Dr. Marquez graduated with his Ph.D. in Medicinal Chemistry in 1970 and worked for the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for one year of postdoctoral training. He then returned to his home country of Venezuela for five years before rejoining the NCI as a visiting scientist in 1977. He was awarded tenure as a principle investigator in 1987 and became a lab chief in 2001. Dr. Marquez uses nucleoside chemistry and synthetic organic chemistry to design and discover antitumor and antiviral agents. During his fellowship with the National Institutes of Health in the early 70s\, his work contributed to the design of the active brain antitumor agent\, spiromustine. Dr. Marquez currently has more than 400 publications and holds 29 U.S. patents. Dr. Marquez will share research advice with current graduate students\, as well as valuable lessons learned along the way.\n\nPre-registration is required at https://secure.rackham.umich.edu/wsEvents/wsreg.php?ws_id=442.

In three studies\, using large representative data sets and community samples\, I show that people who experience cultural fit behave in healthier ways and have physiological markers that indicate lower risk for cardiovascular disease. First\, looking at fit with one’s national culture\, I show that Americans who fit the mainstream American cultural norm of independence and Japanese who fit the mainstream Japanese cultural norm of interdependence eat a healthier diet. Next\, I turn to comparisons of groups within a country. I demonstrate that higher SES individuals who are more independent—that is\, who fit with norms in higher SES contexts—and lower SES individuals who are more interdependent—that is\, who fit with norms in lower SES contexts—have lower levels of allostatic load\, a marker of biological risk across multiple systems in the body. Finally\, I extend the operationalization of fit beyond the distinction between independence and interdependence by showing that students of color\, whom previous research shows tend to value diversity\, are healthier when they attend schools that value diversity. Specifically\, they have fewer metabolic syndrome signs and lower levels of inflammation\, both indicators of decreased cardiovascular disease risk. Across diverse settings with different indicators of health\, these studies highlight the previously unexplored role of cultural fit in health and suggest that interventions to improve cultural fit may help to reduce health disparities.

Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter\, David Fahrenthold of The Washington Post\, offers suggestions for both reporters and news consumers on navigating this new era. He will discuss how journalists can open up their own reporting process through social media\, show the public the work that underlies their stories and invite readers in as collaborators. \n\nDuring the 2016 presidential campaign\, Fahrenthold used social media to follow-up on Donald Trump’s pledge to donate money to veterans groups. Posting his reporter’s notes on Twitter to solicit leads\, Fahrenthold uncovered Trump’s questionable charitable practices and found no evidence that Trump donated money to veterans groups as he’d claimed. Fahrenthold was also the first reporter to reveal the existence of the “Access Hollywood” 2005 video in which Trump bragged about groping women. For his series of stories\, Fahrenthold won the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for national reporting.\n\nA graduate of Harvard\, Fahrenthold has been at The Washington Post since 2000. There he reports on President Trump’s businesses and conflicts of interest. He previously covered the Washington\, D.C.\, police\, the environment\, New England\, Congress and the federal bureaucracy for the paper.

The mission’s main goal is to collect samples from this primitive body and return them to Earth. Supporting scientific goals are to fully explore that asteroid’s physical and geophysical environment. The mission marks an important step in the continued robotic exploration of asteroids\, a larger endeavor motivated by the scientific study and exploration of the solar system and the protection of society against future hazardous asteroid impactors.\n\nTo carry out such endeavors involves significant challenges for the dynamics and control of spacecraft. For example\, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft at Bennu will implement an entirely new approach to orbital mechanics in the asteroid environment. The successful implementation of these close proximity operations will usher in a new capability for the exploration of these bodies. \n\nThis talk will discuss the technical challenges and state of the art of spacecraft operations in the asteroid environment. It will also give a preview of the OSIRIS-REx mission and discuss the extreme and exciting orbital dynamics environment in which that spacecraft will operate.\n \nAbout the speaker...\nDaniel J.

