ChE SEMINAR: “The Catalytic Science of Making Up and Breaking Up Dinitrogen” (October 6, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/96108 96108-21791930@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 6, 2022 1:30pm
Location: North Campus Research Complex Building 32
Organized By: Chemical Engineering

The ChE seminar series features guest speakers. U-M ChE faculty and graduate students are especially encouraged to attend.

ABSTRACT:
The catalytic chemistry of nitrogen is inextricably linked with mankind’s use of energy. Large scale nitrogen fixation (N2 → NH3) revolutionized the production of fertilizer, enabled the population explosion of the 20th century, and now consumes several percent of the world’s energy annually production. NOx reduction (NOx → N2) is integral to reducing the adverse impacts of transportation on urban air quality and health. These and other technologies all depend at their heart on heterogeneous catalysis. In this presentation I will discuss the insights gained by applying molecular-level models and concepts to nitrogen catalytic chemistry. Examples will be drawn from our work on the selective catalytic reduction of NOx in Cu-exchanged zeolites, a problem that has led us to rethink the factors that govern reactivity in zeolites, from NO and NH3 oxidation, problems that have caused us to revisit how we model reactions at metal surfaces, and from N2 reduction, where we are exploring the potential to bypass the constraints presented by common catalysts by combining with a non-thermal plasma.

BIO:
Bill Schneider’s expertise is in chemical applications of density functional theory (DFT) simulations. After receiving his PhD in Inorganic Chemistry from the Ohio State University, he began his professional career in the Ford Motor Company Research Laboratory working on a variety of problems related to the environmental impacts of automobile emissions. At Ford he developed an interest in the catalytic chemistry of NOx for diesel emissions control, and he has published extensively on the chemistry and mechanisms of NOx decomposition, selective catalytic reduction, trapping, and oxidation catalysis. In 2004 he joined the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering faculty at the University of Notre Dame as an Associate Professor. At Notre Dame he has continued his research into the theory and molecular simulation of heterogeneous catalysis, with particular emphasis on reaction environment effects on catalytic materials and their implications for mechanism and reactivity. He was named the H. Clifford and Evelyn A. Brosey Chair in 2016 and Dorini Family Chair and Chair of the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering in 2020. He has co-authored more than 185 papers and book chapters, is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and an Executive Editor of The Journal of Physical Chemistry.

Discovering a Forgery: Jupiter's real moons and U-M's fake Galileo manuscript (October 6, 2022 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/98493 98493-21796718@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 6, 2022 7:00pm
Location: Detroit Observatory
Organized By: Bentley Historical Library

In 1610, Galileo Galilei made a revolutionary discovery: moons orbiting Jupiter. One of the first astronomical discoveries made using a telescope, this event was critical to reshaping human understanding of the cosmos. Galileo drafted notes on his observations of the moons, for later publication in a work called the Sidereus Nuncius. In 1938, in a meeting that took place at U-M's Detroit Observatory, that draft was gifted to the University, becoming a treasured holding of the University Library. Or so everyone long believed. Now, thanks to the work of historian Nicholas Wilding, and the collaboration of U-M librarian Pablo Alvarez, the University's "Galileo Manuscript" has been exposed as a 20th-century forgery. Join us at the Detroit Observatory for discussion with Wilding and Alvarez of the purported significance of the manuscript, how its authenticity came to be questioned, and what went into the determination that it was a fake. The manuscript itself will be on display as part of this event, as will be the Library's copy of the first edition of Sidereus Nuncius. Following the panel, weather permitting, we will observe Jupiter and its Galilean moons using a telescope similar in size and power to the one Galileo used and using the historic 12.5" Fitz refracting telescope in the Observatory's dome.

Nick Wilding is professor of history at Georgia State University and a scholar of early modern Europe, history of science, and book forgery. Pablo Alvarez is curator in the Library's Special Collections Research Center and a specialist in pre-1700 manuscripts and printed books.

Shyrokonis: The COVID-19 pandemic prompted the early release of thousands of incarcerated individuals, including those with histories of intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration. Survivor advocates stress the importance of adequate supports for decarcerated individuals during re-entry, and notification and supports for their partners or ex-partners if there is a history of IPV. This survey assessed IPV survivors’ expectations of and experiences with decarceration in the state of Michigan. Findings highlight that out of 42 survivors with recently decarcerated (ex-)partners, 64.3% reported helpful behavior on the part of their released partner. By contrast, out of 72 survivors with still-incarcerated (ex-)partners, the same percentage - 64.3% - expected harmful behavior from their partner if released. Decarceration efforts may distinguish between individuals who are likely to harm versus help (ex-)partners upon release. Nonetheless, survivors reported several unmet needs, indicating the need for better re-integration services for decarcerated individuals and their families.

