At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\r\n\r\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives, including cultural, social, and scientific viewpoints. \r\nFurthermore, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.", "occurrence_notes":"for further information contact: serrag@med.umich.edu", "guid":"138082-21881842@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082", "building_id":"", "building_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "building_official_id":0, "campus_maps_id":"595", "campus_maps_link_path":"north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "room":"Rotunda Gallery", "location_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program", "group_id":"5062", "website":"https:\/\/ncrc.umich.edu\/life-ncrc\/occupant-amenities\/art-program" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Consequence Exhibition", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":58, "first_occurrence":21881825 } , { "id":"138950-21884284", "datetime_modified":"20260427T090939", "datetime_start":"20251009T120000", "datetime_end":"20251009T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-10-09", "date_end":"2025-10-09", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Watcher of the Sky: Making and Remaking the Detroit Observatory", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Watcher of the Sky: Making and Remaking the Detroit Observatory", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"The Detroit Observatory was once a hub of astronomical discovery that put the University of Michigan on the map as a world-class research institution.

Repurposing these batteries offers a promising solution to address challenges in the battery industry, including raw material scarcity, supply chain constraints, and the need for a circular economy. However, current EV batteries mainly retire after their performance becomes unsatisfactory, leading to heterogeneous health conditions that diversify lifetime during second use. There is a clear need for guidance on reuse strategies to maximize their whole-lifecycle value, including reuse in lower-demand applications. Here, we assess over 101,000 active retirement-reuse-retirement scenarios for EV batteries across popular stationary energy storage applications. The whole-lifecycle value of EV batteries is quantified using real-world data from EV batteries and their digital twins. For EV batteries retired at different mileages, we simulated their remaining useful life under realistic second-use applications. The tradeoff between first-life benefits and second-lifetime benefits is analyzed, and recommendations for selecting second-use applications based on first-life usage conditions are investigated. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of repurposing retired EV batteries and underscore the importance of whole-lifecycle management to enhance circular economy.\r\n\r\nBiography:\r\nZiyou Song is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\r\n\r\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives, including cultural, social, and scientific viewpoints. \r\nFurthermore, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.", "occurrence_notes":"for further information contact: serrag@med.umich.edu", "guid":"138082-21881843@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082", "building_id":"", "building_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "building_official_id":0, "campus_maps_id":"595", "campus_maps_link_path":"north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "room":"Rotunda Gallery", "location_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program", "group_id":"5062", "website":"https:\/\/ncrc.umich.edu\/life-ncrc\/occupant-amenities\/art-program" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Consequence Exhibition", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":58, "first_occurrence":21881825 } , { "id":"140289-21886884", "datetime_modified":"20251003T143554", "datetime_start":"20251010T103000", "datetime_end":"20251010T113000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-10-10", "date_end":"2025-10-10", "time_start":"10:30:00", "time_end":"11:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Design Science Seminar Series", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Design Science Seminar Series: Dr. Grace Burleson: Leveraging Design Science to Advance the Social Impact of Engineering", "event_subtitle":"Dr. Grace Burleson: Leveraging Design Science to Advance the Social Impact of Engineering", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"This talk presents design science as a discipline dedicated to improving engineering practice through systematic, evidence-based approaches to design.

At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas.

Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas.

At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\r\n\r\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives, including cultural, social, and scientific viewpoints. \r\nFurthermore, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire.

PV is on track to be the largest renewable energy source by 2029. Today, silicon PV accounts for roughly 97% of the market share while thin-film PV (mainly CdTe) accounts for the remaining 3%. Silicon PV module prices recently reached a global average low price of <$0.15 per Watt (mainly driven by module production in China), making PV a competitive energy source compared to fossil fuels.\r\n\r\nResearch and development advances in thin-film PV (with focus on perovskite-based thin-film PV) suggest that novel thin-film PV technologies can not only offer even cheaper PV deployment but also at a lower carbon footprint compared to silicon PV. Perovskite-based thin- film PV has reached record efficiencies of 26.95%, approaching the silicon single-junction record of 27.81%.\r\n\r\nThe prospect of even more affordable PV technology will create new possibilities in emerging green and low-carbon markets.\r\n\r\nBiography:\r\nVera Steinmann is a trained physicist with a Ph.D. in organic photovoltaics from Cologne University in Germany. She developed emerging inorganic thin-film absorbers during her postdoctoral research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Combining scanning probe microscopy and nanolithography, microfluidic delivery, this presentation introduces a new chemistry means, known as \u201ccontrolled assembly of molecules\u201d, which enables 3D nanoprinting. While self-assembly of molecules is relatively well-known and frequently utilized in chemical synthesis and material science, controlled assembly of molecules represents a new concept and approach. The key to controlled assembly is the fact that ultra-small solution droplets exhibit different dynamics from those of larger ones. This new approach enables delivery of sub-femtoliter aqueous droplets containing designed molecules, which lead to well-defined features with dimensions as small as tens of nanometers, as illustrated in the Figure. The initial shape of the droplet and the concentration of solutes within the droplet dictate the final assembly of molecules due to the ultrafast evaporation rate and dynamic spatial confinement of the droplets. Applications of this technology in 3D nanoprinting are demonstrated. The level of control demonstrated in this work brings us closer to programmable synthesis for chemistry, as such benefit applications in materials science, additive manufacturing, and nanobiotechnology.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"138401-21882905@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138401", "building_id":"1000158", "building_name":"Chemistry Dow Lab", "building_official_id":1000158, "campus_maps_id":"34", "campus_maps_link_path":"willard-h-dow-chemistry-laboratory", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/willard-h-dow-chemistry-laboratory", "room":"1640", "location_name":"Chemistry Dow Lab", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"https:\/\/chemistry.ucdavis.edu\/people\/gang-yu-liu", "links":[ { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/chemistry.ucdavis.edu\/people\/gang-yu-liu", "title":"Gang-yu Liu Website" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Chemistry", "group_id":"3761", "website":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/chem" }, { "group_name":"Physical Chemistry", "group_id":"4390", "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\/138401\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21882905 } , { "id":"138082-21881850", "datetime_modified":"20250904T104107", "datetime_start":"20251017T080000", "datetime_end":"20251017T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-10-17", "date_end":"2025-10-17", "time_start":"08:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism: Susan Goethel Campbell, Halima Afi Cassells and Shanna Merola Collaboration, Sandra Osip, Clinton Snider and Leslie Sobel", "event_subtitle":"Susan Goethel Campbell, Halima Afi Cassells and Shanna Merola Collaboration, Sandra Osip, Clinton Snider and Leslie Sobel", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"This group exhibition is an in-depth exploration of the role of art as a powerful catalyst for environmental activism. At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\r\n\r\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives, including cultural, social, and scientific viewpoints. \r\nFurthermore, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.", "occurrence_notes":"for further information contact:

At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces.

In experiments with ensembles of spin qubits, the standard quantum limit on sensitivity scales with the inverse square root of the number of spins. Platforms such as cold atoms, atomic vapor cells, and color centers in solids can operate in the regime where this spin projection noise dominates detection of ensemble dynamics. Increasing ensemble size is a promising way to enhance sensitivity. The challenge is that this requires a corresponding reduction in other noise sources. I will present precision nuclear magnetic resonance measurements on macroscopic ensembles of 10^{21} nuclear spins, with sensitivity limited by the quantum spin projection noise.

At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces.

