SMTD+CWPS, a new partnership between the School of Music, Theatre & Dance and the Center for World Performance Studies will present an interactive performance that weaves together live original music, dance, video projection and original artwork. Part performance, meditation, and ritual, *Ancestral Haiku* explores Black Ancestry, the Middle Passage, and engages the work of poet/scholar Mursalata Muhammad. Detroit jazz legend Marion Hayden and Legacy join dance artist and U-M faculty Robin Wilson, with artwork and video installation by M. Saffell Gardner.

*Ancestral Haiku* also considers spiritual restitution as a way to alleviate spiritual suffering and begin the process of community healing. In particular, the use of buttons in visual media, soundscape and as interactive objects reflect West African religious practices carried over to African-American slave culture. Seen as objects of ritual and meaning, buttons connect the ancestral world with our own.

The Bass speaks in the hands of Marion Hayden. Mentored by master trumpeter Marcus Belgrave; Hayden began performing jazz at the age of 15. She has performed with such diverse luminaries as Bobby McFerrin, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Geri Allen, Regina Carter, Steve Turre, David Allen Grier, James Carter and Nancy Wilson.

Her creative practice centers around her ensemble Legacy which performs original and narrative driven compositional works within the framework of improvised music with an emphasis on African diasporic music and Detroit composers. She is a co-founder of the Grammy nominated ensemble Straight Ahead- the first all-woman jazz ensemble signed to Atlantic Records.

Widely recognized as an advocate for the preservation of cultural and artistic legacy, Hayden was honored with the prestigious Kresge Artist Fellowship, the Spirit of Detroit Award and the 2022 Ron Brooks Award from the Southeast Michigan Jazz Assoc. She has served as Panelist or Consultant for Chamber Music America, the McKnight Foundation, Charles Wright Museum of African American History and South Arts. A passionate educator, Hayden holds jazz faculty positions at University of Michigan, Oakland University and the Geri Allen Jazz Camp- the first all-woman jazz residency.

Robin Wilson sees teaching, artmaking, and activism as easy companions – giving voice to untold stories and giving tools for others to speak their truth. She sees no contradiction between making art, teaching others to discover the artist within, teaching others to understand their history and connection to the greater good and being an advocate for the arts and communities. A founding member of New York’s Urban Bush Women, Robin is a Professor of Dance at the University of Michigan with an MFA in Choreography from Temple University. Her work explores the influences of the African Diaspora in historical and contemporary dance/culture, public scholarship and social justice through community engagement, and most recently, documenting the oral histories of black dancers in Harlem during the Black Arts Movement of the early 1970s.

Her recent collaborations include What We Ask Of Flesh with INSPIRIT: A Dance Company at Jacob’s Pillow and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Shattered Globes: For Tamara 2020 at the Detroit Dance City Festival and the Midwest RAD Festival and Ancestral Haiku with Detroit bassist Marion Hayden and visual artist Saffell Gardner at the Sidewalk Detroit Festival.

In 1992, Wilson received a New York Dance and Performance “Bessie” Award as a former member of Urban Bush Women for her collective work on the company’s dances River Songs (1984) and Praise House (1990). She continues to perform and collaborate with artists across cultures, bridging communities through dance and scholarship and activism.

M. Saffell Gardner was born in Detroit, Michigan and holds BFA and MFA degrees in painting from Wayne State University. A sculptor, painter and educator, Gardner’s work uses bold forms and personal iconography in centering themes of African American identity, ritual and ancestry. In recognition of his artistic creativity and originality, Gardner was honored with the Kresge Artist Fellowship, a prestigious award to a distinguished group of visual and performing artists.

As a sculptor, Gardner’s work has been described as “visually stunning” and “regal”. “Sankofa” a 12’ sculpture celebrating the Ghanaian concept of “bringing the knowledge of the past forward” has been exhibited at the Chelsea Art Walk, Chelsea, MI, 2020-21 and the Krasl Biennial at the Box Factory in St. Joseph, MI, 2022-23. His sculpture “Lost Kings” was included in the 2021 Regional Biennial at the Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum.

If you require accommodation to participate in this event, please contact the Center for World Performance Studies, at 734-936-2777 or cwps.information@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit features various aspects of the Native North American powwow. More specifically, it features the history and culture behind Ann Arbor’s "Dance for Mother Earth Powwow," which is approaching its much-anticipated 50th celebration.

The Dance for Mother Earth Powwow is a multi-decade, intertribal celebration of Indigenous cultures. It grew from its early beginnings as a small gathering in a field just outside of Ann Arbor into one of the largest student-led powwows in North America. The event attracts crowds of thousands — dancers, singers, artists, tribal members from across the country, and non-Indigenous members of the community.

Stop by to learn more about The Dance for Mother Earth Powwow, modern Indigenous culture, and resources to connect to today on campus.

This exhibition was curated by Michigan Library Scholar interns, Allison Jiang and Andrea Medina. The Michigan Library Scholars internship program provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to research and develop a capstone project under the guidance of experienced library professionals at one of the largest academic research libraries in the world.

A Perfect Pairing of Cookbooks and Dinnerware (September 24, 2022 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/95818 95818-21791016@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, September 24, 2022 10:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

A dozen selections from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive from our Special Collections Research Center have been perfectly paired with dishes from the International Museum of Dinnerware Design to provide a feast for the eyes.

A “perfect pairing” usually refers to a taste compatibility between wine and a food group, such as wine and cheese. For example, some believe a perfect pairing would be Cabernet with duck confit with turnips or Pinot Noir with bison rib eye steaks with roasted garlic — wines with sauces, spicy food, hors d’oeurvres, etc. But other things can be perfectly paired such as fruit and cheese, a couple, or a clothing selection.

