoRMS)\, first formed as a\nRackham Interdisciplinary Workshop (RIW) in Fall 2010\, serves as a structure\nfor the Medieval Lunch series and a reading group for graduate students. In its geographical\, historical\, and disciplinary scope\, FoRMS aims to\nprovide an important forum for graduate students and faculty to discuss their\nwork as contributions to the broad field of “medieval studies.” At FoRMS\nsponsored lunches throughout the semester\, graduate students can present their\nongoing research and receive feedback from other members of the FoRMS\ncommunity. FoRMS also sponsors interdisciplinary reading groups and other\nsocial events\, which are organized on a more ad-hoc basis.\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Tiffany Ng\, carillon
DESCRIPTION:University Carillonist Tiffany Ng 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.