Resolving their roles in each of these areas is challenging. For instance, the surface composition of aerosol droplets is key to predicting cloud droplet number concentrations, understanding atmospheric pollutant transformation, and interpreting observations of accelerated droplet chemistry. However, direct measurement of the surface properties of aerosol droplets is challenging, even though such measurements are necessary, as surface-bulk partitioning is strongly affected by the droplet\u2019s surface area-to-volume ratio. In this presentation, we will discuss new advances to characterise the equilibrium and dynamic surface properties of picolitre volume droplets, gaining important insights that bear directly on our understanding of how cloud droplets form in the atmosphere and how chemical reactions may proceed in finite-volume systems. We will also describe a new mass spectrometry approach enabling sensitive, high throughput chemical analysis of picolitre droplets, facilitating more robust studies of the factors governing chemical reactivity in microcompartments.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"138407-21882912@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138407", "building_id":"1000158", "building_name":"Chemistry Dow Lab", "building_official_id":1000158, "campus_maps_id":"34", "campus_maps_link_path":"willard-h-dow-chemistry-laboratory", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/willard-h-dow-chemistry-laboratory", "room":"1640", "location_name":"Chemistry Dow Lab", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"https:\/\/www.bristol.ac.uk\/people\/person\/Bryan-Bzdek-2cd39dd8-0e33-47cf-a3d9-51478c0c1baa\/", "links":[ { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/www.bristol.ac.uk\/people\/person\/Bryan-Bzdek-2cd39dd8-0e33-47cf-a3d9-51478c0c1baa\/", "title":"Bryan Bzdek Website" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Chemistry", "group_id":"3761", "website":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/chem" }, { "group_name":"Analytical Chemistry", "group_id":"4384", "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\/138407\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21882912 } , { "id":"132770-21885996", "datetime_modified":"20260120T100755", "datetime_start":"20251021T173000", "datetime_end":"20251021T183000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-10-21", "date_end":"2025-10-21", "time_start":"17:30:00", "time_end":"18:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Biology & Neuroscience Major Information Sessions", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Biology & Neuroscience Major Information Sessions: Peer Advisors", "event_subtitle":"Peer Advisors", "event_type":"Livestream \/ Virtual", "event_type_id":"24", "description":"Prospective students interested in learning more about our majors, honors, and independent research in the Program in Biology and Undergraduate Program in Neuroscience are invited to attend our information sessions.

At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole.

At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities.

Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas.

This perspective is particularly relevant to decarbonization strategies, where we have great urgency to change the technologies and operations of our energy and transport systems to meet climate targets, but which require a life cycle perspective to understand their true capacity to reduce emissions and to understand their other environmental, social or governance issues. In this talk I will discuss the use of life cycle assessment and material flow analysis for improving the transition to a decarbonized future with particular focus on electric vehicles and their batteries as a key, but not complete, solution for decarbonization of the transport sector.\r\n\r\nBiography:\r\nProf. Alissa Kendall holds a degree in Environmental Engineering from Duke University (B.S.E. 2000), and a PhD jointly conferred in Environmental Engineering and Natural Resource Policy from University of Michigan Ann Arbor (2007) for work conducted at the Center for Sustainable Systems. Prior to pursuing her graduate education, she worked as an automotive product development engineer focusing on hybrid and electric vehicles. She joined UC Davis as an assistant professor in 2007 and is now the Ray B. Krone Endowed Professor of Environmental Engineering in the UC Davis Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and is the Director of the UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies. During her time at UC Davis, she co-founded and chaired the Energy Graduate Group, an interdisciplinary Energy Systems degree program, and created the graduate certificate in Industrial Ecology.\r\nAs an industrial ecology scholar, her research focuses on understanding and reducing the environmental effects of many the key systems our modern world relies on including transport, civil infrastructure, and agriculture. She has authored and co-authored nearly 100 peer-reviewed journal articles, and her research has been honored with several awards including the Laudis Medal from the International Society of Industrial Ecology, UC Davis Chancellor\u2019s Fellow award, and the UC Davis College of Engineering\u2019s Mid-Career Research Award (2023).", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"138903-21884219@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138903", "building_id":"1000189", "building_name":"Dana Natural Resources Building", "building_official_id":1000189, "campus_maps_id":"45", "campus_maps_link_path":"dana-samuel-trask-building", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/dana-samuel-trask-building", "room":"2315", "location_name":"Dana Natural Resources Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"https:\/\/ies.engin.umich.edu\/energy-seminar-series\/", "links":[ { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/ies.engin.umich.edu\/energy-seminar-series\/", "title":"IES Energy Seminar Series Webpage" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Institute for Energy Solutions", "group_id":"5361", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138903_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Alissa Kendall Headshot", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138903_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138903_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138903_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138903_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138903_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138903_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138903_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138903_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138903_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138903_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138903_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138903_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138903_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138903_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138903_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138903\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21884219 } , { "id":"138404-21882908", "datetime_modified":"20250911T091040", "datetime_start":"20251023T160000", "datetime_end":"20251023T171500", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-10-23", "date_end":"2025-10-23", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"17:15:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Revealing what\u2019s hidden: optical microscopy of plasmonic nanostructures", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Revealing what\u2019s hidden: optical microscopy of plasmonic nanostructures: Katherine (Kallie) Willets (Temple University)", "event_subtitle":"Katherine (Kallie) Willets (Temple University)", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"Plasmonic nanoparticles have a unique ability to convert light to other forms of energy, enabling applications as broad as biosensing, nanomedicine, (photo)electrocatalysis, photothermal heating, and more.

At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\r\n\r\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives, including cultural, social, and scientific viewpoints. \r\nFurthermore, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.", "occurrence_notes":"for further information contact: serrag@med.umich.edu", "guid":"138082-21881857@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082", "building_id":"", "building_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "building_official_id":0, "campus_maps_id":"595", "campus_maps_link_path":"north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "room":"Rotunda Gallery", "location_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program", "group_id":"5062", "website":"https:\/\/ncrc.umich.edu\/life-ncrc\/occupant-amenities\/art-program" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Consequence Exhibition", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":58, "first_occurrence":21881825 } , { "id":"140688-21887538", "datetime_modified":"20251015T105736", "datetime_start":"20251024T090000", "datetime_end":"20251024T140000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-10-24", "date_end":"2025-10-24", "time_start":"09:00:00", "time_end":"14:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Impacts of Climate Change on Water & Health (I)", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Impacts of Climate Change on Water & Health (I): a MAC-EPID symposium", "event_subtitle":"a MAC-EPID symposium", "event_type":"Conference \/ Symposium", "event_type_id":"5", "description":"9:30 AM \"Opportunities to Improve Water Quality through Urban + Architectural Design\"\r\nJen Maigret (Professor of Architecture, Climate Futures Director, University of Michigan)\r\nJen Maigret is a Professor of Architecture and a licensed architect with over two decades of professional practice experience and master's degrees in both architecture and ecology.

At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces.

Such approaches may some day lead to distributed on-demand fertilizer production and enable ammonia to be used as a zero-carbon alternative fuel. Our group has had an ongoing interest in fundamental studies of well-defined synthetic catalysts that mediate nitrogen reduction (N2R) to ammonia (or hydrazine). We are especially interested in the operative mechanisms by which these catalysts operate. Most recently, we have been pursuing the idea that proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) pathways for N2R can be more thermally efficient than step-wise ET\/PT pathways and have tested this hypothesis via the development of electrochemical PCET (ePCET) mediators driven at potentials sufficiently anodic that the competing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is mitigated. We have also designed related electrocatalytic strategies that exploit an ET instead of a PCET mediator. Relatedly, we are studying catalytic systems that mediate photodriven and (photo)electrochemical N2R. Here, visible light rather than temperature, pressure, or electrochemical potential, provides the primary driving force needed for catalytic ammonia generation.

Drawing from my book, Mapping Neshnabe Futurity, I examine how Indigenous knowledge systems\u2014rooted in land-based ethics, intergenerational responsibility, and reciprocal relationships\u2014function as sophisticated technologies for sustaining ecosystems and communities. Central to this approach are both women-led political movements and trickster methodologies. Figures like Nanabozho embody creativity, misdirection, and transformation, showing how experimentation, surprise, and humor can drive innovation. Trickster thinking unsettles linear notions of progress, inviting scientific practices that are adaptive, relational, and open to unexpected outcomes.\r\n\r\nRather than treating \u201ctechnology\u201d as merely mechanical or digital, I highlight how Indigenous worldviews understand technology as relational: practices for maintaining balance between human and more-than-human worlds. Examples include sustainable water stewardship, climate adaptation, and culturally grounded mapping projects that foreground Anishinaabe languages and histories. By bringing Indigenous studies into conversation with STEM fields, this talk argues for futures where scientific inquiry is inseparable from ethics of care and responsibility. Through Indigenous futurisms and trickster methodologies, we can envision and build worlds that are innovative, just, and ecologically thriving.\r\n\r\nBlaire Morseau is a citizen of the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians and Assistant Professor in the Department of Religious Studies at Michigan State University where she is also affiliate faculty in Digital Humanities and American Indian and Indigenous Studies. Before becoming a professor, she worked as her tribe's first full-time archivist, launching an online collections and dictionary website called Wiwkw\u00e9bth\u00ebgen (We-oh-kweb-jug-gin) using Potawatomi cultural protocols of access and traditional knowledge labels. \r\n\r\nAs Co-Director of The Indigenous Chicago Project, Blaire also helped shape the project's components which include oral histories, digital maps, curricular materials and more, that explore the histories of the region, centering Indigenous voices, laying bare stories of settler-colonial harm, and gesturing toward Indigenous futures.