Sometimes pairs are made more perfect when they are catalysts for the imagination. That is what curators Margaret Carney, Ph.D., and Juli McLoone are serving in "A Perfect Pairing of Cookbooks and Dinnerware." The right ingredients along with an inspired recipe creates a delicious and beautiful meal that is enhanced when the cuisine is presented on a thoughtfully curated table setting, or, we hope, in a thoughtfully curated exhibit. Bon Appetit!

Organized By: University Library

A dozen selections from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive from our Special Collections Research Center have been perfectly paired with dishes from the International Museum of Dinnerware Design to provide a feast for the eyes.

A “perfect pairing” usually refers to a taste compatibility between wine and a food group, such as wine and cheese. For example, some believe a perfect pairing would be Cabernet with duck confit with turnips or Pinot Noir with bison rib eye steaks with roasted garlic — wines with sauces, spicy food, hors d’oeurvres, etc. But other things can be perfectly paired such as fruit and cheese, a couple, or a clothing selection.

Sometimes pairs are made more perfect when they are catalysts for the imagination. That is what curators Margaret Carney, Ph.D., and Juli McLoone are serving in "A Perfect Pairing of Cookbooks and Dinnerware." The right ingredients along with an inspired recipe creates a delicious and beautiful meal that is enhanced when the cuisine is presented on a thoughtfully curated table setting, or, we hope, in a thoughtfully curated exhibit. Bon Appetit!

How to Become a Fossil
Explore how fossils form and what parts of animals can become fossilized! How old are the earliest fossils? How old does something have to be before it is considered a fossil? You’ll touch some real fossils, learn the different types of fossil evidence, and discover what is necessary to become a fossil. Finally, we’ll discuss what kinds of things fossils can tell us, and how fossil casts are made in the museum!

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit features various aspects of the Native North American powwow. More specifically, it features the history and culture behind Ann Arbor’s "Dance for Mother Earth Powwow," which is approaching its much-anticipated 50th celebration.

The Dance for Mother Earth Powwow is a multi-decade, intertribal celebration of Indigenous cultures. It grew from its early beginnings as a small gathering in a field just outside of Ann Arbor into one of the largest student-led powwows in North America. The event attracts crowds of thousands — dancers, singers, artists, tribal members from across the country, and non-Indigenous members of the community.

Stop by to learn more about The Dance for Mother Earth Powwow, modern Indigenous culture, and resources to connect to today on campus.

This exhibition was curated by Michigan Library Scholar interns, Allison Jiang and Andrea Medina. The Michigan Library Scholars internship program provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to research and develop a capstone project under the guidance of experienced library professionals at one of the largest academic research libraries in the world.

Sign up for a free series of self-defense workshops!

Aiming to equip the incoming students with the skills to increase their self-confidence and preparedness for the unexpected, the Engineering Student Government (ESG) in partnership with UofM Division of Public Safety & Security (DPSS) is setting out with a newly established SaferSelf project. Starting on September 12th and running until October 10th a series of free empowerment self-defense workshops will be held weekly on Mondays from 5:30pm to 6:30pm on Central Campus (exact location TBD).

Empowerment self-defense sessions explore the culture of violence, and teach concrete but practical effective skills for personal safety and physical self defense in a wide variety of contexts ranging from harassment to sexual assault. Participants will be able to:
- understand how situational awareness can deter or prevent an attack.
- use verbal skills for assertive communication.
- evade and set boundaries (verbal & physical).
- use practical options to make ourselves more comfortable when uncomfortable situations occur.
- recognize and interrupt unwanted behavior when in social situations, interpersonal/intimate relationships as well as interactions with strangers.

The series will be composed of the following workshops:
1. Introduction to physical self-defense: 1.5hr
2. Physical self-defense with strikes and kicks with pads: 1hr
3. Physical self-defense with boxing element combination striking: 1h
4. Top-to-bottom pressure points: 1hr
5. Physical self-defense from the ground: 1hr

Face masks will be required regardless of vaccination status.

The space in the program is limited, and last spots are available. To register, please fill out this form (https://forms.gle/xyzuP9rgZnzYGWDy7) by 11:59 pm on Friday September 2nd. The form will close sooner if capacity is reached before then.

Organized By: University Library

A dozen selections from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive from our Special Collections Research Center have been perfectly paired with dishes from the International Museum of Dinnerware Design to provide a feast for the eyes.

A “perfect pairing” usually refers to a taste compatibility between wine and a food group, such as wine and cheese. For example, some believe a perfect pairing would be Cabernet with duck confit with turnips or Pinot Noir with bison rib eye steaks with roasted garlic — wines with sauces, spicy food, hors d’oeurvres, etc. But other things can be perfectly paired such as fruit and cheese, a couple, or a clothing selection.

Sometimes pairs are made more perfect when they are catalysts for the imagination. That is what curators Margaret Carney, Ph.D., and Juli McLoone are serving in "A Perfect Pairing of Cookbooks and Dinnerware." The right ingredients along with an inspired recipe creates a delicious and beautiful meal that is enhanced when the cuisine is presented on a thoughtfully curated table setting, or, we hope, in a thoughtfully curated exhibit.

A dozen selections from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive from our Special Collections Research Center have been perfectly paired with dishes from the International Museum of Dinnerware Design to provide a feast for the eyes.

A “perfect pairing” usually refers to a taste compatibility between wine and a food group, such as wine and cheese. For example, some believe a perfect pairing would be Cabernet with duck confit with turnips or Pinot Noir with bison rib eye steaks with roasted garlic — wines with sauces, spicy food, hors d’oeurvres, etc. But other things can be perfectly paired such as fruit and cheese, a couple, or a clothing selection.

Sometimes pairs are made more perfect when they are catalysts for the imagination. That is what curators Margaret Carney, Ph.D., and Juli McLoone are serving in "A Perfect Pairing of Cookbooks and Dinnerware." The right ingredients along with an inspired recipe creates a delicious and beautiful meal that is enhanced when the cuisine is presented on a thoughtfully curated table setting, or, we hope, in a thoughtfully curated exhibit. Bon Appetit!

