Numerous agencies, organizations, and policies support farmer adoption of soil health practices, improved nutrient management, and managed tile drainage. Despite decades of effort, adoption of key practices has lagged what is needed to reach larger conservation goals. National Wildlife Federation has worked with producers and conservation professionals for over a decade to improve outreach and conservation communications to reach new audiences and expand adoption of key practices. NWF programs apply insights from social and behavioral science to increase organizational capacity and identify novel strategies for increasing conservation adoption. This presentation will share key insights from NWF programs and outline research and extension needs to scale up adoption in the Great Lakes region.\r\n\r\nAbout the speaker: Adam Reimer is the outreach and evaluation scientist at the National Wildlife Federation. He has training in interdisciplinary social and agricultural science with a PhD from Purdue University. Adam has an extensive research background exploring farmer and landowner conservation decision making and the role of policy and social networks in conservation outcomes.

These subpopulations may be related in complex ways, and each may exhibit rich internal structure. Scientific analysis often requires not only assigning observations to latent subpopulations, but also characterizing the distributional structure within each subpopulation. Mixture models provide a natural framework for this goal. However, most existing work assumes that component distributions belong to specified parametric families, which are almost always misspecified in practice. Capturing complex subpopulation structures therefore requires extending mixture models to allow nonparametric component distributions. This extension immediately raises fundamental challenges of identifiability and inference: since only the overall population distribution is observed, it is unclear what should count as a distinct subpopulation; when components are highly flexible, it is unclear whether they can be separated, especially in overlapping regions; and even when separation is theoretically possible, reliably estimating latent subpopulations remains a major inferential challenge. In this dissertation, we address these theoretical and methodological challenges within a systematic Bayesian nonparametric framework.\nFirst, we develop a unified framework based on mixtures of Dirichlet process mixtures (MDPMs) for two classes of nonparametric mixture structures: one in which components\u2019 high-density regions are spatially differentiated, and another in which components may fully overlap but are distinguished by contrasting density levels. We develop scalable algorithms and evaluate them through simulations and real-data applications in univariate and multivariate settings, showing that component distributions can be accurately recovered under mild conditions.\nSecond, we extend the approach to multivariate settings where component high-density regions are spatially differentiated but not convexly separable. To handle complex density-contour geometry, we approximate these regions by unions of hypercubes and construct MDPMs over the resulting coverings, allowing the model to learn component distributions with complex latent-support geometries. Simulation studies demonstrate strong performance across diverse settings.\nThird, we provide theoretical support for the framework by establishing identifiability conditions for the first class of mixture structures. We further derive posterior contraction rates under the MDPM framework. These results show that MDPMs preserve the efficiency of learning the overall population density relative to a single Dirichlet process mixture, while enabling latent nonparametric component distributions to be learned at a nearly polynomial rate, substantially faster than the typical rates of nonparametric deconvolution.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"148073-21902919@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148073", "building_id":"1000167", "building_name":"West Hall", "building_official_id":1000167, "campus_maps_id":"163", "campus_maps_link_path":"west-hall", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/west-hall", "room":"438", "location_name":"West Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Dissertation"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Statistics Dissertation Defenses", "group_id":"4045", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "image_description":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148073\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21902919 } , { "id":"145356-21897165", "datetime_modified":"20260211T104938", "datetime_start":"20260506T160000", "datetime_end":"20260506T173000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-05-06", "date_end":"2026-05-06", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"17:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"A Conversation about Maternal Mental Health with Dr. Kara Zivin", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"A Conversation about Maternal Mental Health with Dr. Kara Zivin", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"One in five women will experience a mental health condition during pregnancy or the first year postpartum.

