This summer, the Ann Arbor Summer Festival and UMMA present 600 Highwaymen’s A THOUSAND WAYS, a new, multi-part work that offers enthralling social interactions that deliver us from isolation and toward togetherness.

A Thousand Ways is a three-part performance in which you are the actor and you are the audience. Your words, actions, gestures, silence, thoughts, and willingness are the tools. You need no training. You are the expert. 

Obie Award-winning theater makers, 600 HIGHWAYMEN, known for exhilarating performances that challenge the very definition of theater, have created a quietly radical response to this new world with A Thousand Ways. It is a chance at being heard, a brave moment to show up. 

This is an invitation. Will you attend?

Part One: A Phone Call – On a simple phone call, you and another audience member – nameless strangers to one another – follow a carefully crafted set of directives. Over the course of the journey, a portrait of each other emerges through fleeting moments of exposure and the simple sound of an unseen voice.

Organized By: Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum

Inspired by the synergy between nature’s beauty and complexity, and in partnership with the University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens, artists from the Ann Arbor Potters Guild created work centered around Michigan’s natural landscapes and specifically for the Great Lakes Garden at Matthaei. Potters Guild artists created eight free-standing sculptures using the full range of traditional ceramic methods and tools, the potter’s wheel, press molds, coil building, slab construction, and sculpting. Depictions range from naturalistic and representational, to abstract, as well as a whimsical nod or two to the timeless role of fantasy and myth in humankind’s communion with nature.

Mapping and Real-time Navigation with application to Small UAS Urgent Landing (July 14, 2021 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84432 84432-21623977@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, July 14, 2021 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Robotics

Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) are expected to proliferate in low-altitude airspace over the coming decade requiring flight near buildings and over people.Robust urgent landing capabilities including landing site selection are required.

However, conventional fixed-wing emergency landing sites such as open fields and empty roadways are rare in and around cities. This motivates our work to uniquely consider a city's many unoccupied flat rooftops as possible nearby landing sites. We propose novel methods to identify flat rooftop buildings, isolate their flat surfaces, and find touchdown points that maximize distance to obstacles. We model flat rooftop surfaces as polygons that capture their boundaries and possible obstructions on them.

This thesis offers five specific contributions to support urgent rooftop landing. First, the Polylidar algorithm is developed which enables efficient non-convex polygon extraction with interior holes from 2D point sets. A key insight of this work is a novel boundary following method that contrasts computationally expensive geometric unions of triangles. Results from real-world and synthetic benchmarks show comparable accuracy and more than four times speedup compared to other state-of-the-art methods.

Second, we extend polygon extraction from 2D to 3D data where polygons represent flat surfaces and interior holes representing obstacles. Our Polylidar3D algorithm transforms point clouds into a triangular mesh for which planar segmentation and polygon extraction occur in parallel. Dominant plane normals are identified and used to parallelize and regularize planar segments in the mesh. Immediately after a plane has been segmented a polygon extraction task is dynamically spawned. The result is a versatile and extremely fast algorithm for non-convex polygon extraction of 3D data.

Third, we propose a framework for classifying roof shape (e.g., flat) within a city. We process satellite images, airborne LiDAR point clouds, and map building outlines to generate both a LiDAR image and a cropped satellite image of each building. Convolutional neural networks are independently trained for each modality to extract high level features and sent to a random forest classifier for final roof shape prediction. This research contributes the largest multi-city annotated dataset with over 4,500 rooftops used to train and test models. Our results show flat rooftops are identified with 90% precision and recall.

Fourth, we integrate Polylidar3D and our roof shape prediction model to reliably extract flat rooftop surfaces from archived data sources. We model risk as an innovative combination of landing site and path risk metrics and conduct a multi-objective Pareto front analysis for sUAS urgent landing in cities. We create a multi-goal planner that guarantees a risk-optimal solution is found rapidly by avoiding exploration of high-risk options. The proposed emergency planning framework enables a sUAS to select an emergency landing site and corresponding flight plan with minimum total risk.

Fifth, we verify a chosen rooftop landing site on real-time vertical approach with on-board LiDAR and camera sensors. Our method contributes an innovative fusion of semantic segmentation using neural networks with computational geometry as a hybrid algorithm robust to individual sensor and method failure. We construct a high-fidelity simulated city in the Unreal game engine with a statistically-accurate representation of rooftop obstacles. We show our method leads to greater than 4% improvement in intersection-over-union (IOU) accuracy in landing site identification compared to using LiDAR only. Finally, we evaluate results in real-world indoor flight experiments.

