Ann Arbor Jewish Book Festival: Miriam Udel (December 13, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/79202 79202-20231443@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, December 13, 2020 11:00am
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.

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.

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.

Ann Arbor Jewish Book Festival: Eshkol Nevo (December 14, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79614 79614-20430438@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, December 14, 2020 4:00pm
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.

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.

Missy Mazzoli, Composer
Royce Vavrek, librettist

University Opera Theatre & University Symphony Orchestra

Based on the short story by Karen Russell, Proving Up is an intimate and haunting look at the perils of the American Dream. Set in Nebraska in the 1870s at the height of the push west, a family of homesteaders struggles to meet the daunting requirements of the Homestead Act as they try “proving up” on their land claim. This atmospheric new chamber opera from composer Missy Mazzoli features a sparse cast and orchestra, and was selected as one of The New York Times’ Best Classical Music of 2018 selections.

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.

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.

OHEI is now offering a re-formatted Community Conversations approach that is virtual. We feel that it is important to carve out space for dialogue, provide support for one another, promote self-care, and share valuable resources. It is important now, more than ever, for us to come together as a community.

*Please note that we welcome and encourage participants to bring forth topics at these sessions. The format for each session allows for spontaneous conversation. We are developing topics and content in a fluid manner based on the voiced needs of our community and may make changes accordingly.

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.

Wendell Pierce Stars in Some Old Black Man (January 15, 2021 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80493 80493-20730267@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 15, 2021 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Engineering

Written only a few years before the history-making events of 2020, Some Old Black Man frames racial prejudice with bold probity rarely confronted and dramatized. It challenges people of all ages to learn about the unique perspective of elders whose lived struggles created opportunities for future generations and to confront the experiential divides that can grow larger due to generational differences.

In the play, Calvin Jones (Wendell Pierce), a hip, coolly intellectual African-American college professor moves his 82-year-old ailing, but doggedly independent, father, Donald Jones (Charlie Robinson), from Greenwald, MS into his Harlem penthouse. The play begins with an argument over what to eat for breakfast, then turns into a generational clash over race, opportunity, and a decision that Calvin made years ago. Donald’s grumpiness is peppered with disturbing outbursts, revealing bits of his past, informed by growing up Black and poor in the South.

Themes of social justice themes and intergenerational conflict make Some Old Black Man a fitting title for our times, when the reality of more togetherness unveils some of the tensions underlying even the closest of relationships.

The play was filmed in Detroit after the creative team quarantined together during rehearsals in Ann Arbor under strict safety protocols.

After the digital premiere, join the creative team for a live talkback. Production will be available on demand through Monday, January 18.

Written only a few years before the history-making events of 2020, Some Old Black Man frames racial prejudice with bold probity rarely confronted and dramatized. It challenges people of all ages to learn about the unique perspective of elders whose lived struggles created opportunities for future generations and to confront the experiential divides that can grow larger due to generational differences.

In the play, Calvin Jones (Wendell Pierce), a hip, coolly intellectual African-American college professor moves his 82-year-old ailing, but doggedly independent, father, Donald Jones (Charlie Robinson), from Greenwald, MS into his Harlem penthouse. The play begins with an argument over what to eat for breakfast, then turns into a generational clash over race, opportunity, and a decision that Calvin made years ago. Donald’s grumpiness is peppered with disturbing outbursts, revealing bits of his past, informed by growing up Black and poor in the South.

Themes of social justice themes and intergenerational conflict make Some Old Black Man a fitting title for our times, when the reality of more togetherness unveils some of the tensions underlying even the closest of relationships.

The play was filmed in Detroit after the creative team quarantined together during rehearsals in Ann Arbor under strict safety protocols.

After the digital premiere, join the creative team for a live talkback. Production will be available on demand through Monday, January 18.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Linguistics

Dr. Wassink is Director of the Sociolinguistics Laboratory and an associate professor of Linguistics at the University of Washington. She will give a talk titled "Uneven success: racial bias in automatic speech recognition."

The event will take place on Zoom and is open to the public. A reception will follow (see separate link).

ABSTRACT
Racial bias in automatic speech recognition is an emerging area of concern in fields associated with human-computer interaction. Research to date suggests that sociolinguistic variation, namely systematic sources of sociophonetic variation, has yet to be extensively exploited in Acoustic Model architectures. This talk reports a study that evaluates the performance of one ASR system for a multi-ethnic sample of speakers from the American Pacific Northwest (including Native American, African American, European American and ChicanX speakers). Using a sociophonetic approach to characterizing vocalic and consonantal variation, I ask which dialect features appear to be most challenging for our ASR system. We also ask which error types are particular to the four ethnic dialects sampled. Recordings of both conversational and read speech were coded for a common set of 18 sociophonetic variables with distinct phonetic profiles. Automatic transcription was achieved using CLOx, a custom-built ASR system created in the University of Washington Sociolinguistics Laboratory. Normalized error frequency rates (Nf) are compared across ethnic group samples to evaluate CLOx performance. Nf error rates demonstrate clear differential performance in the ASR system, pointing to racial bias in system output. Specific predictions are made regarding approaches that might be taken to leverage sociophonetic knowledge to improve sociolect-recognition accuracy in ASR systems.

LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Maverick or Modern: Gong Zizhen (1792 -1841) and the Origins of Buddhist Studies (January 19, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80214 80214-20601990@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 19, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

While Gong Zizhen (1792-1841) has been acclaimed as a patriotic poet and a prophet of revolutions and modernity in China, his Buddhist thoughts and practices have often been either overlooked or misunderstood. Why did Gong profess his devotion to Tiantai Buddhism in particular, and yet why did he choose to criticize the Lotus Sutra, the most sacred scripture for Tiantai? This research investigates Gong's unique Buddhism in relation to modern religiosity and modern Buddhist Studies.

Dr. Lang Chen is a research fellow at the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies. Before joining the University of Michigan, she was an assistant professor at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. She received her PhD in religious studies at Yale University and worked as a postdoctoral fellow for the Asia Research Institute at the National University of Singapore. She is working on her book project on Tiantai Buddhism in late imperial China.

     7:00pm - Introduction with Stearns Collection director Joseph Gascho and Marlon Johnson
     7:10pm - Screening begins
     8:45pm - Live Q&A with film director Marlon Johnson

RIVER CITY DRUMBEAT is a powerful story of music, love, and legacies set in the American South. Edward "Nardie" White devoted his life to leading the African-American drum corps he co-founded with Zambia Nkrumah in Louisville, Kentucky three decades ago. Together they inspired youth from their West Louisville neighborhood to thrive by connecting them with the art and cultural traditions of their African ancestors. Now Albert Shumake, whose destiny was shaped by the drumline, must take up the mantle for the next generation. Meanwhile, student drummers Imani, Jailen, and Emily navigate adolescence and life changes. RIVER CITY DRUMBEAT follows this creative community of mentors, parents, and youth making their way in a world where systemic forces raise obstacles to fulfilling their dreams.

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.

Webinar | Armenians and the End of Ottomans: Envisioning Peace in Occupied Istanbul (1918- 1923) (January 20, 2021 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80202 80202-20596104@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 20, 2021 5:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location

Please register in advance for the webinar here:: http://myumi.ch/jxokV

After registration, you will receive a confirmation email with instructions on how to join the webinar.

The Armistice of Mudros, signed in October 1918, ended the Great War in the Middle East. While it was a signature of defeat for the Ottoman Empire, it was the beginning of a new period for the Ottoman Armenians and other non-dominant groups such as Greeks and Jews. Yet, the history of the Armistice period has been mostly absent in the existing academic literature. In this lecture, Dr. Şekeryan will analyze the social and political developments regarding the Ottoman Armenian community in Istanbul by utilizing the Ottoman Turkish and Armenian press sources. The lecture will discuss the political transformation within the Armenian community during the Armistice years and then contextualize this transformation within the framework of ethnic bargaining theory to understand how the Ottoman Armenian community organized itself while facing political turmoil.

Ari Şekeryan received his PhD from the University of Oxford in 2018. His thesis, titled "The Armenians in the Ottoman Empire after the First World War (1918-1923)," bridges the disciplines of history, international relations, and area studies by analyzing the minority-majority relations in the final years of the Ottoman Empire, primarily focusing on the relations between the Armenians and Turks. His research was grounded in detailed archival research conducted at the library of the Armenian Mekhitarist Congregation in Vienna, Austria; the Prime Minister’s Ottoman Archives in Istanbul, Turkey; and the National Library of Yerevan, Armenia. He edited "The Adana Massacre 1909: Three Reports and An Anthology of Armenian Literature 1913." His latest articles appeared in the British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies, Turkish Studies, the Journal of the Ottoman and Turkish Studies Association, and War in History. Dr. Şekeryan was a fellow at the Institute for Research in the Humanities at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2019 and the Kazan Visiting Professor in Armenian Studies at California State University, Fresno during Spring 2020.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

Please note, all posted event times are in the U.S. Eastern Time Zone.

In this talk, which is based on his new book, Japonisme and the Birth of Cinema (Duke University Press, 2020), Daisuke Miyao explores the influence of Japanese art on the development of early cinematic visual style, particularly the actualité films made by the Lumière brothers between 1895 and 1905. Examining nearly 1,500 Lumière films, Miyao contends that more than being documents of everyday life, they provided a medium for experimenting with aesthetic and cinematic styles imported from Japan. Miyao further analyzes the Lumière films produced in Japan as a negotiation between French Orientalism and Japanese aesthetics.

Daisuke Miyao is Professor and Hajime Mori Chair in Japanese Language and Literature at the University of California, San Diego. He is the author of Japonisme and the Birth of Cinema (Duke University Press, 2020), Cinema Is a Cat: A Cat Lover’s Introduction to Film Studies (University of Hawai’i Press, 2019), The Aesthetics of Shadow: Lighting and Japanese Cinema (Duke University Press, 2013), Eiga wa neko dearu: Hajimete no cinema sutadizu (Heibonsha, 2011), and Sessue Hayakawa: Silent Cinema and Transnational Stardom (Duke University Press, 2007). Miyao also edited The Oxford Handbook of Japanese Cinema (Oxford University Press, 2014) and co-edited Transnational Cinematography Studies (Rowman & Littlefield, 2017) with Lindsay Coleman and Roberto Schaefer, ASC.