The level at which morpheme types are elected may affect their distribution in surface level constructions\; that is\, there is a contrast between morphemes that convey more semantic/pragmatic information from those realizing hierarchical structures. Such differences may also lie behind the preferences for selecting one language over another in some structures in some bilingual data. I look especially at codeswitching\, but also consider examples from borrowing across languages and discuss briefly mixed languages and creole development. I will be referring to an Asymmetry Principle and the Matrix Language Frame (MLF) model\, but more to the 4-M model of morpheme classification. I will present several hypotheses that seem to explain some surface distributions.

The long-term goal of the presented work is to understand the molecular design rules that control nanoparticle toxicity using aspects of materials science (nanoparticle design\, fabrication\, and modification)\, analytical chemistry (developing new assays to monitor nanotoxicity)\, and ecology (monitoring how nanoparticles enter and accumulate in the food web through bacteria and how these nanoparticles influence bacterial function). Taken together\, these data suggest that careful consideration of engineered nanoparticle surface chemistry will likely allow design of safe and sustainable nanoscale materials. \n \n \n \n \n \n \nChristy Haynes (University of Minnesota) UID:40779-8750075@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/40779 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180214T162457 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171026T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171026T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar: Self- and species recognition in brood parasitic birds DESCRIPTION:Avian brood parasites have provided a long-standing and popular model system for the experimental analysis of self- and species-recognition\, which are essential for most critical aspects of social behavior. Specifically\, when faced with a nest containing own and foreign eggs\, the foremost question is how individuals discriminate themselves (their own eggs) from others (foreign eggs) by utilizing each of their recognition system’s components: perception\, cognition\, and response. An overview of advances in the experimental analyses of hosts' egg rejection behaviors is presented here.

As the earliest constructed\, longest lived\, and best preserved Mycenaean palace\, Pylos holds a unique position in Late Bronze Age archaeology with audience halls\, archive rooms\, stunning wall paintings\, and thousands of Linear B tablets. The archaeological data from the cemeteries also sets it apart from the other palaces: Pylos is the only palace with cemeteries nearby that have been excavated using modern methods and are well-recorded. Yet\, to date the vast richness of data available in the tombs has not been mined fully. Through a detailed examination of the tombs and their contents my study changes our understanding of how the Pylian state was formed\; it elucidates how Pylos differed from other Mycenaean societies\; it refines the complex relationship between Pylos and the greater Mediterranean world\; and it demonstrates how the community manipulated funerary rituals to create social prestige and power.

Her poems have appeared in numerous journals and anthologies\, including the New Yorker\, the Paris Review\, and the New York Times Magazine\, and she has been awarded fellowships from the Library of Congress and Stanford University\, among other awards. A former attorney\, she now teaches poetry at Princeton University and at the Warren Wilson College MFA Program for Writers. She previously taught at Bennington College\, Columbia University\, and at the Sarah Lawrence College MFA Program. Youn’s poetry has been described as “interested in the intersection between the beauty we want in life\, and the darkness that often serves as an invisible barrier for it\,” with her background in law allowing her to “probe and navigate these gray areas gently\, using an economy of language that both cuts to the heart of the matter and reveals nuanced layers of caution\, lust\, and desperation.”\n\nOne of the most prolific American writers of the 20th century\, Joyce Carol Oates counts historical biographies\, depictions of working class families\, and magical realist Gothic fiction among her oeuvre. She often depicts hardships and violence in American towns\, and has received both critical and popular acclaim in her 50-year career. Oates is the author of over 70 books\, including the novels them (1969)\, winner of the National Book Award\; Bellefleur (1980)\; You Must Remember This (1987)\; Because It Is Bitter\, and Because It Is My Heart (1990)\; We Were the Mulvaneys (1996)\; Blonde (2000)\, winner of the National Book Award\; The Gravedigger’s Daughter (2007)\; and The Accursed (2013). Her short stories and essays have appeared in the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, The Atlantic\, and Harper’s\, and have been widely anthologized. In an interview for the Paris Review\, she says: “I try to write books that can be read in one way by a literal-minded reader\, and in quite another way by a reader alert to symbolic abbreviation and parodistic elements. And yet\, it's the same book—or nearly.