At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces.

Since RNA function depends on its 3D structure and conformational changes, research in this area focuses on the study of RNA structure along with its folding stability, kinetics, and interactions with metal ions and other molecules. Key questions include: How can the native fold be predicted from the sequence? For a given RNA target, how can RNA-small molecule interactions be predicted and potential drug candidates identified? Developing computational tools to address these questions remains challenging due to limited RNA structural and binding data. To predict 3D structure from sequence, we developed the Vfold pipeline by integrating statistical analysis of RNA structures and molecular dynamics simulations. The Vfold approach showed highly promising results at the international CASP16 competition for biomolecular structure predictions. To design RNA-targeted drugs, we developed the RLDOCK and SPRank pipelines for physics-based and data-driven predictions of ligand-RNA interactions. These models may become useful tools for understanding the structure-based mechanism of RNA function and for accelerating RNA-targeted therapeutic discovery.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"138419-21882923@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138419", "building_id":"1000158", "building_name":"Chemistry Dow Lab", "building_official_id":1000158, "campus_maps_id":"34", "campus_maps_link_path":"willard-h-dow-chemistry-laboratory", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/willard-h-dow-chemistry-laboratory", "room":"1640", "location_name":"Chemistry Dow Lab", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"https:\/\/physics.missouri.edu\/people\/chen", "links":[ { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/physics.missouri.edu\/people\/chen", "title":"Shi-Jie Chen Website" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Chemistry", "group_id":"3761", "website":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/chem" }, { "group_name":"LSA Biophysics", "group_id":"3767", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Chemical Biology", "group_id":"4385", "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\/138419\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21882923 } , { "id":"140887-21887771", "datetime_modified":"20251020T083040", "datetime_start":"20251028T160000", "datetime_end":"20251028T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-10-28", "date_end":"2025-10-28", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"CM-AMO Seminar | Physics at the Intersection of AMO and Plasmas", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"CM-AMO Seminar | Physics at the Intersection of AMO and Plasmas: Scott Baalrud (U-M Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences)", "event_subtitle":"Scott Baalrud (U-M Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences)", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"Two assumptions at the heart of standard plasma theory are that the plasma is weakly coupled in the sense that the potential energy of Coulomb interactions is weak compared to the kinetic energy, and that the plasma is weakly magnetized in the sense that the gyroradii of particles are large compared to the Debye length. A focus of my research group is to extend plasma kinetic theories to treat conditions of strong Coulomb coupling, strong magnetization, or both. The work is largely motivated by topics in dense plasmas, like inertial confinement fusion or dense astrophysical objects like white dwarfs or stellar interiors. However, conditions of strong coupling and\/or strong magnetization can also be created using table-top scale experiments developed in the AMO field. These have the advantage of a controlled and well-diagnosed platform to test the models. In this talk I will describe two categories of experiments (conducted by others) that we have used to validate our theories. The first is ultracold neutral plasmas. These are plasmas created in cold-atom traps (MOTs), where a plasma is produced by laser ionization and diagnosed using laser-induced fluorescence. These experiments produce strongly coupled plasmas in a charge-neutral state. The second is non-neutral plasmas confined in Penning traps. These are strongly magnetized plasmas that can range from weak to strong coupling. The past work has been productive, but there is much more that could be done through collaboration between AMO and plasma physicists.\r\n\r\nBio:\r\nScott Baalrud is a Professor in Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences at the University of Michigan.

At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\r\n\r\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives, including cultural, social, and scientific viewpoints. \r\nFurthermore, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire.

A long-standing puzzle concerns the stringy exclusion principle: what bulk mechanism can reproduce the boundary expectation that the chiral primary Hilbert space of the symmetric orbifold contains only a finite number of states at finite N?\r\n\r\nIn this talk, we present a bulk prescription for computing the finite N spectrum of chiral primary states in symmetric orbifolds of T4 or K3. We show that the integer spectrum at any N is reproduced exactly by summing over one-loop supersymmetric partition functions of the IIB theory on (AdS3 x S3)\/Z_k x M4 orbifolds and their spectral flows. Using the worldsheet in the tensionless limit, we verify that the terms appearing in our proposal coincide with the supersymmetric partition functions of these orbifold geometries. These partition functions contribute with alternating signs due to BPS modes with negative conformal dimensions and charges in twisted sectors. The resulting alternating sum collapses via large cancellations to the finite N polynomials observed in symmetric orbifold CFTs, providing a bulk explanation of the stringy exclusion principle. We identify different Stokes sectors where different infinite subsets of these geometries contribute to the path integral, and propose a classification as functions of the chemical potentials.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"139048-21884681@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/139048", "building_id":"1000208", "building_name":"Randall Laboratory", "building_official_id":1000208, "campus_maps_id":"133", "campus_maps_link_path":"harrison-m-randall-laboratory", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/harrison-m-randall-laboratory", "room":"3481", "location_name":"Randall Laboratory", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics", "group_id":"4286", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of Physics", "group_id":"1965", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"HET Brown Bag Series", "group_id":"3805", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics Seminars", "group_id":"4311", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics Brown Bag Seminars", "group_id":"4865", "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\/139048\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21884681 } , { "id":"140341-21886951", "datetime_modified":"20251006T131545", "datetime_start":"20251029T150000", "datetime_end":"20251029T160000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-10-29", "date_end":"2025-10-29", "time_start":"15:00:00", "time_end":"16:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Department Colloquium | Quantum Field Theory, Separation of Scales, and Beyond", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Department Colloquium | Quantum Field Theory, Separation of Scales, and Beyond: Nathan Seiberg (IAS)", "event_subtitle":"Nathan Seiberg (IAS)", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"We will review the role of Quantum Field Theory (QFT) in modern physics.

However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\r\n\r\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives, including cultural, social, and scientific viewpoints. \r\nFurthermore, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.", "occurrence_notes":"for further information contact: serrag@med.umich.edu", "guid":"138082-21881863@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082", "building_id":"", "building_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "building_official_id":0, "campus_maps_id":"595", "campus_maps_link_path":"north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "room":"Rotunda Gallery", "location_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program", "group_id":"5062", "website":"https:\/\/ncrc.umich.edu\/life-ncrc\/occupant-amenities\/art-program" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Consequence Exhibition", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":58, "first_occurrence":21881825 } , { "id":"138235-21882660", "datetime_modified":"20251028T094355", "datetime_start":"20251030T081500", "datetime_end":"20251030T160000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-10-30", "date_end":"2025-10-30", "time_start":"08:15:00", "time_end":"16:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Caswell Diabetes Institute Metabolism, Obesity, Nutrition & Diabetes Symposium", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Caswell Diabetes Institute Metabolism, Obesity, Nutrition & Diabetes Symposium", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Conference \/ Symposium", "event_type_id":"5", "description":"Join leading researchers and health care professionals at the 4th annual CDI Metabolism, Obesity, Nutrition & Diabetes Symposium!\r\nDiscover the latest breakthroughs in diabetes, obesity, nutrition, and metabolic research through dynamic presentations from both renowned U-M faculty and external experts.

