The RNA exosome is a conserved macromolecular machine that degrades a vast number and variety of RNAs. Exosome-mediated RNA degradation leads to the complete elimination of nuclear and cytoplasmic transcripts in turnover and quality control pathways\, and to the partial trimming of RNA precursors in nuclear processing pathways. How the exosome combines specificity and versatility to either eliminate or process RNAs has been a long-standing question.\n\nZOOM REGISTRATION REQUIRED: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_IjnWw1UcRkW8zcDeuAM2tQ UID:75826-19613920@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/75826 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biointerfaces,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Chemistry,Drug Discovery,Lecture,Life Science,Materials Science,Medicine,Natural Sciences,Pharmacy,Postdoctoral Research Fellows,Public Policy,Rackham,Research,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210121T181536 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210125T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210125T120000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Sweetland Write-Together DESCRIPTION:Write-Together sessions provide structure\, accountability\, and support for graduate writers working on writing at any stage\, from papers to theses to journal articles to dissertations and more.

DESCRIPTION:*Jewish-Muslim Research Network Seminar*\n\nThe aim of this presentation is to illustrate and analyze the reactions of some mainstream Israeli politicians to a celebrity marriage between Tzahi Halevi\, a Jewish Israeli actor\, and Lucy Aharish\, a Palestinian Israeli TV personality. Drawing upon the notion of stance\, we unveil the affective trouble generated by this heterosexual union vis-à-vis the Israeli national project. More specifically\, we tease out the kaleidoscopic collage of politicians’ affective (dis)attachments in relation to Halevi\, Aharish and a variety of socioculturally relevant categories such as the Israeli nation. This affective patchwork\, we argue\, is itself the product of a tension that is at the very heart of the Israeli nation-state\, that between the policing of Jewishness as the defining principle of the Israeli national imagined community\, on the one hand\, and the upholding of the democratic imperative to equal treatment and recognition\, on the other.\n\nRoey J. Gafter is a senior lecturer in the department of Hebrew Language at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. He is a sociolinguist whose work focuses on the use of linguistic resources in the construction of ethnic identities. His research explores sociophonetic variation in Hebrew\, the Israeli construction of ethnic identity from a discourse analytic perspective\, and contact between Hebrew and Arabic. He has published\, *inter alia*\, in the *Journal of Sociolinguistics\, Social Semiotics\, and Linguistic Inquiry*.\n\nTommaso M. Milani is a critical discourse analyst who is interested in the ways in which power imbalances are (re)produced and/or contested through semiotic means. His main research foci are: language ideologies\, language policy and planning\, linguistic landscape\, as well as language\, gender and sexuality. He has published extensively on these topics in international journals and edited volumes. Among his publications are the edited collection Language and Masculinities: Performances\, Intersections and Dislocations (Routledge\, 2016) and the special issue of the journal Linguistic Landscape on Gender\, Sexuality and Linguistic Landscapes (2018). He is co-editor of the journal Language in Society.\n\nRegister here: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYldeiopj4sGdD5vHKjgcHI9tOIfbyR8LiR UID:79763-20486023@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/79763 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Jewish Studies,Muslim LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210118T163408 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210125T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210125T124500 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CREES/Ford U.S.-Russia Future Leaders Professional Development Workshop. Supporting Government Transparency in Ukraine: The Role of NGOs and EU Policymakers DESCRIPTION:NOTE (1/18/21): This event is now full. However\, if you would like to be added to the workshop's waitlist\, please fill out this Google form: https://myumi.ch/v2oV7\n\nThe second CREES/Ford U.S.-Russia Future Leaders Professional Development Workshop will be led by Tinatin Tsertsvadze\, policy analyst at the Open Society European Policy Institute. Participants must be current U-M students and will be admitted\, space pending\, beginning January 11.\n \nIn October 2020\, Ukraine’s Constitutional Court ruled that the country’s National Agency on Prevention of Corruption (NAPC) could no longer publish the electronic asset declarations of government officials. The court also struck down the imposing of criminal liability on government officials who provide false information on these asset declarations. The court’s decision represents a significant setback for government transparency advocates. The ruling may also negatively impact Ukraine - EU relations.\n\nThis workshop will have students analyze the role that international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) can play in raising awareness of\, and advocating for\, increased government transparency in Ukraine. During the workshop\, students will consider the practical steps NGOs can take to obtain buy-in from both Ukraine-based civic organizations and EU policymakers to advance anti-corruption efforts.\n \nTinatin Tsertsvadze\, a policy analyst at the Open Society European Policy Institute\, will lead this workshop. She is an expert on human rights and rule of law policy in the European Union\, Eastern Europe and Eurasia. Before joining the Open Society European Policy Institute\, she worked at the Human Rights and Democracy Network and the Foundation for International Relations and Foreign Dialogue.\n\nParticipating students must agree to complete select readings and a brief writing assignment prior to the workshop session. More details will be provided upon registration.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

In my presentation\, I highlight this in two studies. The first study examines how constellations of cognitive skills (e.g.\, inhibition\, planning\, emotion regulation) are associated with key developmental domains\, finding that unique cognitive profiles have functional significance for academics\, mental health\, and health behaviors in adolescence. The second study illustrates three different techniques for the analysis of intensive longitudinal data on verbal recall with the purpose of delineating links between daily cognitive and contextual processes. The results provide insight into how mean-based\, within-person\, and person-specific analyses handle intensive longitudinal data and how this leads to disparate inferences about daily processes. Together\, these studies highlight how levels of analysis (e.g.\, domain specificity of outcomes) and analytic techniques (e.g.\, degree of person specificity) matter for understanding individual differences in cognition across the lifespan.

Launched in the summer of 2020\, the Theme Semester concludes in January 2021 and marks the historic results of this election season as our new President and Vice President take office under extraordinary circumstances. While this election season has wrought charges of voter suppression\, claims of irregularities\, and violence in the service of vastly unproven assertions of fraud\, for this event we place our primary focus on Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris\, who will make history on January 20th. She has broken barriers in American politics and will serve in office during a moment marked by a global pandemic and economic hardship\, as well as by an upswing in nativist sentiments\, racism\, and a politics of exclusion. Harris brings a wealth of experience — as a former US Senator and state's attorney general — and a cluster of identities — as a Black woman and a woman of South Asian descent\, a daughter of immigrants\, a graduate of a historically Black university\, a mother within a blended family — to a role that she will inevitably reframe in the years to come. This panel promises a rich discussion on the diverse histories that intersect in this moment\, their meanings for the communities Harris embodies\, and for the nation as a whole.\n\nZoom - Registration Required: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_95L_h0-1StGsBZbTsn-gQA\n\nPanelists:\n\nIntroduction by Provost Susan Collins\, Edward M.

