SUMMARY:Other:Michigan in Washington Application Deadline-Fall 2026 & Early Admission Winter 2027
DESCRIPTION:Next Deadline: March 9\, 2026\n\nApply on M-Compass\n\nInfo Sessions (6:30 PM ET)\nFebruary 3\, 2027 \n \nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/94400680801\n\nWhat is Michigan in Washington?\nThe Michigan in Washington (MIW) program allows students to spend a full semester (Fall or Winter) in Washington\, D.C. while earning a full semester of Michigan credit at the same tuition rate as Ann Arbor (no transfer credits). If you are worried about your GPA\, please reach out to Amber to discuss (akblomqu). \nStudents work full-time internships four-five days a week that they secure on their own with guidance and support from the MIW program. Additionally\, they take evening elective courses\, leaving weekends free to explore the city. The semester before going to D.C.\, participants take a professional development course focused on internship search strategies\, resumes and cover letters\, and effective networking and interview techniques.\n\nInternship Opportunities\nBecause students choose and secure their own internships\, placements can reflect a wide range of interests. With MIW’s guidance and support\, students have recently interned at:\nCongress & Government: Offices of Rep. Haley Stevens\, Rep. Debbie Dingell\, Sen. Gary Peters\, Sen. Dick Durbin\, Sen. Josh Hawley\nPolicy & Research: Center for Strategic and International Studies\, Wilson Center\, Women’s Congressional Policy Institute\, Northeast-Midwest Institute\, Institute for the Study of War\, Brookings\, \nConsulting & Government Relations: Forbes Tate Partners\, SKDK\, Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck\, Baker Donelson P.C.\, Ferox Strategies\, \nNonprofits & Advocacy: Rock the Vote\, U.S. Global Leadership Coalition\, Guatemala Human Rights Commission\, World Wildlife Fund\, United Nations IFAD\, Association of American Universities\nLaw & Public Service: Federal Public Defender Service (Maryland)\, DC Attorney General – Criminal Public Safety\, D.C. Public Defender Service\n\nWho Should Apply?\nThe MIW program is open to juniors and seniors from all majors. If you are eager to learn outside the classroom and immerse yourself in the vibrant city life of Washington\, D.C.\, this program is for you.\n\nFunding Information\nAll admitted students automatically receive a $1\,500 scholarship. Additional funding is available based on financial need.\n\nQuestions? Contact Amber Blomquist at akblomqu@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Revolutionary Paine: Andy Murphy Student-Curated Class Exhibit Common Sense
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense” was one of the most influential works of the American Revolution. The first edition was published on January 10\, 1776\, with an initial print run of just 1\,000 copies\; but within weeks demand soared. The students of Andy Murphy’s POLISCI 495 course co-curated the exhibition “Revolutionary Paine” to document the whirlwind caused by its publication. On view at the Clements January 16-May 8\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

SUMMARY:Performance:Tiffany Ng\, carillon
DESCRIPTION:University Carillonist Tiffany Ng 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). Hearing protection earmuffs are provided for visitors. 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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Tiffany Ng & Sarah Penrose\, carillon
DESCRIPTION:Tiffany Ng & Sarah Penrose perform 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | A frequentist view on cosmological neutrinos and dark-energy constraints
DESCRIPTION:The DESI galaxy survey has recently placed the tightest constraint on the sum of neutrino masses to date. For such effects “below the detection limit”\, where data can only infer upper bounds\, Bayesian and frequentist methods can give important complimentary information. I will begin with an overview of the frequentist profile-likelihood method\, its advantages and limitations. Using a frequentist and Bayesian toolbox\, I will discuss neutrino mass constraints from Planck and DESI data. In particular\, I will focus on the impact of different assumptions about the neutrino mass hierarchy on the inferred mass bounds. Further\, I will compare Bayesian and frequentist constraints on evolving dark energy from recent cosmological data.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Intersections of AI\, Photonics\, and Scientific Discovery
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Artificial intelligence is beginning to transform the way we do science and engineering—not only by analyzing data\, but increasingly by generating hypotheses\, designing experiments\, and even running them. Photonics plays a dual role in this story: it provides some of the most promising physical platforms for AI hardware\, while also serving as a rich testbed for applying AI itself. I will discuss how conventional “black box” AI and more interpretable approaches can both uncover structure in complex systems\, and how large language models point toward a future where significant parts of scientific discovery may be automated. I will also highlight how robotics\, combined with AI\, is moving us closer to self-driving laboratories. While my examples will often come from photonics\, the broader message is that these developments foreshadow a profound shift in how science is practiced across disciplines.\n\nBio: Marin Soljačić is a Professor of Physics at MIT.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MCDB Seminar> Microenvironmental sensing by intestinal stem cells promotes adult Drosophila intestinal regeneration
DESCRIPTION:A failure to properly maintain or regenerate an epithelium results in the loss of its integrity\, architecture and function\, and thus also organismal homeostasis. In many adult epithelia\, stem cells divide to replace damaged or lost tissue cell types. Stem cells are coaxed to proliferate by signalling cues produced by cells in the regenerative microenvironment that forms shortly after injury. Cells within this microenvironment can include other epithelial cells as well as other cell types and tissues associated with the organ. While much is known about how signalling cues from the regenerative microenvironment promotes stem cell proliferation in several adult epithelia\, we know less about how stem cells sense damage or even damage-causing pathogens and how they translate this information to modify their behaviour for regeneration. Furthermore\, even less is understood about how stem cells modulate their microenvironment after tissue damage to support regeneration. \n\nUsing the adult Drosophila intestine (or midgut)\, we have uncovered mechanisms that allow intestinal stem cells (ISCs) to recognise tissue damage as well as invading pathogens and translate this into their proliferation for regeneration. Moreover\, we have found that after damage\, these same ISC pathways can shape the regenerative microenvironment.\n\nHost: Laura Buttitta