This multi-timescale process encompasses both rapid coseismic rupture, which unfolds over seconds, and prolonged interseismic deformation lasting up to thousands of years. Physics-based numerical models of the seismic cycle aim to capture SEAS within a unified framework and to enhance our understanding of earthquake generation. In this dissertation, I employ fully dynamic seismic cycle models, including dynamic inertial effects, to investigate earthquake nucleation and the coupled evolution of fault slip and inelastic fault zone deformation governed by damage rheology.\n\nChapter 2 focuses on exploring the influence of the characteristic weakening distance (DRS) in rate-and-state friction (RSF) on earthquake nucleation. The findings indicate that a larger value of a\/b (>0.75), rather than the traditionally assumed 0.5, is needed to produce expanding crack nucleation for a relatively small DRS. This suggests that fixed-length nucleation may be more common on both natural and laboratory faults, and therefore earthquake nucleation style is strongly governed by both a\/b and DRS.\n\nChapter 3 aims to develop a novel seismic cycle model integrating RSF and damage rheology to capture the coevolution of fault slip and fault zone deformation. Simulations reveal coseismic velocity drops consistent with seismological observations and a persistent shallow slip deficit (SSD). Off-fault damage is predominantly generated during earthquakes, concentrating at shallow depths in a flower-like structure, characterized by a distributed damage area surrounding a localized, highly damaged inner core. Utilizing an experimentally based logarithmic healing law, the model shows that coseismic reductions in off-fault rigidity only partially heal, leading to a cumulative, permanent rigidity loss over multiple seismic cycles. Consequently, the fault zone width and rigidity eventually stabilize, reaching a mature state with a large cumulative fault slip.\n\nIn Chapter 4, I apply this earthquake coevolution model to examine the role of weak fault zone deformation on the generation of multiscale seismicity. The results demonstrate that relatively weak fault zones (i.e., when surrounding rocks have a low internal friction coefficient) facilitate the production of both large and small earthquakes, reproducing key earthquake scaling relations observed in nature, such as power-law magnitude-frequency distribution, magnitude-invariant static stress drop, and non-linear fracture energy scaling in a unified framework. These findings highlight the fundamental role of the coevolution of earthquakes and fault zone inelastic deformation in controlling earthquake behaviors.\n\nIn conclusion, these findings highlight the significant role that fault friction and fault zone deformation play in governing earthquake nucleation, slip behavior, and earthquake scaling relations. Particularly, by capturing the coevolution of fault slip and fault zone deformation over multiple seismic cycles, Chapters 3 and 4 underscore the fundamental importance of fault zone inelastic deformation in shaping earthquake dynamics beyond fault friction and rock elasticity. The spontaneously generated inelastic deformation dissipates elastic strain energy and acts as natural rupture barriers to modulate earthquake size. The coevolution of fault slip and fault zone inelastic deformation provides an efficient way to generate fault stress heterogeneity and a wide spectrum of earthquake size over multiple seismic cycles. These insights offer new directions for interpreting natural fault systems and assessing seismic hazards.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"148094-21902941@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148094", "building_id":"1000188", "building_name":"1100 North University Building", "building_official_id":1000188, "campus_maps_id":"628", "campus_maps_link_path":"1100-north-university-building", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/1100-north-university-building", "room":"2540", "location_name":"1100 North University Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Dissertation","Earth And Environmental Sciences"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Earth and Environmental Sciences", "group_id":"3170", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/earth" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148094_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"A man in glasses and a navy shirt sits in front of several computer monitors", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148094_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148094_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148094_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148094_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148094_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148094_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148094_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148094_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148094_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148094_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148094_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148094_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148094_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148094_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148094_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148094\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21902941 } , { "id":"148137-21903034", "datetime_modified":"20260506T144019", "datetime_start":"20260507T150000", "datetime_end":"20260507T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-05-07", "date_end":"2026-05-07", "time_start":"15:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Methods for Causal Inference in Settings with Clustered Data Subject to Missingness and Measurement Error", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Methods for Causal Inference in Settings with Clustered Data Subject to Missingness and Measurement Error: Joshua Wasserman", "event_subtitle":"Joshua Wasserman", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"Educational programs, healthcare policies, and economic shocks frequently act upon intact clusters rather than isolated individuals. Evaluations of such interventions can adjust for baseline differences between clusters with matching, then address persisting imbalances through regression adjustment. The Peters-Belson (PB)\/Oaxaca-Blinder (OB) estimator fits a regression to predict outcomes individuals would have had if they were in the control condition, and adjusts for imbalances in predicted outcomes by comparing individuals\u2019 differences between observed and predicted outcomes.\n\nThis dissertation begins by showing that in studies that enroll or match only a small number of clusters, the regression fit contributes non-negligibly to variability of the PB\/OB estimator both across studies and across treatment allocations within studies. It makes two proposals in response: first, incorporating auxiliary clusters\u2014those that are not retained in the initial cluster match\u2014into the regression fit, and second, defining the regression coefficients and the PB\/OB estimator as M-estimators of regression. The first proposal exhibits promising gains in precision in simulations and an empirical application, while the second exhibits improved estimation of sampling variability over variance estimators that ignore variation from the coefficient estimates, particularly when paired with a novel jackknife-type bias correction.\n\nThe CR2 adjustment is a widely used bias correction for cluster-robust variance estimates, but it may be computationally infeasible in studies with large clusters given existing routines\u2019 reliance on obtaining spectral decompositions of estimated cluster-specific covariance matrices. Chapter 4 provides exact representations of CR2 that obviate this step of the computations, reducing walltime of CR2 estimates from over a day to just over a minute in settings previously deemed too computationally burdensome.\n\nThe concluding chapter focuses on the initial cluster-level match, proposing two propensity score (PS) estimators that balance latent confounders when only noisy measurements are available, if they are available at all. These PS estimators improve matching feasibility and reduce the MSE of treatment effect estimators compared to propensity scores generated from a logistic regression fit to the noisy measurements.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"148137-21903034@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148137", "building_id":"1000167", "building_name":"West Hall", "building_official_id":1000167, "campus_maps_id":"163", "campus_maps_link_path":"west-hall", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/west-hall", "room":"438", "location_name":"West Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Dissertation"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Statistics Dissertation Defenses", "group_id":"4045", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "image_description":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148137\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21903034 } , { "id":"147300-21900655", "datetime_modified":"20260427T141648", "datetime_start":"20260507T183000", "datetime_end":"20260507T193000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-05-07", "date_end":"2026-05-07", "time_start":"18:30:00", "time_end":"19:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"America at 250, with Special Emphasis on the Proposition that All Men are Created Equal", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"America at 250, with Special Emphasis on the Proposition that All Men are Created Equal: with Akhil Amar", "event_subtitle":"with Akhil Amar", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"Two-hundred and fifty years ago, America famously proclaimed that \u201call men are created equal.\u201d That same year, Pennsylvanians led by Benjamin Franklin declared that \u201call men are born equally free and independent.\u201d This year, Americans are once again discussing issues of creational equality and birth equality\u2014this time in the context of a great debate over the meaning of birthright citizenship.