Brazil is also the country most affected by the recent Zika epidemic and is an epicenter of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. In this talk\, I will introduce DeCodE\, funded by NICHD\, and the first panel survey on fertility and reproductive health in Brazil\, tracking women’s childbearing intentions\, desires and outcomes during the Zika and Covid-19 public health emergencies. Combining analysis from in-depth interviews and baseline survey data collected in April-September 2020\, this talk will uncover women’s social and reproductive vulnerabilities during the pandemic. Results show that inequities are exacerbated and that women socially exposed to Zika during the epidemic intend to postpone and forego childbearing. Overall findings suggest that there are clear spillover effects across successive novel infectious disease emergencies that are relevant in every country Zika and Covid-19 have touched. \n\nBio: Letícia Marteleto is a social scientist with expertise in social demography\, social stratification and reproductive health. Marteleto’s scholarship examines inequalities in fertility\, reproductive processes and educational attainment\, among others. Marteleto’s research has been funded by several foundations. She is currently the PI of DeCodE\, funded by NICHD\, and the first panel survey on reproductive health in Brazil\, tracking women’s fertility desires\, intentions and outcomes during the Zika and Covid-19 public health crises. Marteleto’s work has appeared in flagship journals in sociology\, demography and other disciplines\, such as Demography\, Population and Development Review and Social Forces. Professor Marteleto holds a PhD in Sociology from The University of Michigan and is currently Professor of Sociology at the University of Texas at Austin.\n\n\nPopulation Studies Center (PSC) Brown Bag seminars highlight recent research in population studies and serve as a focal point for building our research community.\n\nContact PSC Office for Zoom details.

When it is done well\, communication creates human contact\, enables a person to discover solutions\, builds people up\, deepens their relationships\, and serves as a source of inspiration and influence. And although all of us communicate every day at work and at home\, we often fall short of our own best aspirations. Most often\, it is because we may not know how. \n\nThis session is an introduction to the art of positive communication. It is based on the premise that the “spoken word\, spoken honorably and well\, can make a difference that no other form of communication can equal.” In it\, you will learn six critical behaviors that will improve your capacity for connecting with others\, help you foster high-quality relationships\, and lead others positively. \n\nFramed by powerful stories and a practical model of communication you can use today\, the session will invite you to transform your own communication and thereby create your own best moments as a person and a leader. \n\nAbout Mirivel:\nDr. Julien C. Mirivel is Professor of Applied Communication at the University of Arkansas\, Little Rock. He is “among the founding scholars in the emerging field of positive communication” and an award-winning teacher and scholar. \n\nMirivel has published in the best journals in the field of communication and is the author of two books on positive communication: The Art of Positive Communication: Theory and Practice and How Communication Scholars Think and Act: A Lifespan Perspective. Mirivel has served in a number of leadership roles including co-director of the Academy for Teaching and Learning Excellence\, Interim Chair\, Associate Dean\, and Dean of the College of Social Sciences & Communication. \n\nIn the last five years alone\, he has delivered hundreds of keynotes\, trainings\, and workshops on how to communicate effectively across contexts. He is a TEDx speaker whose mission is to inspire individuals and groups to communicate more positively at work and at home.

DESCRIPTION:Computer vision has ceased to be a purely academic endeavor. From law enforcement\, to border control\, to employment\, healthcare diagnostics\, and assigning trust scores\, computer vision systems are being rapidly integrated into all aspects of society. In research\, there are works that purport to determine a person’s sexuality from their social network profile images\, others that claim to classify “violent individuals” from drone footage. These works were published in high impact journals\, and some were presented at workshops in top tier computer vision conferences such as CVPR.\n\nA critical public discourse surrounding the use of computer-vision based technologies has also been mounting. For example\, the use of facial recognition technologies by policing agencies has been heavily critiqued and\, in response\, companies such as Microsoft\, Amazon\, and IBM have pulled or paused their facial recognition software services. Gender Shades showed that commercial gender classification systems have high disparities in error rates by skin-type and gender\, and other works discuss the harms caused by the mere existence of automatic gender recognition systems. Recent papers have also exposed shockingly racist and sexist labels in popular computer vision datasets–resulting in the removal of some. In this talk\, I will highlight some of these issues and proposed solutions to mitigate bias\, as well as how some of the proposed fixes could exacerbate the problem rather than mitigate it.\n\nBio:\n\nTimnit Gebru is a senior research scientist at Google co-leading the Ethical Artificial Intelligence research team.

In particular\, I will discuss a new technique for pre-processing π0 momenta through combinatoric di-photon pairing in advance of applying jet algorithms which significantly reduces π0 photon splitting across jets in multi-jet events and lead to an improvement of the correct photon-to-jet assignment efficiency by a factor of about 3 when the EM resolution is improved from 15 to 3%/√E. \n\nI will then present the design and optimization of a highly segmented crystal detector concept that achieves the required energy resolution of 3%/√E\, and a time resolution better than 30 ps providing exceptional particle identification capabilities and discuss how the implementation of dual-readout on crystals permits to achieve a resolution better than 30%/√E for neutral hadrons. The cost-effective design presented demonstrates how the integration of crystal calorimetry into future Higgs factory collider detectors can open new perspectives by yielding the highest level of combined EM and neutral hadron resolution in the PFA paradigm.\n UID:80560-20740173@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/80560 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210214T160749 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210125T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210125T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:A Discussion on Representation: What Being Seen Means to the Marginalized DESCRIPTION:The Sikh Students Association at the University of Michigan is hosting an open conversation and discussion led by Dr. Simran Jeet Singh\, author of Fauja Singh Keeps Going and American educator\, writer\, and activist for Religion News Service.

Lesions to a brain region called the retrosplenial cortex (RSC) dramatically impair spatial orientation abilities\, but little is known about how the RSC is able to carry out these GPS-like functions. Here\, we build towards a comprehensive cellular and circuit understanding of the RSC. We identify a uniquely small and excitable pyramidal neuron and show that it is the primary recipient of spatially-relevant inputs to the RSC\, allowing this cell to simultaneously encode both head speed and direction. We also discover a uniquely fast brain rhythm in the RSC and show that this rhythm is controlled precisely by the speed of movement. Finally\, we demonstrate how some of the critical building blocks of RSC function are impaired in a preclinical model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD)\, laying the foundation for understanding why the majority of persons with AD suffer from pronounced spatial disorientation.