Michael: Recent theoretical models and empirical studies provide conflicting information about whether early adversity and disadvantage may accelerate or delay the pace of brain development. Few studies have examined how disadvantage within the broader neighborhood may modulate the pace of brain development – particularly on the level of brain networks, which critically underlie cognitive and socioemotional functioning. The present study leveraged a longitudinal community sample of 557 twins sampled from neighborhoods with above-average levels of poverty to evaluate the prospective association between neighborhood disadvantage during childhood (6-10y) and the pace of functional brain network development during adolescence (10-17y). We employed graph theoretical analyses of fMRI data to quantify different properties of network function. Multi-level models revealed that greater neighborhood disadvantage during childhood was associated with reduced network segregation – a proxy for functional specialization of neural networks – during adolescence, even after controlling for household-level disadvantage. Moreover, we found that network segregation, especially in cognitive control networks, showed developmental increases across adolescence in youth from more, but not less, disadvantaged neighborhoods. These findings suggest that neighborhood disadvantage may dynamically influence the pace of functional network development in youth, characterized by initial delays and followed by subsequent accelerations to catch up. Implications for our understanding of risk, resilience, and intervention will be discussed.

Human ecology is the study of relations between humans and their natural, cultural, built, and technological environments. Psychology is a discipline essential to the concept of human ecology, yet the scientific discipline of psychology has disconnected itself from the broader study of human ecology. Recent attempts to decolonize psychology and bring more representativeness into the field brings opportunities for reconsidering this relationship. This talk will consider how approaches to language and cognitive development can be informed by an understanding of human ecology. I will present data on monolingual and bilingual Chinese-, English-, and Spanish-speaking children’s language and literacy development, but also on the worldviews that come with language and discuss not just how children acquire languages, but also how languages acquire children (and adults) as we navigate complex social relationships. Throughout, I will discuss my own and others' experiences with learning language and cultural systems vastly different from our own, and suggest broader emphases on the relations of language to cultural dynamics and to decolonizing and humanizing our discipline.

Webinar: Improving Beach Management in South Carolina by Defining Piping Plover Foraging Habitats (October 12, 2022 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99407 99407-21798174@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 12, 2022 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Graham Sustainability Institute

horebird populations are declining globally in the face of sea level rise, increasing coastal development, and shoreline modifications. The piping plover and red knot have exhibited population declines in recent years, particularly in the intertidal habitats of South Carolina. Recent research has established linkages between benthic prey abundance and foraging activity along South Carolina beaches; however, most of these projects focused on determining impacts from shoreline modification, rather than quantifying habitat characteristics. Identifying characteristics associated with optimal foraging habitat can help inform state and federal permitting and habitat management activities in areas these shorebirds inhabit.

A project team at the ACE Basin Reserve worked with the SC Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to develop a habitat assessment tool for the piping plover and red knot. In this webinar, project lead Andrew Tweel will share methods and outcomes of the project, including a refined list of preferred prey species for piping plovers and a preliminary list for red knots. Tweel will discuss what prey species are important, what makes certain areas foraging hotspots for the piping plover and red knot, and how this information can inform management decisions within South Carolina and across the U.S.

The Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science (MPSDS) offers graduate degrees that combine ideas and techniques for producing and analyzing data about humans and our society. Joint us to launch your career in this exciting and rewarding field in which scientists interpret the world through data.

The University of Michigan Program in Survey Methodology was established in 2001 seeking to train future generations of survey and data scientists. In 2021, we changed our name to the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science. Our curriculum is concerned with a broad set of data sources including survey data, but also including social media posts, sensor data, and administrative records, as well as analytic methods for working with these new data sources. And we bring to data science a focus on data quality — which is not at the center of traditional data science. The new name speaks to what we teach and work on at the intersection of social research and data. The program offers doctorate and master of science degrees and a certificate through the University of Michigan. The program's home is the Institute for Social Research, the world's largest academically-based social science research institute.

The current COVID-19 pandemic and the previous SARS/MERS outbreaks of 2003 and 2012 have resulted in a series of major global public health crises. We must integrate the large and exponentially growing amount of heterogeneous coronavirus data to better understand coronaviruses and associated disease mechanisms, in the interest of developing effective and safe vaccines and drugs. Ontologies play an important role in standard-based knowledge and data representation, integration, sharing, and analysis. Accordingly, we initiated the development of the community-based Coronavirus Infectious Disease Ontology (CIDO) in early 2020.

Khalifeh: Midlife-onset alcohol dependence: Testing prospective and adult correlates in a longitudinal cohort study

Prior research has identified a group of individuals who first develop alcohol dependence in middle adulthood. However, the existing literature concerning this group is limited by reliance on retrospective recall, use of selected samples, failure to evaluate early-life predictors, and consideration of a limited range of psychosocial and diagnostic correlates. We addressed these gaps through a comprehensive prospective analysis of the developmental epidemiology of midlife-onset alcohol dependence. Using data from a population-representative birth cohort followed to age 45, we tested prospective predictors and adult correlates of midlife-onset alcohol dependence. Results indicated that the prevalence of midlife-onset alcohol dependence was approximately 5%. Individuals with midlife-onset alcohol dependence were characterized by a family history of alcohol dependence, dysregulation in adolescence, internalizing disorders and life-functioning impairment in adulthood, and reduced preparedness to manage later-life demands. These findings advance our understanding of the developmental profile of midlife-onset alcohol dependence, with implications to improve the early identification and prevention of alcohol-related problems in middle adulthood.

