SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Mapping Science
DESCRIPTION:For centuries\, scientists with all kinds of specializations have used maps to chart their hypotheses and share their findings. From the shifting of tectonic plates to the spread of disease and charts of the night sky\, come see a selection of maps that visualize scientific research by putting data on the map.\n\nJoin us (on the 2nd floor of Hatcher) for Third Thursdays at the Library\, a themed monthly open house where we share materials from our collections. While you’re here\, pick up a passport and collect a stamp from each of the four Third Thursday Open Houses — Asia Library\, Clark Library\, International Studies\, and Special Collections Research Center — to win a prize!

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Precision Synthesis and Deterministic Placement of Quantum Dots for Quantum Light Technologies
DESCRIPTION:Realizing scalable quantum light technologies requires both atomically precise nanocrystal synthesis and deterministic single-particle positioning. This talk explores strategies to achieve these goals by leveraging the extremes of nanocrystal size. First\, we examine kinetically persistent cluster molecules\, which are intermediates in colloidal nanocrystal nucleation\, as high-fidelity models for understanding crystal growth mechanisms\, structure\, and reactivity. By understanding the structure\, formation\, and conversion of these clusters\, we gain insights into synthesis pathways that minimize ensemble heterogeneity and move us toward the chemist's dream of perfect nanocrystals.\nNext\, we address a critical challenge in quantum photonics: the scalable integration of colloidal quantum dots as single-photon emitters. We demonstrate two approaches that exploit QD size to enable deterministic placement into large-scale ordered arrays while preserving photostability and quantum emission properties. Specifically\, SiO2 and CdS shells expand QD size\, facilitating precise positioning via high-fidelity template-assisted self-assembly and electrohydrodynamic inkjet printing. We show that single “colossal” QDs maintain room-temperature antibunching behavior and can be deterministically coupled to photonic cavities\, advancing their viability for quantum technologies.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Psychedelics and Large-Scale Brain Networks
DESCRIPTION:This talk is part of the Michigan Psychedelic Center's 2026 Seminar Series: Psychedelics — From Cells to Society. Learn more about the series at https://michiganpsychedelic.med.umich.edu/education-events/. \n\nAbout the Talk:\n\nPsychedelic compounds profoundly alter conscious experience\, producing changes in perception\, cognition\, and self-awareness while typically preserving wakefulness. In recent years\, human neuroimaging studies have revealed that these experiential effects are accompanied by robust alterations in large-scale brain network organization. However\, a unifying framework for understanding how psychedelic drugs reshape brain-wide communication remains an open challenge.\n\nIn this talk\, Rui Dai\, PhD\, will present converging evidence from functional MRI studies across classical and non-classical psychedelics\, as well as comparisons with sleep and anesthesia\, to show that psychedelic states are characterized by increased integration across large-scale brain networks alongside heightened interaction complexity. These effects are most prominent along cortical hierarchies spanning unimodal sensory regions to transmodal association networks\, suggesting a systematic reconfiguration of global information flow rather than isolated regional changes.\n\nBy contrasting psychedelic states with unconscious or diminished-consciousness states\, this work highlights large-scale network integration as a core neural feature supporting conscious experience. Together\, these findings position psychedelics as powerful tools for probing fundamental principles of brain-wide communication and the neural basis of consciousness.\n\nAbout the Presenter:\n\nRui Dai\, PhD\, is a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Michigan Medical School. Her research uses human noninvasive neuroimaging to investigate the neural basis of consciousness across spatial scales\, with earlier work focusing on the neural representation of conscious content during task performance and more recent work examining how local and large-scale brain dynamics reconfigure across altered states of consciousness\, including psychedelic\, sleep\, and anesthetic states.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Slowing Down with Film: Cameras\, Prints & Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:In a fast-paced digital world\, film photography invites us to slow down and reconnect with the act of seeing. This relaxed mini-lecture and show & tell explores why film continues to resonate with modern photographers.\n\nParticipants are encouraged (but not required) to bring a film camera\, analog lens\, instant camera\, or film photographs—whether a meaningful image\, a creative accomplishment\, or simply something they’d like to share. Together\, we’ll reflect on process\, intention\, and the tactile qualities of analog photography\, emphasizing conversation and shared experience over technical instruction.
