Mellon Foundation-funded \"High Stakes Art\" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that\, as she explains\, \"forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual.\"\n\nThanks to the grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, we supported Sharp's work on Results and Roses during the summer of 2020\, but due to COVID-19 were forced to postpone the pop-up exhibition also scheduled for summer 2020. This fall we installed Results and Roses as a pop-up exhibition in the Osterman Common Room. Due to building security\, it's not open to the general public\, but we are thrilled to present the work online as a virtual exhibition. \n\nAbout the Artist\nSarah Rose Sharp is a Detroit-based writer\, activist\, photographer\, and multimedia artist.

For those who purchased before 12/15\, you will have access to view the film until 12/31/20.\n\nSynopsis:\nAn intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life\, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy\, Alabama\, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward\, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed\, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17\, 2020.\n\n96 Minutes.

This year\, it seems to be an even bigger challenge\, but it is still an important skill to continuously improve. Political or personal values conversations are an important part of civil discourse\, especially if each party is willing to listen and connect with mutual respect and a goal to seek common ground.

Wright Museum of African American History and the U-M Museum of Art\, with funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange\, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world. \n\nMahama's artistic practice illustrates\, as he explains\, how art education\, art and cultural opportunities \"allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge\, not only of themselves\, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves.\"\n\nEnveloping the contours of a museum building or wall\, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover\, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers\, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.\n\nThe project marks the first outdoor exhibition of Mahama's work in the United States. It is responsive to the present moment\, offering students and the broader community the opportunity to engage with the arts in a public space at a time when gatherings inside buildings and museums are limited.\n\nCurator's Statement:\n\nGhanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama’s installations are cumulative moments of reckoning\, mending\, and recycling. Things fall apart\, come undone. His constructions defy any notions of permanence and longevity. They are monuments to the in-between and the upending\, begging the question\, “What can we do?”\n\nMahama incorporates jute sacks—synonymous with the trade markets of Ghana where he lives and works—as a raw material. He works collaboratively with his community to complete the extensive sewing of the sacks required in preparation for his projects. For the U-M installations\, he incorporates materials from his previous seminal works over the last decade as a retrospective.\n\nThe markings\, stitching\, and signs of wear on the jute remind us of the many changing hands and endless labor behind international trade—the human toll of capitalism\, commodification\, and globalization. The fabric itself acts as metaphor for Ghana’s complicated history defined by Dutch colonialism and the Gold Coast slave trade\, British rule till 1957\, and a future de-railed by military coups post-independence.\n\nRather than grand gestures\, Mahama’s installations are humble acts of endurance. They are covert art take-overs\, subverting architecture and disrupting the pristine fascia of our institutional buildings. They hold us accountable for past trespasses. \n\nMahama is committed to offering his own country the same cultural opportunities and experiences available to those in the West. Most recently he designed and opened the Savannah Centre for Contemporary Arts in his hometown of Tamale Ghana\, contributing towards the expansion of his country’s contemporary art scene. An extension of his art practice\, the centre brings Mahama’s many visionary sketches to life\, creating classrooms in old airplanes\, a swimming pool for children’s play\, and public spaces for gatherings and the exchange of ideas.\n\nIn this pivotal year defined by Covid-19\, worldwide protests in support of Black Lives Matter\, climate change\, and our U.S. Presidential election in the balance\, Ibrahim Mahama’s work acknowledges failures and false promises\, but also the opportunities that can reveal themselves in times of crisis. \n\nPerhaps generations emerging from crisis can learn from the ghosts of the past and generate entirely new systems\, not motivated by profit or self-interest\, but by a deep commitment to the hard work ahead\, our willingness to do it\, and to the mutual space for dreams.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\, Institute for the Humanities and curator of In Between the World and Dreams \n\nIn-Between the World and Dreams is a multi-venue project led by the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery\, in partnership with UMMA and the Charles H.

Increasingly\, researchers and higher education institutions are paying attention to college student mental health\, but less of this focus has considered the specific contextual experiences\, challenges\, and supports relevant to Black students’ mental health as they enter and navigate predominantly White institutions (PWI). College student research shows that\, along with the social and academic challenges of college experienced by most/all students\, Black students routinely report negative race-related experiences in their PWI settings - microaggressions and discrimination\; biased stereotype-based treatment\, low expectations\; and both isolation/exclusion and hypervisibility (over-monitoring as suspicious or dangerous) due to race. Black students’ racially marginalizing experiences are sometimes tied to students’ multiple identities (e.g.\, their race along with their ethnicity\, gender\, socioeconomic status\, or sexual orientations\, among other identities). Such devaluing experiences have been linked to poorer academic achievement and persistence outcomes\, but these experiences likely function to undermine mental health as well.\n\n\nNow more than ever\, a focus on Black college student mental health is critical. In 2020\, Black students are entering their college campuses (in-person or remotely) after a summer of widespread protests against anti-Black police violence and systemic racism\, sparked by public witnessing of videos depicting murders and brutalizing of Black Americans by police. Many Black students are also coming from communities disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic\, and with the knowledge that these differential impacts are directly and indirectly due to systemic racism. Thus\, while Black students bring many personal and cultural strengths to their campuses that can be leveraged to support their positive college adjustment\, they also experience unique challenges and vulnerabilities due to racism - both on their campuses and in the broader society - that can undermine their well-being and thriving on campus. Higher education must be accountable in understanding Black student experiences and\, importantly\, acting on this knowledge to meet the goals of supporting and serving all students equitably. \n\n\nThis webinar will feature the research of three scholars actively engaged in research on the positive mental health of Black college students. All are grant recipients of the 2020 National Center for Institutional Diversity (NCID) Pop-Up Grant program cycle\, themed around Mental Health among Marginalized Communities\, and co-sponsored in partnership with The Steve Fund. Each scholar will share research findings yielded from their grant projects and outline specific implications and recommendations for research and action.\n\nModerator/Facilitator:\n\n· Tabbye Chavous\, *NCID Director and Professor of Psychology and Education\, University of Michigan*\n\n\nPanelists:\n\n· Seanna Leath\, *Assistant Professor\, Department of Psychology\, University of Virginia*\n\n· Martinique Jones\, *Assistant Professor\, Department of Psychology and Counseling\, University of North Texas*\n\n· Carmen McCallum\, *Department of Leadership and Counseling\, Eastern Michigan University* UID:78024-19955553@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78024 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Diversity,Diversity Equity And Inclusion,Equity,Faculty,Inclusion,Mental Health,Staff LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201102T123958 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201105T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201105T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CEW+ Lunch and Learn | A Roadmap to Virtual Home Learning Success: Tips for Student Parents DESCRIPTION:Click to RSVP and to receive the Zoom link by email: cew.umich.edu/events/cew-lunch-and-learn-a-roadmap-to-virtual-home-learning-success-tips-for-student-parents\n\nThe pandemic has brought many challenges for parents who have children in virtual school-at-home situations while the parents are also still working – either in the office\, from home\, and/or in school.

Music provides a place for the early theorization of sound as an active force operating in registers that are at once spiritual (accounting for the summoning of unseen gods and spirits)\, scientific (producing hypotheses regarding the principles underlying action at a distance)\, aesthetic (conceptualizing how and why people may be more or less affectively moved)\, and deeply embodied (positing figurations of the human form as a resonance chamber). In this talk\, I focus on the chanting of Buddhist sacred text in medieval Japan\, in order to excavate Buddhist theories of sound – and particularly human-produced sound – as capable of acting on and in the space-time of lived reality.\n \nCharlotte Eubanks is Associate Professor of Comparative Literature and Asian Studies at Penn State. They study the material culture of books and word/image relations\, with a focus on Japanese literature from the medieval period to the present. Their first book\, entitled *Miracles of Book and Body: Buddhist Textual Culture and Medieval Japan* (University of California Press\, 2011)\, examines the relationship between human body and sacred text in the Buddhist literary tradition\, focusing on reading as a performance-based act which bridges the text-flesh barrier. Their second book (*The Art of Persistence: Akamatsu Toshiko and the Visual Cultures of Transwar Japan*\, U Hawai'i Press\, 2020) moves to the 20th century. Through a microhistory of the artist Akamatsu Toshiko (Maruki Toshi\, 1912-2000)\, the book outlines the possibilities for anti-war and anti-colonial thought in imperial Japan. Their third book will return to the medieval Buddhist world\, with a phenomenological examination of the literary corpus of the 13th century Zen master Dōgen. Their articles have appeared in venues including *Book History\, The Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies\, Ars Orientalis\, The Japanese Journal of Religious Studies\, PMLA*\, and *Word & Image*. Charlotte is Head of the Department of Comparative Literature\, founding president of the MLA Japan to 1900 forum\, and Associate Editor of *Verge: Studies in Global Asias*.\n\nPlease register for the Zoom webinar at: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_lnQ7ENyPQ_uOK9bZmgknOg\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.

The underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Emergent cell-cell interactions in the tumor microenvironment (TME) profoundly influence therapy outcomes. The nature of these interactions and their role in Ras tumor radioresistance remain unclear. Using Drosophila and human Ras cancer cells we discovered that oncogenic Ras co-opts genotoxic stress-induced p53 function to drive tumor recurrence via paracrine JAK/STAT signaling in the TME.\np53 is heterogeneously activated in Ras tumor tissues in response to irradiation. This mosaicism allows high p53-expressing Ras clones to stimulate JAK/STAT cytokines\, which activate JAK/STAT in the nearby low p53-expressing resistant Ras clones\, leading to robust tumor re-establishment. Blocking any part of this cell-cell communication loop re-sensitizes Ras tumor cells to irradiation. This finding suggests that coupling STAT inhibitors to radiotherapy might improve clinical outcomes for Ras cancer patients.\n\nSpeaker:\nYves Chiswili Chabu\, Ph.D.\nAssistant Professor\, Division of Biological Sciences\nUniversity of Missouri-Columbia\n\nYves Chiswili Chabu received his Ph.D. at the University of Oregon. He did his postdoctoral work and Fellowship at Yale University where he used Drosophila and human tissue culture models to understand how intercellular RAS signaling evolves in the tumor microenvironement. Chabu is an assistant professor at the University of Missouri-Columbia and the scientific director of the Cancer Research Center in Columbia Missouri. His research interests at the University of Missouri includes delineating therapy resistance mechanisms in EGFR/RAS-driven tumors and understanding how these signals emerge and support disease progression.

