SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Writing a Diversity Statement
DESCRIPTION:With the increased visibility of issues of DEI\, employers are beginning to consider how their employees contribute to the diversity of the institution. Many academic employers have begun to request a diversity statement as part of the application process. In this interactive session\, we will discuss best practices for writing diversity statements\, examine sample statements\, and work through activities designed to help participants start writing their own statement.\n\nPre-registration is required at https://secure.rackham.umich.edu/wsEvents/wsreg.php?ws_id=496.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Development and Applications of Ultrasound Techniques for Characterization and Stimulation of Engineered Tissues
DESCRIPTION:Mechanobiology is central in the development\, pathology\, and regeneration of musculoskeletal tissues\, in which mechanical factors play important roles. Therefore there is a need for methods to characterize the composition and mechanical properties of developing musculoskeletal tissues over time. Ultrasound elastographic techniques have been developed for noninvasive imaging of spatial heterogeneity in tissue stiffness. However\, their application for quantitative assessment of tissue mechanical properties\, especially viscoelastic properties\, has not been exploited. Additionally\, ultrasound energy may be used to apply mechanical stimulation to engineered constructs at the microscale\, and thereby to enhance tissue regeneration.\n\nWe have developed a multimode ultrasound viscoelastography (MUVE) system for assessing microscale mechanical properties of engineered hydrogels. MUVE uses focused ultrasound pulses to apply acoustic radiation force (ARF) to deform samples\, while concurrently measuring sample dimensions using coaxial high frequency ultrasound imaging. We used MUVE to perform creep tests on agarose\, collagen\, and fibrin hydrogels of defined concentrations\, as well as to monitor the mechanical properties of cell-seeded constructs over time. Local and bulk viscoelastic properties were extracted from strain-time curves through fitting of relevant constitutive models\, showing clear differences between concentrations and materials. In particular\, we showed that MUVE is capable of mapping heterogeneity of samples in 3D. Using inclusion of dense agarose microbeads within agarose\, collagen and fibrin hydrogels\, we determined the spatial resolution of MUVE to be approximately 200 μm in both the lateral and axial directions. Comparison of MUVE to nanoindentation and shear rheometry showed that our ultrasound-based technique was superior in generating consistent\, microscale data\, particularly for very soft materials.\n\nWe have also adapted MUVE to generate localized cyclic compression\, as a means to mechanically stimulate engineered tissue constructs at the microscale. Selected treatment protocols were shown to enhance the osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells in collagen-fibrin hydrogels. Constructs treated at 1 Hz at an acoustic pressure of 0.7 MPa for 30 minutes per day showed accelerated osteogenesis and increased mineralization by 10 to 30 percent\, relative to unstimulated controls. In separate experiments\, the ultrasound pulse intensity was increased over time to compensate for changes in matrix properties over time\, and a 35 percent increase in mineralization was achieved.\n\nWe also extended the application of a previously-developed spectral ultrasound imaging (SUSI) technique to an animal model for early detection of heterotopic ossification (HO). The quantitative information on acoustic scatterer size and concentration derived from SUSI was used to differentiate tissue composition in a burn/tenotomy mice model from the control model. Importantly\, HO foci were detected as early as one week after injury using SUSI\, which is 3-5 weeks earlier than when using conventional micro-computed tomography.\n\nTaken together\, these results demonstrate that ultrasound-based techniques can non-invasively and quantitatively characterize viscoelastic properties of soft materials in 3D\, as well as their composition over time. Ultrasound pulses can also be used to stimulate engineered constructs to promote musculoskeletal tissue formation. MUVE\, SUSI\, and ultrasound stimulation can be combined into an integrated system to investigate the roles of matrix composition\, static mechanical environment\, and dynamic mechanical stimuli in tissue regeneration\, as well as the interactions of these factors and their evolution over time. Ultrasound-based techniques therefore have promising potential in noninvasively characterizing the composition and biomechanics\, as well as providing mechanical intervention in native and engineered tissues as they develop over time.\n\nDate:           	Thursday\, January 11\, 2018\nTime:           	2:00 PM\nLocation:     	General Motors Conference Room\, Lurie Engineering Center\nChair:          	Dr. Cheri X.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:“Bioelectronics for tissue and organ interfaces: from tissue-like electronics to genetically-targeted  biosynthetic electrodes”