In Western scholarship\, such multiethnic literary voices have remained largely silent and understudied. Drawing from her first book manuscript\, in this talk\, Dr. Zhang will offer a critical and timely introduction to Chinese ethnic minority literature from a global perspective. Particularly\, she will demonstrate how literature produced by ethnic groups of southwest China seeks to forge a \"transnational tribal solidarity:\" minority poets articulate their connections to Native American cultures and Latin American literary influences. Rooted in both indigenous traditions and transnational cultural imagination\, contemporary Chinese minority literature is vital for scholars of China and global multiculturalism to understand the movements\, interactions\, and negotiations taking place between indigenous/ethnic communities\, the nation\, and transnational forces in our increasingly interconnected world.\n \n Yanshuo Zhang is a postdoctoral fellow in the Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. Her current book manuscript\, tentatively titled \"Beyond Minority: The Qiang and Ethno-national Imagination in Modern China\,\" is an innovative interdisciplinary project that combines anthropological field research in the ethnic regions of southwest China with close reading of previously under-studied minority cultural articulations in contemporary China. Dr. Zhang's articles have appeared or will appear in positions: \"asia critique\,\" \" Prism: Theory and Modern Chinese Literature\,\" \"Heritage and Society\,\" among other journals. She received her PhD in Chinese Literature and Culture from Stanford University and grew up in China's multiethnic Sichuan Province.\n\nZoom webinar\, attendance requires registration: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_7HcSZv1IQF-hC0mcsJw-xg UID:80183-20594124@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/80183 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Asia,China,Chinese Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210108T132036 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210126T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210126T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:LSA Opportunity Hub Employer Connection: Intern virtually with IES Abroad DESCRIPTION:Interested in getting cross-cultural work experience from home?

Flight plans must accommodate specific aircraft characteristics including physical volume with safety zone clearance\, landing/takeoff procedures\, kinodynamics\, and a wide range of flight environments. No single motion planner is applicable across all possible aircraft configurations and operating conditions. This dissertation proposes the first motion planning algorithm selection capability with application to small Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) multicopters operating in and over a complex urban landscape.\n\nFail-safe studies are presented to improve on contemporary \"fly-home\" or automatic landing protocols. Three alternative data-driven fail-safe protocols are presented for multicopter UAS urban flight\, focusing on building rooftops as safe urban landing sites. In the first fail-safe strategy\, the multicopter identifies\, generates\, and follows a flight plan to the closest available rooftop suitable for landing. In the second supervisory fail-safe strategy\, the multicopter examines rooftops en route to a planned landing site\, diverting to a closer\, clear landing site when possible. In the third fail-safe strategy\, the multicopter cannot preplan a safe landing site due to missing landing site data. In this case\, the multicopter executes a coverage path to explore the area and evaluate overflown rooftops to find a safe landing site. These three fail-safe algorithms integrate map generation\, flight planning\, and area coverage capabilities.\n\nThe motion planning algorithm selection problem (ASP) requires qualitative and quantitative metrics to inform the ASP of user/agent\, algorithm\, and configuration space preferences and constraints. Urban flight map-based\, path-based\, and software-based cost metrics are defined to provide insights into the properties of the urban canyon needed to construct safe and efficient flight plans. Map-based metrics describe the operating environment by constructing a collection of GPS/Lidar navigation performance\, population density\, and obstacle risk exposure metric maps. Path-based metrics account for a vehicle's energy consumption and distance traveled. Software-based metrics measure memory consumption and execution time of an algorithm. Metric maps were analyzed in-depth with path-based and software-based metrics utilized in Monte Carlo and ASP studies.\n\nAn algorithm portfolio consisting of geometric (Point-to-Point: PTP)\, graph-based (A* variants)\, and sampling-based (BIT* variants) motion planners were considered in this work. Path cost\, execution time\, and success rate benchmarks were investigated using Monte Carlo problem instances with A* \"plus\" producing the lowest cost paths\, PTP having the fastest executions\, and A* \"dist\" having the best overall success rates. The BIT* variant paths typically had higher cost but their success rate increased relative to altitude. The problem instances and metric maps informed two new machine learning solutions for urban small UAS motion planning ASP. Rule-based decision trees were simple to construct but unable to capture both complex cost metrics and algorithm properties. The investigated neural network-based ASP formulations produced promising results\, with a hybrid two-stage selection scheme having the best algorithm selection accuracy\, laying the seeds for future work.\n\nThe most significant innovation of this dissertation is motion planning ASP for UAS. Non-traditional open-source databases also advance the field of data-driven flight planning\, contributing to fail-safe UAS operations as well as ASP. Path planning algorithms integrated a new suite of diverse cost metrics accompanied by a novel multi-objective admissible heuristic function. Neural network and decision tree ASP options were presented and evaluated as a first-case practical approach to solving the motion planning ASP for small UAS urban flight.

It explores themes of alternative histories\, archives\, Black identity\, collective memory\, storytelling\; meshing performance and performativity\, and the interplay of the oral and aural in one’s experience of the world. An undercurrent of movement explored in multiple variations thread the works together\, realized through a variety of methods including painterly gesture\, repetitive mark-making\, performance with an audience or without\, spoken word\, ambient sound\, and reimagined instruments. The exhibition aspires to pull at the loosened threads of a social fabric in crisis\, revealing larger complex histories and art discourses\, nationally and internationally\, framed through the experiences and trajectories of Stamps alumni during their time in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication that will include interviews with each of the alumni artists conducted by current Stamps’ student and exhibition co-curator Moteniola Ogundipe.\n\nStory\, Word\, Sound\, Sway is co-curated by Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan and Moteniola Ogundipe.\n\n \n\nImage: Levester Williams\, “Shift\, Sift\, Swoosh Bods\,” 2018\, (detail\, video still) HD video\, color\, four audio channels\; 17 minutes 33 seconds (full length).

We show that generative adversarial nets (GANs) can not only generate realistic cloud fields with corresponding meteorological variables\, but also capture known physical relationship between cloud fields and meteorological variables such as sea surface temperature\, atmospheric stability\, and relative humidity etc. We demonstrate that this approach works across a large range of spatial scales: from individual grid points (sub-grid process modeling)\, multiple grids\, to global scale. In addition\, the AI-CD approach is stochastic in nature. We suggest the AI-CD approach can be used as a data-drive framework for stochastic cloud parameterization.\n\nBio: Dr. Yuan got his B.S. in Geophysics and Computer Science in Peking Univ.\, PhD from University of Maryland\, College Park\, in 2008. After graduation\, he is affiliated with Joint Center for Earth Systems Technologies (JCET) at the UMBC and NASA GSFC as an Associated Research Scientist. His research interest includes cloud and aerosol climate feedback\, aerosol-cloud interactions\, remote sensing\, cloud physics\, and application of ML/Deep Learning in Earth science. In deep learning applications\, Dr. Yuan published a few papers in modeling sub-grid clouds\, global scale clouds\, hurricane prediction\, finding ship-tracks\, and supervised and unsupervised cloud morphology classifications.

This webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered the joining information will be sent to your email.\n\nRegister at:\nhttps://myumi.ch/bv8Ey\n\nAre subtitles the “one-inch-tall barrier\,” as director Bong Joon-ho has characterized in his 2020 Golden Globe speech? Or aren’t they an invitation to foreign cultural products? This presentation revolves around the enthusiastic responses by Korean audiences toward the English subtitles for Bong’s award-winning feature\, Parasite (2019). Subtitles have long been the target\, probably the easiest target of global cinema fans for their mistranslation. As a subordinate translation to an audiovisual text\, subtitling is inherently vulnerable to such criticism due to the technical restrictions of time and space. For Parasite\, however\, the case was different. As it won Cannes’ Palm d’Or in May 2019\, its English subtitles—done by Darcy Paquet—were quickly named as one of the most contributing factors that made Bong’s masterpiece accessible to non-Korean-speaking audiences. Korean film fans lauded Paquet’s English subtitles for achieving the impossible task of translating the highly untranslatable details in Bong’s film\, namely “Bong-tail\,” which have been considered a feature that characterizes the director’s thorough approach to filmmaking. What sets such Korean audiences’ enthusiasm for English subtitles apart from their general dismissal of Korean subtitles for international films? With the question in mind\, my presentation delves into discourses surrounding the audiovisual translation of Parasite on various popular forums\, including review-aggregation websites\, YouTube videos\, and comments sections for news entries. Navigating Koreans’ celebratory reactions to English subtitles of Parasite\, the presentation illuminates the popular articulation of global Korean cinema.\n\nIrhe Sohn is Assistant Professor of Korean at Smith College. Ranging from colonial Korean cinema to the history of subtitling and cinema under the authoritarian regime\, his research revolves around the relationship between politics and aesthetics in the history of Korean cinema and media. He is currently writing a book manuscript entitled Promises of Failure: Dreams of Cinema in Colonial Korea.

Being Queer in Russia: A Conversation about Challenges Facing Russia’s LGBTQ+ Movement DESCRIPTION:This CREES Noon Lecture is brought to you by U-M undergraduates Rachael Merritt and Kyle Arnashus\, Russian Language and Culture Majors. The students organized this panel in culmination of their project \"Bridging the Gap between LGBTQ+ Communities in Russia and the United States\,\" under the auspices of the CREES-Ford School initiative \"Developing Future Leaders in U.S.-Russia Relations.\"\n \nFrom the introduction of the 2013 Gay Propaganda Law\, the attempted “Trans Ban” laws to the Family Code in 2020\, to continuous waves of torture and murder of gay men in Chechnya\, members of Russia’s LGBTQ+ community have found themselves in increasingly precarious positions in the struggle for the full realization of their human rights. Now\, more than ever\, it is imperative that the international Russian LGBTQ+ community come together to form a unified front to fight against increasing oppression. However\, the Russian LGBTQ+ community struggles with disconnectedness\, both in terms of a unifying Russian LGBTQ+ identity and contradictory visions for the future of Russian LGBTQ+ movement. This panel seeks to address these schisms within the community and foster greater understanding for the identities and perspectives of Russia’s LGBTQ+ diaspora and domestic communities.\n \nAll too often in Russian queer diaspora communities individuals feel that they need to forfeit their Russian identity in order to conform to western standards of queer identities. They can feel a loss of their roots\, culture\, and family. This panel will discuss queer identity formation as it relates to re-connection with a Russian identity\, the different obstacles of trauma and persecution that stand in the way of this reunification\, and the tremendous impact sustained support through shared conceptions of identity could have for the longevity and strength of the Russian LGBTQ+ movement. Also to be discussed is the media portrayal of the LGBTQ+ movement in the West and in Russia. These depictions are subjected to external or group specific pressures and have contributed to contradictory opinions on methods of social activism throughout the LGBTQ+ community. This fragmentation leaves the LGBTQ+ community vulnerable to oppression and popular criticism.\n \nCollaboration and connectedness between Russian diaspora populations\, regional communities\, and organizations in Moscow and Petersburg creates an opportunity for effective social organization within the Russian LGBTQ+ movement. The members of the panel bring vastly different personal experiences of identity formation and Russian LGBTQ+ activism\, which will serve to begin a dialogue around the deeply entrenched differences in LGBTQ+ identity and movements between their respective groups. These testimonies and the subsequent discussion will hopefully serve as a bridge to find common ground and move the Russian LGBTQ+ movement forward in a more unified and effective way.\n \nSpeakers:\n \nAlla Chikinda is the regional representative and communications manager for the LGBTQ+ Resource Center based in Yekaterinburg\, Russia. The Resource Center provides a safe space for LGBTQ+ individuals to congregate and form community. The organization also hosts informational meetings and takes part in organizing pride activities\, and implements social and legal programs and services aimed at overcoming discrimination of the LGBTQ+ community. Joining the Resource Center in 2016\, Alla was first responsible for the center’s social media and external communications. Her work led to an increase in the number of followers and mentions in local media outlets. Since 2018\, Alla has been concentrating her work with media outlets and stakeholders in the region\, and\, as a result\, the LGBTQ+ agenda is much more visible in Yekaterinburg\, on the national\, and sometimes international\, level. It is considered among the most prominent and efficient LGBTQ+ organizations in Russia. Over the past two years\, the center has found a lot of allies and partners among local NGOs\, cultural organisations and businesses. Alla believes that a representation of Russian LGBTQ+ identities outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg are essential to form a more comprehensive and inclusive community. It is also Alla’s belief that the integration of the Resource Center into the surrounding community and cooperation with law enforcement is integral to its success. \n\nEzra Erikson is the digital director at RUSA LGBT\, and he has also used his expertise in social media marketing to lead initiatives that advocate for LGBTQ+ rights both in Russia and across the globe. Notably\, Ezra has contributed to the development of the Illuminator Project\, an initiative designed to raise awareness of gender identity and sexual orientation among Russian-speaking parents. A target of state persecution\, Ezra was arrested in June 2016 in Moscow\, accused of “gay propaganda\,” when he and his partner were paying tribute to the victims of the mass shooting at the Pulse club in Orlando. Ezra moved to the United States in 2017 after his coming out resulted in death threats from relatives.\n \nAnastasiia Fedorova is a writer and curator based in London. She is a regular contributor to \"Dazed\,\" \"i-D\,\" \"GARAGE\,\" \"Kaleidoscope Magazine\,\" \"032c\,\" \"SHOWstudio\,\" and \"The Guardian\" among other titles. She works as a Strategy and Partnership Manager at \"The Calvert Journal\,\" a London-based publication for culture\, innovation\, photography\, and travel in the New East. Anastasiia contributes to LGBTQ+ content curation at \"The Calvert Journal\,\" and has covered an impressive number of stories on queer culture in the New East\, particularly in Russia. These stories include analysis of Russia’s LGBTQ+ underground movement\, queer social media influencers and activists\, Russian drag and trans legacies\, as well as queer icons of cinema and Russian history. Anastasiia is also a founder of Russian Queer Revolution\, a platform for LGBTQ+ creatives from Russia\, which she started in 2020. Anastasiia has lived in London for the past nine years\, and is a member of the Russian queer community.\n\nLyosha Gorshkov is a co-president at RUSA LGBT\, an organization based in New York City\, that operates as a support network for Russian-speaking LGBTQ+ individuals. RUSA LGBT provides informational support to asylum seekers\, and organizes social events to increase acceptance of LGBTQ+ people within the Russian speaking public. Lyosha founded Brighton Beach Pride (the first ever Russian-speaking pride) in 2017 that aims at creating a dialogue with Russian diaspora community leaders who hold more conservative views. Lyosha has a background in academia as a former Political Science Professor at Perm State University in Russia. In 2014\, as a result of his vocal advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights in Russia and his openly gay status\, Lyosha received threats from security services and Neo-Nazi groups and was forced to seek asylum in the United States. In addition to his work at RUSA LGBT\, Lyosha currently works as the assistant director of PRIDE and Women’s Centers at Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania.\n\nRegistration is required for this Zoom webinar at https://myumi.ch/3qyqm.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu.

