Organized By: Department Colloquia

With the invention of lasers, the intensity of a light wave was increased by orders of magnitude over what had been achieved with a light bulb or sunlight. This much higher intensity led to new phenomena being observed, such as violet light coming out when red light went into the material. After Gérard Mourou and I developed chirped pulse amplification, also known as CPA, the intensity again increased by more than a factor of 1,000 and it once again made new types of interactions possible between light and matter. We developed a laser that could deliver short pulses of light that knocked the electrons off their atoms. This new understanding of laser-matter interactions, led to the development of new machining techniques that are used in laser eye surgery or micromachining of glass used in cell phones.

Location: William Clements Library
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

In this Brown Bag lunch talk, Huw Davies will discuss his current research at the Clements Library as recipient of the Howard H. Peckham Fellowship. His research focuses on re-evaluating the history of the British Army in Colonial and Revolutionary America, India, and Europe, 1750-1850.

In the space of seven decades between 1740 and 1810, the British Army fought wars on four continents, producing a unique accumulation of knowledge, experience and ideas about tactics, operations and strategy. Henry Clinton was at the centre of this knowledge network, and had vociferous opinions about how Britain should use its military power.

Davies will present a paper, using research conducted at the Clements Library, to illustrate Clinton’s thinking on war and how he influenced the direction of the British Army. Attendees are welcome to bring a lunch and eat during the presentation.

Cognitive Science Seminar Series (November 18, 2019 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/67489 67489-16864388@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, November 18, 2019 3:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science

Graduate student Stella Hao (Cognition and Cognitive Neuroscience) will give a talk on "Bounded Rationality of Moral Cognition."

ABSTRACT

My work investigates moral cognition (i.e., moral decisions, moral judgments, and moral inferences, Yu, Siegel, \& Crockett, 2011) in the framework of bounded rationality. Moral cognition is not only a reflection of personal values and a gateway for explaining human behaviors, but also a field of work that provides insights relevant to the dynamics of human society and the development of artificial intelligence. Thus, it is extremely important to bridge the gap between morality and human rationality while taking into account the ecology of the environment and the agent. Bounded rationality provides a way to approach decision making research by taking into account how rationality is constrained by the characteristics of the environment and the cognitive limitation of the mind. In this talk, I will provide an overview of the current research on bounded moral cognition and present some empirical results of finding context effects in ethical decision making. Finally, I will present some research goals of my dissertation work.

Cognitive Science Seminar: Task sets serve as boundaries for the congruency sequence effect (December 2, 2019 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/67488 67488-16864387@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, December 2, 2019 3:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science

Psychology PhD student Lauren Grant will present "Task sets serve as boundaries for the congruency sequence effect."

ABSTRACT

Cognitive control processes that enable purposeful behavior are often context-specific. A teenager, for example, may inhibit the tendency to daydream at work but not in the classroom. However, the nature of contextual boundaries for cognitive control processes remains unclear. We therefore revisited an ongoing controversy over whether such boundaries reflect (1) an attentional reset that occurs whenever a context-defining (e.g., sensory) feature changes or (2) a disruption of episodic memory retrieval that occurs only when the updated context-defining feature is linked to a different task set. To distinguish between these hypotheses, we employed a cross-modal distractor-interference task to determine precisely when changing a salient context-defining feature – the sensory modality in which task stimuli appear – bounds control processes underlying the congruency sequence effect (CSE). Consistent with the task set hypothesis, but not with the attentional reset hypothesis, Experiments 1 and 2 revealed that changing the sensory modality in which task stimuli appear eliminates the CSE only when the task structure enables participants to form modality-specific task sets. Experiment 3 further revealed that such “modality-specific” CSEs are associated with orienting attention to the sensory modality in which task stimuli appear, which may facilitate the formation of a modality-specific task set. These findings support the view that task sets serve as boundaries for the CSE.

Organized By: CRLT-Engin

Research shows that when students worry about fulfilling a negative stereotype related to certain social identities, it can hurt their learning (a phenomenon known as stereotype threat). Research also shows that an instructor’s beliefs about their own and their students’ intelligence and ability impact the classroom environment. In this interactive session, participants will reflect on instructor and student social identities and learn about strategies for mitigating stereotype threat, impostor syndrome, and encouraging a growth mindset for students in their classes.

Organized By: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Watch for updates later this year.

The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan is pleased to present Natural History Collections: Drivers of Innovation, an exciting symposium about innovative and unconventional uses of biological collections across scientific disciplines. The symposium events will take place from the 13-15 March 2020, on the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

When biologists think of natural history collections, most tend to think of taxonomy and systematics, yet many are unaware of the uses of biological collections beyond those traditional fields. These studies span the breadth of the tree of life and address broad subjects that span comparative genomics to bioengineering and climate change to historical pathogen dynamics, among many, many more. As stewards of one of the largest university-based biological collections in the world, we are in an extraordinary position to leverage our holdings of biological material from the last century or more. We envision this symposium as a way to showcase the often-unrealized opportunities and non-traditional avenues of research that our collections make possible to the entire scientific community, and emphasize some of the interdisciplinary ways in which our collections are being or could be used. We hope to foster a broader understanding and expanded use of an incomparable resource that the University of Michigan has cultivated for the past two hundred years.

The symposium will feature both established and novel uses of natural history collections across a wide range of taxonomic groups, systems, and time. Our goal is to create a program with contributions from all corners of ecology and evolutionary biology. The program will include two keynote talks by senior speakers and additional talks by early-career speakers.

