SUMMARY:Exhibition:Nodagwzëwêk gi gdankobthëgnenanêk (our ancestors are heard):
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Matthaei Botanical Gardens for an art exhibit by Justin Johnson Nodagwzëwêk gi gdankobthëgnenanêk (our ancestors are heard): Contemporary Visions in Native American Art.  September 29 - November 15\, 2026.\n\nArtist Bio\n\n“Bozho\, Justin Johnson nde zhnëkas\, Eau Claire ndë wtthbya. Mshiké ndodem minė Bodéwadmi ndaw.” (“Hello\, my name is Justin Johnson\, I come from Eau Claire. My clan is turtle and I am Potawatomi”). \n\nMy name is Justin Johnson\, Native name Thitthishkewé. I’m a visual artist whose work is deeply shaped by my Potawatomi heritage. Raised in Coloma\, Michigan\, my artistic path began in childhood and continued through grade school and high school\, eventually leading to me studying at Kendall College of Art & Design for four years. My art is a reflection of both personal expression and cultural tradition\, honoring the interconnectedness of people\, animals\, land\, and spirit. Guided by intuition\, ancestral knowledge\, and the natural world. I’m always seeking new ways to tell stories through my work. My drawings are inspiration from tribal stories\, culture\, and values that have been passed down through generations. I have collaborated with the Pokagon Band on numerous projects\, including traditional storybooks and illustrations. Aswell as permanent collections at the Pokagon Band Administration Building and the Pokagon Health Services building\, and artwork featured in the Four Winds Casino gift shop. Some other projects and exhibtions that I’ve participated in would be the Native American exhibition at the Krasl Art Center and a featured as the cover artist with a six-page article in PAN-O-PLY magazine. My murals can be found at the Grand Rapids Public Museum\, the Edwardsburg (Cass County District) Library\, and the Buchanan District Library. Currently\, I’m collaborating with Northwestern University on a new mural for their football stadium. Through diverse body of work\, my work continues to share the stories\, values\, and traditions of his heritage with a wide audience.\n\nArtist Statement\n\nMy work is deeply rooted in my culture\, which shapes both my perspective and my creative process. We see ourselves as part of the Earth\, not separate from it—every act\, every gesture\, is an exchange. When we take\, we give. This relationship is woven into the art I make\, which follows the tradition known as Woodlands Style\, or Legendary Style. It’s not the invention of any one person. It has been handed down\, shaped by countless hands and stories over generations. This style is often described as “x-ray” painting. With vivid colors and layered lines\, I try to reveal the inner spirit of animals\, plants\, and people—sometimes physical\, sometimes spiritual. There’s a rhythm to it that still echoes the Great Lakes region: bold\, luminous\, and full of life. Each piece is a story that’s been told and retold\, woven across time\, just like the spirits that guide us. As an artist\, I try to reflect these values in everything I do. Even when we drift from the old ways\, our spirit keeps us connected. My work is a reminder—a visual invitation to reconnect\, to live more intentionally\, and to honor the balance and respect that our traditions teach.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Special Exhibition | Ancient Abstractions: Roman Visual Trends Beyond Naturalism
DESCRIPTION:The lifelike naturalistic bodies of Greek and Roman sculpture have been a source of wonder since the Renaissance. Indeed\, the Italian Renaissance artist Vasari identified the ancient world as the time “when sculpture rose to its greatest height.” But close likenesses of the natural world are not the only visual products of the ancient past. This exhibition traces alternative visual trends in the ancient Roman world that today would be considered examples of abstraction. It focuses on monuments and motifs long pushed to the margins of our accounts of ancient art. Oversize arrangements of interlocking shapes pulsate in bold block colors from tombs\, temples\, and homes\; stylized animals flicker into view\, only to collapse once more into bright geometric arrangements\; and artists adopt experimental shorthands for the depiction of space across media. Anticipating recent interests in color and form\, the visual trends of antiquity emerge as far more varied than has long been told.\n\n*Ancient Abstractions is on view from November 5\, 2026\, through February 28\, 2027\, during regular museum hours (Tuesday–Friday\, 10:00 AM–4:00 PM\, and Saturday–Sunday\, 11:00 AM–4:00 PM\; closed Mondays and university holidays.*

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:BME Special Guest Lecturer
