Abstract:
Water connects and obligates people to one another and to their environments in this time of ecological reckoning. Water ties, in this presentation, is an analytical term for, first, the ways that people are tied to water and are obliged to care for it, and second, the consequential and patterned ways that people are tied to one another through their relationships to water. In the Florida Everglades, where the world’s largest wetlands restoration project is underway and where pitched battles are fought over the values of agricultural production (especially sugarcane) and ecosystem health, water ties are the underappreciated keys to achieving flourishing with contested waters. Water ties are also political methodology: methodology for ecosystem governance, for Seminole sovereignty, and for ethnography.

This is a part of the Research Center for Group Dynamics (RCGD) Winter 2022 Series - "Water Ways: New Social Science, Science Studies, and Environmental Approaches to Water"

This is also a part of the class Anthrcul 558 section 002

Webinar: Fostering Partnerships, the Foundation of Collaborative Science (February 3, 2022 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90971 90971-21675114@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 3, 2022 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Graham Sustainability Institute

If you’ve ever developed a user-driven research proposal, you know it takes a lot of conversations, coordination, and iteration — not to mention significant investment of time and resources. Partnerships are the heart of the collaborative science approach, and success depends on assembling the right team to engage, understand, design, and deliver results to meet users’ needs. When getting started with a new collaborative science project, it’s important to commit the time and resources necessary to foster relationships among team members, end users, and other partners, establish mutual understanding, and ultimately create a shared vision for what you want to accomplish.

Join us for a discussion with two speakers from the NERRS who will share how their successful collaborative science efforts started. Speakers will highlight how small grants helped them explore ideas with partners that sparked future projects, and the importance of getting together, understanding one another’s needs, and fostering relationships to do science that makes a difference.

The University of Michigan M-LEEaD Center is co-sponsoring a virtual event to discuss the bipartisan legislation called the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act. This reform law was designed to modernize the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and U.S. industrial chemical policy to promote health, but has it lived up to its promise?

Toxic chemicals can harm our health as these substances are present in everyday products (e.g., cleaning products, cookware, housing and infrastructure materials, bedding, toys). Unlike pharmaceuticals, industrial and commercial chemicals are rarely tested for safety before they reach the U.S. market. However, amended TSCA gave the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency new authorities to require manufacturers provide the data needed for risk assessments. People expect the outcomes of implementing our environmental laws to be equitable health protection for the public from environmental harms. Yet, key components of risk evaluations seem complex and thus inaccessible to the public. Our goal is to demystify the process of assessing the science to move toward evidence-based safeguards communities want for public health.

Our virtual event will examine key issues from a series of recent scientific workshops. We will present a case study of applying the principles to treating cancer and non-cancer health effects in similar manners in the risk assessment for the chemical perchloroethylene (PCE). We will explore the use of probabilistic assessments in TSCA risk evaluations. The amended TSCA gave the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency new requirements and authorities. The public health impact points to the need for the U.S. EPA to fully use its new powers to evaluate all risks from hazardous chemicals and set policies which protect health and are accountable to high-risk communities. Preventive actions are urgently needed.

Speakers and discussants include:
* Regina Strong (Office of the Environmental Justice Public Advocate for the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE));
* Wilma Subra (Technical Director, Louisiana Environmental Action Network);
* Wendy Heiger-Bernays, PhD (Clinical Professor, Department of Environmental Health, Boston University);
* Gary Ginsberg, PhD (New York Dept of Health, Center for Environmental Health (CEH));

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology

Thomas C. Südhof is a Nobel-prize winning biochemist at Stanford University.

The Südhof laboratory studies how synapses form in the brain and how their properties are specified, which together organize neural circuits. Moreover, the Südhof laboratory examines how synapses become dysfunctional in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders to pave the way for better therapies.

Dr. Südhof has had a remarkably productive career studying the molecular mechanisms controlling synaptic transmission and synaptogenesis. He is perhaps best known for his work identifying the core molecular machinery controlling the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the plasma membrane, including the calcium sensor synaptotagmin. His group also discovered neurexins and neuroligins, which are important cell-surface proteins controlling the specificity synapse formation.

