Abstract: Single-cell technologies have transformed biomedical research in the last few years. With single-cell sequencing, we can now simultaneously measure thousands of genomics features in a large number of cells, which provides an ultrahigh resolution phenotypic map for each individual. However, single-cell protocols are complex. Even with the most sensitive platforms, the data are often sparse and noisy. Recent development of single-cell multi-omics and spatial transcriptomics technologies further imposed additional challenges on data integration. In this talk, I will present several machine learning methods that my group recently developed for single-cell and spatial transcriptomics data analysis. I will discuss methods for simultaneous denoising, clustering and batch effect correction, single-cell multi-omics data integration, identification of spatially variable genes, generation of super-resolution gene expression, and inference of cell type distribution in spatial transcriptomics. I will illustrate our methods by showing results from ongoing collaborations on cardiometabolic disease and applications to brain and cancer data.

Biography: Dr. Li’s research interests include statistical genetics and genomics, bioinformatics, and computational biology. The central theme of her current research is to use statistical and computational approaches to understand cellular heterogeneity in human-disease-relevant tissues, to characterize gene expression diversity across cell types, to study the patterns of cell state transition and crosstalk of various cells using data generated from single-cell and spatial transcriptomics studies, and to translate these findings to the clinics. In addition to methods development, Dr. Li is also interested in collaborating with researchers seeking to identify complex disease susceptibility genes and acting cell types. She is Director of Biostatistics for the Gene Therapy Program at Penn, where she advises biostatistics and bioinformatics analysis for various gene therapy studies. She is also Chair of the Graduate Program in Biostatistics. Dr. Li actively serves in the scientific community. She served as a regular member for the NIH Genomics, Computational Biology and Technology (GCAT) study section for 6 years, and the NHGRI Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR) for 3 years. She is an Associate Editor of Annals of Applied Statistics, Statistics in Biosciences, PLOS Computational Biology, and Human Genetics and Genomics Advances. She is an elected member of the International Statistical Institute and a Fellow of the American Statistical Association.

Buildings: A Climate Solution tells the emerging story of architecture that heals the climate by storing more carbon than ever emitted: Building to cool the planet. Around the world, the theory and the practice of making “carbon smart” buildings is being developed by a rapidly expanding network of experts and innovators. Here we will explore the time value of carbon, low-carbon concrete and the new family of low-carbon building codes, and plant-based, carbon-storing materials, mapping an ambitious but practical pathway toward a built environment that has net zero operating emissions but also acts as a massive carbon sponge.

Bruce King is the author of “The New Carbon Architecture,” and has been a structural engineer for 40 years, designing buildings of every size and type all over the world. He is also author of the ASTM standard for earthen construction, the Marin County Low-Carbon Concrete code, and the books “Buildings of Earth and Straw,” “Making Better Concrete,” and “Design of Straw Bale Buildings.” Mr. King is also the Founder and Director of the Ecological Building Network (EBNet), a non-profit information resource that sponsors the BuildWell Source, an online library of low-carbon and carbon storing materials.

Panelists:

Lucca Henrion, Research Fellow, Global CO2 Initiative, University of Michigan

Lionel Lemay, Executive Vice President/Division Head, Structures and Sustainability, National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA)

Missy Stults, Sustainability and Innovations Manager, City of Ann Arbor

In 1950, the United States had 299 nuclear weapons in its stockpile. By 1960, it had 18,638. And by 1965, it had 31,139. As the United States and Russia massively increased both the power and the range of their nuclear weaponry, it became possible to conceive of a catastrophic, global-scale war, and the Atomic Energy Commission funded studies to investigate the economic and environmental consequences of such a war. Along with military planners, sociologists, and even science fiction writers, ecologists were tasked by the U.S. government with envisioning the immense destructive potential of nuclear weaponry. In so doing, ecologists did not picture the outcome of World War III as the total annihilation of life on earth; there would have been no point to such an exercise. Instead, ecologists anticipated a period of environmental and economic recovery after World War III and considered how the government could hasten that recovery – how they could pursue ecological restoration. Ecologists and military strategists revisited studies of past ecological disasters, including the American Dust Bowl, in their attempt to plan for apocalypse. Their Doomsday imaginings drew on ecological succession theory, expanding the category of “environmental disturbance” beyond windstorms, fires, and floods to include nuclear bombs – and, ultimately, any human action. Meanwhile, in order to simulate the effects of nuclear war, ecologists began to destroy ecological communities intentionally. They irradiated forests and fumigated islands, trying to measure how intentionally stressed communities responded. These ecosystem destruction studies reveal the key contributions that the Cold War arms race made to the theory and practice of ecological restoration.

Laura J. Martin is an assistant professor of environmental studies at Williams College. Her research and teaching lie at the intersection of environmental history, history of biology, and conservation biology. She is currently finishing a book on the history of ecological restoration as an idea, a practice, and a scientific discipline.

The University of Michigan M-LEEaD Center is co-sponsoring an event to mark the 5-year anniversary of the bipartisan legislation called the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act. This reform law was designed to modernize U.S. industrial chemical policy to promote health, but has it lived up to its promise?

Public understanding is limited regarding how exposures to toxic chemicals affect health and how they might be regulated. Unlike pharmaceuticals, industrial and commercial chemicals are rarely tested for safety before they reach the U.S. market. The 1976 TSCA has been widely acknowledged to be a weak and ineffective law, and widespread exposures and harms continue. In the U.S., everyone is exposed to industrial and toxic chemicals, dozens and probably hundreds – well before birth. The amount of chemicals manufactured and imported continues to grow – it is trillions of pounds – and these chemicals remain largely unregulated. At the same time, we have seen an increase in chronic diseases, such as diabetes, autism, and infertility. Not everyone is equally at risk, and a higher burden of disease falls on low wealth communities and communities of color. These health disparities in exposures and health effects are illustrated and exacerbated by COVID.

The amended TSCA gave the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency new requirements and authorities. The public health impact points to the need for the U.S. EPA to fully use its new powers to evaluate all risks from hazardous chemicals and set policies which protect health and are accountable to high-risk communities. Preventive actions are urgently needed.