Bezek: Functional Brain Network Organization and Multi-domain Resilience to Neighborhood Disadvantage in Youth 

Resilience is a dynamic process defined as the ability to adapt positively in the face of adversity. Though a few recent studies have identified neural markers of resilience in cognitive and affective networks, limited work has been done in this area, and the broader network organization supporting resilient outcomes in youth remains unknown. Additionally, most previous work defines resilience as the absence of psychopathology, which does not account for behavioral research showing that resilience exists across multiple domains (e.g., social and academic). The present study utilized factor analytic and graph theoretical approaches to examine the functional brain network organization associated with multi-domain resilience (i.e., psychological, social, and academic resilience) in a sample of 704 twins from neighborhoods with above average levels of poverty. Multi-level models revealed differences in brain network organization at the whole-brain and network-specific levels across unique resilience domains. In youth with the highest levels of risk exposure, greater psychological resilience (i.e., better psychological functioning) was associated with reduced whole-brain network integration. Youth with high levels of risk exposure also exhibited an association between greater academic resilience and reduced network-level integration, specifically in a brain network involved in cognitive control. These findings support growing evidence for differential network connectivity in youth exhibiting resilient outcomes, while providing novel graph theoretical insights into the functional brain network organization supporting distinct resilience domains.

Simmons: Examining the effect of exceptions in generic language

Generic statements (e.g., “Sharks attack humans”) provide generalizations about kinds and may be accepted even in the face of exceptions (e.g., most sharks don’t attack humans). These statements are also common in child-directed speech. Although past research has focused on the positive evidence that justifies a generic, little work has explored the role of counterevidence—that is, category members that are exceptions. Our recent work aims to understand (1) how different types of counterexamples may differentially influence whether generic statements are accepted, and (2) whether listeners have expectations about counterexamples, when presented with generic statements. In this talk I will present novel findings that adults and children were significantly less likely to endorse generic statements when counterexamples displayed an alternative property than when they displayed an absence of the property. These findings suggest that, for children as well as adults, harmful generalizations expressed with generics may be best counteracted by counterexamples that display an alternative property instead of the mere absence of the target property. 

Yu: Where Do Differences in Theory of Mind Development Come from? An Agent-Based Model of Social Interaction and Theory-of-Mind

Theory of Mind (ToM), the ability to understand others’ internal states, emerges early in life and develops in childhood. Although all humans develop ToM, they do so at different paces: some develop faster and some slower. Where do these differences come from? Social interaction is surely one potent cause. In this presentation, I will use a computational agent-based model (ABM) to demonstrate how social interaction can causally influence ToM development. I will show that the amount of social interaction strongly influences the pace of a group of children to fully develop their individual ToMs and illustrate how the result holds across different group sizes and regardless of whether a child begins with an existing social network or not. Finally, I will discuss the new insights offered by a computational modeling perspective – it not only helps inform us how the differences in ToM development emerge but also helps specify an underlying mechanism for such developments.

Human ecology is the study of relations between humans and their natural, cultural, built, and technological environments. Psychology is a discipline essential to the concept of human ecology, yet the scientific discipline of psychology has disconnected itself from the broader study of human ecology. Recent attempts to decolonize psychology and bring more representativeness into the field brings opportunities for reconsidering this relationship. This talk will consider how approaches to language and cognitive development can be informed by an understanding of human ecology. I will present data on monolingual and bilingual Chinese-, English-, and Spanish-speaking children’s language and literacy development, but also on the worldviews that come with language and discuss not just how children acquire languages, but also how languages acquire children (and adults) as we navigate complex social relationships. Throughout, I will discuss my own and others' experiences with learning language and cultural systems vastly different from our own, and suggest broader emphases on the relations of language to cultural dynamics and to decolonizing and humanizing our discipline.

Microbiome data are complex in nature, involving high dimensionality, compositionality, zero inflation, and taxonomic hierarchy. Compositional data reside in a simplex that does not admit the standard Euclidean geometry. Most existing methods rely on transformations that are inadequate or even inappropriate in modeling data with excessive zeros and taxonomic structure. In this talk, I will introduce novel amalgamation-based methods for microbiome compositional data analysis. In particular, we first develop a novel relative-shift regression framework that directly uses compositions as predictors. The new framework provides a paradigm shift for compositional regression and offers a superior biological interpretation. New equi-sparsity and taxonomy-guided regularization methods and an efficient smoothing proximal gradient algorithm are developed to facilitate feature aggregation and dimension reduction in regression. As a result, the framework can automatically identify clinically relevant microbes even if they are important at different taxonomic levels. We also develop a new dimension reduction paradigm for microbiome compositional data based on the amalgamation operation. Our approach aims to aggregate the compositions to a smaller number of principal compositions, guided by the available taxonomic structure, by minimizing a properly measured loss of information. We further demonstrate the efficacy of the new methods on simulations and several real microbiome studies.