Their cumulative cost can be extreme in terms of both dollars and lives lost. While less frequent\, pandemics have also resulted in staggering losses. The loss depends not only on the severity of the effects\, but also on the vulnerability and resiliency of the affected society. The number and cost of disasters have been increasing over the last few decades\, a pattern which is likely to continue. This increase may be due both to hazards increasing in frequency\, size\, or extent\, and to an increasing vulnerability and/or decreasing resiliency of populations at risk. \n\nThis course will start with an examination of the trends and patterns of past disasters\, discussing socioeconomic factors that increase vulnerability. We will then discuss the role of corruption and government effectiveness in exacerbating vulnerability\, the differences between vulnerability and resiliency on a local scale\, and why resiliency is so difficult to quantify. Finally\, we will discuss the role of global demographics trends and changing climate with regard to future hazards and our increasing vulnerability to them. We will use the Sichuan\, China (2008)\, L’Aquila\, Italy (2009)\, and Haiti (2010) earthquakes\, hurricanes Katrina (2005)\, Sandy (2012)\, Harvey (2017)\, and Maria (2017)\, and the current COVID-19 pandemic as case studies. \n\nEric Hetland is an associate professor in the UM Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences\, specializing in earthquakes and volcanoes. Eric also develops statistical tools to tackle problems ranging from climate change to vulnerability.\n\nThis study group will be held on Thursdays from November 5 through 19. \n\nPre-registration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

However\, this is hard in practice\, due to a lack of appropriate (micro-level) economic data and limited opportunity to experiment. In Zheng et al.\, 2020\, we proposea two-level deep reinforcement learning approach to learn dynamic tax policies\, based on principled economic simulations in which both agents and a social planner (government) learn and adapt. AI social planners can discover tax policies that improve the equality and productivity trade-off by at least 16%\, compared to the prominent Saez tax model\, US Federal tax\,and the free market. The learned tax policies are qualitatively differentfrom the baselines\, and certain model instances are effective in human studies as well.\n\nThis talk will present three topics: 1) economic policydesign in the context of multi-agent RL\, 2) our two-level RL approach toeconomic policy design\, and 3) open research problems towards an AI Economist for the real world. These include key methodological challenges in two-level RL and data-driven economic modeling\, multi-agent RL\, mechanismdesign\, convergence guarantees\, robustness\, explainability\, and others.\n\nRSVP Here: https://tinyurl.com/y33tmfs4 UID:79027-20172578@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/79027 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201120T123024 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201105T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201105T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:AmeriCorps-Teach Kentucky Recruiting Experience- Special EducationContent Areas DESCRIPTION:Application Process Tips:\n\n1.

U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nTitle:\nSparse Estimation: Closing the Gap Between L0 and L1 Models\n\nAbstract:\nSparse statistical estimators are increasingly prevalent due to their ease of interpretability and superior out-of-sample performance. However\, sparse estimation problems with an L0 constraint\, restricting the support of the estimators\, are challenging (typically NP-hard\, but not always) non-convex optimization problems. Consequently\, academics and practitioners commonly turn to convex L1 proxies\, such as Lasso and its variants\, as a remedy. Although the L1 models are solved fast\, they may lead to biased and/or dense estimators and require substantial cross-validation for calibration.\n\nIn this talk\, we focus on two estimation problems: i) sparse regression and ii) sparse and smooth signal recovery. The first one is known to be NP-hard\; we show that the second one is equivalent to a submodular minimization problem and\, hence\, is polynomially solvable. For both problems\, we derive a sequence of strong convex relaxations. These relaxations are based on the ideal (convex-hull) formulations for rank-one/pairwise quadratic terms with indicator variables. The new relaxations can be formulated as conic quadratic or semidefinite optimization problems in an extended space\; they are stronger and more general than the state-of-the-art models with the reverse Huber penalty and the minimax concave penalty functions. Furthermore\, the proposed rank-one strengthening can be interpreted as a non-separable\, non-convex\, unbiased sparsity-inducing regularizer\, which dynamically adjusts its penalty according to the shape of the estimation error function without inducing bias for the sparse solutions. Computational experiments with benchmark datasets show that the proposed conic formulations are solved fast and result in near-optimal estimators for non-convex L0-problems. Moreover\, the resulting estimators also outperform L1 approaches from a statistical perspective\, achieving high prediction accuracy and good interpretability.\n\nThis talk is based on the following papers with Andres Gomez & Shaoning Han:\n\nhttps://atamturk.ieor.berkeley.edu/pubs/rank-one.pdf\nhttps://atamturk.ieor.berkeley.edu/pubs/screening.pdf\nhttps://atamturk.ieor.berkeley.edu/pubs/signal-estimation.pdf UID:76453-19717149@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/76453 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:899 Seminar Series,Industrial And Operations Engineering LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200902T151604 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201105T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201105T160000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:The Scholar as Translator DESCRIPTION:Join Chana Kronfeld\, renowned translator of Hebrew and Yiddish poetry\, for a discussion of her scholarship and translations.

In large solar flares\, a wide range of electromagnetic waves ranging from the kilometric radio wave to the Gamma-rays are released in a short period of time and a gigantic amount of ionized gas is ejected in the coronal mass ejections. In those processes\, solar energetic particles can be accelerated to near-relativistic energies and injected into the interplanetary space. When traveling in the interplanetary space\, they impose a serious radiation hazard to human lives on the earth\, the orbiting astronauts\, spacecraft\, and our future space exploration missions. However\, the underlying acceleration mechanisms in those events and the particles’ transport process from the sun to the interplanetary space is still under debate. I investigate the behaviors of those energetic particles with observational analysis\, and model their behavior using numerical simulations. In particular\, I modeled the acceleration and transport process of energetic particles by solving the Fokker-Planck equation numerically and evaluate the temporal and spatial distribution profiles\, energy spectra\, and element abundances of energetic particles with the measurement made by various spacecraft. Because of their great impact to the space radiation environment and the growing demand for space travel and exploration\, a successful forecast of the occurrence and flux of solar energetic particles is urgent. Both numerical models and machine learning techniques are utilized in my current approach to predict the occurrence and flux of solar energetic particles.

One specific application of interest is their use in combat helmet liners to protect service members from Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)\, although they are also heavily leveraged in the packing industry\, medical\, aerospace and automotive fields\, to name a few. These protective applications all have the common characteristic of dynamically applied loading leading to high strain-rate material deformation. Typically\, polymer foams have low impedance and exhibit strong rate-dependent mechanical behavior\; consequently\, novel dynamic experimental techniques and metrologies need to be implemented and aid in the development of physics-based constitutive models for these cellular systems in loading regimes of real-world interest. As such\, this talk focuses on quantitative microstructural characterization of open cell polyurethane foams and its relation to bulk response\, their compressive behavior across six orders of magnitude in strain rates and utilizing a non-parametric formulation of the Virtual Fields Method to extract dynamic material behavior. How these efforts are leading us to explore the design space of microarchitected materials for next-generation protective systems will also be discussed. \n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nLeslie Lamberson is an Associate Professor in Mechanical Engineering with affiliation in Materials Science at the Colorado School of Mines.

To alleviate these challenges\, prior work has provided extensive supervision via a combination of reward-shaping\, ground-truth object-information\, and expert demonstrations. In this work\, we show that one can learn object-interaction tasks from scratch without supervision by learning an attentive object-model as an auxiliary task during task learning with an object-centric relational RL agent. Our key insight is that learning an object-model that incorporates object-relationships into forward prediction provides a dense learning signal for unsupervised representation learning of both objects and their relationships. This\, in turn\, enables faster policy learning for an object-centric relational RL agent. We demonstrate our agent by introducing a set of challenging object-interaction tasks in the AI2Thor environment where learning with our attentive object-model is key to strong performance. Specifically\, by comparing our agent and relational RL agents with alternative auxiliary tasks with a relational RL agent equipped with ground-truth object-information\, we find that learning with our object-model best closes the performance gap in terms of both learning speed and maximum success rate. Additionally\, we find that incorporating object-relationships into an object-model's forward predictions is key to learning representations that capture object-category and object-state.\n\nZoom link: https://umich.zoom.us/j/99927591266\nMeeting ID: 999 2759 1266\nPassword: cogsci\n\nWilka Carvalho is currently a PhD student studying machine learning at UM.

After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy\, Alabama\, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward\, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed\, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17\, 2020.\n\n96 Minutes.

Wright Museum of African American History and the U-M Museum of Art\, with funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange\, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world. \n\nMahama's artistic practice illustrates\, as he explains\, how art education\, art and cultural opportunities \"allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge\, not only of themselves\, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves.\"\n\nEnveloping the contours of a museum building or wall\, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover\, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers\, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.\n\nThe project marks the first outdoor exhibition of Mahama's work in the United States. It is responsive to the present moment\, offering students and the broader community the opportunity to engage with the arts in a public space at a time when gatherings inside buildings and museums are limited.\n\nCurator's Statement:\n\nGhanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama’s installations are cumulative moments of reckoning\, mending\, and recycling. Things fall apart\, come undone. His constructions defy any notions of permanence and longevity. They are monuments to the in-between and the upending\, begging the question\, “What can we do?”\n\nMahama incorporates jute sacks—synonymous with the trade markets of Ghana where he lives and works—as a raw material. He works collaboratively with his community to complete the extensive sewing of the sacks required in preparation for his projects. For the U-M installations\, he incorporates materials from his previous seminal works over the last decade as a retrospective.\n\nThe markings\, stitching\, and signs of wear on the jute remind us of the many changing hands and endless labor behind international trade—the human toll of capitalism\, commodification\, and globalization. The fabric itself acts as metaphor for Ghana’s complicated history defined by Dutch colonialism and the Gold Coast slave trade\, British rule till 1957\, and a future de-railed by military coups post-independence.\n\nRather than grand gestures\, Mahama’s installations are humble acts of endurance. They are covert art take-overs\, subverting architecture and disrupting the pristine fascia of our institutional buildings. They hold us accountable for past trespasses. \n\nMahama is committed to offering his own country the same cultural opportunities and experiences available to those in the West. Most recently he designed and opened the Savannah Centre for Contemporary Arts in his hometown of Tamale Ghana\, contributing towards the expansion of his country’s contemporary art scene. An extension of his art practice\, the centre brings Mahama’s many visionary sketches to life\, creating classrooms in old airplanes\, a swimming pool for children’s play\, and public spaces for gatherings and the exchange of ideas.\n\nIn this pivotal year defined by Covid-19\, worldwide protests in support of Black Lives Matter\, climate change\, and our U.S. Presidential election in the balance\, Ibrahim Mahama’s work acknowledges failures and false promises\, but also the opportunities that can reveal themselves in times of crisis. \n\nPerhaps generations emerging from crisis can learn from the ghosts of the past and generate entirely new systems\, not motivated by profit or self-interest\, but by a deep commitment to the hard work ahead\, our willingness to do it\, and to the mutual space for dreams.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\, Institute for the Humanities and curator of In Between the World and Dreams \n\nIn-Between the World and Dreams is a multi-venue project led by the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery\, in partnership with UMMA and the Charles H.