Abstract: Drug combinations have the potential to greatly expand our pharmacopeia while reducing both cost and drug resistance. Yet the current drug-discovery approach is unable to screen the astronomical number of possible combinations in different cell types and does not account for the complex environment inside the body. We have developed AI tools - INDIGO and MAGENTA - that predict the efficacy of drug combinations based on the properties of the drugs, the pathogen, and the infection environment. We are also using modeling to identify drugs that work in synergy with the host immune system. Using INDIGO and MAGENTA, we have identified highly synergistic combinations of repurposed drugs to treat drug resistant infections including Tuberculosis, the deadliest bacterial infection. INDIGO also accurately predicts the outcome of past clinical trials of drug combinations. Our ultimate goal is to create a personalized approach to treat infections using AI.

Biography: Chandrasekaran received his bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology from Anna University in 2008, and a PhD in Biophysics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2013. He worked at Harvard University and MIT as a Harvard Junior Fellow between 2013 and 2016 and became an Assistant Professor at UM in 2017. His lab develops systems biology algorithms for drug discovery. Computer models from his lab like INDIGO and MAGENTA are being used to design effective therapies against drug resistant pathogens. His lab also develops systems biology algorithms to understand metabolic regulation. The approaches that they have created (PROM, ASTRIX, DFA, EGEM and GEMINI) perform complementary functions in modeling of metabolic and regulatory networks. Chandrasekaran’s research has been published in Cell, Genome Biology, mBio, and PNAS. For his work, Chandrasekaran previously received the 2013 Harvard Junior Fellowship, the 2011 Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) International Predoctoral Fellowship, the 2014 William Milton Fund award, 2018 UM Precision Health Investigator Award, and the 2018 Distinguished Young Investigator Award from the AICHE COBRA society.

Speaker: Esme G. Murdock

Esme G. Murdock received her Ph.D. in the Department of Philosophy at Michigan State University, and is an Assistant Professor of American Indian Studies at San Diego State University and a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Philosophy at the Pennsylvania State University for the 2020-2021 Academic Year.

Her research interests include environmental justice, Indigenous and Afro-descended environmental ethics, settler colonial theory, and decolonization as land/resource rematriation. Murdock comes to this work as a descendant of enslaved Africans and settlers in North America. Her current work explores the devastating impacts of colonization and slavery on both Indigenous and Afro-descended peoples and environments on Turtle Island. She anchors her understanding of settler colonialism, in particular, in the experiences and theorization of Native and Black communities, especially toward securing decolonial futures. She often writes back to mainstream environmental discourse that attempts to “read out” colonization as the context of environmental degradation and destruction, particularly in the settler colonies of the United States and Canada. Her work centers conceptions of land and relating to land found within both Indigenous and African American/Afro-descended environmental philosophies. Murdock has work published in Environmental Values, Global Ethics, Hypatia, Agricultural and Environmental Ethics, and World Philosophies. Murdock’s first book manuscript is a land history of the South Carolina Sea Coast that engages in the diverse and often erased ecological histories, ecological heritages, ethnobotanical knowledges, and complex relations of Indigenous and Afro-descended peoples within the colonial complex of multiple European powers.

CCMB / DCMB Weekly Seminar Series Featuring Duncan K. Ralph (Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center) (March 24, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82733 82733-21169592@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 24, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: DCMB Seminar Series

Abstract: Antibodies are an integral part of the adaptive immune response, and are a critical component of both vaccine-induced and naturally-acquired immunity. The development of deep sequencing approaches in recent years has allowed us to sample a significant fraction of the diverse repertoire of B cell receptor sequences from which antibodies are made. These sequences encode a wealth of information on the somatic rearrangement and evolutionary processes that determine the contours of our antibody repertoires, and thus our ability to respond appropriately to pathogens and vaccines. Extracting this information, however, requires a careful inference approach across several different analysis steps. I will describe the computational approaches that we have taken to solving these problems, which constitute the partis software package, and describe their application in several projects, including HIV and Dengue data.

* * *

Biography: Duncan attended the University of California at Santa Cruz for his undergraduate studies in physics, completing his thesis on energy transport in condensed matter theory in 2005. He completed his PhD at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2014, working on the Large Hadron Collider at the European particle physics laboratory (CERN). His thesis described the observation of Higgs boson decays to four leptons. Since 2014, he has worked in Frederick Matsen’s lab at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, first as a postdoctoral researcher and more recently as a staff scientist, writing new computational methods for the analysis of B cell receptor deep sequencing data.

Using Artificial Intelligence for Optimal Truck Platooning under Uncertainties (March 31, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82674 82674-21155688@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 31, 2021 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Connected and Automated Transportation

Truck platooning is the process of using connected vehicle technology to join two or more trucks in a convoy. Platooning is associated with two, major societal benefits: environmental, through lowered fuel consumption, CO2 emission, and traffic efficiency, and safety improvement, through automated driving. Quantification of fuel consumption in platoons depends on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of the system, specifically the resistance or drag force of trucks. While optimization of fuel consumption is pivotal in truck platooning, analysis of CFD is computationally expensive, especially when uncertainties are present, due to geometrical variability of trucks and platoons as well as in wind magnitude and direction.

This research proposes an artificial intelligence-based surrogate model which enables near real-time optimization of platoon configurations based on fuel consumption and impacts on pavement conditions. Attendees will learn how a deep neural network (DNN) model can be trained using data from CFD simulations that utilize high-performance computing (HPC) resources.

Webinar: Understanding the Role Coastal Marshes Play in Protecting Communities from Storm Surge and Flooding (March 31, 2021 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/83387 83387-21369771@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 31, 2021 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Graham Sustainability Institute

As coastal communities strive to safeguard themselves from increasing storm risks, they are looking for ways to maximize the protective powers of their natural features such as coastal wetlands. This project closely examined one marsh complex that lies adjacent to Piermont Village along the Hudson River Estuary in New York. Village residents wanted to better understand how Piermont Marsh would buffer their village from storm-induced flooding and waves, and whether a proposed plan to restore native cattails within a small area of the Phragmites-dominated marsh would lessen its buffering capacity.

