A village where women, children, and elderly reside. Men leave nine months of the year for Russia to work. Summer, a slow and friendly atmosphere; women do the hay, cut the grass, and store for the winter. Fruits are canned to be eaten during the cold winter. The sun arouses certain laziness, a sensual relaxation. Autumn, with its different shades of red, is the season of birth and potato harvest. Women and men find intimacy in the coldness of winter, hence, women give birth in October and November. Fathers meet their children in December. Preparations start early to welcome men. Waiting is long and tiring.

Winter is near, a form of suspense sets in: whose husband will come first? The men arrive with the snow. The women are shy, they need time to exist in the presence of men. The children are happy to be close to their fathers. Spring sets in, the atmosphere becomes tense. Men depart for the land of tsars. She is weak and sad but needs to find the strength to take care of the children.

Results or Roses: New and Assorted Works is a virtual exhibition by artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp and part of the Institute for the Humanities' Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded "High Stakes Art" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that, as she explains, "forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual."

Thanks to the grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, we supported Sharp's work on Results and Roses during the summer of 2020, but due to COVID-19 were forced to postpone the pop-up exhibition also scheduled for summer 2020. This fall we installed Results and Roses as a pop-up exhibition in the Osterman Common Room. Due to building security, it's not open to the general public, but we are thrilled to present the work online as a virtual exhibition.

Cognitive Science Seminar: What we would (but shouldn’t) do for those we love: Universalism and partiality in “punish or protect” dilemmas (November 30, 2020 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/77908 77908-19941574@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, November 30, 2020 2:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science

Laura Soter, U-M Department of Philosophy, will give a talk titled "What we would (but shouldn’t) do for those we love: Universalism and partiality in 'punish or protect' dilemmas."

ABSTRACT
After a long history of focusing primarily on judgments about anonymous strangers, moral psychologists have increasingly begun to study how social relationships influence people’s moral judgments. Weidman et al. (2020), for instance, found that in “punish or protect” dilemmas, people are more likely to say they would lie to protect a close other (vs. a distant other) who commits a crime, particularly when the transgression is severe. But do people believe it is morally right to behave this way? On the one hand, impartiality and universalism are key tenets in all three major philosophical ethical theories. On the other, there are philosophers who argue in favor of moral partiality, and there is increasing empirical evidence that social relationships matter for moral evaluations. In the context of Weidman et al.’s “punish or protect” dilemmas, these considerations deliver two competing hypotheses: either people think it is right to preferentially protect close others, suggesting that people believe moral norms are importantly sensitive to context; or people think they should treat close and distant others equally, revealing an inconsistency between judgments of what is right and how they would behave in the context of close relationships. I will present a series of studies that adjudicate between these hypotheses by exploring the relationship between what people think they would and should do in “punish or protect” dilemmas.

CSCS Seminar | Developing a systematic approach to modulate the emergence of consciousness from pharmacologically-and pathologically induced unconsciousness (December 1, 2020 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/76220 76220-19677552@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, December 1, 2020 11:30am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: The Center for the Study of Complex Systems

ZOOM MEETING LINK: myumi.ch/v2ZYv

Re-scheduled from earlier this fall.

ABSTRACT:
Why is it so difficult to develop a systematic approach to modulate the recovery of consciousness from pharmacologically and pathologically induced unconsciousness? Three things are required to develop a systematic approach; a reliable neural activity that corresponds to consciousness, a reliable brain stimulation to induce the target neural activity, and a mechanism to guarantee the induced neural activity results in consciousness. However, no single neural activity or a mechanism has been identified yet as a neural correlate of consciousness, suggesting that consciousness might emerge through complex interactions of spatially and temporally distributed brain functions. Accumulating evidence from computational model and empirical studies suggest that brain criticality – a balanced state between order and disorder, stability and instability, incoherent and synchronized connectivity at a global network level, is a necessary condition for the emergence of consciousness. Thus, in our research project, we hypothesized that with modulating brain network criticality, we may be able to control the state transition during the loss and recovery of consciousness in general anesthesia and coma. In this talk, I will introduce our current project that aims to develop a systematic method to precisely evaluate a brain state in altered states of consciousness and to control the emergence from unconsciousness, which is based on highly advanced methods in physics, network science, and neurobiology of consciousness.

Please join us 15 minutes before and after the seminar for a social coffee hangout. Put your speakers and video on and say hi to old friends or go to the 'lounge' and chat with an acquaintance

Frankel Institute Event Series: Stranger Still: Translating Contemporary Poetry from Israel/Palestine (December 1, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79038 79038-20178454@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, December 1, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Judaic Studies

This series showcases the diversity of poetic voices from Israel/Palestine through the lens of translation. Each event features a multilingual poetry reading and a conversation between poets and translators on the careful negotiations that are involved in the act of translation, highlighting work that creates its own currents against and beyond the Israeli mainstream.

Vaan Nguyen has been described as “a veritable juggler of Hebrew.” Born in 1982 in Israel to refugees of the Vietnam War, Nguyen’s poems travel far and wide, taking in views of Hanoi, Manhattan, Paris, Milan, Salzburg, Pasadena and more. Through these movements, Nguyen reflects on how our lives take shape in the daily migrations we make between lovers, family, work, and the places we call home. She is the author of the poetry collections *The Truffle Eye* (Ma’ayan Press, 2013) and Vain Ratio (Barchash, 2018). In addition to poetry, she has worked as an actress, journalist, and social activist. She currently lives in Jaffa and is writing her first novel.

Adriana X. Jacobs is this year’s Co-head Fellow at the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies and Associate Professor of Modern Hebrew Literature at the University of Oxford. She is the author of *Strange Cocktail: Translation and the Making of Modern Hebrew Poetry* (University of Michigan Press, 2018). Her translations have appeared in various print and online journals, including *Gulf Coast*, *Seedings*, *World Literature Today*, *Poetry International*, and *The Ilanot Review*. Her translation into English of Vaan Nguyen’s *The Truffle Eye* will be published by Zephyr Press in early 2021.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

The Fall 2020 lecture series will be only available on-line as a Zoom webinar.

Using market-frictions based logic, Dr. Wu and his co-author/researcher on this project, develop an analytical model that examines how online platforms can govern opportunistic behavior of offline service providers in China, thus allowing market forces to promote the general welfare. Their work sheds new light on how platform design can help reduce market frictions in economic exchanges and potentially shape the evolution of industries.