Homologous chromosome pairing in meiosis (July 14, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/84408 84408-21623879@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, July 14, 2021 2:00pm

Organized By: Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology

Abstract: Sexual reproduction in eukaryotes relies on meiosis, a specialized form of cell division that enables genetic diversity via recombination and segregation of alleles. The basic program is conserved from yeasts to mammals. A central question is how each chromosome identifies its homolog among numerous potential partners. The overarching goal of our research is to understand how the nuclear organization and motion of chromosomes contributes to the correct pairing, synapsis, and recombination of homologs during meiosis I prophase – and how infidelity in these processes leads to chromosomal abnormalities that underlie infertility, birth defects, or pregnancy loss in humans. We use budding yeast and zebrafish as models to understand how these interrelated processes have evolved.

This summer, the Ann Arbor Summer Festival and UMMA present 600 Highwaymen’s A THOUSAND WAYS, a new, multi-part work that offers enthralling social interactions that deliver us from isolation and toward togetherness.

A Thousand Ways is a three-part performance in which you are the actor and you are the audience. Your words, actions, gestures, silence, thoughts, and willingness are the tools. You need no training. You are the expert. 

Obie Award-winning theater makers, 600 HIGHWAYMEN, known for exhilarating performances that challenge the very definition of theater, have created a quietly radical response to this new world with A Thousand Ways. It is a chance at being heard, a brave moment to show up. 

This is an invitation. Will you attend?

Part One: A Phone Call – On a simple phone call, you and another audience member – nameless strangers to one another – follow a carefully crafted set of directives. Over the course of the journey, a portrait of each other emerges through fleeting moments of exposure and the simple sound of an unseen voice.

Inspired by the synergy between nature’s beauty and complexity, and in partnership with the University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens, artists from the Ann Arbor Potters Guild created work centered around Michigan’s natural landscapes and specifically for the Great Lakes Garden at Matthaei. Potters Guild artists created eight free-standing sculptures using the full range of traditional ceramic methods and tools, the potter’s wheel, press molds, coil building, slab construction, and sculpting. Depictions range from naturalistic and representational, to abstract, as well as a whimsical nod or two to the timeless role of fantasy and myth in humankind’s communion with nature.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Connected and Automated Transportation

Currently, urban mobility is facing several challenges: some are the result of long-term urbanization trends and others are the outcome of more recent changes to population behaviors. Addressing these challenges requires systems thinking and a broadening of collaboration between automakers, mobility services companies, and cities. These constituencies must transform, which will determine their new roles in the new, urban mobility. New value chains will emerge along with novel forms of value that will be realized through innovative business models. This presentation, brought to us by Evangelos Simoudis, Ph.D., will highlight the decisions automakers, mobility service companies, and cities must make, and the transformations they will undergo with regards to technology and business models. Dr. Simoudis will also discuss the risks arising from the use of data and artificial intelligence in new, urban mobility.

This summer, the Ann Arbor Summer Festival and UMMA present 600 Highwaymen’s A THOUSAND WAYS, a new, multi-part work that offers enthralling social interactions that deliver us from isolation and toward togetherness.

A Thousand Ways is a three-part performance in which you are the actor and you are the audience. Your words, actions, gestures, silence, thoughts, and willingness are the tools. You need no training. You are the expert. 

Obie Award-winning theater makers, 600 HIGHWAYMEN, known for exhilarating performances that challenge the very definition of theater, have created a quietly radical response to this new world with A Thousand Ways. It is a chance at being heard, a brave moment to show up. 

This is an invitation. Will you attend?

Part One: A Phone Call – On a simple phone call, you and another audience member – nameless strangers to one another – follow a carefully crafted set of directives. Over the course of the journey, a portrait of each other emerges through fleeting moments of exposure and the simple sound of an unseen voice.

The Clements Bookworm: Detroit’s Hidden Channels, French-Indigenous Families in the 18th Century (July 16, 2021 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/83967 83967-21619247@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, July 16, 2021 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

Dr. Karen Marrero discusses her new book *Detroit’s Hidden Channels: The Power of French-Indigenous Families in the Eighteenth Century* (2020).