In this webinar, two members of the project team will explain how the team used state of the art modeling methods to simulate marsh vegetation and storm impacts produced by a series of past and future storm scenarios. By looking back at Superstorm Sandy in 2012 and projecting how much worse the damage could have been without the marsh, the research team was able to put a dollar value on Piermont Marsh’s buffering services. They will share key takeaways from the research and explain how the findings are informing planning for the marsh and shoreline infrastructure.

Abstract:

Large, deeply phenotyped cohorts are reshaping the world of environmental epidemiology. Two such “big data” resources that are reshaping how we understand environmental health are electronic health records and human cohorts with genome-wide molecular phenotyping. Each provides a unique perspective that is moving the field closer towards “personalized” insights into environmental health risks. Here I will talk about a series of studies which utilize electronic health records and molecularly phenotyped cohorts to investigate vulnerable populations, gene-environment interactions, and epigenetic biomarkers of environmental sensitivity. Together these studies are helping us to understand environmental health risks in a new light.

Short bio:

Dr. Cavin Ward-Caviness is a Principal Investigator in the Public Health and Integrated Toxicology Division of the US Environmental Protection Agency. With a background in computational biology and environmental epidemiology, Dr. Ward-Caviness seeks to understand the environmental factors which influence health in vulnerable populations and the molecular mechanisms that influence environmental health risks. The Ward-Caviness lab uses a variety of “big data” approaches, and Dr. Ward-Caviness is the PI of the EPA CARES research resource, which allows researchers to study environmental health effects in vulnerable patient populations, e.g. individuals with heart failure, using large electronic health record databases. Dr. Ward-Caviness is also interested in how epigenetics and metabolomics can serve as an early indicator of adverse health effects from chemical and social environmental exposures and in particular how molecular biomarkers can give us insight into how the environment may accelerate the aging process and thus contribute to chronic disease. By integrating molecular and clinical data, Dr. Ward-Caviness seeks to understand environmental health as a way to advance personalized medicine and reduce health disparities.

Abstract: More than 3,000 new Marine recruits were studied prospectively during their initial Marine-mandated two-week quarantine and their subsequent basic training at Parris Island. The COVID Health Action Response for Marines (CHARM) studied completed 20,000 study visits and obtained more than 70,000 biosamples including pre- to post- SARS-CoV-2 infections in more than 1000 recruits. Serological, transcriptomic, and epigenetic analyses identify the response signature to SARS-CoV-2 infection in these largely asymptomatic young adults. Phylogenetic analysis and modeling provide insight into epidemiology and guidance for public health measures.

Abstract:
My lab's research involves the development and application of systems biology approaches—combining computation, machine learning, quantitative modeling, and experiments—to study the immune system in health and disease. Recent technological and computational advances allow comprehensive interrogation of multiple modalities (e.g., proteins, mRNAs, immune receptor sequences) in single cell resolution in the human population. Here I will highlight our work in the analysis human and single cell variations along the axes of early immune development, vaccination, and COVID-19. If time permits, I will also discuss the integration of tissue imaging, machine learning, and multiscale dynamical modeling of immune cell interactions to investigate the homeostatic regulation of autoreactive T cells.

Harnessing the Digital Revolution to Build the Water Sector of the Future with Newsha K. Ajami (April 16, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/83618 83618-21438456@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 16, 2021 2:00pm

The water sector is at a crossroad. Facing the challenges of ageing infrastructure and a growing population, the sector has to replace and rebuild its existing network, which had enabled our nation’s social and economic growth during the past century. In the meantime, climate change and its impacts on the water cycle have demonstrated the shortcomings and vulnerabilities of our current infrastructure network and its inability to handle extreme and intensified climatic patterns such as floods, droughts, hurricane and wildfires. The need to revisit and reimagine our current infrastructure model is clear, but the path not as much.

The sector can continue to invest in its current infrastructure model or alternatively embrace decentralized, distributed, and nature-based water solutions. These new infrastructure options hold the promise to increase system flexibility and resilience under climate change while taking the pressure off our existing aging infrastructure networks. However, implementation of these solutions still suffers from the rigidity and complexity of our current water use systems, and the fragmented and in some cases outdated governance structures and business model that overlay them.

There is a need to build a diverse financing portfolio and novel governance tools that harnesses our evolving digital economy and could support the sector’s shifting paradigm as it transitions from centralized model to a 21st century hybrid model, encompassing both centralized and decentralized solutions. In this seminar, Ajami will discuss some of these challenges and provide some thoughts on how the sector can take advantage of this once in a century opportunity and aim to transform itself while embracing new solutions and business models.

Newsha K. Ajami directs the Urban Water Policy Program at Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment. A leading expert in sustainable water resource management, water policy, and the water-energy-food nexus, she studies the human and policy dimensions of urban water and hydrologic systems. Dr. Ajami served as a gubernatorial appointee to the Bay Area Regional Water Quality Control Board for two terms and is currently a mayoral appointee to the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission. She has published many highly cited peer-reviewed articles, and contributed opinion pieces to the New York Times and the Sacramento Bee. Dr. Ajami received her Ph.D. in civil and environmental engineering from the UC, Irvine, an M.S. in hydrology and water resources from the University of Arizona.

Join us to discuss the political challenges and opportunities associated with siting and building renewable energy projects in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

We'll hear from three researchers—one from each of the three countries—who have studied how such project proposals are received by host communities in their respective countries, and the associated political and governance issues.
From the speakers' bios

Sarah Mills is a senior project manager at the University of Michigan's Graham Sustainability Institute, where she manages the Climate and Energy activities. This includes a grant from the Michigan Office of Climate and Energy to help communities across the state consider energy in their land use planning, zoning and other policymaking. Sarah also conducts research at the intersection of energy policy and land use planning-- especially in rural communities. Her current work focuses on how renewable energy development impacts rural communities (positively and negatively), the disparate reactions of rural landowners to wind and solar projects, and how state and local policies facilitate or hinder renewable energy development. Some of this research is in conjunction with the Ford School Renewable Energy Support Fund. She has a PhD in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Michigan, a Masters in Engineering for Sustainable Development from the University of Cambridge, and a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Villanova University.

