SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Cover Letters and Resumes for Jobs and Internships (for Graduate Students)
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is open to all graduate students seeking guidance on cover letters and resumes for positions beyond tenure track roles.It also meets the needs of those applying for internships\, including those applying to the Rackham Doctoral Intern Fellowship Program. The processof synthesizing your academic experiences into strong application materials for jobs and internships beyond academia can be challenging but rewarding. This workshop is a hands-on opportunity for graduate students to learnhow to effectively develop a resume using the foundation that they have laid with information from their CVs. Additionally\, this session will include tips for writing compelling\, tailored cover letters and thinking strategically about how these two documents complement each other. This workshop is designed for master's students\, doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff\, please contact rackhamdeworkshops@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance. Brought to you bythe University Career Center\, in partnership with Rackham Graduate School. Register in Sessions: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/session/103750  #UCC

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. Poetic Voice from a Russian Prison: Zhenya Berkovich and her Striking Protest
DESCRIPTION:On April 10\, 2023\, experimental director Zhenya Berkovich and playwright Svetlana Petrichuk were arrested in Russia on charges of “justifying terrorism.” Russian authorities accused them of spreading terrorist propaganda through their play \"Finist\, the Bright Falcon\,\" which through a documentary-style performance attempts to understand what motivated the choices of Russian women\, who met ISIS militants online and traveled to Syria to marry them.\n   \n   Despite the play’s success and numerous awards\, Berkovich and Petrichuk were sentenced to six years in a penal colony. While still in pretrial detention\, Berkovich wrote a cheerful children's book called “Pets\,” in which the characters are animals that inhabit the prison: crows\, rats\, and even cockroaches. From the penal colony\, she continues to send poems and texts filled with observations and hope to the outside world.\n   \n   In this lecture\, journalist and playwright Anna Narinskaya will talk about what Zhenya Berkovich's voice means in today's Russia and beyond.\n   \n   Anna Narinskaya is a Russian journalist\, playwright\, art curator\, and activist. In Russia\, she worked for newspapers Kommersant and Novaya Gazeta\, curated exhibitions at the Pushkin Museum\, the Museum of Modern Art\, and the Jewish Museum\, and collaborated with the Gogol Center. In 2018\, she was one of the organizers of the “March of Mothers” protesting against the persecution of teenagers in Putin's Russia. In 2022\, after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine\, she emigrated to Germany\, where she writes for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and collaborates with the Gorki Theater.\n   \n   Her latest projects include the play \"My Beloved Country\,\" based on the bestselling book by Elena Kostyuchenko\, and the exhibition \"No Such People Here\,\" which tells the story of the oppression of LGBTQ+ people in Chechnya.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Material Conversations: A Focus on Glass
DESCRIPTION:Catie Newell\, professor of architecture at Taubman College and founding principal of Alibi Studio\, will speak about her work exploring the illuminative qualities of glass through form\, color\, and transparency demonstrated through site-specific works and material research.\n\nNewell's most recent work explores glass as a building unit that both transforms and modulates light. Light Forms are \"cast glass modules that work architecturally\, allowing light to transfer through them\, aggregating together several different tessellations to make spaces with different textures and optical qualities.\"\n\nYou will soon see Light Forms in action\, in \"Inhabiting Light\" at Magnolia Glade in Nichols Arboretum.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mathematical Biology Seminar: How much data is needed to validate multiscale models of viral infections?
DESCRIPTION:Uncertainty in parameter estimates from fitting mathematical models to empirical data limits the model’s ability to uncover mechanisms of interaction. Understanding the effect of model structure and data availability on model predictions is important for informing model development and experimental design. To address sources of uncertainty in parameter estimation\, I will present methodologies that can help determine when a model can reveal its parameters. I will apply them in the context of virus infections in animals and humans at within-host\, population\, and multiscale levels.  Using these approaches\, I will provide insight into the sources of uncertainty and provide guidelines for the types of model assumptions\, optimal experimental design\, and biological information needed for improved predictions.\n\nThis seminar is hybrid: meeting in Weiser 296 and via Zoom:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/97725897086\nMeeting ID: 977 2589 7086\nPasscode: mathbio