ABSTRACT:
Charged polymers known as polyelectrolytes have been studied for decades, however understanding their physical properties remains a persistent challenge for polymer scientists. This difficulty stems from the intricate interplay between length scales spanning as much as 3-4 orders of magnitude, which has stymied our understanding of a truly important class of polymers; polyelectrolytes are widely used in applications ranging from food additives to paints, and most biopolymers (proteins, DNA, polysaccharides) are also polyelectrolytes.

However, the complexity of charged polymers can be harnessed for molecular-level materials design. Inspired by sequence-specific behaviors in biomolecular condensates, intracellular structures that assemble in part by electrostatic interactions, we study phase separation phenomena in sequence-defined polyelectrolytes. We are specifically interested in a class of polyelectrolyte materials known as complex coacervates, which are aqueous solutions of oppositely-charged macromolecules and salt that can exhibit associative phase separation. We pursue an integrated computational and theoretical study, in collaboration with experimentalists, to demonstrate that coacervates are highly sensitive to the precise patterning of charges and other chemical and physical aspects of their environment. We elucidate the key molecular features that play a large role in coacervate thermodynamics. Building upon these insights, we demonstrate how coacervate phase behavior and assembly can be strongly tuned via specific charge sequences, pH, and macroion structure. Ultimately, our goal is to establish molecular-level design rules to facilitate the tailored creation of materials based on complex coacervation that can both illuminate self-assembly phenomena found in nature, and find utility across a wide range of real-world applications.

Webinar: Collaborative Science Conversations: BOO! Does Working Across Political Boundaries Scare You? Try Collaborative Science! (November 2, 2022 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99408 99408-21798175@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 2, 2022 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Graham Sustainability Institute

Ecosystems don’t care about political boundaries, even if the natural resources within them are managed by multiple entities. Research projects that span political boundaries can often be sticky – decisions are made on long timelines, changes in policy and staff can derail implementation of projects and the tools they produce, and it can be difficult to effectively engage diverse stakeholders so that their perspectives inform the work. Enter: collaborative science. In situations with complex and competing interests, there is a higher likelihood that science will be applied to decision making when problems are tackled with a collaborative science framework. In this webinar, collaborative science project teams will discuss how to work across political boundaries and with different partners to develop shared tools, models, and action plans that will improve ecosystem management.

Collaborative Science Conversations
The NOAA RESTORE Science and NERRS Science Collaborative programs are back at it, teaming up to bring you the voices of project teams from the field through our Collaborative Science Conversations webinar series. These sessions dig into the unique value of collaborative science, what it feels like in practice, and tips and strategies for success.

Single-cell multi-omic datasets, in which multiple molecular modalities are profiled within the same cell, provide a unique opportunity to discover the temporal relationship between epigenome and transcriptome. To realize this potential, we developed MultiVelo, a differential equation model of gene expression that extends the RNA velocity framework to incorporate epigenomic data. MultiVelo uses a probabilistic latent variable model to estimate the switch time and rate parameters of chromatin accessibility and gene expression from single-cell data, providing a quantitative summary of the temporal relationship between epigenomic and transcriptomic changes. Incorporating chromatin accessibility data significantly improves the accuracy of cell fate prediction compared to velocity estimates from RNA only. Fitting MultiVelo on single-cell multi-omic datasets from brain, skin, and blood cells reveals two distinct classes of genes distinguished by whether chromatin closes before or after transcription ceases. Our model also identifies four types of cell states--two states in which epigenome and transcriptome are coupled and two distinct decoupled states. The parameters inferred by MultiVelo quantify the length of time for which genes occupy each of the four states, ranking genes by the degree of coupling between transcriptome and epigenome. Finally, we identify time lags between transcription factor expression and binding site accessibility and between disease-associated SNP accessibility and expression of the linked genes. We provide an open-source Python implementation of MultiVelo on PyPI and GitHub.

The ChE seminar series features guest speakers. U-M ChE faculty and graduate students are especially encouraged to attend.

ABSTRACT:
The ability to introduce a chemo- and regioselective post-translational modification (PTM) into a protein is foundational to our understanding of health and disease and is at the center of most chemical biology, synthetic biology, biotechnological and biomedical advances. The Denard Lab aims to redefine, repurpose, and reprogram enzymes that catalyze PTMs (PTM-enzymes), with a focus on proteases and protein ligases. We think of reprogramming a PTM-enzyme in three ways: through protein engineering to modify its biochemical properties, by functional interactions with a selective ligand, through substrate engineering and profiling. To achieve these goals, we have developed several high-throughput functional screens.

