In the early years of the American Studio Glass Movement (1974-1984) Babcock’s sculptural and painterly expression utilized the vessel format. By layering color — both mass and line — between gathers of clear\, molten glass\, the full compositions are viewed through the vessel as three-dimensional. Babcock is Professor Emeritus\, College for Creative Studies. He was Section Chair of the Glass Department where he taught for 40 years. He lives in Ann Arbor and built a new studio near U-M north campus in 2016.

His grandfather Arthur Desch stoked coal in steam engines before becoming a train engineer on the Jersey Central Line. At family gatherings in Chadwick’s grandparent’s home\, his aunts and cousins played music to the rhythms of the trains outside. From Junior Parker\, Elvis Presley\, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash\, to arts writers and directors Greil Marcus and Jim Jarmusch\, the enduring mythos of America and its legacy has been wrapped up in the blues notes of the song “Mystery Train”. Chadwick’s current series of paintings\, Mystery Train\, is steeped in the powerful echoes of those machine days.

Those that the knife does not cure are cured by fire. Those that fire does not cure\, must be considered incurable.” Hippocrates in 370 BC made the first recorded mention of the use of heat as a therapeutic. To this day\, the effect of temperature on the body is of interest to clinicians\, athletes\, researchers\, and perhaps anyone that has lived through Georgia summers or Michigan winters. The body maintains temperature homeostasis by the process of thermoregulation. The body’s ability to thermoregulate is an important coping mechanism to withstand various physiological states\, such as fever\, and environmental exposures such as the weather. The cardiovascular (CV) system plays a vital role in thermoregulation because of its influence on heat transfer via forced convection and conduction by changes in blood distribution\, blood velocity\, and proximity of tissues. It remains unclear how the allocation of blood in various compartments (such as the innermost core\, fat\, muscle\, and skin) changes with temperature. Challenges in measuring core vasculature have resulted in a lack of empirical information regarding how it might change with core temperature. Therefore\, to fully understand the CV system’s role in thermoregulation\, this thesis focuses on using murine models to study the effect of temperature on core vasculature. The overall purpose is to provide a novel and physiologically accurate approach to studying thermoregulation by incorporating structural and functional changes in the CV system occurring in the core. Using murine models and MRI\, we noninvasively quantified structural and functional vascular response in core arteries and veins to increasing core body temperature. We also studied the effects of sex and age on the CV response to increasing temperature. Using a PID-controlled heater to blow hot air across the animals\, core temperature was controlled from mild hypothermia (35 °C) to mild hyperthermia (38 °C). At each temperature\, we imaged three to four locations of the body from head-to-toe\, and quantified blood flow and velocity\, vessel area\, and\nmeasured circumferential cyclic strain of the core vessels. Overall\, we have shown: 1) that increases in flow occur in most arteries and veins\, which is opposite to current hypotheses regarding the venous response\; 2) that the magnitude of increased flow varies based on anatomical location\; and\, 3) that the increase in flow sometimes involves cross-sectional area and velocity and other times involves only one or the other. These vascular responses are also influenced by sex and age. It is important to incorporate the cardiovascular changes occurring in the core into future bioheat or computational fluid dynamics modeling because blood flow is critical in heat\ngeneration and transfer in vivo. This research can help researchers\, clinicians\, and others interested in temperature’s effect to better model and predict cardiovascular outcomes.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

Being the best in the world in science is important—but it’s not sufficient to create national wealth and security. We need a national strategy and investment to convert research results into successful products made in the U.S. and competitive industrial sectors. This talk will highlight the findings and recommendations made in the MForesight’s Manufacturing Prosperity report. The talk will also present a case for establishing a National Manufacturing Foundation for sustained new investment in translational R&D in engineering and manufacturing disciplines\, pilot production\, empowering small and medium sized manufacturers and growing the engineering talent.\n\nMForesight: Alliance for Manufacturing Foresight\, based at the University of Michigan\, is a federally-funded national consortium (think-and-do tank) focused on accelerating technological innovation to enhance U.S. manufacturing competitiveness\n\nBio\nSridhar Kota is the Herrick Professor of Engineering\, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan. He is the founding Executive Director of MForesight since 2015. During 2009-2012\, Prof. Kota served as the Assistant Director for Advanced Manufacturing at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) where he played an instrumental role in establishing National Manufacturing Innovation Institutes\, and National Robotics Initiative. Kota authored over 200 technical papers\, 30 patents and has received numerous awards including the ASME Machine Design Award\, Leonardo da Vinci Award\, Outstanding Educator Award and the University of Michigan Regents’ award for Distinguished Public Service and the Distinguished University Innovator Award.

His visionary and pithy conceptions of corporate and non-profit brand identities—though often graphically minimal—embody the artist’s complex philosophy\, interest in modernist aesthetics\, and singular wit. This exhibition features posters\, book covers\, and packaging designs from Rand’s beginnings as a pro bono designer for arts and culture publications like Direction magazine to his decades of crafting trailblazing corporate design for companies such as IBM. Paul Rand: The Designer’s Task affords viewers the opportunity to explore the genre of graphic design within the context of the art museum and examine how Rand’s intellectual process and impact on visual culture developed over time.\n\n UID:58560-14511086@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58560 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,Philosophy,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - The Jan and David Brandon Family Bridge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190102T121618 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190118T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190118T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Proof: The Ryoichi Excavations DESCRIPTION:A narrative of Ryoichi's archaeological work \nThe story of Japanese archaeologist Ryoichi and evidence of his worldwide excavations are explored by Patrick Nagatani in this series of photographs.

The focus of this talk is on the self-encounters that take place in diaristic paratexts from non-Jewish Germans who wrote diaries during the Second World War. The diary’s paratexts highlight the discontinuous nature of the self\, the various ways individuals position themselves as Zeitzeugen\, and the diary’s function as a space for writerly self-construction in the context of German Aufarbeitung der Vergangenheit.