Expected shortfall regression is a framework for analyzing the relationship between the ES of a response variable and a set of covariates. As an application example, in health disparity research, it can uncover the relations between the lower\/upper tails of the conditional distribution of a health-related outcome and covariates of the subjects. This thesis is dedicated to three statistical methodologies for expected shortfall regression.\n\nIn the first chapter, we propose the high-dimensional expected shortfall linear regression with the lasso penalty to induce sparse estimators. We propose a debiased estimator and establish the asymptotic normality for conducting valid statistical inferences. We illustrate the finite sample performance of the proposed methods through numerical studies and a data application on health disparity. In the second chapter, we study a novel optimization-based approach for linear expected shortfall regression, which relaxes the assumptions made on the conditional quantile models. While the proposed loss function is implicitly defined, we provide a prototype implementation of the proposed approach with some initial expected shortfall estimators based on binning techniques or machine learning methods. With practically feasible initial estimators, we establish the consistency and the asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator. The proposed approach achieves heterogeneity-adaptive weights and therefore often offers efficiency gains over existing approaches in the literature, as demonstrated through simulation studies. In the last chapter, we further extend the framework to model the nonlinear relationship between covariates and the ES of the response, and introduce a novel expected shortfall random forest (ESRF) framework. The proposed ESRF approach integrates subsampling and data-splitting schemes to construct a nonparametric ensemble that jointly estimates conditional quantiles and expected shortfalls. Building upon this framework, we further develop the expected shortfall causal forest (ESCF) to estimate the conditional ES treatment effect, defined as the difference between the conditional ES of potential outcomes. We establish the pointwise consistency and the asymptotic normality for both the ESRF and the ESCF estimators. We illustrate the finite-sample performance of the proposed methods through simulations and an empirical application examining health disparities among low-birthweight infants.\n\nhttps:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/98910982237", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"148173-21903183@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148173", "building_id":"",

Southeasterly trade winds force upwelling along the equator and the South American coastline, maintaining a regional \u2018cold tongue\u2019 that outgasses large fluxes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Shifts in the intensity of EEP upwelling can moderate the development and decay of the El Ni\u00f1o\u2013Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the largest source of interannual climate variability on Earth. Leading Earth system models predict ENSO impacts to intensify under anthropogenic greenhouse warming, but rely on scarce observations of its historical variability.\n\nIn this dissertation, I leverage oxygen isotopic (\u03b418O) and trace elemental measurements of aragonitic coral skeletons from the Gal\u00e1pagos archipelago to investigate EEP oceanographic conditions in the past and present. Geochemical tracers in scleractinian coral skeletons are powerful archives of past temperature and circulation patterns. At Gal\u00e1pagos, a globally significant biodiversity hotspot in the EEP, these environmental signals are closely linked to ENSO variability.\n\nThe relative abundance of strontium (Sr\/Ca) within Porites lobata corals varies as an inverse function of seawater temperature, as does their \u03b418O composition. In Chapter 2, I generate Sr\/Ca and \u03b418O records from subfossil Gal\u00e1pagos P. lobata to reconstruct ENSO variability at 4000 years before present (BP). Whereas \u03b418O records from the central equatorial Pacific document weakened ENSO between 5000-3000 BP, my results demonstrate robust, negatively skewed ENSO variance, amplified relative to that over the preindustrial last millennium. This contrast illuminates a shift in the spatial profile of ENSO at 4000 BP, with cold La Ni\u00f1a events intensifying and developing farther east in response to orbital forcing.\n\nDramatic shifts in ENSO variability often manifest due to changes in equatorial upwelling patterns. In Chapter 3, I investigate the sensitivity of barium (Ba\/Ca), cadmium (Cd\/Ca), and phosphorus (P\/Ca) concentrations in P. lobata corals to upwelled water supply in the Gal\u00e1pagos archipelago. I statistically decompose vertical velocity data from an ocean physics reanalysis product to reveal two independent modes of regional upwelling associated with the shoaling Equatorial Undercurrent and the southeasterly trade winds, respectively. The coral geochemical tracers document contrasting variance patterns at separate island sites, consistent with distinct regional expressions of these overlapping upwelling patterns. Although coral Ba\/Ca and Cd\/Ca generally covary within a record, implying a shared environmental driver, P\/Ca results are less informative.\n\nPrior analyses have suggested that physiological artefacts can overprint environmental signals in coral Ba\/Ca records, limiting proxy fidelity. In Chapter 4, I evaluate the influence of skeletal density and linear extension rate on Ba\/Ca ratios from a large assemblage of living and subfossil Gal\u00e1pagos corals. 83% of the Ba\/Ca records analyzed demonstrate no annual covariance with these physiological parameters, linked to coral calcification rate. However, mean Ba\/Ca ratios are typically reduced in faster growing records, consistent with the Rayleigh fractionation model of element partitioning. Similarly, annual Ba\/Ca values in one record correlate inversely with extension, driving periodic offsets from an overlapping record. These results indicate that Ba\/Ca records should be screened for physiological artefacts ahead of their application.\n\nAltogether, this dissertation provides a robust assessment of coral geochemical proxies and their utility in reconstructing oceanographic conditions in the EEP. Whereas temperature-sensitive tracers can demonstrably be leveraged to reconstruct the variance and asymmetry of historical ENSO, upwelling proxies are best paired with regional circulation data for faithful interpretation.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"148099-21902946@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148099", "building_id":"1000188", "building_name":"1100 North University Building", "building_official_id":1000188, "campus_maps_id":"628", "campus_maps_link_path":"1100-north-university-building", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/1100-north-university-building", "room":"2540", "location_name":"1100 North University Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Dissertation","Earth And Environmental Sciences"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Earth and Environmental Sciences", "group_id":"3170", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/earth" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148099_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"A diver in a wetsuit holding a red mesh bag is spread eagle underwater", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148099_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148099_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148099_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148099_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148099_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148099_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148099_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148099_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148099_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148099_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148099_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148099_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148099_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148099_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148099_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148099\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21902946 } , { "id":"146584-21899313", "datetime_modified":"20260505T123808", "datetime_start":"20260513T093000", "datetime_end":"20260513T223000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-05-13", "date_end":"2026-05-13", "time_start":"09:30:00", "time_end":"22:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"CDB Seminar Series: Amy Ralston", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"CDB Seminar Series: Amy Ralston: Amy Ralston", "event_subtitle":"Amy Ralston", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"2026 Cell & Developmental Biology Seminar Series\n\nSpeaker: Amy Ralston, Ph.D. Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology.