In this talk, I will first present our current results on engineering the specificity of a human protease towards new targets, using a high throughput directed evolution platform called YESS 2.0. Our long-term goal is to engineer proteases capable of degrading aggregated proteins. Such engineered enzymes could serve as modalities to investigate and treat protein aggregation diseases (synucleopathies, transthyretin amyloidosis). In early results, we have isolated neurosin variants with switched specificity capable of cleaving peptide substrates found in alpha-synuclein. These variants exhibit reduced activity towards a consensus sequence found in protease activatable receptors. Second, I will share our recent advancements in developing a high-throughput platform to discover protein-based modulators that can reprogram a PTM-enzyme. Our platform is designed to isolate protein-based binders, including nanobodies, antibodies, ScFvs, that can inhibit, activate, or change the substrate specificity of an enzyme. Our results have established this platform as a high-throughput discovery for protease inhibitory nanobodies. Lastly, we developed a platform to comprehensively profile the substrate specificity of sortases. Using Streptococcus pyogenes sortase A as a model, we show that extending the sortase substrate beyond the P1’ residue enhances sortase-mediated ligation kinetics. Most importantly, this comprehensive profiling reveals several non-canonical sortase substrates, some of which exhibit higher ligation kinetics compared to known sortase substrates.

BIO:
Dr. Denard received his B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering from North Carolina State University. He then moved to the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering department at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he obtained his PhD under the tutelage of Prof. Huimin Zhao. As a Dow Chemical fellow, his PhD thesis centered on developing cooperative one-pot chemoenzymatic reactions. Dr. Denard later completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the lab of Prof. Brent Iverson at the University of Texas at Austin establishing high-throughput platforms for engineering the substrate specificity of proteases to enable their use as protein therapeutics. Dr. Denard joined the University of Florida Chemical Engineering department as an Assistant Professor in January 2022. His research focuses on protein engineering for therapeutic and synthetic biology applications, with a focus on reprogramming PTM-enzymes. For these ongoing efforts, the Denard lab received the NIH MIRA award in September 2022

Within healthcare, imaging has transformed how we look at and understand diseases of the heart. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT) and echocardiography have all provided unique perspectives on the anatomy and function of the heart; yet often the wealth of information these images provide is often ignored. New techniques in image processing and machine learning have opened unique avenues for automating comprehensive analyses of the heart and empowered researchers to dig deeper into the data. Adding biomechanical modeling and simulation, these advances can be further propelled into personalized modeling -- providing tools for understanding disease and predicting treatment response. In this talk we review the tools of imaging, analysis and machine learning, and biomechanical modeling and how they are transforming how we understand the heart.

This presentation will be held in 2036 Palmer Commons. There will also be a remote viewing option via Zoom.

ABSTRACT:
Our modern world relies upon chemical transformations that benefit the lives of billions. These transformations can be found across many sectors, including transportation, heating and cooling, electricity, food production, and manufacturing, among many others. To date, fossil resources have provided the majority of the energy demanded by the global economy, and thanks to human ingenuity over decades (and centuries) we have been able to develop large-scale chemical processes that can make use of the fossil resources to provide for many across the globe in a cost-effective manner. However, there are many challenges to the current paradigm, as (1) modern processes are generally not sustainable, and (2) while they provide for billions, there are billions of others who have minimal access to the modern energy system.

This talk will describe efforts envisioned for a future paradigm, particularly on the development of new catalysts and new processes that can make use of renewable resources in the production, storage, and utilization of important molecular products. Examples include hydrogen (H2) production from water and CO2 conversion to carbon-based fuels and chemicals. A key focus will be on the fundamental design and development of catalyst systems that can execute desired chemical transformations with high activity, selectivity, and durability, plus the integration of such catalysts into devices that can achieve high-performance, paving the path ahead for new, sustainable technologies.

Examples include solar- and wind-powered processes to convert water, N2, and CO2 into valuable molecular products such as hydrogen (H2), ammonia-based fertilizers, and carbon-based products (e.g. fuels, plastics) for use in transportation, agriculture, energy storage, and in the chemical industry, among others. The overarching theme is the development of cost-effective, clean energy technologies that can benefit society and provide for economic growth in a sustainable manner.

Prof. Jaramillo has authored over 200 publications in the peer-reviewed literature in these areas, and has earned a number of honors and awards for his efforts. Honors include the Paul H. Emmett Award in Fundamental Catalysis (2021) from the North American Catalysis Society, the Resonate Award (2014) from the Resnick Institute, the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists & Engineers (PECASE, 2011), the U.S. Dept. of Energy Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Program Research & Development Award (2011), the National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award (2011), and the Mohr-Davidow Ventures (MDV) Innovator Award (2009). Prof. Jaramillo is on the annual list of Highly Cited Researchers by Clarivate Analytics, ranking in the top 1% by citations (2018-present).

Professor Jaramillo is from Carolina, Puerto Rico, earning a BS in chemical engineering at Stanford University and MS and PhD degrees in chemical engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He then pursued post-doctoral research as the Hans Christian Ørsted Postdoctoral Fellow at the Technical University of Denmark, Department of Physics, prior to joining the Stanford faculty.

Leadership Dialogues: Robin Washington (November 10, 2022 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99752 99752-21798644@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 10, 2022 4:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Sanger Leadership Center

The Leadership Dialogues speaker series is a fireside chat-style event featuring accomplished industry, political and non-profit leaders discussing the latest ideas in organizational research and ongoing practice with U-M faculty.

What does it take to lead and inspire others at the intersection of science and business?