Thank you for your understanding!\r\n\r\nHosted by Raed Al Kontar \r\n\r\nAbstract:\r\nUrban energy systems are growing in complexity as they respond to the challenges of planning location-specific energy transitions. However, current modeling approaches often fail to capture the physical, behavioral, and systemic diversity required for effective localized planning and decision-making.\r\n\r\nIn this talk, I will present integrated frameworks that combine bottom-up physics-based modeling with AI-driven analytics for characterizing urban energy systems. I will first show how the URBANopt platform has developed capabilities that enable coordinated analysis and co-design across buildings, DERs, and the grid. I will then discuss an AI-driven framework that automates input generation and supports dynamic scenario exploration.\r\n\r\nThese capabilities transform urban energy system planning by reducing the labor required for model generation, scaling scenario exploration, and improving accuracy for localized analysis. Together, they form a scalable and adaptable framework that provides stakeholders with actionable insights for planning reliable and efficient energy transitions.\r\n\r\nBiography:\r\nDr. Rawad El Kontar is a Senior Research Engineer at the U.S. Department of Energy\u2019s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). He is the lead developer of URBANopt, DOE\u2019s open-source urban energy modeling platform, and the creator of the Urban Systems Generator, an AI-driven framework that automates building-level data completion and scenario generation for city-scale energy modeling. With a multidisciplinary background spanning architecture, building science, and data science, Rawad develops analytics and software platforms that integrate machine learning, AI, and energy simulation to accelerate the co-design and optimization of buildings, distributed energy resources (DERs), and grid systems. His work supports stakeholders in advancing reliable and efficient energy.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"138904-21884221@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138904", "building_id":"1000448", "building_name":"Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building", "building_official_id":1000448, "campus_maps_id":"56", "campus_maps_link_path":"electrical-engineering-and-computer-science-bld", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science-bld", "room":"1311", "location_name":"Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"https:\/\/ies.engin.umich.edu\/energy-seminar-series\/", "links":[ { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/ies.engin.umich.edu\/energy-seminar-series\/", "title":"IES Energy Seminar Series Webpage" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Institute for Energy Solutions", "group_id":"5361", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138904_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Rawad El Kontar Headshot", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138904_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138904_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138904_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138904_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138904_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138904_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138904_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138904_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138904_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138904_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138904_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138904_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138904_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138904_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_138904_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138904\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21884221 } , { "id":"138413-21882918", "datetime_modified":"20250930T112510", "datetime_start":"20251030T160000", "datetime_end":"20251030T171500", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-10-30", "date_end":"2025-10-30", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"17:15:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Shaping a Soft Future", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Shaping a Soft Future: Michael Dickey (NC State University)", "event_subtitle":"Michael Dickey (NC State University)", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"Existing devices\u2014such as phones, computers, and robots \u2013 are made from rigid materials, which is in direct contrast to the soft materials that compose the human body. Our group is studying and harnessing soft materials to create devices (actuators, sensors, electronics) with tissue-like properties. For example, gallium-based liquid metal alloys have remarkable properties: low melting point, water-like viscosity, low-toxicity, and effectively zero vapor pressure. Despite being liquid, these materials can be patterned into stretchable conductive circuits due to a thin, oxide skin that forms rapidly on its surface. This oxide can also be separated from the metal as a way to print thin conductors and dielectrics at ambient conditions. In addition to soft electronic conductors, we study soft, stretchable ionic conductors called \u2018ionogels\u2019 that contain ionic liquids. We have found simple ways to improve the toughness of these materials.

At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces.

At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\r\n\r\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives, including cultural, social, and scientific viewpoints. \r\nFurthermore, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire.

At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\r\n\r\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives, including cultural, social, and scientific viewpoints. \r\nFurthermore, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.", "occurrence_notes":"for further information contact: serrag@med.umich.edu", "guid":"138082-21881868@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082", "building_id":"", "building_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "building_official_id":0, "campus_maps_id":"595", "campus_maps_link_path":"north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "room":"Rotunda Gallery", "location_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program", "group_id":"5062", "website":"https:\/\/ncrc.umich.edu\/life-ncrc\/occupant-amenities\/art-program" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Consequence Exhibition", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":58, "first_occurrence":21881825 } , { "id":"141185-21888309", "datetime_modified":"20251027T134645", "datetime_start":"20251104T120000", "datetime_end":"20251104T125000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-11-04", "date_end":"2025-11-04", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"12:50:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"A Double Hit to Health: Mixture Effects of Early-Life Heavy Metal and Psychosocial Exposures on Health Outcomes", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"A Double Hit to Health: Mixture Effects of Early-Life Heavy Metal and Psychosocial Exposures on Health Outcomes: Environmental Health Research Webinar, presented by Sara Stein, PhD", "event_subtitle":"Environmental Health Research Webinar, presented by Sara Stein, PhD", "event_type":"Livestream \/ Virtual", "event_type_id":"24", "description":"Sara Stein, PhD is a Research Assistant Professor, Health Behavior & Health Equity, University of Michigan School of Public Health; and an M-LEEaD Scientist.\r\n\r\nThe Integrated Health Sciences Core's webinar series is an interdisciplinary forum for interested researchers to come together to learn and discuss wide-ranging issues in the field of environmental health.

At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\r\n\r\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives, including cultural, social, and scientific viewpoints. \r\nFurthermore, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.", "occurrence_notes":"for further information contact: serrag@med.umich.edu", "guid":"138082-21881869@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082", "building_id":"", "building_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "building_official_id":0, "campus_maps_id":"595", "campus_maps_link_path":"north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "room":"Rotunda Gallery", "location_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program", "group_id":"5062", "website":"https:\/\/ncrc.umich.edu\/life-ncrc\/occupant-amenities\/art-program" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Consequence Exhibition", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":58, "first_occurrence":21881825 } , { "id":"141184-21888306", "datetime_modified":"20251027T132833", "datetime_start":"20251105T113000", "datetime_end":"20251105T133000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-11-05", "date_end":"2025-11-05", "time_start":"11:30:00", "time_end":"13:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Cider and Donuts with the SLC | National First Generation College Student Week", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Cider and Donuts with the SLC | National First Generation College Student Week", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"Come join the Science Learning Center (SLC) for some cider and donuts in celebration of National First Generation College Student Week.

However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\r\n\r\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives, including cultural, social, and scientific viewpoints. \r\nFurthermore, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.", "occurrence_notes":"for further information contact: serrag@med.umich.edu", "guid":"138082-21881870@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082", "building_id":"", "building_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "building_official_id":0, "campus_maps_id":"595", "campus_maps_link_path":"north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "room":"Rotunda Gallery", "location_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program", "group_id":"5062", "website":"https:\/\/ncrc.umich.edu\/life-ncrc\/occupant-amenities\/art-program" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Consequence Exhibition", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":58, "first_occurrence":21881825 } , { "id":"138950-21884288", "datetime_modified":"20260427T090939", "datetime_start":"20251106T120000", "datetime_end":"20251106T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-11-06", "date_end":"2025-11-06", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Watcher of the Sky: Making and Remaking the Detroit Observatory", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Watcher of the Sky: Making and Remaking the Detroit Observatory", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"The Detroit Observatory was once a hub of astronomical discovery that put the University of Michigan on the map as a world-class research institution.

The problem of electronic waste (e-waste) has captured public and scholarly attention, especially in sites like Agbogbloshie in Accra, Ghana with its dystopian vista of discarded computers, televisions and other electronic trash. Energo-waste creates similar yet different problems and takes many different forms. Some can easily be classified as e-waste, such as solar lanterns that no longer provide light, power banks that no longer provide back-up power for mobile phones, or batteries for solar panels that no longer store energy. These can accumulate in the corners of rooms or in trash pits behind homes to be buried or burned, leaving a negative environmental impact either way. Others continue to mark landscapes with their presence: windmills and solar mini-grids that no longer produce power, electric poles that no longer transmit or distribute power, mini hydro projects decommissioned for being financially unviable. Far less obvious forms of energo-waste include the tens of thousands of acres appropriated from rural smallholders and transferred to foreign companies for the purpose of growing jatropha, a crop once hailed as a clean biodiesel option but which quickly fell out of favor leaving large-scale land acquisitions sitting idle; or the tens of thousands of acres of forest sequestered for carbon offset projects (REDD+) that similarly deprived local communities of their use but are now labeled \u201canother failed conservation fad.\u201d Drawing on long-term community-engaged work, participant observation and interview data, we ask: What are the social impacts of and responses to energo-waste? What harms and\/or benefits does it produce, and for whom, both in the present and for the future?\r\n\r\nBiography:\r\nKelly Askew is the Niara Sudarkasa Collegiate Professor of Anthropology and Afroamerican & African Studies at the University of Michigan.

This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\r\n\r\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives, including cultural, social, and scientific viewpoints. \r\nFurthermore, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.", "occurrence_notes":"for further information contact: serrag@med.umich.edu", "guid":"138082-21881871@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082", "building_id":"", "building_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "building_official_id":0, "campus_maps_id":"595", "campus_maps_link_path":"north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "room":"Rotunda Gallery", "location_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program", "group_id":"5062", "website":"https:\/\/ncrc.umich.edu\/life-ncrc\/occupant-amenities\/art-program" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Consequence Exhibition", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":58, "first_occurrence":21881825 } , { "id":"138950-21884321", "datetime_modified":"20260427T090939", "datetime_start":"20251107T120000", "datetime_end":"20251107T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-11-07", "date_end":"2025-11-07", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Watcher of the Sky: Making and Remaking the Detroit Observatory", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Watcher of the Sky: Making and Remaking the Detroit Observatory", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"The Detroit Observatory was once a hub of astronomical discovery that put the University of Michigan on the map as a world-class research institution.

