SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Explore Disaster Recovery Careers in Tulsa\, OK
DESCRIPTION:Oklahoma is still recovering from devastating tornadoes andflooding in 2022. Since then\, organizations like Recovering Oklahomans After Disaster (ROAD) have expanded their long-term recovery work to help even more families still waiting for help. SBP &amp\; ROAD are both disaster response and recovery organizations and are teaming up to fill 8 new Project Lead positions in Tulsa to support rebuilding efforts. Join us to learn more about these positions and how you can make a strategic career move through service! Not in the Tulsa area? SBP is also filling positions in New Orleans\,LA\, and Houston\, TX\, which we will discuss during this event. *AmeriCorps is a federally funded program only available to US citizensand can not currently accept OPT students. I apologize if this excludes you from the opportunity. Handshake does not allow me to see this information on your profile.

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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ChE SEMINAR: Kristala Prather\, MIT
DESCRIPTION:A reception with light refreshments will be held in the B32 lobby before each seminar from 1-1:30 p.m.\n\nAbstract: Biological systems have the potential to produce a wide array of compounds with uses that include fuels\, materials\, bulk chemicals\, and pharmaceuticals. Our group is focused on applying principles from metabolic engineering and biocatalysis towards the design and construction of novel biosynthetic pathways for specified target compounds.  This “retro-biosynthetic design” approach is aided by advancements in the development of new tools under the umbrella of synthetic biology that facilitate re-engineering of biological systems.  As new pathways are designed and constructed\, typical challenges such as low product yields and titers can hamper development of commercially-relevant processes.  The sheer volume of chemicals that ultimately need to be produced also requires the use of a broader range of feedstocks than those traditional employed in bioprocesses.  In this talk\, I will review our group’s sustained efforts to both produce novel compounds through biological synthesis and develop strategies to address the inherent limitations.\n\nSpeaker Bio: Kristala L.J. Prather is the Arthur D. Little Professor and Department Head in the Department of Chemical Engineering at MIT. She received an S.B. degree from MIT in 1994 and Ph.D. from the University of California\, Berkeley (1999)\, and worked 4 years in BioProcess Research and Development at the Merck Research Labs prior to joining the faculty of MIT.  Her research interests are centered on the design and assembly of recombinant microorganisms for the production of small molecules\, with additional efforts in novel bioprocess design approaches.  Prather’s honors include the Charles Thom Award of the Society for Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology (2017)\, the Andreas Acrivos Award for Professional Progress in Chemical Engineering of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE\, 2021)\, and the Marvin J. Johnson Award (BIOT Division\, American Chemical Society\, 2024).  Additional honors include selection as a Fellow of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study (2014-2015)\, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS\; 2018)\, the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE\; 2020)\, and AIChE (2020).

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:International Students Career Series: How to Build Your Network
DESCRIPTION:You can’t start networking unless you know where to begin! As an international student\, it can be intimidating when thinking aboutthe idea of having to interact with people in the U.S. That’s totally okay because we got you covered! This workshop will give you the tools to identify and connect with contacts in addition to conducting informational interviews - opportunities that will help you expand your knowledge of what a career or company is like by learning from an employee's daily activities. Remember: Networking is about building relationships. These meetings can occur without the pressure so often present in a typical job interviewbut many times lead to opportunities down the road.This session is an interactive workshop\, so you are expected to prepare by carefully reviewing our networking website to learn the basics:Review Networking Resources:https://careercenter.umich.edu/content/networking-resources

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Internships and Government Careers in Research\, Policy\, and Analysis
DESCRIPTION:\nOften called the “congressional watchdog\,” the Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent\, nonpartisan agency that advises Congress about ways to make government more efficient\, effective\, ethical\, equitable\, and responsive. One way GAO supports oversight of taxpayer dollars is by reporting on agency program and policy effectiveness\, analyzing policy\, and outlining options for Congress. GAO’s 15 mission teams cover federal programs and activities across government.\nThe session will include a discussion about using USAJobs (including tips and tricks) for applying for jobs in the federal government\; information about GAO (including internship opportunities)\; and a panel of GAO employees with doctoral degrees in various disciplines who will share their personal perspectives on working at GAO.\n\nGAO staff will be available to meet with students individually following the session from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m.\nRegistration is required at https://myumi.ch/DrXN5.\n\nWe want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events. If an accommodation would promote your full participation in this event\, please follow the registration link to indicate your accommodation requirements. Please let us know as soon as possible in order to have adequate time\, preferably one week\, to arrange for your requested accommodations or an effective alternative.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Of fish tongues and other cypriniform oddities: Investigating the origin of trophic novelties
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of our ongoing Thursday Seminar Series.\n\nAbout this seminar: While functional morphologists have long studied the evolution of suites of trophic structures\, the origin and evolution of morphological novelties has received less attention. There may be times when complex structures originate all at once. When such complex novelties first originate they must become incorporated into an integrated system to be rendered fully functional. Thus\, morphological integration is key at the outset of acquisition of morphological novelties. Cypriniforms are a diverse group of freshwater fishes characterized by several trophic novelties that include: kinethmoid-mediated premaxillary protrusion\, a muscular palatal organ\, hypertrophied lower pharyngeal jaws that masticate against the base of the neurocranium\, and an epibranchial organ used to aggregate small food particles. In this talk I will discuss our findings regarding the anatomy\, development\, and function of some of these trophic novelties.