This concern is heightened for educators in high poverty districts who teach predominantly black or Latinx students.\n\nNow more than ever we need talented\, caring\, and capable people committed to supporting our students in their academic and social development. Finding academic interventions that address inequities that historically underserved students face is one of our nation’s most urgent challenges.\n\nJoin us on January 27th for a live info sessionto learn about our fellow position- a full-time service opportunity!

In a model\nof multi-dimensional identity\, we show how economic underrepresentation can evolve\nthrough identity-specific norms. Whereas standard approaches treat identity dimensions as independent\, our analysis reveals deep connections between inequality and underrepresentation based on race\, gender and other characteristics. `Sterilized interventions' along a single identity dimension are impossible. Interventions that aim to reduce underrepresentation along one identity dimension can increase underrepresentation along another. We show how underrepresentation can be eliminated along every dimension\, through a system of (a) self- financing subsidies or (b) role models\, where interventions are connected across identity dimensions.\n\nFor information on how to watch this lecture and sign up for the SBEE mailing list to receive notice of upcoming events\, please visit the SBEE website: \nhttps://umbee.github.io/SBEE_Seminars UID:80368-20711697@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/80368 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201216T161758 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210127T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210127T150000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Summer Programs Summit 2021 DESCRIPTION:Panel on Virtual Engagement\, Accessibility\, and Student Well-Being \n\nGroup Discussion on the Future of Virtual Programming\n\nResources (Loom videos and PDFs) on great digital tools and how to use them within programming\n\nChildren on Campus campus-wide update UID:80089-20556866@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/80089 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Inclusion,Well-being LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210105T191359 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210127T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210127T140000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Webinar: Policy Solutions to Support Family Caregivers DESCRIPTION:This webinar will review the current state of informal or family caregiving in the United States\, describe the research on factors that impact caregiver stress\, and discuss various policy solutions at the local\, state and national level.According to the AARP\, over 43 million adults currently provide unpaid care to family members or friends in the United States\, with an estimated economic value of approximately $470 billion in 2017. Almost 40% of all caregivers find their caregiving situation to be emotionally stressful. When caregivers feel they had no choice in assuming their caregiving responsibilities\, this percentage increases to 53%. Recent trends that shift care from institutional to home-based settings and the isolating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic are creating an even greater sense of urgency to find ways to better support caregivers.\n\nThe content of this webinar has been developed under a grant from the National Institute on Disability\, Independent Living\, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR #90RTHF0001).

Studying this system – much of it driven by the Sun’s constant outpouring of solar wind – not only helps us understand fundamental information about how the universe works\, but also helps protect our technology and astronauts in space. NASA seeks knowledge of near-Earth space\, because\, when extreme\, space weather can interfere with our communications\, satellites and power grids. The study of the Sun and space can also teach us more about how stars contribute to the habitability of planets through-out the universe. \n\nMapping out this interconnected system requires a holistic study of the Sun’s influence on space\, Earth and other planets. NASA has a fleet of spacecraft strategically placed throughout our heliosphere – from Parker Solar Probe at the Sun observing the very start of the solar wind\, to satellites around Earth\, to the farthest human-made object\, Voyager\, which is sending back observations on interstellar space. Each mission is positioned at a critical\, well-thought out vantage point to observe and understand the flow of energy and particles throughout the solar system\, and all helping us untangle the effects of the star we live with.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Nicola Fox is the Heliophysics Division Director in the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington\, DC. Until August 2018\, Dr. Fox worked at the Applied Physics Lab at the Johns Hopkins University where she was the Chief Scientist for Heliophysics and the project scientist for NASA’s Parker Solar Probe. Dr. Fox served as the deputy project scientist for the Van Allen Probes\, and the operations scientist for the International Solar Terrestrial Physics program. Fox received her BS in Physics and PhD in Space and Atmospheric Physics from the Imperial College of Science\, Technology and Medicine in London. She received an MS in Telematics and Satellite Communications from the University of Surrey.

Modern scientists use computational techniques to reduce mountains of data\, to simulate impossible experiments\, and to develop intuition about the behavior of complex systems. Much of the research completed by modern scientists would be impossible without the use of computation. And yet\, while computation is a crucial tool of practicing scientists\, most modern science curricula do not reflect its importance and utility. In this talk\, I will discuss the urgent need to construct such curricula and present research that investigates the challenges at a variety of scales from the large (institutional structures) to the small (student understanding of a concept). I will discuss how the results of this research can be leveraged to facilitate the computational revolution in science education. This research will help us understand and develop institutional incentives\, effective teaching practices\, evidence-based course activities\, and valid assessment tools. This work has been supported by Michigan State University’s CREATE for STEM Institute\, the National Science Foundation\, the Norwegian Agency for Quality Assurance in Education (NOKUT)\, the Norwegian Research Council\, and the Thon Foundation.

