DCMB Seminar - Neurons in pathology through the lens of multi-omics and data analytics (September 11, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/65485 65485-16605630@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 11, 2019 4:00pm

Organized By: DCMB Seminar Series

Abstract:

Advances in stem cell engineering, omics technologies and data sciences offer a unique scope for deciphering the myriad ways molecular circuits dysfunction in pathologies of the brain. Recently, we have developed and explored iPSC-derived neurons from familial Alzheimer’s disease patients using a systems-level, multi-omics approach, identifying disease-related endotypes, which are commonly dysregulated in patient-derived neurons and patient brain tissue alike. By integrating RNA-Seq, ATAC-Seq, and ChIP-Seq approaches, we determined that the defining disease-causing mechanism of AD is de-differentiation of neurons, driven primarily through the REST-mediated repression of neuronal lineage specification gene programs and the activation of cell cycle reentry and non-specific germ layer precursor gene programs concomitant with modifications in chromatin accessibility. Strikingly, our reanalysis of previously-generated AD-patient brain tissue showed similar enrichment of neuronal repression and de-differentiation mechanisms. Surprisingly, our earlier work on glioblastoma also showed de-differentiation and initiation of some of the shared diseased endotypes as common features. We postulate that de-differentiation and reprogramming are hallmark mechanisms of numerous pathologies, arguably genetically evolved to serve as protection mechanisms.

For their 2019 Hackathon, the National Security Innovation Network Challenges students to create an AI-enabling user interface that can intuitively capture both structured and non-structured maintenance data, and associated maintainer actions, in an efficient and user-friendly manner to produce more accurate maintenance logs.

There are two focus areas embedded in this challenge:
Data Collection - How do you recognize, classify, and quantify maintainer action? How do you associate those actions with required maintenance data fields?
User Interface - What are the most intuitive and user-friendly interfaces? How can you minimize the burden on the technician?

Ideal solutions will create more accurate maintenance logs while taking into consideration a wide spectrum of Intelligent User Interfaces - from traditional User Interfaces to more advanced modalities such as Natural Language Processing, Gesture Recognition and Augmented Reality.
 
Who should be interested? New ideas from students, academics, entrepreneurs, and early stage startups with skills including, but not limited to: design, hardware and software engineering, computer science, artificial intelligence and machine learning, UI/UX, electrical, mechanical and industrial engineering, physics, business, communications, social media, and information technology.

NSIN will provide up to three $15K awards, for a total of $45K, to three winning teams to further develop their concepts!

TITLE: Advancing Evidence-based Biomedical Engineering Education in Real Time

Undergraduate biomedical engineering (BME) programs typically consist of courses from several different academic departments combined with BME-specific courses taught by faculty trained in a variety of disciplines. While some students embrace this diversity in courses and disciplinary perspectives, many struggle with how to translate these experiences into career opportunities. BME students are often concerned that they are perceived as a “jack of all trades, masters of none.” In 2016, the BME Department sought to find new ways to integrate BME professional practice into the curriculum.

Informed by organizational change theory, we asked: 1) Is there potential for change; 2) what strategies facilitate change; and 3) how can these strategies be implemented? As a result, we developed an Instructional Design Sequence, a new approach to instruction in which students, post docs, and faculty create short modules that use evidence-based teaching practices to expose BME students to BME professional practice.

This presentation describes how the Instructional Design Sequence was conceived and demonstrates how theory can be used to inform practice. The resultant Sequence is a transferrable model for transforming engineering education, offering a mechanism for integrating new career-relevant curriculum into undergraduate curriculum, while training future educators in evidence-based instructional practices.

Central Bank of the Future Conference (October 2, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/63527 63527-15782016@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 2, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: Center on Finance, Law, and Policy

Traditionally, central banks have served three policy functions – monetary policy, payments systems oversight, and financial institution supervision. This conference will convene international experts and practitioners to examine how these core functions contribute to financial inclusion, poverty allevation, and a more inclusive economy – and what could be improved.

The conference contributes to a research initiative undertaken by the University of Michigan’s Center on Finance, Law & Policy, in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to consider how the role of a central bank could evolve in the future and enable central banks to make greater contributions toward financial inclusion. Ultimately, the research intends to identify technologies, processes, or tools that could benefit a central bank in supporting public policy objectives related to inclusion, and consider whether other sectors, including philanthropy, might have a role to play in supporting the development of those tools.

Registration to the event is free. Speakers and attendees will include individuals from standards-setting bodies, central banks and other financial regulators, and policymakers, as well as futurists and technologists, and other financial ecosystem stakeholders.

Digital and interactive forms of scholarship challenge established practices in the Arts & Humanities. Audiovisual content, graphic interfaces, and different types of visualizations employed in new forms of presentation and publication (e.g. websites, blogs, online databases, 3D worlds) do not conform with existing concepts of scholarship, and established practices of evaluation. Bringing together 3D model making (scholarship more generally) and the work of digital scholarly editions (DSE) is in fact new, and not a series of scholarly theories and practices that have been previously deployed in the digital humanities. Although these digital vehicles powerfully disseminate and engage with scholarship, scholars who implement these ‘new’ modalities are confronted by “the same old,” established mechanisms with which to gauge ‘impact’ among one’s scholarly peers, i.e. within traditional and long-established publications. Interactive 3D visualization, despite its long tradition in humanities research, is still faced with skepticism and hesitation, not only because of the constant technological shifts and exigencies and the fragile ecosystem within which projects are being developed, but also due to their non-conventional nature that does not adhere to established “norms” and metrics. Nieves will discuss the challenges of doing social justice based work, in digital humanities, while also providing new methods and platforms for dissemination in the Global South. He is currently working on a digital book project entitled, Apartheid Heritages: A Spatial History of South Africa’s Township’s (www.apartheidheritages.org), now under consideration at Stanford University Press as part of their Mellon Foundation-funded digital publishing initiatives.

Abstract: Dr. Haendel’s vision is to weave together healthcare systems, basic science research, and patient generated data through development of data integration technologies and innovative data capture strategies. The Monarch Initiative is an international consortium dedicated to integrating human and organismal genotype-phenotype data and the development of deep phenotyping techniques. This talk will focus on the use of ontologies to support knowledge and data integration across disciplinary boundaries. Strategies for how to reconcile different terminologies and examples of harmonized semantic structures for anatomy, phenotype, and disease will be discussed. Finally, we will discuss the use of these ontological resources to populate graph structures and their use to aid mechanism discovery and rare disease diagnosis.

Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Tauber Institute for Global Operations

Once again, the Tauber Institute, in conjunction with the International Project Management Association (IPMA), is sponsoring a Project Management certification class and exam for graduate business and engineering students and staff.

In order to participate, you will need to reflect upon a project management experience (for example: a work project, an engineering design experience/senior capstone, Ross' MAP project, Tauber team project, etc). If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel, MAP, or other another class), the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session.

The cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595, however, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students: $500 and to Tauber students: $150. Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 24 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, April 7 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, October 6 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for November 17, 2019 (11:00 - 3:00 pm) at the Ross School of Business. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Over the last two years, all students who have taken the exam have passed!

Project Management is a powerful skill set to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!

REGISTRATION: Please register through iMpact by clicking here:

NOTE: The $500 (for non-Tauber students) or $150 fee (for Tauber students) is non-refundable.

HOSTED BY: Tauber Institute for Global Operations. For questions about this event, please contact tauberinstitute@umich.edu or visit tauber.umich.edu.

What is IPMA Level D® (Certified Project Management Associate)? The IPMA Level D is an internationally recognized entry-level qualification in the area of project management. This designation, which demonstrates the individual's ability to understand the basics of project management, is similar to the exam-oriented, knowledge-based certifications of other major Project Management associations. For many, Level D® is the first step towards a professional project or program manager role. It is the first step in a sequence (C, B and A) to be earned by demonstration of success in larger PM responsibility sets.

STS Speaker. Change Over Time? Fracture and Reconciliation in Natural Science Infrastructure (October 7, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/66596 66596-16767936@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 7, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Science, Technology & Society

Scientists in the natural histories create the frameworks, calendars and infrastructures that allow us to understand and grapple with "deep time" -- but they do so within their own temporally complex scholarly settings: they draw on classification systems that are constantly facing revision and methodological revolution; database systems that simultaneously face forced obsolescence and true decay; and data collections in need of maintenance and migration. In this talk, I consider the rhythms of fracture and reconciliation in the data infrastructure in the natural sciences. This talk draws on Thomer's on-going work with the “Transforming Taxonomic Interfaces” and “Migrating Research Data Collections” projects.

Bio: Andrea Thomer is an assistant professor of information at the University of Michigan School of Information. She conducts research in the areas of data curation, museum informatics, earth science and biodiversity informatics, information organization, and computer supported cooperative work. She is especially interested in how people use and create data and metadata; the impact of information organization on information use; issues of data provenance, reproducibility, and integration; and long-term data curation and infrastructure sustainability. She is studying a number of these issues through the "Migrating Research Data Collections" project - a recently awarded Laura Bush 21st Century Librarianship Early Career Research Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Dr. Thomer received her doctorate in Library and Information Science from the School of Information Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana‐Champaign in 2017.

Talk Title: "Controlling dynamic ensembles: From cells to societies"

Abstract: Natural and engineered systems that consist of populations of isolated or interacting dynamical components exhibit levels of complexity that are beyond human comprehension. These complex systems often require an appropriate excitation, an optimal hierarchical organization, or a periodic dynamical structure, such as synchrony, to function as desired or operate optimally. In many application domains, e.g., neurostimulation in brain medicine and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging in quantum control, control and observation can only be implemented at the population level, through broadcasting a single input signal to all the systems in the population and through collecting aggregated system-level measurements of the population, respectively. These limitations give rise to challenging problems and new control paradigms involving underactuated manipulation of dynamic ensembles. This talk will address theoretical and computational challenges for targeted coordination of both isolated and networked ensemble systems arising in diverse areas at different scales. Both model-based and data-driven approaches for learning, decoding, control, and computation of dynamic structures and patterns in ensemble systems will be presented. Practical control designs, including synchronization waveforms for pattern formation in complex networks and optimal pulses in quantum control, will be illustrated along with their experimental realizations. Lastly, future directions and opportunities in Systems and Controls will be discussed.

Talk Title: "3D genome structure as a tool to understand the impact of somatic and germline sequence variants"

Abstract: The 3-dimensional organization of DNA inside of the nucleus impacts a variety of cellular processes, including gene regulation. Furthermore, it is apparent that somatic structural variants that affect how chromatin is organized in 3D can have a major impact on gene regulation and human disease. However, such structural variants in the context of cancer genomes are abundant, and predicting the consequence of any individual somatic mutation on 3D genome structure and gene expression is challenging. In addition, we are severely limited with regard to tools that can be used to study 3D folding of the genome in vivo in actual human tumor or tissue samples. Our lab has developed several approaches to address these challenges. We have taken a pan-cancer approach to identify loci in the genome that are affected by structural variants that alter 3D genome structure, and we have identified numerous loci with recurrent 3D genome altering mutations. We have also used genome engineering to create novel structural variants to better understand what types of mutations are actually capable of altering 3D genome structure and gene regulation. Finally, we have also developed novel tools to study 3D genome structure in vivo in complex tissue samples. We believe that these approaches will be critical for improving our understanding of how non-coding sequence variants can affect 3D genome structure and gene regulation, with the ultimate goal of understanding how these events affect human physiology.

Every instance of a design process can be represented with a design signature – a tracing of design activities over time that can be represented as a timeline. Design signatures can differ across levels of expertise of the designer(s) in significant ways. These representations have been shown to be effective for teaching undergraduate engineers about the complexities of design processes.

In this talk, I will review the research findings from an analysis of verbal protocols from 177 individuals with a wide range of expertise (from beginning undergrads through expert professionals in industry) who solved 401 separate design problems. We found that individuals with more expertise 1) use processes that demonstrate a higher level of complexity, 2) consider a broader set of information and objects during their design process, 3) spend longer solving the problem they were given, and 4) are more likely to demonstrate a cascade pattern in their tracing across design activities. I will also discuss several teaching activities that are derived from the research.