I will present a detailed construction of the null Ray phase space and the localized gauge-invariant observables.\r\n\r\nSuch a construction requires the introduction of a preferred time frame called the dressing time, which includes edge modes that allow localization along a null ray interval. Gauge-invariant observables are then obtained by dressing the fields with the dressing time.\r\n\r\nWe will see how the edge mode symplectic structure can be understood in terms of the integration of degrees of freedom complementary to\r\n\r\nchosen region and how the gauge invariant observables include the covariant area element as a generator of reorientation of the frame. Overall the dressing time this provides a gravitational description of a quantum reference frame.\r\n\r\nFinally, we will describe how the quantization procedure can be encoded through an effective deformation of the gravitational phase space labelled by a central charge.\r\n\r\nIf time permits, I'll comment on the role the central charge plays in resolving the fundamental problem of time in quantum gravity and on some new results concerning the quantization of field theoretical reference frames.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"140954-21887864@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/140954", "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":"340", "location_name":"West Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["science"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics", "group_id":"4286", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of Physics", "group_id":"1965", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics Seminars", "group_id":"4311", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics High Energy Theory Seminars", "group_id":"4313", "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\/140954\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21887864 } , { "id":"141325-21888634", "datetime_modified":"20260518T092015", "datetime_start":"20251107T150000", "datetime_end":"20251107T154500", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-11-07", "date_end":"2025-11-07", "time_start":"15:00:00", "time_end":"15:45:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Sky Tonight", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Sky Tonight", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"A live presentation on what to find in the sky tonight and for the coming few weeks.

At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces.

This talk will provide an overview of our ongoing research quantifying the environmental and operational implications of vehicle electrification across different segments. We examine how electric passenger cars, delivery vans, and transit buses differ in their energy use, emissions, and cost trajectories using a combination of data-driven modeling, optimization, and system analysis. Example studies I will introduce in this talk include regional life cycle emissions assessment for passenger cars, real-world energy consumption prediction for delivery fleets, and transition planning for clean bus networks using a multi-stage stochastic optimization model . Together, these studies demonstrate how analytical and data-driven methods can help us investigate vehicle performance, fleet operations, and system-level emissions outcomes, providing actionable insights.\r\n---\r\nAbout the speaker: Dr. Tu\u011f\u00e7e Y\u00fcksel is an Assistant Professor in Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences at Sabanc\u0131 University, Istanbul, Turkey.

At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand.

At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\r\n\r\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives, including cultural, social, and scientific viewpoints. \r\nFurthermore, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.", "occurrence_notes":"for further information contact: serrag@med.umich.edu", "guid":"138082-21881876@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082", "building_id":"", "building_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "building_official_id":0, "campus_maps_id":"595", "campus_maps_link_path":"north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "room":"Rotunda Gallery", "location_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program", "group_id":"5062", "website":"https:\/\/ncrc.umich.edu\/life-ncrc\/occupant-amenities\/art-program" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Consequence Exhibition", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":58, "first_occurrence":21881825 } , { "id":"141080-21888089", "datetime_modified":"20251027T141350", "datetime_start":"20251112T093000", "datetime_end":"20251112T103000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-11-12", "date_end":"2025-11-12", "time_start":"09:30:00", "time_end":"10:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Cell cycle plasticity and the narrow path of escape", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Cell cycle plasticity and the narrow path of escape: Jeremy Purvis, Ph.D., Professor & Associate Chair for Education, Department of Genetics, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill", "event_subtitle":"Jeremy Purvis, Ph.D., Professor & Associate Chair for Education, Department of Genetics, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"2025 CDB Seminar Series\r\n\r\nWe are pleased to announce that Jeremy Purvis, Ph.D., will present his talk titled \"Cell cycle plasticity and the narrow path of escape\" on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, from 9:30-10:30 am in the BSRB ABC Seminar Rooms, and via live streaming.

However, over the last five years, the crucial role of in-medium effects has come into sharp focus. A new theoretical framework in the language of condensed matter physics has emerged for understanding the relationship between the properties of detector systems and their sensitivity to DM interactions. I will report on three recent advances that leverage this formalism to substantially broaden the design considerations for the next generation of experiments, and even extract new constraints from existing data. First, for DM\u2013electron interactions, large new datasets generated by the materials science community have enabled the first data-driven search for optimal detector materials, which promises to significantly enhance the sensitivity of near-future experiments. Second, just as detectors designed to detect nuclear scattering have been used to study electronic scattering, I will explain how in-medium effects make the reverse possible as well, allowing us to set new limits on DM\u2013nucleon scattering using the low-threshold detectors designed to detect electronic scattering. Third, with the advent of low-threshold detectors sensitive to energy deposits as low as 50 meV, we have finally entered the regime where the interaction rate can be significantly enhanced due to the geometry of the detector system. These three considerations promise to substantially accelerate the search for light DM in both mass and cross section over the coming years.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"137598-21880447@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/137598", "building_id":"1000208", "building_name":"Randall Laboratory", "building_official_id":1000208, "campus_maps_id":"133", "campus_maps_link_path":"harrison-m-randall-laboratory", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/harrison-m-randall-laboratory", "room":"3481", "location_name":"Randall Laboratory", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics", "group_id":"4286", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of Physics", "group_id":"1965", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"HET Brown Bag Series", "group_id":"3805", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics Seminars", "group_id":"4311", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics Brown Bag Seminars", "group_id":"4865", "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\/137598\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21880447 } , { "id":"141461-21888827", "datetime_modified":"20260107T161837", "datetime_start":"20251112T120000", "datetime_end":"20251112T130000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-11-12", "date_end":"2025-11-12", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"13:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"MPSDS \/ JPSM Seminar Series: Achieving Fairness in AI with Synthetic Data", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"MPSDS \/ JPSM Seminar Series: Achieving Fairness in AI with Synthetic Data: Bei Jiang - University of Alberta", "event_subtitle":"Bei Jiang - University of Alberta", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"MPSDS \/ JPSM Seminar Series\r\nMPSDS M3 Series: Mastery, Methodology, Meetups\r\n\r\nIn person, room 1070, Institute for Social Research and via Zoom. \r\nThe Zoom call be be locked 10 minutes after the start of the presentation. \r\nPlease note that many of the links have changed.\r\n\r\nAchieving Fairness in AI with Synthetic Data\r\nArtificial intelligence and machine learning increasingly inform decisions in hiring, lending, healthcare, and justice. Yet real-world datasets often encode historical bias, and models trained on them can reproduce or amplify inequities. Pre-processing via fair synthetic data is a promising: if we can generate data that mitigates bias at the source while preserving signal, downstream models can be both fair and useful. This talk introduces FDA (Fair synthetic data via Data Augmentation), a statistically principled framework that makes the fairness\u2013faithfulness trade-off explicit and controllable. FDA jointly models a fair submodel and a faithful submodel, coupled by a single parameter $\\alpha \\in [0,1]$ that quantifies the fraction of bias removed. We prove clear operating points: $\\alpha=0$ yields maximal fairness (with larger deviation from the original distribution), $\\alpha=1$ recovers the original data in probability (hence in distribution), and intermediate $\\alpha$ values guarantee calibrated compromises with interpretable bounds. Practically, FDA samples directly from simple predictive distributions, avoiding heavy black-box training. We further provide theory connecting FDA\u2019s $\\alpha$ to fairness of downstream models. Together, these results deliver a transparent, efficient, and deployable path to generating fair synthetic data without sacrificing essential statistical structure.\r\n\r\nDr. Bei Jiang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at the University of Alberta, a Fellow of the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute (Amii), and a Canada CIFAR AI Chair.

At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces.