Sometimes the reason is\, you’re not as clever as you think you are\, and you make bad decisions. Conventional wisdom dictates that the more we know about the problems and opportunities we face\, the better our decisions about them will be. Sadly\, this conventional wisdom tends not to be terribly wise. Over the course of this talk\, Professor Árvai will try to convince you that the more we can learn about how we actually make decisions\, the better we’ll be at it.

Yet in addiction\, these processes go awry. Recent findings indicate that “liking” for intense pleasure is generated by a frail and tiny network in the brain\, whereas “wanting” for pleasures has a much more robust and larger brain generating network. In addiction\, hyper-reactive brain systems can create intense “wants” even in absence of any “liking.” UID:45404-10172700@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/45404 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Bicentennial,Discussion,umich200 LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171004T105002 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171026T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171026T183000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Feast of Ideas DESCRIPTION:Choosing the right medication for someone is often based on prescriber preference and not what might be most effective for the patient. This practice often leads to a trial and error sort of practice for finding a medication that works. The field of pharmacogenomics occurs at the intersection of genetics\, pharmacology\, and clinical pharmacy. Using data from a patient’s genetic analysis\, clinicians are able to better predict which medication to use for certain gene/drug pairs\, which may lead to fewer medication-related side effects\, and overall better treatment outcomes. To do this currently\, all patients would need to undergo this testing\, which can be very expensive. Therefore\, working to better identify those patients who would benefit from this testing the most needs to be done.

Oates is the author of over 70 books\, including the novels them (1969)\, winner of the National Book Award\; Bellefleur (1980)\; You Must Remember This (1987)\; Because It Is Bitter\, and Because It Is My Heart (1990)\; We Were the Mulvaneys (1996)\; Blonde (2000)\, winner of the National Book Award\; The Gravedigger’s Daughter (2007)\; and The Accursed (2013). Her short stories and essays have appeared in the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, The Atlantic\, and Harper’s\, and have been widely anthologized. In an interview for the Paris Review\, she says: “I try to write books that can be read in one way by a literal-minded reader\, and in quite another way by a reader alert to symbolic abbreviation and parodistic elements. And yet\, it's the same book—or nearly. A trompe l'oeil\, a work of ‘as if.’”\nUMMA is pleased to be the site for the Zell Visiting Writers Series\, which brings outstanding writers each semester. The Series is made possible through a generous gift from U-M alumna Helen Zell (AB ’64\, LLDHon ’13).

Using examples from animal models\, human clinical samples\, and human population studies we will examine how many common compounds\, such as bisphenol A (BPA)\, plasticizers\, and metals\, may have deleterious consequences through abnormal epigenetic and genetic regulation. We will also discuss how unlike genetic mutations\, which are static and non-modifiable\, epigenetic programming is dynamic and potentially modifiable\, allowing for intervention approaches to improve health.

Mathematical modeling is a rapidly growing area of infectious disease epidemiology with growing impact on decision-making and policy. In this talk\, Professor Eisenberg will explore how mathematical models can be used to help forecast and design control strategies in the context of cholera\, a waterborne intestinal infection that causes 3-5 million cases/year and over 100\,000 deaths/year. She will discuss recent work modeling cholera epidemics in Haiti\, Angola\, and in Maela refugee camp in Thailand. She will examine some of the challenges when connecting models with data\, and talk about some of the new developments in blending mathematics\, statistics\, and computation to improve public health.

Presently\, understanding of sepsis is limited\, which has made its treatment very challenging. In fact\, presently\, there are no effective drug treatments for sepsis. We are using the measurement of small molecules (signals) in the blood to better understand sepsis and determine how changes in the levels of these signals reflect response to drugs. This field called metabolomics\, is also helping us identify new drug target opportunities so we can find new and effective treatments for sepsis.

The fundamental processing of DNA to RNA\, via transcription\, and RNA to protein\, via translation\, drives all cellular activities and its imbalance leads to disease. While efforts in drug discovery tend to take a more protein-centric view of the central dogma\, whereby the great majority of approved drugs target proteins\, through this presentation\, Professor Garner will try to convince you that we’ve got it all wrong. In this presentation\, she will describe new ways that U-M faculty are seeking to tackle this last frontier in drug discovery and decipher how to selectively target specific RNAs with small molecules for the treatment of human diseases.