Xun (Brian) Wu is an Associate Professor of Strategy (with tenure), Michael R. and Mary Kay Hallman Fellow, and faculty director of China Initiatives at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. He received his BS from Tsinghua University in China, MSc from National University of Singapore, and PhD from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

His research examines the dynamics of corporate scope and the evolution of industries. His research has been published or is forthcoming in top scholarly journals including "Management Science," "Organization Science," and "Strategic Management Journal." He serves as an Associate Editor for "Strategic Management Journal."

A village where women, children, and elderly reside. Men leave nine months of the year for Russia to work. Summer, a slow and friendly atmosphere; women do the hay, cut the grass, and store for the winter. Fruits are canned to be eaten during the cold winter. The sun arouses certain laziness, a sensual relaxation. Autumn, with its different shades of red, is the season of birth and potato harvest. Women and men find intimacy in the coldness of winter, hence, women give birth in October and November. Fathers meet their children in December. Preparations start early to welcome men. Waiting is long and tiring.

Winter is near, a form of suspense sets in: whose husband will come first? The men arrive with the snow. The women are shy, they need time to exist in the presence of men. The children are happy to be close to their fathers. Spring sets in, the atmosphere becomes tense. Men depart for the land of tsars. She is weak and sad but needs to find the strength to take care of the children.

Results or Roses: New and Assorted Works is a virtual exhibition by artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp and part of the Institute for the Humanities' Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded "High Stakes Art" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that, as she explains, "forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual."

Thanks to the grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, we supported Sharp's work on Results and Roses during the summer of 2020, but due to COVID-19 were forced to postpone the pop-up exhibition also scheduled for summer 2020. This fall we installed Results and Roses as a pop-up exhibition in the Osterman Common Room. Due to building security, it's not open to the general public, but we are thrilled to present the work online as a virtual exhibition.

ISR Insights Speaker Series is a series focusing on the research happening at ISR.

Jason Owen-Smith (Executive Director, Institute for Research on Innovation & Science (IRIS); Executive Director, Research Analytics; Professor of Sociology, University of Michigan; Research Professor, Institute for Social Research)

Wednesday, December 2 at 2pm EST: https://umich.zoom.us/j/91211224326

America's most research intensive universities represent about 3% of higher education institutions, but they conduct 90% of the nation's academic research. Drawing on his recent book, Research Universities and the Public Good: Discovery for an Uncertain Future and the work of ISR's Institute for Research on Innovation & Science (IRIS), which he directs, Jason Owen-Smith will explain how these unique and essential organizations serve as an important form of "social insurance" in the face of an uncertain future. Universities like U of M are uniquely able to address "unknown unknowns," problems and opportunities we do not know we have yet. No other sector or type of organization accomplishes is equipped to serve this purpose in our society. COVID-19 puts special pressures on the academic research mission that come after more than a decade of declining public support. The pandemic and its effects jeopardize the US Academic Research Enterprise (US-ARE) and with it the future health, wealth, and well-being of our nation and the world. Drawing on unique data science resources developed at IRIS, and 20 years of work on the economic and social value of research and innovation, Owen-Smith highlights the challenges and explains how they might be addressed by federal and state policy-makers, the leaders and faculty of institutions like ours.

Abstract:
The potential to use fusion as a carbon-free, fuel-abundant energy source to meet the world’s growing energy demands has motivated significant US and international research. One research path to realize fusion energy involves tokamaks that magnetically confine hot plasmas in the shape of a torus. Almost every tokamak fusion reactor in the world relies on magnetic induction from a central solenoid to drive the current necessary to create a fusion grade plasma. Minimizing or eliminating the need for a central solenoid in a tokamak would greatly simplify the construction and reduce the cost of these devices, increasing their viability for commercial energy production. Solenoid-free startup techniques such as helicity injection (HI) and radiofrequency (RF) wave injection offer the potential of reducing the technical requirements of, or possibly the need for, a central solenoid. A major upgrade is underway for the spherical tokamak, Pegasus-III at the U of Wisconsin. The new facility will be a dedicated US platform to study innovations in plasma startup techniques, allowing for studies of both HI and RF during plasma initiation, ramp-up and sustainment. Experimental plans for RF heating and current drive in the microwave regime will be presented. The new capabilities of Pegasus-III will provide a bold test of the viability of a non-solenoidal compact tokamak using reactor relevant techniques.

About the Speaker:
Prof. Diem’s research interests are in experimental plasma physics for fusion energy development with emphasis on validating numerical models with experimental data. She focuses on utilizing radio frequency (RF) waves to heat and drive current in magnetically confined plasmas. Prof. Diem’s current research is focused on electron Bernstein wave and electron cyclotron heating and current drive experiments on Pegasus-III at UW-Madison as well as collaborations domestically and internationally on RF injection in magnetically confined fusion plasmas. Prof. Diem received her PhD in Plasma Physics from Princeton U. where she developed diagnostics to study electron Bernstein wave emission and mode conversion on the National Spherical Tokamak at the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab. She received a BS in Nuclear Engineering & Engineering Physics from UW-Madison. Prior to joining the faculty at UW-Madison, Prof. Diem was a Research and Development Staff Scientist in the Fusion Energy Division at Oak Ridge National Lab. and was on long-term assignment at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility at General Atomics in San Diego, CA.

ABSTRACT: The brain is made of networks of neurons that send information to each other via spikes. Sleep and wake are the most clearly definable brain states and each exerts unique effects upon neural network spiking activity. We used large-scale recordings in the frontal cortex of mice and rats to examine the activity of neurons during wake/sleep cycles and found that a novel form of homeostatic action is taken by sleep: homogenization of firing rates. Whereas it was previously believed that sleep simple decreased firing rates, we found that this was much more true of the most active neurons only, thereby reducing the variance of the population.

To extend this observation of homeostatic forced during sleep we also examine how sleep and wake states interact with learning and performance, which is also facilitated by sleep. We have therefore begun to record before, during and after learning sessions to determine how learning interacts with the usual homeostatic effects of sleep. Further we can also record how waking changes in brain states such as motivation and attention modulate firing and information processing by neurons during behavior itself.

Finally, our end-goal to translate these kinds of basic neurobiologic observations in healthy rodents to states of stress or treatments of stress. Unfortunately the chronic stress states of relevance to psychiatric disease do not last seconds but days and weeks. We have therefore begun to build new long-term recording environments to enable future experiments over these time-spans.