Stamps Gallery Director Srimoyee Mitra will moderate Perspectives on Water: Land Rights, Accessibility & Histories on January 21, 2021 at noon EST. This free, virtual panel discussion is part of the Alternate Assembly: Environmental Impact in the Era of Pandemic, organized by EXPO CHICAGO.

Panelists include Oscar Tuazon, Carolina Caycedo, and Shuddhabrata Sengupta.

This panel invites artists who have initiated further investigations into the histories of water in terms of land rights and clean water accessibility in lakes, rivers, and oceans, to explore the cultural ways in which water bridges communities both locally and globally. Highlighting the often-unseen political history that water and its major infrastructures has, this discussion will question how different sociopolitical backgrounds affect one’s relationship to sustainability. The conversation, moderated by past Curatorial Forum participant Srimoyee Mitra, will address the long lineage art has played within narratives surrounding environmental activism.

To establish the most effective conservation strategies, we must understand the ecological dynamics of the systems that we are trying to conserve. But we do not know the extent to which plants and animals shift their ranges in response to changing climates. Using the fossil pollen and mammal records, we explore how rapidly biomes transition in response to changing climates and to what extent human impacts prevent species from tracking their preferred climate. We have found that plants and animals will need to traverse broad landscapes at unprecedented rates to track climate as it changes, and I have identified strategic regions to target for facilitating this connectivity. However, we also have found that not all species exhibit the same human tolerance or climate fidelity (i.e., some species’ ranges are less affected by climate than others). My lab and I found that 67% of mammals have shifted their climatic niche, mostly in the last 500 years. Interestingly many small mammals have actually expanded their climatic niches into agricultural and urban landscapes, suggesting that humans facilitate their survival. Whereas most large mammals have been extirpated from human-impacted landscapes. We are now working to identify the climate fidelity that plant and animal taxa have exhibited over the last 20,000 years. Our goal is to identify the types of species whose climate tracking we must prioritize as we identify efficient and effective connectivity strategies.

Organized By: Graham Sustainability Institute

Collaborative science involves working closely with partners at every stage - from conceptualizing a new project, to conducting the research, to refining tools to best meet a management need. In May 2020, hoping to start a dialogue around virtual engagement for collaborative science, we held a webinar to reflect on the ways in which collaborative science practices have been impacted by COVID-19.

Now, as we look ahead to 2021, we’re pausing a moment to reflect on what we learned over the course of 2020 and how our practices have changed in response to the pandemic. This webinar will feature preliminary findings from a 2020 survey of collaborative research grantees, first-hand commentary on how collaborative practices have evolved, and speculation about what these lessons mean for the future of collaborative work. The discussion will build on panelists’ comments to further tease out the implications of these new practices for future collaborative science work, and how these lessons can be applied to coastal science within and beyond the NERRS.

To Travel a Different Road: The Translation of African-American Poetry into Yiddish, 1925-1936 (January 21, 2021 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80077 80077-20556854@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 21, 2021 6:00pm

In 1936, a Yiddish-language anthology Neger-Dikhtung in Amerike (Negro-Poetry in America) was published in Moscow. It was compiled and translated by the Kiev-born, American educated Robert Magidoff, and remains to this day the most extensive corpus of African-Diasporic poetry in Yiddish translation. The presentation will examine the anthology’s position amongst different notions of “the folk” in Soviet Yiddish ethnography and folkloristics, the writings of James Weldon Johnson and W.E.B. Du Bois, with whom Magidoff corresponded, and the Yiddish modernist poetry of Shmuel Halkin, who edited the book series in which the anthology appears. When placed alongside DuBois's and others' visits to the Soviet Union in the 1930s, the appearance of African-American poetry in Yiddish translation shows how a transatlantic Jewish avant-garde interpreted and embedded itself within Soviet-African-American contacts in between the Two World Wars. Magidoff served as a Soviet correspondent for NBC and the Associated Press from 1935.
He was accused of espionage and expelled from the USSR in 1948. In 1963 he defended a PhD in Russian literature at the University of Michigan Slavic Department.

MAS Lecture | Underwater Carcass Storage: Evidence for the Role of Proboscideans in Subsistence Practices of Pleistocene Humans (January 21, 2021 7:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80685 80685-20775553@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 21, 2021 7:30pm

The fossil record of late Pleistocene proboscideans (mastodons and mammoths) in eastern North America has often been understood as consisting of animals that died of natural causes and were preserved in wetland settings with little or no evidence of human association. However, close inspection of many of these sites reveals patterns of bone processing that suggest instead that proboscidean carcass parts were brought to pond or bog settings by humans and were stored underwater to protect them from scavenging and preserve them for human consumption in times of food shortage. These sites thus shed new light on human subsistence and early history in North America.

Do you study Russian and want more opportunities to develop your speaking skills in a welcoming and low-stakes environment? Are you looking for an opportunity to socialize with your peers and bond over the difficulties of learning a foreign language? Would you like to learn more about the culture of one of the most politically important and fascinating regions of the world with the coolest undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Michigan?