Talk Title: "Chromatin accessibility signatures of immune system aging"

Abstract: Aging is linked to deficiencies in immune responses and increased systemic inflammation. To unravel regulatory programs behind these changes, we profiled peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from young and old individuals (n=77) using ATAC-seq and RNA-seq technologies and analyzed these data via systems immunology tools. First, we described an epigenomic signature of immune system aging, with simultaneous systematic chromatin closing at promoters and enhancers associated with T cell signaling. This signature was primarily borne by memory CD8+ T cells, which exhibited an aging-related loss in IL7R activity and IL7 responsiveness. More recently to uncover the impact of sex on immune system aging, we studied PBMCs from 194 healthy adults (100 women, 94 men) ranging from 22-93 years old using ATAC-seq, RNA-seq, and flow cytometry technologies. These data revealed a shared epigenomic signature of aging between sexes composed of declines in naïve T cell functions and increases in monocyte and cytotoxic cell functions. Despite similarities, these changes were greater in magnitude in men. Additionally, we uncovered male-specific decreases in expression/accessibility of B-cell associated loci. Trajectory analyses revealed that age-related epigenomic changes were more abrupt at two timepoints in the human lifespan. The first timepoint was similar between sexes in terms of timing (early forties) and magnitude. In contrast, the latter timepoint was earlier (~5 years) and more pronounced in men (mid-sixties versus late-sixties). Unexpectedly, differences between men and women PBMCs increased with aging, with men having higher monocyte and pro-inflammatory activity and lower B/T cell activity compared to women after 65 years of age. Our study uncovered which immune cell functions and molecules are differentially affected with age between sexes, including the differences in timing and magnitude of changes, which is an important step towards precision medicine in older adults.

**Please note, if this room's capacity is exceeded, there will be a simulcast into the next room of talk slides and audio**

Stephanie Forrest is Professor of Computer Science at Arizona State University, where she directs the Biodesign Center for Biocomputation, Security and Society. Her research focuses on the intersection of biology and computation, including cybersecurity, software engineering, and biological modeling.

Abstract:
Software today is a complex adaptive system. Although we think of computer programs as the products of intelligent design, they also evolve inadvertently through the actions of many individual programmers, often leading to unanticipated consequences. Similarly, economic and political incentives produce arms races between competitors and adversaries, which in turn have shaped the cyber landscape.

The talk will give examples of evolution, robustness and diversity in the context of software, describing how these concepts provide new insights and suggest new approaches to problems such as repairing software bugs and cybersecurity. It will present recent results on the mutational robustness of software and describe a new algorithm for bug repair that leverages neutral mutations.

Abstract:

Facial recognition systems are increasingly common components of smartphones and other consumer digital devices. These technologies enable animated video-sharing applications, such as Apple’s animoji and memoji, Facebook Messenger’s masks and filters and Samsung’s AR Emoji. Such animations serve as technical phenomena translating moments of affective and emotional expression into mediated, trackable, and socially legible forms across a variety of social media platforms.

Through technical and historical analysis of these digital artifacts, the talk will explore the ways facial recognition systems classify and categorize racial identities in human faces in relation to emotional expression. Drawing on the longer history of discredited pseudosciences such as phrenology, the paper considers the dangers of both racializing logics as part of these systems of classification, and of how social media data regarding emotional expression gathered through these systems can be used to reinforce systems of oppression and discrimination.

Abstract: Although central architectures drive robust oscillations, biological clock networks containing the same core vary drastically in their potential to oscillate. What peripheral structures contribute to the variation of oscillation behaviors remains elusive. We computationally generated an atlas of oscillators and found that, while certain core topologies are essential for robust oscillations, local structures substantially modulate the degree of robustness. Strikingly, two key local structures, incoherent inputs and coherent inputs, can modify a core topology to promote and attenuate its robustness, additively. These findings underscore the importance of local modifications besides robust cores, which explain why auxiliary structures not required for oscillation are evolutionarily conserved. We further apply this computational framework to search for structures underlying tunability, another crucial property shared by many biological timing systems to adapt their frequencies to environmental changes.

Experimentally, we developed an artificial cell system to reconstitute mitotic oscillatory processes in water-in-oil microemulsions. With a multi-inlet pressure-driven microfluidic setup, these artificial cells are flexibly adjustable in sizes, periods, various molecular and drug concentrations, energy, and subcellular compartments. Using long-term time-lapse fluorescence microscopy, this system enables high-throughput, single-cell analysis of clock dynamics, functions, and stochasticity, key to elucidating the topology-function relation of biological clocks.

We also investigate how multiple clocks coordinate via biochemical and mechanical signals in the essential developmental processes of early zebrafish embryos (e.g., mitotic wave propagation, synchronous embryo cleavages, and somitogenesis). To pin down the physical mechanisms that give rise to these complex collective phenomena, we integrate mathematical modeling, live embryo and explant imaging, nanofabrication, micro-contact printing, and systems and synthetic biology approaches.

Join us Friday, November 8, 2019 from 9:30-11:00 am in Chrysler Center, Room 151 (2121 Bonisteel Blvd, Ann Arbor) for our Design Science Seminar Series with speaker Malcolm McCullough, Ph.D. Dr. McCullough is a Professor of Architecture, Taubman Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan. He is the author of the books Downtime on the Microgrid (forthcoming 2020), Ambient Commons (2013), Digital Ground (2005), and Abstracting Craft (1997) all with the MIT Press.

Whereas “the smart city” has most often been understood as a totality, top-down and always-on, in today’s climate-altered reality more agendas instead need to advance a more locally clustered, adaptive resilience. Otherwise, the most salient aspect of any future smart city is its fragility. While not a report on complexity simulations, this talk reexamines some perhaps-familiar principles of adaptive clustering from three less conventional perspectives.

When an earthquake happens in California today, residents may look to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) for online maps that show the quake's epicenter, turn to Twitter for government bulletins and the latest news, check Facebook for updates fromfriends and family, and hope to count on help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This information order articulates a particular epistemic experience of earthquake for some Americans.

In this talk, I discuss how people produce and circulate information in earthquake publics using a comparative historical lens. I analyze the institutions, policies, and technologies that shape today's post-disaster information landscape, paying close attention to not only the circulationof knowledge, but also to the production of ignorance.