ABSTRACT:
Synthetic biology (SB) is one of the most promising fields of research for the 21st century. SB offers powerful new ways to improve human health, build the global economy, manufacture sustainable materials, and address climate change. However, current access to SB-enabled breakthroughs is unequal, largely due to bottlenecks in infrastructure and education. Here, I describe our efforts to re-think the way we engineer biology using cell-free systems to address these bottlenecks. We show how the ability to readily store, distribute, and activate low-cost, freeze-dried cell-free systems by simply adding water has opened new opportunities for on-demand biomanufacturing of vaccines for global health, point-of-care diagnostics for environmental safety, and education for SB literacy and citizenship. By integrating cell-free systems with artificial intelligence (AI), we also show the ability to accelerate the production of carbon-negative platform chemicals. Looking forward, advances in engineering tools and new knowledge underpinning the fundamental science of living matter will ensure that SB helps solve humanity’s most pressing challenges.

Using Traffic Signals to Decongest Cities May Be Simpler Than We Thought (September 29, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97794 97794-21795141@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 29, 2022 1:30pm
Location: Transportation Research Institute
Organized By: Center for Connected and Automated Transportation

This presentation focuses on two well-known means of re-timing ordinary traffic signals to mitigate city-street traffic congestion. The first entails synchronizing green times on 4-way (i.e., all-directional) street grids. The second involves re-timing the signals that reside along cordon lines, to meter vehicle inflows during the morning rush. We show that, in both cases, simple strategies can perform remarkably well. The lecture will offer next steps toward real-world implementation.

To synchronize green times, Professor Cassidy's team use common phase durations for all signals on a grid, rather than optimize each signal’s timing plan to suit local conditions. This simple idea enables them to exploit features of perfectly orthogonal grids to synchronize all signals on the grid in two orthogonal (e.g., northbound, and westbound) travel directions. As a result, drivers headed toward clustered workplaces in the morning rush, and away from those workplaces in the evening, can enjoy exceptionally good signal progression over their entire trips, even when their paths entail two directions. One synchronization mode is used for undersaturated conditions when queues dissipate during green times; another is used when conditions become oversaturated with long residual queues; and the team's strategy toggles promptly between these two synchronization modes, as measurable conditions on the grid change over time. Simulations of numerous scenarios indicate that our simple, adaptive strategy dramatically outperforms other synchronization schemes, including complicated ones and those viewed as gold standards. Importantly, the presentation also shows that their strategy can be easily modified to perform well on irregular, real-world street grids.

As regards cordon metering, they fill a gaping hole in the literature by providing logical and easy-to-follow rules on how exactly to place cordons around clustered workplaces. Simulations show that the simple rules hold for varying congestion levels and regional configurations, and that following the rules can be impactful, especially when cities become severely congested.

Yet since then, she’s embarked on a lifetime’s worth of adventure: she’s lived abroad in France and mastered the French language, served a year in AmeriCorps, road-tripped up and down the U.S. as a tour manager, settled back into her hometown of Chicago, and has quickly climbed the corporate ladder to her current position as Senior Manager of Marketing Operations at PandaDoc. Michelle says “I've always found myself at the intersection of creativity and pragmatism, which translates to dreaming big and being able to accomplish it with a concrete action plan.” Now she is ready to share with LSA students how she identifies action plans for herself, leans into the mentors in her network, and uses her writing skills to effectively communicate in the corporate world.

About Michelle:

Michelle is involved in organizations such as Chicago Innovation’s Women’s Mentoring Co-Op, in addition to being a multimedia content creator and a chronic foodie. In her free time, she likes thru-hiking, traveling, and D&D.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit features various aspects of the Native North American powwow. More specifically, it features the history and culture behind Ann Arbor’s "Dance for Mother Earth Powwow," which is approaching its much-anticipated 50th celebration.

The Dance for Mother Earth Powwow is a multi-decade, intertribal celebration of Indigenous cultures. It grew from its early beginnings as a small gathering in a field just outside of Ann Arbor into one of the largest student-led powwows in North America. The event attracts crowds of thousands — dancers, singers, artists, tribal members from across the country, and non-Indigenous members of the community.

Stop by to learn more about The Dance for Mother Earth Powwow, modern Indigenous culture, and resources to connect to today on campus.

This exhibition was curated by Michigan Library Scholar interns, Allison Jiang and Andrea Medina. The Michigan Library Scholars internship program provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to research and develop a capstone project under the guidance of experienced library professionals at one of the largest academic research libraries in the world.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Information and Technology Services (ITS)

Heartfulness Guided Meditation is a weekly, drop-in program designed to help you nourish your spirit and heal your body and mind.

All U-M students, faculty, and staff are welcome to participate in guided meditation practice with a trainer every Friday at noon over Zoom (details to join are provided below). No prior experience with meditation is required.

Advanced Wellness techniques are taught on the first Friday of the Month and that session will be about 45 mins.

*What will you learn?*

The guided meditation practice involves three simple steps: relaxation, rejuvenation, and meditation.

Relaxation brings your body to a calm, steady posture creating a stillness at the physical level, and prepares the mind for meditation. We follow this with a rejuvenation method to detox the mind to let go of stress and complex emotions, and will leave you feeling light and refreshed. Lastly, learning to meditate by being mindful of your heart will connect you with yourself by listening to your heart’s voice.

*Why Meditate?*

While physical fitness keeps our bodies in shape, meditation is an exercise for the mind and mental wellness. In addition to the measurable benefits mentally and physically, many people benefit from an unquantifiable inner poise and harmony.

*Event Details*

While she was on campus, Chelsea worked with the Ross portion of the U-M Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion strategic plan, acted in the first year orientation show with Educational Theatre Company, and co-led the Black-Asian Coalition. Upon graduation Chelsea went into consulting with Ernst & Young (EY), and soon after, a role on EY’s corporate responsibility team.

