On September 14, 2015, the LIGO detectors in Hanford, Washington, and Livingston, Louisiana in the US registered for the first time ever a loud gravitational wave signal traveling through Earth, created more than a billion years ago by the merger of two black holes. A spectacular signal was detected by LIGO and the Virgo detector in Europe in 2017, produced by the collision of two neutron stars, giving birth to a black hole, generating also electromagnetic waves (light!) detected by many telescopes and helping us understand the origin of gold. In only a few years from the first detection, there are now hundreds of new signals from mergers of black holes and\/or neutron stars - this is the era of gravitational wave astronomy. We will describe the history and details of the observations, and the gravity-bright future of the field.\r\n\r\nEach fall, the University of Michigan Physics Department hosts the Ta-You Wu Lecture, one of the most prestigious lecture events in the Department.

These were both, critically, moral and not necessarily political narratives that resided in a seemingly overwhelming feeling that the nation was on a perverse path toward its annihilation. According to these narratives of perversion, Armenia was missing proper Father figures both as national leadership as well as within households, leading the nation on deviant and improper paths toward becoming something other than Armenia. She locates what the politics of \"No! as forms of aesthetic and stylistic refusal of these daddy politics, drawing on examples from grass roots initiatives aimed at democratic and not necessarily moral futures, and argues that rather than mourning these perverse presents lingering on the nation's survival, we might locate in them queer futures toward liberation.\r\n \r\nTamar R. Shirinian is a cultural anthropologist whose work explores themes of gender, sexuality, and political economy and especially their interconnectedness in the postsocialist world, focused particularly on the Republic of Armenia. Tamar's first book, *Survival of a Perverse Nation: Morality and Queer Possibility in Armenia*, which explores homosexual panic and its ties to post-Soviet crises in social reproduction, was published by Duke University Press in 2024 nd won the 2025 Ruth Benedict Award for Outstanding Monograph from the Association for Queer Anthropology. She is currently working on a second book manuscript, tentatively entitled *Yakhq and Other Feminisms from the Post-Second World*, which investigates post-Soviet ideologies and practices of feminism as well as their tensions with one another. Tamar was the co-editor of the 2018 Armenian Review special issue entitled *Queering Armenian Studies* is the editor of the forthcoming volume *Toward a Political Economy of Intimate Life: Social Reproduction Revisited* (Emerald, 2026), is working on a co-edited volume entitled *It is Possible to Cry for the Whole World: Reflections on Armenian Feminist Solidarities* (Wayne State University Press), and has published numerous articles in journals such as *Feminist Formations*, *American Ethnologist*, *Gender & Society*, *PoLAR: Political and Legal Anthropology Review*, and *Anthropology and *Humanism** amongst others. Additionally, she is the co-editor of the \"Third Space\" section of the *Journal of Middle East Women's Studies*, a member of the 61 Collective in Armenia, and the co-host of the *Other Armenias Podcast* (available on YouTube and Spotify).\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\nAccommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us.

Most strikingly, the proven single-molecule longread sequencing technologies have delivered the complete, gapless T2T human genome reference in recent years, while significant reductions in costs associated with the production of high-output, highly accurate shortread data in recent months is expected to accelerate the scale and resolution of single-cell, single-molecule, multi-omics analyses. All together, these technology innovations have placed us at the beginning of an exciting era when the knowledge of human genomes can be realized at populational scale to address the unmet needs in human diseases and precision medicine.\r\n\r\nAt the Northwest Genomics Center (NWGC), we have pioneered a suite of state-of-the-art genomic technologies ranging from long-read sequencing, single-cell multiomics, 3D chromatin organization survey, and spatial omics. Together with advances in data science aimed at systematically characterizing the functional consequences of disease-associated genetic variation, we have applied these approaches to facilitate multiple NIH precision medicine initiatives, including rare disease studies in GREGoR, genomic somatic variation analysis in SMaHT, and population-based genomic characterization in the All of Us Research Program. Our efforts have catalyzed research into the mechanistic underpinnings of health and disease. I will present how these technologies unlock the genetic alterations affected Mendelian conditions and derive mechanistic insights into how pathogenic variants induce 3D chromatin changes in oncogenic transformation.\r\n\r\n\r\nShort Bio\r\n\r\nChia-Lin Wei, PhD, focuses her research on the mammalian genome, which is extensively folded to form complex three-dimensional (3D) chromatin organization to facilitate functional interactions. These 3D structures and functional interactions are dynamic. Understanding these complex functional interactions and their variations will not only advance fundamental biological knowledge but also provide novel insights into human disease that could lead to new treatment paradigms.\r\n\r\nDr. Wei's research specifically concentrates on the development and application of advanced genomic technologies to decipher genome structures, their 3D organizations, and how they modulate molecular phenotypes and complex traits. Her lab pioneered pair-end-tag (PET) sequencing strategies to advance the understanding of genome variation and transcription regulation in shaping cellular behavior.\r\n\r\nIn recent years, the lab developed a suite of approaches including ChIA-PET, ChIA-Drop, and ChIATAC to map 3D chromatin conformation. These methods have transformed the understanding of how noncoding elements regulate transcription during development and disease states. Dr. Wei and her team further improved these assays to derive single-cell and single-molecule resolution for studying complex genome structural variation, specifically, the extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) function in cancer. In addition, as one of the pioneers in establishing long-read technologies, Dr. Wei leverages advances in single-molecule, long-read sequencing methods to better identify complex structural variants of ecDNA, their evolution, and impacts on ecDNA functions", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"140000-21886477@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/140000", "building_id":"1005047", "building_name":"Palmer Commons", "campus_maps_id":"188", "room":"Great Lakes North", "location_name":"Palmer Commons", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Basic Science","Bioinformatics","Biosciences"], "website":"https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/93929606089?pwd=SHh6R1FOQm8xMThRemdxTEFMWWpVdz09", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics DCMB", "group_id":"5384", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"DCMB Seminar Series", "group_id":"3754", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "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":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21886477 } , "137960-21882332": { "datetime_modified":"20251023T123137", "datetime_start":"20251008T160000", "datetime_end":"20251008T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-10-08", "date_end":"2025-10-08", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"FBI Resource Planning Office Information Session", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"FBI Resource Planning Office Information Session", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Careers \/ Jobs", "event_type_id":"2", "description":"This information session will provide students with an opportunity to learn more about the Federal Bureau of Investigation\u2019s (FBI) Resource Planning Office (RPO).