This year is MUSES' 20th year anniversary, and our theme this year is Building a Legacy. On Nov 12th, we will have the pleasure to host a very special guest, Dr. Susan Montgomery, that truly represents what legacy looks like.

Doctor Susan Montgomery has had an important role in mentoring and advising students and student organizations throughout her career. She joined the University of Michigan in 1993 after a two-year postdoc developing educational modules following her PhD from Princeton University. She has taught many courses over the years including ‘Teaching Engineering’ which molds future engineering faculty. She has served as an advisor for undergraduate chemical engineering students, Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE), the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), and Habitat for Humanity. Recently she received the “Achievement Award” at the Willie Hobbs Moore Luncheon, given to an individual in STEM whose achievements encourage and inspire others to achieve their goals. She is in the process of transitioning to phased retirement, and certainly her contributions to our organization and our community at the University of Michigan will be forever remembered.

All are welcome!

When: Nov 12th, at 6pm.
Where: Johnson Room, Lurie Engineering Center (1221 Beal Ave)

As the data tsunami washed over everything including college campuses, universities invested heavily in data management systems and then layered on services to create the highly digitally-engineered environments in which we work today. Within that context, I’ll review the seeding and ongoing nurturing of two U-M services (Atlas and Problem Roulette) that share common themes of access and transparency. As examples of research enabled by these services, I’ll present evidence showing that: (i) on average, females study more for less reward in STEM subjects than male students, and (ii) increased selectivity, as measured by ACT/SAT scores, is a minor factor driving undergraduate grades upward. The talk will close by inviting your thoughts and discussion on potential future directions for these and similar services.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: Prof. August E. (Gus) Evrard is a first-generation computational cosmologist and an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor in the Departments of Physics and Astronomy at U-M. Author of the first algorithm to enable multi-fluid simulation of galaxy and large-scale cosmic structure formation, Prof. Evrard's research is focused on understanding the population of clusters of galaxies, the rarest and largest gravitationally bound systems in the universe. Named a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2012, his research is documented in over 200 refereed papers with 22,000 total citations. Within the Office of Academic Innovation he leads two separate projects, one offering visual summaries of Michigan's recent academic landscape (Atlas) and another providing “points-free” study support using local exam content (Problem Roulette). Both are used by thousands of students each year at U-M.

Talk Title: Reproducibility with high-dimensional data

Abstract: With the expanding generation of large-scale biological datasets, there has been an ever-greater concern in understanding the reproducibility of discoveries and findings in a statistically reliable manner. We review several concepts in reproducibility and describe how one can adopt a multiple testing perspective on the problem. This leads to an intuitive procedure for assessing reproducibility. We demonstrate application of the methodology using RNA-sequencing data as well as metabolomics datasets. We will also outline some further problems in the field.

This is joint work with Daisy Philtron, Yafei Lyu and Qunhua Li (Penn State) and Tusharkanti Ghosh, Weiming Zhang and Katerina Kechris (University of Colorado).

Organized By: Tauber Institute for Global Operations

Once again, the Tauber Institute, in conjunction with the International Project Management Association (IPMA), is sponsoring a Project Management certification class and exam for graduate business and engineering students and staff.

In order to participate, you will need to reflect upon a project management experience (for example: a work project, an engineering design experience/senior capstone, Ross' MAP project, Tauber team project, etc). If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel, MAP, or other another class), the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session.

The cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595, however, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students: $500 and to Tauber students: $150. Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 24 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, April 7 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, October 6 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for November 17, 2019 (11:00 - 3:00 pm) at the Ross School of Business. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Over the last two years, all students who have taken the exam have passed!

Project Management is a powerful skill set to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!

REGISTRATION: Please register through iMpact by clicking here:

Abstract: GWAS of neuropsychiatric diseases have identified many loci, however, causal variants often remain unknown. We performed ATAC-seq in human iPSC-derived neurons, and identified thousands of variants affecting chromatin accessibility. Such variants are highly enriched with risk variants of a range of brain disorders. We computationally fine-mapped causal variants and experimentally tested their activities using CRISPRi followed by single cell RNA-seq. Our work provides a framework for prioritizing noncoding disease variants.

The second part of my talk will be focused on genetics of N6-methyladenosine (m6A), a common form of mRNA modification. m6A plays an important role in regulating various aspects of mRNA metabolism in eukaryotes. However, little is known about how DNA sequence variations may affect the m6A modification and the role of m6A in common diseases. We mapped genetic variants associated with m6A levels in 60 Yoruba lymphoblast cell lines. By leveraging these variants, our analysis provides novel insights of mechanisms regulating m6A installation, and downstream effects of m6A on other molecular traits such as translation rate. Integrated analysis with GWAS data reveals m6A variation as an important mechanism linking genetic variations to complex diseases.

Deep Dive into Digital and Data Methods for Chinese Studies | Incompatible Rights: Gendered Work-Family Conflict under Changing Population Control Programs in Contemporary Urban China (November 21, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68724 68724-17145046@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 21, 2019 11:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library

Free and Open to the Public. Light refreshments will be provided.

Work-family conflict is one of the central foci in gender inequality scholarship. Existing research has mostly considered the conflict as an incompatibility of commitments predominantly experienced by women. In this talk, I capitalize on China’s termination of the one-child policy in 2016, and introduce individuals’ perceived incompatibility of rights as another key dimension. Using a mixed-methods design that combines national surveys and in-depth interviews, I demonstrate that individuals espousing gender egalitarian beliefs, which emphasize women’s right to work over the primacy of women’s roles as wives and mothers, more strongly support the state’s role in limiting births. This support is underlain by the perception and experience that for women, work and family are incompatible beyond competing commitments: The expansion of individuals’ right to parent is viewed as at the expense of women’s right to work. Three interlocking forces underscore individuals’, particularly women’s, perception and experience of work-family conflict as an incompatibility of rights: 1) Macro-level reproductive and family policies that view women foremost as mothers and caregivers, from a state that exerts strong power over its citizens; 2) Meso-level discriminatory labor market conditions with limited recourse for claims-making; and 3) Micro-level gendered division of care work and normative expectations of women’s and men’s roles and responsibilities in marriage, procreating, and parenting.