A ubiquitous effect of leaf wetness on plant water balance is the interference of the water droplets with the leaf energy balance\, which increases leaf albedo and emissivity and decreases leaf temperature through droplet evaporation. This in turns affects the vegetation carbon uptake rate\, with potential consequences for the whole global carbon cycle. Here\, I use the specific example of dew deposition to understand how leaf wetness affects water and CO2 fluxes of plants. First\, I will present a simple leaf energy balance that characterizes the effect of deposition and the evaporation of dew on transpiration and carbon uptake. The model is driven by five common meteorological variables and is used to explore the tradeoffs between energy\, water\, and carbon balances for leaves of different sizes across a range of environmental conditions. I will then present results from a laboratory experiment\nwhere Colocasia esculenta leaves were misted with isotopically enriched water to mimic canopy interception. Leaf water isotopes and water potential measurements corroborates the results of the model.

Despite more than five decades of research\, the coupled long-term geologic history of seawater temperature and δ18O remains a topic of intense debate. The problem exists because the δ18O values measured in marine sedimentary rocks (e.g.\, carbonates\, cherts) reflect both their temperature of formation and the δ18O of the seawater from which they formed. This duality has prevented a unique interpretation of a long-term secular increase in δ18O values recorded in marine sedimentary rocks\, which can be used to infer either much warmer (>70°C) early oceans\, much more 18O-depleted seawater\, or a combination of the two. We addressed this problem with a new record of δ18O in iron oxides formed in shallow marine environments through time. The new record shows that the long-term secular increase observed in the δ18O values of various marine precipitates is due to enrichment of seawater in 18O rather than in a gradual cooling of Earth’s oceans. The record suggests that Earth’s climate has been mostly warm and stable over the past 3.5 billion years\, implying the existence of efficient climate stabilization feedbacks. A possible driver of the long-term increase in seawater δ18O values is decreasing heat production in the Earth’s interior through time and its effect on seafloor spreading rates and oceanic plate lifetimes. As the water-rock interactions that govern seawater δ18O through time are also those that drive the chemical evolution of the oceans\, a robust seawater δ18O record importantly also informs the long-term evolution of seawater chemistry.

Despite many eyewitnesses claims that she was intentionally murdered by the bulldozer driver\, the American administration never asked for an independent inquiry\, and the case was classified and forgotten. \n \n Five years later\, director Simone Bitton is somehow doing what a court should have done. \"RACHEL\" is a deep cinema investigation into the death of a young unknown girl\, made with a rigour and scope normally reserved for first-rate historical characters. It gives word to all the people involved in Rachel's story\, from Palestinian and international witnesses to Israeli military spokespersons and investigators\, doctors\, activists and soldiers linked to the affair. The film begins as a classical documentary\, but very soon it develops and transcends its subject\, transforming into a cinematographic meditation on youth\, war\, idealism and political utopia. Palestine\, the reality of which is filmed close-up\, becomes a metaphor - a tomb for a child of today. \n\n---\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

But these interventions have had mixed impacts: in addition to perpetuating the West’s dominance\, these technologies are often simply rejected by citizens in the developing world because they do not embody relevant values and priorities. But in recent years the international development landscape has changed. The players involved have diversified\, now including international and local NGOs\, social entrepreneurs and innovators\, venture capitalists\, universities\, and developing world governments. And\, there have been growing calls to ensure that interventions are “evidence-based”\, preferably deployed on the basis of large-scale\, quantitative evidence and even randomized controlled trials. How have these changes affect the pro-poor technology landscape and its politics? What are the implications for citizens in the developing world? In this paper I explore these questions by focusing on the politics of the sanitary pad in India. In recent years\, “period poverty” has come to be seen as an important development issue\, with sanitary pads becoming the main solution. Rather than the result of systematic and unbiased evidence gathering\, however\, I argue that this problem and solution are the result of the new credibility regimes that underlie development governance today. I pay attention to how and why particular kinds of interventions are recognized and validated by public and private\, large and small\, development initiatives. Indeed\, even the definitions of knowledge and expertise are shaped by these priorities. The national and international media play important roles in influencing the sanitary pad intervention as well. Finally\, I explore how these politics shape the role\, rights\, and responsibilities of the female citizen in India.\n\nShobita Parthasarathy is Professor of Public Policy and Women's Studies\, and Director of the Science\, Technology\, and Public Policy Program\, at University of Michigan.

In this talk\, I'll present new research on argument mining\, a relatively new area of study in NLP that focuses less on extracting from text WHAT people think or feel\, but rather analyzing argumentative text to understand WHY they do so. Specifically\, I will first present some of our new research on the automatic analysis of informal\, user-generated arguments in which we aim to expose the intended underlying structure of the argument. Next\, I'll present our research that examines arguments on a public debate forum to understand what makes one argument more convincing than another. \n\nBio: Claire Cardie is the John C.

While trans issues were hardly on the political radar in the 1990s and 2000s\, trans communities today have become a major target of exclusionary laws and practices.\n\nLanguage has played a major role in the uncertain place of trans communities in contemporary American society\; indeed\, being trans is as much about language as it is about clothing\, hairstyles\, and medical interventions. We can see the crystallization of linguistic conflict on college campuses in particular\, where discussions of names\, pronouns\, and identity labels have led to national\, and even international\, debates on questions like whether people should be given the power to select the pronouns others should use when talking about them. Yet Linguists have only rarely weighed in on these issues on the broad scale\, despite possessing a number of tools and principles that can help us understand the language reform efforts in which trans people are engaged.\n\nThis talk focuses on three domains of language in order to explore the critiques being levied by trans language reform activists\, the responses to those critiques by non-trans people\, and how linguistics might inform these debates. The first aspect of language discussed is the English pronoun system – the highest profile and perhaps most contentious aspect of trans language reform in the United States. I discuss the political discourses surrounding pronoun practices and how trans activists are pushing not only for new pronouns\, but new ways of thinking and talking about pronouns. The second linguistic issue is talk about the body. While self-identification is increasingly recognized as determining a person’s social gender\, bodies are typically seen as having an “objective truth” that is not susceptible to self-definition. Here I explore the ways trans people are advancing alternative models for understanding “biological sex” that recognizes the highly social nature of human embodiment. The final aspect of linguistic structure discussed here is grammatical gender systems in languages that display much more extensive marking of gender than English does. Here I also reflect on language pedagogy and how the strategies for teaching these languages perpetuates trans exclusion.\n\nEach aspect of language discussed in this talk highlights the material impacts that language has on trans lives. We can draw a direct line between language and trans people’s oppression\, and for this reason we each have a moral obligation to consider the implications of our own language use. The talk concludes with a discussion of the relationship between linguistics and transgender communities\, arguing that the relative absence of trans people from our discipline should push us to consider the potential exclusionary effects of our models of language and how our academic work might be used to empower this still highly marginalized community.