If the answer to any or all of the above questions is "yes", then you should check out the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures weekly Russian conversation club (called КРЯ - Клуб Русского Языка)! Every Friday at 11:00, we convene for lighthearted discussion of ourselves, our language studies, and of course, the culture of the Russophone world. Regular attendance is not mandatory - you can drop in and out as you wish, and club participants are always willing to help each other out with questions about the language during our discussions. We meet in two groups, the first aimed at first-year students or any who are beginning their language study, and the second targeted towards students who have studied the language for at least a year. Participants are also encouraged to join our discord server, where we post weekly meeting announcements and other Russian-language related content.

*“Boosting high-resolution fluorescence by tunable nano-coatings"*

ABSTRACT: The “Resolution Revolution" in fluorescence microscopy over the last decades has given rise to a variety of techniques that allow imaging beyond the diffraction limit with resolution up to the nanometer range. One particularly powerful technique is direct stochastic optical
reconstruction microscopy (dSTORM), a widely-used type of single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM), which is based on the temporal separation of the emission of individual fluorophores
and subsequent localization analysis. This eventually allows to reconstruct a super-resolved image revealing details down to typically 20 nm in a cellular setting. The key point here is the achievable localization precision, which mainly depends on the image contrast generated by the individual fluorophore’s emission. We found that reflective metal-dielectric nano-coatings represent a tunable nanomirror that can do both quenching and boosting fluorescence for high-contrast imaging on the nanoscale. Such mirror-enhanced fluorescence is very different from other surface effects based on total internal reflection microscopy or optoplasmonics. While surface-plasmon supported fluorescence methods provide much higher enhancement factors, mirror-enhanced approaches are more versatile and thus highly suitable for modern bio-imaging. The resolution improvement achieved with such mirror-enhanced STORM (meSTORM) is both spectrally and spatially tunable and thus allows for dual-color approaches on the one hand, and selectively highlighting region above the cover glass on the other hand. Even if the resulting resolution boost is based on a near-field effect and thus restricted to imaging near surfaces, a large variety of membrane fluorescence approaches even beyond SMLM benefit. Thus, live-cell
Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy and Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer are as well perfect candidates to be pushed to the next level.

Marty Davidson will be presenting his paper, "TPRS-Forest Estimation."

Abstract
This paper proposes an estimation strategy – TPRS-Forest, which researchers can use to model spatial data with poorly understood empirical properties. TPRS-Forest estimation uses the projected coordinates of a spatial variable and decomposes it into three components: spatial trend, systematic variation along the spatial trend, and random noise. The first stage uses thin-plate regression splines (TPRS) to approximate a non-stationary spatial trend, or a change in the conditional mean across the region of observation. Because TPRS represents an approximation, this stage does not model all spatial dependencies. To compensate, the second stage performs a random forest regression on the TPRS residuals, which accounts for systematic variation along the spatial trend. The final stage takes the filtered residuals from the second step and tests for any remaining spatial correlative structure, using a global and local Moran test. This proposed method merges together two literatures of spatial modelling – geoadditive models (Kammann & Wand, 2003; Wood, 2017) and spatial random forests (Georganos et al., 2019; Hengl et al., 2004, 2018) – and anchors them in a social scientific conceptual framework. In developing this method, my primary goal is to provide a way for social scientists to descriptively model their data and produce a set of continuous predicted values while minimizing the assumptions on how best to model their data's spatial properties.

The primary function of the Interdisciplinary Seminar in Social Science Methodology (I3SM) 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.

Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

LEAD, Leading Equity And Diversity, is a series of conversations where attendees have the opportunity to hear from a diverse group of guests who lead or support DEI and social justice initiatives. Since the racial justice movements last summer, many universities are grappling with how to educate faculty, staff, and students on anti-racism. This LEAD conversation will explore some of the options and opportunities to facilitate learning that leads to a more inclusive environment. We will discuss anti-racist curricula, the possibility of mandatory professional development training, and how to engage high level administrators and tenured faculty. Featured guests will discuss lessons learned from past attempts, best practices, and strategies for moving forward.
Access Real-Time Translation (CART) captioning services will be available.

The Financial Well-Being of Detroit Residents: What Do We Know? (January 22, 2021 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80526 80526-20736169@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 22, 2021 1:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Poverty Solutions

This community conversation hosted by United Way for Southeastern Michigan and University of Michigan's Poverty Solutions will explore the reasons why more than half of Detroiters are financially insecure or in financial trouble.

The virtual event will present key findings from a new report from Poverty Solutions, The Financial Well-Being of Detroit Residents: What Do We Know?

The report demonstrates how a combination of low and volatile incomes and disproportionately high costs makes it challenging for tens of thousands of Detroiters to maintain consistently positive cash flow and build savings, leading many households to accrue unmanageable debt and suffer low credit scores.

This event is the first in a series of community conversations around opportunities for action to address the underlying conditions that create financial instability and hardship for so many Detroiters. We are seeking to engage a broad range of stakeholders – frontline staff, agency leaders, academics, financial institutions, policymakers, funders, individuals with lived experience of financial hardship, and general members of the community. Please join us.

Ayana Evans: Persona as Social Justice (January 22, 2021 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80895 80895-20818971@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 22, 2021 8:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Ayana Evans is a NYC based performance artist who grew up on the south side of Chicago. The sensibilities of both locations heavily influence her work with the body, race relations, and gender bias. 