Have you ever wondered how traffic lights respond in real-time and coordinate to relieve congestion? Have you ever seen highway information boards with travel time estimates and wanted to know where they came from? Or maybe you’ve wondered how emergency responders coordinate to respond to traffic accidents on the highway?

This Friday, 11/22, the Michigan Transportation Student Organization (MiTSO) will be offering a tour of the Oakland County Traffic Operations Center (TOC). The TOC is responsible for monitoring all county intersections in real-time, adjusting traffic lights and coordinating them as necessary to reduce congestion. Additionally, they coordinate with emergency response and law enforcement in order to respond to and clear accidents that block the roads.

The tour will be at 1pm and transportation will be provided. We will be leaving GG Brown at 11:30am and will return by 5pm. More details will be provided closer to the event.

If you are interested in attending, please fill out the google form (https://forms.gle/qakMZ8u2DBotAnj56) by noon on Wednesday (11/20) if you are interested so that we can organize transportation!

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development estimates that by 2050, poor air quality may become the largest cause of premature mortality in the world. This workshop will explore current research and practice in order to identify the gaps and limitations, and to prioritize future activities needed to address this challenge of growing global concern.

The workshop features outstanding individuals from industry; the Environmental Protection Agency; the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; University of Cambridge; and University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

Sponsored by the Center for Wireless Integrated MicroSensing & Systems and the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan, and the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge.

"Anonymous Autonomous" Work in Progress Community Demo (December 13, 2019 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/69738 69738-17392938@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 13, 2019 5:00pm
Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

Anonymous Autonomous is a robotic art installation being developed by Katherine Behar, Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan, together with a team of U-M students. As the Fall 2019 semester draws to a close, we invite the U-M community to meet the team and see the work in progress with live demos of the robots and experimentation in the Duderstadt Center Gallery.

Anonymous Autonomous is an interactive art installation that transforms empty office chairs into driverless cars. The Anonymous Autonomous Work in Progress Community Demo offers viewers a peek under the hood of two development processes—of autonomous control systems and of art installations—both of which are typically hidden in polished black boxes.

In particular, autonomous vehicles are part of a wave of transformative technologies that utilize automation, deskilling, and algorithmic decision-making. These processes are hidden in polished black boxes, where they remain out of sight and out of control for drivers and pedestrians. This hidden development process of algorithmic interactivity is similar to the hidden development process of an art installation, which is typically closed to audiences until the artwork is complete. This community demo opens up a work in progress to the public, and encourages viewers to participate in understanding and shaping algorithmic autonomous control systems.

The artist and student team members will be available to discuss their work on the robots, and demonstrate how they operate. Audience members can reroute the chairs by laying strips of paper that serve as lane markings on the floor, and also debug and tune the algorithms the chair is using to avoid these markings. We invite viewers to step behind the curtain, look under the hood, and engage in an active conversation about questions of automation, deskilling, and algorithmic decision-making.

Work in progress will continue in the gallery Dec 13–20, 2019

This project is supported by an MCubed Project by Christian Sandvig, Irina Aristarkhova, and Stephanie Rosen, a collaboration between Stamps School of Art and Design, the Center for Ethics Society and Computing (ESC), and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

Abstract: Synchronization occurs all around us. It underlies how fireflies flash as one, how human heart cells beat in unison, and how superconductors conduct electricity with no resistance. Synchronization is present in the precision of the cell cycle, and we can explore how breakdown of precision leads to disease. The many unique and fundamental functions of different cell types are achieved over and over independently, through a form of synchronization involving choreography of many proteins and genes. I will share a general historic and descriptive introduction to synchrony, including the classic work of Alan Turing. I will present some new work done jointly with Cleve Moler (MathWorks) and Steve Smale (UC Berkeley), where biology has inspired us to build new mathematical techniques to explore synchrony and its breakdown.

Organized By: Engineering Education Research

Team-based pedagogies are pervasive in higher education, especially in engineering. Some instructors choose group work for logistical reasons, such as “we only have five testbeds.” Others seek to provide a particular student experience: students can teach and learn from each other, they can undertake more complicated projects, and they can develop collaboration skills that will benefit them later in their careers. Whatever the reason for using team-based pedagogies, instructors must be cognizant of team dysfunctions – some of which are invisible to the instructors or even to members of the team – that can affect certain students’ experiences in our classes.

In this talk, I will (1) present evidence that particular groups are more likely to have negative team experiences (and that teamwork is inherently gendered and raced), (2) suggest mechanisms for identifying and remedying some team dysfunctions, and (3) argue that instructors have a moral obligation to critically examine teamwork practices in an attempt to equitably serve our diverse student population.

On Black Technoculture (January 23, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/71326 71326-17817094@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 23, 2020 12:00pm
Location: North Quad
Organized By: Digital Studies Institute

Where does Blackness manifest In the ideology of Western technoculture? Technoculture is the American mythos (Dinerstein 2006) and ideology; a belief system powering the coercive, political, and carceral relations between culture and technology. Once enslaved, historically disenfranchised, never deemed literate, Blackness is understood as the object of Western technical and civilizational practices. This presentation is a critical intervention for internet research and science and technology studies (STS), reorienting Western technoculture’s practices of “race-as-technology” (Chun 2009) to visualize Blackness as technological subjects rather than as “things”. Hence, Black technoculture. Utilizing critical technocultural discourse analysis (Brock 2018), Afro-optimism, and libidinal economic theory, this presentation employs Black Twitter as an exemplar of Black cyberculture: digital practice and artifacts informed by a Black aesthetic.

André Brock is an associate professor of media studies at Georgia Tech. His scholarship examines racial representations in videogames, black women and weblogs, whiteness, blackness, and digital technoculture, as well as innovative and groundbreaking research on Black Twitter. His forthcoming book titled Distributed Blackness: African American Cybercultures will be published with NYU Press in February 2020, offering an innovative approach to understanding Black everyday lives mediated by digital technologies.

Free and open to the public, no RSVP required.