These stories invite us to imagine U-M's future as a public university based on what we know about its past.\n\nExhibit team: Jonathan Farr\, Nora Krinitsky\, Michelle McClellan\, Gregory Parker\, Emily Price\, Kate Silbert\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester exhibit is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

Cavanagh’s work consists primarily of cut paper and mixed media. Working with these materials allows her to approach her work in much the same way a sculptor does: adding to and cutting away from. Cavanagh finds the artistic process to be deeply meditative. Cavanagh lives and has her studio in a historic home in downtown Rochester\, Michigan.

These images represent an intersection of information as well as ideas of cultural appropriation\, assimilation\, fragmentation and alteration. Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally. She is a professor at Western Michigan University and lives in Kalamazoo\, Michigan.

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696900@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171009T105559 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171027T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171027T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Majestic | Dream: A Selection of Color Woodcuts DESCRIPTION:The Confucius Institute at U-M proudly presents “Majestic | Dream\,” a solo exhibition by Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the Penny W. Stamps School of Arts and Design\, University of Michigan. Professor Poskovic’s creative practice considers a range of technologies as a way to explore certain characteristics of printed image: translation\, multiplicity\, seriality. Through his works\, Professor Poskovic seeks to construct representations that suggest broader themes of displacement\, exile\, memory and reconciliation. A frequent visitor to China\, Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, is a great admirer of Chinese and Asian visual and material arts. Poskovic’s work in woodblock relief printmedia reflects his deep fascination and a lasting involvement with Chinese intellectual and creative communities. To celebrate this long and fruitful engagement as a bridge between artistic China and the University of Michigan\, CIUM presents this exhibition.\n\nOver the course of years\, Poskovic has produced several major series of multi-plate color woodcut prints utilizing both established and non-traditional approaches frequently combining analog carving methods with laser engraving from bit-map data files. For this Confucius Institute sponsored exhibition\, Poskovic presents an intimate selection of color woodcuts from two series of works\, “Majestic” and “Dream”\, focusing on landscape imagery informed by real and imaginary topographies\, including several works which are based on his sketches drawn in China. Merging visual image with text\, Poskovic’s “Majestic Series” shifts the reading of the woodcut by providing an unexpected new context and forcing the viewer to continually reinterpret. In “Dream Series”\, Poskovic explores primitive strategies of early cinema to investigate personal and social histories\, shifting cultural identities\, environmental transformation\, migration and alienation.\n\nEndi Poskovic was educated in Yugoslavia\, Norway\, and the United States. His graphic works have been exhibited worldwide and have brought him many notable awards and honors\, including grants and fellowships from the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation\, the United States Fulbright Commission\, the Rockefeller Foundation\, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation\, the Norwegian Government\, the Camargo Foundation\, the Flemish Ministry of Culture\, the New York State Council on the Arts\, and the Art Matters Foundation\, among others. Museum collections which hold works by the artist include the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, the Harvard University Fogg Art Museum\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Jincheon Art Museum\, South Korea and others.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593365@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171024T140919 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171027T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171027T140000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:American Express Coffee Chats DESCRIPTION:American Express will host coffee chats by appointment only from 9:00am-2:00pm on Friday\, October 27 in the Duderstadt Center Room 2374 (2nd floor study room) .

Over a five-year period\, ten architectural practices will be invited to Taubman College to run a practice session. Each session centers on an immersive four-day design charette that culminates in a juried review and exhibition. These sessions are not workshops in the conventional sense. Invited practices are not selected to repeat a known and routinized working method in collaboration with students. Instead\, invitees are called to work in an experimental mode\, where everything is subject to the pressures of practice on design: the design of the session topic\, the design of the work space where the session is held\, the design of the way the session itself occupies the institution of Taubman College\, and the design of the thing(s) produced by the practice session.\nPractice Session #5 Opening lecture is on Friday\, October 20\, featuring Débora Mesa and Antón García-Abril\;\nThe workshop runs from October 21-22.