About Chelsea:

Chelsea is an all-rounder, completing a dual degree at U-M in International Studies and Business Administration (‘19) which she uses to make change in her personal and professional spheres. Serving as the Inclusion & Collaboration Development Specialist at Cisco, Chelsea describes herself as a strategist-idealist whose purpose is to do world-changing work with life-changing people. Her day job is powering inclusive futures for all at Cisco and the rest of the time, she supports human rights leaders in Myanmar and beyond, advocates for racial justice, and tries (unsuccessfully) to become a morning person.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

To commemorate the launch of a new iteration of the Places & Spaces exhibit currently on display in the Clark Library, Katy Börner presents on "Science Maps and Macroscopes."

The exhibit showcases innovative approaches to data visualization, critical for making sense of the large streams of data we confront on a daily basis. It provides examples of data visualizations that delight the eyes, engage the viewer, and impart vast amounts of information in a focused, accessible format. 

Dr. Katy Börner, professor of information science at Indiana University in Bloomington, uses visualization techniques to study the structure of scientific ontologies and the systems through which scientific collaboration is carried out. Börner is the curator of "Places and Spaces: Mapping Science," a comprehensive exhibit mapping ideas, organizations, and infrastructures in science and technology.

Connecting Currents - Women of the Rivers (September 30, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/96796 96796-21793319@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 30, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Connecting Currents: Women of the Rivers is an artistic exploration inspired by the healing properties of water: reflection, release, and restoration. This production examines the impacts of water on the “brown” feminine mind, body, and spirit. The experience features dance, poetry, audience participation, vendors, live music from Monica Blaire, Class Act Band, DJ Medusa and more.

Water has impacted people of the African Diaspora for centuries. From the transatlantic slave trade, whites only swimming pools of the Jim Crow, the use of water hoses to subdue peaceful protestors during the Civil Rights Era, and recently with residential water shut offs and the ongoing Flint water crisis; water has been the involuntary contributor to separation, distress and hardship for many people of the African Diaspora. Inspired by the healing properties of water—reflection, release, and restoration—Connecting Currents: Women of the Rivers is an interdisciplinary interactive experience that promotes an ecological and spiritual reconciliation and reconnection with water and one another starting with the community surrounding the Detroit River. What better location to encourage reconciliation with people of the African Diaspora than the river which many formerly enslaved Africans crossed to freedom.

“Olin Downes and the Soviets, or American Music after the Bolshevik Revolution” - Dr. Kevin Bartig, Michigan State University (September 30, 2022 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97515 97515-21794672@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 30, 2022 5:00pm

“Olin Downes and the Soviets, or American Music after the Bolshevik Revolution”

In 1929 and 1932, the long-serving and influential New York Times music critic Olin Downes embarked on extended tours of the Soviet Union. During these visits, Downes attended performances, evaluated new compositions, and consulted with cultural bureaucrats on the state of Soviet musical culture. As the first prominent US music critic to visit the Soviet Union since the Bolshevik Revolution, Downes understood that his first-hand observer status bestowed a transnationally constructed authority that allowed him to make big and often highly tendentious claims about what he saw and heard. In this presentation, I follow Downes on these tours to show that these claims were not simply pro- or anti-Bolshevik reactions but were in fact intertwined with a much deeper agenda: Downes’s desire to foster a middlebrow, national art music at home in the United States. Ultimately, Downes’s interest in the Soviet Union was brief, but his experience there shaped his nationalist agenda for American music for years to come. This chapter of Downes’s career is crucial to understanding both how the Soviet experiment shaped discourse around American music and how US opinion on Soviet culture took shape during the interwar years.


Dr. Kevin Bartig, professor and chair of musicology at Michigan State University, has written widely on Russian and Soviet music. His books include Composing for the Red Screen: Prokofiev and Soviet Film (2013) and Sergei Prokofiev’s “Alexander Nevsky” (2017). Other publications explore musical diplomacy, audio- visual aesthetics, and the reception of Russian music in various contexts. With theater historian Dassia Posner, he coedited Three Loves for Three Oranges: Gozzi, Meyerhold, Prokofiev (2021). He has also contributed to several edited collections, including Prokofiev and His World, Sound, Speech, Music in Soviet and Post-Soviet Cinema, and The Rite of Spring at 100, which won the 2018 AMS Ruth A. Solie Award. At Michigan State, Dr. Bartig received the MSU Teacher-Scholar Award in 2010.

ABOUT
Story Lab develops executive-level presence and communication skills through storytelling workshops and events. To be an effective leader — at work, in the community, or in your personal life — you must be able to communicate with impact. Often this means telling stories that are meaningful to you and others, and doing so in the rich language and expressive style of a seasoned storyteller. If you can craft and deliver an effective story, you will be better able to convey your value to recruiters, inspire and motivate classmates and colleagues, and influence your audience. At Story Lab, you’ll find an immersive experience and an opportunity to hone your skills in a safe and supportive environment.

This exhibit features various aspects of the Native North American powwow. More specifically, it features the history and culture behind Ann Arbor’s "Dance for Mother Earth Powwow," which is approaching its much-anticipated 50th celebration.

The Dance for Mother Earth Powwow is a multi-decade, intertribal celebration of Indigenous cultures. It grew from its early beginnings as a small gathering in a field just outside of Ann Arbor into one of the largest student-led powwows in North America. The event attracts crowds of thousands — dancers, singers, artists, tribal members from across the country, and non-Indigenous members of the community.

Stop by to learn more about The Dance for Mother Earth Powwow, modern Indigenous culture, and resources to connect to today on campus.

Rita Strakovsky, PhD, RD is an Assistant Professor of Maternal Nutrition and Toxicology in the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition at Michigan State University.

Dr. Strakovsky's research focuses on various modifiable lifestyle and environmental factors that can be targeted to protect maternal and child health.