Hallmarks of this process include inflammation, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, and aortic stiffening, all of which compromise the ability of large arteries to regulate blood flow and pressure, increasing susceptibility to disease. Our research program seeks to uncover the molecular mechanisms that drive these functional shifts and to determine how environmental stressors accelerate vascular aging. In this seminar, I will first highlight recent findings from our work mapping the trajectory of aortic aging in mice. Using single-cell transcriptomics and mechanical testing, we identified immune cell accumulation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and altered Piezo-1 signaling as key processes that increase aortic stiffness with age. I will then discuss how chronic exposure to wildfire smoke, an increasingly common environmental hazard, can recapitulate age-associated vascular maladaptation. Through a mouse model scaled to the exposure of wildland firefighters, we demonstrated that repeated inhalation of Douglas Fir smoke induces inflammation, oxidative and nitrosative stress, endothelial dysfunction, and fibrotic remodeling of the aortic wall, leading to vascular stiffening and elevated blood pressure. Collectively, these studies frame vascular aging as a unifying lens through which to understand the cardiovascular consequences of environmental exposures and highlight pathways that may guide future prevention and intervention strategies.", "occurrence_notes":"https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/98302088175", "guid":"141406-21888772@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/141406", "building_id":"1000406", "building_name":"Lurie Biomedical Engineering (formerly ATL)", "building_official_id":1000406, "campus_maps_id":"7", "campus_maps_link_path":"lurie-ann-and-robert-h-biomedical-engineering-bld", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/lurie-ann-and-robert-h-biomedical-engineering-bld", "room":"1130", "location_name":"Lurie Biomedical Engineering (formerly ATL)", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"http:\/\/bme.umich.edu", "links":[ { "type":"other", "url":"http:\/\/bme.umich.edu", "title":null } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Biomedical Engineering", "group_id":"1143", "website":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100094127215673" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141406_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"A speaker talking to a group of students in a classroom.", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141406_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141406_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141406_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141406_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141406_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141406_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141406_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141406_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141406_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141406_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141406_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141406_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141406_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141406_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141406_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/141406\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21888772 } , { "id":"138907-21884224", "datetime_modified":"20251021T090113", "datetime_start":"20251113T153000", "datetime_end":"20251113T163000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-11-13", "date_end":"2025-11-13", "time_start":"15:30:00", "time_end":"16:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"IES Energy Seminar Series - Democratizing Access to Power Grid Data and Models", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"IES Energy Seminar Series - Democratizing Access to Power Grid Data and Models: Vlad Dvorkin, University of Michigan, Electrical and Computer Engineering", "event_subtitle":"Vlad Dvorkin, University of Michigan, Electrical and Computer Engineering", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"Abstract: Power grid operations have been profoundly influenced by innovations in data analytics, optimization, and control \u2014 all thriving on the availability of power grid data and models. However, as power grids contain much proprietary data and increasingly become targets of cyberattacks, releasing information from power systems now requires carefully balancing grid transparency, data owner privacy, and security objectives. The last two are often prioritized by conservative grid operators at the expense of the former. How can we systematically balance grid transparency with the privacy and cyber resilience of power systems?\r\n\r\nIn this talk, I will provide algorithmic answers to this question that quantify and control information disclosures from power systems while ensuring that the source system and its actors are not exposed to cyber and privacy risks. They are based on the fusion of power grid engineering, operations research, differential privacy, and diffusion models, various combinations of which enable controllable data disclosures in various contexts. Our solutions aim to set new standards for trustworthy data sharing in the power systems industry, enabling frequent and targeted data sharing, creating new opportunities for third-party analytics, and enabling public oversight of grid and market operations.\r\n\r\nBio: Vladimir Dvorkin is an Assistant Professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the University of Michigan.

The rational design of next-generation electrocatalysts - guided by sound scientific hypothesis - is essential for advancing practical technologies. In recent years, my team at Argonne has actively explored high-performance electrocatalysts using innovative design and synthesis strategies. In this presentation, I will first discuss our recent advances in utilizing metal\u2013organic frameworks (MOFs) as tunable precursors for oxygen redox electrocatalysis. This includes the development of platinum-group-metal-free (PGM-free) and ultralow-platinum catalysts for proton exchange membrane fuel cells [1], as well as PGM-free catalysts as viable replacements for iridium for water electrolysis [2]. I will then introduce our recent studies on the selective electrochemical reduction of CO\u2082 to multi-carbon (C\u2082\u207a) products, where the reaction pathways and product distributions are profoundly modulated by active-site geometry, atomic coordination, and nanoconfinement effects [3\u20135].\r\nThe presentation outlines our integrated approach that combines advanced structural and spectroscopic characterization, computational modeling, and machine-learning-guided discovery to uncover catalytic mechanisms and guide materials optimization. Finally, I will discuss the implications of these findings for the scalable design of next-generation electrocatalysts in future energy conversion and storage applications.\r\n[1] \u201cUltralow-loading platinum-cobalt fuel cell catalysts derived from imidazolate frameworks\u201d L.

At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\r\n\r\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives, including cultural, social, and scientific viewpoints. \r\nFurthermore, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.", "occurrence_notes":"for further information contact: serrag@med.umich.edu", "guid":"138082-21881878@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082", "building_id":"", "building_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "building_official_id":0, "campus_maps_id":"595", "campus_maps_link_path":"north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "room":"Rotunda Gallery", "location_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program", "group_id":"5062", "website":"https:\/\/ncrc.umich.edu\/life-ncrc\/occupant-amenities\/art-program" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Consequence Exhibition", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":58, "first_occurrence":21881825 } , { "id":"138950-21884322", "datetime_modified":"20260427T090939", "datetime_start":"20251114T120000", "datetime_end":"20251114T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-11-14", "date_end":"2025-11-14", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Watcher of the Sky: Making and Remaking the Detroit Observatory", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Watcher of the Sky: Making and Remaking the Detroit Observatory", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"The Detroit Observatory was once a hub of astronomical discovery that put the University of Michigan on the map as a world-class research institution.

As the Learning Health System nears 20 years of implementation, the field is moving from initial demonstrations of feasibility to a concerted focus on conceptual foundations, including social science approaches to culture, equity, and policy. This presentation will provide a brief history of the Learning Health System and a critical consideration of the model\u2019s potential for healthcare systems transformation. Working in the traditions of problem-solving sociology and the real utopias project, I will draw from ethnographic research and practice-based work to extend the conceptual foundations of the Learning Health System model and discuss how these new foundations can facilitate transformative change.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"140678-21887488@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/140678", "building_id":"1005188", "building_name":"Ross School of Business", "building_official_id":1005188, "campus_maps_id":"547", "campus_maps_link_path":"stephen-m-ross-school-of-business-building", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/stephen-m-ross-school-of-business-building", "room":"R1210", "location_name":"Ross School of Business", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"https:\/\/icos.umich.edu\/lecture\/alexandra-vinson-university-of-michigan\/", "links":[ { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/icos.umich.edu\/lecture\/alexandra-vinson-university-of-michigan\/", "title":"https:\/\/icos.umich.edu\/lecture\/alexandra-vinson-university-of-michigan\/" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS", "group_id":"4231", "website":"http:\/\/icos.umich.edu" }, { "group_name":"Department of Sociology", "group_id":"3478", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Organizational Studies Program (OS)", "group_id":"3526", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140678_original-1.png", "image_description":"Photo of Alexandra Vinson", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140678_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140678_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140678_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140678_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140678_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140678_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140678_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140678_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140678_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140678_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140678_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140678_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140678_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140678_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140678_original-1.png" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/140678\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21887488 } , { "id":"140381-21887006", "datetime_modified":"20251027T164847", "datetime_start":"20251114T150000", "datetime_end":"20251114T160000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-11-14", "date_end":"2025-11-14", "time_start":"15:00:00", "time_end":"16:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Borer Lecture: \"Mapping Your Next Exercise Bout: The Dynamic Multiomic Response to Acute Exercise\"", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Borer Lecture: \"Mapping Your Next Exercise Bout: The Dynamic Multiomic Response to Acute Exercise\": Charles Burant, MD, PhD", "event_subtitle":"Charles Burant, MD, PhD", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"Charles Burant, MD, PhD, professor of internal medicine, nutritional sciences, and molecular & integrative physiology; director of the Taubman Medical Research Institute; and director of the Michigan Metabolomics Core at the University of Michigan, will deliver this year\u2019s Katarina T.