Advances in Artificial Intelligence are being felt throughout society and our economy. Some of the most significant impacts are in the domain of finance, including financial markets, financial services, and the financial system more broadly. Autonomous agents have made major inroads through algorithmic trading in financial markets, and AI methods are playing an increasing role in lending decisions and detecting financial malfeasance. Understanding the implications of AI for finance is important in its own right, and as a case study for AI implications more broadly. Join Michael P. Wellman, the Lynn A. Conway Collegiate Professor of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Michigan, as he discusses Artificial Intelligence & finance, focusing on:

What are the ways that AI may impact finance: present and future?
What are the benefits and risks of AI in finance?
How can we understand and regulate AI systems in finance?
Michael P. Wellman received a PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1988 for his work in qualitative probabilistic reasoning and decision-theoretic planning. For the past 30 years, his research has focused on computational market mechanisms and game-theoretic reasoning methods, with applications in electronic commerce, finance, and cyber-security. He is a Fellow of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence and the Association for Computing Machinery.

Prof. Rada Mihalcea, Director of Michigan AI, will moderate the discussion.

Talk Title: Experimental and computational strategies to aid compound identification and quantitation in metabolomics

Abstract: Over the past two decades, metabolomics as a technique has moved from the primary domain of analytical chemists to more widespread acceptance by biologists, clinicians and bioinformaticians alike. Metabolomics offers systems-level insights into the critical roles small molecules play in routine cellular processes and myriad disease states. However, certain unique analytical challenges remain prominent in metabolomics as compared to the other ‘omics sciences. These include the difficulty of identifying unknown features in untargeted metabolomics data, and challenges maintaining reliable quantitation within lengthy studies that may span multiple laboratories. Unlike genomics and transcriptomics data in which nearly every quantifiable feature is confidently identified as a matter of course, in typical untargeted metabolomics studies over 80% of features are frequently not mapped to a specific chemical compound. Further, although many metabolomics studies have begun to stretch over a timeframe of years, data quantitation and normalization strategies have not always kept up with the requirements for such large studies. Fortunately, both experimental and computational strategies are emerging to tackle these long-standing challenges. We will report on several techniques in development in our laboratory, ranging from chromatographic fractionation and high-sensitivity data acquisition, to computational strategies to aid in tandem mass spectrometric spectral interpretation. These developments serve to facilitate analysis for both experts and novice users, which should ultimately help improve the biological insight and impact gained from metabolomics data.

Automation has been significantly improving safety, efficiency, and throughput in aviation for decades. Automation in autonomous vehicles (AVs) offers similar improvement potential on our streets and highways. Automation on the ground, however, will be far more complex and challenging than in aviation. Given existing skepticism about AVs, crashes that could have been avoided by paying attention to lessons learned in aviation are particularly unfortunate because they will delay implementation of these life-saving technologies. In addition, the AV industry will face many automation challenges that were not encountered in aviation. The transformative changes from AVs will introduce major changes and challenges for federal, state and local governments.

Christopher A. Hart is the founder of Hart Solutions LLP, which specializes in improving safety in a variety of contexts, including the safety of automation in motor vehicles, workplace safety, and process safety in potentially hazardous industries.

Mr. Hart is also Chairman of the Washington Metrorail Safety Commission, a three-jurisdictional agency (MD, VA, DC) that was created to oversee the safety of the Washington area mass transit subway system. He was also asked by the Federal Aviation Administration to lead the Joint Authorities Technical Review that was created bring together the certification authorities of 10 countries, as well as NASA, to review the robustness of the FAA certification of the flight control systems of the Boeing 737 MAX and make recommendations as needed to improve the certification process.

Until February 2018 Mr. Hart was a Member of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). In March, 2015, he was nominated by President Obama and confirmed by the Senate to be Chairman, which he was until March, 2017. Prior to that he was Vice Chairman, after being nominated by President Obama and confirmed by the Senate in 2009 and 2013. The NTSB investigates major transportation accidents in all modes of transportation, determines probable cause, and makes recommendations to prevent recurrences. He was previously a Member of the NTSB in 1990, having been nominated by (the first) President Bush.

Mr. Hart’s previous positions include:
Deputy Director, Air Traffic Safety Oversight Service, Federal Aviation Administration,
Assistant Administrator for System Safety, FAA,
Deputy Administrator for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Deputy Assistant General Counsel to the Department of Transportation,
Managing partner of Hart & Chavers, a Washington, D.C., law firm, and
Attorney with the Air Transport Association.

Mr. Hart has a law degree from Harvard Law School and a Master’s Degree and a Bachelor’s Degree (magna cum laude) in Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University. He is a member of the District of Columbia Bar and the Lawyer-Pilots Bar Association, and he is a pilot with commercial, multi-engine, and instrument ratings.

Abstract:
Learning analytics dashboards (LADs) have emerged from a growing interest in presenting and visualizing students’ learning activities in digital learning environments, and they are growing in popularity for both residential and online courses. Dashboard displays are seen as powerful metacognitive tools, and delivering them to learners is intended to support awareness and decision-making, and trigger self-reflection. Despite their increasing availability, recent meta-reviews of the existing research on LADs have revealed that there are few empirical studies on the impact of dashboards on student motivation, behavior, and skills. In this talk I will present the student dashboard we have designed and tested here at the University at Michigan, called MyLA (My Learning Analytics). In a partnership between the School of Information, School of Education, and the Teaching and Learning group at ITS, we have created a Canvas-integrated dashboard that uses design principles derived from Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) theory combined with a focus on accessible and actionable information. Based data from 10 Winter 2019 courses where MyLA was available, I will describe our early findings about how UM students have used the dashboard, and the relationships between dashboard use with performance and measures of self-regulation.

Abstract:
Normal mechanical function of the heart requires that ATP be continuously synthesized at a hydrolysis potential of roughly -60 kJ mol-1. Yet in both the aging and diseased heart the relationships between cardiac work rate and concentrations of ATP, ADP, and inorganic phosphate are altered. Important outstanding questions are: To what extent do changes in metabolite concentrations that occur in aging and heart disease affect metabolic/molecular processes in the myocardium? How are systolic and diastolic functions affected by changes in metabolite concentrations? Does metabolic energy supply represent a limiting factor in determining physiological maximal cardiac power output and exercise capacity? Does the derangement of cardiac energetics that occurs with heart failure cause exercise intolerance?