BIOGRAPHY:
Dr. Watson is an assistant professor in psychiatry at the University of Michigan. He grew up in Ann Arbor and then obtained his BA from Cornell University and his M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from Columbia University. During his Ph.D. he used two-photon microscopy to study the behavior of neurons in local cortical microcircuits. During his doctoral work he also participated in technical development of multi-beam two photon imaging techniques. Upon graduation from medical school, Dr. Watson pursued a residency in Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College as well postdoctoral work at New York University. He received the National Institute for Mental Health’s Outstanding Resident Award, the American Psychiatric Association’s Lilly Research Fellowship and the Leon Levy Neuroscience Fellowship. He did a fellowship with Dr. Gyorgy Buzsaki at NYU to record ongoing activity in naturally behaving and sleeping animals wherein he showed that sleep reorganizes neuronal firing architecture in the neocortex in previously unknown ways. He is now combining his electrical recordings with behavioral tools to deepen his understanding of both use and regulation of cortical brain circuits.

Alexandra Lee and Amanda Kuo

Using dance, drag, drama, and documentary elements, A Beautiful Country chronicles 150 years of Asian-American immigration history. Miss Visa Denied, a transgender drag queen and performer, is the narrator who guides the audience through the turbulent history of Chinese, Filipino, and Japanese people coming to America. Heartfelt testimonials and the dramatization of some highly vibrant and egregious pieces of propaganda showcase the provocative events that have shaped this history. Addressing issues of race, gender, and appropriation, this play examines the fundamental questions surrounding the immigrant experience, including what it

Results or Roses: New and Assorted Works is a virtual exhibition by artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp and part of the Institute for the Humanities' Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded "High Stakes Art" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that, as she explains, "forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual."

Thanks to the grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, we supported Sharp's work on Results and Roses during the summer of 2020, but due to COVID-19 were forced to postpone the pop-up exhibition also scheduled for summer 2020. This fall we installed Results and Roses as a pop-up exhibition in the Osterman Common Room. Due to building security, it's not open to the general public, but we are thrilled to present the work online as a virtual exhibition.

Raqs Media Collective in Conversation with Gunalan Nadarajan, Dean, Stamps School of Art & Design
Co-presented with Expo Chicago

December 3, 2020 - 11am EST/10am CST/ 7.30pm IST

Following the world premiere of two new videos commissioned by Stamps Gallery, twentyfourbyseven*(6 mins , video, calligraphy, text, animation), 2020 and Why do they call the answer to a question, a solution?*(12 mins, video, spoken word), 2020, Raqs Media Collective reflect on the process of creating The Pandemic Circle after the predicament of quarantine and seclusion caused by the Covid-19 pandemic gripped contemporary life across the globe. The Pandemic Circle includes 31 Days(18 minutes, video, calligraphy, text), 2020, the first video in the series that was released in the summer of 2020. 

The renowned collective will be in conversation with Gunalan Nadarajan, curator and Dean of Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.

Description of NEW Films in the Pandemic Circle  

twentyfourbyseven(6 mins , video, calligraphy, text, animation), 2020

Walking a tightrope between knowing and feeling in elongated pandemic days and nights. There is an awareness of the awareness of how the nervous system responds to the nervousness of this time. There is now the out-of-body sensation of looking back on each moment as it passes, twentyfourbyseven.

Why do they call the answer to a question, a solution?(12 mins, video, spoken word), 2020

The third video in this Pandemic Circle turns into an enquiry into the very form of thinking. It moves between lesions, joys, epiphanies, and terror. The image and voice rewire spaces left unattended by various 20th century impasses. The film reflects on exhaustion and inventiveness, love and dignity, deep pasts and faint futures, and the ruptures that modulate the share of “overcoming” and “overturning” in our individual selves, and collective life. The video enters troubled waters to search for news way to look at horizons.

Collection and Analysis of Driving Videos based on Traffic Participants (December 3, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79591 79591-20428440@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, December 3, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Robotics

Autonomous vehicle (AV) prototypes have been deployed in increasingly varied environments in recent years. An AV must be able to reliably detect and predict the future motion of traffic participants to maintain safe operation based on data collected from high-quality onboard sensors. Sensors such as camera and LiDAR generate high-bandwidth data that requires substantial computational and memory resources. To address these AV challenges, this thesis investigates three related problems: 1) What will the observed traffic participants do? 2) Is an anomalous traffic event likely to happen in near future? and 3) How should we collect fleet-wide high-bandwidth data based on 1) and 2) over the long-term?

The first problem is addressed with future traffic trajectory and pedestrian behavior prediction.We propose a future object localization (FOL) method for trajectory prediction in first person videos (FPV). FOL encodes heterogeneous observations including bounding boxes, optical flow features and ego camera motions with multi-stream recurrent neural networks (RNN) to predict future trajectories. We then introduce BiTraP, a goal-conditioned bidirectional multi-modal trajectory prediction method. BiTraP estimates multi-modal trajectories and uses novel bi-directional decoder and loss to improve longer-term trajectory prediction accuracy. We show that different choices of non-parametric versus parametric target models directly influence predicted multi-modal trajectory distributions. Experiments with two FPV and six bird's-eye view (BEV) datasets show the effectiveness of our methods compared to state-of-the-art. We define pedestrian behavior prediction as a combination of action and intent. We hypothesize that current and future actions are strong intent priors and propose a multi-task leaning RNN encoder-decoder network to detect and predict future pedestrian actions and street crossing intent. Experimental results show that one task helps the other so they together achieve state-of-the-art performance on published datasets.

To identify likely traffic anomaly events, we propose to predict locations of traffic participants over a near-term future horizon and monitor accuracy and consistency of these predictions as evidence of an anomaly. Inconsistent predictions tend to indicate an anomaly has or is about to occur. A supervised video action recognition method can then be applied to classify detected anomalies. We introduce a spatial-temporal area under curve (STAUC) metric as a supplement to the existing area under curve (AUC) evaluation and show it captures how well a model detects both temporal and spatial locations of anomalous events. Experimental results show the proposed method and consistency-based anomaly score are more robust to moving cameras than image generation based methods; our method achieves state-of-the-art performance over AUC and STAUC metrics.

Video anomaly detection (VAD) and action recognition support event-of-interest (EOI) distinction from normal driving data. We introduce a Smart Black Box (SBB), an intelligent event data recorder, to prioritize EOI data in long-term driving. The SBB compresses high-bandwidth data based on EOI potential and on-board storage limits. The SBB is designed to prioritize newer and anomalous driving data and discard older and normal data. An optimal compression factor is selected based on the trade-off between data value and storage cost.Experiments in a traffic simulator and with real-world datasets show the efficiency and effectiveness of using a SBB to collect high-quality videos in long-term driving.