Webinar: Promoting Resilient Groundwater and Holistic Watershed Management in Alaska’s Kenai Lowlands (April 21, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/83388 83388-21369772@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 21, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Graham Sustainability Institute

In Alaska’s Kenai Lowlands, groundwater is key to healthy watersheds and resilient salmon, farms, and communities. Groundwater discharge provides important ecological services to salmon streams by moderating temperatures, maintaining stream flows, delivering nutrients, and creating overwintering habitat. To better understand the availability of groundwater and how human activities impact this resource, researchers at the Kachemak Bay Reserve and the University of South Florida built a predictive model that shows the depth and extent of aquifers and predicts groundwater discharge and recharge.

In this webinar, project team members will share how their findings generated new insight into groundwater in southern Kenai Lowland watersheds, and how their model revealed the precariousness of groundwater resources and the potential for competition among users. They will discuss how engagement with stakeholders has increased awareness of the need to actively manage this limited resource, and how the community has begun to shift policies and practices to build toward more resilient groundwater resources.

Abstract:

The quest to understand consciousness, once the purview of philosophers and theologians, is now actively pursued by scientists of many stripes. This talk looks at consciousness from the perspective of theoretical computer science. It formalizes the Global Workspace Theory (GWT) originated by cognitive neuroscientist Bernard Baars and further developed by him, Stanislas Dehaene, and others. Our major contribution lies in the precise formal definition of a Conscious Turing Machine (CTM), also called a Conscious AI. We define the CTM in the spirit of Alan Turing’s simple yet powerful definition of a computer, the Turing Machine (TM). We are not looking for a complex model of the brain nor of cognition but for a simple model of (the admittedly complex concept of) consciousness. After formally defining CTM, we give a formal definition of consciousness in CTM. We then suggest why the CTM has the feeling of consciousness. The reasonableness of the definitions and explanations can be judged by how well they agree with commonly accepted intuitive concepts of human consciousness, the range of related concepts that the model explains easily and naturally, and the extent of its agreement with scientific evidence.

Engineering Disaster-Resilient Systems in an Uncertain Future with Jack Baker (April 30, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/83856 83856-21555870@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 30, 2021 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

There are several radical changes underway in the design of the built environment to resist disasters. First, the traditional practice of designing only for occupant safety is being questioned. Societal stakeholders are increasingly also demanding that our facilities and infrastructure recover rapidly and for reasonable costs. Achieving these demands requires a deeper understanding of the recovery process, and of the interaction between the built environment and human systems. Second, climate change, rapid urbanization, and other drivers mean that our past experience with disasters is no longer a direct guide for what we will experience in the future. Achieving future performance targets thus requires new predictive techniques and tools to design for performance objectives. In this seminar, Dr. Baker will discuss these changes, and describe some research underway to advance our ability to create a disaster-resilient built environment.

Jack Baker’s work focuses on the development and use of probabilistic and statistical tools for managing risk due to extreme loads on the built environment. He studies risk to spatially distributed systems, characterization of earthquake ground motions, and probabilistic risk assessments for a number of types of structures. Professor Baker joined Stanford in 2006 from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich), where he was a visiting researcher in the Department of Structural Engineering. He has degrees in Structural Engineering (Stanford, M.S. 2002, Ph.D. 2005), Statistics (Stanford, M.S. 2004) and Mathematics/Physics (Whitman College, B.A. 2000). His awards include the Shah Family Innovation Prize from the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, the CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation, the Early Achievement Research Award from the International Association for Structural Safety and Reliability, the Walter L. Huber Prize from ASCE, the Helmut Krawinkler Award from the Structural Engineers Association of Northern California, and the Eugene L. Grant Award for excellence in teaching from Stanford.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Citizens Climate Lobby

In honor of Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, the Ann Arbor chapter of Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL), in partnership with the CCL Asian Pacific Action Team, are pleased to host a virtual screening of the award-winning films, Anote’s Ark and Love Note to an Island. We invite you to view the films in the comfort of your home, then participate in an online panel discussion with filmmaker, Lulu DeBoer, and returned Peace Corps volunteers who served in Kiribati, Brady Fergusson and Dr. Michael Roman.

For complete details on viewing the film and joining the panel discussion, click on the Eventbrite Registration link.

Optional: we invite our attendees to help support the people of Kiribati by making a donation to the Kiribati Climate Action Network (KiriCAN) through our GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-submerging-island

About the films:

Anote’s Ark: The Pacific Island nation of Kiribati is one of the most remote places on the planet, seemingly far-removed from the pressures of modern life. Yet it is one of the first countries that must confront the existential dilemma of our time: imminent annihilation from sea-level rise. While Kiribati’s former President Anote Tong races to find a way to protect his nation’s people and maintain their dignity, many Kiribati are already seeking safe harbor overseas. Set against the backdrop of international climate and human rights negotiations, Anote’s struggle to save his nation is intertwined with the fate of Tiemeri, a young mother who fights to migrate her family to New Zealand. At stake is the survival of Tiemeri’s family, the Kiribati people, and 4,000 years of Kiribati culture.
Love Note to an Island: This moving short film by Lulu DeBoer shows her visiting her home island of Kiribati for the first time in over 20 years, only to find that climate change will soon wash it away. But instead of despair, the love and hope of the country spurs her on to find solutions to adapt

Excess nitrogen in coastal waters can lead to a variety of problems, including algal blooms, fish kills and beach closures, but there aren’t easy solutions. In Massachusetts, towns along Cape Cod have been exploring the use of non-traditional methods for meeting nitrogen reduction requirements, such as establishing shellfish aquaculture operations in coastal waters. This webinar will feature a recently completed research project that addressed critical information gaps identified by water quality managers and regulators - specifically the needs to quantify the nitrogen removal rates of commercial shellfish growing practices, and to identify best practices for siting and maintaining aquaculture operations that maximize benefits for water quality.