To answer these questions, we have developed a multi-physics multi-scale model of cardiac energy metabolism and cardiac mechanics that simulates the dependence of myocardial ATP demand on muscle dynamics and the dependence of muscle dynamics on cardiac energetics. Model simulations predict that the maximal rate at which ATP can be synthesized at free energies necessary to drive physiological mechanical function determine maximal heart rate, cardiac output, and cardiac power output in exercise. Furthermore, we find that reductions in cytoplasmic adenine nucleotide, creatine, and phosphate pools that occur with aging impair the myocardial capacity to synthesize ATP at physiological free energy levels, and that the resulting changes to myocardial energetic status play a causal role in contributing to reductions in maximal cardiac power output with aging. Finally, model predictions reveal that reductions in cytoplasmic metabolite pools contribute to energetic dysfunction in heart failure, which in turn contributes to causing systolic dysfunction in heart failure.

Organized By: Digital Studies Institute

Faced with mounting pressures and repeated, very public crises, social media firms have taken a new tack since 2017: to respond to criticism of all kinds and from numerous quarters (regulators, civil society advocates, journalists, academics and others) by acknowledging their long-obfuscated human gatekeeping workforce of commercial content moderators. Additionally, these acknowledgments have often come alongside announcements of plans for exponential increases to that workforce, which now represents a global network of laborers – in distinct geographic, cultural, political, economic, labor and industrial circumstances – conservatively estimated in the several tens of thousands and likely many times that. Yet the phenomenon of content moderation in social media firms has been shrouded in mystery when acknowledged at all. In this talk, Sarah T. Roberts will discuss the fruits of her decade-long study the commercial content moderation industry, and its concomitant people, practices and politics. Based on interviews with workers from Silicon Valley to the Philippines, at boutique firms and at major social media companies, she will offer context, history and analysis of this hidden industry, with particular attention to the emotional toll it takes on its workers. The talk will offer insights about potential futures for the commercial internet and a discussion of the future of globalized labor in the digital age.


Sarah T. Roberts is an assistant professor of Information Studies at the UCLA School of Education and Information Studies, specializing in Internet culture, social media, and the intersection of media, technology and society. She is founding co-director, along with Dr. Safiya Noble, of the forthcoming UCLA Center for Critical Internet Inquiry.

Roberts researches information work and workers, and is a leading global authority on “commercial content moderation,” the term she coined to describe the work of those responsible for making sure media content posted to commercial websites fit within legal, ethical, and the site’s own guidelines and standards. She is frequently consulted on matters of policy, worker welfare, and governance related to content moderation issues and the broader social media landscape.

She is a 2018 Carnegie Fellow and winner of the 2018 EFF Barlow Pioneer Award in recognition of her work on commercial content moderation.

Organized By: Michigan China Forum

What comes to your mind when you hear the word “Esports”? A billion-dollar empire being built? Causes of addiction and violence? Having come a long way from video gaming, Esports has evolved into a global phenomenon even though controversies persist.

Research shows that 65% of 8-12 years old teenagers play video games for more than 2 hours per day. About 41% of boys think they have spent too much time on video games. Being addicted to video games is only one of many reasons that people are against Esports. From many adults’ perspective, violent, bloody elements in video games are likely to negatively affect teenagers. Hence, Esports is an industry bearing prejudice and stereotypes.

However, as a burgeoning industry, Esports is gaining massive popularity across the globe in recent years. According to Newzoo, revenues of the global Esports industry exceeded $1.1 billion in 2019, which is an increase of 26.7% over the previous year. Asia-Pacific sees the highest proportion of Esports viewership (57%) and the major growth is being witnessed in China. North America is once again the largest Esports market where the major share is contributed by the United States. With more investors, favorable policies, and the potential access to the Olympics, Esports, a new era “gold rush” is redefining the world of games.

From game development, to corporate social responsibility, to higher education, how should Esports navigate the controversies? What factors have contributed to the rise of Esports? What is the future of this industry? Come join us at the Esports panel discussion with Professor Katherine Babiak, Professor Austin Yarger, Ph.D. student Luis Velazquez, Arbor eSports’ president Alexander Ball, and UM Esports program manager Cybbi Barton.

Location: Lurie Robert H. Engin. Ctr
Organized By: Engineering Education Research

Engineering design is complex, where each phase is dependent on the others and iteration occurs with and across these phases. Further, a successful design outcome hinges on foundational work done during the "front-end” of design processes, which includes problem definition, deep needs and stakeholder assessments using design ethnography, requirements development, and idea generation. Research has shown that experts develop both conscious and subconscious design strategies that impact success, and that novices often lack strategies and the ability to successfully implement them. This seminar will discuss investigations of strategies in front-end design, ways these strategies can be translated to design and education tools, and the role of front-end design in broadening recognition of skills that engineering includes.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: Dr. Shanna Daly is an Assistant Professor in Mechanical Engineering in the College of Engineering. She has a B.E. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Dayton and a Ph.D. degree in Engineering Education from Purdue University. Her research characterizes front-end design practices across the student to practitioner continuum, uses these findings to develop tools to support design best practices, and studies the impact of front-end design tools on design success. She focuses on divergent and convergent thinking processes, including concept generation and development and problem space exploration, how to foster creativity in engineering work, and processes to understand social and cultural elements of the contexts in which engineering work occurs and integrate them into decision making. Her studies often involve both professional and educational contexts and collaborations across disciplines with scholars in engineering, education, industrial design, and psychology.

Abstract

Future applications, such as wearable electronics, flexible and transparent displays, or devices for solar energy conversion and storage require materials with more versatility, more integrated functions, and more environmentally responsible processing compared to traditional options (i.e., inorganic semiconductors, like silicon). Organic semiconductors, such as small molecules and polymers, are well-suited to these future requirements; however, their electrical properties and environmental stability are inherently worse. Hybrid materials, such as inorganic nanoparticles embedded within a polymer film, can mitigate the trade-offs that exist for any single material type by combining organic and inorganic semiconductors. For example, hybrid materials can impart multi-functionality, flexibility, transparency, and sustainability to devices based on the interaction of light and matter (i.e., optoelectronic devices) or energy-related devices (e.g., solar cells, supercapacitors, or photo-electrochemical cells). A critically important requirement to realize the promise of hybrid materials for devices is to understand and control thin film deposition. Because hybrid materials are heterogeneous systems containing more than one component, thin-film deposition can be complicated compared to single component films. As a result, the co-deposition of two or more materials with different properties to synthesize a hybrid film with pre-determined functionality is a technological challenge within thin-film engineering. I will describe my research program that investigates hybrid thin film deposition using resonant infrared, matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (RIR-MAPLE) to control structure and properties and to improve the performance of optoelectronic and energy-related devices. I will also reflect on my path to a career in academia and the lessons I have learned along the way.