The link will be provided below.\n\nZoom: https://umich-health.zoom.us/j/94734899583?pwd=MDNEMjE3QU5xVGgwZzNQajE4UlJQUT09\n\nOveractive bladder (OAB) is a highly prevalent condition which negatively affects the physical and mental health of millions of people worldwide. Sacral neuromodulation (SNM)\, currently serving ~300\,000 patients worldwide\, is a promising third-line therapy that provides improved efficacy and minimum adherence issue compared to conventional treatments. While current SNM is delivered in an open-loop fashion\, the therapy could have improved clinical efficacy by adopting a closed-loop stimulation paradigm that uses objective physiological feedback. Therefore\, this dissertation work focuses on using sacral level dorsal root ganglia neural signals to provide sensory feedback for adaptive SNM a feline model.\n \nThis work began with exploring machine learning algorithms and feature selection methods for bladder pressure decoding. A Kalman filter delivered the highest performance based on correlation coefficient between the pressure measurements and algorithm estimation. Additionally\, firing rate normalization significantly contributed to lowering the normalized error\, and a correlation coefficient-based channel selection method provided the lowest error compared to other channel selection methods.\n \nFollowing algorithm optimization\, this work implemented the optimized algorithm and feature selection method in real-time in anesthetized healthy and simulated OAB feline models. A 0.88 ± 0.16 correlation coefficient fit was achieved by the decoding algorithm across 35 normal and simulated OAB bladder fills in five experiments. Closed-loop neuromodulation was demonstrated using the estimated pressure to trigger pudendal nerve stimulation\, which increased bladder capacity by 40% in two trials.\n \nFinally\, closed-loop SNM stimulation with DRG sensory feedback was performed in a series of anesthetized experiments. It increased bladder capacity by 13.8% over no stimulation (p < 0.001). While there was no statistical difference in bladder capacity between closed-loop and continuous stimulation (p = 0.80)\, closed-loop stimulation reduced stimulation time by 57.7%. Interestingly\, bladder single units had a reduced sensitivity during stimulation\, suggesting a potential mechanism of SNM.\n \nOverall\, this work demonstrated that sacral level DRG are a viable sensory feedback target for adaptive SNM. Validation in awake and chronic experiments is a crucial step prior to clinical translation of this method.

In this talk\, Dr. Sarter will use examples of recent mishaps as well as research in her laboratory to illustrate how technology-centered design contributes to problems with human-machine collaboration and how resulting accidents and inefficiencies can be avoided by employing a systems engineering approach that applies knowledge and techniques from cognitive ergonomics\, interface design and behavioral science throughout system design and development.\n\nBio:\nNadine Sarter is a Professor of Industrial and Operations Engineering\, Aerospace Engineering and Robotics at the University of Michigan where she also serves as Director of the Center for Ergonomics. Her primary research interests include (1) human-machine teaming\, (2) operator trust in autonomous systems\, (3) adaptive function allocation\, (4) attention management\, (5) multimodal interface design\, (6) and the design of decision aids for high-tempo operations.

Macroscopic organisms typically navigate in odor plumes that provide a noisy and uncertain signal about the location of an odor source. Work in many species has suggested that animals accomplish this task by combining temporal processing of dynamic odor information with an estimate of wind direction.\n\nOur lab has been using adult walking Drosophila to understand both the computational algorithms and the neural circuits that support navigation in a plume of attractive food odor. We developed a high-throughput paradigm to study behavioral responses to temporally-controlled odor and wind stimuli. Using this paradigm we found that flies respond to a food odor (apple cider vinegar) with two behaviors: during the odor they run upwind\, while after odor loss they perform a local search. A simple computational model based one these two responses is sufficient to replicate many aspects of fly behavior in a natural turbulent plume. \n\nIn on-going work\, we are seeking to identify the neural circuits and biophysical mechanisms that perform the computations delineated by our model. Using electrophysiology\, we have identified mechanosensory neurons that compute wind direction from movements of the two antennae\, and central mechanosensory neurons that encode wind direction are involved in generating a stable downwind orientation. Using optogenetic activation\, we have traced olfactory circuits capable of evoking upwind orientation and offset search from the periphery\, through the mushroom body and lateral horn\, to the central complex. Most recently\, connectomic analysis has suggested a plausible model for how wind and odor information might be integrated in the central complex to allow flies to flexibly alter their orientation to wind. Our work illustrates how the tools available in fruit fly can be applied to dissect the mechanisms underlying a complex goal-directed behavior.

When interactions between electrons are important\, however\, the collective and correlated behavior of electrons can be beautiful\, complicated\, counter-intuitive\, and sometimes even useful. I will outline how we can engineer and search for new correlated electronic states starting from ‘Scotch tape exfoliation’ of atomically thin materials (such as graphene) as a basis for new types of devices. Then\, I will discuss how my research group plans to use low-temperature electronic transport and spatially-resolved magnetic measurements to uniquely demonstrate the behavior of correlated electrons in 2D materials\, highlighting some of my previous work on the fractional quantum Hall effect and superconductivity as concrete examples.\n UID:78773-20123133@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78773 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200929T113905 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201106T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201106T140000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Phondi Discussion Group DESCRIPTION:Phondi is a discussion and research group for students and faculty at U-M and nearby universities who have interests in phonetics and phonology.

It was the first legislation for women’s voting rights. Not until the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 were voting rights of ALL women protected and enforced\, and intimidation tactics progressively eliminated.  The Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women’s Vote poster campaign\, organized by AIGA in partnership with the League of Women Voters\, commemorates this milestone. A core group of invited women of design submitted the first 65 non-partisan posters\, to launch the initiative with their vision and voices. Through the posters\, these women joined forces to collectively contribute to dialogue in design and society. This moment in history is an incredible opportunity to catalyze women in design\, voting rights\, citizenship\, community\, and diversity. The collection aspires to not only support present day voter participation\, but to also serve as a backdrop for discourse and examination of the history of voting rights and women’s fight for equality.  The poster initiative continues at aiga.org/vote\, where AIGA members can contribute posters to motivate the American public to register and turn out to vote in the 2020 general election\, as well as local elections to come. Posters are available for free download online.\n\nThe Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women’s Vote exhibition at Stamps Gallery includes a selection of the 65 posters chosen by a committee of Stamps faculty\, students\, and staff including Nicholas Dowgwillo\, Eloise Janssen\, Keesa V.

Intentionally minimal\, each image distills an interaction\, traumatic incident\, or power imbalance into an accessible visual narrative. Recognizable objects such as chairs\, roots\, ladders\, or spotlights set the stage for the story to unfold. Events are captured midstream\, suspended in time like a felt film still.\n\nThe exhibition is inspired\, in part\, by the courage\, testimony\, and experiences of women (like Christine Blasey Ford) who publicly report assault\, harassment\, or misconduct. The #MeToo movement gave voice to thousands of women to tell their personal stories\, but also exposed a hostile backlash meant to silence them. The title\, “Real and Imagined\,” is a deliberate contradiction\; if one is true\, the other must not be. In practice\, however\, both terms are used to reference a woman’s testimony and determine how it is publicly interpreted. Her account is accepted as truthful by many and simultaneously dismissed as imaginary by the court of public opinion: “her memory is wrong\,” “she imagined it.”\n\nThe works in “Real and Imagined: Fabric Works and Video Animations” make difficult conversations and relationships tangible by stripping them down to their essentials.\n\nWordless physical gestures highlight the psychological and emotional forces at play behind even the smallest of interactions.\n\nBiography\nHeidi Kumao has created award-winning experimental films\, video installations\, cinema machines\, electronic clothing\, and kinetic sculptures. She has exhibited her work in solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally including shows at Art Science Museum Singapore\, Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona\, Fundació Joan Miró (Barcelona)\, and Museu da Imagem e do Som (São Paulo). She has received fellowships from the Creative Capital Foundation\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and the New York Foundation for the Arts. She is a professor at the Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.\n\nFall 2020 Hours and Policies\nBeginning September 15\, 2020\, Stamps Gallery will be open to University of Michigan faculty\, staff\, and students on Tuesdays and Fridays from 2-7 pm.\nAll visitors must have a valid M-Card to enter Stamps Gallery.

The DM does not know the action's value and relies on data and unbiased statistical inference to estimate it. The data are Bernoulli experiments governed by the action's value. A designer\, who wishes the DM to take the action\, controls the size of the data\, i.e.\, the sample size\, available to the DM. We establish that in many environments the designer's optimal sample size is the largest one satisfying that either a single --- or a simple majority --- of favorable realizations would persuade the DM to take the action.

We study the possible signals from fermionic absorption by nuclear or electron targets\, which we divide into two classes of four Fermi operators: neutral and charged current. In the neutral current signal\, dark matter is absorbed by a target nucleus or electron and a neutrino is emitted. For nuclear targets\, this results in a characteristically different nuclear recoil energy spectrum from that of elastic scattering. For electron targets\, we calculate electron recoil spectra in xenon-based detectors for sub-MeV dark matter. The charged current channel is specific to nuclear targets and leads to induced beta decays in isotopes which are stable in vacuum as well as shifts of the kinematic endpoint of beta spectra in unstable isotopes. Last\, we present UV completions of the four Fermi operators which give rise to these signals and study the prospects of seeing an absorption signal in light of other constraints\, such as dark matter decays and mediator searches.

The social distancing conditions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic introduced a deep and long term disruption to typical face-to-face interaction for Michiganders\, which in turn enables researchers to test precisely how these widescale disruptions to face-to-face interactions impact sociolinguistic development for children and participation in lifespan change for adults. In this talk\, we introduce the MI-Diaries project\, which has been tracking audio diaries from participants since the beginning of the pandemic. We highlight some of the major theoretical goals of the project\, as well as discuss some of the methodological innovations necessary for conducting sociolinguistic fieldwork during a pandemic.

Key attributes of this reactor concept include: (i) high degree of passive safety\, (ii) atmospheric pressure operation\, (iii) high thermal efficiency due to high volumetric heat capacity and thermal conductivity of liquid salts\, (iv) lower spent fuel per unit of energy\, (v) high solubility of most fission products in liquid salts and (vi) absence of fuel assemblies. Materials selection for liquid fueled MSRs is based on ASME Sec III Div 5 and thus present unique challenges because of the high Cr content of current qualified alloys. Consequently\, and considering the short-term deployment of MSRs\, it is necessary to independently improve corrosion resistance of current code codified alloys by surface treatments. On the other hand\, if one considers long-term deployment of MSRs\, novel code certified alloys would need to be developed. Indeed\, although Hastelloy-N\, a low Cr\, high Mo alloy developed during the MSRE program\, has shown remarkable corrosion resistance in molten fluoride salts\, this alloy has limited creep-rupture strength\, irradiation damage resistance and has shown corrosion induced embrittlement. Consequently\, this study focuses on the down-selection of a series of cladded 316H stainless steels (SS) and novel alloys based on corrosion resistance in molten FLiNaK at 700°C for up to 1000 hours. Finally\, specific separate effects experiments are conducted to assess the influence of the experimental conditions on corrosion and mass transport.\n\nBio\nDr. Adrien Couet is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Engineering Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, where he manages the MAterials Degradation under COrrosion and Radiation (MADCOR) laboratory. Previously\, he worked as a nuclear materials research engineer at EDF (Electricité de France) in France\, focusing on high-temperature aqueous corrosion and modeling corrosion of nuclear materials. He got hired at EDF after graduating in 2014 with a PhD in Nuclear and Mechnical Engineering from Penn State University. Over the last five years\, Dr. Couet has worked on developing his research group around fundamental understanding of materials degradation and alloy design for extreme environments. MADCOR research programs evolves around fuel cladding corrosion in LWRs\, developing structural materials and cladding for molten salt reactors and designing novel radiation resistant compositionally complex alloys. Dr. Couet also co-manages the UW Ion Beam Laboratory and is a co-organizer of the Nuclear Innovation Bootcamp\, which aims at training future entrepreneurs in the nuclear field.

