Science Forum Demo: Counting Cells (July 21, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/63860 63860-15953676@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, July 21, 2019 11:00am
Location: Biological Sciences Building
Organized By: Museum of Natural History

Join us in the Science Forum for 15-20 minute engaging science demonstrations that will help you see the world around you in a whole new way. Demonstrations are appropriate for visitors ages 5 and above.

The human body is made of more than 37 trillion cells. Most of them need to be replaced every couple of months, weeks, or sometimes in the course of only a few days. Our cells grow and divide constantly to get this massive job done. But how do cells replicate themselves? How do things move in, out, and around the cell, and into new cells? Join us as we explore how our bodies carry out this massive process. We will learn about cell structure and division and observe cells up-close and in action!
Funded by the National Science Foundation.

The U-M Museum of Natural History will coordinate a community art project in the Art Activity Zone at the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair. Participants will create a mural using recycled plastic caps and lids that will be on display in the museum this fall. The mural, C.A.P.S. (Community Awareness of Plastic Solutions), will highlight the issue of plastics in our waterways and actions that we can all take to protect our rivers, lakes and streams. Feel free to bring your recycled plastic caps from home or use the provided caps to help us complete the project.

Constraining Neutrino Properties with the Cosmic Microwave Background (July 25, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/64422 64422-16346367@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, July 25, 2019 12:00pm

Organized By: Department Colloquia

Neutrinos are one half of the leptons included in the standard model of particle physics yet some of their properties are the most poorly constrained aspects of the standard model. Neutrinos are also important in the cosmological standard model due to their suppression of the growth of structure at small angular scales and their influence on the evolution of early universe. The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is one of the best probes we have at observing the effects of neutrinos on the growth of large scale structure and by observing those effects we in turn can place tight constraints on two elusive properties of neutrinos, the sum of their masses and the number of different species. In my talk I’ll introduce both properties of the neutrino and the CMB, the effects neutrinos have on large scale structure that leave imprints on the CMB, current and future missions to observe those effects, and my experimental contributions to those missions.

Join us in the Science Forum for 15-20 minute engaging science demonstrations that will help you see the world around you in a whole new way. Demonstrations are appropriate for visitors ages 5 and above.

The human body is made of more than 37 trillion cells. Most of them need to be replaced every couple of months, weeks, or sometimes in the course of only a few days. Our cells grow and divide constantly to get this massive job done. But how do cells replicate themselves? How do things move in, out, and around the cell, and into new cells? Join us as we explore how our bodies carry out this massive process. We will learn about cell structure and division and observe cells up-close and in action!

The human body is made of more than 37 trillion cells. Most of them need to be replaced every couple of months, weeks, or sometimes in the course of only a few days. Our cells grow and divide constantly to get this massive job done. But how do cells replicate themselves? How do things move in, out, and around the cell, and into new cells? Join us as we explore how our bodies carry out this massive process. We will learn about cell structure and division and observe cells up-close and in action!

Location: Biological Sciences Building
Organized By: Planetarium & Dome Theater at the Museum of Natural History

Intended for young children, Larry Cat In Space is a playful, imaginative cartoon presentation about an inquisitive cat who takes a trip to the Moon. Through Larry's eyes, we observe his human family, and his owner Diana. Larry hides in Diana’s suitcase as she travels to her job on the Moon and experiences weightlessness. Once on the Moon, Larry observes how the Earth looks a lot like the Moon did from his porch back home.

The state-of-the-art Planetarium & Dome Theater at the U-M Museum of Natural History transports visitors beyond distant stars and back in time from the comfort of reclining seats. Tickets $8. Tickets are available on the day of the show at the Museum Store.

The Spin Polarization History Mystery; or, History-Dependent Dynamic Nuclear Polarization in Gallium Arsenide (August 1, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/64674 64674-16426866@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, August 1, 2019 12:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Department Colloquia

Electron spin has great potential for use in electronic device applications. To that end, our research group focuses on using optical pump-probe techniques to study electron spin dynamics in semiconductor materials. My current project began with an observation of an unexpected dependence of electron spin polarization in gallium arsenide on external magnetic field history. In this talk, I will recount this mystery and how we have set out to solve it. Join me as we search for clues and interrogate the prime suspect, dynamic nuclear polarization. Along the way, I will introduce the key concepts vital to understanding our experiments. Together, we will unravel the mystery of an unexpected spin phenomenon in gallium arsenide as I present a tale of intrigue and spin dynamics.

Join us in the Science Forum for 15-20 minute engaging science demonstrations that will help you see the world around you in a whole new way. Demonstrations are appropriate for visitors ages 5 and above.

The human body is made of more than 37 trillion cells. Most of them need to be replaced every couple of months, weeks, or sometimes in the course of only a few days. Our cells grow and divide constantly to get this massive job done. But how do cells replicate themselves? How do things move in, out, and around the cell, and into new cells? Join us as we explore how our bodies carry out this massive process. We will learn about cell structure and division and observe cells up-close and in action!

Join us in the Science Forum for 15-20 minute engaging science demonstrations that will help you see the world around you in a whole new way. Demonstrations are appropriate for visitors ages 5 and above.

The human body is made of more than 37 trillion cells. Most of them need to be replaced every couple of months, weeks, or sometimes in the course of only a few days. Our cells grow and divide constantly to get this massive job done. But how do cells replicate themselves? How do things move in, out, and around the cell, and into new cells? Join us as we explore how our bodies carry out this massive process. We will learn about cell structure and division and observe cells up-close and in action!

The human body is made of more than 37 trillion cells. Most of them need to be replaced every couple of months, weeks, or sometimes in the course of only a few days. Our cells grow and divide constantly to get this massive job done. But how do cells replicate themselves? How do things move in, out, and around the cell, and into new cells? Join us as we explore how our bodies carry out this massive process. We will learn about cell structure and division and observe cells up-close and in action!