At the same time\, interest in and development of the next generation of nuclear reactors is growing at an unprecedented rate\, and some other nations are building new reactors efficiently. Can the current fleet reduce costs? Will the next generation of designs be \"walkaway safe\" and cost-competitive? What about safeguards and recycling of nuclear fuel? Many new technologies\, including Data Analytics and Machine Learning\, can be impactful in answering these questions. This talk will frame some of the big challenges in nuclear energy and how new technologies are starting to be used. We'll also look to the future in terms of where the biggest impacts are likely to be and what we can do to move quickly.\n\nBio: Rachel Slaybaugh is an Assistant Professor of Nuclear Engineering at the University of California\, Berkeley.

Control of cell-cycle entry and exit has been conceptualized by the restriction point\, a time when cells escape the need for mitogens to complete the cell cycle. Our single-cell microscopy studies discovered instead two parallel and partially redundant pathways to enter the cell cycle out of quiescence and three pathways out of mitosis. In lieu of a sharp restriction point\, we find a progressive stabilization of both increasing CDK4/6 and CDK2 activities when tested by mitogen removal or stress\, a stabilization that ends with an irreversible commitment point driven by multiple positive feedbacks. I will delineate core principles\, molecular mechanisms and timing of this fundamental cell-fate commitment whose abnormal regulation is a main cause for cancer.

She is passionate about painting plein air (outdoors) whenever possible\, as she feels the direct observation from life is the best teacher to truly see the subtleties of light and color in nature. Working on sanded paper\, her process begins with a pastel and alcohol/mineral spirits under-painting wash to establish value and color. Soft pastel is applied in layers\, often in contrasting color and temperatures for vibrancy. Over her 35-year career in painting\, Will has won numerous national awards. She also operates a custom framing business from her home/studio in Washington Township and teaches occasional workshops.

This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects\; bilingualism in Egypt\; books read by the Egyptian monks\; and the works of Shenoute the Great\, the most important author of Coptic literature.\n\nThis exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

His visionary and pithy conceptions of corporate and non-profit brand identities—though often graphically minimal—embody the artist’s complex philosophy\, interest in modernist aesthetics\, and singular wit. This exhibition features posters\, book covers\, and packaging designs from Rand’s beginnings as a pro bono designer for arts and culture publications like Direction magazine to his decades of crafting trailblazing corporate design for companies such as IBM. Paul Rand: The Designer’s Task affords viewers the opportunity to explore the genre of graphic design within the context of the art museum and examine how Rand’s intellectual process and impact on visual culture developed over time.\n\n UID:58560-14511088@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58560 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,Philosophy,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - The Jan and David Brandon Family Bridge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190102T121618 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190120T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190120T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Proof: The Ryoichi Excavations DESCRIPTION:A narrative of Ryoichi's archaeological work \nThe story of Japanese archaeologist Ryoichi and evidence of his worldwide excavations are explored by Patrick Nagatani in this series of photographs.

According to the photographs\, Ryoichi discovered evidence of an automobile culture buried at sites across several continents: Stonehenge\, the Grand Canyon\, and a necropolis in China.

The complete Declaration is comprised of a Preamble and 30 Articles. In honor of the 60th anniversary of this document\, we are exhibiting 14 Articles in the form of illustrated prints by Meredith Stern. These contemporary prints are intended both to make people aware of this rights roadmap and to show its urgent relevance in our contemporary political moment.\n\nMeredith Stern is an artist currently based in Providence\, RI\, and a member of the Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative\, a decentralized network of 30 artists committed to social\, environmental\, and political engagement. Stern created a total of 28 sets of these linocut prints in 2017\, of which one is held in the Joseph A. Labadie Collection in the Special Collections Research Center.

This exhibition explores the gendered and racialized terms upon which great art was defined and assessed\, and the strategy of artists to question the identity and aesthetics of the artist making the art.

American Roots UK hails them as \"the very best of the 21st century’s minimalist and highly original folk music ... a peerless duo.\" Their latest\, \"Fall Away Blues\,\" features new songwriting fused with old-time and country blues themes\, tackling topical subjects such as gun violence and environmentalism as well as age-old questions of place and love. Red Tail Ring \"doesn’t just pay homage to vintage folk and roots music: The Kalamazoo duo breathes new life into it\, channeling the power and charm of seminal material into its own original songs\,\" says west Michigan critic John Sinkevics.\n\nShari Kane and Dave Steele first met in the summer of 1991\, crossing paths as performing blues musicians: Shari was the partner of harmonica legend\, Madcat Ruth (Madcat & Kane)\, while Dave was leading the electric blues band Big Dave and the Ultrasonics. Friends\, neighbors\, fellow musicians and fans have asked over the years\, \"When are you two going to start playing together?\" The truth is\, they've been playing together since their first date. In many ways their playing has developed side by side\, listening to and learning from great acoustic blues guitarists from the past. As an acoustic blues duo\, Shari and Dave throw a four-handed guitar party of original and time-honored blues\, gospel\, swing and ragtime. Steeped in Dave’s smoky vocals\, percussive rhythm\, and innovative lead lines\, and Shari’s crisp picking style\, rootsy leads\, and stinging slidework\, their music has been described as \"street swing and stomp blues\"—like a testament to sounds once heard on the streets of Harlem\, the juke joints of Mississippi\, or from the jug bands of Memphis UID:56707-13967646@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/56707 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190120T120018 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190121T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190121T150000 SUMMARY:Other:Bubble Bowl DESCRIPTION:   UID:58643-14831912@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58643 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:University of Pittsburgh CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190120T120011 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190121T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190121T133000 SUMMARY:Other:Camp Perry Open DESCRIPTION:Michigan Rifle Team will be competing in the Camp Perry Open at the Civilian Marksmanship Program.  UID:59727-14831749@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59727 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Civilian Marksmanship Program CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180920T112226 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190121T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190121T120000 SUMMARY:Other:February 15\, 2019-Michigan in Washington Application Deadline DESCRIPTION:MIW application deadline for regular admission Fall 2019 and early admission Winter 2020.