She has worked extensively in rodent pregnancy models to study the effects of maternal diet or exposure to environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) on the epigenetic regulation of energy metabolism in offspring. Driven by findings from these studies, my current research in human populations uses molecular epidemiology and biostatistics techniques to address several questions related to the health of mom and her developing fetus during pregnancy:
* Does exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals in pregnancy impact maternal hormone levels and how does that impact fetal development via dysregulation of fetal fatty acid supply? (supported by K99/R00 award from NIEHS).
* Does exposure to phthalates in pregnancy impact maternal long-term cardiometabolic health, and does hormonal disruption mediate this relationship? (supported by R01 award from NIEHS).
* Do mixtures of dietary micronutrients impact length of gestation, and does diet quality or exposure to environmental chemicals modify this relationship? (supported by Administrative Supplement from NIH Office of Dietary Supplements).
* How does maternal obesity and adiposity impact biomarkers of reproductive endpoints in newborns, and does this differ in male vs. female babies? (supported by R03 award from NICHD).
* Is perinatal obesity associated with maternal mitochondrial epigenetic disruption and is that related to newborn weight or gestational age at birth? (supported by pilot grant from Michigan Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes cohort (ECHO))

Race and Racism, Comparatively: A Fall 2022 Series (October 4, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/96941 96941-21793601@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 4, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Comparative Literature

“Race and Racism, Comparatively” is a series of three conversations highlighting the work of scholars both in and beyond U-M whose scholarship is contributing to much-needed conversations on the global dimension of race, racism, and their impacts. Through these events, we seek to help broaden the aperture through which the academic community considers these themes, encouraging an understanding of a dynamic and interconnected set of systems, practices and material effects.

September 20th 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Virtual conversation with University of Pennsylvania scholar and president of the Middle East Studies Association, Eve Troutt Powell and Tennessee State University scholar, Keisha Brown. A cultural historian, Professor Troutt Powell’s scholarship has focused the history of the modern Middle East with a particular emphasis on slavery in the Nile Valley and in the former Ottoman Empire. Professor Brown’s work has focused on modern China and the negotiation of Sino-Blackness; her research interests broadly include ethnic and race studies, postcolonial theory and social and cultural history in East Asia.

October 4th 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Roundtable featuring U-M faculty whose scholarship takes up the question of race and racism according to a transnational lens. The areas of focus represented among the participants include: the construction of blackness in the Francophone world; race, gender and Islam; the role of race and racialization as a tool of biopower in Mexico; and race and representation in US classrooms, literature and media. This event will be in-person at Kuenzel Room in the Michigan League, with a hybrid stream option.

November 1st 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Pedagogy Workshop. The groups will function as both an opportunity to reflect on the provocations raised during previous two events, dissect our assumptions about race on the global stage, and exchange ideas and best practices for teaching the same. The aim is to create a constructive and productive dialogue which will ideally produce a series of “best practices'' for teaching race and racism from a comparative, global standpoint. This event will be in-person at the Vandenberg Room in the League, with a hybrid stream option on Zoom. Register for streaming here:

Abstract:

Accurately predicting the onset of disease is a major challenge in clinical medicine because the genesis of diseases is generally a complex and dynamic process. Wearable sensor technologies provide an unprecedented opportunity to collect physiological data at orders of magnitude higher high time-resolution than conventional clinical practice. This provides unprecedented opportunities for investigating the dynamics of disease processes and may usher in a new era of real-time, personalized medicine. We have proposed the potential of real-time, continuously measured physiological data as a non-invasive, “digital biomarker” approach for detecting the earliest stages in transition to a disease state. In this talk, I will describe an example of our interdisciplinary team’s work on this topic that uses the early detection and possible prediction of febrile (i.e., fever-associated) adverse events in cancer events as an important application.

Clinical Interests
Prostate Cancer, General Oncology, Biomarkers in Oncology
Research Interests
• Biology of circulating, extracellular nucleic acids and translational applications
• Developing next generation approaches for early detection and monitoring of cancer
• Bioinformatics and computational biology, high-throughput sequencing
• New technologies to enable cancer detection and monitoring

This exhibit features various aspects of the Native North American powwow. More specifically, it features the history and culture behind Ann Arbor’s "Dance for Mother Earth Powwow," which is approaching its much-anticipated 50th celebration.

The Dance for Mother Earth Powwow is a multi-decade, intertribal celebration of Indigenous cultures. It grew from its early beginnings as a small gathering in a field just outside of Ann Arbor into one of the largest student-led powwows in North America. The event attracts crowds of thousands — dancers, singers, artists, tribal members from across the country, and non-Indigenous members of the community.

Stop by to learn more about The Dance for Mother Earth Powwow, modern Indigenous culture, and resources to connect to today on campus.

This exhibition was curated by Michigan Library Scholar interns, Allison Jiang and Andrea Medina. The Michigan Library Scholars internship program provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to research and develop a capstone project under the guidance of experienced library professionals at one of the largest academic research libraries in the world.

Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Eisenberg Family Depression Center

Thursday, October 6th
10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Room 1180, Duderstadt Center, North Campus

The University of Michigan’s Eisenberg Family Depression Center in partnership with the Michigan Engineering's C.A.R.E. Center, will offer students, faculty and staff a free opportunity to determine whether they are experiencing some of the symptoms of depression, and would benefit from further evaluation.

The confidential screenings for depression and related conditions will be provided by trained mental health professionals.

National Depression Screening Day is a public education program - the feedback provided after a screening is informational, not diagnostic. Based on screening results, mental health professionals may recommend a more comprehensive evaluation.

Free screenings are a good way for people to find out if depression might be the cause of feelings they’ve been experiencing, including prolonged sadness, anxiety, irritability, loss of pleasure in activities, feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness and even physical pain.

For more information about National Depression Screening Day, contact Taylor Pahl at tpahl@umich.edu

Location: North Campus Research Complex Building 32
Organized By: Chemical Engineering

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

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

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

About the Event:
Having an edge is about gaining an advantage, but it goes beyond just advantage. It’s about recognizing that others will have their own perceptions about us, right or wrong. When you recognize the power in those perceptions and flip them in your favor, you create an edge—and your hard work works harder for you.