*“Understanding Trade-offs in Biological Error Correction”*

Join us on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/96475935279

Abstract: High accuracy of major biological processes relies on the ability of the participating enzymatic molecules to preferentially select the correct substrate from a pool of chemically similar substrates by activating the so-called proofreading mechanisms. While the importance of such mechanisms is widely accepted, it is still unclear how evolution has optimized the biological systems with respect to their characteristic properties. We developed a comprehensive first-passage theoretical framework that allowed us to quantitatively investigate the trade-offs between four properties of enzymatic systems namely, error, speed, noise and energy dissipation. Within this framework, we simultaneously analyzed speed and accuracy of several fundamental biological processes, including DNA replication, tRNA charging, and tRNA selection during the translation. The results indicate that contrary to typical assumptions speed-accuracy trade-off is not always observed. However, when the trade-off is present, the biological systems tend to optimize the speed rather than the accuracy of the processes, as long as the error level is tolerable. When systems function in the regime where no speed-accuracy trade-off is observed, constraints due to energy dissipation in the proofreading play a key role. Our theory demonstrates a universal Pareto front in error-dissipation trade-off and shows how naturally selected kinetic parameters position their system close to this boundary. Our findings, therefore, provide a new system-level picture of how complex biological processes are able to function so fast with a high accuracy and low dissipation.

Have we been making the environment worse while knowing more about how it works? Since the nineteenth century, the rapid advancement of technologies has led to an increasingly sophisticated knowledge of the natural world. Science has helped explain the vast array of environmental processes. However, we, the human species, have also become the frontal force of worsening conditions of the natural environment. In order to call for a reflection on our ecological culture, this talk examines the history of drought from an area in eastern mainland Southeast Asia, the core of what would later become modern Vietnam. It shows, on the one hand, why drought would stir up the most pressing social and political crises in the premodern period. On the other hand, it explores the historical context that helped consolidate the premodern Vietnamese people’s resilience to drought. Most importantly, this history uncovers a sustained ecological culture which compellingly asks us to rethink the way we have bonded with nature.

Hieu Phung (PhD, University of Hawaii) is a historian of premodern Vietnam and Southeast Asia. She is currently a visiting scholar at the Ohio State University, and she will be teaching for both the University of Michigan and the University of Hawaii in the Fall of 2020. Before coming to the United States, she taught at Vietnam National University-Hanoi and carried out extensive archival research at the Institute of Hán-Nôm Studies. Her research focuses on the relationship between the environment and state building, with a particular interest in the historical agency of water and climate in stimulating social and political change. In pursuing environmental history, she makes extensive use of traditional maps and texts that reveal the production of geographical knowledge. She is working on a book project entitled The Realization of a Water Space: An Environmental History of Late Medieval Vietnam, using documents written in both classical Chinese and the demotic Vietnamese Nôm script. Her recent article, “Naming the Red River - Becoming a Vietnamese river,” will be published by the Journal of Southeast Asian Studies this December.

Join us for a virtual working group on tenants' rights and evictions in Detroit.

For neighborhood leaders and other Detroit residents, this working group will be a chance to share your experiences related to renting in Detroit and weigh in on Poverty Solutions' housing-related research.

For practitioners, this working group will be a chance to network with representatives from other local organizations engaged in similar work and learn about residents' experiences with the rental market.

Researchers from Poverty Solutions at the University of Michigan will share their latest work on housing and eviction issues in Detroit and ask for input on the types of research and community education tools you would find helpful to drive change.

This working group will kick off Poverty Solutions' new community experts initiative, which aims to deepen our commitment to engaging Detroit residents and leaders in our action-based research. We will convene community leaders with both lived and professional experience confronting poverty to share insights and resources and generate innovative ideas for action.

Interdisciplinary Seminar in Social Science Methodology (I3SM) (December 4, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/76393 76393-19711166@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 4, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Political Science

The primary function of this workshop is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for students and faculty to present their current projects and to receive feedback on either the methodological component of their project or a methodology under development. Presenters can also present new research questions and ideas and receive ideas about which methodologies would work best to tackle such questions. We define methodology broadly as the approaches to which data is collected and/or organized to give empirical content to social science research. It includes both qualitative and quantitative methodologies.

LEAD: Decentering Whiteness in the Academy (December 4, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79481 79481-20337589@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 4, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

This LEAD conversation will address how administrators, faculty, and staff can decenter whiteness at an institutional level and create a sense of belonging for all. The racial inequities exposed by COVID-19 paired with a national uprising against systemic racism has led colleges and universities nationwide to prioritize anti-racist teaching. While these efforts are appreciated and long overdue, higher education institutions need to continue to examine how their policies and pedagogies have perpetuated racism and inequities and prohibited an inclusive learning environment for marginalized students. How can we demonstrate that actions to dismantle differential advantages—such as diversifying the curriculum, implementing holistic admissions practices, and recruiting and promoting people of color—are best for higher education institutions overall?

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Linguistics

Linguistics professor Sarah Thomason will give a talk on "Deliberate Change vs. Language Families." The question she'll be asking is this: Can linguistic changes made intentionally cause problems for efforts to establish genetic relationships among languages? (The answer is yes, but rarely.)

HistLing is devoted to discussions of language change. Group members include interested faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates from a wide variety of U-M departments -- Linguistics, Anthropology, Asian Languages and Cultures, Classics, Germanic Languages, Near Eastern Studies, Romance Languages, Slavic Languages - and from two nearby universities, Eastern Michigan (Ypsilanti) and Wayne State (Detroit).

Organized By: Interdisciplinary Workshop in American Politics

The Interdisciplinary Workshop on American Politics (IWAP) is a forum for the presentation of ongoing interdisciplinary research in American politics. Most of our presentations are given by graduate students. Each graduate student presenter is assigned a faculty and student discussant. IWAP circulates the work beforehand and the student presents it briefly at the start of the meeting. After discussant feedback, the bulk of the time is reserved for group discussion among all workshop participants. This format leads to informal yet highly interactive and productive conversations.