She is passionate about painting plein air (outdoors) whenever possible\, as she feels the direct observation from life is the best teacher to truly see the subtleties of light and color in nature. Working on sanded paper\, her process begins with a pastel and alcohol/mineral spirits under-painting wash to establish value and color. Soft pastel is applied in layers\, often in contrasting color and temperatures for vibrancy. Over her 35-year career in painting\, Will has won numerous national awards. She also operates a custom framing business from her home/studio in Washington Township and teaches occasional workshops.

DESCRIPTION:Debates abound about pronouns on class rosters\, the name of the Washington Redskins\, the reclamation of the word “queer\,” trigger warnings\, the connotations of “lady” versus “woman\,” the choice of “black” or “Black” or “African American\,” and telling someone to “check their privilege\,” just to name a few. \n\nWho has the right to tell others how they should and shouldn’t use language—and when? Do “superficial” changes in the language we use really matter? What’s at stake in debates about language? \n\nEfforts to render language more respectful and inclusive of all persons are sometimes perceived as policing other people’s language\, and “politically correct” is no longer a neutral term (if it ever really was). In this workshop\, Professor Anne Curzan and Professor Robin Queen discuss the merits and the criticisms of “politically correct” language\, drawing from specific cases that have received national attention as well as significant attention on the University of Michigan campus.

BDS\, Nonviolence\, and MLK's Legacy in the Middle East DESCRIPTION:“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality\, tied in a single garment of destiny.” -- Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. (Nobel Peace Prize\, 1964) \n\nThe legacy of MLK not only demands justice at home\, but justice abroad -- dignity\, socio-economic equality\, and human rights globally. The world's threats were characterized by him as the “triple giant evils” of racism\, poverty\, and militarism. How does that legacy inform the quest for justice in Israel/Palestine today? \n \nThe CMENAS Teach-In Town Hall will explore the implications of MLK's message as it pertains to a particular protest strategy: the BDS (Boycott\, Divestment\, Sanctions) movement in solidarity with Palestinian and Israeli nonviolent activists. More than 100 artists and musicians\, in addition to 37 Jewish groups in 15 countries\, have joined the BDS movement to protest state structures of oppression in Israel deemed \"apartheid\" by many thinkers and activists\, including Nobel Peace Laureates\, Jimmy Carter and Desmond Tutu. \n \nCMENAS hosts three BDS experts to discuss MLK's legacy in the Middle East\, including activists Cindy and Craig Corrie (Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice) and Prof. David Palumbo-Liu (Stanford University). After their brief presentations\, an open exchange will unfold with Q & A and discussion in a Town Hall format. \n \nA luncheon reception will follow the event. Everyone welcome!\n\nFunded by CMENAS Endowment\, International Institute\, Arab & Muslim American Studies\, International Studies (U-M Library)\, Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar\, the Departments of American Culture\, Sociology\, Afroamerican and African Studies\, Women’s Studies\, Anthropology\, and the Humanities Institute.\n \n----\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

Real-world systems\, however\, frequently involve larger groups inter-communicating simultaneously. While some of these larger group interactions can be well approximated dyadically\, others are left without a natural mathematical description for study. This talk will present some initial work tailoring concepts of simplicial sets from homology theory to address some of these questions and will demonstrate some simulation-based results with direct implication for communication systems. We will conclude with some discussion of how these perspectives might let us design efficient social groups to best accomplish different types of communication.

We begin with the spatial distribution of 220 notified cases in the at–risk population. Next\, we use the dose-response relationship (established via historical experiments) to convert the observed risk map into an estimated smooth spatial field of local dose. Based on the observed symptomatic cases\, the dose–response model predicts a median of 611 asymptomatic infections (95% range 410 to 1\,084)\, i.e.\, 2.78 (95% range 1.86 to 4.93) asymptomatic infections for each reported case. The estimated peak levels of exposure extend to the north–east from the point source with an increasing proportion of asymptomatic infections further from the source. Our work combines established methodology from model-based geostatistics and dose-response modeling providing a novel approach to study outbreaks. Such predictions (and associated uncertainties) are important for targeting interventions during an outbreak\, estimating future disease burden\, and planning public health response. \n\nJoint work with R.

Our current interests are focused on the synthesis and chemical biology of mammalian and bacterial glycans that are known to engage in biological recognition and signaling events and show a promising therapeutic and diagnostic potential. While chemical synthesis has enabled a better understanding of the role of saccharides in homeostatic and developmental processes\, key obstacles such as suboptimal selectivities in chemical glycosylation reactions await broadly applicable solutions. In this presentation\, I will describe the development of metal-catalyzed methods that capitalize on stereoretentive reactions of anomeric nucleophiles suitable for the formation of C(sp3)-C and C(sp3)-heteroatom bonds. This seminar will also feature selected applications of the glycosyl cross-coupling method\, mechanistic and computational studies that guided new reaction discovery\, and integration with modern automation technologies. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nMaciej Walczak (University of Colorado) UID:52430-12706750@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52430 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181010T142931 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190122T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190122T180000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:UROP Finding and Understanding Data Workshop DESCRIPTION:This workshop is for UROP students only.