Collaborative science and the co-production of science involve 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. The goal is to encourage mutually beneficial exchanges between researchers and resource managers. Essential to collaborative science is building relationships and engendering trust among the partners. NOAA’s NERRS Science Collaborative and RESTORE Science programs support collaborative science through funding and partnerships around protected and at-risk coastal and ocean areas.

This webinar, the first jointly hosted event between the NERRS Science Collaborative and RESTORE programs, will feature a panel discussion among three contributors to the programs, highlighting important lessons learned and experiences on how to become effective co-producers of science.

Abstract:

Structural variants (SVs) are a source of pathogenic variants in a clinical referral population, however, they are often under-reported due to technical limitations of detection and difficulty with clinical interpretation. For example, mobile element insertions (MEIs) are estimated to lead to a positive finding in 1 out of 1000 rare genetic disease cases, yet the numbers are far lower in clinical diagnostic laboratories. Targeted NGS with short insert size libraries, unlike genome sequencing, will have very few discordant read pairs to indicate the presence of an SV. We, therefore, developed an SV detection tool called SCRAMble (Soft Clipped Read Alignment Mapper) to identify SV breakpoints in targeted NGS.

We applied SCRAMble to a prospective clinical referral cohort for exome sequencing to identify deletions and MEIs. We also applied SCRAMble to a hereditary cancer panel assay for the identification of a large inversion involving the MSH2 gene that causes Lynch syndrome. Adding breakpoint detection to clinical targeted sequencing identifies positive findings which were missed by prior testing and by other variant callers. Detecting breakpoints allows for more precise interpretation and for more targeted confirmation assays. By applying SV breakpoint detection, we are able to diagnose ~0.3% more cases. While this is a modest gain in diagnostic yield, for the patients and families involved, a positive diagnosis, even after prior testing, can have a meaningful impact on their lives.

The nuclear energy sector finds itself at a crossroads— in the US as well as globally. Environmentalists and policymakers are increasingly calling for nuclear energy to make substantial contributions to our future low carbon energy systems, even as nuclear energy remains at the center of polarizing debates about nuclear waste, safety, proliferation, and inequitable treatment of communities of color displaced or harmed by nuclear facilities. Reimagining a new future for the nuclear sector requires repairing and building trust with society and a responsible stewardship of nuclear technologies and nuclear wastes that centers principles of environmental justice. Through this conversation, we hope to begin to reimagine the technological, institutional, intellectual, and ethical foundations of the nuclear energy sector.

Abstract:

Chromosomal instability (CIN) results in the accumulation of large-scale losses, gains, and rearrangements of DNA. The broad genomic complexity caused by CIN is a hallmark of cancer, however, there is no systematic framework to measure different types of CIN and their impact on clinical phenotypes. Here, we evaluate the extent, diversity and origin of chromosomal instability across 7,880 tumors representing 33 cancer types from the TCGA collection. We present a compendium of 17 copy number signatures characterizing specific types of CIN, with putative aetiologies supported by multiple independent data sources. The signatures predict drug response and identify new drug targets. Our framework refines the understanding of impaired homologous recombination, one of the most therapeutically targetable types of CIN. Our results illuminate a fundamental structure underlying genomic complexity and provide a resource to guide future CIN
research in human cancers.

Abstract:

Histones are small proteins that package DNA into chromosomes, and a large number of studies have showed that several post-translational modification (PTM) sites on the histones are associated with both gene activation and silencing. Along with DNA and small non-coding RNA, histone PTMs make up epigenetic mechanisms that control gene expression patterns outside of DNA sequence mutations. Dysregulation of these chromatin networks underlie several human diseases such as cancer. Here I will give an update on technology advancements that have allowed for high-throughput quantitative analyses of histone PTMs and chromatin structure, and how we are applying these methods to understand epigenetic reprogramming found in malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs). MPNST is an aggressive sarcoma with recurrent loss of function alterations in polycomb-repressive complex 2 (PRC2), a histone-modifying complex involved in transcriptional silencing.

GROUP BIKE CANCELED DUE TO CONSTRUCTION - GO ON YOUR OWN AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION

Join student leaders of University of Michigan Sustainable Foods Program and the Campus Farm for a scenic bike ride along the Huron River from Nichols Arboretum (peony gardens) to the U-M Campus Farm at Matthaei Botanical Gardens where we will join in the "9th Annual Harvest Festival" activities.
The route will be completely off road trails including the B2B and Matthaei Gardens Trail.

The route from Nichols Arboretum to the Campus Farm is just under 6 miles long, and we estimate the trip to take about 30 minutes on bikes. Although the group will start at the same time, we expect that the group will spread out along the way. So feel free to go at your own pace. You can even opt to jog if you would prefer.

Start time: 12:30pm at the Nichols Arboretum: 1610 Washington Heights
Bring your own bike and water bottle! All are welcome to participate.
Don’t have a bike? Check out the link to Adventure Leadership for information on daily bicycle rentals. Or bring your own trail-friendly mode of transportation (jogging shoes, scooter, etc.).

Note: This is a one way group trip, so individuals will need to plan transportation back to central campus.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Lifestage Environmental Exposures and Disease Center

Join us on Zoom for a fall seminar questioning the prevailing view that maternal drinking alone contributes to Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASDs). Michael Golding, Associate Professor in the Department of Veterinary Physiology at Texas A&M University, researches the interface between pregnancy and epigenetics, trying to understand how environmental exposures before conception or early in development cause disease later in life. Currently, he investigates how male drinking, prior to conception, contributes to the development of alcohol-induced birth defects and disease.

Abstract:

Human complex traits result from genetic and environmental factors, and from their interactions. Many of these effects are mediated by changes in gene regulation. Indeed, most genetic variants associated with complex trait variation in humans are in regulatory regions. I will present some of our recent studies on gene-environment interactions in gene regulation, with a specific focus on cardiovascular health. I will present evidence that gene-environment interactions in molecular phenotypes are frequent, account for a substantial portion of complex trait variation and modify genetic risk for disease.