French-Indigenous families of the 18th century were a central force in shaping the history of Detroit. Situated where Anishinaabe, Wendat, Myaamia, and later French communities were established and where the system of waterways linking the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico narrowed, Detroit’s location was its primary attribute. While the French state viewed Detroit as a decaying site of illegal activities, the influence of the French-Indigenous networks grew as members diverted imperial resources to bolster an alternative configuration of power relations. Women furthered commerce by navigating a multitude of gender norms of their nations, allowing them to defy the state that sought to control them by holding them to European ideals of womanhood. By the mid-18th century, French-Indigenous families had become so powerful, incoming British traders and imperial officials courted their favor. These families would maintain that power as the British imperial presence splintered on the eve of the American Revolution.

Karen Marrero is a past Clements Library research fellow and a professor at Wayne State University.

Halal Metropolis (July 16, 2021 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84359 84359-21623504@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, July 16, 2021 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

The Halal Metrop­o­lis exhi­bi­tion, by artist Osman Khan, pho­tog­ra­pher Razi Jafri, and his­to­rian Sally How­ell, explores the facts, fic­tions, and imag­i­nar­ies of the Mus­lim population(s) in Detroit and South­east Michi­gan as viewed through his­tor­i­cal research, doc­u­men­ta­tion of cur­rent con­di­tions, and explo­rations of future desires. The Halal Metrop­o­lis alludes to the estab­lished and grow­ing Mus­lim pop­u­la­tion in Detroit and its metro area, one of the largest and most diverse Mus­lim pop­u­la­tions in the U.S., whose vis­i­bil­ity is both pro­nounced and extremely present in the city, yet whose nar­ra­tive seems unusu­ally silent in the larger Detroit story. The exhi­bi­tion blends archival mate­ri­als, social and polit­i­cal arti­facts, pho­tog­ra­phy, and art to explore the con­gru­ent and con­tra­dict­ing ideas, aes­thet­ics, and cul­tures work­ing to make the halal metrop­o­lis both a real and imag­i­nary entity.

This summer, the Ann Arbor Summer Festival and UMMA present 600 Highwaymen’s A THOUSAND WAYS, a new, multi-part work that offers enthralling social interactions that deliver us from isolation and toward togetherness.

A Thousand Ways is a three-part performance in which you are the actor and you are the audience. Your words, actions, gestures, silence, thoughts, and willingness are the tools. You need no training. You are the expert. 

Obie Award-winning theater makers, 600 HIGHWAYMEN, known for exhilarating performances that challenge the very definition of theater, have created a quietly radical response to this new world with A Thousand Ways. It is a chance at being heard, a brave moment to show up. 

This is an invitation. Will you attend?

Part One: A Phone Call – On a simple phone call, you and another audience member – nameless strangers to one another – follow a carefully crafted set of directives. Over the course of the journey, a portrait of each other emerges through fleeting moments of exposure and the simple sound of an unseen voice.

Halal Metropolis (July 17, 2021 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84359 84359-21623520@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, July 17, 2021 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

The Halal Metrop­o­lis exhi­bi­tion, by artist Osman Khan, pho­tog­ra­pher Razi Jafri, and his­to­rian Sally How­ell, explores the facts, fic­tions, and imag­i­nar­ies of the Mus­lim population(s) in Detroit and South­east Michi­gan as viewed through his­tor­i­cal research, doc­u­men­ta­tion of cur­rent con­di­tions, and explo­rations of future desires. The Halal Metrop­o­lis alludes to the estab­lished and grow­ing Mus­lim pop­u­la­tion in Detroit and its metro area, one of the largest and most diverse Mus­lim pop­u­la­tions in the U.S., whose vis­i­bil­ity is both pro­nounced and extremely present in the city, yet whose nar­ra­tive seems unusu­ally silent in the larger Detroit story. The exhi­bi­tion blends archival mate­ri­als, social and polit­i­cal arti­facts, pho­tog­ra­phy, and art to explore the con­gru­ent and con­tra­dict­ing ideas, aes­thet­ics, and cul­tures work­ing to make the halal metrop­o­lis both a real and imag­i­nary entity.