An Interview with Agnieszka Holland DESCRIPTION:As part of the 27th Ann Arbor Polish Film Festival (AAPFF)\, acclaimed Polish film director Agnieszka Holland returns to the University of Michigan to deliver her second Annual Copernicus Lecture\, an interview with Johannes von Moltke\, professor of Germanic languages and literatures and of film\, television and media\, and acting director of the Weiser Center for Europe & Eurasia\, U-M\; and Benjamin Paloff\, associate professor of Slavic languages and literatures and of comparative literature\, and acting director of the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies\, U-M.\n\nAgnieszka Holland is justly famous for the way in which her films tackle “the perversely captivating 20th century\,” as she put it\, in all of its complexity. She has devoted her talents as a filmmaker to thoughtful explorations of fascism and communism\, their aftermaths\, and their lasting effects on those who were caught up in the political\, moral\, and ethical decisions that these regimes demanded of everyone in their orbit. In this hour-long interview\, Agnieszka Holland discusses the role of history and politics in her filmmaking\, her interest in characters who face difficult moral dilemmas\, her work in Europe and Hollywood\, her most recent film *Charlatan* (2019)\, and her desire to help shape a “cinema of the middle” by making thoughtful\, artistic films with broad popular appeal.\n\nAgnieszka Holland was born in Warsaw and graduated from FAMU\, the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. Upon her return to Poland she joined the group of promising young Polish directors\, “the filmmakers of moral unrest\,” associated with Andrzej Wajda. Her early Polish films earned her a great deal of critical acclaim\, but Holland is best-known for her Academy Award-nominated films *Angry Harvest* (Best Foreign Language Film 1985)\, *Europa Europa* (Best Screenplay 1990)\, and *In Darkness* (Best Foreign Language Film 2011). Recent films include *Spoor (Pokot)*\, based on a novel by Nobel Prize winner Olga Tokarczuk\; *Mr. Jones*\; and *Charlatan*. As a screenwriter\, Holland collaborated with Krzysztof Kieślowski (*Three Colours*\, 1993)\, and wrote several scripts for her mentor\, Andrzej Wajda. She has worked extensively in television\, directing episodes of *The Wire* and *Treme*\, for which she received an Emmy nomination in 2009. Recently she directed and produced the pilots for *The First* (Hulu)\, and *1983* (Netflix).\n\nThe Annual Copernicus Lecture is presented as part of the 27th Ann Arbor Polish Film Festival. While the festival requires tickets\, the lecture will be broadcast at no charge. More information at https://www.annarborpolishfilmfestival.com/.

Berkhofer Jr. Lecture on Native American Studies: A Conversation with Tommy Orange DESCRIPTION:The Department of Native American Studies presents The 5th Annual Robert J. Berkhofer Jr. Lecture: A Conversation with Tommy Orange\, award-winning\, New York Times Best-selling novelist. \n\nThe Berkhofer Lecture is scheduled for Friday\, November 6th\, 2020\, at 7:00 pm on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/97486211859\n\nTommy Orange is the author of the bestselling New York Times novel There There\, a multigenerational\, relentlessly paced story about a side of America few of us have ever explored – the lives of urban Native Americans. There There was one of the New York Times’ 10 Best books of the year and won the Center for Fictions First Novel Prize and the Pen/Hemingway Award. There There was longlisted for the National Book Award and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Orange graduated from the MFA program at the Institute of American Indian Arts\, and was a 2014 MacDowell Fellow\, and a 2016 Writing by Writers Fellow. He is an enrolled member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma. He was born and raised in Oakland California.\n\nThe Berkhofer Lecture series (named for a former U-M professor and founder of the field of Native American studies) was established in 2014 by an alumni gift from the Dan and Carmen Brenner family of Seattle\, Washington. In close consultation with the Brenners\, Native American Studies decided to create a public lecture series featuring prominent\, marquee speakers who would draw audiences from different communities (faculty and students\, Ann Arbor and Detroit\, and Michigan tribal communities as well as writers and readers of all persuasions). Native American students at U-M have consistently expressed their desire to make Native Americans more visible both on campus and off\, and we believe that this lecture takes a meaningful step in that direction. Additionally\, because of the statewide publicity it generates\, we think it is already becoming another recruitment incentive for Native American students. It goes without saying that the speakers we are inviting provide tremendous value to the mission and work of Native American Studies at U-M.\n\nFor more information on this speaker please visit www.prhspeakers.com UID:72820-20058231@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72820 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,american culture,book discussion,book event,Books,booksigning,Department Of American Culture,Diversity,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Free,History,Keynote,lecture,multicultural,native american,Native American Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201030T113201 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201106T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201106T203000 SUMMARY:Meeting:The Post-Election Chatroom DESCRIPTION:The purpose of this event is to offer the residents of Mosher-Jordan a space for thoughtful conversations amongst peers in relation to the 2020 election.

Wright Museum of African American History and the U-M Museum of Art\, with funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange\, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world. \n\nMahama's artistic practice illustrates\, as he explains\, how art education\, art and cultural opportunities \"allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge\, not only of themselves\, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves.\"\n\nEnveloping the contours of a museum building or wall\, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover\, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers\, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.\n\nThe project marks the first outdoor exhibition of Mahama's work in the United States. It is responsive to the present moment\, offering students and the broader community the opportunity to engage with the arts in a public space at a time when gatherings inside buildings and museums are limited.\n\nCurator's Statement:\n\nGhanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama’s installations are cumulative moments of reckoning\, mending\, and recycling. Things fall apart\, come undone. His constructions defy any notions of permanence and longevity. They are monuments to the in-between and the upending\, begging the question\, “What can we do?”\n\nMahama incorporates jute sacks—synonymous with the trade markets of Ghana where he lives and works—as a raw material. He works collaboratively with his community to complete the extensive sewing of the sacks required in preparation for his projects. For the U-M installations\, he incorporates materials from his previous seminal works over the last decade as a retrospective.\n\nThe markings\, stitching\, and signs of wear on the jute remind us of the many changing hands and endless labor behind international trade—the human toll of capitalism\, commodification\, and globalization. The fabric itself acts as metaphor for Ghana’s complicated history defined by Dutch colonialism and the Gold Coast slave trade\, British rule till 1957\, and a future de-railed by military coups post-independence.\n\nRather than grand gestures\, Mahama’s installations are humble acts of endurance. They are covert art take-overs\, subverting architecture and disrupting the pristine fascia of our institutional buildings. They hold us accountable for past trespasses. \n\nMahama is committed to offering his own country the same cultural opportunities and experiences available to those in the West. Most recently he designed and opened the Savannah Centre for Contemporary Arts in his hometown of Tamale Ghana\, contributing towards the expansion of his country’s contemporary art scene. An extension of his art practice\, the centre brings Mahama’s many visionary sketches to life\, creating classrooms in old airplanes\, a swimming pool for children’s play\, and public spaces for gatherings and the exchange of ideas.\n\nIn this pivotal year defined by Covid-19\, worldwide protests in support of Black Lives Matter\, climate change\, and our U.S. Presidential election in the balance\, Ibrahim Mahama’s work acknowledges failures and false promises\, but also the opportunities that can reveal themselves in times of crisis. \n\nPerhaps generations emerging from crisis can learn from the ghosts of the past and generate entirely new systems\, not motivated by profit or self-interest\, but by a deep commitment to the hard work ahead\, our willingness to do it\, and to the mutual space for dreams.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\, Institute for the Humanities and curator of In Between the World and Dreams \n\nIn-Between the World and Dreams is a multi-venue project led by the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery\, in partnership with UMMA and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History\, Detroit. \n\nIn-Between the World and Dreams is made possible by a grant from The Andrew W.

Popular pictures praised male political leaders\, while cartoons mocked women who sought rights. In the mid-nineteenth century\, women’s rights activists like Sojourner Truth and Susan B. Anthony challenged these powerful norms by distributing engraved and photographic portraits that represented women as political leaders. Over time\, suffragists developed a national visual campaign to win voting rights. Their photographs captured their public protests and demonstrated their dedication to their cause for mass audiences. Allison Lange’s talk is based on her book\, \"Picturing Political Power: Images in the Women’s Suffrage Movement\,\" published in May 2020 by the University of Chicago Press. The book focuses on the ways that women’s rights activists and their opponents used images to define gender and power during the suffrage movement.\n\nPresented in partnership with the Michigan Photographic Historical Society.\n\nAllison K. Lange is an assistant professor of history at the Wentworth Institute of Technology. She received her PhD in history from Brandeis University. Various institutions have supported her work\, including the National Endowment for the Humanities\, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, Library of Congress\, and American Antiquarian Society. Her writing has appeared in Imprint\, The Atlantic\, and The Washington Post. Lange also engages in public history. She has worked with the National Women’s History Museum and curated exhibitions for the Boston Public Library’s Leventhal Map Center. In preparation for the 2020 centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment\, she is curator of exhibitions at the Massachusetts Historical Society and Harvard’s Schlesinger Library.