Robin Washington, BBA ’84, board member of Alphabet, Salesforce, and Honeywell, and former chief financial officer of Gilead, joins Professor Yesim Orhun to talk about leading as a woman in complex environments. Washington, who ranked sixth on The Wall Street Journal’s 2014 list of Top Performing CFOs, has also been named one of Treasury & Risk’s 30 Outstanding Women in Finance, and Black Enterprise's 75 Most Powerful Women in Business.

Washington will describe her journey from an undergraduate student at Michigan to various roles in finance, leading up to her experience as a CFO and corporate board member. Along the way, she has lifted and inspired numerous women and underrepresented individuals. Professor Orhun, whose research explores gender disparity in business and experimentation in leadership behaviors, will explore how scholarship relates to Washington’s vision and practice of leadership. Join us for an engaging talk from leaders in both industry and research.

Select students will have the opportunity to meet Robin at a small, private event from 4 to 4:25 PM. The application is included on the registration form.

PARTICIPANT REQUIREMENTS
Open to all.

Clinical Brown Bag: Age prediction based on functional brain connectivity in 8-to-26-month-olds and its relation with brain structure and behavior (November 14, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/101140 101140-21800861@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, November 14, 2022 9:00am

Resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) measured with fMRI has been used to characterize functional brain maturation in typically and atypically developing children and adults. However, its reliability and utility for predicting development in infants and toddlers is less well understood. In Study 1, we use fMRI data from the Baby Connectome Project (BCP) study to measure the reliability and uniqueness of rsFC in infants and toddlers and predict age in this sample (8-to-26 months old; n = 170 sessions). We observed medium reliability for within-session infant rsFC in our sample, and found that individual infant and toddler’s connectomes were sufficiently distinct for successful functional connectome fingerprinting. Next, we trained and tested support vector regression models to predict age-at-scan with rsFC. Models successfully predicted novel infants’ age within ± 3.6 months error and a prediction R2 = .51. To characterize the anatomy of predictive networks, we grouped connections into 11 infant-specific resting-state functional networks defined in a data-driven manner. We found that connections between regions of the same network—i.e. within-network connections—predicted age significantly better than between-network connections. In Study 2, we applied the BCP-trained age prediction model from Study 1 to rsFC data from an independent sample of similar age range collected in India (INDIA; 8-to-26 months old; n = 107 sessions). We first assessed performance of this age-prediction model and found significant correlation between predicted and true age in the INDIA sample (Spearman ρ = .38, p < 1/500). Next, we asked if age-prediction errors (i.e., true age – age predicted from rsFC) were meaningful. That is, were model errors associated with developmentally relevant measures of brain structure and behavior? Specifically, we investigated relationship between age-prediction error and centiles from normative brain structure charts (Bethlehem, Seidlitz, et al, 2022) as well as parental reports of infant behavior measured with the culturally appropriate Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ). Our hypothesis was that underestimations in age based on functional brain architecture (i.e., positive errors from the rsFC model) may be associated with other developmental-delay-like patterns such as lower centile in the brain structure charts or lower ASQ scores. Supporting our hypothesis, we found underestimated age predictions correspond to lower gray matter volume centiles (r = -.53 for cortical and r = -.56 ps < .001, for subcortical grey matter) across infants and toddlers. There was no significant correlation between the rsFC-based age prediction errors and white matter or ventricle volume centiles from the normative charts in this age range. In the behavioral domain, we found that underestimated age predictions may be associated with lower ASQ Problem Solving subscale (r = -.24, p = .044, N.S. after Bonferroni correction for the 5 tested subscales), which is in the hypothesized direction. Looking ahead, these findings can help characterize changes in functional brain organization in infancy and toddlerhood, inform work predicting developmental outcome measures in this age range, and bridge functional and structural brain measures of neurodevelopment.

Previous research suggests that early life health and resources have long-term implications for a child's health and human capital outcomes. This paper examines whether a generous cash intervention early in life can ``undo'' some of the long-term disadvantage of a low health endowment at birth. To conduct this analysis, we take advantage of new linkages between several large-scale administrative datasets to examine the short-, medium-, and long-term effects of providing low-income families with low birthweight infants support through the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. We examine a birthweight cutoff used to determine SSI eligibility at 1200 grams, and find that families of infants born just below this eligibility cutoff experience a large increase in cash benefits totaling about 17% of family income in the first two years of the infant's life. These cash benefits persist at lower amounts throughout childhood for infants whose birthweight falls right below the cutoff. Eligible infants also experience a small but statistically significant increase in Medicaid enrollment during childhood. We examine whether this support affects health care use and mortality in infancy, educational performance in childhood, and adult human capital, earnings, public assistance use, and mortality using data for all infants born in California to low-income families between 1993 and 2019 whose birthweight puts them near the cutoff. Despite the comprehensive nature of this early life intervention, we detect no improvements in any of these outcomes, nor do we find improvements among the siblings of these infants who may have also benefited from the increase in family resources. These null effects persist across several subgroups and alternative model specifications.