Join Laura Huang, acclaimed business professor at Harvard University and author of Edge: Turning Adversity into Advantage, as she discusses with Julia Lee Cunningham how to use everything to your advantage, even your perceived flaws and the systemic biases that hold you back. Laura shares how to harness the very stereotypes and qualities that seem like shortcomings and reframe them as assets that work in your favor. And by doing so, you will find and create your own unique edge.

About Huang:

Heartfulness Guided Meditation (October 7, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88544 88544-21791399@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 7, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Information and Technology Services (ITS)

Heartfulness Guided Meditation is a weekly, drop-in program designed to help you nourish your spirit and heal your body and mind.

All U-M students, faculty, and staff are welcome to participate in guided meditation practice with a trainer every Friday at noon over Zoom (details to join are provided below). No prior experience with meditation is required.

Advanced Wellness techniques are taught on the first Friday of the Month and that session will be about 45 mins.

*What will you learn?*

The guided meditation practice involves three simple steps: relaxation, rejuvenation, and meditation.

Relaxation brings your body to a calm, steady posture creating a stillness at the physical level, and prepares the mind for meditation. We follow this with a rejuvenation method to detox the mind to let go of stress and complex emotions, and will leave you feeling light and refreshed. Lastly, learning to meditate by being mindful of your heart will connect you with yourself by listening to your heart’s voice.

*Why Meditate?*

While physical fitness keeps our bodies in shape, meditation is an exercise for the mind and mental wellness. In addition to the measurable benefits mentally and physically, many people benefit from an unquantifiable inner poise and harmony.

*Event Details*

Attention, Instrumentality, and the Orchestration of Mind” - Dr. Francesca Brittan, Case Western Reserve University (October 7, 2022 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97516 97516-21794673@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 7, 2022 5:00pm

“Attention, Instrumentality, and the Orchestration of Mind”
The last several decades have seen an explosion of texts by psychologists and cognitive scientists detailing the erosion of our attentive capacities and the rise of diagnoses including ADHD. In explaining this apparent crisis, many draw on the metaphor of the “neural orchestra’ popularized by (among others) the neuroscientist Elkhonen Goldberg. According to this model, individual areas of cortical specialization are players in a large-scale ensemble that must be well-conducted to operate at peak efficiency. Absence of a strong cognitive leader generates chaos. This paper interrogates the origins and ideological resonances of the brain-orchestra. Although the metaphor was embraced as a novelty in the mid-1990s (a substitute for computational models of cognition), it has much older roots, originating in phrenological theory of the 1810s. From the craniology of Franz Joseph Gall to the phreno-magnetism of Mariano Cubi y Soler, orchestral cartographies of mind flourished. Replacing (or fusing) metaphysical concepts of harmony with theories of hierarchical cerebral organology, they likened the focused mind to the centrally-organized orchestra. The concept of attention was crucial in both arenas, conceived as a controlling force yoking players into powerful cognitive, musical, and political wholes. The orchestra in the brain was also a brain in the orchestra. Instrumental music itself, as it accrued cultural capital through the early nineteenth century, was redefined in terms of cognitive theory, demanding the intensely conducted forms of attention first celebrated by Wackenroder and enforced by newly powerful podium leaders. Today, the historical and neuropolitical forces that generated the Romantic mind-orchestra have been largely forgotten, but they continue to exert a spectral influence, hovering behind our fetish for cognitive focus and our psychopolitical fear of distraction.

Francesca Brittan is Associate Professor of Music at Case Western Reserve University. Her scholarship focuses on music and sound cultures since 1800, often at the intersection of science, magic, and aesthetics. Her first book, Music and Fantasy in the Age of Berlioz (Cambridge, 2017) traces intersections between musical enchantment and romantic science from Berlioz to Stravinsky. Current projects include two edited volumes: The Attentive Ear: Sound, Cognition, and Subjectivity (University of Pennsylvania Press, co-edited with Carmel Raz); and Berlioz and His World (University of Chicago Press, co-edited with Sarah Hibberd). Her second monograph, Instruments of Mind, examines entanglements between musical and neural organologies from Descartes to the present, bringing together sonic, cognitive, and neuroscientific histories. Her work has been bolstered by fellowships from the University of Cambridge, the University of Amsterdam, the NEH, the Social Sciences Research Council of Canada, and the American Musicological Society. She is co-founder of the Music and Attention Working Group at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics, Frankfurt.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit features various aspects of the Native North American powwow. More specifically, it features the history and culture behind Ann Arbor’s "Dance for Mother Earth Powwow," which is approaching its much-anticipated 50th celebration.

The Dance for Mother Earth Powwow is a multi-decade, intertribal celebration of Indigenous cultures. It grew from its early beginnings as a small gathering in a field just outside of Ann Arbor into one of the largest student-led powwows in North America. The event attracts crowds of thousands — dancers, singers, artists, tribal members from across the country, and non-Indigenous members of the community.

Stop by to learn more about The Dance for Mother Earth Powwow, modern Indigenous culture, and resources to connect to today on campus.

This exhibition was curated by Michigan Library Scholar interns, Allison Jiang and Andrea Medina. The Michigan Library Scholars internship program provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to research and develop a capstone project under the guidance of experienced library professionals at one of the largest academic research libraries in the world.

Diverse practitioners have been invited in order to underscore the need for a multiplicity of voices needed to confront these issues. The Ways of Water symposium brings together perspectives of artists, activists, community members alongside those of scientists and policy makers. 