We developed Cumulus\, the first comprehensive cloud-based framework\, to address the big data challenge arising from sc/snRNA-seq analysis. Cumulus combines the power of cloud computing with improvements in algorithm and implementation to achieve high scalability\, low cost\, user-friendliness and integrated support for a comprehensive set of features. We benchmark Cumulus on the Human Cell Atlas Census of Immune Cells dataset of bone marrow cells and show that it substantially improves efficiency over conventional frameworks\, while maintaining or improving the quality of results\, enabling large-scale studies.\n\nIn recent years\, biologists have found that sc/snRNA-seq alone is not enough to reveal the full picture of how cells function and coordinate with each other in a complex tissue. They begin to couple sc/snRNA-seq with other common data modalities\, such as single-cell ATAC-seq (scATAC-seq)\, single-cell Immune Repertoire sequencing (scIR-seq)\, spatial transcriptomics and mass cytometry. This data coupling is called single-cell multimodal omics. As it is becoming a new common practice\, new analysis needs emerge along with two major computational challenges: big data challenge and integration challenge. The big data challenge requires us to develop scalable computational infrastructure and algorithms to deal with the ever-growing large datasets produced from the community. The integration challenge requires us to design new algorithms to enable holistic integration of heterogeneous data from different modalities. In the last part of my talk\, I will discuss my team’s efforts and plans to develop Cumulus as an integrated data analysis framework for scaled single-cell multimodal omics. \n\nSingle-cell multimodal omics has the potential to provide a more comprehensive characterization of complex multicellular systems than the sum of its parts. As the datasets produced from the community keep growing substantially\, the enhanced Cumulus will continue playing an important role in the effort to build atlases of complex tissues and organs at higher cellular resolution\, and in leveraging them to understand the human body in health and disease.\n\nShort bio: Dr. Bo Li is an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School\, the director of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology at Center for Immunology Inflammatory Diseases\, Massachusetts General Hospital\, and an associate member of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.

We study the effects of a prominent program aimed at reducing the energy use of large Chinese companies. Difference-in-differences analyses show that regulated firms significantly reduce their energy consumption and output but do not increase their energy efficiency. Using detailed business registration data\, we link regulated firms to non-regulated firms that are part of the same conglomerate. We estimate large spillovers on cross-owned non-regulated firms\, which increase both output and energy use. We then specify and calibrate a model of conglomerate production that fits our setting and the estimated effects of the regulation. The model quantifies the importance of conglomerate reallocation for aggregate outcomes\, the shadow cost of the regulation\, and the efficiency gains from using public information on business networks to improve the design of energy regulation.\n\n\n* To join the seminar\, please contact at econ.events@umich.edu UID:81233-20877905@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81233 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210115T141950 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210127T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210127T170000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:School of Nursing Graduate Information Session DESCRIPTION:Learn more about the Nursing graduate programs offered at the U-M School of Nursing!\nRegister for this event at https://nursing.umich.edu/about/visit-us UID:80812-20793324@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/80812 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Nursing,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210111T112323 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210127T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210127T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Science Success Series | Growth and Grit: Developing a Mindset for Success DESCRIPTION:What if your ability to succeed in your classes was determined in part before you even stepped into the classroom?

Such disciplinary cultures resist concerns about implicit or structural biases\, and yet\, year after year\, scientists observe persistent gender and racial inequalities in their labs\, departments\, and programs. In this colloquium\, Julie Posselt makes the case that understanding field-specific cultures is a crucial step for bringing about real change and that we can learn as much from quantum as classical dynamics about the dynamics of scientific organizations. She will share research that compares equity\, diversity\, and inclusion efforts in astronomy and physics\, and the subtle ways that exclusion and power operate in scientific organizations and\, sometimes\, within change efforts themselves.\n\nJulie Posselt's bio:\nDr. Julie Posselt received her Ph.D. from the University of Michigan School of Education and is currently an Associate Professor of higher education in the USC Rossier School of Education. Specializing in graduate education and STEM fields\, and elite undergraduate institutions\, her research examines institutionalized inequities in higher education and organizational efforts aimed at reducing inequalities and encouraging diversity. She has also written a book\, Inside Graduate Admissions: Merit\, Diversity\, and Faculty Gatekeeping (2016\, Harvard University Press)\, based on an award-winning study of faculty judgment in ten highly ranked doctoral programs in three universities. This work has led to a partnership with USC\, APS\, and the Council of Graduate Schools that focuses on re-examining how we evaluate students and scholars for key academic opportunities.

It offers an investigation of how Caribbean and American artists of the early twentieth century were responding to the colonial and hegemonic regimes through visual and performative tropicalist representation. It privileges the land and how a sense of place is critical in the identity formation of early twentieth-century artists as well as their creative processes. By proposing an alternative understanding of the tropics\, this talk demonstrates how Wifredo Lam and Josephine Baker effectively contributed to the development of Black modernity\, and even Black sonic modernity. They employed what I call “tropical aesthetics” in an effort to enact the naming of place. Tropical aesthetics allows for a critical imaging and reclaiming of space and proves how through art one can reify social geographies in order to have a sense of place\, a rootedness that is desired in order to attain some semblance of sovereignty. \n\nBio: Samantha A. Noël is an Associate Professor of Art History at Wayne State University. She received her B.A. in Fine Art from Brooklyn College\, C.U.N.Y.\, and her M.A. and Ph.D. in Art History from Duke University. Her research interests revolve around the history of art\, visual culture and performance of the Black Diaspora. She has published on black modern and contemporary art and performance in journals such as Small Axe\, Third Text\, and Art Journal. Noël’s book\, Tropical Aesthetics of Black Modernism (Duke University Press\, forthcoming 2021)\, offers a thorough investigation of how Caribbean and American artists of the early twentieth century were responding to colonial and hegemonic regimes through visual and performative tropicalist representation. It privileges the land and how a sense of place is critical in the identity formation of early twentieth-century artists as well as their creative processes. Noël is working on a new book tentatively titled Diasporic Art in the Age of Black Power. This book seeks to examine the impact of the Black Power Movement on visual art as it emerged in the political\, historical\, and social contexts of the United States of America and the Anglophone Caribbean in the 1960s and 1970s. Currently\, Noël is the 2020-2021 Leonard A. Lauder Visiting Senior Fellow at The Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts at the National Gallery of Art. Her research has also been supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Moreau Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Notre Dame. Noël has also received a number of grants and fellowships from Wayne State University.

Moreover\, if we discover that vaccines prevent not only disease but also transmission\, authorities must factor vaccine indirect protection (vaccine-generated herd immunity) into their considerations\, which sometimes suggest a strategy of targeting groups that cause the most transmission. In this talk we will use a mathematical model to address the question: which age group should be prioritized for COVID-19 vaccination in order to prevent the most deaths? We developed an age-structured human-environment mathematical model for Ontario\, Canada\, where evolutionary game theory describes how population adherence to non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) responds to case incidence. Schools and workplaces are also closed and re-opened based on reported cases. We compared strategies of vaccinating 60+ year-olds first\; <20 year-olds first\; uniformly by age\; and a novel contact-based strategy. The last three strategies interrupt transmission while the first targets a vulnerable group. The model shows realistic dynamics whereby case notifications\, NPI adherence\, and lockdown undergo successive waves that interact with timing of the vaccine program to determine the relative effectiveness of the four strategies. We identify a parameter regime where transmission-interrupting strategies are more effective in preventing deaths than prioritizing older age groups. We conclude that using SARS-CoV-2 vaccines to interrupt transmission may prevent more deaths than prioritizing vulnerable age groups\, depending on the time course of the pandemic in a given population.