Research Focus:

My lab is interested in understanding the genetic and molecular basis of inter-individual and inter-population differences in complex phenotypes. We combine evolutionary and functional genomics approaches to study intermediate phenotypes (e.g.: transcription factor binding, gene expression, protein secretion, etc.) and how they are affected by gene-environment interactions. Our research is funded by the NIH.

Animal/Vegetable/Mineral Art Exhibit (October 1, 2021 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/86729 86729-21642729@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 1, 2021 9:00am
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

In this RC Art Gallery exhibit, Residential College and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design Professor of Art Susan Crowell presents, among other works, a series of wall plaques depicting endangered species. In Professor Crowell's effort to, "...question our interactions with the animal world and our impact upon it," she has installed images of elephants and donkeys as protagonists and antagonists in political struggle, and polar bears as victims of global warming.

"Animal/ Vegetable/Mineral presents an occasion to speak about my most compelling interests—plants and animals--within the mineral rubrics of clay," she says.

This event is free and open to the public. Masks are required for all attendees. Vaccination is not required but highly encouraged. All attendees must complete a short questionnaire at https://responsiblue.umich.edu/sign-in before entering East Quadrangle.

Susan Crowell is Professor of Art at the University of Michigan, where she teaches ceramics and holds a joint appointment in the Residential College and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design. A Fulbright Scholar, she studied architectural ceramics at Centro Internazionale di Ceramica in Rome and directed and taught in the University of Michigan’s Program in Florence. Prof. Crowell conducts research and exhibits her work locally, nationally and internationally. She has presented projects and exhibitions in Canada (at Banff), Japan (at Shigaraki and Miyazaki), Italy (Rome, Venice and Florence), Taiwan, Denmark and China, as well as in France and the United States, and she has participated in a variety of international venues and residencies. In 2005 Crowell published I Compianti Sul Christo Morto: Lamentation Groupings in Northern Italy to illuminate the distinguished history of ceramic materials in Quattrocento devotional and didactic sculpture, and to bring an understanding of their use and potential to contemporary ceramics practitioners. In April of 2016 Prof. Crowell exhibited her work in the conservatories of the Matthaei Botanical Gardens at the University of Michigan, and in May of 2017, at the Alden Dow Gardens in Midland, MI. In 2018 she conducted residencies and research at the Jean Noble Parsons Center for the Study of Art and Science in northern Michigan, and at A.I.R. Vallauris in Vallauris, France, where she exhibited her work in La chapelle de la place Lisnard that October.

For ten years, Crowell’s research and artistic practice has focused upon pollen forms and the process of pollination. Deploying her appreciation of the role of technology in revealing the natural world, she applies the science and aesthetics of botany and apiculture toward the creation of ceramic sculpture, using cast and hand-built forms. In doing so, Prof. Crowell presents an expanded view of pollen within the problematics of industrialized honey production, global commerce in apicultural products, and genetically modified crops.. More recently, she has created Thinning the Herd, an installation of animal forms that addresses endangered species, and Oppositional, a commentary on contemporary political behavior in the United States.

Please register in advance for the webinars here: https://myumi.ch/2D2N9
You need just one registration to attend the three-day conference. After registration, you will receive a confirmation email with instructions on how to join the webinars.

As a global community, we are facing an undeniable climate crisis that “unequivocally” has been caused by human activity. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change states that “every corner of the planet is already being affected and it could get far worse.” Armenia is no exception. This conference seeks to begin an interdisciplinary discussion inviting environmental scientists, geographers, policy experts, and activists to examine challenges posed by climate change and recurrent conflict, as well as present possible solutions through policy advocacy and local activism.

This three-day conference begins with a discussion of the environmental impact of war and violence, past and present, in the region of Nagorno-Karabakh moving to a broader discussion of the effects of the global climate crisis on Armenia’s land, water, and other natural resources. The participants will discuss the issues, challenges, and current policies that seek to mitigate the problems.

Animal/Vegetable/Mineral Art Exhibit (October 7, 2021 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/86729 86729-21642735@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 7, 2021 9:00am
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

In this RC Art Gallery exhibit, Residential College and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design Professor of Art Susan Crowell presents, among other works, a series of wall plaques depicting endangered species. In Professor Crowell's effort to, "...question our interactions with the animal world and our impact upon it," she has installed images of elephants and donkeys as protagonists and antagonists in political struggle, and polar bears as victims of global warming.

"Animal/ Vegetable/Mineral presents an occasion to speak about my most compelling interests—plants and animals--within the mineral rubrics of clay," she says.

This event is free and open to the public. Masks are required for all attendees. Vaccination is not required but highly encouraged. All attendees must complete a short questionnaire at https://responsiblue.umich.edu/sign-in before entering East Quadrangle.

Susan Crowell is Professor of Art at the University of Michigan, where she teaches ceramics and holds a joint appointment in the Residential College and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design. A Fulbright Scholar, she studied architectural ceramics at Centro Internazionale di Ceramica in Rome and directed and taught in the University of Michigan’s Program in Florence. Prof. Crowell conducts research and exhibits her work locally, nationally and internationally. She has presented projects and exhibitions in Canada (at Banff), Japan (at Shigaraki and Miyazaki), Italy (Rome, Venice and Florence), Taiwan, Denmark and China, as well as in France and the United States, and she has participated in a variety of international venues and residencies. In 2005 Crowell published I Compianti Sul Christo Morto: Lamentation Groupings in Northern Italy to illuminate the distinguished history of ceramic materials in Quattrocento devotional and didactic sculpture, and to bring an understanding of their use and potential to contemporary ceramics practitioners. In April of 2016 Prof. Crowell exhibited her work in the conservatories of the Matthaei Botanical Gardens at the University of Michigan, and in May of 2017, at the Alden Dow Gardens in Midland, MI. In 2018 she conducted residencies and research at the Jean Noble Parsons Center for the Study of Art and Science in northern Michigan, and at A.I.R. Vallauris in Vallauris, France, where she exhibited her work in La chapelle de la place Lisnard that October.

