SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Flash Talk | Karanis Research at the Kelsey
DESCRIPTION:For the past several years\, classics professor Mike Sampson (University of Manitoba) has conducted research on the Kelsey Museum’s collection for his “Books of Karanis” project. This interdisciplinary project\, launched in 2021\, investigates Greek literary culture in Karanis\, Egypt\, utilizing papyri and the rich excavation data from the University of Michigan’s historical digs. Through this work\, Dr. Sampson and his collaborators hope to assemble a wide-ranging reconsideration of Karanis’ archaeology—synthesizing the excavation data along with analyses of the papyri\, ceramics\, and numismatic evidence.\n\nKelsey Museum Flash Talks are 15-minute Zoom lectures by Kelsey curators\, staff members\, researchers\, graduate students\, and guests talking about their recent research or current projects. Each presentation is followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. Flash Talks are free and open to all visitors.\n\nTo register for this lecture\, fill out the form at https://forms.gle/ezPjKytQuWxF7FbB8. Zoom log-in information will be provided upon registration. Please sign up by 9:30 AM the day of the event to ensure you receive a confirmation email containing the access code.

SUMMARY:Well-being:Heartfulness Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Heartfulness Guided Meditation is a weekly\, drop-in program designed to help you Mental well-being. \n\nAll U-M students\, faculty\, and staff are welcome to participate in guided meditation practice with a trainer every Friday at noon over Zoom (details to join are provided below). No prior experience with meditation is required. \n\n*What will you learn?*\n\nThe guided meditation practice involves three simple steps: relaxation\, rejuvenation\, and meditation.\n\nRelaxation brings your body to a calm\, steady posture creating a stillness at the physical level\, and prepares the mind for meditation. We follow this with a rejuvenation method to detox the mind to let go of stress and complex emotions\, and will leave you feeling light and refreshed. Lastly\, learning to meditate by being mindful of your heart will connect you with yourself by listening to your heart’s voice. \n\n*Why Meditate?*\n\nWhile physical fitness keeps our bodies in shape\, meditation is an exercise for the mind and mental wellness. In addition to the measurable benefits mentally and physically\, many people benefit from an unquantifiable inner poise and harmony. \n\n*Please take Learn to Meditate session if you are new to the practice. These sessions are offered Monthly.* https://events.umich.edu/event/128708\n\n*Event Details*\n\nHeartfulness Guided Meditation \nFridays from 12-12:30 p.m. ET (except during university season days / holidays)\nJoin Via Zoom Meeting\nRegister to receive Passcode (see “Related links”\n\n\nThis wellness program is coordinated by ITS Teaching & Learning and provided at no cost by heartfulness.org.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Predicting RNA Secondary/Tertiary Structure: Thermodynamic and Bioinformatic Approaches
DESCRIPTION:Predicting RNA structure and stability from sequence requires a deep integration of experimental thermodynamics with computational modeling. Research in the Znosko lab has systematically quantified the energetics of fundamental RNA motifs (hairpins\, internal loops\, mismatches\, and non-canonical pairs) using optical melting. These data have expanded and refined nearest-neighbor parameters\, improving the accuracy of RNA secondary-structure prediction. Complementary algorithmic development and computational studies have enabled the incorporation of these parameters into predictive tools.  Bioinformatic analyses have evaluated sequence–structure relationships across large datasets and identified sequence families that exhibit similar structural features\, informing both modeling and design. Together\, these efforts bridge experiment and computation to advance a more predictive framework for RNA folding\, with implications for understanding natural RNA function and engineering RNA-based systems.