An Interview with Agnieszka Holland DESCRIPTION:As part of the 27th Ann Arbor Polish Film Festival (AAPFF)\, acclaimed Polish film director Agnieszka Holland returns to the University of Michigan to deliver her second Annual Copernicus Lecture\, an interview with Johannes von Moltke\, professor of Germanic languages and literatures and of film\, television and media\, and acting director of the Weiser Center for Europe & Eurasia\, U-M\; and Benjamin Paloff\, associate professor of Slavic languages and literatures and of comparative literature\, and acting director of the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies\, U-M.\n\nAgnieszka Holland is justly famous for the way in which her films tackle “the perversely captivating 20th century\,” as she put it\, in all of its complexity. She has devoted her talents as a filmmaker to thoughtful explorations of fascism and communism\, their aftermaths\, and their lasting effects on those who were caught up in the political\, moral\, and ethical decisions that these regimes demanded of everyone in their orbit. In this hour-long interview\, Agnieszka Holland discusses the role of history and politics in her filmmaking\, her interest in characters who face difficult moral dilemmas\, her work in Europe and Hollywood\, her most recent film *Charlatan* (2019)\, and her desire to help shape a “cinema of the middle” by making thoughtful\, artistic films with broad popular appeal.\n\nAgnieszka Holland was born in Warsaw and graduated from FAMU\, the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. Upon her return to Poland she joined the group of promising young Polish directors\, “the filmmakers of moral unrest\,” associated with Andrzej Wajda. Her early Polish films earned her a great deal of critical acclaim\, but Holland is best-known for her Academy Award-nominated films *Angry Harvest* (Best Foreign Language Film 1985)\, *Europa Europa* (Best Screenplay 1990)\, and *In Darkness* (Best Foreign Language Film 2011). Recent films include *Spoor (Pokot)*\, based on a novel by Nobel Prize winner Olga Tokarczuk\; *Mr. Jones*\; and *Charlatan*. As a screenwriter\, Holland collaborated with Krzysztof Kieślowski (*Three Colours*\, 1993)\, and wrote several scripts for her mentor\, Andrzej Wajda. She has worked extensively in television\, directing episodes of *The Wire* and *Treme*\, for which she received an Emmy nomination in 2009. Recently she directed and produced the pilots for *The First* (Hulu)\, and *1983* (Netflix).\n\nThe Annual Copernicus Lecture is presented as part of the 27th Ann Arbor Polish Film Festival. While the festival requires tickets\, the lecture will be broadcast at no charge. More information at https://www.annarborpolishfilmfestival.com/.

Wright Museum of African American History and the U-M Museum of Art\, with funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange\, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world. \n\nMahama's artistic practice illustrates\, as he explains\, how art education\, art and cultural opportunities \"allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge\, not only of themselves\, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves.\"\n\nEnveloping the contours of a museum building or wall\, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover\, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers\, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.\n\nThe project marks the first outdoor exhibition of Mahama's work in the United States. It is responsive to the present moment\, offering students and the broader community the opportunity to engage with the arts in a public space at a time when gatherings inside buildings and museums are limited.\n\nCurator's Statement:\n\nGhanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama’s installations are cumulative moments of reckoning\, mending\, and recycling. Things fall apart\, come undone. His constructions defy any notions of permanence and longevity. They are monuments to the in-between and the upending\, begging the question\, “What can we do?”\n\nMahama incorporates jute sacks—synonymous with the trade markets of Ghana where he lives and works—as a raw material. He works collaboratively with his community to complete the extensive sewing of the sacks required in preparation for his projects. For the U-M installations\, he incorporates materials from his previous seminal works over the last decade as a retrospective.\n\nThe markings\, stitching\, and signs of wear on the jute remind us of the many changing hands and endless labor behind international trade—the human toll of capitalism\, commodification\, and globalization. The fabric itself acts as metaphor for Ghana’s complicated history defined by Dutch colonialism and the Gold Coast slave trade\, British rule till 1957\, and a future de-railed by military coups post-independence.\n\nRather than grand gestures\, Mahama’s installations are humble acts of endurance. They are covert art take-overs\, subverting architecture and disrupting the pristine fascia of our institutional buildings. They hold us accountable for past trespasses. \n\nMahama is committed to offering his own country the same cultural opportunities and experiences available to those in the West. Most recently he designed and opened the Savannah Centre for Contemporary Arts in his hometown of Tamale Ghana\, contributing towards the expansion of his country’s contemporary art scene. An extension of his art practice\, the centre brings Mahama’s many visionary sketches to life\, creating classrooms in old airplanes\, a swimming pool for children’s play\, and public spaces for gatherings and the exchange of ideas.\n\nIn this pivotal year defined by Covid-19\, worldwide protests in support of Black Lives Matter\, climate change\, and our U.S. Presidential election in the balance\, Ibrahim Mahama’s work acknowledges failures and false promises\, but also the opportunities that can reveal themselves in times of crisis. \n\nPerhaps generations emerging from crisis can learn from the ghosts of the past and generate entirely new systems\, not motivated by profit or self-interest\, but by a deep commitment to the hard work ahead\, our willingness to do it\, and to the mutual space for dreams.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\, Institute for the Humanities and curator of In Between the World and Dreams \n\nIn-Between the World and Dreams is a multi-venue project led by the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery\, in partnership with UMMA and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History\, Detroit. \n\nIn-Between the World and Dreams is made possible by a grant from The Andrew W.

It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n \nRead the exhibition press release here.\n \nJOIN US FOR THE GRAND OPENING AT UMMA AFTER HOURS Tuesday\, April 2 7–10 p.m.\n \nGallery talks\, live music\, and more!

From that meeting onward\, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed\, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17\, 2020.\n\n96 Minutes.

We often feel helpless about our technology\, or we only scratch the surface--sticking to the functions we know. Or worse\, we give up. Instructor Jim Keen will host two fun and productive sessions to help you remove that fear and start enjoying your technology. In the first session\, “Keeping in Touch with Your Family and Friends Using Video Chat\,” we’ll explore the various apps available\, demonstrate how to use them\, and examine which are best suited for you. In the second session\, “Getting the Most Out of Your iPhone and iPad\,” we’ll examine how to use some of the more useful functions of smartphones and tablets: camera & photo features\, navigation\, news & info services\, and social media.\n\nJim earned his A.B. in Communication and M.A. in Educational Studies from the University of Michigan. He has been heavily involved in educational technology and studying the different ways in which people learn. He is the owner of Keen Focus Technology Tutoring.\n\nThe study group will be held on Monday's on November 9 and 16. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

Sherman has spent 30 years in global development advocating for women in war-torn and transitional countries such as Iraq\, Afghanistan\, Bosnia\, Congo\, Nigeria\, Rwanda\, South Sudan\, Kosovo\, and the former Soviet Union. She began writing Brick by Brick during the year she spent living in Rwanda with her three sons to oversee the construction of a first-of-its-kind women’s opportunity center. The strength of these women helped Karen find her own way--through conflict zones and confrontations with corrupt officials to a renewed commitment to her family.\n\n From the speaker's bio:\n\nKaren Sherman currently serves as President of the Akilah Institute\, Rwanda’s only women’s college\, leading its strategy\, growth\, and partnerships. Prior to joining Akilah\, Sherman was a senior executive at Women for Women International\, an organization that helps women survivors of war to rebuild their lives. Sherman also served as the Executive Vice President at Counterpart International\, an international nonprofit development organization that partners with local organizations to build inclusive\, sustainable communities in which their people thrive. Sherman has been featured on BBC\, CNBC Africa\, Al Jazeera English\, and Voice of America. \n\nFor more information visit https://fordschool.umich.edu/events/2020/brick-brick-building-hope-and-opportunity-women-survivors-everywhere UID:76237-19679534@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/76237 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Book Talk,gender studies,gerald r. ford school of public policy,human rights,policy talks @ the ford school LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201103T171214 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201109T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201109T130000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Developmental Brown Bag: DESCRIPTION:Jessica Montoro:\n\nTitle:\nLatinx Adolescents Facing Multiple Daily Stressors and the Protective Role of Familismo\n\nAbstract:\nFamilism\, or familismo\, is a highly endorsed Latinx cultural value that encompasses using family members as attitudinal and behavioral exemplars\, turning to family members as sources of support\, and prioritizing the family’s well-being over the individual’s (Stein et al.\, 2014). Although several studies have examined whether familismo protects youth from one type of stressor at a time (e.g. community violence exposure\, discrimination\, substance abuse)\, few scholars have compared the differential effects of both general and cultural stressors on Latinx youth’s psychological functioning (Ayón et al.\, 2010\; Stein et al.\, 2012). This study examined the potentially protective effects of familismo among Latinx adolescents facing a myriad of stressors\, both cultural and general. Survey data for this study were drawn from a sample of 224 low-income\, Latinx 9th graders (age M = 14.5) attending 3 high schools in the Northeastern United States. When both cultural and general stressors were accounted for\, greater material need was associated with increased depressive symptoms and a less positive future orientation. Moreover\, familismo endorsement protected adolescents from depressive symptoms linked to material hardship. Results suggest that cultural stressors may be less distressing to Latinx adolescents than more general stressors\, like financial hardship\, and familismo is an important cultural value that may help Latinx adolescents navigate various types of stressors. \n\nYeonjee Bae:\n\nTitle:\nDo firstborn children’s responses to mothers interacting with a baby doll predict jealousy of a newborn sibling?\n\nAbstract:\nThe birth of an infant sibling is a normative life experience for many young children. Parents are particularly interested in how their firstborn children will react to the birth of the infant sibling\, yet few resources exist to assist parents in managing their children’s jealousy across the transition to siblinghood. The current study used an infant doll simulator as a social rival during a mother-child-doll laboratory task to elicit children’s jealousy reactions which were then used to predict children’s jealousy of their 1-month-old newborn sibling. Thirty pregnant mothers and their firstborn children participated in a short-term longitudinal study using the infant doll simulator in the lab before the birth (Time 1) and home observations of mother-child-baby 1 month after the birth (Time 2). There were differences in children’s behaviors across the two times and children’s reactions to the baby doll did not appear to predict their reactions to their newborn sibling\, suggesting there is little predictive validity in the use of a baby simulator to understand children’s jealousy of an infant sibling.

They say that “Necessity is the mother of invention.” Overtime military research and innovations have been adopted into civilian medicine. For the last 8 months our national health system has been dealing with the challenges of COVID-19. Unlike a “normal” mass casualty event\, the COVID-19 pandemic poses unique challenges to the health system and to the execution of health care. As a military veteran I was able to use and apply many lessons learned and leadership concepts from my military background to my experience at Swedish Edmonds Hospital. \n\nThis presentation will cover topics such as: Planning\, Training\, Human Factors\, Concept of Mission Command\, Logistics and Personnel. \nAdditional topics will be discussed as time allows.

It was the first legislation for women’s voting rights. Not until the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 were voting rights of ALL women protected and enforced\, and intimidation tactics progressively eliminated.  The Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women’s Vote poster campaign\, organized by AIGA in partnership with the League of Women Voters\, commemorates this milestone. A core group of invited women of design submitted the first 65 non-partisan posters\, to launch the initiative with their vision and voices. Through the posters\, these women joined forces to collectively contribute to dialogue in design and society. This moment in history is an incredible opportunity to catalyze women in design\, voting rights\, citizenship\, community\, and diversity. The collection aspires to not only support present day voter participation\, but to also serve as a backdrop for discourse and examination of the history of voting rights and women’s fight for equality.  The poster initiative continues at aiga.org/vote\, where AIGA members can contribute posters to motivate the American public to register and turn out to vote in the 2020 general election\, as well as local elections to come. Posters are available for free download online.\n\nThe Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women’s Vote exhibition at Stamps Gallery includes a selection of the 65 posters chosen by a committee of Stamps faculty\, students\, and staff including Nicholas Dowgwillo\, Eloise Janssen\, Keesa V. Johnson\, Francis Nunoo-Quarcoo\, Endi Poskovic\, Destini Riley\, and Stamps Gallery.