Day 2: Saturday, October 8, 1 – 5 pm Stamps Gallery, 201 South Division Street

1:00 pm: Session 4 — Breaking Waves: Research Around, Through, and With Water Panelists: Heidi Kumao, Kelly Murdoch-Kitt + Denielle Emans, David Porter, and Cedric Taylor

Breaking Waves surveys research and pedagogy across the University of Michigan at the intersection of water, world-building, and environmental justice. Panelists will discuss how water is used in teaching and storytelling to repair broken relationships with water and how water subjects are used as pedagogical tools. 

3:00 pm: Session 5 — Water Futures: Decolonization, Access, Systems, and Community Panelists: Daniel Brown, Amber Hasan and Shea Cobb, Branko Kerkez, and Andrea Pierce Moderator: María Arquero de Alarcón

Water Futures explores our understanding of water — as a vital resource for the life of a community, a reservoir of ecological memory, and a public trust or a fundamental human right — as we try to envision creative solutions that can change the course of water’s troubled history. Beyond the strict temporality of crisis and response that so often frames recent public narratives about environmental justice, how can artists, academics, and activists help recontextualize the urgency of ecological action to achieve an equitable water future?

4:30 pm: Closing Remarks

Symposium events are free and open to all. Please contact Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan, Stamps Gallery at jenjkhan@​umich.​edu for additional information or with questions.

MIDAS is excited to announce a new AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellowship Program at U-M, which will launch this semester!

Funded by an as-yet-unnamed donor, this campus-wide program, managed by MIDAS, focuses on enabling major research breakthroughs in science and engineering through the adoption of cutting-edge AI methodologies. The program will accept 10 new postdocs each year for the next six years.

On October 10th, we will hold two town hall meetings to introduce the new AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellowship Program at Michigan. The program leadership team will provide details of the program, outline the application process, and answer questions. There will also be networking time so that faculty members interested in being mentors can talk with each other, and potential candidates can connect with faculty mentors.
To support attendees on North and Central campus, we will offer two meetings with identical content:

Meeting #1 (North Campus): Oct. 10, 10am - 12pm, Tishman Lobby, Bob and Betty Beyster Building, 2260 Hayward Street.

Meeting #2 (Central Campus): Oct.10, 12:30pm - 2:30pm, Weiser Hall 10th floor, 500 Church Street.

Location: West Hall
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Written text contains a wealth of information that can be turned into research data to study almost every aspect of human behavior, human health and our society. However, converting text to usable data requires an understanding of standard techniques from the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). MIDAS and the AI Lab are jointly organizing a monthly series of NLP workshops during the Fall 2022 semester. The first installment is on Sept. 19, and the second installment is on Oct. 10. Each session does not directly depend upon information from previous sessions.

In the first workshop of the series, we will provide a broad overview of NLP and introduce basic concepts used in NLP, including keyword counting, sentiment classification, and topic modeling. Additional topics include how NLP can be used, what the data look like, what (social science) questions could be answered using NLP, and more.

The second session, on Oct 10, is titled "What's in Text Data?"
Written text contains rich information about human knowledge, opinions, and communication styles, but how do we extract insight about all this from the data? In this second workshop in the series, we will first introduce Jupyter notebooks, a popular platform for performing data science research. Then we will discuss how to choose a dataset for your research question, extract your own dataset from social media sites like Reddit and Twitter, and convert the raw text data to a usable format. We will then explore several methods to extract information and gain insight from text data, including named entity recognition and sentiment analysis.

Location: North Campus Research Complex Building 32
Organized By: Chemical Engineering

This lecture series brings one of the world’s foremost experts in environmental engineering and science to campus each year to share the results of their work and their vision for the future.

This seminar is made possible through the endowment to the University by the 1996 Athalie Richardson Irvine Clark Prize awarded to Professor Walter J. Weber, Jr. by the National Water Research Institute for Outstanding Accomplishments in Water Science and Technology.

TITLE:
"Next-Generation Desalination and Water Purification Membranes: Where Are We Now?"

ABSTRACT:
Water scarcity is one of the greatest global crises of our time. Increasing water supply beyond what is available from the hydrological cycle can be achieved by seawater desalination and wastewater reuse. Highly effective, low-cost, robust membrane-based technologies for desalination and wastewater reuse are needed, with minimal impact on the environment. However, progress in current state-of-the-art water purification membranes has been limited. This presentation will critically discuss and evaluate recent research efforts in the past 15 years to (i) lower energy consumption for water desalination by improving membrane water permeability, (ii) reduce the cost of water desalination via increased water-salt selectivity, and (iii) enhance membrane ion selectivity for applications at the water-energy nexus. The presentation will focus on the emerging area of ion selectivity where high precision ion separation is desired. We will highlight how insights from nanofluidics and ion-selective biological channels establish the basis for a new class of membranes with ion-ion selectivity. A few examples will be provided to elucidate the mechanisms of ion transport and selectivity in membranes with sub-nanometer pores. The presentation will conclude with a discussion on research directions and critical challenges for developing ion-selective membranes.

Reading Blessings on the Prophet: Manuscripts of Dalāʼil al-khayrāt (October 11, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/96818 96818-21793369@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 11, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Join us for an exploration of the Arabic devotional compendium Dalāʼil al-khayrāt wa-shawāriq al-anwār fī dhikr al-ṣalāh ʻalá al-nabī al-mukhtār (The Signposts to Goodness and the Dawning of Radiance in Remembrance to ask Blessings upon the Chosen Prophet) through a selection of manuscripts in the Islamic Manuscripts Collection.

Beginning at 4:00pm, Nadirah Mansour (Museum of Fine Arts, Boston — joining virtually) and collection curator Evyn Kropf will lead us through an exploration of this work and the devotional significance of its materiality. Join us in Room 660D in the Special Collections Research Center on the 6th floor of the Hatcher Graduate Library. No registration is required. Coffee and tea will be available after the conversation!

Authored by the Moroccan mystic Abū ʻAbd Allāh Muḥammad ibn Sulaymān al-Jazūlī (d.1465), Dalāʼil al-khayrāt outlines the merits of invoking blessings over the Prophet, discusses his names and honorifics, and describes his burial place in Medina before launching into a litany of prayers. These are divided in aḥzāb, or ritual portions, as well as quarters and thirds so that the reader can engage with it successively over days or a week if they like. A closing prayer concludes the work.