Roberta Fallon, co-founder of Artblog, describes Ms. Evans as, “one part Wonder Woman, one part agent provocateur.” And writer Seph Rodney of Hyperallergic and the New York Times wrote: “I have seen [this] artist actually stop traffic on the Bowery in downtown Manhattan in 2016, where, in a floor-length lace gown, a dollar-store tiara and full makeup, she placed a chair in the street to do chair dips.”

Evans began her career as a painter earning her MFA from Tyler School of Art at Temple University and her BA in Visual Arts from Brown University. During the summer of 2016 Evans completed her installment of the residency, "Back in Five Minutes" at El Museo Del Barrio in NYC. The next year she completed a endurance-based 10-hour, citywide performance and 100-person performative dinner party at the Barnes Foundation in 2017 for "A Person of the Crowd,” a major performance art survey featuring artists such as, Marina Abramovic, Tania Bruguera, and William Pope L. in Philadelphia, PA. Her international work includes participation in: FIAP performance festival in Martinique, The Pineapple Show at Tiwani Contemporary in London, and Ghana's Chale Wote festival, which drew 30,000 people. Evans has received numerous fellowships and awards including: Studio Immersion Fellowship Program at EFA’s Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop (2018); Artists Alliance Inc (2018); Franklin Furnace Fund for performance art (2017-2018); New York Foundation of the Arts Fellow for Interdisciplinary Arts (2018); and an artist in resident for Art on the Vine at Martha's Vineyard (2019). In addition to her numerous guerilla street performances, Evans has performed at the Queens Museum, Crystal Bridges Museum, Newark Museum, and the Bronx Museum. During 2018 and 2019 Evans had three solo exhibitions with Medium Tings Gallery (Brooklyn), Cuchifritos Gallery (NYC) and the EFA Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop with New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) at Governors Island, NY. She has been featured in The New York Times, Bomb Magazine, ArtNet, The Cut, Hyperallergic, and CNN. Evans is currently an adjunct professor at Brown University.

During the Fall 2020 semester, Evans created a new work of performance art for video as part of the Stamps School’s Witt Visiting Artist program. A video of the performance "You Better Be Good to Me,” will premiere as part of the program.

Supported by the U-M Arts Initiative. This talk is part of the 2021 U-M Reverend Martin Luther King Junior Symposium.

JMRN Seminar: Affective trouble: a Jewish/Palestinian heterosexual wedding threatening the Israeli nation-state? (January 25, 2021 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/79763 79763-20486023@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 25, 2021 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Judaic Studies

*Jewish-Muslim Research Network Seminar*

The aim of this presentation is to illustrate and analyze the reactions of some mainstream Israeli politicians to a celebrity marriage between Tzahi Halevi, a Jewish Israeli actor, and Lucy Aharish, a Palestinian Israeli TV personality. Drawing upon the notion of stance, we unveil the affective trouble generated by this heterosexual union vis-à-vis the Israeli national project. More specifically, we tease out the kaleidoscopic collage of politicians’ affective (dis)attachments in relation to Halevi, Aharish and a variety of socioculturally relevant categories such as the Israeli nation. This affective patchwork, we argue, is itself the product of a tension that is at the very heart of the Israeli nation-state, that between the policing of Jewishness as the defining principle of the Israeli national imagined community, on the one hand, and the upholding of the democratic imperative to equal treatment and recognition, on the other.

Roey J. Gafter is a senior lecturer in the department of Hebrew Language at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. He is a sociolinguist whose work focuses on the use of linguistic resources in the construction of ethnic identities. His research explores sociophonetic variation in Hebrew, the Israeli construction of ethnic identity from a discourse analytic perspective, and contact between Hebrew and Arabic. He has published, *inter alia*, in the *Journal of Sociolinguistics, Social Semiotics, and Linguistic Inquiry*.

Positive Links Speaker Series (January 25, 2021 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80480 80480-20728304@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 25, 2021 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Ross Center for Positive Organizations

The way we communicate matters because it has consequences. When it is done well, communication creates human contact, enables a person to discover solutions, builds people up, deepens their relationships, and serves as a source of inspiration and influence. And although all of us communicate every day at work and at home, we often fall short of our own best aspirations. Most often, it is because we may not know how.

This session is an introduction to the art of positive communication. It is based on the premise that the “spoken word, spoken honorably and well, can make a difference that no other form of communication can equal.” In it, you will learn six critical behaviors that will improve your capacity for connecting with others, help you foster high-quality relationships, and lead others positively.

Framed by powerful stories and a practical model of communication you can use today, the session will invite you to transform your own communication and thereby create your own best moments as a person and a leader.

LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Indigenous Voices, Global Echoes: Chinese Ethnic Minority Literature and the ‘Transnational Tribal Solidarity’ (January 26, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80183 80183-20594124@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 26, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

Home to fifty-five officially recognized ethnic minority groups, China has witnessed a vibrant blossoming of multiethnic literature produced by its non-Han groups in the reform era. In Western scholarship, such multiethnic literary voices have remained largely silent and understudied. Drawing from her first book manuscript, in this talk, Dr. Zhang will offer a critical and timely introduction to Chinese ethnic minority literature from a global perspective. Particularly, she will demonstrate how literature produced by ethnic groups of southwest China seeks to forge a "transnational tribal solidarity:" minority poets articulate their connections to Native American cultures and Latin American literary influences. Rooted in both indigenous traditions and transnational cultural imagination, contemporary Chinese minority literature is vital for scholars of China and global multiculturalism to understand the movements, interactions, and negotiations taking place between indigenous/ethnic communities, the nation, and transnational forces in our increasingly interconnected world.