Stamps School of Art & Design.\n\nStamps Gallery is an incubator and lab for contemporary artists and designers to explore ideas and projects that catalyze positive social change. As the pandemic grips our nation it has exposed the social\, political\, and economic disparities that have disproportionately impacted Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color. The world witnessed in horror and sadness the meaningless loss of African American lives with George Floyd\, Breonna Taylor\, Ahmaud Arbery\, among many others that we will never know. National and international outcries brought people together from multiple races\, genders\, and generations - on social media and in the streets - to publicly demand an end to police brutality\, structural racism\, and emphasizing that Black Lives Matter. What is the role of a university gallery in this time of crisis? How can we foster an inclusive platform for the stakeholders in our community to voice their ideas and foster a community based on equality\, belonging\, respect? We found inspiration in the thoughtful words of renowned civil rights leader and Congressman John Lewis (1940-2020) who wrote\, “My fellow Americans\, this is a special moment in our history. Just as people of all faiths and no faiths\, and all backgrounds\, creeds\, and colors banded together decades ago to fight for equality and justice in a peaceful\, orderly\, non-violent fashion\, we must do so again.” His powerful words are a reminder for all of us - present and future generations to stay hopeful\, proactive\, and resilient in our collective efforts to end racial discrimination and foster a true democracy. \n\nIn this spirit\, Stamps Gallery invited the undergraduate and graduate students at Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, to design posters and make videos to respond and contemplate what each of us can do to build a stronger community\, one that is based on the values of racial equality\, justice and belonging. How can we acknowledge our own biases\, learn from each other\, and listen to the voices of those that have been silenced?

Stamps School of Art & Design.\n\nStamps Gallery is an incubator and lab for contemporary artists and designers to explore ideas and projects that catalyze positive social change. As the pandemic grips our nation it has exposed the social\, political\, and economic disparities that have disproportionately impacted Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color. The world witnessed in horror and sadness the meaningless loss of African American lives with George Floyd\, Breonna Taylor\, Ahmaud Arbery\, among many others that we will never know. National and international outcries brought people together from multiple races\, genders\, and generations - on social media and in the streets - to publicly demand an end to police brutality\, structural racism\, and emphasizing that Black Lives Matter. What is the role of a university gallery in this time of crisis? How can we foster an inclusive platform for the stakeholders in our community to voice their ideas and foster a community based on equality\, belonging\, respect? We found inspiration in the thoughtful words of renowned civil rights leader and Congressman John Lewis (1940-2020) who wrote\, “My fellow Americans\, this is a special moment in our history. Just as people of all faiths and no faiths\, and all backgrounds\, creeds\, and colors banded together decades ago to fight for equality and justice in a peaceful\, orderly\, non-violent fashion\, we must do so again.” His powerful words are a reminder for all of us - present and future generations to stay hopeful\, proactive\, and resilient in our collective efforts to end racial discrimination and foster a true democracy. \n\nIn this spirit\, Stamps Gallery invited the undergraduate and graduate students at Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, to design posters and make videos to respond and contemplate what each of us can do to build a stronger community\, one that is based on the values of racial equality\, justice and belonging. How can we acknowledge our own biases\, learn from each other\, and listen to the voices of those that have been silenced? We are at a pivotal moment in our history as the pandemic radically transforms everyday life. Through this exhibition Stamps Gallery asks the UM community to come together as artists and audiences and envision models for inclusion that are grounded in equality\, belonging and empathy.\n\nRespond/ Resist/ Rethink: A Stamps Student Poster & Video Exhibition includes work by Emily Albright\, Adriana Alcala\, Nathan Byrne\, David Forsee\, Eloise Jansenn\, Rey Jeong\, Sohyun Lim\, Anika Love\, Maggie McConnell\, Willian Minzer\, Judah Premble\, Casey Rheault\, Natalia Rocafuerte\, Jenna Scheen\, Ellie Schmidt\, Abigail Seguin\, LaKyla Thomas\, Elijah Thompson\, Benjamin Winans\, and Molly Wu.\n\nArtwork was selected through an open call by a committee of Stamps faculty\, students\, and staff including Nicholas Dowgwillo\, Eloise Janssen\, Keesa V.

Investigations of cognitive fluctuations\, especially fluctuations in cognitive skills that show gender differences\, however\, are limited by a lack of suitable instruments that are specifically designed for intensive longitudinal assessment (e.g.\, that reflect daily variation instead of practice effects). Our goal was to design and validate two new\, freely available 75-occasion measures of gendered cognition – three-dimensional mental rotations and delayed paired verbal recall. We accomplished this by conducting a 75-day study with 121 participants who completed the novel cognitive measures every evening. Focusing on an age- and language-matched sample of 27 men and 27 women\, results suggested that the novel measures are valid\, and that they show parallel forms reliability across 75 days and the expected gender differences each day. Moreover\, significant intra-individual variation was observed in cognition across the 75 days\, indicating that gendered cognition fluctuates daily (in men and women). These findings encourage future work on the antecedents and consequences of cognitive fluctuations and on intra-individual variation in spatial and verbal skills with the new 75-occasion assessments.

This seminar will present two recent results based on data from such collisions that was recorded by the ATLAS experiment. First\, is the search for the Higgs boson decaying to two muons. This Standard Model process is the only available opportunity to study the Higgs coupling to a second generation fermion. Second\, is a search for new physics beyond the Standard Model that may produce non-resonant features in the dilepton mass spectra. Such an effect would be present if fermions are composed of smaller component particles. Both studies make use of new experimental and statistical techniques that improve their sensitivity and reliability.\n\n UID:79147-20217701@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/79147 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200921T132640 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201109T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201109T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STS Speaker: The Animal Condition DESCRIPTION:The Science\, Technology\, Medicine and Society (STeMS) Speaker Series features scholars doing research across the range of STS subject matter. This term:\n\nAre we humans cooperative or warlike\, rational or delusional\, fixed or flexible? These questions have philosophical bite and political stakes. Indeed\, they always have. But recent work in a range of disciplines asks us to go deeper. What if “we humans” are more fiction than fact? If we can’t assume the stability of the human across time and place\, what happens to debates about human nature? Humanistic approaches\, including actor-network theory\, posthuman criticism\, and multispecies ethnographies\, challenge the idea of an autonomous human nature\, while scientific studies of organ development\, neuroendocrinology\, and the microbiome are revealing how much nature there is inside of us. We explore these questions through a braided history of the human and environmental sciences.

After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy\, Alabama\, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward\, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed\, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17\, 2020.\n\n96 Minutes.

Rationales to oppose minorities change some people's private opinions\, leading them to take anti-minority actions even if they are not prejudiced against minorities. When these rationales become widespread\, prejudiced people can pool with unprejudiced people who are persuaded\, decreasing the stigma associated with anti-minority expression and enabling greater public opposition to minority groups. In a first experiment\, subjects learn that a previous respondent authorized a donation to an anti-immigrant organization and then make an inference about the respondent's underlying motivations. Subjects informed that their matched respondent learned about a study claiming that immigrants increase crime rates before authorizing the donation see the respondent as less intolerant and more easily persuadable. In a second experiment\, subjects learn about that same study and then choose whether to authorize a publicly observable donation to the anti-immigrant organization. Subjects who are informed that their exposure to the rationale will be publicly observable are substantially more likely to make the donation than subjects who believe that their exposure will remain anonymous. Our findings suggest that prominent public figures can lower the social cost of intolerant expression by popularizing rationales\, contributing to waves of anti-minority behavior.

To answer this question\, we develop a novel model for pairwise comparisons data that allows for a richer structure of both the latent attributes of the objects being compared and rater-specific perceptual differences than standard models. We use the model to analyze survey data that we collected in the summer of 2020. This survey asked respondents to compare the truthfulness of pairs of statements about COVID-19. These statements were taken from the fact-checked statements on https://www.politifact.com. We thus have an independent measure of the truthfulness of each statement. We find that the actual truthfulness of a statement explains very little of the variability in individuals’ perceptions of truthfulness. Instead\, we find that the partisanship of the speaker and the partisanship of the rater account for the majority of the variation in perceived truthfulness\, with statements made by co-partisans being viewed as more truthful.

For example\, we can extract insights from WiFi data about which locations are the busiest during which time of the day\, how much time was typically spent at each location\, and how do these mobility patterns change over time. The second aim is to understand how students share the same physical spaces on campus (e.g. attending a lecture\, meeting in the same room\, sharing the same dorm). Students are presumably in a close proximity when they are connected to the same WiFi access point. We model a student-to-student network from their co-location activities and use its network centrality measures as proxies of transmission risk (i.e. students in the center of a network would have a higher chance of getting exposed to COVID-19 than those in the periphery). We then correlate network centrality measures with academic information (e.g. class schedule\, course enrollment\, study major\, year of study\, gender\, ethnicity) to determine whether certain features of the academic record are related to transmission risk. For example\, we can identify which groups of students are more vulnerable to potential infections by associating with a high network centrality. Insights from this research project will inform the University of Michigan’s strategies for the recovery of educational activities post-pandemic with empirical evidence of students’ mobility pattern on campus as well as factors that associate with a high-risk of transmission.

There is a substantial need to develop\, validate\, productize\, and support novel mathematical techniques\, advanced statistical computing algorithms\, transdisciplinary tools\, and effective artificial intelligence apps.\n\nSpacekime analytics is a new technique for modeling high-dimensional longitudinal data\, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). This approach relies on extending the notions of time\, events\, particles\, and wave functions to complex-time (kime)\, complex-events (kevents)\, data and inference-functions\, respectively. This talk will illustrate how the kime-magnitude (longitudinal time order) and kime-direction (phase) affect the subsequent predictive analytics and the induced scientific inference. The mathematical foundation of spacekime calculus reveals various statistical implications including inferential uncertainty and a Bayesian formulation of spacekime analytics. Complexifying time allows the lifting of all commonly observed processes from the classical 4D Minkowski spacetime to a 5D spacetime manifold\, where a number of interesting mathematical problems arise.\n\nSpacekime analytics transforms time-varying data\, such as time-series observations\, into higher-dimensional manifolds representing complex-valued and kime-indexed surfaces (kime-surfaces). This process uncovers some of the intricate structure in high-dimensional data that may be intractable in the classical space-time representation of the data. In addition\, the spacekime representation facilitates the development of innovative data science analytical methods for model-based and model-free scientific inference\, derived computed phenotyping\, and statistical forecasting. Direct neuroscience science applications of spacekime analytics will be demonstrated using simulated data and clinical observations (e.g.\, UK Biobank).

