SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Mini Symposium Series: Lessons from the Blue Zones
DESCRIPTION:Since the dawn of time\, humans have searched for the fountain of youth.  Globally\, people spend trillions of dollars on wellness and longevity.  We are endlessly searching for the secret to extending the quality and length of our lives.  \n\nBut what if some people had already found the secret? And\, what if they are living longer without even trying? \n\nThat is what Dan Buettner believes he has uncovered in the blue zones.  \n\nWe will be sitting down with the New York Times best-selling author and National Geographic fellow for the next installment of our Mini Symposium Series\, Lessons from the Blue Zones\, on Friday\, May 8\, at 2 p.m. via Zoom.  We will learn about what makes the blue zones so special and how we can incorporate their secrets into our everyday lives. \n\nFollowing her conversation with Dan Buettner\, Dr. Eva L. Feldman will be joined by Michigan Medicine’s own experts — Drs. David Conroy and Donovan Maust— for a live panel discussion\, during which they will also field audience questions.

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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Production of High Quality Facsimiles with Giovanni Scorcioni
DESCRIPTION:Giovanni Scorcioni\, owner of Facsimile Finder\, a provider and maker of high quality facsimiles based in San Marino\, gives a presentation on how these facsimiles are made\, with an emphasis on the use of gold leaf. Most of the facsimiles are of manuscript copies dating from ca.700-1600 CE\, so these beautifully ornate facsimiles are often the only way to experience the work. The Clark Library uses their copies extensively for instruction. We'll include time to enjoy many examples from Giovanni and the Clark Library collection.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Growth of the length function for finite-dimensional algebras (Combinatorics Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Let *A* be a finite-dimensional algebra over a field\, and *S* be its generating set. The smallest positive integer *k* such that all products of the elements from *S* of degree not exceeding *k*  span *A* is called the *length of S*. The maximal length of *S* among all sets *S* that generate *A* is called the *length of A*. The length function is an important invariant widely used to study finite-dimensional algebras since 1959. Due to its numerous applications\, it was thoroughly investigated as a purely algebraic problem. It is straightforward to check that the length of an associative finite-dimensional algebra is less than its dimension *d*\, and can be equal to *d-1* only for commutative algebras. \n\nWe show that the length of a *d*-dimensional non-associative algebra  is bounded by *2^{d-2}*\, and this bound is sharp. The investigations of the length function in the non-associative case is closely related with the combinatorial properties of  addition chains\, i.e.\, the sequences of natural numbers in which each term is a sum of two previous terms. These  sequences  are known since ancient times and are useful in the number of applications.  In particular\, Fibonacci sequence is a classical example of an addition chain without doublings. We prove that the length of a quadratic algebra of dimension *n* is bounded by the Fibonacci  number *F_{n-1}*\, and this bound is sharp. \n\nThe precise length evaluation is a difficult problem even in the associative case. For example\, the length of the full matrix algebra is unknown. It was conjectured by Paz in 1984 to be a linear function of the matrix size\; this conjecture is still open. We investigate different algebraic properties of the length function for associative and non-associative algebras and estimate  length for different classes of non-associative algebras.   \n\nThe talk is based on a series of joint works with Dmitry Kudryavtsev\, Olga Markova and Svetlana Zhilina.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sky Tonight
DESCRIPTION:A live presentation on what to find in the sky tonight and for the coming few weeks. This presentation includes how to find the cardinal directions with the North Star\, current and upcoming constellations\, visible planets\, a few deep sky objects depending on the season\, and other interesting astronomical visualizations. If you want to be able to look up from your own backyard and know what to look for\, this is the show for you.