Yanshuo Zhang is a postdoctoral fellow in the Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. Her current book manuscript, tentatively titled "Beyond Minority: The Qiang and Ethno-national Imagination in Modern China," is an innovative interdisciplinary project that combines anthropological field research in the ethnic regions of southwest China with close reading of previously under-studied minority cultural articulations in contemporary China. Dr. Zhang's articles have appeared or will appear in positions: "asia critique," " Prism: Theory and Modern Chinese Literature," "Heritage and Society," among other journals. She received her PhD in Chinese Literature and Culture from Stanford University and grew up in China's multiethnic Sichuan Province.

Metalevel Motion Planning for Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Metrics Definition and Algorithm Selection (January 26, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81051 81051-20838703@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 26, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Robotics

A diverse suite of manned and unmanned aircraft will occupy future urban airspace. Flight plans must accommodate specific aircraft characteristics including physical volume with safety zone clearance, landing/takeoff procedures, kinodynamics, and a wide range of flight environments. No single motion planner is applicable across all possible aircraft configurations and operating conditions. This dissertation proposes the first motion planning algorithm selection capability with application to small Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) multicopters operating in and over a complex urban landscape.

Fail-safe studies are presented to improve on contemporary "fly-home" or automatic landing protocols. Three alternative data-driven fail-safe protocols are presented for multicopter UAS urban flight, focusing on building rooftops as safe urban landing sites. In the first fail-safe strategy, the multicopter identifies, generates, and follows a flight plan to the closest available rooftop suitable for landing. In the second supervisory fail-safe strategy, the multicopter examines rooftops en route to a planned landing site, diverting to a closer, clear landing site when possible. In the third fail-safe strategy, the multicopter cannot preplan a safe landing site due to missing landing site data. In this case, the multicopter executes a coverage path to explore the area and evaluate overflown rooftops to find a safe landing site. These three fail-safe algorithms integrate map generation, flight planning, and area coverage capabilities.

The motion planning algorithm selection problem (ASP) requires qualitative and quantitative metrics to inform the ASP of user/agent, algorithm, and configuration space preferences and constraints. Urban flight map-based, path-based, and software-based cost metrics are defined to provide insights into the properties of the urban canyon needed to construct safe and efficient flight plans. Map-based metrics describe the operating environment by constructing a collection of GPS/Lidar navigation performance, population density, and obstacle risk exposure metric maps. Path-based metrics account for a vehicle's energy consumption and distance traveled. Software-based metrics measure memory consumption and execution time of an algorithm. Metric maps were analyzed in-depth with path-based and software-based metrics utilized in Monte Carlo and ASP studies.

An algorithm portfolio consisting of geometric (Point-to-Point: PTP), graph-based (A* variants), and sampling-based (BIT* variants) motion planners were considered in this work. Path cost, execution time, and success rate benchmarks were investigated using Monte Carlo problem instances with A* "plus" producing the lowest cost paths, PTP having the fastest executions, and A* "dist" having the best overall success rates. The BIT* variant paths typically had higher cost but their success rate increased relative to altitude. The problem instances and metric maps informed two new machine learning solutions for urban small UAS motion planning ASP. Rule-based decision trees were simple to construct but unable to capture both complex cost metrics and algorithm properties. The investigated neural network-based ASP formulations produced promising results, with a hybrid two-stage selection scheme having the best algorithm selection accuracy, laying the seeds for future work.

The most significant innovation of this dissertation is motion planning ASP for UAS. Non-traditional open-source databases also advance the field of data-driven flight planning, contributing to fail-safe UAS operations as well as ASP. Path planning algorithms integrated a new suite of diverse cost metrics accompanied by a novel multi-objective admissible heuristic function. Neural network and decision tree ASP options were presented and evaluated as a first-case practical approach to solving the motion planning ASP for small UAS urban flight.

In our dynamic world, the pursuit of health equity is both valiant and never complete. Generations of public health leaders have devoted themselves to the ultimate goal of a healthier, more equitable world for all. Bringing contemporary leaders to share their insights, vision, and perseverance is the principle of Ahead of the Curve, a new speaker series from the University of Michigan School of Public Health.

A fourth-generation physician whose paternal grandparents fled Germany in the early 1930s to build a new life in Mexico, Julio Frenk catalyzed his deep gratitude for the kindness of strangers into a lifelong mission to improve the health, education, and well-being of people around the world. Dr. Frenk currently serves as president of the University of Miami. He began his presidency in August of 2015 following nearly seven years as dean of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Dr. Frenk has an extensive professional record spanning three decades and a career that has included leadership positions in all relevant aspects of public health and higher education: research, teaching, analysis of public policies, institution-building, international cooperation, and national public service.