These include the well-known Type 0 strings\, as well as a series of seven heterotic strings\, all of which are obtained by imposing unconventional GSO projections. Besides these classic examples\, relatively little is known about the full space of non-SUSY theories. One of the reasons why non-SUSY strings have remained understudied is the fact that nearly all of them have closed string tachyons\, and hence do not admit ten-dimensional flat space as a stable vacuum. The goal of this talk is two-fold. First\, using recent advances in condensed matter theory\, we will reinterpret GSO projections in terms of topological phases of matter\, thereby providing a framework for the classification of non-SUSY strings. Having done so\, we will show that for all non-SUSY theories in which a tachyon exists\, it can be condensed to give a (meta)stable lower-dimensional vacuum. In many cases\, these stable vacua will be two-dimensional string theories already known in the literature.

The case of Ernest Renan (1823-1892) is here emblematic. The lecture will survey Renan’s conception of Judaism and Islam\, through his invention of the category of “Semitic religions.” We shall reflect on its consequences on the study of monotheism among historians of religions\, as well as on the development of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in the last decades of the century.\n\nAdvance Registration Required: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/3216105505888/WN_oYvSLryURveHxXW0tu-28Q UID:80679-20775557@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/80679 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Jewish Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201211T120602 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210128T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210128T130000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:PICS Career Event.

Before he turned his attention to meteorology\, however\, Abbe was an astronomer—and he spent time at the University of Michigan\, studying astronomy under the famed astronomer Franz Brünnow and teaching physics and civil engineering. These early experiences in his professional life helped set him on a course that would lead to his establishment\, in 1869\, of a weather forecasting enterprise at the Cincinnati Observatory\, where he served as director. \n\nIn 1871\, he moved to Washington\, where he became a civilian assistant to General Albert Myer\, chief signal officer of the Army\, who had taken charge of the nation’s first weather service the year before. Abbe would lead the forecasting efforts at the nation’s newly established weather service and set the standard for scientific research in a career that would last nearly half a century. Throughout his life\, this “man of gentle and generous ways\,” guided by his abiding faith\, overcame personal and professional hardships in pursuit of science to become the most famous—and celebrated—meteorologist in America\, if not the world.\n\nDuring his talk\, Mr. Potter\, whose career in weather and communications has included work for ABC News\, and the National Weather Service\, will share stories from Abbe’s life and career\, with a focus on his time in Michigan.\n\nPlease join us!

Acquired when the brain experiences trauma like that of a stroke or head injury\, more than 2 million people in the U.S. are thought to have the disorder\; yet\, it's not something most people are aware of. It can be incredibly isolating\, which is why staying social and connected is especially important. \n\nThe University of Michigan Aphasia Program (UMAP) at the University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL)\, hosts a free\, virtual aphasia social hour each week to help facilitate social connecting while practicing communication skills. \n\nAll aphasia social hours in January are scheduled for 4 - 5 p.m. Thursdays (Eastern) and will take on the following topics: \n\n*Jan. 14 - Resolve to participate in this session all about — you guessed it — resolutions. Love them? Hate them? Have a funny story about past resolutions? Bring it on.\n\n*Jan. 21 - Hometown Proud! Share about where you’re from or where you now live! Bring maps\, photos\, and brag (or complain!) about that place where you were brought up.\n \n*Jan. 28 - For us in Michigan\, wintertime can mean hunker-time\, as in hunker down until spring. But it doesn't have to. As the Nordic people say\, \"there is no such thing as bad weather\, only poor preparation.\" We're not sure about all that\, but come ready to share how you stay active in the winter months\, either outdoors or indoors.\n\nRegistration is required in order to get the link to join.

In my research seminar I will begin by briefly discussing the work I performed with Dr. Themis Kyriakides as a PhD student at Yale - strategies to manipulate the early stages of the foreign body response (FBR) to implanted materials. I will next discuss my work as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan with Dr. Lonnie Shea. I focus on harnessing the chronic phase of the FBR\, as a tool to monitor the immune system. I use biomaterial-based immunological niches to provide insights into the phenotype of innate immune cells that control disease activity. Cells harvested from these niches exhibit differential gene expression sufficient to monitor disease dynamics and to gauge the effectiveness of treatment. I will then discuss work developing sensors for secreted proteins to non-invasively measure protein expression in vivo via luminescence and FRET. I will conclude my talk with a brief discussion of my planned research\nprogram that aims to leverage my materials and immune engineering experience to harness bio-responsive materials as translatable tools for real-time monitoring of tissue immunity.

Extravehicular Activity (EVA) will be a critical component of these missions\, necessitating advances in spacesuit technology to support elevated human performance. As crews become increasingly autonomous from an Earth-based mission control\, human-autonomy interaction and associated decision support tools will also be a critical element. This talk will discuss our research on novel spacesuit architectures and wearable sensors to minimize restricted mobility and injuries during EVA. It will also discuss our work to assess operator workload and situation awareness to enable adaptive autonomy that mitigates the impact of high-risk\, strenuous activities. While this research is focused on individuals in extreme environments\, it also has direct implications for patient populations here on Earth.\n\nAbout the speaker...\nDr. Anderson graduated in 2007 with a B.S. in Astronautics Engineering from the University of Southern California with a minor in Astronomy. She received an M.S. in Aerospace Engineering and an M.S. in Technology Policy in 2011 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)\, and a Ph.D. in Aerospace Biomedical Engineering in 2014 from MIT.

In particular\, it will underscore the contribution urban professionals made to managing—and imagining—agrarian space. Rural change and the expert knowledge required to manage the countryside opened paths for urban concepts and categories to reshape agrarian space in a process that\, among other things\, gradually made the Indian village legible to town planners. In this way\, rural space was made subject to an ensemble of institutional forms and practices grounded in emergent urban paradigms.\n\nWilliam Glover teaches modern South Asian history at the University of Michigan. His research interests include South Asian colonial and post-colonial urban and cultural history\, social theory\, and the material culture of built environments. He is the author of Making Lahore Modern: Constructing and Imagining a Colonial City (University of Minnesota Press\, 2008\; winner of the American Institute of Pakistan Studies Junior Book Award)\, and of several articles exploring the imbrication of built environments\, knowledge cultures\, and urban processes in South Asia.  Professor Glover is the former director of the University of Michigan's Center for South Asian Studies\, and former associate director of the International Institute at the University of Michigan.\n\nFree and open to the public.