Along with other layers of gene regulation, chromatin modification plays a key role in this cellular specialization. Our research focuses on histone modifications such as lysine methylation, and the proteins that recognize these modifications, which are often referred to as chromatin \u2018readers\u2019. Chromatin readers can recruit and act as part of diverse chromatin modifying protein complexes to mediate the silencing of many genes with important functions in cell proliferation and differentiation. We will use a combination of genetic, biochemical and genome-wide sequencing approaches to investigate the striking regulatory complexity of chromatin readers. Our research will contribute to a better understanding of how cells acquire and maintain different fates during development, how chromatin readers contribute to epigenetic inheritance, and how aberrant regulation of histone methylation contributes to the pathogenesis of several human diseases, including cancers.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"143394-21893073@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/143394", "building_id":"1005037", "building_name":"Taubman Biomedical Science Research Building", "building_official_id":1005037, "campus_maps_id":"509", "campus_maps_link_path":"alfred-a-taubman-biomedical-science-research-bldg", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/alfred-a-taubman-biomedical-science-research-bldg", "room":"1020 Kahn Auditorium", "location_name":"Taubman Biomedical Science Research Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Basic Science","basic sciences","biolgical chemistry","biological chemistry","biological science","Biology","Biosciences","Bsbsigns","cancer","Chemistry","Discussion","epilepsy","Faculty","Free","genetics","genome","genomics","human genetics","Human Genetics, Genetics, Neurogenetic Diseases","Information and Technology","lecture","Life Science","lifton","Medicine","Natural Sciences","neel","neurological disease","Postdoctoral Research Fellows","Public Health","Public Policy","Reception","research","Science","seminar","sodium channel","symposium"], "website":"https:\/\/medschool.umich.edu\/events?f%5B0%5D=series%3A13266", "links":[ { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/medschool.umich.edu\/events?f%5B0%5D=series%3A13266", "title":"Human Genetics Research Seminar Series" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Human Genetics", "group_id":"1137", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "image_description":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/143394\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21893073 } , { "id":"147666-21901542", "datetime_modified":"20260413T111156", "datetime_start":"20260518T180000", "datetime_end":"20260518T193000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-05-18", "date_end":"2026-05-18", "time_start":"18:00:00", "time_end":"19:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Inside the Study", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Inside the Study", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"Go behind the scenes with the Heinz C.

Prechter Bipolar Research Program was named as one of the six inaugural institutions in the BD\u00b2 Integrated Network to engage people living with bipolar disorder in a long-term research study and build a rich database to better understand the condition, its treatment, and to support improvements in care. The BD\u00b2 Integrated Network has since expanded its clinical sites to 11 institutions across the United States and Canada. Along with the long-term studies and databases, the BD\u00b2 Integrated Network sites are working together to design and implement a Learning Health Network (LHN) for bipolar disorder.\n\nWebinar attendees will learn more about the Prechter Program's role in the BD\u00b2: Integrated Network, including team member's contributions to building the Learning Health Network and will hear from a BD\u00b2 study participant.\n\nThis webinar is open to everyone interested in learning more about the BD\u00b2: Breakthrough Discoveries for Thriving with Bipolar Disorder study. Register here.\n\nA recording of this webinar will be posted to the Prechter Program YouTube playlist for later viewing. Individuals registered for the webinar will be emailed a link to the recording once it becomes available. \n\nOpen About This Event configuration options", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"147666-21901542@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/147666", "building_id":"", "building_name":"Off Campus Location", "building_official_id":null, "campus_maps_id":"1", "campus_maps_link_path":"", "campus_maps_link":"", "room":"", "location_name":"Virtual", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Bipolar","Depression","Discussion","Free","Health & Wellness","Mental Health","Psychiatry","Psychology","Public Health","Well-being","Wellness"], "website":"https:\/\/michmed.org\/eQ4jr", "links":[ { "type":"registration", "url":"https:\/\/michmed.org\/eQ4jr", "title":"Webinar Registration" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/michmed.org\/92g5j", "title":"Prechter Program website" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Heinz C.