Mentorship is one effective and rewarding way of supporting the pipeline of folks from underrepresented groups in our fields. In this talk\, I’ll discuss the evidence for prioritizing mentorship in promoting diversity and my own experience with mentorship as a gay woman in STEM.\nAunrika Tucker-Shabazz\n\nHometown: DeKalb\, Illinois\nDegree Program: Ph.D. Student\, Sociology\n\nFighting the Hidden Fees: Unraveling Disciplinary Disparities in Public School Punishment of Young Black Girls\nBlack girls continue in 2018 to be understudied and overlooked by research investigating the impact of criminalizing children through stigmatizing school discipline strategies\, despite being the fastest growing demographic affected by the strictest disciplinary procedures such as expulsion\, indefinite suspension\, arrests\, and referrals to the juvenile system (Girlhood Interrupted: The Erasure of Black Girls’ Childhood [2017]). But Black girls need more attention as subjects outside of the academy and inside our communities. When disciplining young Black girls for minor misbehaviors\, school officials often unevenly distribute the “benefits and disadvantages of doubt” in racially gendered ways that expose Black girls to the criminal justice system as early as pre-school. By exploring the trend of pre-school arrests of Black girls since 2005\, this talk aims at unraveling the hidden tolls Black girls are forced to pay along the school-to-prison pipeline.\nKavitha Lobo\n\nHometown: San Diego\, California\nDegree Program: Master’s Student\, Social Work\n\nCare Not Cure: The Benefits of Deinstitutionalizing Mental Health Care\nAs part of a global social work project I designed\, I was recently immersed in the tiny town of Geel\, Belgium\, which has a 750-year history of deinstitutionalized mental health care. This is practiced in Geel through placing boarders\, the term used for those with mental illness\, with foster families who welcome and accept boarders as they are. In comparing how the Geelian culture has produced and sustained the family foster care system to the cultural attitudes towards mental health care in America\, I will unravel conceptions around alternative modalities of mental health care. In looking at the humanizing\, community-based approach to psychiatric care in Geel I will show how benefits are emphasized in those otherwise seen as burdened and burdens due to their psychological difference.\nSteven M. Smith\n\nHometown: Detroit and St. Clair\, Michigan\nDegree Program: Master’s Student\, Public Administration and Sport Management\n\nOur Most Valuable Things: Connecting with Each Other\, and the Time We Have\nWe in society today need to unravel from the frivolous things that take up our time and connect to the work that we want to do and need to do—the work that is necessary to better our lives and the lives of those who are around us. I want to address why we need to do this: to advance ourselves\, but just as importantly connect to our communities and the people we are surrounded by. It’s no secret that while we are connected through technology like never before\, there is a sense of isolation that many people feel\, and I believe it has to do with our values and the communities that we have drifted away from.

His grandfather Arthur Desch stoked coal in steam engines before becoming a train engineer on the Jersey Central Line. At family gatherings in Chadwick’s grandparent’s home\, his aunts and cousins played music to the rhythms of the trains outside. From Junior Parker\, Elvis Presley\, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash\, to arts writers and directors Greil Marcus and Jim Jarmusch\, the enduring mythos of America and its legacy has been wrapped up in the blues notes of the song “Mystery Train”. Chadwick’s current series of paintings\, Mystery Train\, is steeped in the powerful echoes of those machine days.

While a small but growing body of literature has examined the role of instructor gender at the higher education level\, it typically focuses only on academic outcomes. This paper utilizes a unique data set that includes not only information about student course performance in STEM but also a number of motivation-related measures. We find that having a female instructor narrows the gender gap in terms of engagement and interest\; further\, both female and male students tend to respond to instructor gender. We conclude by discussing the policy implications of these findings.\n\nThe Causal Inference in Education Research Seminar takes place every Wednesday from 8:30 to 10:00am in Weill Hall 3240\, and breakfast is provided.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

His visionary and pithy conceptions of corporate and non-profit brand identities—though often graphically minimal—embody the artist’s complex philosophy\, interest in modernist aesthetics\, and singular wit. This exhibition features posters\, book covers\, and packaging designs from Rand’s beginnings as a pro bono designer for arts and culture publications like Direction magazine to his decades of crafting trailblazing corporate design for companies such as IBM.

DESCRIPTION:President Donald Trump has tackled international trade policy during his second year in of office\, just as he promised he would during his 2016 election campaign. Tariffs on steel and aluminum from various countries\, exports from China\, and potentially on automobiles and supply chains are having an effect – including the likelihood that consumers at home will see rising prices in the months and years to come. Renegotiated trade agreements made with South Korea\, Mexico\, and Canada will also change trade outcomes and could in influence corporate decision making in the manufacturing of goods and products. Please join us for an enlightening presentation by Professor Alan Deardorff who will explore these and other changes taking place in trade policy\, and their likely implications for Michigan\, the United States\, and the world!\n\nAlan V. Deardorff is the John W. Sweetland Professor of International Economics and Professor of Public Policy. His research focuses on international trade.

National Minorities as a Legal Category in the Czech Republic (and Beyond) at the Time of Rising Nationalism DESCRIPTION:The Czech philosopher Jan Patočka wrote in Europe and the post-European Age that demolition is a certain type of construction. The current rise of nationalism\, the erosion of the rule of law\, and the dismantlement of liberal state institutions in Europe raise concerns about what could be built after that demolition of the European order. While Hungary and Poland have made a sharp right-turn\, the Czech Republic is still at the crossroads. Which way might it go? In this lecture\, Hofmannová will focus on the status of national minorities and discuss the differences between a “conservative” and a “flexible” definition of what constitute a national minority. Does a flexible approach\, advocated by International organizations\, still have a chance to be promoted in Europe? \n \nHelena Hofmannová is an associate professor of constitutional law at Charles University in Prague as well as an adviser to the judge of the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic. After the fall of communism\, she has been a pioneer researcher in the field of the legal and social positions of Jewish minorities in the Czech Republic. Recently\, in light of the threats to liberal democracy\, she has lectured on human rights protection and democratic theory\, with a special focus on Europe. Between 2012 and 2014\, she was a member of the Advisory Committee of the Framework Convention on the Protection of National Minorities. In 2018\, she was appointed to the Council of Europe’s European Commission against Racism and Intolerance. She is the author and co-author of several books\, as well as a number of articles. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to crees@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

In this talk I will discuss this model in the deep infrared limit where the theory has an emergent conformal (reparametrization) symmetry that is broken both spontaneously and explicitly. To study the validity of ETH\, we compute the heavy- light correlation functions of operators in the conformal spectrum of the theory. We compute these correlation functions with and without the contribution of the low energy (Schwarzian) modes\, which are known to be the origin of the chaotic behaviour in this theory. In considering the contributions of the Schwarzian modes we find a weaker form of ETH: while the heavy operator insertions increase the effective temperature perceived by the light insertions\, this effective temperature is proportional to the background temperature and goes to zero with the background temperature. In the case where Schwarzian modes aren’t considered\, we find ETH in limit in which the weight of the heavy operators approach infinity. I will also discuss implications of these results for the states in AdS2 gravity dual.

