SUMMARY:Exhibition:Revolutionary Paine: Andy Murphy Student-Curated Class Exhibit Common Sense
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense” was one of the most influential works of the American Revolution. The first edition was published on January 10\, 1776\, with an initial print run of just 1\,000 copies\; but within weeks demand soared. The students of Andy Murphy’s POLISCI 495 course co-curated the exhibition “Revolutionary Paine” to document the whirlwind caused by its publication. On view at the Clements January 16-May 8\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Two extremes of liquid-liquid phase separation in membranes: minimal\, artificial membranes with only two lipids vs. living\, biological membranes with hundreds of components
DESCRIPTION:Amidst longstanding excitement about liquid–liquid phase separation in biological contexts\, fundamental questions have persisted about exactly which molecules are required for this transition in lipid membranes. The Keller Group applies those questions to both artificial and biological membranes. In simple membranes\, enormous progress has been made in understanding large-scale\, liquid-liquid phase separation in membranes with as few as three components: a sterol\, lipid with ordered chains\, and a lipid with disordered chains. How low can we go? Are three components really necessary? Our group set out to discover a truly minimal system with only two components. Inspired by reports that sterols interact closely with lipids with ordered chains\, we found that phase separation can robustly occur in bilayers in which a sterol and lipid are replaced by a single\, joined sterol–lipid. Next\, we turned our attention to natural membranes. Micron-scale liquid-liquid phase separation occurs in vacuole membranes of budding yeast (S. cerevisiae) at their growth temperature when the yeast switch from the log stage of growth to the stationary stage. The membrane phases are functionally important – they play a role in enabling the yeast to survive periods of stress. We found that yeast actively regulate this phase transition to hold the membrane transition of their membrane ~15C above the yeast growth temperature. They must do so by changing their lipidome. When yeast enter the stationary stage (and their membranes phase separate)\, the fraction of one lipid type (PC-lipids) doubles\, and lipids of that type have higher melting temperatures\, which is consistent with phase separation occurring in membranes containing a sterol\, lipids with ordered chains\, and lipids with disordered chains.

SUMMARY:Performance:Vinson Lam\, carillon
DESCRIPTION:Vinson Lam performs on the Charles Baird Carillon\, an instrument of 53 bronze bells located inside the Burton Memorial Tower. The largest bell\, which strikes the hour\, weighs 12 tons\, while the smallest bell\, 4½ octaves above\, weighs just 15 pounds.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Charles Baird Carillon at noon every weekday that classes are in session\, followed by visitor Q&A with the carillonist. The bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs. Take the elevator to the highest floor possible (floor 8)\, and then climb two flights of stairs (39 steps) to the bell chamber (floor 10). Hearing protection earmuffs are provided for visitors. Be prepared to walk on ice and snow in the bell chamber during winter. Built in 1936\, the Charles Baird Carillon is not ADA accessible. Visitors with mobility concerns are invited to visit the Lurie Carillon.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Watcher of the Sky: Making and Remaking the Detroit Observatory
DESCRIPTION:The Detroit Observatory was once a hub of astronomical discovery that put the University of Michigan on the map as a world-class research institution. A century later\, it was an abandoned building with an uncertain future. From cornerstone to keystone\, from the first director to the people who saved it from destruction\, explore the life of a historic observatory 170 years in the making.\n\n\"Watcher of the Sky\" is being developed by student docents at the Detroit Observatory. Presented by the Judy and Stanley Frankel Detroit Observatory\, part of the Bentley Historical Library.\n\n\"Watcher of the Sky\" is now on display at the Detroit Observatory (1398 Ann Street\, Ann Arbor\, 48109). View the exhibit during the Observatory's open hours:\nThursdays 12-5 pm\nFridays 12-11 pm\nSelected Saturdays 12-5 pm