Are subtitles the “one-inch-tall barrier,” as director Bong Joon-ho has characterized in his 2020 Golden Globe speech? Or aren’t they an invitation to foreign cultural products? This presentation revolves around the enthusiastic responses by Korean audiences toward the English subtitles for Bong’s award-winning feature, Parasite (2019). Subtitles have long been the target, probably the easiest target of global cinema fans for their mistranslation. As a subordinate translation to an audiovisual text, subtitling is inherently vulnerable to such criticism due to the technical restrictions of time and space. For Parasite, however, the case was different. As it won Cannes’ Palm d’Or in May 2019, its English subtitles—done by Darcy Paquet—were quickly named as one of the most contributing factors that made Bong’s masterpiece accessible to non-Korean-speaking audiences. Korean film fans lauded Paquet’s English subtitles for achieving the impossible task of translating the highly untranslatable details in Bong’s film, namely “Bong-tail,” which have been considered a feature that characterizes the director’s thorough approach to filmmaking. What sets such Korean audiences’ enthusiasm for English subtitles apart from their general dismissal of Korean subtitles for international films? With the question in mind, my presentation delves into discourses surrounding the audiovisual translation of Parasite on various popular forums, including review-aggregation websites, YouTube videos, and comments sections for news entries. Navigating Koreans’ celebratory reactions to English subtitles of Parasite, the presentation illuminates the popular articulation of global Korean cinema.

Irhe Sohn is Assistant Professor of Korean at Smith College. Ranging from colonial Korean cinema to the history of subtitling and cinema under the authoritarian regime, his research revolves around the relationship between politics and aesthetics in the history of Korean cinema and media. He is currently writing a book manuscript entitled Promises of Failure: Dreams of Cinema in Colonial Korea.

Abstract: Massively parallel single-cell and single-nucleus RNA sequencing (sc/snRNA-seq) has opened the way to systematic tissue atlases in health and disease, but as the scale of data generation is growing, so is the need for computational pipelines for scaled analysis. We developed Cumulus, the first comprehensive cloud-based framework, to address the big data challenge arising from sc/snRNA-seq analysis. Cumulus combines the power of cloud computing with improvements in algorithm and implementation to achieve high scalability, low cost, user-friendliness and integrated support for a comprehensive set of features. We benchmark Cumulus on the Human Cell Atlas Census of Immune Cells dataset of bone marrow cells and show that it substantially improves efficiency over conventional frameworks, while maintaining or improving the quality of results, enabling large-scale studies.

In recent years, biologists have found that sc/snRNA-seq alone is not enough to reveal the full picture of how cells function and coordinate with each other in a complex tissue. They begin to couple sc/snRNA-seq with other common data modalities, such as single-cell ATAC-seq (scATAC-seq), single-cell Immune Repertoire sequencing (scIR-seq), spatial transcriptomics and mass cytometry. This data coupling is called single-cell multimodal omics. As it is becoming a new common practice, new analysis needs emerge along with two major computational challenges: big data challenge and integration challenge. The big data challenge requires us to develop scalable computational infrastructure and algorithms to deal with the ever-growing large datasets produced from the community. The integration challenge requires us to design new algorithms to enable holistic integration of heterogeneous data from different modalities. In the last part of my talk, I will discuss my team’s efforts and plans to develop Cumulus as an integrated data analysis framework for scaled single-cell multimodal omics.

Single-cell multimodal omics has the potential to provide a more comprehensive characterization of complex multicellular systems than the sum of its parts. As the datasets produced from the community keep growing substantially, the enhanced Cumulus will continue playing an important role in the effort to build atlases of complex tissues and organs at higher cellular resolution, and in leveraging them to understand the human body in health and disease.

Short bio: Dr. Bo Li is an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, the director of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology at Center for Immunology Inflammatory Diseases, Massachusetts General Hospital, and an associate member of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. His research focuses on large-scale single-cell and single-nucleus genomics data analysis. He received his Ph.D. in computer science from UW-Madison and completed two postdoctoral trainings with Dr. Lior Pachter at UC Berkeley and Dr. Aviv Regev at Broad Institute. He is best known for developing RSEM, an impactful RNA-seq transcript quantification software. RSEM is cited 9,384 times (Google Scholar) and adopted by several big consortia such as TCGA, ENCODE, GTEx and TOPMed.

Secretary of State Madeleine Albright stated in 1998 that one of her “most important jobs is to call attention to the dangers that still confront us and to the direct connection that exists between the success or failure of our foreign policy and the day-to-day lives of the American people.” In my talk, I will explore the presence and impact of race relations on U.S. foreign policy and U.S. actions at home. I will speak to these issues through the lens of the diplomatic profession, including through the unique challenges and experiences I faced as a Black woman, and first U.S. ambassador to the world’s newest independent nation, the Republic of South Sudan, serving under the first Bi-racial American President of the U.S.

Moderator: Monica Hakimi, Associate Dean for Faculty and Research and James V. Campbell Professor of Law, University of Michigan Law School

This event is co-sponsored by: African Studies Center, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies, Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy International Policy Center and Weiser Diplomacy Center, and University of Michigan Law School.

Ambassador (ret.) Susan D. Page possesses deep expertise in international relations, particularly in Africa, excellent French language skills, and the political, legal and analytical acumen of a Harvard-trained lawyer – her first career.

Page was sworn in as ambassador to the Republic of South Sudan on November 16, 2011.