Consistent with this work\, electrocortical studies demonstrate that alpha\, a neural oscillation\, similarly increases in power during rest and when people engage in self-referential processing. However\, there are substantial individual and cultural differences in alpha power during rest. Here\, we tested whether variation in alpha power could be explained by culture and self-construal. Previous cross-cultural work established that American culture tends to emphasize the autonomy of the self (independence)\, whereas Asian culture tends to emphasize the self in reference to others (interdependence). We hypothesized that alpha power would be greater among Americans than Asians and should increase as a function of independent versus interdependent self-construal. To test these predictions\, we collected data from a total 172 participants and compared Japanese to European Americans (Study 1) and Taiwanese to European Americans (Study 2). In both studies\, we found greater parietal versus frontal alpha power among American participants compared to the two Asian groups. Importantly\, the magnitude of alpha power was highly correlated with self-construal across cultures\, such that more independent and less interdependent people showed greater alpha at rest. This effect in part explained the cultural difference in alpha power. Our findings provide evidence that alpha oscillations may in part underlie cultural variation in self-construal and highlight the promise of alpha oscillations to understand self-referential processing and variation across groups.\n\nClinton McKenna\nSmartening up or dumbing down?

The program’s evolution—and the insights from those participating in it—can teach us much about what usable knowledge looks like on the ground and the ways to make it through collaboration. In this webinar\, James Arnott will recap his research based on examining 120 past NERRS funded projects and interviewing 40 of their participants. The practical lessons derived from this work suggest that teams of researchers and users working together in collaboration might consider a series of seemingly simple—but often difficult to answer questions—in the process of their work. Questions like: Who are the users? What is use? How do you report on use? What strategies lead to use? What are the benefits of usable knowledge? The history of NERRS research accomplishments demonstrates how many and varied answers to these questions emerge and the importance of taking into account careful consideration of that diversity in planning future projects and programs. \n\nAbout the Speaker: \nJames Arnott is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Michigan and Associate Director of the Aspen Global Change Institute. James has worked closely with the NERR System during the completion of his doctoral thesis on topics related to science funding\, the use of science\, and climate change adaptation. In 2011\, James was awarded the McCloy Fellowship in Environmental Policy and in 2009 James received a B.A. in Political Science and Economics from Principia College.

Dr. Leupold will examine the relationship between biographical subjects\, the politics of memory and communal boundaries in the region around Lake Van - a geography where collective violence stretches back in time to the Armenian Genocide of 1915 and into the contemporaneous Kurdish conflict. The lecture will begin by reconstructing the history of competing national movements and collective violence in the late-Ottoman period\, and then deconstruct official Armenian\, Turkish and Kurdish accounts to juxtapose ‘official histories’ with their local counter-narratives. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

While the travails of the Korean ‘comfort women’ are an extreme example of women’s integrity being compromised\, the assault sadly continues on various levels and by different degrees.”\n\nPresented with support from the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA) and the Institute for the Humanities.

In the early years of the American Studio Glass Movement (1974-1984) Babcock’s sculptural and painterly expression utilized the vessel format. By layering color — both mass and line — between gathers of clear\, molten glass\, the full compositions are viewed through the vessel as three-dimensional. Babcock is Professor Emeritus\, College for Creative Studies. He was Section Chair of the Glass Department where he taught for 40 years. He lives in Ann Arbor and built a new studio near U-M north campus in 2016.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

For the first time\, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing)\, Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing)\, and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants\, caregivers\, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity\, critique power\, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher\, caretaker\, woodshop cleaner-upper\, lumber hauler\, community organizer\, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other\, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people\, mundane routines\, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.\n\nArtwork by Marisa Morán Jahn: The Driver (detail)\, from MIRROR | MASK series\, featuring Darlyne Komukama. 2017\, Uganda UID:59587-14754459@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59587 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Art,Exhibition,immigration LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190102T121619 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190124T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190124T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Paul Rand: The Designer's Task DESCRIPTION:Paul Rand's visionary conceptions of brand identity \nPaul Rand was a giant of American design\, whose influential career spanned the second half of the twentieth century. His visionary and pithy conceptions of corporate and non-profit brand identities—though often graphically minimal—embody the artist’s complex philosophy\, interest in modernist aesthetics\, and singular wit. This exhibition features posters\, book covers\, and packaging designs from Rand’s beginnings as a pro bono designer for arts and culture publications like Direction magazine to his decades of crafting trailblazing corporate design for companies such as IBM. Paul Rand: The Designer’s Task affords viewers the opportunity to explore the genre of graphic design within the context of the art museum and examine how Rand’s intellectual process and impact on visual culture developed over time.\n\n UID:58560-14511090@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58560 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,Philosophy,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - The Jan and David Brandon Family Bridge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190102T121618 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190124T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190124T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Proof: The Ryoichi Excavations DESCRIPTION:A narrative of Ryoichi's archaeological work \nThe story of Japanese archaeologist Ryoichi and evidence of his worldwide excavations are explored by Patrick Nagatani in this series of photographs.

According to the photographs\, Ryoichi discovered evidence of an automobile culture buried at sites across several continents: Stonehenge\, the Grand Canyon\, and a necropolis in China. This provocative and playful series compels viewers to reflect on how photographs and institutions\, such as museums\, shape our knowledge of the past and present.\n\n UID:58559-14511044@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58559 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Special Exhibitions FFW 2nd Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181211T142856 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190124T114500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190124T124500 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Organizational Principles of 3D Genome Architecture DESCRIPTION:MCDB Faculty Candidate\nHost: Laura Buttitta UID:58367-14485824@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58367 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Research,seminar LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190123T131728 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190124T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190124T133000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Alpine Yodeling in Chinese DESCRIPTION:Yodeling is a distinctive mode of vocal performance\, one that flourished in the Alpine areas of Germany\, Austria and Switzerland\, and became a musical signature of the region. Since its adoption by American country music\, yodeling has become a world-wide phenomenon and can be heard in many kinds of global popular and fusion music. Yodeling techniques were not unknown in historical China\, but as a distinctive mode of vocal performance\, yodeling is a new phenomenon of fusion music in contemporary China. In this presentation\, Lu Tong will discuss his discovery of yodel\, his subsequent learning\, performance\, research\, and promotion of the practice. He will also perform to demonstrate his yodeling techniques and compositions.\n\nAbout the presenter:\n\nBorn in 1987\, LU Tong was formally trained as a pianist and vocalist at the Tianjin Conservatory of Music\, graduating in 2010. In 2006\, he discovered yodeling\, from since he has been actively studying and promoting it in China. He has become nationally recognized as the first Chinese yodeler\, who now professionally yodels\, composes yodeling works\, and gives lectures and recitals on the music practice.\n\n~ We serve light lunch!