DESCRIPTION:Jia Liu\, Ph.D.\nBME Faculty Candidate and Guest Speaker\nStanford University\n\nAbstract:  \nRapid progress in materials science and electronics has blurred the distinction between man-made electronic devices and biological systems. Seamless integration of electronic devices with living systems could contribute substantially to basic biology as well as to clinical diagnostics and therapeutics through tissue-electronics interfaces. In this presentation\, I will first introduce a syringe-injectable tissue-like mesh electronics for merging nanoelectronic arrays and circuits with the brain in three-dimension (3D). The injectable mesh electronics has micrometer feature size and effective bending stiffness values similar to neural tissues. These unprecedented features lead to the gliosis-free and 3D interpenetrated electronics-neuron network\, enabling the chronically stable neuron activity recording at single-neuron resolution in behaving animals. Second\, I will describe a fully stretchable electronic sensor array through the development of multiple chemically-orthogonal and intrinsically stretchable polymeric electronic materials. The fully stretchable sensor array has modulus similar to biological tissues\, allowing an intimate mechanical coupling with heart for a stable and anatomically precise electrophysiological recording. Its application for high-throughput and high-density mapping of 3D cardiac arrhythmogenic activities on the porcine model with a chronic atrial fibrillation will be discussed. Third\, I will present a fundamentally new approach for a direct formation of electrical connections with genetically-targeted cells. This approach is accomplished through the convergence of genome engineering\, in situ enzymatic reaction and polymer chemistry. These genetically-targeted electrodes are inherently assembled to the subcellular-specific region of neurons throughout the intact functional neural tissue and in stem cell-derived human brain organoids. Importantly\, this system also enables the cellular-resolution tuning of local neuronal activity and bridging of brain regions to external devices for the targeted recording. Finally\, I will briefly discuss the prospects for future advances in bioelectronics to overcome challenges in neuroscience and cardiology through the development of “cyborg animals” with single-cell resolution and cell-type specificity.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE585 Graduate Seminar Series - Hypersonic Waverider Vehicles - Computed Operability Limits and Design Optimization
DESCRIPTION:James F. Driscoll\, Arthur B. Modine Professor\, Department of Aerospace Engineering\, University of Michigan\n\nSeveral design rules are discussed that can be helpful in optimizing the design and the ascent trajectory of a generic (X-43 like) hypersonic vehicle that is powered by a dual-mode ramjet-scramjet engine. This talk discusses some results of recent Ph.D. theses of Drs. Chukwuka Mbagwu and Chris Marley. The focus is on “vehicle integration” design rules that account for realistic constraints\, including the requirement that the vehicle must be trimmed at all points along an ascent trajectory and that additive drag and vehicle stability are considered. A hypersonic waverider does not follow rules for a conventional airplane\, where the goal is a large ratio of wing area to frontal area in order to maximize Lift/Drag ratio. Nor does a waverider follow rules for a rocket (where the goal is to maximize the Thrust/Drag ratio\, requiring a small ratio of wing area to frontal area). Instead a waverider requires an optimization of both T/D and L/D. Parameters that were varied were: aspect ratio\, engine width\, chord length\, acceleration and flight Mach number (M). Advantages of a Reduced Order Model (ROM) are discussed.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Communication and Media Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, South Asian Americans or desis\, as they are colloquially known\, seem to be making inroads into U.S. national consciousness as pop-culture icons\, cultural commentators and media content creators. However\, there also remains plenty of evidence that historical legacies of racism\, Orientalism\, and colonialism continue to shape mainstream imaginations about South Asian Americans as characters\, as creative professionals\, as audiences\, and as a cultural group. In this presentation\, I draw on the research for my current book project\, Race and Ethnicity in U.S. Media Industries\, and offer a combination of institutional\, textual and discursive analyses of trade and consumer reports\, “diversity” initiatives\, entertainment media texts\, multicultural advertising and interviews of actors and writers. I locate the increased visibility of South Asian Americans in the U.S. media within the ongoing industry investment in notions of “diversity” and “multicultural consumers.” I contend that dominant industry narratives about “diversity” sidestep the issues of institutional and structural racism as well as problematic narratives about race and difference in media representations and storytelling. I argue that the ongoing rebranding of U.S. media capital by incorporating ethnicity and immigrant culture into its core business outlook is shaped by\, and in turn shaping\, what I call the culture of “screening desis.” I consider screening in three ways—as an interactive interface (social media)\, a projection of images (diverse representations across media) and as a filter that regulates (the policing of desi bodies on the screen and behind it).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar: Mutation\, drift\, and the origin of subcellular features