This summer, the Ann Arbor Summer Festival and UMMA present 600 Highwaymen’s A THOUSAND WAYS, a new, multi-part work that offers enthralling social interactions that deliver us from isolation and toward togetherness.

A Thousand Ways is a three-part performance in which you are the actor and you are the audience. Your words, actions, gestures, silence, thoughts, and willingness are the tools. You need no training. You are the expert. 

Obie Award-winning theater makers, 600 HIGHWAYMEN, known for exhilarating performances that challenge the very definition of theater, have created a quietly radical response to this new world with A Thousand Ways. It is a chance at being heard, a brave moment to show up. 

This is an invitation. Will you attend?

Part One: A Phone Call – On a simple phone call, you and another audience member – nameless strangers to one another – follow a carefully crafted set of directives. Over the course of the journey, a portrait of each other emerges through fleeting moments of exposure and the simple sound of an unseen voice.

Mary Sibande (July 18, 2021 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84306 84306-21623059@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, July 18, 2021 9:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Sophie/Elsie is part of a series in which South African artist Mary Sibande (b. 1982) explores her family’s history. Three generations of Sibande women were employed as domestic workers in Apartheid South Africa, which Sibande references through Sophie’s blue and white uniform—a dress synonymous with the profession there. Though not quite part of the born-free generation (the name given to children born after the start of Nelson Mandela’s presidency in 1994), Sibande was able to dream of life choices that were inaccessible to her ancestors. These dreams are acted out by her alter-ego Sophie, a life-size fiberglass figure cast in the artist’s own likeness. Sibande created Sophie/Elsie in 2009 in honor of her great-grandmother, who was given the Western name Elsie because her masters couldn’t be bothered to learn her African name. While closing her eyes, Sophie imagines herself as an orchestra conductor, as a superhero, as a businesswoman. Here, her maid’s uniform transforms into the dress of a Victorian queen, complete with billowing cape and dramatic train. 

At a time when indoor visits are limited, UMMA is proud to be able to share Sophie/Elsie with our community. Eventually, she will take center stage in a reinstallation of the permanent African galleries, opening in fall 2021. The reinstallation will feature UMMA’s historical collection of African art, as well as recent acquisitions of contemporary artworks from artists based in Africa and in the diaspora. 

This museum purchase was made possible by Joseph and Annette Allen.

Inspired by the synergy between nature’s beauty and complexity, and in partnership with the University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens, artists from the Ann Arbor Potters Guild created work centered around Michigan’s natural landscapes and specifically for the Great Lakes Garden at Matthaei. Potters Guild artists created eight free-standing sculptures using the full range of traditional ceramic methods and tools, the potter’s wheel, press molds, coil building, slab construction, and sculpting. Depictions range from naturalistic and representational, to abstract, as well as a whimsical nod or two to the timeless role of fantasy and myth in humankind’s communion with nature.

This summer, the Ann Arbor Summer Festival and UMMA present 600 Highwaymen’s A THOUSAND WAYS, a new, multi-part work that offers enthralling social interactions that deliver us from isolation and toward togetherness.

A Thousand Ways is a three-part performance in which you are the actor and you are the audience. Your words, actions, gestures, silence, thoughts, and willingness are the tools. You need no training. You are the expert. 

Obie Award-winning theater makers, 600 HIGHWAYMEN, known for exhilarating performances that challenge the very definition of theater, have created a quietly radical response to this new world with A Thousand Ways. It is a chance at being heard, a brave moment to show up. 

This is an invitation. Will you attend?

Part One: A Phone Call – On a simple phone call, you and another audience member – nameless strangers to one another – follow a carefully crafted set of directives. Over the course of the journey, a portrait of each other emerges through fleeting moments of exposure and the simple sound of an unseen voice.

If you haven't seen Junior Brown yet, you need to "guit with it"! Junior Brown is a one-man musical hot fusion machine, and he's coming to town with his guit-steel, a unique hybrid contraption that's part electric guitar and part country steel guitar. People call him a cross between Jimi Hendrix and Ernest Tubb. But there's a lot more to say about Junior Brown. There's the fact that he's just about the best surf guitarist around, for example. Or that he's a wonderful composer of traditional country songs, the kind in which each outrageous pun leads you deeper into an emotional blind alley. Come check out the performer voted #1 House Rocker by the readers of Guitar Player! Come pick up a copy of Junior's recent album "Deep in the Heart of Me."