These ideas\, though\, as well as the scholarly narratives that have accounted for haiku’s rise\, are very much a victor’s history\, one formulated by men such as the famous poet Masaoka Shiki (1867-1902). In this talk\, Robert Tuck provides a revisionist history of modern haiku\, highlighting both its widespread use as political discourse in Meiji media and the divisive rhetoric of social class that accompanied its rise to the status of “modern literature.” \n \nRobert Tuck is Assistant Professor of Modern Japanese Literature and Culture at Arizona State University. His research centers on 19th and 20th century literature\, especially poetry\, media\, and Sino-Japanese genres of writing. His most recent work is Idly Scribbling Rhymers: Poetry\, Print\, and Community in 19th Century Japan (Columbia University Press\, 2018). \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Unlike spiral galaxies where molecular gas lies in a disk moving in ordered motion about the center of the galaxy\, molecular clouds in cluster centrals likely form in the updrafts of rising radio bubbles. Less is known about molecular gas in normal giant ellipticals. However\, trends between the thermodynamic properties of the hot atmospheres in normal elliptcals and cluster centrals suggests much of the molecular gas in ellipticals condensed from their hot atmospheres.\n\nShould you require any reasonable accommodations to ensure equal access and opportunity related to this event\, please contact Stacy Tiburzi at 734-764-3440 or stibu@umich.edu.

Please join us! \n\nTitle: \"Why Saturn’s magnetic field pulses: certainties\, probabilities\, possibilities\"\n\nAbstract: Regular magnetic oscillations with slightly separate periods for northern and southern hemispheres permeate Saturn’s magnetosphere. Much is known of them but an established consensus on their precise origin or whether they play a fundamental role in magnetospheric dynamics has been hard to reach. Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) should apply and we will apply some simple ideas from MHD. However\, we start from signal characteristics established from the 13 years of Cassini observations. Symmetry arguments can help. Indeed\, when northern and southern periods matched for around a year in 2013-14\, we argue that the symmetry seen reveals a lot. Using these results with early MHD theory (from the 80s)\, in this special case one can show that the transverse field components have equatorial nodes and so that the equatorial (torus) plasma executes large (Rs) gyrations always in the same sense. A subtler deduction is that energy absorption or mode conversion near the equator is unavoidable. Estimating gyration amplitude suggests steady substantial angular momentum transfer is likely. Indeed\, re-examining data on both steady and oscillatory electrical currents with this in mind reveals that the oscillations are likely to be the major means of ionosphere-magnetosphere angular momentum transfer in the middle magnetosphere. Energy principle arguments add to the credibility of the latter idea. Finally\, we speculate on the gyrations role in radial transport. \n\nDavid Southwood is planetary scientist with primary interest in magnetism and magnetohydrodynamics. Currently a Senior Research Investigator at Imperial College\, London. He is a member of the NASA JPL Advisory Council and ESA Council\, Chair of the Steering Board of the UK Space Agency\, Chair of the Board of Trustees of the London Institute for Space Policy and Law and a past president of the Royal Astronomical Society. After an academic career as a space scientist at Imperial College\, he joined ESA as Head of Earth Observation Strategy\, drawing up for ESA what is the current architecture for European Earth Observation programmes (Earth Explorers and Copernicus). In 2001 he became Director of Science at ESA\, taking responsibility for all Astronomy and Space science missions\, developing Herschel\, Planck and GAIA astronomical observatories\, Mars Express and Venus Express and oversight of Huygens landing on Titan. He later took responsibility for developing Europe’s long term plans in Mars exploration. He returned to Imperial College in 2011.

Inadequate solutions to this problem have prevented the practical adoption of autonomous assembly in the field\, which would enable improvements in safety\, reduction in costs\, and more ambitious concepts such as large space telescopes. Accurate state estimation\, and a capacity to correct errors\, will be crucial to enabling practical field assembly\, especially for structures such as space telescopes that require sub-mm accuracy over tens of meters. Uncorrected assembly experiences polynomial error growth stemming from sources including tolerances and manufacturing errors. By modeling structure assembly as a Bayesian process\, estimation methods can be applied to the assembly graph to improve accuracy. In recent research\, Dr. Komendera has developed an approach that adapts Simultaneous Localization and Mapping methods and local error correction onto an evolving assembly workspace modeled as a dynamic Bayesian network. This approach enables accurate\, scalable\, parallelizable construction without assuming perfect sensors or requiring a global measurement system. This talk will describe the mathematical foundations of the assembly algorithm\, its expected performance on backbone trusses and space telescope models\, validation through hardware trials\, and future research directions.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nDr. Erik Komendera is Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Virginia Tech\, and director of the Autonomous Field and Space Robotics Laboratory. His research focuses on autonomous multi-agent construction on Earth\, on orbit\, and on the surfaces of other worlds\, with an emphasis on robust algorithms to detect\, classify\, and repair failures during and after the assembly process. His current projects include a collaboration with NASA to develop robots and algorithms for constructing lunar habitats and on-orbit persistent platforms. He also works with industry to improve methods for autonomous assembly of variable components. He is also a member of the in-Space Assembled Telescope (iSAT) study team that will recommend an approach to assembling a space telescope. From 2014-2018\, Dr. Komendera was a robotics researcher at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton\, VA. He earned his MS ('12) and PhD ('14) in Computer Science from the University of Colorado\, and a BSE in Aerospace Engineering ('07) from the University of Michigan. At NASA\, he served as assembly robot task lead on the project titled “Commercial Infrastructure for Robotic Assembly and Servicing” (CIRAS). In addition\, he was the Principal Investigator for a Langley IRAD project to investigate methods for assembling solar arrays.