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nAlthough natural selection may be the most powerful force in the biological world\, it is not all powerful. As a consequence\, many aspects of evolution of the molecular level can only be explained by the inability of natural selection to operate. This general principle explains a lot about the diversity of genome architectures across species\, and also appears to extend to numerous higher-level features of cells: the evolution of the ~1000-fold range in mutation rates that exists among species\; greatly elevated rates of transcription error\; the divergence of the multimeric states of proteins\; and the phylogenetic drift of gene-regulatory vocabulary.\n\nAn attempt will be made to describe how these biological observations can be explained at the theoretical level\, in some cases using methods derived from statistical mechanics. A fundamental principle is that although natural selection relentlessly pushes traits to the highest possible level of refinement\, the limits to perfection are dictated by the power of random genetic drift rather than by intrinsic molecular limitations on repair mechanisms or by selection for an optimum mutation rate. The implications of this drift-barrier hypothesis are that the population-genetic environment imposes a fundamental constraint on the paths that are open vs. closed for evolutionary exploration in various phylogenetic lineages\, hence defining the patterns of adaptation seen at the molecular and cellular level. Additional examples may be drawn from recent observations on the bioenergetic costs of maintaining and expressing genes.\n\nLight refreshments are served at 4 p.m.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:EXHIBITION ON VIEW: CLOUD/BANK
DESCRIPTION:Cloud/Bank is a temporary installation designed for Exhibit Columbus\, a 2017 exhibition and conference in Columbus\, Indiana\, by Architecture Lecturer Michael (Mick) Kennedy and a team of Taubman College M.Arch. students: Bob Allsop\, Sophie Anstreicher\, Scott Chriss\, Chiao-Chun Chung\, Julia Dallas\, Kelly Gregory\, Karl Heckman\, Rachael Henry\, Troy Huckendubler\, Onur Kamburoglu\, Panquat Kyesmu\, Jenny Lee\, Sarah Munchow\, Kelsey Reynolds\, Dan Smith\, Tyler Whitney\, Paco Wu\, Shujie Xie\, Jon Yates\, and Yunsen Zhong. The project’s goal is to embody and communicate the historic legacy of the distributed networks of design and fabrication of both industry and agriculture in the Great Lakes / Midwest Region.\n\nCloud/Bank features advanced manufacturing techniques in architectural design that are unique to Taubman College. The students worked on parts of the project at the College’s FABLab. The project leverages a robotic fabrication technique developed by Assistant Professor and FabLab Director Wes McGee. The process utilizes a six-axis industrial robot augmented with a servo-controlled wire bending system to form three-dimensional shapes out of standardized steel rods.\n\nU-M is one of five universities selected to participate in Exhibit Columbus\, along with Ball State University College of Architecture and Planning\; The Ohio State University Austin E. Knowlton School of Architecture\; University of Cincinnati School of Architecture and Interior Design\; and the University of Kentucky College of Design\, School of Architecture. Each university received $10\,000 to support the cost of materials\, fabrication and installation of the project.\n\nExhibit Columbus is an annual exploration of architecture\, art\, design\, and community in Columbus\, Indiana. This year's exhibition included outdoor installations by five Miller Prize-winning architecture firms\, five international design studios\, and six Midwestern architecture and design schools. In Columbus\, Cloud/Bank was located near Central Middle School\, designed by Perkins + Will\, and Lincoln Signature Academy\, designed by Gunnar Birkerts & Associates. Following the exhibition in Columbus\, Cloud/Bank will be on view in the Liberty Research Annex Gallery through February 11\, 2018.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Images in Crisis: Experiments in the Photographic Unseen
DESCRIPTION:This lecture takes as its starting point Régis Durand’s evocative description of photographs as “images in crisis\,” in which “something in them is always trying to run off\, to vanish.” It moves through nineteenth and twentieth century photography history in establishing photography as a sequential and grammatical art that denaturalizes the real through its silences\, absences\, and equivocations. In this way\, photography offers a compelling model for reading a composite mode of modernist writing that shares its fragmentary aesthetic and narrative form—and for reconceiving the gendered subject–object relations in that writing\, as modernism’s women seem to run off\, to vanish\, before our eyes. Interleaved with critical–creative readings of individual photographs\, drawn from a forthcoming scholarly project to be released on Instagram in February 2018\, this lecture is an experiment in an elliptical\, associative mode of argumentation that mimes photography’s logic of incongruous juxtaposition.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Owning Expertise: A Live Experiment in How Credibility Works and How Ideas Rise
DESCRIPTION:This interactive keynote lecture presents current data on the demographics of public discourse\, and addresses core questions of thought leadership: what do we know\, why does it matter\, and how can we maximize our impact? We will also do a large-group experiment in credibility. Participants will walk away with bold ideas\, a deeper sense of what they\, as well as their colleagues\, know and stand for\, and actionable steps.\n\nWhat is The OpEd Project?\n\nThe OpEd Project is a think tank and leadership organization founded to ensure the full range of human voices is included in history. OpEd accelerates the ideas and public impact of underrepresented voices\, including women. One near term goal is to increase the volume of women thought leaders in key commentary forums—which are a key source of history—to a tipping point. Partnering with universities\, think tanks\, non-profits\, and corporations\, OpEd targets and trains underrepresented experts (including women) to take thought leadership positions in their fields connecting them with a network of high-level journalist mentors\; and channeling the best new experts and ideas to media across all platforms.  Op-ed is used (which is defined broadly\, to mean an idea of public value in any media platform) as a strategic metric of concrete results.\n\nPresented by the Institute for the Humanities\, College of LSA\, and the U-M ADVANCE Program.

