SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Positive Links Speaker Series: The Power of Beliefs: How Seven Core Beliefs Shape Performance\, Well-Being\, and Collective Thriving\nSpeaker: Shawn Achor\nTuesday\, October 20\, 2026\n1:00 - 2:00 p.m. ET\nFree and Online | Registration required to obtain login information\n\nEvent link: https://myumi.ch/pgM7k\n\nPositive Links:\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, running for over 22 years with 165 sessions\, is one of the most-watched speaker series at Michigan Ross. Positive Links features distinguished scholars sharing leading ideas in the science of thriving. Learn how to ignite the science of extraordinary organizations catalyzed by human thriving\, together with our community of researchers\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk:\nThis session explores a question at the center of Shawn Achor’s newest research: how much do the beliefs people hold about themselves\, their work\, and their world shape what happens next? Drawing on two decades of research across 51 countries — and work spanning Fortune 100 companies\, NASA\, the NFL\, public school systems\, and six battalions of Marines — Achor introduces a set of seven core beliefs he has found to be most consistently linked to performance\, health\, and well-being\, ranging from the belief that one’s behavior matters to the belief that one’s work is meaningful. He situates these findings against what he calls the Great Drift — the concurrent rise of burnout\, anxiety\, loneliness\, and depression — and argues that as technology has grown more powerful\, beliefs have become more predictive\, not less. You will leave with several research-tested strategies for shifting limiting beliefs in yourself and others\, and a framework for understanding how belief change spreads through teams and organizations.\n\nAbout Achor:\nShawn Achor is the New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Advantage and Big Potential. Shawn graduated magna cum laude from Harvard and earned a master’s from Harvard Divinity School in Christian and Buddhist ethics. After spending 12 years at Harvard\, Shawn traveled to 50 countries studying how to create an interconnected approach to potential and happiness. He has now worked with over a third of the Fortune 100 companies\, and at places like NASA\, the NFL\, and the Pentagon. Shawn has battle-tested his research in high-challenge environments\, from working with all the public schools in Flint\, Michigan\, to six battalions of Marines at Camp Pendleton\, to government leaders at Camp David\, to students in a shantytown in Soweto\, South Africa\, to hospitals in the wake of a mass shooting in Orlando and the Boston bombing. In every place\, Shawn has found that optimism can be increased through mindset and behavioral change\, and that by creating an interconnected approach to happiness and success\, we shine brighter together. Shawn’s research made the cover of Harvard Business Review\, his TED Talk is one of the most popular of all time with over 20 million views\, and his lecture airing on PBS has been seen by millions.\n\nHost:\nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nPositive Links Speaker Series Sponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and the Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurship for their support of the 2026-27 Positive Links Speaker Series.\n\nPositive Links Series Promotional Partners:\nAdditionally\, we thank Ann Arbor SPARK\, the Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division of the Academy of Management\, and the Organization Development and Change (ODC) Division of the Academy of Management for their Positive Links Speaker Series promotional partnerships.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Distribution of Federally-Insured Mortgages\, 1935-1975: Evidence from Local Land Records (with Jacob Faber\, Andreas Ferrara\, Jonathan Rose\, Thomas Storrs\, Katherine Thomas\, Gabrielle Toborg\, Randall Walsh\, and Wenfei Xu)
DESCRIPTION:This project develops a novel dataset of federally-insured mortgages from 1935 to 1975 by digitizing local land records from county recorders of deeds across a geographically diverse set of U.S. counties. Despite the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and Veterans Administration (VA) programs accounting for up to 50% of all mortgages for some years during this period\, systematic borrower-level data has been unavailable due to a lack of federal records and decentralized county recording systems. Using a new pipeline that deploys large language models to digitize scanned mortgages\, we identify and extract information from FHA-insured and VA-guaranteed mortgages\, geolocate properties\, and link borrowers to full-count Census data from 1940 and 1950. This produces the first comprehensive address- and borrower-level dataset beyond 1940. We investigate the share of Black borrowers among FHA and VA mortgage recipients\, characterize the spatial distribution of mortgages across neighborhoods that vary in racial composition and HOLC ratings\, and examine the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of borrowers. The analysis enhances our understanding of how federal housing policy shaped metropolitan development and racial inequality during the New Deal and Civil Rights eras.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CCMB Tuesday Popup: Biomedical Gen AI Learning Community presented by Einar Olafsson\, PhD (Microbiology & Immunity)I)