Hot Tuna, the duo of Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, perform with a well-honed and solid power—always in the groove from their years of experience and mutual inspiration. Started as a side project during Jefferson Airplane days, the constant, the very definition of Hot Tuna, has always been Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady. The two boyhood pals have never wavered in one of the most enduring friendships in rock history. From their days playing together as teenagers in the Washington, DC, area, through years in San Francisco (they're 1996 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees), to their current acoustic and electric blues sound, no one has more consistently led American music for the last 50 years. At the 2016 Grammys, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady were honored with Lifetime Achievement Awards, and they're still coming up with new ideas. Hot Tuna performs an electric show tonight in observance of the band's 50th anniversary, with drummer Justin Guip.

High grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the deadliest gynecological malignancy. Despite successful first line therapies, most patients relapse and develop more chemoresistant disease. This recurrence and development of chemoresistance is attributed to a rare population of tumor cells, termed cancer stem cells (CSCs), which are more chemoresistant, have the capacity to self-renew, and can repopulate the entire tumor. Research has shown that CSCs are maintained by the non-cancer cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME), such as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), endothelial cells (ECs), and immune cells. Furthermore, the role of non-cancer cells in clinical outcomes and chemoresistance has been highlighted by recent evidence showing that classification of HGSOC molecular subtypes, which have variable clinical prognoses, are influenced by the presence of non-cancer cells in the tumor. However, it is currently unclear exactly how CSCs and the nuanced cell composition of the TME work together to promote chemoresistance. Current models used to study these phenomena either suffer from a lack of cellular complexity in the case of many in vitro models or impractical experimental constraints such as long latency periods and poor control over cell composition in patient-derived xenografts. To better understand the role of CSCs and the TME cells in chemoresistance, practical in vitro model systems that more closely represent in vivo processes and microenvironments are needed. We hypothesize that the development of these in vitro model systems will contribute novel insights into TME-mediated CSC regulation and the development of chemoresistance in HGSOC.

In aim 1 we examined the emergence of chemoresistance in the context of CSCs by developing a 3D in vitro serial passaging model system that allows for long term culture of patient-derived tumor cells with periodic evaluation of stemness and chemoresistance. Using this model system, we demonstrated increased proliferation, expression of CSC markers, tumorigenicity, and chemoresistance over the course of long-term passaging, reflective of emerging chemoresistance in vivo. Furthermore, this system enabled us to define a malignant gene expression signature that is associated with chemoresistance, tumorigenicity, and stemness and to evaluate patient-specific chemoresistance development following treatment. Finally, we demonstrated the translational value of this model system by showing that Metformin treatment can hinder CSC driven development of chemoresistance in a phase II clinical trial.

In aim 2 we developed a heterogeneous tumoroid culture system that enabled culture of patient-derived tumor cells with controlled ratios of MSCs, ECs, and immune cells to study TME-mediated maintenance of CSCs and chemoresistance. Using this model, we found that changes in CD133+/-ALDH+/- CSC phenotypes in response to TME cells varied depending on the patient sample. We also observed increased tumorigenicity and chemoresistance in tumoroids compared to spheroids cultured with patient-derived tumor cells alone. Furthermore, we found evidence of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in tumoroids accompanied by altered CSC phenotypes and a malignant matrisome signature. All of this together supports idea that the non-cancer cells in the TME contribute to the development of advanced, chemoresistant disease and implicates EMT, changes in CSC phenotypes, and matrix remodeling as the primary culprits.

Finally, in aim 3, we utilized this tumoroid system to generate tumoroids with 23 different cell compositions to evaluate the role of TME cell composition in response to therapy. Drug assays with novel and traditional chemotherapies revealed that tumoroids with different compositions respond differently to therapy and that the number of monocytes included in the culture was associated with the greatest resistance to therapy. Furthermore, our random forest models trained on the drug responses of each cell composition were able to predict drug response with moderate success. With these models we identified that nuanced differences in cell composition can influence drug response and that the strongest predictor of response to therapy was the total quantity of non-cancer cells. Overall, this model demonstrates the potential of using the TME composition to predict patient drug response and direct clinical management.