Enormously popular across Muslim communities, a vast number of manuscript copies, printed editions, and commentaries (in manuscript and print) were produced over the centuries since al-Jazūlī’s compilation — many of them illuminated and illustrated with depictions of Mecca and Medina.

This exhibit features various aspects of the Native North American powwow. More specifically, it features the history and culture behind Ann Arbor’s "Dance for Mother Earth Powwow," which is approaching its much-anticipated 50th celebration.

The Dance for Mother Earth Powwow is a multi-decade, intertribal celebration of Indigenous cultures. It grew from its early beginnings as a small gathering in a field just outside of Ann Arbor into one of the largest student-led powwows in North America. The event attracts crowds of thousands — dancers, singers, artists, tribal members from across the country, and non-Indigenous members of the community.

Stop by to learn more about The Dance for Mother Earth Powwow, modern Indigenous culture, and resources to connect to today on campus.

This exhibition was curated by Michigan Library Scholar interns, Allison Jiang and Andrea Medina. The Michigan Library Scholars internship program provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to research and develop a capstone project under the guidance of experienced library professionals at one of the largest academic research libraries in the world.

Brady T. West is a Research Professor in the Survey Methodology Program, located within the Survey Research Center at the Institute for Social Research on the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor (U-M) campus. He earned his PhD from the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science in 2011. Before that, he received an MA in Applied Statistics from the U-M Statistics Department in 2002, being recognized as an Outstanding First-year Applied Masters student, and a BS in Statistics with Highest Honors and Highest Distinction from the U-M Statistics Department in 2001. His current research interests include the implications of measurement error in auxiliary variables and survey paradata for survey estimation, selection bias in surveys, responsive/adaptive survey design, interviewer effects, and multilevel regression models for clustered and longitudinal data. He is the lead author of a book comparing different statistical software packages in terms of their mixed-effects modeling procedures (Linear Mixed Models: A Practical Guide using Statistical Software, Third Edition, Chapman Hall/CRC Press, 2022), and he is a co-author of a second book entitled Applied Survey Data Analysis (with Steven Heeringa and Pat Berglund), the second edition of which was published by CRC Press in June 2017. He was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association in 2022.

Among the numerous explanations that have been offered for recent errors in pre-election polls, selection bias due to non-ignorable partisan nonresponse bias, where the probability of responding to a poll is a function of the candidate preference that a poll is attempting to measure (even after conditioning on other relevant covariates used for weighting adjustments), has received relatively less focus in the academic literature. Under this type of selection mechanism, estimates of candidate preferences based on individual or aggregated polls may be subject to significant bias, even after standard weighting adjustments. Until recently, methods for measuring and adjusting for this type of non-ignorable selection bias have been unavailable. Fortunately, recent developments in the methodological literature have provided political researchers with easy-to-use measures of non-ignorable selection bias. In this study, we apply a new measure that has been developed specifically for estimated proportions to this challenging problem. We analyze data from 18 different pre-election polls: nine different telephone polls conducted in eight different states prior to the U.S. Presidential election in 2020, and nine different pre-election polls conducted either online or via telephone in Great Britain prior to the 2015 General Election. We rigorously evaluate the ability of this new measure to detect and adjust for selection bias in estimates of the proportion of likely voters that will vote for a specific candidate, using official outcomes from each election as benchmarks and alternative data sources for estimating key characteristics of the likely voter populations in each context.

Abstract:

Our current understanding of how genes are regulated is akin to solving a jigsaw puzzle. Many factors governing gene expression have been identified, and researchers have collected a wide variety of related datasets. However, how these "parts" are pieced together to function as a whole remains unclear. In this talk, I will discuss our research to develop and apply state-of-the-art machine learning methods to genomics datasets to attempt to put together the pieces from the data. I will cover our work using deep learning architecture that captures the data's underlying structure to integrate datasets and connect them to gene expression via the prediction task. We also interpret the prediction results and tie them back to contributing factors to develop potential hypotheses related to gene regulation. I will then move from bulk data to the single-cell data domain and discuss methods to perform unsupervised integration of different types of single-cell experiments. This talk aims to highlight our research direction's potential to reveal the important gene regulatory mechanisms in characterizing cell types and diseases from the collected data.

Organized By: University Library

This exhibit features various aspects of the Native North American powwow. More specifically, it features the history and culture behind Ann Arbor’s "Dance for Mother Earth Powwow," which is approaching its much-anticipated 50th celebration.

The Dance for Mother Earth Powwow is a multi-decade, intertribal celebration of Indigenous cultures. It grew from its early beginnings as a small gathering in a field just outside of Ann Arbor into one of the largest student-led powwows in North America. The event attracts crowds of thousands — dancers, singers, artists, tribal members from across the country, and non-Indigenous members of the community.

Stop by to learn more about The Dance for Mother Earth Powwow, modern Indigenous culture, and resources to connect to today on campus.

This exhibition was curated by Michigan Library Scholar interns, Allison Jiang and Andrea Medina. The Michigan Library Scholars internship program provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to research and develop a capstone project under the guidance of experienced library professionals at one of the largest academic research libraries in the world.

Here Nor There is a new solo exhibition by multidisciplinary artist and environmentalist Kristina Sheufelt. Sheufelt is based in Detroit, Michigan, and recently received her MFA from the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design. In Here Nor There, Sheufelt uses a variety of media to blur the lines between land and body.

For the past several years, Sheufelt has spent her summers living in remote backcountry locations throughout the United States working on research projects ranging from self-directed study of emotional psychology in the wilderness to monitoring marine wildlife populations. In Here Nor There, Sheufelt processes the emotional and ecological implications of returning to life in the city between reunions with the wild.

Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar

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

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