Locking up Our Own: Crime and Punishment in Black America DESCRIPTION:In his lecture\, James Forman\, Jr. will discuss some of the questions raised by his Pulitzer-prize winning book\, Locking Up Our Own: Crime and Punishment in Black America. How did African-American elected officials and citizens respond to the surge in crime and drug addiction beginning in the 1970s? What were the impact of those decisions? Can we make different choices today? \n\nA reception and book signing will follow the public lecture.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored with support from: Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, Department of History\, Department of Sociology\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Institute for the Humanities\, International Institute Conflict and Peace Initiative\, and the Office of Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion.\n\nA former public defender and a child of civil rights activists\, Professor Forman will share riveting stories of his clients\, politicians\, judges\, and ordinary citizens. He will speak with compassion about individuals trapped in terrible dilemmas. His lecture will enrich our understanding of why America has become so punitive and will offer important lessons about the future of race and the criminal justice system in this country.\n\nJames Forman\, Jr. graduated from Roosevelt High School in Atlanta\, Brown University\, and Yale Law School. He worked as a law clerk for Justice Sandra Day O’Connor of the U.S. Supreme Court. After clerking\, he joined the Public Defender Service in Washington\, D.C.\, where for six years he represented juveniles and adults in felony and misdemeanor cases. He has also won the general non-fiction Pulitzer Prize for his book \"Locking Up Our Own: Crime and Punishment in Black America.\" \n \nProfessor Forman loved being a public defender\, but he quickly became frustrated with the lack of education and job training opportunities for his clients. So in 1997\, along with David Domenici\, he started the Maya Angelou Public Charter School\, an alternative school for dropouts and youth who had previously been arrested. A decade later\, in 2007\, Maya Angelou School expanded and agreed to run the school inside D.C.’s juvenile prison. That school\, which had long been an abysmal failure\, has been transformed under the leadership of the Maya Angelou staff\; the court monitor overseeing D.C.’s juvenile system called the turnaround “extraordinary.” \n \nAt Yale Law School\, where has taught since 2011\, Forman teaches Constitutional Law and a course called Race\, Class\, and Punishment. Last year he took his teaching behind prison walls\, offering a seminar called Inside-Out Prison Exchange: Issues in Criminal Justice\, which brought together\, in the same classroom\, 10 Yale Law students and 10 men incarcerated in a CT prison. \n \nProfessor Forman has written many law review articles\, in addition to op-eds and essays for the New York Times\, the Atlantic\, the New Republic\, the Nation\, and the Washington Post. His first book is the critically acclaimed\, Pulitzer Prize-winning \"Locking Up Our Own: Crime and Punishment in Black America\" (2017) which explores how decisions made by black leaders\, often with the best of intentions\, contributed to disproportionately incarcerating black and brown people. A Washington Post bestseller\, \"Locking Up Our Own\" was longlisted for the National Book Award and has been named a Best Book of the Year by numerous publications\, including the New York Times\, The Marshall Project\, Publisher’s Weekly\, and GQ Magazine. Reviewers have called the book “superb and shattering” (New York Times)\, “eloquent” and “sobering” (London Review of Books)\, and “moving\, nuanced\, and candid” (New York Review of Books). On Twitter\, the New York Times book reviewer Jennifer Senior called \"Locking Up Our Own\" “the best book I’ve read this year.” \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to umichhumanrights@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Because the mountains of South America are hotspots of plant diversity\, they provide an ideal opportunity to study the role that geographic and ecological factors play in the origin and evolution of plant species. In this seminar\, I will present an \"integrative systematics\" analysis of Escallonia\, an eco-phenotypically diverse group of shrubs widely distributed in montane South America. Integrating phylogenetic\, biogeographic\, and bioclimatic analyses with a multidimensional approach to species delimitation\, I show that the majority of species in Escallonia have diversified across environmental gradients in close geographic proximity. This is consistent with the hypothesis that parapatric speciation has been the main diversification mechanism in these plants\, and suggests that ecological factors may be key forces in generating and maintaining plant species diversity in the mountains of South America.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/Wo4kxiE51W4 UID:49659-11487544@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49659 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Ecology,Research,Science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181023T085859 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190124T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190124T173000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Hopwood Tea DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Hopwood Room for tea and conversation.

The ultimate goal of most single- molecule techniques is to reveal population-level or time-dependent heterogeneity in a system of interest by directly monitoring individual particles in a near-native environment. However\, confining a single molecule within an observation volume for long enough to detect a small\, noisy signal – without substantially perturbing that signal – is challenging\, especially in situations where tethering particles in place may restrict throughput or directly change the sample’s behavior. Since nearly all molecules possess some native charge\, electrophoretic forces that are generated by application of electric fields are an attractive option for manipulating particles without physical attachment. Similarly\, the electric field- induced motion of ions in the double layer near the walls of a micro- or nanofluidic channel can induce electroosmotic flow\, which imparts hydrodynamic forces that can be used to manipulate particles.\n\n\nHere\, I will present an overview of my recent work related to two unique single-molecule techniques that employ electric fields to enable control and precision measurements of single molecules and nanoscale particles in free solution. These strategies enable concurrent multi-parametric readout of the states of those objects\, which then can be used to classify their nature and behaviors. First\, I will discuss the use of static electric fields to draw charged biopolymers to and through small solid-state nanopores\, which can be used to resistively sense variations in chemical or geometric structure along the length of the analyte molecule. Second\, I will present results obtained via an Anti-Brownian Electrokinetic (ABEL) trap\, a technique in which Brownian motion is directly counteracted by active electrophoretic or electroosmotic feedback to maintain the position of a single molecule within a small confocal region. Because single molecules can be trapped for many seconds each\, high-precision fluorescence measurements can report on either static or dynamic heterogeneity in their structure and interactions. \n\n\nBecause these techniques utilize electrophoretic and electroosmotic forces\, the native charge of the analyte or surrounding medium are sufficient to achieve tether-free nanoscale confinement of single molecules and nanoparticles\, providing highly versatile sensing platforms to address both applied and basic biomedical\, biophysical\, and biochemical challenges.\n\nAllison Squires\, Ph.D.\, is a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University.

DESCRIPTION:Whether you are writing a research article\, proposal\, conference abstract or dissertation\, it is important to pay attention to style. Academic style is not so much a matter of following rules\, but more a matter of making choices. Even if you are aware of the stylistic conventions of your field and of academic writing in general\, you may also seek ways to more strongly position yourself and create your scholarly identity. In this workshop we will discuss some common features of academic style and how to make effective choices. Bring a text you are currently working on for analysis.