In the video Towards An Architect\, Hannu Karjalainen portrays a fictional architect who is experiencing the response of people living in the structures he designed. Daniel Rozin’s Mirror No. 10 is driven by software\, written by the artist\, that generates a real-time reflection of the environment the screen is displayed in—specifically a live sketch of the viewer approaching the frame. Mesocosm (Northumberland\, UK) is an algorithmic work by Marina Zurkow that depicts the passage of time on the moors of Northeast England.\n\nMoving Image: Portraiture is the third of three exhibitions drawn from the collection of the Borusan Contemporary\, Istanbul\, which since 2011 has been focused on media arts. The works in this series address both formal concerns and conceptual topics\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\n\nLead support for Moving Image: Portraiture is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

What did colonialism have to do with new social formations\, scales of war\, and forms of exploitation--that arose beyond the direct reach of colonizers? Did the Atlantic slave trade (which reached well into the Indian Ocean)\, or the Atlantic trade more generally\, bear strongly on relationships within and among indigenous polities distant from the colonial ports? Can proper history be written by \"reorienting\" the field to center the interior places of the continent(s)\, keeping the colonizers at the periphery? Do concepts such as \"frontier\,\" \"hybridity\,\" and \"nation\,\" obscure or reflect reality?\n \nBut for all the commonality\, the fields remain mostly ignorant of one another. This paper seeks to put historians of Eastern Native North America in conversation with South Africanists. It explains how Southern Africanists have on many scores been ahead of Native Americanists\, and it finds that while we are not really talking\, we are uncomfortably close cousins.\n\nThis session will be chaired by Brandi Hughes (Assistant Professor of History and American Culture) with comments from Matthew Villanueve (Doctoral Student in History).\n\nThis event is part of the Michigan Early Atlantic Seminar series.

To explore such spaces\, we reframe Toward a Feminist Theory of the State in terms of its epistemological project and highlight possible synchronicities with liberational features in women-of-color feminisms. This is done\, in part\, through an analysis of the philosophical role “method” plays in MacKinnon’s argument\, and by reframing her critique of juridical neutrality and objectivity as epistemic harms. In the second section\, we sketch out a provisional coalitional theory of liberation that builds on MacKinnon’s feminist epistemological insights and aligns them with decolonizing projects in women-of-color feminisms\, suggesting new directions and conceptual revisions that are on the way to coalition.\n\nSee below for link to essay.\n\nCo-sponsored by Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) UID:45041-10072851@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/45041 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Philosophy LOCATION:Angell Hall - 1164 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171019T091316 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171027T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171027T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Theory: Ratings-Based Price Discrimination DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nA long-lived consumer interacts with an infinite sequence of short-lived firms in a stationary Gaussian setting. Firms use the consumer’s rating—an aggregate measure of her purchase history—to learn about the consumer’s type\, and thus set prices. The focus is on linear Markov equilibria when ratings discount past purchases exponentially. We find that equilibrium prices are lower in expectation than in a static benchmark due to the strategic effect of privacy concerns. The precision of the information conveyed in equilibrium by a rating is non-monotone in its persistence level. Firms may prefer more persistent ratings than under public histories\, whereas high-value consumers may prefer more or less persistent ratings to uninformative ratings. Total surplus is instead maximized by uninformative ratings. Finally\, hidden ratings that are not observed by the consumer reduce the sensitivity of demand and increase the firms’ profits. Our analysis thus sheds light on the role that transparency and persistence of consumer data can have on market outcomes.\n\nhttp://web.mit.edu/gcistern/www/rating.pdf UID:42956-9685675@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42956 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 301 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170821T160402 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171027T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171027T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mastering the American Accent Workshop - For New Clients DESCRIPTION:This 10-week workshop is for students who would like help developing their language skills for improved communication.