\n\nUsing data across six continents, he challenges the idea of fragmentation in his talk titled, \u201cNature in Pieces: Why Large, Continuous, Connected Forests Hold More Life.\u201d\n\nThe postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan will explore why protecting large, continuous, and connected forests remains essential for conserving biodiversity. \n\nGon\u00e7alves-Souza, a quantitative community ecologist, teaches a General Ecology Lecture course at UMBS.\n\nHis current research centers around synthesizing the effects of human-mediated habitat loss and climate change on animals and plants. With a broad taxonomic scope ranging from arthropods to mammals, Gon\u00e7alves-Souza uses quantitative tools to unravel the intricate dynamics of biodiversity change. He also investigates the utility of traits in predicting species redistributions across local and global scales.\n\nThe University of Michigan Biological Station serves as a gathering place to learn from the natural world, advance research and education, and inspire action. We leverage over a century of research and transformative experiences to drive discoveries and solutions to benefit Michigan and beyond.\n\nFounded in 1909, UMBS supports long-term research and education through immersive, field-based courses and features state-of-the-art equipment and facilities for data collection and analysis to help any field researcher be productive. It is where students and scientists from across the globe live and work as a community to learn from the place.\n\nThe Summer Lecture Series is a tradition at UMBS, where we explore scientific topics with distinguished guest speakers from across the country so the community can learn about our natural world.\n\nThe free, public talks are on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. in the spring and summer in Gates Lecture Hall at the University of Michigan Biological Station, located at 9133 Biological Rd. in Pellston, Michigan \u2014 about 20 miles south of the Mackinac Bridge.", "occurrence_notes":null,

"event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"We develop a unified framework for flexible distributional learning based on expectile regression with adaptive basis functions, allowing one to capture heterogeneous covariate effects across different regions of the outcome distribution. Building on this foundation, we introduce a series of methodological contributions that extend expectile regression to increasingly complex data settings.\n\nFirst, we propose a flexible nonparametric framework for expectile regression using reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHS), motivated by longitudinal studies in human biology in which aspects of the distribution of offspring anthropometry covary with parental characteristics. We develop a computationally efficient algorithm based on over-relaxed alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) to estimate expectiles across multiple distributional levels, and establish valid joint inference procedures for a collection of expectiles using both cross-fitting and robust analytic approaches.\n\nSecond, we extend expectile regression to event time data subject to right censoring and left truncation, motivated by biomedical and public health studies where outcomes are incompletely observed and covariate effects may vary across the lifespan. Our motivating application is to understand how lifespans in different demographic groups correspond to neighborhood deprivation, allowing for different effects on early and late mortality. To capture such patterns, we estimate conditional expectiles of patient lifespans using weighting to account for censoring and truncation. We then derive asymptotic linear expansions of the estimators and construct robust sandwich variance estimators, enabling valid inference for distributional contrasts, including comparisons across demographic groups and difference-in-difference analyses across expectile levels.\n\nThird, we develop a unified framework for multivariate generalized expectile regression to analyze multi-output longitudinal data, motivated by applications in which multiple related outcomes are measured repeatedly over time and exhibit complex dependence. Examples include biomedical studies where multiple health indicators are tracked for each patient, or demographic data where event counts in geographic strata evolve jointly over time. Such data may exhibit heterogeneous covariate effects that predict different features of the response distribution. We begin by extending expectile regression to have a link function for each response, enabling the specification of models with additive and multiplicative structures. We formulate the problem as a stacked estimating equation system capturing dependence across outcomes, across time, and across distributional levels without requiring specification of a working correlation structure. We develop cluster-robust sandwich covariance estimators that support valid inference for joint hypotheses, enabling simultaneous assessment of distributional effects across outcomes and expectile levels.\n\nFinally, we introduce a new class of interpretable distributional summaries based on expectile L-moments (EL-moments), motivated by the need for robust and informative measures of distributional shape that can be modeled in relation to covariates. Classical measures such as skewness and kurtosis are often sensitive to extreme observations and are not readily adapted to regression settings, while quantile-based summaries lack smoothness and can be difficult to integrate into unified modeling frameworks. By projecting the expectile function onto a shifted Legendre polynomial basis, we obtain EL-moments that provide interpretable summaries of location, scale, asymmetry, and tail behavior. We further extend these summaries to conditional settings via expectile regression, enabling covariate-dependent characterization of distributional features. We develop an influence-function-based framework for inference, yielding consistent covariance estimators for both the EL-moment coefficients and their derived ratios.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"148074-21902920@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148074", "building_id":"1000167", "building_name":"West Hall", "building_official_id":1000167, "campus_maps_id":"163", "campus_maps_link_path":"west-hall", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/west-hall", "room":"438", "location_name":"West Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Dissertation"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Statistics Dissertation Defenses", "group_id":"4045", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "image_description":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148074\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21902920 } , { "id":"142453-21890971", "datetime_modified":"20260303T122837", "datetime_start":"20260521T180000", "datetime_end":"20260521T193000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-05-21", "date_end":"2026-05-21", "time_start":"18:00:00", "time_end":"19:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"The Lost Campus: The University of Michigan\u2019s Vanished but not Forgotten Spaces", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"The Lost Campus: The University of Michigan\u2019s Vanished but not Forgotten Spaces", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"The University of Michigan\u2019s campus has a long and deep history and every generation has cherished particular places, such as the campus zoo or the famous \u201cSleepy Hollow.\u201d Many of these locations are now gone, but not forgotten.