Amy Cutler: Telling Stories (December 4, 2020 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/77328 77328-19840083@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 4, 2020 8:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Amy Cutler is an internationally acclaimed artist best known for her enigmatic depictions of women performing strange, cryptic tasks: carrying goats on their backs in Above the Fjord, sewing tigers in Tiger Mending, dancing with chairs on their heads in Dinner Party. Rendered simply, though with exquisite detail, Cutler’s style is reminiscent of European folk art; however, the narratives are left unexplained and the white backgrounds of her drawings provide little context or clues to the meanings. The fantasy world she creates is sometimes humorous and other times ominous.

Cutler is known for exquisitely detailed narrative works of art created through a pastiche of personal memories, political observations, and cultural insights. One-person exhibitions of works by the artist have taken place at SITE Santa Fe; the Indianapolis Museum of Art; the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid; the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia; the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City; the Weatherspoon Art Museum, Greensboro, North Carolina; and many other galleries and museums in the U.S. and Europe.

Works by Amy Cutler are featured in distinguished private and public collections, including, among others, The Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, the Morgan Library and Museum, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

In conjunction with the Toledo Museum of Art’s exhibition, Telling Stories: Resilience and Struggle in Contemporary Narrative Drawing, on view from November 21, 2020 - February 14, 2021.

Department of Musical Theatre

3 unique performances on three nights.

In theatre tradition, a ghostlight—usually a single bulb—remains on an empty stage when a theatre goes dark, to appease the spirits. Faced with the near impossibility of putting on a fully-staged production during a pandemic, the Department of Musical Theatre has chosen to provide a new kind of ghostlight: an online-only revue of the best that the department has to offer.

This faculty-led, student-driven production will feature songs, skits, and dances directed, choreographed, performed, and in some cases written by students from across the Department Musical Theatre. From classics of musical theatre to pop, folk, and jazz, this revue has it all.

Results or Roses: New and Assorted Works is a virtual exhibition by artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp and part of the Institute for the Humanities' Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded "High Stakes Art" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that, as she explains, "forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual."

Thanks to the grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, we supported Sharp's work on Results and Roses during the summer of 2020, but due to COVID-19 were forced to postpone the pop-up exhibition also scheduled for summer 2020. This fall we installed Results and Roses as a pop-up exhibition in the Osterman Common Room. Due to building security, it's not open to the general public, but we are thrilled to present the work online as a virtual exhibition.

Results or Roses: New and Assorted Works is a virtual exhibition by artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp and part of the Institute for the Humanities' Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded "High Stakes Art" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that, as she explains, "forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual."

Thanks to the grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, we supported Sharp's work on Results and Roses during the summer of 2020, but due to COVID-19 were forced to postpone the pop-up exhibition also scheduled for summer 2020. This fall we installed Results and Roses as a pop-up exhibition in the Osterman Common Room. Due to building security, it's not open to the general public, but we are thrilled to present the work online as a virtual exhibition.

Cognitive Science Seminar: "Cognitive Tools for Learning and Communication" (virtual) (December 7, 2020 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/76965 76965-19782527@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, December 7, 2020 2:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science

Dr. Judith Fan, Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology, UC San Diego, will give a talk titled "Cognitive Tools for Learning and Communication."

ABSTRACT

How does the human mind transform a cascade of sensory information into meaningful knowledge? While traditional approaches to learning focus on how people process the data provided to them by the world, this approach leaves aside all of the powerful tools people have to actively reformat their experiences and generate new ones. For example, we choose what to look at, bring certain memories to mind, produce pictures to share, and compose stories to tell. The goal of our lab’s research is to “reverse engineer” the core mechanisms by which employing such cognitive tools enable humans to learn and communicate more effectively. Our recent work focuses on visual communication, one of our most basic and versatile tools, because it also represents a key challenge for understanding how multiple cognitive systems interact to support complex, natural behaviors. This talk will highlight our recent progress, as well as open research questions in this domain.

Given the urgency of our times to promote social justice, Jay Crisostomo (MES, UM), Kristina Richardson (History, CUNY), and Bryan Roby (Judaic Studies, UM) will reflect on their experience of systemic racism, sexism, and homophobia in Middle East Studies. Much critique has been voiced by Ethnic Studies and Gender & Women’s Studies programs about structural inequalities in the academy, yet we have remained silent about the peculiar forms of discrimination that inhabit ME Studies. How can we raise awareness and practice social justice in our teaching, research, and professional activities? Join us for a conversation on intolerance in the field of Middle East Studies.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

The Fall 2020 lecture series will be only available on-line as a Zoom webinar. Registration link below.

The PRC’s post-1978 court bureaucracy is assumed to be the cat’s paw of an all-encompassing and authoritarian system of social control—lacking everything from political independence to the technical competence required to play a robust role in contemporary China’s increasingly complex economic system and contentious civil society. This easy appraisal of the function and performance of the People’s Courts at all levels in contemporary China is not accurate now, if it ever was, and ignores concurrent developments in the surrounding political legal system, including the application of a new generation of substantive and procedural laws and regulations, the rise of a private bar intent on pushing the boundaries of professional autonomy, the increased (legal) sophistication and autonomy of PRC judicial officials, and the expansion of the public law and administrative law spheres. Professor Howson will review what the PRC People’s Courts have become in the civil, criminal and administrative law spheres over the past 40 years along three distinct lines of inquiry – (technical) competence, (bureaucratic) autonomy, and (political) independence, and make an argument as to how this key institution may shape the future of China’s “Socialist Legality” and the national governance system.

Nicholas Howson is the Pao Li Tsiang Chair Professor of Law at the Michigan Law School. A specialist in Chinese law and legal institutions and developing Chinese jurisprudence, he is a former partner of the New York based international law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, where he was a managing partner of that firm’s Asia Practice based in Beijing. Starting in the late 1970s, he has spent more than a decade as a student, scholar, and practicing lawyer resident in Beijing and Shanghai, has been active in the Chinese courts and US and international judicial fora as both an advocate and expert witness on Chinese law, and since the late 1990s has advised the National People’s Congress and PRC ministries on the drafting and amendment of key Reform era statutes and administrative regulations, including the 1999 PRC Securities Law, the 2006 PRC Company Law and the 2020 PRC Securities Law.

Control Allocation of Flexible Aircraft for Load Alleviation (December 8, 2020 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79628 79628-20486026@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, December 8, 2020 2:30pm

Organized By: Aerospace Engineering

As wing designs aim for higher aerodynamic efficiency, the underlying aircraft structure becomes more flexible, requiring additional features to alleviate the loads encountered from gusts and maneuvers. While alleviating loads, it is desirable to minimize the deviations from the original flight trajectory.