SUMMARY:Presentation:CANCELED - Anicka Yi: The Flavor Genome
DESCRIPTION:The Anicka Yi presentation scheduled to take place on Thursday\, January 11 has been canceled.  \n\nAnicka Yi is a New York City based conceptual artist whose work is grounded in scent\, tactility\, and perishability. Winner of the 2016 Hugo Boss Prize presented by the Guggenheim\, Yi is interested in communicating with audiences through visceral sensory experiences\, often using fragrance as a way to expand traditionally visual artist/audience dichotomies. Her installations\, which draw on scientific concepts and techniques to activate vivid fictional scenarios\, ask incisive questions about human psychology and the workings of society. Yi uses unconventional materials to examine what she calls “a bio-politics of the senses\,” or how assumptions and anxieties related to gender\, race\, and class shape physical perception. Recent institutional solo exhibitions of her work include the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York\; Fridericianum\, Kassel\; Kunsthalle Basel\; List Visual Arts Center\, Cambridge\, Massachusetts\; The Kitchen\, New York\; and The Cleveland Museum of Art. Yi has screened her film\, The Flavor Genome\, at the International Film Festival of Rotterdam in 2017. She is represented by 47 Canal\, New York.\n\nThis Penny Stamps Speaker Series event is supported by the Institute for the Humanities and the Chelsea River Gallery.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:URBAN AND REGIONAL PLANNING MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. SYMPOSIUM\, \"THE OTHER DETROIT”
DESCRIPTION:In his speech The Other America\, Martin Luther King Jr. laments that “every city in our country has this kind of dualism\, this schizophrenia\, split at so many parts\, and so every city ends up being two cities rather than one.” In some ways\, the trajectory of contemporary development in Detroit is indeed creating this tale of two cities to which King alluded. Detroit’s transformative downtown revitalization has brought an influx of economic activity which has generated much excitement about the city’s future. Yet\, Detroit’s “comeback” has largely been confined  to 7.2 miles square miles surrounding the downtown Woodward corridor.\n\nThis raises the question of whether “The Other Detroit\,” the remaining 131 square miles comprising the city’s largely black neighborhoods\, will begin to share in the benefits of Detroit’s growth. In the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King\, this panel will discuss the implications of disparate development patterns in Detroit\, exploring structural and community-based strategies for redirecting investment in favor of the city’s most disadvantaged\, longstanding residents.\n\nPanelists:\nSonya Mays\, President and CEO of Develop Detroit \nKim Sherobbi\, Community Practitioner\, James & Grace Lee Boggs Center\nSarida Scott Montgomery: Executive Director of Community Development Advocates of Detroit (CDAD) \nMonique Becker\, Development Associate\, The Platform

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Window Installation | Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled \"Cosmogonic Tattoos\,\" his project uses adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ink Portraits
DESCRIPTION:Based out of Chelsea\, Michigan\, John Pappas believes that if you can imagine a fun idea making sense\, you should make it. He applies this to both his graphic design and fine art. With so much to see and ruminate on in life\, Pappas keeps his hands busy by putting pen to paper. This body of work consists of portraits drawn with ink on a variety of surfaces including paper\, basswood and aspen panels in an offbeat pen and ink style that leans heavily on pointillism and crosshatching. The subjects range from athletes to musicians to personal friends.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents My Playground: Assemblage Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Starting with watercolor\, Joan Painter-Jones’ work kept building out farther and farther until it became sculpture. Brought up in a household where money was tight\, she doesn’t like to waste anything and is captivated by old scraps of things with peeling paint and rusty metal – especially broken things that have a story to tell. She usually starts out with an interesting piece of wood and builds on it\, often painting on it and adding collage\, all while developing an emotional connection to it. Working in her quiet Milan\, Michigan backyard art loft “playground\,” she has no message to preach with her work\, just her own personal wish for peace and justice.

DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Flint\, Michigan\, Daniel Sidoli has always had the creative itch. It led him to the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas and a BA degree in Fine Arts. With this body of work\, his intent is to capture images that illustrate the unique landscape that erosion sculpts over time. His goal with photography is to be artistic yet convey truth. He wants the subject to inspire the audience and leave a lasting impression: to elicit an emotional response. Each image represents moments in time and of journeys traveled\, both figuratively and literally\, since he is involved in every step of the process as he sees each piece to completion.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:of 72
DESCRIPTION:Note: Ebony Patterson Stamps lecture takes place Feb 1\, 5pm\, at the Michigan Theater\, immediately followed at 6pm by artist reception at the Institute for the Humanities.\n\n“What happens when seventy-two men and one woman die and no one knows who they are?” Jamaican artist Ebony Patterson’s of 72—a mixed media work on fabric with digital imagery\, embroidery\, rhinestones\, trimmings\, bandanas\, and floral appliques—considers the 2010 “Tivoli Incursion”  in Kingston\, Jamaica. This armed conflict between the Shower Posse drug cartel and Jamaica's military and police took place when security forces began searching for drug lord Christopher \"Dudus\" Coke\, after the United States requested his extradition. The violence killed at least 73 civilians.\n\n\"Of 72\" will be in conversation with Patterson's more recent work \"...And Babies...\" created at the Tyler School of Art\, Temple University. The lush tapestry-like floor piece continues where \"Of 72\" leaves us and serves to honor both the spirit and the loss of so many black bodies...women\, little boys\, little girls\, even babies\, subjected to acts of violence and abuse.  \n\nEbony G. Patterson is a Jamaican artist born in Kingston\, Jamaica. She studied at Edna Manley College of Visual and Performing Arts and the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis. An assistant professor in painting at the University of Kentucky\, she has shown her artwork in numerous solo and private exhibitions and is represented by Monique Meloche Gallery.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection
DESCRIPTION:\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" showcases the master draftsmanship of two of the most significant artists of the twentieth century: Henri Matisse (1869–1954) and Ellsworth Kelly (1923–2015). Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. To accompany the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse made in the first half of the 20th century\, which reveal his process and range of creativity as a draftsman\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France during the 1960s\, when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Together\, the works by Matisse and Kelly form a thought-provoking\, visually striking artistic dialogue\, allowing viewers to experience one artist through the eyes of another and to immerse themselves in the pleasures of close looking.\n                                                                                                                                                                        \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E. Thaw Charitable Trust and The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation. Additional support provided by the JFM Foundation and Mrs. Donald M. Cox.\n\nLead support for the local presentation of this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and the University of Michigan Ross School of Business and the Department of the History of Art.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Paul Rand
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter
DESCRIPTION:Australian artist Patricia Piccinini’s strange\, hyperreal yet sentimental sculptures are often rooted in her speculative visualizations of future species—beings transformed by\, or even created by\, developments in genetic engineering and technology.  On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Shizhe Chen\, Department of Statistics and Grossman Center  for the Statistics of Mind\, Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:New techniques in neuroscience have opened the door to rich new data sets of neural activities. These data sets shed light on the computational foundation of the brain\, i.e.\, neurons and synapses. However\, these data also present unprecedented challenges: novel statistical theory and methods are required to model neural activities\, and well-designed experiments are needed to collect informative data. In this talk\, we take on the task of learning connectivity among large sets of neurons. In particular\, we discuss i) how to learn functional connectivity from spike train data using the Hawkes process\, and ii) how to optimally design experiments to collect data that allow us\, for the first time\, to learn physiological connectivity in vivo.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Excuses and Justifications in Epistemology