At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\r\n\r\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives, including cultural, social, and scientific viewpoints. \r\nFurthermore, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.", "occurrence_notes":"for further information contact: serrag@med.umich.edu", "guid":"138082-21881881@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082", "building_id":"", "building_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "building_official_id":0, "campus_maps_id":"595", "campus_maps_link_path":"north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "room":"Rotunda Gallery", "location_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program", "group_id":"5062", "website":"https:\/\/ncrc.umich.edu\/life-ncrc\/occupant-amenities\/art-program" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Consequence Exhibition", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":58, "first_occurrence":21881825 } , { "id":"139512-21885676", "datetime_modified":"20251010T110229", "datetime_start":"20251117T090000", "datetime_end":"20251117T173000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-11-17", "date_end":"2025-11-17", "time_start":"09:00:00", "time_end":"17:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"U-M Annual Data Science & AI Summit 2025", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"U-M Annual Data Science & AI Summit 2025", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Conference \/ Symposium", "event_type_id":"5", "description":"The U-M Data Science and AI Summit is the largest annual data science and AI event on campus.

The next-generation instrument on the South Pole Telescope, SPT-3G, has enabled the production of the deepest, mm-wave detected galaxy cluster sample to date over the 100 deg\u00b2 SPT-Deep survey. With 442 optically confirmed clusters at a median redshift of 0.74 and a median mass of 1.7 x 10\u00b9\u2074 M\u2299, this cluster sample provides the first look into a new regime of cluster populations accessible for cluster cosmology. One key astrophysical contaminant for mm-wave cluster cosmology is emission from star-forming galaxies as it is spatially correlated with the negative thermal Sunyaev\u2013Zel\u2019dovich signal used to detect galaxy clusters; this can alter the cluster selection function\u2014particularly for low-mass, high-redshift systems\u2014and potentially bias recovered cosmological parameters. For the first time, the magnitude of this contamination at high-redshift has been quantified with combined data from SPT and Herschel SPIRE, and we find that the tSZ signal is mitigated by dust at high-redshift (z > 1) by 4% at 95GHz, and 18% at 150GHz. However, we find that SPT\u2019s 220GHz band provides sufficient leverage on dust emission to prevent this contamination from significantly impacting the cluster selection function over the mass and redshift range probed in this work. This marks an important step for validating the cluster selection function for the full forthcoming SPT-3G 1500d cluster sample that will be used for the next-generation of cluster cosmology measurements.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"141691-21889188@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/141691", "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":"340", "location_name":"West Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"HEP - Astro Seminars", "group_id":"3799", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of Physics", "group_id":"1965", "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\/141691\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21889188 } , { "id":"141797-21889373", "datetime_modified":"20251116T161237", "datetime_start":"20251117T180000", "datetime_end":"20251117T193000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-11-17", "date_end":"2025-11-17", "time_start":"18:00:00", "time_end":"19:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"oSTEM Presents: Professor Panel", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"oSTEM Presents: Professor Panel", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Careers \/ Jobs", "event_type_id":"2", "description":"Hear from LGBTQ+ academics about their experiences in STEM!\r\n\r\nJoin Out in STEM at the University of Michigan for a moderated panel about LGBTQ+ identity in STEM and get your questions answered.

At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\r\n\r\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives, including cultural, social, and scientific viewpoints. \r\nFurthermore, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.", "occurrence_notes":"for further information contact: serrag@med.umich.edu", "guid":"138082-21881882@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082", "building_id":"", "building_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "building_official_id":0, "campus_maps_id":"595", "campus_maps_link_path":"north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "room":"Rotunda Gallery", "location_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program", "group_id":"5062", "website":"https:\/\/ncrc.umich.edu\/life-ncrc\/occupant-amenities\/art-program" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Consequence Exhibition", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":58, "first_occurrence":21881825 } , { "id":"139512-21885677", "datetime_modified":"20251010T110229", "datetime_start":"20251118T090000", "datetime_end":"20251118T173000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-11-18", "date_end":"2025-11-18", "time_start":"09:00:00", "time_end":"17:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"U-M Annual Data Science & AI Summit 2025", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"U-M Annual Data Science & AI Summit 2025", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Conference \/ Symposium", "event_type_id":"5", "description":"The U-M Data Science and AI Summit is the largest annual data science and AI event on campus.

A new type of clock based on the internal transitions of atomic nuclei, dubbed nuclear clocks, was proposed by Peik and Tamm in 2003. Among nuclei, the thorium-229 nucleus is unique in having a transition at low enough energy to be accessible with present-day laser technology, and laser spectroscopy of the 148 nm thorium-229 nuclear isomer transition was first demonstrated by three groups nearly simultaneously in 2024. Due to the higher energy scales and additional fundamental interactions present in the nucleus, nuclear transitions are much more sensitive to small deviations from the predictions of the Standard Model than atomic transitions. Thus, thorium nuclear clocks may offer insights about unification theories, the nature of dark matter, or other physics beyond the Standard Model.\r\n\r\nI will begin this talk with a brief overview of the thorium-229 nuclear isomer transition and the two experimental approaches currently being pursued to build thorium nuclear clocks: one based on thorium doped into solid-state hosts and the other based on trapped and laser-cooled thorium ions. Next, I will present the design and current status of a trapped-ion thorium clock experiment under construction in my lab at UCLA. Finally, I will conclude with a discussion of the fundamental physics reach of this and other thorium nuclear clocks.\r\n\r\nBio: David Leibrandt is a Professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at UCLA.

At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\r\n\r\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives, including cultural, social, and scientific viewpoints. \r\nFurthermore, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.", "occurrence_notes":"for further information contact: serrag@med.umich.edu", "guid":"138082-21881883@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082", "building_id":"", "building_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "building_official_id":0, "campus_maps_id":"595", "campus_maps_link_path":"north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "room":"Rotunda Gallery", "location_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program", "group_id":"5062", "website":"https:\/\/ncrc.umich.edu\/life-ncrc\/occupant-amenities\/art-program" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Consequence Exhibition", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":58, "first_occurrence":21881825 } , { "id":"139049-21884682", "datetime_modified":"20251105T090437", "datetime_start":"20251119T120000", "datetime_end":"20251119T130000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-11-19", "date_end":"2025-11-19", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"13:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"HET Brown Bag Seminar | Form factors in the large-N bootstrap", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"HET Brown Bag Seminar | Form factors in the large-N bootstrap: Jan Albert (Princeton)", "event_subtitle":"Jan Albert (Princeton)", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"Well after 50 years since the discovery of QCD, we are still lacking a description of the theory of strong interactions at low energies. For instance, we do not know how to produce the rich meson spectrum out of the handful of parameters in the QCD Lagrangian, other than by brute-force lattice simulations. This has prompted a revival of the S-matrix bootstrap, which aims to single out the theory as the unique set of scattering amplitudes consistent with certain self-consistency conditions. This approach has led to sharp, rigorous bounds for pion scattering in the large N limit. But these bounds are completely agnostic about the UV completion of the theory. In this talk I will explain how, by enlarging the system to include form factors and two-point functions, one can input UV information (computed with perturbative QCD) into the bootstrap.

In his sixth problem, Hilbert called for the derivation of the equations of fluid mechanics\u2014such as the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations\u2014by way of rigorously justifying Boltzmann\u2019s kinetic theory for particle systems. The scope of this program, also known as Hilbert\u2019s program, was precisely framed in the mid-20th century through the works of Grad and Cercignani, who identified the correct limiting process involved: the Boltzmann-Grad limit. In his celebrated work, Lanford (1975) gave the first rigorous derivation of Boltzmann\u2019s equations, albeit only valid for short times. However, Hilbert\u2019s sixth problem requires a long-time extension of Lanford's result, which remained open for decades. In recent joint work with Yu Deng (U Chicago) and Xiao Ma (U Michigan), we extend Lanford\u2019s theorem to long times\u2014specifically for as long as the solution of Boltzmann\u2019s equation exists.

At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\r\n\r\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives, including cultural, social, and scientific viewpoints. \r\nFurthermore, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.", "occurrence_notes":"for further information contact: serrag@med.umich.edu", "guid":"138082-21881884@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082", "building_id":"", "building_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "building_official_id":0, "campus_maps_id":"595", "campus_maps_link_path":"north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "room":"Rotunda Gallery", "location_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program", "group_id":"5062", "website":"https:\/\/ncrc.umich.edu\/life-ncrc\/occupant-amenities\/art-program" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Consequence Exhibition", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":58, "first_occurrence":21881825 } , { "id":"138950-21884290", "datetime_modified":"20260427T090939", "datetime_start":"20251120T120000", "datetime_end":"20251120T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-11-20", "date_end":"2025-11-20", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Watcher of the Sky: Making and Remaking the Detroit Observatory", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Watcher of the Sky: Making and Remaking the Detroit Observatory", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"The Detroit Observatory was once a hub of astronomical discovery that put the University of Michigan on the map as a world-class research institution.

