In this talk, we will explain the approach of Ellenberg-Tran-Westerland to produce an asymptotic bound on the homology of Hurwitz spaces, starting with integrating the classical Fox-Neuwirth stratification of configuration spaces into the twisted setting.

Enthusiasts touted AI's ability to turn anyone into a writer or an artist, to make workers more efficient and companies richer\u2014that is, if it didn't become powerful enough to destroy humanity altogether. Skeptics pointed out that AI language models spout falsehoods and facts with equal confidence, can churn out disinformation too quickly for fact-checkers to keep up, and threaten writers' jobs and livelihoods.\r\n \r\nIn science communication, where accuracy and understanding are priorities, is there any place for AI tools? Sophie Bushwick has been covering this technology through the generative AI boom, exploring how artificial intelligence models work and how they're impacting a variety of fields, including medicine and education. She will draw on that experience to discuss AI's strengths and flaws, and what scientists and science communicators should consider when deciding how best to use it. \r\n\r\n*The LSI's SciComm Speaker Series highlights the importance of disseminating scientific findings beyond the walls of the academy and effectively communicating the impact of publicly-funded research. This annual event provides world-leading science writers and communicators with an opportunity to share their experiences with faculty, staff and students, while also tapping into U-M's vast scientific research community.*\r\n\r\n\r\nAbout the speaker:\r\nSophie Bushwick is a science and technology journalist based in New York City and is currently working as senior news editor at New Scientist. She has more than a decade of experience as a freelance writer and staff editor at outlets including Scientific American, where she covered the recent generative AI boom, Popular Science, Discover Magazine and Gizmodo; and she continues to make regular appearances on Science Friday. Her work spans digital and print, podcasts and radio, TV news and TikTok.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don\u2019t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.\u00a0\u00a0\n \nIn this online exhibition, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum\u2019s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery, which will open in early 2021, you\u2019ll be able to experience the changes we\u2019re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history.\u00a0\n \nBy challenging our own practice, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles, and fails to settle for, simple narratives.\u00a0\n \n\u201cInvisible things are not necessarily \u2018not there\u2019....