DESCRIPTION:Epistemology concerns what we should believe. Ethics concerns what we should do. Much recent work in the two fields emphasizes their similarities—their shared concern with oughts\, normativity\, and how things should be in some broad sense—over their differences. An increasingly influential argumentative strategy in the spirit of this broader trend is to argue that the distinction between justifications and excuses—familiar in ethics and the philosophy of law—can be exported to epistemology\, where it can do substantial philosophical work. Timothy Williamson\, Clayton Littlejohn\, Amia Srinivasan\, John Hawthorne\, Jason Stanley\, and others have all argued\, in one form or another\, that many mistakes in epistemology are the consequence of conflating the distinction between justified belief on the one hand\, and merely excusable or blameless belief on the other.\n\nUltimately\, I suspect that this move is too quick—the justification/excuse distinction cannot be straightforwardly or uncritically adopted by epistemologists. But vindicating this suspicion is a major task. My argumentative strategy will involve paying close attention to the roles the excuse/justification distinction plays in the law\, and arguing that there aren’t analogous roles to be played by a similar distinction in epistemology.  Stepping back\, my broader hope is to sound a cautionary note about drawing parallels between practical and epistemic normativity. Concepts and distinctions that have application in the former domain don't 'automatically' have application in the latter\, and when they do\, it takes theoretical work to show this.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Semiars | SIMPs and ELDERs: New Ideas for Dark Matter
DESCRIPTION:Dark Matter could reside in a hidden sector with gauge structure similar to the Standard Model. In particular\, the hidden sector may include a non-Abelian gauge interaction with confinement scale around 100 MeV\, similar to our QCD. Dark mesons\, counterparts of the usual pions\, kaons etc.\, can then play the role of dark matter. Such particles may experience strong number-changing self-interactions\, similar to the 2K<->3pi scattering familiar in QCD. Intriguingly\, such self-interactions can naturally produce a thermal relic abundance of dark mesons consistent with observations. In this talk we will explore two variations of this basic scenario\, “Strongly-Interacting Massive Particle” (SIMP) and “Elastically-Decoupling Relic” (ELDER). We will discuss the basic features of each scenario\, explicit models in which they may be realized\, and their experimental signatures.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Mineral Exploration and Discovery in Africa\, and their Benefits to African Geoscientists - the Ivanhoe Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Ivanhoe Mines and its predecessor companies (e.g. Ivanplats) have been active in Africa for over 20 years\, primarily in the well-known geological provinces of the Central African Copperbelt (DRC\, Zambia) and the Bushveld Complex (South Africa). Discoveries of world-class deposits at Kamoa (Cu) in 2008\, Flatreef (PGE–Ni–Cu) in 2010\, and Kakula (Cu) in 2016\, as well as acquisition of the formerly producing Kipushi mine (Cu-Zn) in 2012\, have transformed the company from a small\, private junior explorer to a prominent\, publically traded mining and development company.  Ivanhoe’s discoveries came in areas dismissed as geologically un-prospective\, and have had fundamental impacts on geological understanding and mineralization models in the Copperbelt and Bushveld. They have also brought substantial benefits and employment to local economies and people\, including geoscientists. Ivanhoe is proud to sponsor a wide range of community and sustainability projects\, education and technical training\, and undergraduate to graduate level studies and research projects.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Seeking Henri: Matisse Through the Eyes of Ellsworth Kelly
DESCRIPTION:This program is free and open to the public. Seating is first come first served.\n\nJohn R. Stomberg\, the Virginia Rice Kelsey 1961s Director at the Hood Museum of Art\, Dartmouth College\, worked directly with the late Ellsworth Kelly to create the exhibition Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection now on view at UMMA through February 18\, 2018.\n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Stomberg will begin by tracing the creative evolution of each artist in turn. Matisse got his start in Paris in the late 1880s just as construction workers completed the Eiffel Tower\; Kelly moved there during the reconstruction years that followed World War II. While they shared a passion for color\, the expressiveness of line\, and the vast potential for a collage-based aesthetic\, they did not have a personal relationship. Then\, through an overview of the drawings included in the exhibition\, Stomberg will share insights gleaned on both artists while co-curating the exhibition with Kelly.\n\nJohn R. Stomberg is the Virginia Rice Kelsey 1961s Director of the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College. Before joining Dartmouth he served as the Florence Finch Abbott Director of the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum and the Joseph Allen Skinner Museum and held leadership positions at the Williams College Museum of Art and the Boston University Art Gallery. He holds a BA from Georgetown University and both an MA and Ph.D from Boston University—all in art history. The primary focus of his curatorial work is American art and culture since 1900. Moving between photography\, prints\, paintings\, sculpture\, media art\, and installation work\, his exhibitions have been conceived to broaden our understanding of how art operates in\, and often shapes\, society.  He publishes on modern and contemporary art and issues directly related to museums\, education\, and academia.\n\nMatisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation. \n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E. Thaw Charitable Trust and The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation. Additional support provided by the JFM Foundation and Mrs. Donald M. Cox.\n\nLead support for the local presentation of this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and the University of Michigan Ross School of Business and the Department of the History of Art.

DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled \"Cosmogonic Tattoos\,\" his project uses adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity.