will give a free, public talk titled, \u201cUsing Science to Make a Difference: The Work to Reduce Global Mercury Pollution.\u201d\n\nAlthough many study environmental science because they are concerned about the health of the planet, most apply their training to research or teaching following their education. \n\nA UMBS alumna, Greer earned a Ph.D. in environmental toxicology with a \u201chard science\u201d dissertation but spent her career at the Natural Resources Defense Council working with lawyers and policy experts to promote improvements in environmental laws and regulations and to pressure corporations to reduce their pollution abroad.\n\nIn this talk, Greer will describe the use of science in her advocacy, illustrating this line of work with the story of reducing global mercury pollution.\n\nLinda Greer is an environmental toxicologist who worked on toxic chemical and industrial pollution with the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) for nearly 30 years. She capped her career overseeing green supply chain initiatives for four years with the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs, the leading environmental NGO in China and now works as an independent consultant.\n\nLinda spent most of her career on domestic environmental law and policy. As manufacturing moved abroad, however, she turned her attention to global pollution matters, concentrating her work internationally.\n\nFocusing first on mercury pollution, Linda was a founder and leader of the NGO\u2019s community\u2019s successful effort to pass the Minamata Convention in the United Nations, a binding international treaty to reduce the use and release of this toxic metal around the globe.\n\nSubsequently, Linda turned to China, creating NRDC\u2019s Clean by Design Program, a highly successful green supply chain initiative that promotes improvements in apparel manufacturing.\n\nFor more than a decade, Linda taught a popular summer intensive course, \u201cScientific Fundamentals of Risk Assessment\u201d at Vermont Law School, and she has also taught short courses for the National Association of State Attorney Generals and the U.S. Department of Justice Department of Environmental Crimes.\n\nGreer served as the interim director of the University of Michigan Biological Station in 2016-2017 during a sabbatical break from advocacy.\n\nLinda has served on many expert panels and commissions, including the National Academy of Sciences and the U.S. EPA Science Advisory Board. She currently serves on the board of the Cary Institute.\n\nLinda is the author of over a dozen technical and policy articles on environmental matters and has frequently testified before Congress. She has a Ph.D. in environmental toxicology (U of Maryland), a M.S.P.H. in environmental sciences and engineering (UNC School of Public Health, Chapel Hill), and a B.S. in biology (Tufts University).\n\nThe University of Michigan Biological Station serves as a gathering place to learn from the natural world, advance research and education, and inspire action. We leverage over a century of research and transformative experiences to drive discoveries and solutions to benefit Michigan and beyond.\n\nFounded in 1909, UMBS supports long-term research and education through immersive, field-based courses and features state-of-the-art equipment and facilities for data collection and analysis to help any field researcher be productive. It is where students and scientists from across the globe live and work as a community to learn from the place.\n\nThe Summer Lecture Series is a tradition at UMBS, where we explore scientific topics with distinguished guest speakers from across the country so the community can learn about our natural world.\n\nThe free, public talks are on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. in the spring and summer in Gates Lecture Hall at the University of Michigan Biological Station, located at 9133 Biological Rd. in Pellston, Michigan \u2014 about 20 miles south of the Mackinac Bridge.", "occurrence_notes":null,

professor and chair of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies at the University of Michigan and an affiliate faculty in Romances Languages and Literature, and Comparative Literature.\n\nHer interdisciplinary scholarship bridges Global Black Studies and the Environmental Humanities through literary, historical, and artistic perspectives.\n\nThis talk will use a magnifying glass to examine an environmental crisis of epic proportions in the French Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique.\n\nFrom 1972 to 1993, a highly toxic pesticide was sprayed on weevil-infested banana plantations in the islands, despite known health risks, largely due to pressure from powerful white planter elites and the economic importance of the banana industry.\n\nThe resulting health impact on the population has come to symbolize how the colonial is often inextricable from the ecological. But what about the weevil?\n\nThis talk responds to environmental scholar Malcolm Ferdinand\u2019s call to also look at the weevil in this dramatic story.\n\nBoisseron is the author of \u201cCreole Renegades: Rhetoric of Betrayal and Guilt in the Caribbean Diaspora\u201d (2014) and \u201cAfro-Dog: Blackness and the Animal Question\u201d (2018).\n\nHer current book project focuses on food repurposing and was supported by a Guggenheim Fellowship, alongside additional funding for her broader work on repurposing practices.\n\nHer recent publications examine pesticide contamination on banana plantations in the French Antilles.\n\nIn Winter 2024, Boisseron taught Food Literacy for All as a faculty instructor and is a Sustainable Food Systems Initiative Affiliate.\n\nThe University of Michigan Biological Station serves as a gathering place to learn from the natural world, advance research and education, and inspire action.

McGehee", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"This lecture explores the \u201cvaccine paradox\u201d of automated driving: why rare, highly publicized failures of self-driving vehicles provoke intense emotional and political reactions while the far more common harms of human driving remain normalized. Drawing on risk psychology, public-health history, and human-factors research, Prof. McGehee examines how visibility imbalance, trust, and perceptions of control shape public acceptance of emerging vehicle automation. Using real-world examples from automated-vehicle deployments alongside lessons from vaccine adoption and safety communication, the talk argues that societal expectations for perfection in automation may obscure meaningful population-level safety gains. The presentation concludes by discussing how transparency, responsible system design, and careful language around driver-assistance technologies can help align public perception with evidence as automated driving evolves toward broader deployment.\n---\nAbout the speaker: Daniel V. McGehee, is Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Iowa and Director of the Driving Safety Research Institute (DSRI) and the National Advanced Driving Simulator (NADS), one of the world\u2019s largest and most advanced ground-vehicle simulation facilities. For more than three decades, his work has focused on human factors, driver behavior, and the safe integration of advanced vehicle technologies, including automated driving and driver-assistance systems. Dr. McGehee\u2019s research spans engineering, medicine, public health, and transportation policy, with projects funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation, National Institutes of Health, and the automotive industry. He has led over $40 million in sponsored research and authored more than 160 scientific publications addressing driver attention, crash avoidance, vulnerable road users, and the design of vehicle interfaces. His work combines naturalistic driving studies, simulation, and field research to better understand how humans interact with emerging mobility systems. At the University of Iowa, he holds joint appointments in emergency medicine and public health, reflecting his longstanding interest in traffic safety as a population-level health issue.",