DMD takes in time series data and computes eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a finite-dimensional linear model that approximates the infinite-dimensional Koopman operator which encodes the dynamics. DMD is used successfully in many fields: fluid mechanics\, robotics\, neuroscience\, and more. Two of the main challenges remaining in DMD research are noise sensitivity and issues related to Krylov space closure when modeling nonlinear systems. In our work\, we encountered great difficulty in reconstructing time series from multilegged robot data. These are oscillatory systems with slow transients\, which decay only slightly faster than a period.\nHere we present an investigation of possible sources of difficulty by studying a class of systems with linear latent dynamics which are observed via multinomial observables. We explore the influences of dataset metrics\, the spectrum of the latent dynamics\, the normality of the system matrix\, and the geometry of the dynamics. Our numerical models include system and measurement noise. Our results show that even for these very mildly nonlinear conditions\, DMD methods often fail to recover the spectrum and can have poor predictive ability. We show that for a system with a well-posed system matrix\, having a dataset with more initial conditions and shorter trajectories can significantly improve the prediction. With a slightly ill-conditioned system matrix\, a moderate trajectory length improves the spectrum recovery. Our work provides a self-contained framework on analyzing noise and nonlinearity\, and gives generalizable insights dataset properties for DMD analysis.\nWork was funded by ARO MURI W911NF-17-1-0306 and the Kahn Foundation.

Which One Do Salmon Use? DESCRIPTION:MEETING LINK: https://umich.zoom.us/j/96616169868\n\nJoint work with:\nJames Breck\, Edward Rutherford\, and Bobbi Low\n \nAbstract: Life history theory focuses on characteristics of organisms\, such as size and age at maturity or tradeoffs between egg number and egg size. It studies how such traits vary as evolutionary responses to natural selection that optimize fitness. One needs to know such characteristics to understand behavior and to design successful conservation strategies. A critical step in such studies is to have the right fitness function. Most theoretical ecologists concerned with life history traits work with one of the classic fitness functions: the intrinsic rate of natural increase r\, the net reproductive number R₀\, or Fisher’s reproductive value of a female of age x\, Vₓ. Their choice among these three is sometimes driven by mathematical parsimony. Working with semelparous and iteroparous Great Lakes salmon\, we find that different fitness functions can lead to very different adaptive behaviors to environmental changes. This observation sheds light on just which fitness function may be operational for a given species.

The goals of neuromonitoring are first\, to provide neuroprotection to the patient by warning the surgical team of impending injury so that permanent damage can be prevented\, and second\, to assist with neuronavigation. The ability to ascertain the functional integrity of the nervous system during complex procedures permits surgical approaches that can facilitate safer and more complete treatment of patients. This presentation will give an overview of some fundamental concepts found universally in IONM and then describe more specialized methods utilized in less-frequently encountered procedures. Finally\, we will focus our discussion on the use of IONM methods to explore hypotheses concerning the mechanisms of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) therapy for movement disorders.

Registration link below.\n\nReproduction links the personal and the political. Through policies that promote or limit births\, the state attempts to regulate individuals’ reproductive behavior. At the same time\, individuals make reproductive decisions guided by their own fertility intentions and the meaning they attach to children and parenthood. A puzzle remains: Why does active pro-natalist state policy fail to achieve fertility recovery? This talk centers on urban Chinese individuals’ fertility decision-making under the 2016 universal two-child policy. By examining the meaning of children\, Dr. Zhou highlights how a gendered pursuit of individualism underlies women’s and men’s fertility aspiration and behavior. In turn\, she sheds light on the question of why state policies promoting births may not resonate on the individual level.\n \n Yun Zhou is an Assistant Professor of Sociology and Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. Her research examines social inequality and state-market-family relations through the lens of gender\, marriage\, and reproduction. Her work combines statistical analysis of survey data\, in-depth interviews\, and agent-based computational models. With a focus on gender equity and authoritarian reproductive governance\, Dr. Zhou’s current project investigates the intended and unintended consequences of China’s recent shift toward a universal two-child policy.\n\nZoom webinar registration (required) is here: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_iRfY-cuAQ1-a7rzonTaPDQ UID:76165-19671598@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/76165 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Asia,Chinese Studies,Sociology LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201029T131313 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201110T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201110T125000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Of Moms and Microbes: Pregnancy and the Microbiome DESCRIPTION:Kimberly McKee\, PhD\, Assistant Professor of Family Medicine at the UM Medical School will present a seminar\, with Q&A\, on \"Of Moms and Microbes: Pregnancy and the Microbiome\".\n\nZOOM link:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/97328685723 UID:79039-20178452@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/79039 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biosciences,Chemistry,Interdisciplinary,Life Science,Medicine,Natural Sciences,Nutrition,Pre Med,Pre-Health,Public Health,Science,seminar,Talk LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200902T121526 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201110T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201110T133000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Rackham North: Faculty Job Interviews DESCRIPTION:Designed for those applying for faculty jobs\, this interactive workshop will provide you with a high-level overview of the interview process for faculty positions and give you the opportunity to practice responding to several common interview questions in a low stakes setting with a peer.

Intentionally minimal\, each image distills an interaction\, traumatic incident\, or power imbalance into an accessible visual narrative. Recognizable objects such as chairs\, roots\, ladders\, or spotlights set the stage for the story to unfold. Events are captured midstream\, suspended in time like a felt film still.\n\nThe exhibition is inspired\, in part\, by the courage\, testimony\, and experiences of women (like Christine Blasey Ford) who publicly report assault\, harassment\, or misconduct. The #MeToo movement gave voice to thousands of women to tell their personal stories\, but also exposed a hostile backlash meant to silence them. The title\, “Real and Imagined\,” is a deliberate contradiction\; if one is true\, the other must not be. In practice\, however\, both terms are used to reference a woman’s testimony and determine how it is publicly interpreted. Her account is accepted as truthful by many and simultaneously dismissed as imaginary by the court of public opinion: “her memory is wrong\,” “she imagined it.”\n\nThe works in “Real and Imagined: Fabric Works and Video Animations” make difficult conversations and relationships tangible by stripping them down to their essentials.\n\nWordless physical gestures highlight the psychological and emotional forces at play behind even the smallest of interactions.\n\nBiography\nHeidi Kumao has created award-winning experimental films\, video installations\, cinema machines\, electronic clothing\, and kinetic sculptures. She has exhibited her work in solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally including shows at Art Science Museum Singapore\, Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona\, Fundació Joan Miró (Barcelona)\, and Museu da Imagem e do Som (São Paulo). She has received fellowships from the Creative Capital Foundation\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and the New York Foundation for the Arts. She is a professor at the Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.\n\nFall 2020 Hours and Policies\nBeginning September 15\, 2020\, Stamps Gallery will be open to University of Michigan faculty\, staff\, and students on Tuesdays and Fridays from 2-7 pm.\nAll visitors must have a valid M-Card to enter Stamps Gallery.

Archaic artists created ways to tell stories on vases and relief sculptures. Even though Classical Greece is much better known to the general public\, we will talk about how Greek art found its way to the West.\nLastly\, we will look at early Christian architecture\, paintings\, and mosaics. I taught the introductory art history courses at Kent State University for eleven years\, and I look forward to discussions with participants in this study group. Molly Lindner brings to this subject her 11 years of teaching art history at Kent State Univ. \nThe Study Group meets on Tuesdays Nov. 10 to Dec. 15 from 2:30 to 4:00 p.m. Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone.

The ability to code this video—attribute certain properties\, labels\, and other annotations—in support of analytical domain-relevant questions is critical\; otherwise\, human coding is required. Human coding\, however\, is laborious\, expensive\, not repeatable\, and\, worse\, often error prone. Video coding\, an area within artificial intelligence and computer vision\, seeks automated and semi-automated methods to support more effective and robust video coding. This workshop will review the state of the art in video coding from a capabilities\, limitations and tooling perspective and present real-world use-cases.

Evidence suggests that aging can disrupt this balance between integration and modularity. In this study\, we examined how cognitive training affects the integration and modularity of functional networks in older and younger adults. 23 younger and 23 older adults participated in 10 days of verbal WM training\, leading to performance gains in both age groups. Older adults exhibited lower modularity overall and a greater decrement when switching from rest to task\, compared to younger adults. Interestingly\, younger but not older adults showed increased task-related modularity with training. Furthermore\, whereas training increased efficiency within\, and decreased participation of\, the default-mode network for younger adults\, it enhanced efficiency within a task-specific salience/sensorimotor network for older adults. Finally\, training increased segregation of the default-mode from fronto-parietal/salience and visual networks in younger adults\, while it diffusely increased between-network connectivity in older adults. Thus\, while younger adults increase network segregation with training\, suggesting more automated processing\, older adults persist in\, and potentially amplify\, a more integrated and costly global workspace\, suggesting different age-related trajectories in functional network reorganization with WM training.\n\nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUtf-CurzkoHdXHlCPN2gO3UetH2ba4M0wo UID:78658-20097568@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78658 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Brain,Cognitive Neuroscience,Imaging,Neuroimaging,Neuropsychology,Neuroscience,Psychology LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201001T090718 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201110T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201110T170000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Funded Summer Research!

In this talk\, I will describe two ways our group is trying to understand how the cellular environment affects biomolecule function using single molecule and biophysical tools. In the first part\, I will discuss how single molecule studies have been impeded by the rapid 3D diffusion of single molecules in live cells\, precluding long-duration and high-temporal resolution measurement. To overcome this hurdle\, we have developed 3D single-molecule active real-time tracking (3D-SMART) which enables active feedback tracking of rapidly diffusing and lowly emitting fluorescent particles\, from single virus-like particles and quantum dots in water\, all the way down to single proteins and nucleic acids in viscous solution. 3D-SMART represents a new path toward high resolution single molecule spectroscopy on untethered molecules. In the second half of the talk\, I will discuss our efforts to study the structure of the cytoplasm itself\, starting with intracellular water. Despite its fundamental nature\, direct visualization of subcellular solvation heterogeneity has remained elusive. To explore this question\, we have demonstrated a vibrational-shift imaging approach to probe solvation at the microscopic level by combining spectral-focusing hyperspectral stimulated Raman scattering (hsSRS) with an environmentally-sensitive nitrile probe. When applied to quantitatively measure the spatial variation of solvation in live cells\, this new method reveals significantly reduced solvation in the cytoplasm compared to the nuclear compartment and bulk water! This work sheds light on heterogenous solvation at the subcellular level and opens up new avenues to explore solvation variance in complex systems.\nKevin Welsher (Duke University) UID:75946-19627781@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/75946 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201125T123029 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201110T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201110T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Learn About CVS Health’s Digital Leadership Development Program (Undergraduate) DESCRIPTION:At CVS Health\, we are joined in a common purpose: helping people on their path to better health.

When does Black equate to one's culture\, and when does it not? Why am I at first glance considered black and then by some not black enough?

After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy\, Alabama\, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward\, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed\, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17\, 2020.\n\n96 Minutes.