LaVeist DESCRIPTION:Thomas A. LaVeist\, Ph.D. is chairman of the Department of Health Policy and Management at the George Washington University\, Milken Institute School of Public Health.  He has led pivotal research on the impact of socioeconomic and racial inequities on the health of individuals and communities. \n\nHis research and writing has focused on three broad thematic research questions:\n1.) What are the social and behavioral factors that predict the timing of various related health outcomes (e.g. access and utilization of health services\, mortality\, entrance into nursing home)?\n2.) What are the social and behavioral factors that explain race differences in health outcomes?\n3.) What has been the impact of social policy on the health and quality of life of African Americans? \n\nLaVeist’s specific areas of expertise include U.S. health and social policy\, the role of race in health research\, social factors contributing to mortality\, longevity and life expectancy\, quantitative and demographic analysis and access\, and utilization of health services.\n\nHis journey examining why health disparities exist began at the University of Michigan where he earned a doctorate degree in medical sociology and a postdoctoral fellowship in gerontology and Health Management & Policy at the School of Public Health. \n\nHe joined GWU after 25 years on the faculty of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health where he was the William C. and Nancy F. Richardson Professor in Health Policy and Director of the Hopkins Center for Health Disparities Solutions. \n\nLaVeist has published more than 100 articles in scientific journals and is a highly sought-after lecturer at leading universities\, corporations\, professional conferences and workshops. The second edition of his edited volume\, Race\, Ethnicity and Health: A Public Health Reader (Jossey-Bass Publishers) was published fall 2012. His most recent book project\, Legacy of the Crossing: Life\, Death\, and Triumph among Descendants of the World’s Greatest Forced Migration\, was published in 2017. His research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health\, Center for Disease Control\, Department of Defense\, Commonwealth Fund\, Sage Foundation and the Agency for Healthcare Research.  In 2013\, LaVeist was elected to membership in the National Academy of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences (formally Institute of Medicine).\n\nThe Nancy Cantor Distinguished Lectureship on Intellectual Diversity lectureship honors Cantor\, former U-M provost\, for her outstanding contributions to the University community and unwavering commitment to diversity.\n\nThe Cantor lecture is sponsored by the Office of Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion\, and supported by the School of Public Health\, Michigan Medicine\, Office of Health Equity & Inclusion\, and Institute for Social Research.

It is of particular clinical interest due to its implications for cancer treatment. It has been shown that the necrotic core within a tumor can induce local\, 5 to 10 fold increases in the potassium concentration\, which has been shown to inhibit immune cell function. However\, the development of this hyperkalemic state\, including rate\, extent\, and distribution\, are not characterized and have strong therapeutic implications. We developed a potassium nanosensor that is capable of performing as a functional photoacoustic contrast agent. The optode is based on the principle of Donnan exclusion in which a pH sensitive dye deprotonates when a potassium ionophore chelates a potassium ion. Our sensor is multimodal\, and has been calibrated for absorption\, fluorescence\, and photoacoustic read-out modes over biologically relevant potassium concentrations: 1mM to 100mM for photoacoustics and 20mM to 1M for fluorescence. The sensor shows exquisite selectivity over common interfering ions\, such as sodium\, magnesium\, and calcium. By introducing primary amines to the surface of the sensor\, we have been able to functionalize and target the sensor\, both passively through the Enhanced Permeability and Retention effect and actively via the attachment of the tumor-homing F3 peptide. The nanosensor has been applied to ex vivo samples\, where it was demonstrated that tumor samples have a relatively large concentrations of potassium compared to healthy tissue.\n\n and\n Johsh Karslake\, \"Uncovering Hidden Dynamics in Live-Cell Single Molecule Data with Bayesian Statistics\"\, ABSTRACT: Single-molecule imaging techniques localize and track individual molecules inside living cells with nanometer precision and millisecond timing\; this capability has allowed researchers to investigate many open questions across biology. However\, single-molecule image analysis is fundamentally limited by a priori model selection\, parameter unidentifiability\, and other supervisory biases. To address these issues\, we have developed an analysis framework for Single-Molecule Tracking data based on nonparametric Bayesian inference. We have validated this method using realistic simulations and simple experimental systems and finally we extend our investigations to determine the model and dynamics of the membrane-bound keystone virulence protein TcpP in live Vibrio cholerae cells.

