Science communication is considered an important part of professional development, yet the opportunities for engaging in outreach activities often favor certain venues (e.g., museums) and audiences (e.g., K-12). As a result, public reach is biased towards more mobile and\/or affluent communities with easier access to engagement opportunities, leaving many populations out of the conversation entirely. In my talk, I will share my experiences participating in and organizing outreach efforts aimed at bringing underrepresented, 'non-traditional' audiences into scientific conversations including scientist and audience testimonials as well as the logistical challenges of working in certain venues.\n----------\nSpeaker 2: Patricia Torres Pineda, PhD candidate\nMuseo Nacional de Historia Natural \"Prof. Eugenio de Jes\u00fas Marcano\", Santo Domingo, R.D\n\nTitle: The colonial legacies of natural history collections: specimens from the Caribbean as a case study\n\nDescription: It has been estimated that at least 1.1 billion zoological specimens are housed in natural history museums and collections around the world. These specimens comprise the foundation of a plethora of biological and environmental research, including studies on wildlife biology, ecology, and conservation, habitat restoration, predictive investigations related to climate change and public health, as well as education and public engagement. In the last decades, museum and collections professionals have started important conversations regarding the colonial legacies that have shaped and, in many cases, still inform the practices, access, and use (or lack thereof) of collections. Regrettably, these debates are still not as prevalent in the field of natural history collections and museums. Despite the Caribbean being one of the top Biodiversity hotspots of the planet (geographic areas that concentrate a large number of unique species), this diversity is not being fairly represented in Caribbean-based museums and collections. Here, I present preliminary results of an exploratory study on the geopolitical distribution patterns of zoological natural history specimens from the Caribbean in collections around the world, where striking disparities in quantity and quality of collections housed locally, in comparison with those in Global North institutions, become evident. In order to address the causes and implications of these biases and open a dialogue that moves us towards more inclusive and fairer practices in zoological collecting and curating, we must understand the extent and magnitude of the disparities.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"145399-21897247@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/145399", "building_id":"1005169", "building_name":"Biological Sciences Building", "campus_maps_id":"631", "room":"1010", "location_name":"Biological Sciences Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Museum - Herbarium","Bsbsigns","department of ecology and evolutionary biology","Discussion","ecology","Ecology & Biology","Ecology And Evolutionary Biology","eeb","Graduate Students","Museum","Museum - Zoology","Museum Of Zoology"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Ecology and Evolutionary Biology", "group_id":"1190", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"EEB Tuesday Lunch Seminars", "group_id":"3823", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_145399_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_145399_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_145399_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_145399_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_145399_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_145399_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_145399_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_145399_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_145399_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_145399_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_145399_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_145399_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_145399_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_145399_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_145399_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_145399_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21897247 } , "142510-21891058": { "datetime_modified":"20251209T122706", "datetime_start":"20260217T120000", "datetime_end":"20260217T132000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-02-17", "date_end":"2026-02-17", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"13:20:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Elliot S.

Thoughts make it possible to simulate possible futures and alternative pasts, and to use those simulations to inform choices. Here we focus on two key features of thoughts. First, thoughts can be controlled: subjects can typically decide what to think about and then generate related mental representations. Second, thoughts are behaviorally accessible: subjects can act based on their representational content. The neural activity patterns that underlie thoughts are poorly understood, but we do know that there are specific activity patterns in the brain that are consistent with mental simulations. These include non-local spatial representations in the hippocampus that are consistent with possible futures and alternative pasts. Whether these representations are controllable and accessible remains unclear. We therefore developed two tasks that where we delivered real-time feedback contingent on the decoded content of non-local hippocampal representations. These tasks allowed us to determine 1) whether animals can control the content of non-local hippocampal representations and 2) whether they can access that content to guide an upcoming choice. If you are interested in knowing what we found, please come to the talk.\r\n\r\nAbout the speaker: Loren Frank is Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator and a Professor in the Department of Physiology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). He received his B.A. in Psychology and Cognitive studies from Carleton College, his Ph.D. in Systems Neuroscience and Computation from M.I.T. and did post-doctoral research at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard University. His laboratory uses a combination of techniques to study the neural bases of learning, memory and decision-making. is work focuses on the hippocampus and related structures, brain areas critical for both forming and retrieving memories for the events of daily life and for generating representations of possibilities that go beyond immediate experience. He also works in close collaboration with colleagues from multiple institutions to develop new technologies to understand how the brain works and how to fix it when it is not working properly. These technologies include flexible polymer electrodes that make it possible to record from large numbers of neurons for months at a time and real-time feedback systems that enable manipulations of specific patterns of brain activity. Dr. Frank has received numerous awards for his scientific discoveries and his mentoring, including fellowships from the Sloan, McKnight and Merck Foundations as well as the Society for Neuroscience Young Investigator Award, the University of Indiana Gill Young Investigator Award, the UCSF Faculty Mentoring Award, and the College Mentors for Kids Inspire Award.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"142510-21891058@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/142510", "building_id":"1000166", "building_name":"East Hall", "campus_maps_id":"53", "room":"4448", "location_name":"East Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Psychology","Neuroscience"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Psychology", "group_id":"3615", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/psych\/" }, { "group_name":"Brain & Behavior", "group_id":"3662", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142510_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142510_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142510_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142510_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142510_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142510_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142510_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142510_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142510_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142510_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142510_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142510_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142510_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142510_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142510_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142510_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21891058 } , "142839-21891733": { "datetime_modified":"20260216T122245", "datetime_start":"20260217T120000", "datetime_end":"20260217T130000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-02-17", "date_end":"2026-02-17", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"13:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Financial Wellness at Any Career Stage: Smart Moves for Today\u2019s Economy", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Financial Wellness at Any Career Stage: Smart Moves for Today\u2019s Economy: Ciara Merriman, \u201898", "event_subtitle":"Ciara Merriman, \u201898", "event_type":"Livestream \/ Virtual", "event_type_id":"24", "description":"In today\u2019s rapidly changing global and economic environment, financial preparedness is both more important and more confusing than ever.