DESCRIPTION:Based out of Chelsea\, Michigan\, John Pappas believes that if you can imagine a fun idea making sense\, you should make it. He applies this to both his graphic design and fine art. With so much to see and ruminate on in life\, Pappas keeps his hands busy by putting pen to paper. This body of work consists of portraits drawn with ink on a variety of surfaces including paper\, basswood and aspen panels in an offbeat pen and ink style that leans heavily on pointillism and crosshatching. The subjects range from athletes to musicians to personal friends.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents My Playground: Assemblage Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Starting with watercolor\, Joan Painter-Jones’ work kept building out farther and farther until it became sculpture. Brought up in a household where money was tight\, she doesn’t like to waste anything and is captivated by old scraps of things with peeling paint and rusty metal – especially broken things that have a story to tell. She usually starts out with an interesting piece of wood and builds on it\, often painting on it and adding collage\, all while developing an emotional connection to it. Working in her quiet Milan\, Michigan backyard art loft “playground\,” she has no message to preach with her work\, just her own personal wish for peace and justice.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Prairie Mantras: Paint & Vinyl on Aluminum
DESCRIPTION:Desiree Warren’s current body of work is a journey using one shape (the orzo) to create a multitude of layers that evoke landscapes and organic assimilations. Growing up in the country in Kansas\, she had wide open spaces to explore\, as well as many of her family’s dilapidated farm buildings and overgrown pasture lands. At the University of Kansas\, she began working with street sign material and has continued to incorporate aluminum and vinyl in her work.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Desert Southwest: Photography
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Flint\, Michigan\, Daniel Sidoli has always had the creative itch. It led him to the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas and a BA degree in Fine Arts. With this body of work\, his intent is to capture images that illustrate the unique landscape that erosion sculpts over time. His goal with photography is to be artistic yet convey truth. He wants the subject to inspire the audience and leave a lasting impression: to elicit an emotional response. Each image represents moments in time and of journeys traveled\, both figuratively and literally\, since he is involved in every step of the process as he sees each piece to completion.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Life and Times of Lizzy Bennet
DESCRIPTION:As the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen’s death\, 2017 presents an opportunity to showcase not only significant early editions of Austen’s works held in the Special Collections Library\, but a much broader swath of materials revealing the historical milieu in which she and her characters lived.\n\nThe 1780s-1810s was a tumultuous time period in Britain with effects reaching to the present day\, and we are fortunate to be able to draw on a rich collection of sources that illustrate Austen’s historical moment\, from A Companion to the Ballroom and The Book of Common Prayer to An Essay on the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species... and A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.\n\nThe Library will be closed December 23 to January 1.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection
DESCRIPTION:\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" showcases the master draftsmanship of two of the most significant artists of the twentieth century: Henri Matisse (1869–1954) and Ellsworth Kelly (1923–2015). Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. To accompany the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse made in the first half of the 20th century\, which reveal his process and range of creativity as a draftsman\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France during the 1960s\, when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Together\, the works by Matisse and Kelly form a thought-provoking\, visually striking artistic dialogue\, allowing viewers to experience one artist through the eyes of another and to immerse themselves in the pleasures of close looking.\n                                                                                                                                                                        \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Paul Rand
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter
DESCRIPTION:Australian artist Patricia Piccinini’s strange\, hyperreal yet sentimental sculptures are often rooted in her speculative visualizations of future species—beings transformed by\, or even created by\, developments in genetic engineering and technology.  On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Window Installation | Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled \"Cosmogonic Tattoos\,\" his project uses adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity.

DESCRIPTION:Based out of Chelsea\, Michigan\, John Pappas believes that if you can imagine a fun idea making sense\, you should make it. He applies this to both his graphic design and fine art. With so much to see and ruminate on in life\, Pappas keeps his hands busy by putting pen to paper.