In these aims we demonstrate the clear utility of complex and realistic, yet practical in vitro model systems in the study of chemoresistance and CSC maintenance in ovarian cancer. Specifically, we identified the link between CSCs and the development of chemoresistance in long term 3D in vitro serial passage culture. Furthermore, we showed that the non-cancer cells in the TME can confer chemoresistance and promote EMT associated with altered CSC phenotypes and matrix remodeling. Lastly, we demonstrated the potential of TME composition in predicting drug response. Overall, the model systems presented in this study provide platforms that can be used to better understand the role of CSCs and the TME in chemoresistance and poor clinical outcomes. This could ultimately lead to the development of novel therapies, enhanced clinical management, and improved clinical outcomes.

Inspired by the synergy between nature’s beauty and complexity, and in partnership with the University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens, artists from the Ann Arbor Potters Guild created work centered around Michigan’s natural landscapes and specifically for the Great Lakes Garden at Matthaei. Potters Guild artists created eight free-standing sculptures using the full range of traditional ceramic methods and tools, the potter’s wheel, press molds, coil building, slab construction, and sculpting. Depictions range from naturalistic and representational, to abstract, as well as a whimsical nod or two to the timeless role of fantasy and myth in humankind’s communion with nature. Exhibit is free but scheduled reservations are required to visit the botanical gardens. Use this link to book your visit: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050f4aadad22a2fd0-matthaei1

Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

Hot Tuna, the duo of Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, perform with a well-honed and solid power—always in the groove from their years of experience and mutual inspiration. Started as a side project during Jefferson Airplane days, the constant, the very definition of Hot Tuna, has always been Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady. The two boyhood pals have never wavered in one of the most enduring friendships in rock history. From their days playing together as teenagers in the Washington, DC, area, through years in San Francisco (they're 1996 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees), to their current acoustic and electric blues sound, no one has more consistently led American music for the last 50 years. At the 2016 Grammys, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady were honored with Lifetime Achievement Awards, and they're still coming up with new ideas. Hot Tuna performs an electric show tonight in observance of the band's 50th anniversary, with drummer Justin Guip.

Inspired by the synergy between nature’s beauty and complexity, and in partnership with the University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens, artists from the Ann Arbor Potters Guild created work centered around Michigan’s natural landscapes and specifically for the Great Lakes Garden at Matthaei. Potters Guild artists created eight free-standing sculptures using the full range of traditional ceramic methods and tools, the potter’s wheel, press molds, coil building, slab construction, and sculpting. Depictions range from naturalistic and representational, to abstract, as well as a whimsical nod or two to the timeless role of fantasy and myth in humankind’s communion with nature. Exhibit is free but scheduled reservations are required to visit the botanical gardens. Use this link to book your visit: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050f4aadad22a2fd0-matthaei1

The sessions are designed for space to hear your voice and all are welcome!

The "Becoming" activity is centered on personal storytelling, self-reflection, & honest vulnerability in the DEI space and provides an opportunity to learn more about our colleagues and the impact that DEI has on their lives. Using a Q&A interviewing approach to begin the conversation, facilitators will help interviewees speak to their own experiences in the DEI journey & create more meaningful connections through open conversation. This is designed as a 1-hour session, beginning with the conversation & storytelling portion & ending with a larger group discussion.

Talk: How I became a Systems Engineer

Ever since I was a kid, I was intrigued with how computers worked and I built my first one at the age of 12. In this talk, I will explain why I chose the engineering path early in my career. I will describe my career path from my help desk days in biotech to my current position as a systems engineer at Yelp, and give advice on how to be successful when it comes to choosing a rewarding career path.

--

Yelp’s mission is to connect people with great local businesses, and one of the teams working behind the scenes to make that happen is our five star engineering and product teams.

Playing an active role in our community is a value that we have strongly prioritized over the years. Typically we would invite you to come to Yelp’s HQ to network, grab a slice of ‘za, and learn about the technology and culture behind Yelp. With stay-at-home orders across the globe, Yelp (like many of you) has had no choice but to adapt to these changes. We understand that this is a strange and challenging time for many, so we’d like to invite you to join us as we navigate this new normal for the tech community together.