The Coming Interjurisdictional Abortion Wars (November 16, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/101157 101157-21800886@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 16, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine (CBSSM)

This talk will examine the paradigm shift that is occurring now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade. Returning abortion law to the states will spawn perplexing legal conflicts across state borders and between states and the federal government. This talk emphasizes how these issues intersect with innovations in the delivery of abortion, which can now occur entirely online and transcend state boundaries. Judges and scholars, and most recently the Supreme Court, have long claimed that abortion law will become simpler if Roe is overturned. But in reality, overturning Roe will create a novel world of complex, interjurisdictional legal conflicts over abortion. Some states will pass laws creating civil or criminal liability for out-of-state abortion travel while others will pass laws insulating their providers from out-of-state prosecutions. The federal government will also intervene, attempting to use federal laws to preempt state bans and federal land to shelter abortion services. Ultimately, once the constitutional protection for pre-viability abortion disappears, the impending battles over abortion access will transport the half-century war over Roe into a new arena, one that will make abortion jurisprudence more complex than ever before. This talk will offer insights into this fast-approaching transformation of abortion rights, law, and access, looking ahead to creative strategies to promote abortion access in a country without a constitutional abortion right.

Topic: *Parallel Heat-bath Configuration Interaction*

The heat-bath configuration interaction (HBCI) method is a deterministic wave function method that approaches the full CI limit at greatly reduced cost. HBCI consists of two parts: the generation of a variational wave function, followed by a perturbative correction. This work introduces a parallel implementation that is highly scalable and overcomes the memory bottleneck of perturbation theory. The implementation demonstrates 83% parallel efficiency for the perturbative step on 32 nodes.

Clinical Brown Bag: Studying older adults’ health and well-being in contexts of social environments (November 21, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/101377 101377-21801283@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, November 21, 2022 9:00am
Location: East Hall
Organized By: Department of Psychology

As a social gerontologist, I am interested in studying the inter-development between social relationships and health in mid- and later- adulthood. Guided by the bioecological framework, life course perspective, and family systems theory, my research focus is driven by the questions; what are the intra-personal, inter-personal, and contextual factors that support us to thrive well into our fourth quarter of life?; and what are the mechanisms in which life events and social determinant factors influence the trajectory of health and how individuals and couples cope? In this talk, I’d like to share my research experiences in studying later adulthood from the discipline of human development and family studies (HDFS). The first line of research is on the psychosocial factors that are linked to health outcomes; I will discuss my study on the link between loneliness and cognition. The second line of research is focused on identifying the effects of "linked lives" where spouses and family members influence each others' health and development as a dyad; I will discuss my study on personality traits and the health of older couples. The third line of research is interested in exploring the dynamics and decisions people make related to managing their social life in the face of external stress; I will discuss my study on the patterns of social contact change and the links to mental health at the early stages of the pandemic.

Title: Early childhood household instability, adolescent structural neural network architecture, and young adulthood depression: a 21-year longitudinal study

Abstract: Unstable environments accelerate offspring growth at the cost of faster mortality in non-human animals, suggesting a trade-off resulting from developmental adaptation. In humans, although unstable early environments are associated with greater risk for psychopathology, less is known about how unstable environments impact brain development. Furthermore, no study to date has examined household instability and white matter even though myelination plays a crucial role in solidifying neural connections and limiting plasticity. Although white matter networks become more efficient with development, more densely connected networks may require increased maintenance cost, which could present vulnerability to stress if achieved too early. In this talk, I will present results suggesting structural network as a mechanism that links early instability and depression at young adulthood, highlighting the ways in which early adverse experiences can modulate neural development and mental health.

Title: Exposure to community violence as a mechanism linking neighborhood disadvantage to amygdala reactivity and the protective role of parental nurturance

Abstract: Recent research links neighborhood disadvantage to alterations in brain function within regions supporting socioemotional and threat processing. However, less is known about the proximal mechanisms through which neighborhood disadvantage is associated with brain function. One way that disadvantaged neighborhoods may confer risks for youth is by increasing their exposure to community violence. Still, neighborhood disadvantage and exposure to community violence do not predict psychopathology or brain development for all youth; many youth exhibit resilience, and nurturing parenting may play a critical role in these good outcomes. In this talk, I will present findings which show that exposure to community violence is an important mechanism explaining the link between neighborhood disadvantage and heightened amygdala reactivity to threat in a large sample of youth exposed to neighborhood disadvantage. Lastly, I will show that youth with highly nurturing parents are protected from the risks posed by living in a disadvantaged neighborhood. These findings elucidate a mechanism linking neighborhood disadvantage to brain function and highlight the role parents can play in protecting youth from the neural effects of exposure to adversity.

Youth mental health needs have drastically increased while availability of care has remained limited. The ability to provide mental health support in schools is one way to improve equitable access to effective programming. However, school staff need to be provided with adequate training and resources in order to provide these services. This talk will introduce TRAILS (Transforming Research into Action to Improve the Lives of Students), a program that supports schools in the implementation of three tiers of programming that are grounded in cognitive & behavioral skills. The speaker will discuss how research has informed the TRAILS model, and vice versa.