For ten years, Crowell’s research and artistic practice has focused upon pollen forms and the process of pollination. Deploying her appreciation of the role of technology in revealing the natural world, she applies the science and aesthetics of botany and apiculture toward the creation of ceramic sculpture, using cast and hand-built forms. In doing so, Prof. Crowell presents an expanded view of pollen within the problematics of industrialized honey production, global commerce in apicultural products, and genetically modified crops.. More recently, she has created Thinning the Herd, an installation of animal forms that addresses endangered species, and Oppositional, a commentary on contemporary political behavior in the United States.

As a global community, we are facing an undeniable climate crisis that “unequivocally” has been caused by human activity. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change states that “every corner of the planet is already being affected and it could get far worse.” Armenia is no exception. This conference seeks to begin an interdisciplinary discussion inviting environmental scientists, geographers, policy experts, and activists to examine challenges posed by climate change and recurrent conflict, as well as present possible solutions through policy advocacy and local activism.

This three-day conference begins with a discussion of the environmental impact of war and violence, past and present, in the region of Nagorno-Karabakh moving to a broader discussion of the effects of the global climate crisis on Armenia’s land, water, and other natural resources. The participants will discuss the issues, challenges, and current policies that seek to mitigate the problems.

Animal/Vegetable/Mineral Art Exhibit (October 11, 2021 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/86729 86729-21642739@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 11, 2021 9:00am
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

In this RC Art Gallery exhibit, Residential College and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design Professor of Art Susan Crowell presents, among other works, a series of wall plaques depicting endangered species. In Professor Crowell's effort to, "...question our interactions with the animal world and our impact upon it," she has installed images of elephants and donkeys as protagonists and antagonists in political struggle, and polar bears as victims of global warming.

"Animal/ Vegetable/Mineral presents an occasion to speak about my most compelling interests—plants and animals--within the mineral rubrics of clay," she says.

This event is free and open to the public. Masks are required for all attendees. Vaccination is not required but highly encouraged. All attendees must complete a short questionnaire at https://responsiblue.umich.edu/sign-in before entering East Quadrangle.

Susan Crowell is Professor of Art at the University of Michigan, where she teaches ceramics and holds a joint appointment in the Residential College and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design. A Fulbright Scholar, she studied architectural ceramics at Centro Internazionale di Ceramica in Rome and directed and taught in the University of Michigan’s Program in Florence. Prof. Crowell conducts research and exhibits her work locally, nationally and internationally. She has presented projects and exhibitions in Canada (at Banff), Japan (at Shigaraki and Miyazaki), Italy (Rome, Venice and Florence), Taiwan, Denmark and China, as well as in France and the United States, and she has participated in a variety of international venues and residencies. In 2005 Crowell published I Compianti Sul Christo Morto: Lamentation Groupings in Northern Italy to illuminate the distinguished history of ceramic materials in Quattrocento devotional and didactic sculpture, and to bring an understanding of their use and potential to contemporary ceramics practitioners. In April of 2016 Prof. Crowell exhibited her work in the conservatories of the Matthaei Botanical Gardens at the University of Michigan, and in May of 2017, at the Alden Dow Gardens in Midland, MI. In 2018 she conducted residencies and research at the Jean Noble Parsons Center for the Study of Art and Science in northern Michigan, and at A.I.R. Vallauris in Vallauris, France, where she exhibited her work in La chapelle de la place Lisnard that October.

For ten years, Crowell’s research and artistic practice has focused upon pollen forms and the process of pollination. Deploying her appreciation of the role of technology in revealing the natural world, she applies the science and aesthetics of botany and apiculture toward the creation of ceramic sculpture, using cast and hand-built forms. In doing so, Prof. Crowell presents an expanded view of pollen within the problematics of industrialized honey production, global commerce in apicultural products, and genetically modified crops.. More recently, she has created Thinning the Herd, an installation of animal forms that addresses endangered species, and Oppositional, a commentary on contemporary political behavior in the United States.

Organized By: DCMB Seminar Series

Abstract:

Understanding the genetic and molecular architecture of human disease is accelerated by robust model development and large-scale molecular profiling. I will present two studies leveraging big data analytics or automated machine learning to dissect human disease complexities: 1) Molecular and clinical signatures of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the US marines. This analysis revealed strong antiviral innate immunity set point in females contributing to sex differences in both molecular and clinical response to SARS-CoV-2 infection. A set of accurate biomarkers capable of detecting PCR false negative infections was implemented on small footprint devices. 2) Automated machine learning to interpret the effects of genetic variants. An automated framework, AMBER, was developed for efficiently searching neural network architectures to model genomic sequences. AMBER is useful in various biological applications, including fine mapping variants, partitioning genetic heritability, and in personalized medicine enabled by CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. Together, these efforts demonstrate quantitative methods coupled with large-scale biomedical data as an effective avenue to decode human regulatory and disease biology.

Short Bio:

Frank Zhang is a Flatiron research fellow with Olga Troyanskaya at the Simons Foundation and Princeton University since 2019. Prior to that, he obtained his PhD at UCLA with Yi Xing. His research focuses on machine learning and statistical method developments for the prediction and interpretation of human molecular and genetic variations using biological big data. Recently, he works on adopting and developing cutting-edge neural architecture search methods to automate the design of deep neural networks in genomics. He is also interested in making deep learning in biomedicine more interpretable and equitable.

Animal/Vegetable/Mineral Art Exhibit (October 18, 2021 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/86729 86729-21642746@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 18, 2021 9:00am
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

In this RC Art Gallery exhibit, Residential College and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design Professor of Art Susan Crowell presents, among other works, a series of wall plaques depicting endangered species. In Professor Crowell's effort to, "...question our interactions with the animal world and our impact upon it," she has installed images of elephants and donkeys as protagonists and antagonists in political struggle, and polar bears as victims of global warming.

