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))

The Clements Bookworm: Fundraising has a history you can tell through Objects with Amanda Moniz (October 21, 2022 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/98038 98038-21795507@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 21, 2022 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

We know the names of major givers in American history. We recognize the power of the everyday philanthropists who have shaped and reshaped the nation. But we have largely overlooked the stories of people who have done the hard work of raising money for charitable causes from the colonial era to today. Yet fundraising has a history and Amanda Moniz is working to tell it as she builds the Smithsonian’s new philanthropy collection.

Amanda B. Moniz, Ph.D., is the David M. Rubenstein Curator of Philanthropy at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. She curates a long-term exhibit, Giving in America, and is building the Smithsonian's collection of objects telling stories about Americans' historical experiences of giving, fundraising, and working in and using charitable institutions. Her book, From Empire to Humanity: The American Revolution and the Origins of Humanitarianism, was awarded ARNOVA’S inaugural Peter Dobkin Hall History of Philanthropy Book Prize. She is currently working on a biography of Isabella Graham, an immigrant widow who transformed philanthropy in early national New York, and is grateful to the Clements Library for supporting research in its collections about Graham. Moniz received her Ph.D. in History from the University of Michigan in 2008, and during graduate school, she worked at the Clements as a curatorial assistant in the Manuscript Division.

This episode of the Clements Bookworm is generously sponsored by Kristin Cabral ‘88, Member of the Clements Library Associates Board.

A Virtual Conversation with Author Justin Baldoni (October 26, 2022 6:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99683 99683-21798534@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 26, 2022 6:30pm
Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: University Students Against Rape/Take Back The Night (USAR/TBTN)

Justin Baldoni, filmmaker, actor, and author, will stream in live for an honest conversation about redefining masculinity, and how by challenging traditional roles and traits of masculinity, men will be able to realize their potential as humans and their capacity for connection. You can find out more about Justin’s mission at www.manenough.com.

The event will begin with a conversation between Justin and Standing Tough Against Rape President, Tom Swider, using Justin’s books as a springboard. Man Enough, released in 2021, focuses on Justin’s personal journey of how traditional masculinity affected him. In this book he helps us to investigate what it means to be man enough and in the process what it means to be human.

His second book, Boys Will Be Human, being released October4, 2022, is a real-talk, self-esteem-building guidebook that helps boys ages 11 and up embrace their feelings and fears instead of repress them. This book is geared toward middle schoolers (11+) and their parents, however, anyone can benefit from it. This is the perfect social-emotional learning tool for parents and educators to jump-start conversations about masculinity with the boys in their lives.

We will then open it up to questions from attendees.

*Please note: Justin will be joining the conversation and Q&A portion virtually and he will not be present for the post event reception.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Saturday Morning Physics

New developments in technology have revolutionized the way we live, from smartphones and devices to the internet, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, clean energy, big data, and much more. These inventions have one thing in common: they originate from key discoveries in physics made decades earlier in research driven by curiosity. In this lecture, I will invite you to share your ranking of the most important technological developments of the new millennium, and I will explain which Nobel prize in physics made each of these innovations possible, how we continue to explore these physics questions today, and how current research may transform our lives in the future. To conclude, I will share my pick of the most important recent technology breakthrough and track its origin to the historical debate about the foundation of quantum physics: Einstein vs. the Copenhagen interpretation of whether or not God plays dice.

Please join us to learn about the University of Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science.

The Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science (MPSDS) offers graduate degrees that combine ideas and techniques for producing and analyzing data about humans and our society. Join us to launch your career in this exciting and rewarding field in which scientists interpret the world through data.

MPSDS
The University of Michigan Program in Survey Methodology was established in 2001 seeking to train future generations of survey and data scientists. In 2021, we changed our name to the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science. Our curriculum is concerned with a broad set of data sources including survey data, but also including social media posts, sensor data, and administrative records, as well as analytic methods for working with these new data sources. And we bring to data science a focus on data quality — which is not at the center of traditional data science. The new name speaks to what we teach and work on at the intersection of social research and data. The program offers doctorate and master of science degrees and a certificate through the University of Michigan. The program's home is the Institute for Social Research, the world's largest academically-based social science research institute.

Exploring Early Origins of Cognitive Decline: The St. Louis Baby Teeth Study (March 23, 2023 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/106124 106124-21813784@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 23, 2023 3:00pm
Location: Public Health I (Vaughan Building)
Organized By: Michigan Lifestage Environmental Exposures and Disease Center

Please join us in-person for a seminar highlighting environmental research. Marc Weisskopf's research interests mostly come from his background in neurobiology. He is interested in how environmental factors affect the nervous system, as well as the epidemiology of neurologic disorders. Current areas of his work include how environmental exposures relate to:
* Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
* Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
* Mental health
* Cognitive function/Alzheimer’s disease (AD)
* Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
Some examples of his current work include exploring how exposure to toxicants (e.g., lead, manganese, and air pollution) affect cognitive function and psychiatric symptoms; how air pollution and other toxicants relate to autism spectrum disorder (ASD); and how toxicant exposures like formaldehyde and lead relate to the development of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In addition, he has a large study in Israel and Denmark to explore the relationship of currently used medications to ALS. He is also very interested in issues of epidemiological methods and causal inferences as they relate to his work.

*Registration required. https://mleead.umich.edu/Event_Emergency2023.php

For in-person, refreshments served at 5:30 pm and the Program is 6:00-8:00 pm. In addition to Ms. Patterson, the event includes a Detroit Community Panel, moderated by Laprisha Berry Daniels (Detroiters Working for Environmental Justice):
* Ricky Ackerman (Eastside Community Network);
* Tammara Howard (What About Us & Belvidere Community Youth Block Club);
* Theresa Landrum (48217 community organizer & activist);
* Vincent Martin (Detroit community activist);
* Lula Odom (retired from International Chemical Workers Union Council for Worker Health & Safety Education, Cincinnati).

The disproportionate impacts of disasters for communities of color have been documented repeatedly for both natural and human-caused disasters. In Michigan:
* More than 500,000 Michigan residents live within one mile of a facility storing large amounts of extremely hazardous chemicals;
* Those residents are disproportionately Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) and confront daily risks of spills, explosions, and other environmental disasters at the facilities, as well as from the transport of chemicals to and from them through their communities;
* Children of color are more than two times as likely as white children in Michigan to live in the shadow of facilities housing hazardous substances.

This event, organized by Detroit community leaders with support from local academic institutions, will:
* Discuss why emergency preparedness and response is an environmental and climate justice issue;
* Describe gaps and challenges in Detroit’s emergency preparedness and response, from and environmental and climate justice perspective;
* Share recommendations for improving emergency preparedness and response for environmental and climate justice communities.