DESCRIPTION:AI tools for research are advancing at a pace that often outstrips traditional academic training. These tools are powerful\, but using them effectively to produce high quality research is a skill in itself. So how do we use AI to move faster and accelerate biological discovery without sacrificing scientific rigor and our sense of engagement with our work?\n\nWe hope to build a community dedicated to keeping up with new tools\, sharing ai-augmented research workflows what work well\, and staying human in an AI world.  \n\nWe are launching the Biomedical Gen AI Learning Community!\n\nOpen to: Anyone in the UM bioinformatics and biomedical community - researchers\, students\, and staff. \n\nThe Biomedical Gen AI Learning Community is sponsored by the Center for Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics (CCMB)

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:History in a Time of Forgetting
DESCRIPTION:What do we — as individuals\, communities\, and members of a nation — choose to remember? What\, or who\, is erased from accounts of our shared past? And who benefits from the official and unofficial narratives constructed about the nation’s collective history? \n\nIn 2026\, as the country celebrates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence\, the current presidential administration has taken concerted steps to shape and disseminate a very specific version of the nation’s history. Notably\, their efforts involve limiting the stories that are told about our past to conceal difficult truths\, ignoring real complexities from the historical record\, undermining the difficult work of historical research\, and seeking to avoid the processes of interpreting and discussing the meaning of our past. But we can also see the resistance to this rewriting and its erasures in the persistence of existing histories\, as well as the continued proliferation of alternate histories in a variety of spheres and locations that are not subject to governmental control.\n\nThis webinar accompanies the publication of Spark Magazine’s upcoming series\, “History in a Time of Forgetting\,” which grapples with what it means to engage in and uplift historical research amid the present national climate. The online webinar will feature series curators Jennifer Brady and Camron Michael Amin\, from the University of Michigan's Inclusive History Project\, in conversation with series contributors Elisa Alfonso\, David Porter\, S. Shani Saunders\, and Tenisha Tevis. These writers take a range of approaches to history and remembering\, exploring pop culture analysis\, community storykeeping\, personal history\, and public pedagogy.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mechanistic Insights into Metal-Protein Interactions: Implications for Neurodegenerative Disease Progression and Intervention
DESCRIPTION:Elevated levels of protein expression and aberrant metal exposure have been reported in many neurodegenerative diseases\, including Huntington’s Disease (HD). While there is currently no cure for HD\, metal chelation therapies have been shown to assuage disease symptoms including chorea. These observations underscore the critical need to understand how metal-protein interactions are involved in disease pathogenesis. Our objective in this work is to elucidate the role of copper (Cu) and other biorelevant metals in HD and\, more specifically\, their interactions with the huntingtin protein (htt). We aimed to characterize the Cu-htt interaction and speciation trends in our in vitro HD system\, as well as the influence of disease-relevant Cu concentrations on protein oligomerization/aggregation both in vitro and in vivo. We utilized multiple spectroscopic techniques (circular dichroism\, electron paramagnetic resonance\, UV-Vis absorption\, dynamic light scattering\, and mass spectrometry) that cover a broad range of energy scales\, allowing us to characterize protein structure at the molecular\, secondary structure\, and quaternary structure levels. Additionally\, site-directed mutagenesis of several putative metal binding residues was used to define the roles of specific amino acids in mediating oligomerization/aggregation\, metal binding\, and redox chemistry. Taken together\, our work has led to the first report of multiple copper binding sites in non-pathological htt and provides insight into one pathway for depletion of native htt pools that may contribute to HD.