Burke\, PhD DESCRIPTION:Deep Monitoring Chronic Disease in Underserved and Remote Populations\n\nEach day\, one-fourth of the US adult population struggles with chronic illness – diabetes\, glaucoma\, hypertension. Chronic diseases disable individuals\, burden families\, and impoverish our communities. With the proper tools\, however\, many chronic diseases can be controlled. Millions of adults need to know\, frequently and precisely\, about their own health. Unfortunately\, because of cost or location\, many people do not have easy access to a physician or trained caregiver. The demand for high-quality\, inexpensive health management remains unfulfilled. Our Team builds systems to monitor and control chronic diseases in underserved communities. We develop and produce low-cost\, physician-tested technologies for personal health assessment. With community partners\, we design and build convenient\, transportable health-stations that meet local needs. Our solutions harness the existing manufacturing\, communication\, and transportation infrastructure. As a result\, our systems are easily replicated in large numbers and can reach underserved communities rapidly. \n\nDavid Burke\, Ph.D. is currently Professor and Interim Chair in the Department of Human Genetics. He completed his BS in Biological Sciences from the University of Rochester in 1982\, a PhD in Genetics from Washington University in St. Louis in 1988\, and post-doctoral fellowship at Princeton University in 1991. He has been on the faculty of the University of Michigan\, Department of Human Genetics since 1991. His research interests include: (1) quantitative trait analysis of complex\, multigenic traits in synthetic populations of the laboratory mouse\, (2) the development of engineering systems for microsensors and microfluidic analysis\, and (3) low-cost technology systems for health care monitoring in underserved populations.\n\nThe seminar series “Providing Better Healthcare through Systems Engineering” is presented by the U-M Center for Healthcare Engineering and Patient Safety (CHEPS): Our mission is to improve the safety and quality of healthcare delivery through a multi-disciplinary\, systems-engineering approach.\nFor additional information and to be added to the weekly e-mail for the series\, \nplease contact genehkim@umich.edu UID:46315-10432713@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/46315 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Industrial and Operations Engineering,Lecture LOCATION:Lurie Biomedical Engineering (formerly ATL) - 1123 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171023T110127 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171027T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171027T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Linguistics Bicentennial Colloquium DESCRIPTION:How Linguistics Gets Lost in Public Debates About Language\n\nAnne Curzan\nUniversity of Michigan\n\nLinguists lament that people of all education levels often seem more inclined to listen to self-proclaimed prescriptive language experts like William Safire\, Lynne Truss\, and William Strunk and E. B. White\, than to linguists. When it comes to physics\, people turn to physicists as the experts to consult on the topic\; when it comes to language\, people often turn to experts without training in linguistics. How\, then\, can those with linguistics expertise effectively intervene in a public discourse where nonstandard varieties are still regularly denigrated and standard varieties are referred to as “good English” or just “English”?\n This talk\, focused on the U.S. context\, considers the ideologies that linguists and non-linguists share and don’t share about standard and nonstandard varieties\, “grammar\,” and prescriptive rules about what constitutes “good usage” in order to map potential shared conversational ground and productive strategies for addressing misunderstandings and misinformation. I assess language linguists have used to talk about prescriptivism with non-experts and analyze the language of public responses to descriptivist arguments. I cannot yet share David Crystal’s optimistic argument in Stories of English (2004) that we are nearing the end of a “linguistically intolerant era\,” and this talk seeks to lay out new ways forward for having a constructive\, civil conversation about prescriptivism\, language variation\, and language change both within the academy and far beyond it.\n\n---\n\nAssociate Dean for the Humanities and Professor Anne Curzan will give a talk as part of the U-M Department of Linguistics Bicentennial event\, \"Linguistics and the Lived Experience of Language.\" The talk by will center on engaging in public facing linguistic work.

Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

Cavanagh’s work consists primarily of cut paper and mixed media. Working with these materials allows her to approach her work in much the same way a sculptor does: adding to and cutting away from. Cavanagh finds the artistic process to be deeply meditative. Cavanagh lives and has her studio in a historic home in downtown Rochester\, Michigan.

These images represent an intersection of information as well as ideas of cultural appropriation\, assimilation\, fragmentation and alteration. Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally.