In this work, a dynamic control allocation method which exploits redundant control effectors for maneuver and gust load alleviation is proposed for flexible aircraft. The control architecture decouples the two objectives of load alleviation and rigid body trajectory tracking by exploiting the null space between the input and the rigid body output. A reduced-dimensional null space input is established, which affects the flexible output (but not the rigid body output) when passed through a null space filter to generate incremental control signals. This null space input is determined to maintain the flexible output of the aircraft within specified values, thereby achieving load alleviation.

A receding horizon approach to generate the trajectory of the null space input is developed based on linear aircraft models. This receding horizon approach then informs a model predictive control-based control allocator function which can be used as an add-on scheme to a nominal controller. Numerical simulations are used to show that the proposed load alleviation system can successfully avoid the violation of load bounds in the presence of both gust disturbances and maneuvers and with minimal effect on the trajectory tracking performance.

Learning objectives:

1. Discuss the conceptual distinction and clinical utility of self-reported race/ethnicity and genetic ancestry in childhood asthma.
2. Discuss the role of genetic ancestry and socio-environmental exposures in childhood asthma.
3. Discuss ancestry-specific polygenic risk scores, precision medicine and childhood asthma disparities.

Short bio: Dr. Mersha is currently an Associate Professor in the Division of Asthma Research and leads the Population Genetics, Ancestry, and Bioinformatics (pGAB) Laboratory (https://research.cchmc.org/mershalab/Home.php).
Dr. Mersha’s research combines quantitative, ancestry and statistical genomics to unravel genetic and non-genetic contributions to complex diseases and racial disparities in human populations, particularly asthma and asthma-related allergic disorders. Much of his research is at the interface of genetic ancestry, statistics, bioinformatics, and functional genomics, and he is interested in cross-line disciplines to unravel the interplay between genome and envirome underlying asthma risk. His long-term research goal is to understand and dissect how biologic predisposition and environmental exposures interact to shape racial disparities in complex disorders.

Results or Roses: New and Assorted Works is a virtual exhibition by artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp and part of the Institute for the Humanities' Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded "High Stakes Art" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that, as she explains, "forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual."

Thanks to the grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, we supported Sharp's work on Results and Roses during the summer of 2020, but due to COVID-19 were forced to postpone the pop-up exhibition also scheduled for summer 2020. This fall we installed Results and Roses as a pop-up exhibition in the Osterman Common Room. Due to building security, it's not open to the general public, but we are thrilled to present the work online as a virtual exhibition.

We are offering a series of virtual coffee chats for the Rackham community, hosted by Rackham’s embedded University Career Center career counselor. The topic for this session is transferable skills—translating skills you’ve gained during graduate school to use on the job market. We’ll spend the first few minutes reviewing transferable skills, and the remainder of the session discussing different types of graduate school experiences, with a focus on articulating the transferable skills gained from these experiences. To get the most out of the session, please review this worksheet and come prepared with questions and/or experiences to share. This event is intended to be interactive and therefore a recording will not be available.
Registration is required at https://myumi.ch/wlbPQ.
We want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events. If an accommodation would promote your full participation in this event, please follow the registration link to indicate your accommodation requirements.

Structured around 3 books (Atom Bomb Poems, The Angry Jizo, and Hiroshima Sketches), the site guides visitors through the diverse art that Shikoku, in collaboration with grassroots networks of artists & writers, created to promote social justice: guerilla art protesting the Korean War in solidarity with Korean residents, poems against the nuclear arms race, a children’s book about war, cityscapes critiquing Hiroshima’s wartime past, and recent performing arts that trace this activist history.

Ann Sherif is Professor of East Asian Studies at Oberlin College near Cleveland. She earned a PhD in Japanese Literature at the University of Michigan. Her books include Japan’s Cold War: Media, Literature, and the Law (Columbia UP). Sherif is co-director of Oberlin College’s Luce Initiative on Asia and the Environment (LIASE) Grant and Co-editor of the Cornell University Press series Environments of East Asia.

Over the past several years there has been a rapidly shifting climate around sexual assault and harassment as a result of the #MeToo movement and growing awareness of sexual abuse in institutional contexts. The University of Michigan and its employees have not been insulated from accusations. In the midst of several high-profile allegations, the University instituted a mandatory university-wide online education program in the summer of 2019, “Cultivating a Culture of Respect: Sexual Harassment and Misconduct Awareness.” The training, opening with a variety of university leaders, highlights culture creation and collective respect as necessary components of an inclusive, equitable institution.

This presentation provides preliminary findings from a survey the team administered in May 2020 to a random sample of staff and faculty across the UM campuses. We focus on two aspects of data in particular, the level of awareness of #MeToo movement among staff and faculty, and how the movement is viewed by respondents as shaping their own attitudes and behaviors. Our data show that employees believe they can identify problematic behaviors and know where to report them, and demonstrate a high level of confidence in university procedures. However, these responses are in juxtaposition to a university culture facing significant challenges. Who is responsible for changing institutional culture? How does cultural change happen in an institution where individuals already believe they are performing appropriately and equitably?

This event is presented by the Initiative on Gender-Based Violence and Sexual Harassment at IRWG.

Watch Session THREE at http://myumi.ch/kxPgR

Department of Musical Theatre

3 unique performances on three nights.

In theatre tradition, a ghostlight—usually a single bulb—remains on an empty stage when a theatre goes dark, to appease the spirits. Faced with the near impossibility of putting on a fully-staged production during a pandemic, the Department of Musical Theatre has chosen to provide a new kind of ghostlight: an online-only revue of the best that the department has to offer.

This faculty-led, student-driven production will feature songs, skits, and dances directed, choreographed, performed, and in some cases written by students from across the Department Musical Theatre. From classics of musical theatre to pop, folk, and jazz, this revue has it all.

Results or Roses: New and Assorted Works is a virtual exhibition by artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp and part of the Institute for the Humanities' Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded "High Stakes Art" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that, as she explains, "forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual."