A human-environment systems approach to prioritizing COVID-19 vaccination (January 28, 2021 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/80709 80709-20777524@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 28, 2021 11:30am

Join us THURSDAY January 28 at 11:30 am for our first VIRTUAL SEMINAR of 2021.

Abstract:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, authorities must decide which groups to prioritize for vaccination in an evolving landscape where infection dynamics and population mitigating behavior are mutually connected in a feedback loop (i.e., human-environment interactions). Moreover, if we discover that vaccines prevent not only disease but also transmission, authorities must factor vaccine indirect protection (vaccine-generated herd immunity) into their considerations, which sometimes suggest a strategy of targeting groups that cause the most transmission. In this talk we will use a mathematical model to address the question: which age group should be prioritized for COVID-19 vaccination in order to prevent the most deaths? We developed an age-structured human-environment mathematical model for Ontario, Canada, where evolutionary game theory describes how population adherence to non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) responds to case incidence. Schools and workplaces are also closed and re-opened based on reported cases. We compared strategies of vaccinating 60+ year-olds first; <20 year-olds first; uniformly by age; and a novel contact-based strategy. The last three strategies interrupt transmission while the first targets a vulnerable group. The model shows realistic dynamics whereby case notifications, NPI adherence, and lockdown undergo successive waves that interact with timing of the vaccine program to determine the relative effectiveness of the four strategies. We identify a parameter regime where transmission-interrupting strategies are more effective in preventing deaths than prioritizing older age groups. We conclude that using SARS-CoV-2 vaccines to interrupt transmission may prevent more deaths than prioritizing vulnerable age groups, depending on the time course of the pandemic in a given population.

Some students are beginning to return to face-to-face school after months of remote learning during the pandemic.

For many parents, there are still big questions about safety, including protecting their families from exposure to the virus and how children and schools may contribute to COVID-19 transmission in communities.

Families may also face behavioral, social and emotional challenges as children and teens readjust (again) to a new normal in their learning environments.

Experts from U-M's C.S. Mott Children's Hospital will answer some of families’ top questions about returning to in-person learning.

Topics to be addressed include:
• What research says about transmission and COVID-19 health risks in kids
• Contact with at-risk family members like grandparents
• How to know if your child should stay home from school
• Making decisions about continuing remote learning
• Helping kids adjust to the new school normal
• Supporting kids’ emotional, social and mental health
• Managing behavioral challenges during the transition
• Advice for families of children with special learning needs
• Re-engaging children who may have been disengaged during remote learning
• How to respond (and how not to respond) to disappointed teens who continue to miss milestones
And more

Viewers may ask questions live at the time of the event or add them to the event discussion area here to be considered.

The discussion will be moderated by developmental behavioral pediatrician Jenny Radesky, M.D., and the panel will also include pediatric infectious disease specialist Alison Tribble, M.D., and Terry Bravender, M.D., chief of adolescent medicine at Mott.

Broadcast live on @mottchildren Facebook and Twitter channels as well as Michigan Medicine's YouTube channel

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

Please note, all posted event times are in the U.S. Eastern Time Zone.

While the Japanese government has been encouraging students to participate in study abroad programs, in comparison with previous reports, a 2019 government White Paper illustrated a further drop in interest in study abroad among students aged 13-19. In this talk, I will present social factors, aspects of English education, and communication styles in Japan contributing to this trend. I will expound upon these issues based on mixed methods studies comparing undergraduate students’ attitudes towards and experiences with language and intercultural learning in Canada where English is the first language, and the Philippines where English is a second language.

Dr. Tajima currently serves as Senior Visiting Scholar in the Mixed Methods Program at the University of Michigan. She is also Associate Professor, Faculty of Intercultural Studies, Gakushuin Women's College in Tokyo, Japan. Her research interests include intercultural /second language communication, evaluation of study abroad programs, and mixed methods research.

Contact-map of a protein sequence dictates the global topology of structural fold. Accurate prediction of the contact-map is thus essential to protein 3D structure prediction, which is particularly useful for the protein sequences that do not have close homology templates in the Protein Data Bank.

In this talk, we present a new method, ResPRE, to predict residue-level protein contacts using inverse covariance matrix (or precision matrix) of multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) through deep residual convolutional neural network training. Detailed data analyses show that the major advantage of ResPRE lies at the utilization of precision matrix that helps rule out transitional noises of contact-maps compared with the previously used covariance matrix. Meanwhile, the residual network with parallel shortcut layer connections increases the learning ability of deep neural network training. It was also found that appropriate collection of MSAs can further improve the accuracy of final contact-map predictions.

Orientalism and Monotheism: Renan on Judaism and Islam (January 28, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80679 80679-20775557@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 28, 2021 12:00pm

Organized By: Judaic Studies

Throughout the nineteenth century, the birth of what one may call philologia orientalis and the discovery of the linguistic similarities between Sanskrit and European languages radically transformed the perception of the East, much weakening the idea of a family relationship between Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The case of Ernest Renan (1823-1892) is here emblematic. The lecture will survey Renan’s conception of Judaism and Islam, through his invention of the category of “Semitic religions.” We shall reflect on its consequences on the study of monotheism among historians of religions, as well as on the development of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in the last decades of the century.