In recent years, his group and collaborators have explored the molecular basis of several human diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia and autism.

Dr. Südhof has been an HHMI Investigator since 1986 and is the recipient of many awards recognizing his fundamental contributions to neuroscience and cell/molecular biology--among them, induction into the National Academy of Sciences (2002), the Kavli Prize (2010), the Albert Lasker Award (2013) as well as the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physiology.

After Dr. Südhof’s seminar there will be a reception in the West Atrium of the Biological Sciences Building under the life-size model of a pterosaur (Quetzalcoatlus northropi, the largest known flying animal to ever live on earth).

Please join us on March 14 for what will no doubt be a fascinating talk and an opportunity to meet with Dr. Südhof and members of the U-M science community.

Douglas Walker is assistant professor in the Dept of Environmental Medicine & Public Health, Icahn School of Medicine, Mount Sinai. Dr. Walker's research is focused on using untargeted metabolomics to measure environmental exposures, and how exposures lead to biological changes that cause diseases. During his postdoctoral fellowship at Emory University, he acted as Director of Exposome Research for the Clinical Biomarkers Laboratory and was a member of the HERCULES Exposome Research Center. Through application of high-resolution mass spectrometry platforms, Dr. Walker has shown it is possible to provide measures of 10,000-100,000 chemical signals in a cost-effective manner using a single human blood sample, providing a key advance for nutritional assessment, precision medicine and exposome research. At Mount Sinai, his research will be focus on continued development and application of advanced analytical strategies for measuring the occurrence, distribution and magnitude of previously unidentified environmental exposures and assist in delineating the mechanisms underlying environment-related diseases in humans.

Abstract:
The understanding of strongly-correlated quantum matter has challenged physicists for decades. The discovery three years ago of correlated phases and superconductivity in magic angle twisted bilayer graphene led to the emergence of a new materials platform to investigate strongly correlated physics, namely moiré quantum matter. These systems exhibit a plethora of quantum phases, such as correlated insulators, superconductivity, magnetism, Chern insulators, and more. In this talk, Professor Jarillo-Herrero will review some of the recent advances in the field, focusing on the newest generation of moiré quantum systems, where correlated physics, superconductivity, and other fascinating phases can be studied with unprecedented tunability. He will end the talk with an outlook of some exciting directions in this emerging field.

Professor Pablo Jarillo-Herrero from MIT studies novel condensed-matter systems and is especially well-known for his pioneering work with twisted bilayer graphene.

He has received the 2020 Wolf Prize in Physics and the 2020 Buckley Prize in Condensed Matter Physics, among many other honors.

The usual pandemic-related caveats apply, but we are currently anticipating an in-person lecture and a remote feed as well.

EEB Special Seminar: "Insights from phenotype x genotype x environment interactions in species-specific functional traits in non-model systems" (June 2, 2022 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/95336 95336-21789190@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, June 2, 2022 2:00pm
Location: Biological Sciences Building
Organized By: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

ABSTRACT: Untangling the interaction between genotype, environment, and phenotype represents a central goal of evolutionary biology, yet a comprehensive understanding of the relative influence of each remains elusive, especially in non-model systems. My research uses several approaches for investigating the multiple sources of variation that can impact observed phenotypic traits. I highlight how functional traits impacting dispersal ability in Caribbean mangrove species, when coupled with spatially explicit ocean current data, can lead to crucial insights about how genetic variation was shaped by the environment. Especially in periods of rapid climate change, environmental pressures can impact the adaptive nature of traits, and in some cases, adaptive variation can transcend species boundaries. Using a case of recent (i.e., Pleistocene) hybridization in montane sedges, I illustrate how genotype-environment association analyses identify adaptive loci with respect to environmental gradients that overwhelmingly correspond to loci with excess ancestry from one parental lineage. Digitized museum specimens may represent an efficient way to study the interaction of genome, phenome, and environment; I propose an analytical framework for explicitly quantifying the covariation of genomic, phenotypic, and environmental data from thousands of conspecific specimens.

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!