Thanks to the grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, we supported Sharp's work on Results and Roses during the summer of 2020, but due to COVID-19 were forced to postpone the pop-up exhibition also scheduled for summer 2020. This fall we installed Results and Roses as a pop-up exhibition in the Osterman Common Room. Due to building security, it's not open to the general public, but we are thrilled to present the work online as a virtual exhibition.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Judaic Studies

Join author Miriam Udel as she presents her book *Honey on the Page: A Treasure of Yiddish Children’s Literature*. An unprecedented treasury of Yiddish children’s stories and poems enhanced with original illustrations

*Honey on the Page* lays out a feast of nearly fifty stories and poems for children, translated from the original Yiddish. Arranged thematically—from school days to the holidays—the book takes readers from Jewish holidays and history to folktales and fables, from stories of humanistic ethics to multi-generational family sagas. Featuring many works that are appearing in English for the first time, and written by both prominent and lesser-known authors, this anthology spans the Yiddish-speaking globe—drawing from materials published in Eastern Europe, New York, and Latin America from the 1910s, during the interwar period, and up through the 1970s. With its vast scope, Honey on the Page offers a cornucopia of delights to families, individuals and educators seeking literature that speaks to Jewish children about their religious, cultural, and ethical heritage.

Miriam Udel is an Associate Professor in the German Studies at the Tam Institute of Jewish Studies at Emory University.

Organized By: Michigan Robotics

Recently, robots have played an increasingly helpful role in navigation, mapping, remote manipulation, and many other dynamic applications. As capabilities continue to advance, robots with many joints offer the potential to execute more nuanced, sophisticated tasks than simpler mechanisms. However, the curse of dimensionality can place prohibitive costs in time and resources in order to control and refine such behaviors. In this work, we investigated the role of system geometry in addressing these challenges. Geometric mechanics offers a framework to generalize intuitive features, like friction and inertia, into broad categories of robots that experience the same functional forms relating momentum, internal shape motions, and body motions. We focused on friction-dominated robots, where we could see that the vanishing role of momentum reduces the dynamics from a second order to a first order system. Subsequent architectural simplifications in behavior modeling, planning, and control resulted in robots that were capable of rapidly self-modeling and optimizing useful behaviors. We demonstrated on a simulated robotic snake that during joint failure, the system was able to adapt more quickly when it was equipped with more motorized joints. In this case, dimensionality was an asset, rather than a liability. Additionally, we demonstrated that the methods use no prior knowledge about system kinematics by building a robot made of tree branches. This system was able to optimize a library of primitives for navigation, training on less than 12 minutes of experimental data. Finally we showed that these methods can extend to both soft robots and systems with momentum. This defense will cover our findings concerning the practical applications of data-driven geometric mechanics.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Judaic Studies

Join author Eshkol Nevo as he presents his book *The Last Interview: A Novel*

From the internationally best-selling author of *Three Floors Up*, a literary page-turner that delves into the deepening cracks in a carefully constructed public persona.

A writer tries to answer a set of interview questions sent to him by a website editor. At first, they stick to the standard fare: Did you always know you would be a writer? How autobiographical are your books? Have you written any stories you would never publish? Usually his answers in these situations are measured, calculated, cautious. But this time, when his heart is about to break and his life is about to crumble, he finds he cannot tell anything but the truth. The naked, funny, sad, scandalous, politically incorrect truth.

Every question the writer tackles opens a door to a hidden room of his life. Each of his answers reveals that at the heart of every truth there is a lie–and vice versa. Surprising, bold, intimate, and utterly engrossing, The Last Interview shows just how tenuous the lines are between work and life; love and hate; fact and fiction. And in exploring the many, often contradictory, facets of an Israeli author’s identity, Eshkol Nevo also gives us a nuanced, thought-provoking portrait of a country at odds with itself.

Eshkol Nevo is one of Israel’s most successful living writers, whose novels have all been bestsellers in Israel and published widely in translation. Nevo grew up in Jerusalem, Haifa, and Detroit. He is the grandson of Israeli Prime Minister Levi Eshkol, for whom he was named. He teaches creative writing and thinking at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Tel Aviv University, Sapir College and the Open University of Israel.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Judaic Studies

Join author Sarah Stein as she presents her book "Family Papers: A Sephardic Journey Through the Twentieth Century"

For centuries, the bustling port city of Salonica was home to the sprawling Levy family. As leading publishers and editors, they helped chronicle modernity as it was experienced by Sephardic Jews across the Ottoman Empire. The wars of the twentieth century, however, redrew the borders around them, in the process transforming the Levys from Ottomans to Greeks. Family members soon moved across boundaries and hemispheres, stretching the familial diaspora from Greece to Western Europe, Israel, Brazil, and India. In time, the Holocaust nearly eviscerated the clan, eradicating whole branches of the family tree.

Named one of the best books of 2019 by The Economist and a New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice. A National Jewish Book Award finalist.

Sarah Abrevaya Stein is the Sady and Ludwig Kahn Director of the Alan D. Leve Center for Jewish Studies, and holds the Viterbi Family Chair in Mediterranean Jewish Studies at UCLA. She is the author or editor of many books, including "Extraterritorial Dreams: European Citizenship, Sephardi Jews, and the Ottoman Twentieth Century" and "Plumes: Ostrich Feathers, Jews, and a Lost World of Global Commerce." The recipient of the Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature, three National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowships, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and two National Jewish Book Awards, Stein lives with her family in Santa Monica, CA.

Results or Roses: New and Assorted Works is a virtual exhibition by artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp and part of the Institute for the Humanities' Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded "High Stakes Art" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that, as she explains, "forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual."

Thanks to the grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, we supported Sharp's work on Results and Roses during the summer of 2020, but due to COVID-19 were forced to postpone the pop-up exhibition also scheduled for summer 2020. This fall we installed Results and Roses as a pop-up exhibition in the Osterman Common Room. Due to building security, it's not open to the general public, but we are thrilled to present the work online as a virtual exhibition.

Graph Theoretic Algorithms Adaptable to Quantum Computing (December 17, 2020 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/79629 79629-20432433@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, December 17, 2020 10:00am

This thesis is the first effort towards solving scientific computing problems using graph-based algorithms amenable to quantum computers and specifically, quantum annealers.

Many engineering problems, when considered in a discrete computational setting, can be reduced to a graph coloring problem. Examples range from systems design, image segmentation to pattern recognition where energy cost functions with discrete variables are extremized.

However, graph techniques remain under-utilized in scientific computing. However, we have recently witnessed great advancements in quantum computing where physical devices are available that can solve discrete optimization problems faster than most well-known classical algorithms.

This warrants further investigation into re-formulation of scientific computation problems as graph theoretic problems, and thus enable rapid engineering simulations in a soon-to-be quantum computing world. The computational techniques developed in this thesis allow representation of surface scalars like perimeter and area using discrete variables in a graph. With this framework, several quantities important to engineering applications can be represented in graph based algorithms.