[POSTPONED] "How the War of 1812 Changed American Cartography" (March 24, 2020 6:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/72731 72731-18068368@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 24, 2020 6:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

*** Update 3/10/20: This lecture has been postponed. It will be rescheduled at a later date. ***

Taking its cue from John Melish’s polemical 1814 title, The Sine Qua Non: a Map of the United States—which ambitiously claimed his map to be indispensable to the point that without it “there is nothing”—this lecture explores the way in which two national crises—the War of 1812 and the Panic of 1819—changed the map industry in the United States and the very design of American maps. Using the career of John Melish as its narrative thread, the talk delves into the politics, economics, and optics of American cartography between 1810 and 1820. Tapping source materials that range from newspapers and account books, to showrooms and eye-popping map designs, it examines the roots of nineteenth-century American map production.

What started out as local rivalries between mapmakers during the War of 1812, quickly made headlines in the news (and in the courts) when cartographers not only challenged existing business models and the way in which maps were consumed, but the very look of maps. The fallout was profound: as established mapmakers, like Samuel Lewis or Abraham Bradley, were quickly eclipsed by a new cohort of ambitious cartographers, it was upstarts like Melish—a total novice in all things cartographic—who not only managed to launch a national brand, but generated maps that would influence the nation’s education and public sphere in new and spectacular ways.

Martin Brückner serves as the Interim Director of the University of Delaware’s Winterthur Program in American Material Culture, as the Co-Director of the Center for Material Culture Studies (CMCS), and as professor in the English department at UD. He earned his M.A. from the Johannes-Gutenberg-Universität Mainz in American Studies and Cultural Geography in his native Germany, and his Ph.D. in English and American Literature from Brandeis University in the United States.

POSTPONED- The Age of Surveillance Capitalism (March 31, 2020 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/71226 71226-17791926@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 31, 2020 7:00pm
Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Digital Studies Institute

Lecture, Book Sales and Signing

In her book The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, scholar and sociologist Shoshana Zuboff posits a detailed examination of the unprecedented power of surveillance capitalism, by which our personal information, monetized and exploited by big tech companies, is then used to predict and shape our behaviors. In this frank and necessarily lucid talk, Zuboff defines the terms of surveillance capitalism as a new economic system, pioneered at Google and later Facebook, in much the same way that mass-production and managerial capitalism were pioneered at Ford and General Motors a century before. Zuboff speaks urgently to our need to protect ourselves in this unprecedented age, and not try to resist or strike in the ways we did a century ago. Google, Amazon and now fallen behemoths like Cambridge-Analytica aren’t going anywhere, but as Zuboff expansively demonstrates, we can create countermeasures to stave off the monopolistic workings of these companies. We have the power to demand more from these seemingly all-powerful corporations. If they want what we provide (data), they in turn will have to change their usage tactics. The citizen desire and the leverage is here, Zuboff argues—and it’s in the companies’ best interests to change. Rather than facing the subject with worry or paranoia, Zuboff argues for us to pay attention, resist habituation, and come up with novel, innovative responses to the issue of surveillance capitalism, as novel a system as we are likely to know.

Once again, the Tauber Institute, in conjunction with the International Project Management Association (IPMA), is sponsoring a Project Management certification class and exam for graduate business and engineering students and staff.

In order to participate, you will need to reflect upon a project management experience (for example a work project, an engineering design experience/senior capstone, Ross' MAP project, Tauber team project, etc). If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel, MAP, or other another class), the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session.

The cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595, however, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students: $500 and to Tauber students: $150. Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 15 (noon - 4:30 pm, Ross R-0420)
Sunday, March 29 (noon - 4:30 pm, Ross R-0420)
Sunday, April 5 (noon - 4:30 pm, Ross R-0420)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for April 26, 2020 (11:00 am) at the Ross School of Business, R-0320. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Over the last two years, all students who have taken the exam have passed!

Project Management is a powerful skillset to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!

POSTPONED to SPRING 2021. Behind Walls, Beyond Discipline: STS and the Carceral State (April 9, 2020 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/71887 71887-17896724@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 9, 2020 2:00pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Science, Technology & Society

Science and technology lie at the heart of the carceral state. Matters of modern law and order rely on state-of-the-art technoscience as ideological and practical resources. Scientific theories about human behavior influence legal interpretations of guilt, sanity, violence, and innocence. Biometric sensors, cameras, tasers, and electronic ankle bracelets surveil, discipline, control, punish, and contain populations. This conference brings together an international group of science and technology studies (STS) scholars—humanists and social scientists who have developed analytic tools and perspectives for systematically understanding the reciprocal relationships between science, technology, politics, and society—to rigorously address one of the major social justice and human rights issues of our times.

This is a two-day conference co-organized by the Program in Science, Technology & Society and the Science, Technology & Public Policy program. Keynote is cosponsored by the African Studies Center.

As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, the AIM Research data privacy panel, originally scheduled for Friday, April 10, will be made virtual in one way or another. The details of a virtual version of this event have yet to be finalized. The previously scheduled date of April 10th should now be treated as flexible. Updates will be shared here when made available.

Staff within the Center for Academic Innovation are working hard to connect with the panelists for this event to provide alternative formats that may include one or more of the following:

- Recorded videos of panelists answering questions sourced by the AIM Research community
- A live Zoom video presentation featuring one or more data privacy panelist
- A written piece(s) on the Center for Academic Innovation blog surrounding data privacy within higher education

Nothing is more important than the health and safety of our students, staff, and guests. As we all work together to minimize the spread of the COVID-19 disease brought on by coronavirus, the Center for Academic Innovation is postponing all upcoming in-person events. We are evaluating each event for potential adjustments in format and date and will reach out again when decisions have been finalized.

We appreciate your understanding during these difficult and uncertain times. We apologize for any inconvenience. You can see the latest information on the status of all upcoming events on our events page.