The free, public talk is titled, \u201cTrait-based Insights into the Dynamics of Biodiversity.\u201d\n\nJarzyna is an associate professor in the Department of Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology at Ohio State University.\n\nTrait-based ecology has long been heralded as a framework capable of providing mechanistic insight into biodiversity dynamics and thereby enabling predictions of future biodiversity states.\n\nYet despite decades of development, the promise of trait-based ecology remains largely unrealized.\n\nIn this talk, the macroecologist and biodiversity scientist will draw on examples from her own research to critically examine where this promise has and has not been fulfilled.\n\nUsing avian systems as a case study, Jarzyna demonstrates how incorporating functional traits into biodiversity metrics can reveal patterns that traditional species richness measures obscure.\n\nIn particular, she shows that trait-based approaches uncover seasonal dynamics in bird communities \u2014 shifts in functional composition across the year that species counts alone would miss entirely.\n\nThese findings illustrate both the potential of trait-based ecology and the persistent gap between its theoretical ambitions and empirical application.\nJarzyna\u2019s research focuses on understanding the processes that drive biodiversity dynamics across spatial, temporal, and taxonomic scales.\n\nShe holds an M.S. in environmental science from Warsaw University of Life Sciences and a dual Ph.D. in fisheries and wildlife and ecology, evolutionary biology, and behavior from Michigan State University, and completed her postdoctoral fellowship at Yale University.\n\nThe University of Michigan Biological Station serves as a gathering place to learn from the natural world, advance research and education, and inspire action.

"description":"Dr. John Verhoeven is a metallurgical engineer, U-M alumnus and Distinguished Emeritus Professor at Iowa State University who lives along Douglas Lake, near the University of Michigan Biological Station.\n\nAs part of the 2026 Summer Lecture Series at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS), Verhoeven will give a free, public talk titled, \u201cMaking Steel Knives from Sands Found on Douglas Lake.\u201d\n\nSince retiring, he has continued to do research with colleagues in northern Michigan. They recently found magnetic black sand on Douglas Lake, reduced it to iron and made kitchen knives.\n\nTheir experiments measuring the composition of the sand in an electron microscope show that it comes from what geologists call OUI deposits of the Mid-Continental Rift. Verhoeven said the source rock from which the sand eroded \u2014 Fe-Ti oxide ultramafic intrusions (OUI) \u2014 was brought to the surface from magma in Earth\u2019s core 1.1 billion years ago when tectonic plates separated. \n\nHere is a more detailed description of the lecture from Verhoeven: \u201cBladesmith Tim Zowada, who lives near Petoskey, smelts the magnetic black sand he collects on Lake Superior near White Fish Point into iron and makes knives. Working with Tim, we discovered that the source rock from which the sand eroded contains Ti. This was a new discovery because geologists had assumed the source rock was the same as the iron ore used to make the Taconite which is shipped through the Soo Locks to supply US steel mills. It does not contain Ti. With the help of geologist Marcia Bjornerud, we have shown that the source rock is what geologists call: Fe-Ti oxide ultramafic intrusions (OUIs). These rocks where brought to the surface from the magma in Earth\u2019s core 1.1 billion years ago when tectonic plates separated and the mid-continental rift (MCR) formed. The rift runs through the Lake Superior region, and our experiments show the Ti minerals of Tim\u2019s sand matches the composition from OUI drillings collected near Lake Superior. With the help of my neighbor, Mike Johnson, we have recently found magnetic black sand on Douglas Lake and Tim has reduced it to iron and made a few small kitchen knives which will be passed around. Our experiments measuring the composition of the sand in an electron microscope in my shop show that it also comes from OUI deposits of the MCR. Douglas Lake also lies on the MCR. The implications of these results will be discussed.\u201d\n\nVerhoeven grew up in Monroe, Michigan, and attended the University of Michigan, where he earned a bachelor of science degree in chemical engineering as well as his master\u2019s and Ph.D. in metallurgical engineering.\n\nHe spent his professional career at Iowa State University, doing research in the DOE lab and teaching in the Materials Science Department. \n\nVerhoeven has published two books on metallurgy, 220 peer-reviewed journal papers and obtained 18 patents.\n\nHe built home and shop on Douglas Lake in 1991 and has continued doing research there since retirement in 2000.\n\nThe University of Michigan Biological Station serves as a gathering place to learn from the natural world, advance research and education, and inspire action.

Inactivation and Byproduct Formation: Nucleic Acid Fate During Drinking Water Disinfection.\u201d\n\nSzczuka is an assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Michigan whose research is motivated by broad access to affordable water.\n\nDrinking water treatment plants \u2014 originally designed to treat relatively clean surface waters \u2014 are now faced with increasing levels of biological and chemical contaminants. \n\nChlorination is a key process for controlling acute health risks. However, disinfection byproducts (DBPs), which pose chronic health risks such as bladder cancer, form as an unintended consequence of chlorination.\n\nSzczuka will examine nucleic acids as a missing link between pathogen control and byproduct formation. She also will discuss the roles of previously overlooked chlorine species in nucleic acid reactivity and viral inactivation, and the potential for nucleic acid chlorination to form an emerging class of DBPs.\n\nCollaborating with practitioners, Szczuka will talk about how utilities in Michigan are working to meet both biological and chemical contaminant treatment objectives in a changing climate.\n\nHer research uses fundamental chemistry and microbiology to inform treatment of non-traditional water sources to safeguard public health. Szczuka is especially interested in understanding the drivers of acute and chronic health risks in water and in advancing emerging treatment technologies.\n\nShe collaborates with researchers, engineers, and utility practitioners.\n\nSzczuka received her Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in civil and environmental engineering from Stanford University, and a B.S.E. degree in chemical and biological engineering from Princeton University.\n\nPrior to starting her lab, Alex was a Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Michigan. \n\nThe University of Michigan Biological Station serves as a gathering place to learn from the natural world, advance research and education, and inspire action.