These include: surface energy of cracks for fracture prediction, grain boundary energy to model microstructure evolution, estimate surface areas (of grains, fibers) to generate conformal meshes of microstructures, etc. Combinatorial optimization problems for these applications are first presented.

The last two chapters of the thesis describes two new graph coloring algorithms implemented on a physical quantum computing device: the D-wave quantum annealer. The first algorithm describes a functional minimization approach to solve differential equations. The second algorithm describes a realization of Boltzmann machine learning algorithm on a quantum annealer, with open source codes available on GitHub. The latter allows generative and discriminative learning of data which has vast applications in many fields.

Multidisciplinary Study of Soft Shape Morphing Systems (December 18, 2020 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/80090 80090-20556868@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 18, 2020 10:00am

Nature abounds with examples of shape morphing systems where an entity either gradually grows into a complex 3-D shape pattern or rapidly morphs into a new configuration. Inspired by the shape shifting capabilities of biological systems, we study the response of natural and synthetic morphing systems through a few examples. These include the in vitro adaptive contraction of a cardiac muscle cell inside a constraining hydrogel, inflation of architectured rubber membranes, and a shape morphing soft robot.

Cardiac muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) have an intrinsic mechano-chemo-transduction (MCT) mechanism that enable them to automatically convert mechanical loads into biochemical signals to actively regulate their amplitude and speed of contraction. At the molecular level, this is attributed to the morphing of regulatory and motor proteins (actin and myosin filaments) to facilitate muscle contraction. The underlying MCT mechanisms, however, are unclear and currently under investigation. To help decipher these mechanisms, we develop a mathematical model, as a companion tool for the experimental in vitro Cell-in-Gel system of our collaborators, to analyze the time-dependent, 3-D strains and stresses within a cardiomyocyte contracting in a viscoelastic medium. The model utilizes the exact analytical solution of the viscoelastic Eshelby inclusion boundary value problem as an efficient computational tool to simulate the mechanical fields inside and outside the cardiomyocyte.

In a second study, we investigate the inflation of shape morphing synthetic soft composites with architectured geometry and material properties. Such shape morphing systems could have desirable applications in space deployable systems where there is a growing demand for energy-efficient lightweight and low-cost structures. These structures possess an exceptionally high mechanical packaging efficiency and very small stowage volume, which makes them attractive candidates for space applications including antenna reflectors, solar arrays, inflatable rovers, re-entry equipment, and human habitats. In particular, we explore several feasible 3-D shapes that can be achieved through the inflation of an initially flat rubber membrane with nonuniform geometrical and material properties. Our rubber-based prototypes provide a convenient basis for conceptual scientific and design explorations in shape morphing inflatable structures.

In a third study, we explore the idea of shape shifting in the design and fabrication of synthetic soft robots with active components. Motivated by the swimming mechanisms of jellyfish, we develop a novel concept for a soft biomimetic underwater robot that imitates the shape and kinematics of the typical animal. The robot swims by harnessing the buckling instability of its soft body to quickly morph from an initially flat into a deformed dome-shaped configuration, which generates the required thrust for underwater locomotion. Joule heating of an embedded pre-stretched shape memory alloy spring serves as an artificial muscle for the robot to make this shape morphing possible. The proposed synthetic shape morphing system introduces a new idea in design of simple, compact, and biomimetic robots with smart artificial muscles.

Watch Session THREE at http://myumi.ch/kxPgR

Department of Musical Theatre

3 unique performances on three nights.

In theatre tradition, a ghostlight—usually a single bulb—remains on an empty stage when a theatre goes dark, to appease the spirits. Faced with the near impossibility of putting on a fully-staged production during a pandemic, the Department of Musical Theatre has chosen to provide a new kind of ghostlight: an online-only revue of the best that the department has to offer.

This faculty-led, student-driven production will feature songs, skits, and dances directed, choreographed, performed, and in some cases written by students from across the Department Musical Theatre. From classics of musical theatre to pop, folk, and jazz, this revue has it all.

As part of the CEW+Inspire initiative, CEW+ holds mindful meditation sits virtually on Wednesdays at 12:15.

Being present in the moment is a skill that can be learned when practiced on a regular basis and is especially important during these trying times. Psychological stress can damper your overall health, affecting your ability to remain resilient in the face of challenges. Evidence-based meditation has been shown to also reduce implicit age and race bias, reduce the symptoms of anxiety, depression, and pain, improve cognitive functioning, and assist in ending ruminating thought patterns.

Free and open to all levels of practice.

The Clements Bookworm: Art, Food, and the Politics of Race in the Age of American Expansion (January 15, 2021 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/80391 80391-20713708@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 15, 2021 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

Still-life paintings of food look innocent at first sight, but were depictions of food merely delicious and pretty pictures to admire? Shana Klein's new book, "The Fruits of Empire," argues otherwise. This book talk will address Klein's research on representations of food to understand how they reflected and shaped conversations about race and national expansion in the United States. She will discuss the paintings, photographs, and silverware objects in the book and ask: Who do images of food serve? And at whose expense? The results are not always delicious.

Dr. Klein, Assistant Professor of Art History at Kent State University, is trained in the history of American art, with sub-specialties in African-American and Native-American art.

This episode was generously sponsored by Duane and Marilyn Kirking.

*The Clements Bookworm is a webinar series in which panelists discuss history topics. Recommended books, articles, and other resources are provided in each session. Inspired by the traditional Clements Library researcher tea time, we invite you to pull up a chair at our [virtual] table. Live attendees are encouraged to post comments and questions, respond to polls, and add to our conversation and camaraderie.*

The Biophysics Virtual Seminar Series presents:

Dr. Michele Vendruscolo - Centre for Misfolding Diseases, Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge

*“Activity Relationship by Kinetics for Drug Discovery in Protein Misfolding Diseases”*

ABSTRACT: Protein oligomers are increasingly recognized as the most cytotoxic forms of protein aggregates. It has been very challenging, however, to target these oligomers with therapeutic compounds, because of their dynamic and transient nature. To overcome this problem, I will describe a 'structure kinetic-activity relationship' (SKAR) approach, which enables the discovery and systematic optimization of compounds that reduce the number of oligomers produced during an aggregation reaction. I will illustrate this strategy for the amyloid beta peptide, which is closely associated with Alzheimer's disease, by developing a rhodanine compound capable of dramatically reducing the production of amyloid beta oligomers. As this strategy is general, it can be applied to oligomers of any protein.