KEYWORDS: Ribozymes, RNase P, RNase MRP, ribonucleoprotein complexes, RNA-driven protein remodelling

ABSTRACT: Ribonuclease (RNase) P is a ribozyme-based catalytic ribonucleoprotein complex involved primarily in the maturation of tRNA in all three domains of life. In the course of evolution, the size and complexity of RNase P grew as the catalytic RNA moiety recruited additional protein components. In eukaryotes, the RNase P lineage has split, giving rise to a related RNP enzyme called RNase MRP, which shares multiple structural features (including most of the protein components) with the eukaryotic RNase P, but has a distinct and non-overlapping specificity. We report the recently solved cryo-EM structure of the 450 kDa yeast RNase MRP holoenzyme and compare it with the structure of its progenitor RNP, RNase P. We show that, surprisingly, several of the proteins shared by RNase MRP and RNase P undergo RNA-driven structural remodeling, allowing the same proteins to function in distinct structural contexts. This remodeling, combined with altered peripheral RNA elements, results in the functional diversification of the two closely related RNPs, in spite of the structural conservation of the nearly identical catalytic cores, demonstrating structural underpinnings of the acquisition of new functions by catalytic RNPs.

ABSTRACT: Macrocyclic peptides possess a number of pharmacological characteristics distinct from other well-established therapeutic molecular classes, resulting in a versatile drug modality with a unique profile of advantages. Macrocyclic peptides are accessible by not only chemical synthesis but also ribosomal synthesis. Particularly, recent inventions of the genetic code reprogramming integrated with an in vitro display format, referred to as RaPID (Random non-standard Peptides Integrated Discovery) system, have enabled us to screen mass libraries (>1 trillion members) of non-standard peptides containing multiple non-proteinogenic amino acids, giving unique properties of peptides distinct from conventional peptides, e.g. greater proteolytic stability, higher affinity (low nM to sub nM dissociation constants similar to antibodies), and superior pharmacokinetics. The field is rapidly growing evidenced by increasing interests from industrial sectors, including small start-ups as well as mega-pharmas, toward drug development efforts on macrocyclic peptides, which has led to several de novo discovered peptides entering clinical trials. This lecture discusses the aforementioned screening technology involving the method of “genetic code reprogramming” powered by flexizymes, and several showcases of therapeutic potentials of macrocyclic peptides.

Please join the Education Policy Initiative in welcoming Hirokazu Yoshikawa, the Courtney Sale Ross Professor of Globalization and Education at NYU Steinhardt and a University Professor at NYU, and Co-Director (with J. Lawrence Aber) of the Global TIES for Children center at NYU, for a virtual education policy talk. Professor Yoshikawa is a core faculty member of the Psychology of Social Intervention and Human Development and Social Intervention programs at Steinhardt. He is a fellow of the National Academy of Education and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He will discuss Global TIES for Children's research on young children's development in humanitarian settings, including young children affected by the Rohingya and Syrian crises.

About the Sesame Workshop / International Rescue Committee and BRAC Refugee Response project (Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, and Bangladesh):

In two historic partnerships aimed at changing how education is valued and delivered in humanitarian crises, Sesame Workshop, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and BRAC have launched the largest early-childhood intervention in the history of humanitarian response with groundbreaking grants from the MacArthur Foundation and LEGO Foundation. In homes, centers, and other settings, Sesame Workshop, the IRC and BRAC are bringing playful lessons and nurturing care to thousands of displaced children in Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and Lebanon, with millions more reached through television and mobile devices. Additionally, Sesame is partnering with BRAC to support children affected by the Rohingya refugee crisis, bringing early education grounded in the power of play to hundreds of thousands of children in and around the massive refugee settlement at Cox’s Bazar. Learn more about the historic Global TIES partnerships and Sesame Workshop intervention work.

This event is sponsored by the Education Policy Initiative and co-sponsored by the Ford School, the School of Education, and Equity in Early Learning Lab. Free and open to the public, but RSVP required.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for RNA Biomedicine

ZOOM REGISTRATION REQUIRED: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_y9HTFl5RSOSJTJ5qtlhVcw

Keywords: mRNA regulation, noncoding RNA, RNA Structure, RNP granules

Abstract:
Chase Weidmann, Ph.D. has contributed broadly to the field of RNA Biology during his career, studying mechanisms of codon bias during translation, post-transcriptional regulation of mRNAs by RNA-binding proteins, the folding of long non-coding RNAs, and how RNA-protein interaction networks contribute to the function and assembly of functional RNP particles. Chase developed a chemical probing strategy and next-gen sequencing technology, called RNP-MaP, that maps the location of and cooperation between multi-protein networks on RNAs in live cells. Going forward, Chase is interested in understanding how alterations in RNA-binding protein profiles, a cell’s “RBPome”, confer deleterious activities onto noncoding RNAs in human disease, especially in cancer. To further empower this work and his future research program, Chase is now generating and integrating protein mass spectrometry data into his RBPome projects.

ZOOM REGISTRATION REQUIRED: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_CcI2trSATJy47aGtwrzhew

Abstract: The life-cycle of RNA from transcription to translational regulation is mediated by a diverse (>2000) set of proteins called RNA binding proteins. My lab studies the many roles that RNA binding proteins have in affecting RNA expression, splicing, transport and translation. Through our studies on RNA processing, we have introduced therapeutic strategies to treat neurodegenerative and muscular diseases, built cellular models of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases and developed experimental and computational tools that enable the community to probe RNA binding protein-RNA interactions at scale. I will discuss (1) our established and new technologies to identify RNA targets of human RBPs at scale, (2) systematic assays to assign molecular roles to RBPs and (2) functional screens to identify RBPs implicated in cancer / RNA granule formation.