H. Waddington Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School. I received my PhD from New York University and postdoctoral training at Princeton University. I joined Harvard Medical School as an Assistant Professor in 1991 and was appointed a Professor of Pathology in 2004. In 2009 I joined the Newborn Medicine Division of Boston Children\u2019s Hospital.\r\n\r\nI am interested in identifying key epigenetic regulators in cancer, elucidating their mechanism of action and providing the conceptual basis for translating our basic findings to the clinic via the development of new therapeutic strategies. With the discovery of the first histone methyl eraser, LSD1, in 2004, our group demonstrated that histone methylation is dynamically regulated, which overturned the long-held dogma that such modifications were static and irreversible. We have also discovered many additional histone demethylases with different specificities, and novel readers, including those that specifically recognize unmodified lysine and arginine and suggest that the unmodified states are not simply a ground neutral state of epigenetic information but rather likely code for epigenetic information as modified states. Importantly, many of these chromatin enzymes and readers have since been implicated in various types of human cancers, indicating an important role of chromatin regulation in tumorigenesis.\r\n\r\nMore recently, we have also been studying RNA modifications and how they impact gene expression regulation. In many ways this exciting field parallels the early days of chromatin biochemistry and biology, i.e., the nature and the biological and pathological functions of RNA modifications, as well as the enzymes responsible for writing, erasing and reading them, are just beginning to be understood.\r\n\r\nAt Ludwig Oxford, my lab is focusing on two questions. First, how to convert \u201ccold tumors to \u201chot\u201d and how to sustain durable responses to cancer immune checkpoint blockade therapy. Second, how to induce therapeutic differentiation of cancers, using acute myeloid leukemia and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma as models where chromatin\/epigenetics have been shown to play a crucial role in the maintenance of a poorly differentiated state.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"143395-21893072@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/143395", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "building_official_id":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "campus_maps_link_path":"", "campus_maps_link":"", "room":"", "location_name":null, "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Basic Science","basic sciences","biolgical chemistry","biological chemistry","biological science","Biology","Biosciences","Bsbsigns","cancer","Chemistry","Discussion","epilepsy","Faculty","Free","genetics","genome","genomics","human genetics","Human Genetics, Genetics, Epidemiology","Human Genetics, Genetics, Neurogenetic Diseases","Information and Technology","lecture","Life Science","lifton","Medicine","Natural Sciences","neel","neurological disease","Postdoctoral Research Fellows","Public Health","Public Policy","Reception","research","Science","seminar","sodium channel","symposium"], "website":"https:\/\/medschool.umich.edu\/events?f%5B0%5D=series%3A13266", "links":[ { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/medschool.umich.edu\/events?f%5B0%5D=series%3A13266", "title":"Human Genetics Research Seminar Series" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Human Genetics", "group_id":"1137", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "image_description":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/143395\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21893072 } , { "id":"148155-21903163", "datetime_modified":"20260507T144558", "datetime_start":"20260916T170000", "datetime_end":"20260916T190000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-09-16", "date_end":"2026-09-16", "time_start":"17:00:00", "time_end":"19:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Shakespearean Studies Biannual Lecture in Honor of Barbara Hodgdon", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Shakespearean Studies Biannual Lecture in Honor of Barbara Hodgdon: Guest Speaker Andrew Hartley aka AJ Hartley", "event_subtitle":"Guest Speaker Andrew Hartley aka AJ Hartley", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"Details forthcoming\n\nAbout the speaker:\nAndrew James Hartley is Emeritus professor in UNC Charlotte\u2019s Department of Theatre in which he served as the Russell Robinson Distinguished Professor of Shakespeare studies for 18 years, specializing in performance theory and practice.

He received a B.A. in Integrative Biology from the University of California at Berkeley (1998), and worked as a technician for 2 years in Sarah Hake's plant genetics group at the USDA\/ARS Plant Gene Expression Center. He received his Ph.D. in genetics from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (2003), where his work in Shiv Grewal's laboratory established the first direct link between RNA interference and chromatin-based epigenetic inheritance. As a postdoc with Michael Wigler (2004) and independent Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Fellow (2004-2007), Dr. Hall used microarray technologies and mouse strain genealogies to conduct the first systematic study of DNA copy number variation hotspots. As a faculty member at the University of Virginia (2007-2014), Washington University (2014-2020) and Yale (2020-present), his work has sought to understand the causes and consequences of genome variation in mammals, with an increasing focus on computational methods development and human genetics. His group has developed bioinformatics tools for variant detection, variant interpretation, sequence alignment, data processing, and data integration. He has led genome-wide studies of human genome variation, heritable gene expression variation, human genetic disorders, tumor evolution, mouse strain variation, genome stability in reprogrammed stem cells, and single-neuron somatic mosaicism in the human brain. Dr. Hall's work has been featured in Science Magazine's Breakthrough of the Year (2003 & 2007), the NIMH Director's \"Ten Best of 2013\" and The Scientist (2013), and he has received several prestigious awards including the AAAS Newcomb Cleveland Prize (2003), the Burroughs Wellcome Fund Career Award (2006), the NIH Director's New Innovator Award (2009), and the March of Dimes Basil O'Connor Research Award (2010).