Inspired by resilient activities in ecology and other non-engineering fields in responding to and recovering from catastrophic adverse events, the research objective is to adapt resilience to engineering design and operation domains in order to create failure resilient energy systems. To realize engineered resilience, a new paradigm for engineering design under uncertainty is developed, which enables concurrent development of reliable system functions and proactive prognosis of function failures. Failure prognosis plays an important role in realizing engineered resilience since it detects, diagnoses, and predicts system-wide effects of adverse events, therefore enables a proactive approach to deal with system failures. This talk will introduce the resilience concept and system design and operational challenges, and then present recent advances achieved in design, especially under different scenarios when data related to system failures is rare or abundantly but indirectly available. Practical engineering applications on battery energy storage systems at different scales will be used to demonstrate the advances. \r\n\r\nBio: Dr. Pingfeng Wang is currently a professor and holds the Donald Biggar Willett Faculty Scholar and the Jerry S.

To date, research in electrocatalysis \u2013 the key tool which allows us to link electricity to chemical reactions \u2013 remains strongly focused on the transformation of small inorganic molecules such as CO2, H2O, N2, and oxygenated biomass derivatives. Yet, comprehensive industrial electrification will likely require electrocatalytic methods that can promote the reactions that make up the core of the chemicals and fuels industry: n-alkane transformations.\r\nIn this talk, I will demonstrate that electricity-driven alkane transformations not only are feasible but that they also unlock new avenues of reactivity, offering solutions to long-standing challenges in catalytic alkane chemistry. Specifically, I will show how our group combined a fundamental understanding of interfacial electrocatalytic processes1 with in-situ electrochemical mass spectrometry to gain independent, real-time control over the elementary steps of alkane transformations at room temperature. By modulating the potential applied to an electrocatalyst surface, we were able to independently control the adsorption of n-alkanes, initiate the transformation of adsorbates while they are bound to the surface, and selectively desorb desired products while keeping others anchored. These methods provide a powerful lever of control over catalytic surface chemistry, enabling us to demonstrate remarkable reactivity, including: (1) the room-temperature electrochemical fragmentation of ethane2 and butane3 into shorter chain fragments, and (2) the room-temperature dehydrogenation of n alkanes to alkenes.4 Beyond these transformations, I will show how leveraging independent control over elementary steps allowed us to deconstruct the continuous oxidation of n-alkanes in fuel cells into its fundamental steps\u2014identifying bottlenecks and providing new design principles for improved catalysts.5\r\nIn the final part of my talk, I will discuss how, at a fundamental level, applied voltages control the rate of electrocatalytic reactions. Electron transfer reactions are typically thought to pass through a vibrationally activated transition state, making them temperature dependent. However, we discovered that some electrocatalytic reaction classes, for example CO\u2082 reduction, show little to no temperature dependence, regardless of the catalyst or electrolyte. Building on previous reports by Halpern and Conway, I will discuss how our mechanistic interpretation of this phenomenon points to the translational, rather than vibrational, reorganization of electrolyte components to form an interfacial electron transfer transition state.6 I will also discuss how this insight highlights the importance of considering more than enthalpic activation barriers in designing electrocatalytic systems.\r\nBy extending electrocatalysis to alkane transformations and uncovering new mechanistic insights into reaction rate control, we aim to enable more precise atomic-level manipulation in electrocatalytic processes, paving the way for a more selective, efficient, and electrified chemical industry of the future.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"138408-21882913@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138408", "building_id":"1000158", "building_name":"Chemistry Dow Lab", "building_official_id":1000158, "campus_maps_id":"34", "campus_maps_link_path":"willard-h-dow-chemistry-laboratory", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/willard-h-dow-chemistry-laboratory", "room":"1640", "location_name":"Chemistry Dow Lab", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"https:\/\/engineering.wisc.edu\/directory\/profile\/marcel-schreier\/", "links":[ { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/engineering.wisc.edu\/directory\/profile\/marcel-schreier\/", "title":"Marcel Shrier Website" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Chemistry", "group_id":"3761", "website":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/chem" }, { "group_name":"Analytical Chemistry", "group_id":"4384", "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\/138408\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21882913 } , { "id":"138082-21881885", "datetime_modified":"20250904T104107", "datetime_start":"20251121T080000", "datetime_end":"20251121T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-11-21", "date_end":"2025-11-21", "time_start":"08:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism: Susan Goethel Campbell, Halima Afi Cassells and Shanna Merola Collaboration, Sandra Osip, Clinton Snider and Leslie Sobel", "event_subtitle":"Susan Goethel Campbell, Halima Afi Cassells and Shanna Merola Collaboration, Sandra Osip, Clinton Snider and Leslie Sobel", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"This group exhibition is an in-depth exploration of the role of art as a powerful catalyst for environmental activism. At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\r\n\r\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives, including cultural, social, and scientific viewpoints. \r\nFurthermore, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.", "occurrence_notes":"for further information contact: serrag@med.umich.edu", "guid":"138082-21881885@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082", "building_id":"", "building_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "building_official_id":0, "campus_maps_id":"595", "campus_maps_link_path":"north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/north-campus-research-complex-building-18", "room":"Rotunda Gallery", "location_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program", "group_id":"5062", "website":"https:\/\/ncrc.umich.edu\/life-ncrc\/occupant-amenities\/art-program" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Consequence Exhibition", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":58, "first_occurrence":21881825 } , { "id":"138950-21884323", "datetime_modified":"20260427T090939", "datetime_start":"20251121T120000", "datetime_end":"20251121T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-11-21", "date_end":"2025-11-21", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Watcher of the Sky: Making and Remaking the Detroit Observatory", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Watcher of the Sky: Making and Remaking the Detroit Observatory", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"The Detroit Observatory was once a hub of astronomical discovery that put the University of Michigan on the map as a world-class research institution.

In particular, the talk will describe a recent complete analysis the full set of 470 million toric hypersurface Calabi-Yau threefolds, of which over 99.99% have an elliptic or genus one fiber structure. This approach also helps understand the way in which all of these Calabi-Yaus are connected, and provides strong evidence that the set of such manifolds is finite.

At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities.

At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces.

In this scenario, a small fraction of a halo, approximately 1% of its mass, collapses into a dense core, which could further evolve into a black hole. We demonstrate that this process can account for the origin of JWST little red dots (LRDs) observed at redshifts \ud835\udc67\u223c4\u201311, where black holes with masses of 10^7M\u2299 can form within 500 Myr after the formation of host halos with masses of 10^9M\u2299. Even if the initial collapse region triggering general-relativistic instability has a mass on the order of one solar mass, the resulting seed can grow into an intermediate-mass black hole via Eddington accretion of baryonic gas. Subsequently, it can continue to grow into a supermassive black hole through dark Bondi accretion of dark matter particles. In this scenario, the majority of the black hole's mass originates from dark matter accretion rather than baryonic matter, naturally explaining the overmassive feature of LRDs.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"141939-21889658@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/141939", "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":"340", "location_name":"West Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Science"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"HEP - Astro Seminars", "group_id":"3799", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of Physics", "group_id":"1965", "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\/141939\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21889658 } , { "id":"141599-21889073", "datetime_modified":"20251106T152901", "datetime_start":"20251201T170000", "datetime_end":"20251201T180000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-12-01", "date_end":"2025-12-01", "time_start":"17:00:00", "time_end":"18:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Thriving in STEM | Medical School Inside Story", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Thriving in STEM | Medical School Inside Story: Carol Teener, U-M Medical School Director of Admissions", "event_subtitle":"Carol Teener, U-M Medical School Director of Admissions", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"Do you have questions about medical school admissions?

At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\r\n\r\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives, including cultural, social, and scientific viewpoints. \r\nFurthermore, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire.

Structured light 2. Optical fiber sensing. I will discuss light beams that have spatially inhomogeneous state of polarization, including their description on a so called higher-order Poincare sphere, an associated Pancharatnam-Berry phase, and their applications in optical communication and sensing. I will also discuss how exploiting Rayleigh, Raman, and Brillouin backscattering in optical fibers in combination with machine learning can enable distributed optical fiber sensing over existing telecommunication infrastructure. \r\n\r\nBio: Dr. Giovanni Milione is a Senior Researcher\/Business Incubation Lead in the Optical Networking & Sensing Department at NEC Labs America, Inc. in Princeton, NJ.
