SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Human Genetics Research Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, September 14\, 2026\n11:00am - 12:00pm\nLocation TBD\n\nYang Shi\, PhD\nProfessor of Epigenetics\nLudwig Institute for Cancer Research\nOxford University\, Oxford\, England\n“Seminar Title TBD”\n\nHosted By: Shigeki Iwase\, PhD\, Department of Human Genetics\n___\nBefore joining Ludwig Oxford in 2020\, I was Professor of Cell Biology and C. H. Waddington Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School. I received my PhD from New York University and postdoctoral training at Princeton University. I joined Harvard Medical School as an Assistant Professor in 1991 and was appointed a Professor of Pathology in 2004. In 2009 I joined the Newborn Medicine Division of Boston Children’s Hospital.\n\nI am interested in identifying key epigenetic regulators in cancer\, elucidating their mechanism of action and providing the conceptual basis for translating our basic findings to the clinic via the development of new therapeutic strategies. With the discovery of the first histone methyl eraser\, LSD1\, in 2004\, our group demonstrated that histone methylation is dynamically regulated\, which overturned the long-held dogma that such modifications were static and irreversible. We have also discovered many additional histone demethylases with different specificities\, and novel readers\, including those that specifically recognize unmodified lysine and arginine and suggest that the unmodified states are not simply a ground neutral state of epigenetic information but rather likely code for epigenetic information as modified states. Importantly\, many of these chromatin enzymes and readers have since been implicated in various types of human cancers\, indicating an important role of chromatin regulation in tumorigenesis.\n\nMore recently\, we have also been studying RNA modifications and how they impact gene expression regulation. In many ways this exciting field parallels the early days of chromatin biochemistry and biology\, i.e.\, the nature and the biological and pathological functions of RNA modifications\, as well as the enzymes responsible for writing\, erasing and reading them\, are just beginning to be understood.\n\nAt Ludwig Oxford\, my lab is focusing on two questions. First\, how to convert “cold tumors to “hot” and how to sustain durable responses to cancer immune checkpoint blockade therapy. Second\, how to induce therapeutic differentiation of cancers\, using acute myeloid leukemia and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma as models where chromatin/epigenetics have been shown to play a crucial role in the maintenance of a poorly differentiated state.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Benefits of Unemployment Insurance for Marginally Attached Workers
DESCRIPTION:Existing research consistently finds that unemployment insurance (UI) benefits delay job finding with limited effects on job quality\, but focuses on changes in UI generosity while holding fixed access to re-employment services. Using employer-employee matched data from Washington State and a fuzzy regression discontinuity design around the eligibility threshold for UI\, we find that benefit receipt minimally delays re-employment but substantially improves labor market outcomes. UI increases cumulative hours worked by approximately 15 full-time weeks and earnings by $14\,000 in the two years following job loss\, representing 37% and 50% increases\, respectively. These gains are driven by improved job quality\, as recipients experience longer tenure and higher wages with their next employer. Effects are larger for workers living near public employment offices\, suggesting that access to re-employment services enhances search productivity. Expanding UI access by lowering the eligibility threshold is much more cost-effective than raising benefit levels or extending potential duration\, as workers benefit from more stable\, higher-paying re-employment that partially offsets its cost.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Teach for Democracy: Facilitating Constructive Dialogue in an Age of Polarization
DESCRIPTION:Edward Ginsberg Center and Center for Research on Learning & Teaching present a special Democracy Week event with Nicholas V. Longo\, PhD with generous support from UM’s Democracy & Civic Empowerment Initiative.\n\nIn an age of division and polarization\, it is essential to develop skills for facilitating constructive dialogue. Join us for an interactive workshop with Dr. Nicholas Longo\, who works closely with students building civic skills and confidence as the inaugural director of the Rutgers Democracy Lab. Participants will develop skills such as learning to listen\, ask questions\, invite stories\, and find common ground. We will also introduce facilitation practices and then engage with relevant scenarios that will help us learn to work with others to address conflict in healthy ways. Ultimately\, this workshop is about helping faculty become bridge builders and change agents for a more vibrant democracy. The session is part of the Promoting Democracy Teaching Series\, co-sponsored by CRLT and Ginsberg Center.\n\nLunch is Provided and available at 11:45am. Program begins at 12pm. Space is limited and registration is required. \n\nREGISTER NOW : https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/session/111893

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:APPLIED PHYSICS I ULTRAFAST XUV SPECTROSCOPY OF VAN DER WAALS MATERIALS
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nOur world is 3D\, yet electrons in van der Waals materials can behave as if they live in 2D sheets\, or even along quasi-1D chains. How does this reduced electronic dimensionality shape the motion of photoexcited charge\, and does it survive when a material is driven far from equilibrium? This nonequilibrium regime is central to both light-driven material function and the emergence of transient states that have no equilibrium counterpart. Answering these questions requires a probe that combines femtosecond time resolution with sensitivity to individual atomic sites. In this talk\, I will introduce our development of table-top ultrafast extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) spectroscopy for single-crystalline van der Waals materials. Broadband XUV pulses access multiple elemental core-level transitions simultaneously\, allowing us to distinguish the responses of electronically active metal sites from those of surrounding ligands. I will present our latest measurements of charge redistribution\, screening\, and coherent lattice motion in van der Waals materials\, and discuss how these results open a site-resolved view of the 2D electronic world far from equilibrium.\n\nBio:\nYuki Kobayashi is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry and a fellow of the Quantum Research Institute at the University of Michigan. He received his Ph.D. from UC Berkeley and was a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University. Since starting his laboratory at Michigan in 2023\, his group has developed ultrafast XUV and strong-field spectroscopies to study electronic and structural dynamics in quantum materials.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lessons for a Warming Planet: A Vital History of US Environmental Law
DESCRIPTION:Camacho argues that US laws as far back as North America's colonization have been perhaps the key driver of exploitation and temperance\, destruction and restoration\, and resistance and adaptation. While leadership\, social movements\, political coalitions\, information\, and technologies have catalyzed and advanced environmental change\, legal imagination has played an underappreciated role in reckoning with environmental harm in the United States.