"Animal/ Vegetable/Mineral presents an occasion to speak about my most compelling interests—plants and animals--within the mineral rubrics of clay," she says.

This event is free and open to the public. Masks are required for all attendees. Vaccination is not required but highly encouraged. All attendees must complete a short questionnaire at https://responsiblue.umich.edu/sign-in before entering East Quadrangle.

Susan Crowell is Professor of Art at the University of Michigan, where she teaches ceramics and holds a joint appointment in the Residential College and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design. A Fulbright Scholar, she studied architectural ceramics at Centro Internazionale di Ceramica in Rome and directed and taught in the University of Michigan’s Program in Florence. Prof. Crowell conducts research and exhibits her work locally, nationally and internationally. She has presented projects and exhibitions in Canada (at Banff), Japan (at Shigaraki and Miyazaki), Italy (Rome, Venice and Florence), Taiwan, Denmark and China, as well as in France and the United States, and she has participated in a variety of international venues and residencies. In 2005 Crowell published I Compianti Sul Christo Morto: Lamentation Groupings in Northern Italy to illuminate the distinguished history of ceramic materials in Quattrocento devotional and didactic sculpture, and to bring an understanding of their use and potential to contemporary ceramics practitioners. In April of 2016 Prof. Crowell exhibited her work in the conservatories of the Matthaei Botanical Gardens at the University of Michigan, and in May of 2017, at the Alden Dow Gardens in Midland, MI. In 2018 she conducted residencies and research at the Jean Noble Parsons Center for the Study of Art and Science in northern Michigan, and at A.I.R. Vallauris in Vallauris, France, where she exhibited her work in La chapelle de la place Lisnard that October.

For ten years, Crowell’s research and artistic practice has focused upon pollen forms and the process of pollination. Deploying her appreciation of the role of technology in revealing the natural world, she applies the science and aesthetics of botany and apiculture toward the creation of ceramic sculpture, using cast and hand-built forms. In doing so, Prof. Crowell presents an expanded view of pollen within the problematics of industrialized honey production, global commerce in apicultural products, and genetically modified crops.. More recently, she has created Thinning the Herd, an installation of animal forms that addresses endangered species, and Oppositional, a commentary on contemporary political behavior in the United States.

Organized By: DCMB Seminar Series

Abstract:

The Ye lab is focused on harnessing the power of single cell and computational genomics to understand how immune cells sense and respond to their environment. Utilizing new experimental methods we have developed to enable multiplexed single-cell sequencing, I will describe results from sequencing 1.2M cells from ~250 samples to understand the cellular and molecular bases of systemic lupus erythmatosus and COVID-19. I will also describe how population scale single cell sequencing can enable dissection of the genetic architecture of gene expression and annotation of disease associated variants. Finally, I’ll touch on novel experimental workflows to further increase the throughput of single-cell genomics and for encoding orthogonal information into single-cell sequencing assays.

Research Overview:

The Ye lab is interested in how the interaction between genetics and environment affect human variation at the level of molecular phenotypes. To study these interactions, the lab couples high-throughput sequencing approaches that measure cellular response under environmental challenges with population genetics where such measurements are collected and analyzed across large patient cohorts. The lab develops novel experimental approaches that enable the large-scale collection of functional genomic data *en masse* and computational approaches that translate the data into novel biological insights. This approach is used to initially study primary human immune cells in both healthy and diseased patients to understand host pathogen interactions and its role in autoimmunity.

Animal/Vegetable/Mineral Art Exhibit (October 22, 2021 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/86729 86729-21642750@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 22, 2021 9:00am
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

In this RC Art Gallery exhibit, Residential College and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design Professor of Art Susan Crowell presents, among other works, a series of wall plaques depicting endangered species. In Professor Crowell's effort to, "...question our interactions with the animal world and our impact upon it," she has installed images of elephants and donkeys as protagonists and antagonists in political struggle, and polar bears as victims of global warming.

"Animal/ Vegetable/Mineral presents an occasion to speak about my most compelling interests—plants and animals--within the mineral rubrics of clay," she says.

This event is free and open to the public. Masks are required for all attendees. Vaccination is not required but highly encouraged. All attendees must complete a short questionnaire at https://responsiblue.umich.edu/sign-in before entering East Quadrangle.

Susan Crowell is Professor of Art at the University of Michigan, where she teaches ceramics and holds a joint appointment in the Residential College and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design. A Fulbright Scholar, she studied architectural ceramics at Centro Internazionale di Ceramica in Rome and directed and taught in the University of Michigan’s Program in Florence. Prof. Crowell conducts research and exhibits her work locally, nationally and internationally. She has presented projects and exhibitions in Canada (at Banff), Japan (at Shigaraki and Miyazaki), Italy (Rome, Venice and Florence), Taiwan, Denmark and China, as well as in France and the United States, and she has participated in a variety of international venues and residencies. In 2005 Crowell published I Compianti Sul Christo Morto: Lamentation Groupings in Northern Italy to illuminate the distinguished history of ceramic materials in Quattrocento devotional and didactic sculpture, and to bring an understanding of their use and potential to contemporary ceramics practitioners. In April of 2016 Prof. Crowell exhibited her work in the conservatories of the Matthaei Botanical Gardens at the University of Michigan, and in May of 2017, at the Alden Dow Gardens in Midland, MI. In 2018 she conducted residencies and research at the Jean Noble Parsons Center for the Study of Art and Science in northern Michigan, and at A.I.R. Vallauris in Vallauris, France, where she exhibited her work in La chapelle de la place Lisnard that October.

For ten years, Crowell’s research and artistic practice has focused upon pollen forms and the process of pollination. Deploying her appreciation of the role of technology in revealing the natural world, she applies the science and aesthetics of botany and apiculture toward the creation of ceramic sculpture, using cast and hand-built forms. In doing so, Prof. Crowell presents an expanded view of pollen within the problematics of industrialized honey production, global commerce in apicultural products, and genetically modified crops.. More recently, she has created Thinning the Herd, an installation of animal forms that addresses endangered species, and Oppositional, a commentary on contemporary political behavior in the United States.