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696901@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171028T060021 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171028T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171028T120000 SUMMARY:Other:Home Game vs. Rutgers DESCRIPTION:Home big 10 league match vs. Rutgers.  UID:44752-9971850@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44752 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Mitchell Field CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171009T105559 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171028T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171028T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Majestic | Dream: A Selection of Color Woodcuts DESCRIPTION:The Confucius Institute at U-M proudly presents “Majestic | Dream\,” a solo exhibition by Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the Penny W. Stamps School of Arts and Design\, University of Michigan. Professor Poskovic’s creative practice considers a range of technologies as a way to explore certain characteristics of printed image: translation\, multiplicity\, seriality. Through his works\, Professor Poskovic seeks to construct representations that suggest broader themes of displacement\, exile\, memory and reconciliation. A frequent visitor to China\, Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, is a great admirer of Chinese and Asian visual and material arts. Poskovic’s work in woodblock relief printmedia reflects his deep fascination and a lasting involvement with Chinese intellectual and creative communities. To celebrate this long and fruitful engagement as a bridge between artistic China and the University of Michigan\, CIUM presents this exhibition.\n\nOver the course of years\, Poskovic has produced several major series of multi-plate color woodcut prints utilizing both established and non-traditional approaches frequently combining analog carving methods with laser engraving from bit-map data files. For this Confucius Institute sponsored exhibition\, Poskovic presents an intimate selection of color woodcuts from two series of works\, “Majestic” and “Dream”\, focusing on landscape imagery informed by real and imaginary topographies\, including several works which are based on his sketches drawn in China. Merging visual image with text\, Poskovic’s “Majestic Series” shifts the reading of the woodcut by providing an unexpected new context and forcing the viewer to continually reinterpret. In “Dream Series”\, Poskovic explores primitive strategies of early cinema to investigate personal and social histories\, shifting cultural identities\, environmental transformation\, migration and alienation.\n\nEndi Poskovic was educated in Yugoslavia\, Norway\, and the United States. His graphic works have been exhibited worldwide and have brought him many notable awards and honors\, including grants and fellowships from the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation\, the United States Fulbright Commission\, the Rockefeller Foundation\, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation\, the Norwegian Government\, the Camargo Foundation\, the Flemish Ministry of Culture\, the New York State Council on the Arts\, and the Art Matters Foundation\, among others. Museum collections which hold works by the artist include the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, the Harvard University Fogg Art Museum\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Jincheon Art Museum\, South Korea and others.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593366@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171009T153917 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171028T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171028T133000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Football Saturday Lunch at Bursley Dining Hall DESCRIPTION:It's homecoming!

In the video Towards An Architect\, Hannu Karjalainen portrays a fictional architect who is experiencing the response of people living in the structures he designed. Daniel Rozin’s Mirror No. 10 is driven by software\, written by the artist\, that generates a real-time reflection of the environment the screen is displayed in—specifically a live sketch of the viewer approaching the frame. Mesocosm (Northumberland\, UK) is an algorithmic work by Marina Zurkow that depicts the passage of time on the moors of Northeast England.\n\nMoving Image: Portraiture is the third of three exhibitions drawn from the collection of the Borusan Contemporary\, Istanbul\, which since 2011 has been focused on media arts. The works in this series address both formal concerns and conceptual topics\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\n\nLead support for Moving Image: Portraiture is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

Part II: Abstraction\, on view in the A. Alfred Taubman Gallery July 1 through October 29\, showcases modern and contemporary art by Pablo Picasso\, Alberto Giacometti\,\nLouise Nevelson\, Christo\, Lorna Simpson\, José Parlá\, and Do Ho Su\, among others. It also features a fifth-century Korean roof end tile and an Amish quilt\, as well as a work by an Inuit master—thus inviting visitors to explore the pleasures of abstraction across a wide range of media\, eras\, and genres. UMMA extends Part II: Abstraction into the Irving Stenn\, Jr. Family Gallery from August 19 through November 26\, 2017\, with the site-specific installation of Random International’s LED-light and motion-sensing dynamic sculpture\, Swarm Study / II. Victors for Art offers an unprecedented opportunity to view art that may have never been publicly displayed otherwise—and most certainly\, not all together.