The interplay of micro-level biology and macro-level social sciences documents gene–environment–phenotype interactions and allows us to examine how genetics relates to child health and wellbeing. However\, traditional genetics research is based on nonrepresentative samples that deviate from the target population\, such as convenience and volunteer samples. This lack of representativeness may distort association studies. Recent findings have provoked concern about misinterpretation\, irreproducibility and lack of generalizability\, exemplifying the need to leverage survey research with genetics for population-based research. This project is motivated by the research team’s collaborative work on the Fragile Family and Child Wellbeing Study and the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study\, which present these common problems in population genetics studies\, to advance the integration of genetic science into population dynamics research. The project will evaluate sample selection effects\, identify population heterogeneity in polygenic score analysis\, and develop strategies to adjust for selection bias in the association studies of educational attainment\, cognition status and substance use for child health and wellbeing. This interdisciplinary project will strengthen the validity and generalizability of population genetics research\, deepen new understandings of human behavior and facilitate advances in population science.

Metabolite concentration levels in biospecimens are important for many critical care health illnesses like sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Sepsis is responsible for 35% of patients who die in the hospital and ARDS has a mortality rate of 40%. Missing data is a common challenge in metabolomics datasets. Many metabolomics investigators impute fixed values for missing metabolite concentrations and this imputation approach leads to lower statistical power\, biased parameter estimates\, and reduced prediction accuracy. Certain applications of metabolomics data\, like breath analysis by gas chromatography\, used for the prediction or detection of ARDS\, can be done without the quantification of individual metabolites. This would circumvent the quantification step of individual metabolites\, eliminating the missing data problem. Our team has developed a rapid gas chromatography breath analyzer\, which has been challenged by missing data\, a time-consuming process of breath signature alignment\, and the following quantification of metabolites across patients. Analyzing the breath signal directly could eliminate these challenges. End-to-end deep learning systems are neural networks that operate directly on a raw data source and make a prediction directly for the target application. These systems have been successful in diverse fields from speech recognition to medicine. We envision an end-to-end deep learning that leverages transfer learning\, from the collection of many healthy samples\, that could rapidly multiply the applications of our breath analyzer. The end-to-end deep learning system will enhance our breath analyzer so it could be used more efficiently in areas of the intensive care unit to the battlefield to identity patients or soldiers with critical illnesses like sepsis and ARDS and monitor longitudinal changes in breath metabolites.

While we dream for zero-carbon vehicles\, future projections suggest little decline in fossil fuel consumption by the transportation sector until 2050. Therefore\, ‘bending the curve’ of CO2 emission prompts the adoption of low-cost and reduced-emission alternative fuels. Natural gas (NG)\, the most abundant fossil fuel on earth\, is such an alternative with nearly 25% lower carbon footprint and lower price compared to its gasoline counterpart. However\, the widespread adoption of natural gas as a vehicular fuel is hindered by the scarcity of high-capacity\, light-weight\, low-cost\, and safe storage systems. Recently\, materials-based natural gas storage for vehicular applications have become one of the most viable options. Especially\, nanoporous materials (NPMs) are in the spotlight of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) because of their exceptional energy storage capacities. However\, the number of such NPMs is nearly infinite. It is unknown\, a priori\, which materials would have the expected natural gas storage capacity. Therefore\, searching a high-performing material is like ‘finding a needle in a haystack’ that slows down the speed of materials discovery against growing technological demand. Here we present a novel approach of developing machine learning-guided equations for the on-demand prediction of energy storage capacities of NPMs using a few physically meaningful structural properties. These equations provide users the ability to calculate energy storage capacity of an arbitrary NPM rapidly using only paper and pencil. We show the utility of these equations by predicting NG storage of over 500\,000 covalent-organic frameworks (COFs)\, a class of NPMs. We discovered a COF with record-setting NG storage capacity\, surpassing the unmet target set by DOE. In principle\, the data-driven approach presented here might be relevant to other disciplines including science\, engineering\, and health care.

Earth-impacting events are driven by changes in the Sun’s magnetic field\; we now have myriad instruments capturing petabytes worth of images of the Sun at a variety of wavelengths\, resolutions\, and vantage points. These data present opportunities for learning-based computer vision since the massive\, well-calibrated image archive is often accompanied by physical models. This talk will describe some of the work that we have been doing to start integrating computer vision and space physics by learning mappings from one image or representation of the Sun to another. I will center the talk on a new system we have developed that emulates parts of the data processing pipeline of the Solar Dynamics Observatory’s Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (SDO/HMI). This pipeline produces data products that help study and serve as boundary conditions for solar models of the energetic events alluded to above. Our deep-learning-based system emulates a key component hundreds of times faster than the current method\, potentially opening doors to new applications in near-real-time space weather modeling. In keeping with the goals of the symposium\, however\, I will focus on some of the benefits close collaboration has enabled in terms of understanding how to frame the problem\, measure success of the model\, and even set up the deep network.

Their emission is powered by giant black holes that convert matter into energy according to the famous Einstein’s equation E = mc^2. The largest progress will occur in quasar spectroscopy. Detailed measurements of spectrum of quasar light\, as it is being emitted near the central black hole and partially absorbed by clouds of gas on the way to the observer on Earth\, allows for a particularly powerful probe of quasar environment. Because spectra of different chemical elements are unique\, spectroscopy allows to study not only the overall properties of matter such as density and temperature\, but also the detailed chemical composition of the intervening matter. However\, the interpretation of these spectra is made very challenging by the many sources contributing to the absorption of light. In order to take a full advantage of this new window into the nature of supermassive black holes we need detailed theoretical understanding of the origin of quasar spectral features. In a MIDAS PODS project we are applying machine learning to model and extract such features. We are training the models using data from the state-of-the-art numerical simulations of the early universe. This approach is fundamentally different from traditional astronomical data analysis. We have only started learning what information can be extracted and still looking for a new framework to interpret these data.

Drawing on a broad set of medieval works both inside and outside of the canon\, however\, Erin Brightwell's Reflecting the Past argues that rather than hewing to the fixed\, particular binaries of Chinese/Japanese or Tale/Chronicle that came to shape said narrative\, medieval thinkers who sought to order the past relied on shared intellectual commitments expressed in ways that move across and between modern linguistic or disciplinary categories: narrative setting and structure\, language selection\, and cosmological principles. Please join us for a conversation facilitated by Takeshi Watanabe\, author of Flowering Tales: Women Exorcising History in Heian Japan (Harvard University Asia Center\, 2020)\, about the strategies used by medieval authors to render unprecedented historical change sensible.\n \nErin Brightwell is Assistant Professor of Pre-modern Japanese Literature. She holds an MA in Chinese (University of Washington\, Seattle) and a PhD in Classical Japanese Literature (Princeton University). In addition to Reflecting the Past: Place Language and Principle in Japan's Medieval Mirror Genre (Harvard University Asia Center\, 2020)\, her latest publications include the translation of Wang Changxiong's 1943 novella \"Honryū\" (The Torrent) in The Asia-Pacific Journal: Japan Focus (permanent link: https://apjjf.org/2018/01/O.html) and a forthcoming article in Journal of Japanese Studies titled \"Making Meaning: Lexical Glosses as Interpretive Interventions in the Kakaishō.\"\n\nPlease register for the Zoom webinar at: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_0yDKoPzaRder5mFVJcOlXA\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.

A compelling possibility is that this results from a physical violation of EFT\, which may arise from correlations between UV and IR physics—as is broadly demanded by gravity. I will discuss Noncommutative Field Theory as a toy model of UV/IR mixing\, where an emergent infrared scale is generated from ultraviolet dynamics. I’ll explore a variety of such theories to develop a picture of how this feature appears\, and to glean lessons to guide the realization of UV/IR mixing in more realistic theories.

However\, the nature of this structural inequality is poorly understood in the context of the current pandemic. Here\, we hypothesized that two features of the structural inequality\, racial residential segregation and income inequality\, contribute to numerous health-compromising conditions\, which in turn exacerbate COVID-19 fatalities. These two features are particularly lethal when combined. To test this hypothesis\, we examined the growth rate of both confirmed COVID-19 cases and deaths in an early period of the outbreak in the counties located in each of the 100 largest metropolitan areas in the U.S. The growth curve for cases and deaths was steeper in counties located in metropolitan areas that residentially segregate Blacks and Hispanics. Moreover\, this effect of racial residential segregation was augmented by income inequality within each county. The current evidence highlights the role of racial and economic disparity in producing the devastating human toll of the pandemic. It also offers important policy implications for making virus-resilient cities.\n\n\nYuyan Han\n\nTitle: Are Experts Aware Of What They Don’t Know?\nSubtitle: A meta-calibration study on psychologists\n\nAbstract:\nThe Confucius said\, “When you know a thing\, to hold that you know it\; and when you do not know a thing\, to allow that you do not know it – this is knowledge.” Experts are usually found having more accurate self-assessment of knowledge compared to the rest. What drives their better calibration? Simply a larger amount of knowledge\, or superior meta-knowledge as the Confucius asserted? In the current study\, we compared the self-assessment performance between psychologists recruited from the SPSP 2020 Conference and UM undergraduates through Intro Psych Subject Pool on the topic of P value in research.

To date\, we have been unable to directly detect or produce this mysterious substance in terrestrial laboratories. However\, we have learned an enormous amount about dark matter from astronomical observations. In particular\, the smallest\, faintest\, and most dark-matter-dominated galaxies have proven to be exceptional laboratories for studying the fundamental properties of dark matter. Our Milky Way galaxy is surrounded by dozens of these ultra-faint \"dwarf\" galaxies\, which have only recently been discovered thanks to the unprecedented sensitivity of digital sky surveys. As telescopes grow larger and more powerful\, we continue to find fainter\, more distant\, and more dark-matter-dominated galaxies inhabiting our \"cosmic backyard\". I will describe recent advances in searches for the faintest galaxies\, and how observations of our tiny galactic neighbors can help address one of the foremost open questions in physics.\n\n UID:79309-20272769@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/79309 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201008T120917 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201111T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201111T170000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Hub Workshop: Diversity in the Workplace DESCRIPTION:Have you ever had to wrestle with changing your name to assimilate at work?

Changes in scope\, the number of products/locations\, plays a significant role in this heterogeneity. Motivated by these facts\, we present a theory of firm size\, where both scope and expertise (which determines revenues and profits) are chosen endogenously. The extent to which expertise is scalable (applicable to multiple products)\, as opposed to local (specific to a particular product)\, is also chosen by the firm. The model predicts rich heterogeneity in responses to a sector-wide demand shock: firms with higher revenue per product (conditional on scope) adjust their scope by less\, while those with higher scope (conditional on revenue per peroduct) adjust by more. Using data on multi-product and multi-establishment firms\, we provide empirical evidence in support of these predictions. We also construct a proxy for the scalability of the firm’s expertise and show that the predictions of the model with respect to the scalability of firm-level expertise\, both in the cross-section and in response to shocks\, are also consistent with the patterns observed in the data.\n\n* To join the seminar\, please contact at econ.events@umich.edu UID:79059-20184343@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/79059 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201126T183022 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201111T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201111T163000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:PhD at Google DESCRIPTION:PhD at Google\nNovember 11 & 12 @ 4:00 PM PT / 6:00PM CT / 7:00PM ET\n\nAre you a technical PhD student interested to learn more about Google opportunities?