Abstract: In many real-world applications, decision makers usually need to make better decisions without the precise knowledge of the uncertainty. With limited amount of data, distributionally robust chance-constrained optimization (DRC) becomes a powerful tool for decision making because it alleviates the ambiguity in distribution by protecting the optimal solution against a family of candidate distributions, and thus generalizes better when previously unseen samples arise. However, DRC models are usually very hard to solve in general. Therefore, in this talk, I will seek to answer the following two questions: (1) how can we solve DRCs more efficiently, and (2) when are DRCs convex and/or tractable? For DRCs with a covering structure, which arise frequently in facility location, scheduling, production planning, and vehicle routing, we establish their NP-hardness, propose a two-stage reformulation and derive two families of strong valid inequalities. For general DRCs, we uncover a set of sufficient conditions under which DRCs produce a convex feasible region and design efficient algorithms for solving such convex DRCs. I will demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed solution approaches in multiple real-world applications including the emergency medical facility location problem, optimal power flow problem, and planning of charging stations for battery electric buses.

Bio: Haoming Shen is a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan, where he is advised by Prof. Ruiwei Jiang. His research focuses on data-driven optimization under uncertainty with applications to robotics, power grids, and transportation systems, and has been awarded the honorable mention award in 2022 INFORMS Optimization Society Best Student Paper Competition.

Topic: *Influence of shear wave velocity heterogeneity on SH-wave reverberation imaging of the mantle transition zone*

We use the top-side shear wave reflection Ssds as a probe for mapping the depths of the mantle transition zone (MTZ) beneath the contiguous US. Using a common-reflection point (CRP) mapping approach, we observe that the MTZ are about 40–50 km deeper beneath the western United States than the central-eastern United States if based on the 1-D Earth wave velocity model (Preliminary Reference Earth Model). However, the east-to-west deepening of the MTZ disappears in the CRP image if we account for 3-D shear wave velocity variations in the mantle according to global tomography. In addition, from spectral-element method synthetics, we find that ray theory overpredicts the traveltime delays of the reverberations. Undulations of the MTZ are underestimated when their wavelengths are smaller than the Fresnel zones of the wave reverberations in the MTZ. Therefore, modelling of layering in the upper mantle must be based on 3-D reference structures and accurate calculations of reverberation traveltimes.

The Oxford University Museum of Natural History began a large redisplay project in April of this year, with the goal of developing and installing 20 new permanent exhibits in the main court of the Museum. I traveled to Oxford University for my UM Museum Studies practicum to digitize these new displays using structured light scanning technology to create interactive, 3-D models of the objects located within the new exhibits. This project aims to improve both public access to the OUMNH museum space and also begin a digital collection for researchers at Oxford University and beyond.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Global Health Equity

The Center for Global Health Equity’s 2022-2023 Academic Year Seminar Series will feature global health luminaries from around the world. The goals of these conversations are to provide audience members with an intimate glimpse of the professional and personal journeys of key global health advocates, critical challenges they see in the field, and how academic centers can contribute to relevant solutions.

Dr. Banerjee’s global work focuses on the utilization of machine learning and modeling approaches to optimize healthcare quality and ensure equitable delivery of care, specifically for women and in communities where disparities in healthcare outcomes can be reduced. As COVID-19 arrived in her home country of India over two years ago, Banerjee stepped into new roles as a go-to expert—offering advice to heads of state, appearing on international news shows, and organizing charitable giving.

Dr. Banerjee will discuss her experiences in India and Bangladesh that led to a transformation in how she understands her role in global public health. Banerjee will share how her trip to India in spring 2021, when the country was ravaged by its worst Covid wave, was the first time she truly saw the human side of the data she engages with daily as a biostatistician and how this has forever changed her approach to her work.

Sharing Data with the National Addiction & HIV Data Archive Program (NAHDAP): Meeting the Requirements of the New NIH Data Sharing Policy (December 5, 2022 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/101349 101349-21801251@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, December 5, 2022 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Institute for Social Research

The National Addiction & HIV Data Archive Program (NAHDAP) is a data archive at ICPSR, the University of Michigan, which facilitates research on drug addiction and HIV infection by acquiring, enhancing, preserving, and sharing data produced by research grants, particularly those funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). NAHDAP staff work with researchers to safely share their data, including sensitive data, for long-term preservation and secure access by the research community. NAHDAP provides services to help grantees meet the data sharing requirements for their current NIH grants, and to help future grantees plan to meet data sharing requirements for upcoming grants, particularly in light of the new NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy.

In this webinar, you will learn:
● What services NAHDAP provides and what types of data are a good fit for NAHDAP
● Why you should consider sharing your data with NAHDAP
● How NAHDAP protects sensitive or restricted data
● How you can use NAHDAP to meet the data sharing requirements of your NIH grant
● How to write an NIH Data Management and Sharing Plan as a social or behavioral scientist using NAHDAP

Who should attend?
This webinar is free and open to the public. It will be most useful for current or prospective NIH grantees, with a research focus on drug use, addiction, and/or HIV topics, who expect to share data in the future.