To stay connected, create space for folks to collaborate and share some of the things Yelp has been working on, we are launching our very own virtual tech talk series. This series of talks will feature Yelpers from engineering and product and will focus on themes such as career development, technical skills, workplace challenges and Yelp’s response to COVID-19.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Biomedical Engineering

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor in adults and has a poor prognosis with a median survival of approximately 14 months. Clinical standard assessment of therapy response and tumor progression is based upon post-contrast T1-weighted (T1W) and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) T2-weighted (T2W) magnetic resonance images (MRI).  However, contrast enhancement observed on the post-contrast T1W MRI is affected not only by tumor growth but also effects of radiation, anti-angiogenesis drugs and chemotherapy, due to the fact that it represents blood-brain barrier disruption. Another problem is that abnormality on T2W FLAIR images is influenced by T2 changes of tumor cells as well as edema and necrosis that always co-exist within GBM. Diffusion weighted (DW) imaging has been proposed to overcome these limitations. Conventional DW images quantify apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) with b-values between 0 and 1000 s/mm2 using a mono-exponential decay. One limitation is that co-existence of edema in clinical GBM elevates ADC.
 
In diffusion MRI, there are three dimensions of parameter spaces that we could explore in research —b value, diffusion time (t) and echo time (TE). Hence, we investigated and developed high order diffusion models in these three spaces and evaluated whether they could reveal more features of GBM.
 
In the b-value space, we investigated a microstructure model (MSM), in which modulation of diffusion gradient with cell size is considered, with high b-value diffusion images in the patients with GBM pre-radiation therapy (RT). We found apparent cell size (ARS), extracellular diffusion coefficient (Dex) and intracellular fractional volume (Vin) in tumor were significantly greater than ones in normal tissue and edema. In addition, we investigated diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) in GBM pre-RT and mid-RT, and found pre-RT mean kurtosis of the tumor could provide a predictive value of overall survival (OS) additional to clinical prognostic factors.
 
In the TE space, T2-Relaxation-Diffusion correlation experiments can be powerful in resolving water compartments with respect to their size and chemical composition, but the problem is ill-posed. We simplified the T2-Relaxation-Diffusion correlation to consider the T2 values and diffusion coefficients in a 2x2 fashion. We found that there were significant differences between fast and slow diffusion coefficients and between associated T2 values in tumor, cortex, deep GM, and edema. Multivariate Cox model showed the fractional volume of slow component (Vs) mid-RT may add a predictive value to clinical factors.
 
In diffusion time space, we applied three different diffusion times using pulsed diffusion gradients (PG) and oscillating gradients at frequencies of 30 Hz (OS30) and 50 Hz (OS50) using a prototype sequence. Using a random walk with barriers model, we estimated cell diameter, unrestricted diffusion coefficient (D0) at a short time limit, bulk diffusion coefficient (Dinf) at a long time limit, cell membrane permeability and effective restriction in the contrast-enhanced tumor. Those parameters provide microstructural information in the GBM and need to be further investigated and validated with pathology.
 
Previous studies have mainly investigated high order diffusion models in prostate cancer and xenograft tumor models, and only a few studies investigated GBM. The current knowledge about the relationship between model parameters and physiological/pathological features in GBM are still limited. Our research in GBM could lead to better imaging means for GBM diagnosis, tumor target definition for radiation therapy, and therapy response assessment.

How to Use TransPop Data: The first national probability sample of transgender individuals in the United States (July 22, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/84448 84448-21623998@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, July 22, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research

Join us for a virtual presentation of TransPop, the first national probability sample of transgender individuals in the United States. During this presentation you'll learn how to use these data to reach your own groundbreaking results.

The TransPop study not only describes the demographic make-up of the transgender population and their experiences related to identity and transition, but also aims to provide information on areas like health outcomes, health care access, quality of life, and experiences with discrimination.

In addition to being the first national probability sample of transgender individuals in the United States, it also includes a comparative cisgender sample. A primary goal of this study was to provide researchers with a representative sample of transgender people in the United States. The study examines a variety of health-relevant domains including health outcomes and health behaviors, experiences with interpersonal and institutional discrimination, identity, transition-related experiences, and basic demographic characteristics (age, race/ethnicity, religion, political party affiliation, marital status, employment, income, location, sex, gender, and education).

The TransPop study is available at https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR37938.v1.

This webinar is free and open to the public. A live transcript will be available. The webinar will be recorded, and the recording and slides will be sent to all registrants after the webinar.