The subjects range from athletes to musicians to personal friends.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents My Playground: Assemblage Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Starting with watercolor\, Joan Painter-Jones’ work kept building out farther and farther until it became sculpture. Brought up in a household where money was tight\, she doesn’t like to waste anything and is captivated by old scraps of things with peeling paint and rusty metal – especially broken things that have a story to tell. She usually starts out with an interesting piece of wood and builds on it\, often painting on it and adding collage\, all while developing an emotional connection to it. Working in her quiet Milan\, Michigan backyard art loft “playground\,” she has no message to preach with her work\, just her own personal wish for peace and justice.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Desert Southwest: Photography
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Flint\, Michigan\, Daniel Sidoli has always had the creative itch. It led him to the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas and a BA degree in Fine Arts. With this body of work\, his intent is to capture images that illustrate the unique landscape that erosion sculpts over time. His goal with photography is to be artistic yet convey truth. He wants the subject to inspire the audience and leave a lasting impression: to elicit an emotional response. Each image represents moments in time and of journeys traveled\, both figuratively and literally\, since he is involved in every step of the process as he sees each piece to completion.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection
DESCRIPTION:\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" showcases the master draftsmanship of two of the most significant artists of the twentieth century: Henri Matisse (1869–1954) and Ellsworth Kelly (1923–2015). Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. To accompany the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse made in the first half of the 20th century\, which reveal his process and range of creativity as a draftsman\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France during the 1960s\, when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Together\, the works by Matisse and Kelly form a thought-provoking\, visually striking artistic dialogue\, allowing viewers to experience one artist through the eyes of another and to immerse themselves in the pleasures of close looking.\n                                                                                                                                                                        \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E. Thaw Charitable Trust and The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation. Additional support provided by the JFM Foundation and Mrs. Donald M. Cox.\n\nLead support for the local presentation of this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and the University of Michigan Ross School of Business and the Department of the History of Art.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Paul Rand
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter
DESCRIPTION:Australian artist Patricia Piccinini’s strange\, hyperreal yet sentimental sculptures are often rooted in her speculative visualizations of future species—beings transformed by\, or even created by\, developments in genetic engineering and technology.  On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Window Installation | Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled \"Cosmogonic Tattoos\,\" his project uses adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Aaditya Ramdas\, Department of Statistics and EECS University of California\, Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:Data science is at a crossroads. Each year\, thousands of new data scientists are entering science and technology\, after a broad training in a variety of fields. Modern data science is often exploratory in nature\, with datasets being collected and dissected in an interactive manner. Classical guarantees that accompany many statistical methods are often invalidated by their non-standard interactive use\, resulting in an underestimated risk of falsely discovering correlations or patterns. It is a pressing challenge to upgrade existing tools\, or create new ones\, that are robust to involving a human-in-the-loop.\n\nIn this talk\, I will describe two new advances that enable some amount of interactivity while testing multiple hypotheses\, and control the resulting selection bias. I will first introduce a new framework\, STAR\, that uses partial masking to divide the available information into two parts\, one for selecting a set of potential discoveries\, and the other for inference on the selected set. I will then show that it is possible to flip the traditional roles of the algorithm and the scientist\, allowing the scientist to make post-hoc decisions after seeing the realization of an algorithm on the data. The theoretical basis for both advances is founded in the theory of martingales : in the first\, the user defines the martingale and associated filtration interactively\, and in the second\, we move from optional stopping to optional spotting by proving uniform concentration bounds on relevant martingales.\n\nThis talk will feature joint work with (alphabetically) Rina Barber\, Jianbo Chen\, Will Fithian\, Kevin Jamieson\, Michael Jordan\, Eugene Katsevich\, Lihua Lei\, Max Rabinovich\, Martin Wainwright\, Fanny Yang and Tijana Zrnic.\n\nBio : Aaditya Ramdas is a postdoctoral researcher in Statistics and EECS at UC Berkeley\, advised by Michael Jordan and Martin Wainwright. He finished his PhD in Statistics and Machine Learning at CMU\, advised by Larry Wasserman and Aarti Singh\, winning the Best Thesis Award in Statistics. A lot of his research focuses on modern aspects of reproducibility in science and technology —\ninvolving statistical testing and false discovery rate control in static and dynamic settings.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ink Portraits
DESCRIPTION:Based out of Chelsea\, Michigan\, John Pappas believes that if you can imagine a fun idea making sense\, you should make it. He applies this to both his graphic design and fine art. With so much to see and ruminate on in life\, Pappas keeps his hands busy by putting pen to paper. This body of work consists of portraits drawn with ink on a variety of surfaces including paper\, basswood and aspen panels in an offbeat pen and ink style that leans heavily on pointillism and crosshatching. The subjects range from athletes to musicians to personal friends.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents My Playground: Assemblage Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Starting with watercolor\, Joan Painter-Jones’ work kept building out farther and farther until it became sculpture. Brought up in a household where money was tight\, she doesn’t like to waste anything and is captivated by old scraps of things with peeling paint and rusty metal – especially broken things that have a story to tell. She usually starts out with an interesting piece of wood and builds on it\, often painting on it and adding collage\, all while developing an emotional connection to it. Working in her quiet Milan\, Michigan backyard art loft “playground\,” she has no message to preach with her work\, just her own personal wish for peace and justice.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Desert Southwest: Photography
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Flint\, Michigan\, Daniel Sidoli has always had the creative itch. It led him to the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas and a BA degree in Fine Arts. With this body of work\, his intent is to capture images that illustrate the unique landscape that erosion sculpts over time. His goal with photography is to be artistic yet convey truth. He wants the subject to inspire the audience and leave a lasting impression: to elicit an emotional response. Each image represents moments in time and of journeys traveled\, both figuratively and literally\, since he is involved in every step of the process as he sees each piece to completion.