DESCRIPTION:BME Special Guest Lecturer:\nStephane Avril   \n\nMultiscale Digital Twins IN CARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE \nAbstract:\nAortic aneurysms and dissections require personalized therapeutic strategies to reduce the risk of catastrophic complications. This lecture introduces a multiscale digital-twin framework combining fast surrogate biomechanical models\, machine-learning–based inverse identification\, and tissue mechanobiology. At the clinical scale\, latent-space representations enable rapid patient-specific simulation to predict complications such as endoleaks. At the material scale\, inverse methods and neural-network constitutive models reveal regional tissue properties and rupture indicators. At the biological scale\, growth-and-remodeling models describe how proteolytic injury\, hemodynamics\, and cellular processes drive disease progression. By integrating these components\, digital twins become powerful tools to support diagnosis\, intervention planning\, and future therapies for delaying vascular aging.\nBio:\nStéphane Avril is Professor of Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering at Mines Saint-Étienne\, France\, and Director of the SAINBIOSE laboratory (INSERM U1059). He received his PhD in Mechanical and Civil Engineering from Mines Saint-Étienne in 2002. His research focuses on biomechanics and mechanobiology of soft tissues\, with particular emphasis on cardiovascular applications. His work combines medical imaging\, experimental characterization\, computational modeling\, and patient-specific digital twins. He has led major research programs funded by the ERC\, ANR\, BPI France\, and Horizon Europe. He is the recipient of an ERC Advanced Grant (JuvenTwin) and previously held an ERC Consolidator Grant. He has been a Visiting Professor at Yale University and Guest Professor at TU Vienna and TU Graz. He has authored more than 230 peer-reviewed publications and supervised over 50 PhD students and 25 postdoctoral researchers. He is cofounder of PrediSurge and KaomX\, translating biomechanical research into innovative medical and research technologies. He was elected to the World Council of Biomechanics in 2026 and has received several international awards for his contributions to biomechanics.\n\nWebsites:\nhttps://emse.fr/~avril  \nhttps://sainbiose-lab.fr/

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Veterans Week - Vietnam War Veteran Panel
DESCRIPTION:Hear Vietnam veterans talk about their experiences during that controversial war and how they were treated when they returned home. This year\, we are honored to have a nurse who served in Vietnam.  A total of nearly 9\,000 women served as nurses in the Vietnam War. Their average age was 23 and most had just graduated from nursing school when they volunteered. Eight of them were killed in action\, while treating and saving others. \n\n>Panelist Mary Stolz\, an Iron Mountain Michigan resident\, kept wounded soldiers alive. \n>Panelist Denny Schoville was one such critically wounded casualty. The helicopter pilot\, with a  Distinguished Flying Cross\, two Silver Stars\, and a Bronze Star\, was shot in the temple and left calf and still managed to land his bullet-riddled chopper. A nurse stabilized him so that he could be flown to a fully equipped Army hospital in Japan. \n>Panelist Peter Dodge trained as an Army medic and volunteered for Vietnam\, but was sent to Thailand to provide public health services. As a result of Peter's and fellow MEDCAPS work\, Vietnam was only the second US war in which more men died of diseases than in battle. \n>The panel is moderated by Lawrence Dolph\, who served on Night Ambush Patrol for the 9th Infantry Division and later as a US Army News Correspondent.\n\nTheir remarkable stories of service\, sacrifice\, and perseverance will change how you look at the Vietnam War and the men and women who served there.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Race between AI Costs and Capabilities: Task-Based Automation When Machines Improve
DESCRIPTION:What drives the patterns of AI automation: expanding capabilities or falling computing costs? We develop a quantitative task-based theory of production in which firms choose among various vintages of an automation technology (in this case\, AI models) for each task\, subject to adoption frictions. Larger models are more capable but require more computing\, so automation of some tasks relies on models smaller than the frontier. An expanding frontier lowers costs only in tasks that may rely on new models\, while cheaper computing lowers automation costs for all tasks that AI can perform. We measure the capabilities and costs of AI models across different tasks using a new survey: workers grade the output of 41 language models on samples of 7\,400 production tasks in over 800 occupations. The token costs for producing each task/model combination offer measures of the corresponding computing costs. Using this data\, along with additional moments of AI spending and occupational adoption\, we quantify our model and use it to project the future path of AI automation given trends in capabilities and computing costs. The model predicts that by 2050 AI will perform 54 percent of all work in the US economy. Halving the rate at which computing prices fall lowers this share to 39 percent\, while halving the growth rate of frontier models leaves it almost unchanged.