Raz previously earned a Master's in chemistry from ISU with research focus on crown ether synthesis. Today he will be talking on the computation of Spin-Orbit coupling in large molecules.\n\nTalk Title and Abstract: \"Effective Calculation of Spin-Orbit Coupling in Large Molecules\" | Spin-Orbit coupling (SOC) is a relativistic quantum effect resulting from the coupling of electron spin (m{s}) with orbital angular momentum (l) that can play a role in intersystem crossings. Many large molecule catalysts behavior depend on these complex spin interactions that are prohibitively expensive to calculate using traditional methods. An additional complication in heavy atoms\, present in many catalysts\, is electron correlation which is separately calculated and similarly expensive. Development of cheap and accurate methods of determining relativistic and correlation effects in large molecules is an area of intense computational research. Proposed is a new combinatory computational method called RAS-SF-SOC (Restricted Active Space Spin Flip Spin Orbit Coupling). This method can effectively determine correlation and relativistic effects in large molecules containing many heavy atoms in reasonable computational time. \n\nJacqueline Larouche: Jacqueline is a third year PhD candidate in Dr. Carlos Aguilar's lab. Her research focuses on elucidating and correcting inter-cellular communication networks in skeletal muscle that are disrupted as a result of severe trauma or aging.\n\nTalk Title and Abstract: \"Single cell deconstruction of murine volumetric muscle loss reveals natural killer cell and neutrophil imbalances prevent muscle stem cell mediated regeneration\" | Volumetric muscle loss (VML) overwhelms the innate regenerative capacity of mammalian skeletal muscle (SkM)\, leading to numerous disabilities and reduced quality of life. Immune cells are critical responders to muscle injury and guide muscle stem cell (MuSC) mediated myogenic repair. However\, how immune cell infiltration and inter-cellular communication networks are altered following VML to drive pathological outcomes remains unclear. Thus\, we sought to characterize the cellular and molecular mechanisms driving fibrotic degeneration of SkM after VML by comparing the healing trajectories between muscle loss injuries that regenerate to those that result in fibrosis. Using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq)\, lineage-tracing mouse models\, in vitro assays\, histological analysis\, cell transplants\, and in vivo small molecule inhibition\, we elucidate new cellular and molecular players post VML. We observed that degenerative VML injuries result in persistent infiltration of inflammatory neutrophils. Cytolytic natural killer (NK) cells were also observed to accumulate in degenerative defects and interact with neutrophils via secretion of chemokine receptor type 1 (CCR1) ligands. Intramuscular NK cell transplants significantly reduced neutrophil abundance and enhanced healing rates\, while systemic delivery of a CCR1 inhibitor exacerbated neutrophil accumulation. As a consequence of exacerbated neutrophils in degenerative injuries\, we observed reductions in MuSC myogenic capacity. The reductions in regenerative potential of MuSCs were also impacted by overexpression of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF1) and local inhibition of TGF1 signaling reduced neutrophil populations and improved tissue morphology. Together\, these findings enhance our understanding of immune cell-stem cell communication dynamics governing muscle healing outcomes. This work provides a valuable resource for further exploration into mechanisms driving VML-induced fibrosis and may help elucidate drivers of fibrosis and chronic inflammation in other pathologies.

Writing with dry humor and deftly controlled prose in both Spanish and English\, she often wrestles with the complexity of translation and draws from an unusually broad range of Latin American\, American\, and European literary traditions.\n\nLuiselli’s novel *La historia de mis dientes* (2014)\, translated into English as The *Story of My Teeth* (2015)\, chronicles the adventures of an auctioneer and teller of tall tales named Gustavo “Highway” Sánchez Sánchez while experimenting with alternative modes of literary production. The project originated as a commission from the art gallery of the Mexican juice corporation Grupo Jumex. Luiselli engaged the workers in the Jumex factory as collaborators in the writing process\, sharing installments of the work in progress with them and incorporating their reactions into the novel’s chapters. Her most recent books synthesize the formal inventiveness of her earlier work with her experiences as a court interpreter for unaccompanied child migrants caught in the labyrinth of U.S. immigration policy. In the nonfiction work *Tell Me How It Ends: An Essay in Forty Questions* (2017)\, she demonstrates the impossibility of giving coherent\, narrative form to the harrowing and fragmented statements that the immigration intake questionnaire elicits from children facing deportation. These stories\, her attempts to document them\, and the ethical dilemmas these efforts pose also figure prominently in her novel *Lost Children Archive* (2019). The novel is a fictionalized account of her own family’s road trip from New York to the U.S.-Mexico borderlands\, with stories of the unfolding Central American migration crisis nested into the narrative through radio news reports\, phone calls to a friend whose daughters are missing\, and a novel-within-the-novel that the mother reads aloud about children making their way to an unnamed land. Rather than dividing the work into chapters\, Luiselli organizes it around archival “boxes” of materials—audio recordings\, texts\, maps\, and photographs—that her protagonists collect and reference throughout their journey.\n\nAs she forges new forms of writing that interweave multiple voices—those of other writers\, readers\, translators\, and the children she interviews—Luiselli is posing profound questions about the various ways we piece together stories and pass them on to subsequent generations.\n\nThe Zell Visiting Writers Series brings outstanding writers to campus each semester. The Series is made possible through a generous gift from U-M alumna Helen Zell (BA ’64\, LLDHon ’13).

This privacy definition\, however\, has some well-known weaknesses: notably\, it does not tightly handle composition. In this talk\, we propose a relaxation of DP that we term \"f-DP\"\, which has a number of appealing properties and avoids some of the difficulties associated with prior relaxations. First\, f-DP preserves the hypothesis testing interpretation of differential privacy\, which makes its guarantees easily interpretable. It allows for lossless reasoning about composition and post-processing\, and notably\, a direct way to analyze privacy amplification by subsampling. We define a canonical single-parameter family of definitions within our class that is termed \"Gaussian Differential Privacy\"\, based on hypothesis testing of two shifted normal distributions. We prove that this family is focal to f-DP by introducing a central limit theorem\, which shows that the privacy guarantees of any hypothesis-testing based definition of privacy (including differential privacy) converge to Gaussian differential privacy in the limit under composition. This central limit theorem also gives a tractable analysis tool. We demonstrate the use of the tools we develop by giving an improved analysis of the privacy guarantees of noisy stochastic gradient descent. \n\nThis is joint work with Jinshuo Dong and Aaron Roth.\n\nhttp://www-stat.wharton.upenn.edu/~suw/\n\nThis seminar will be livestreamed via Zoom https://umich.zoom.us/j/94350208889\nThere will be a virtual reception to follow UID:80541-20738138@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/80541 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201029T112416 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210129T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210129T120000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Test for Virtual Information DESCRIPTION:Test Details UID:78482-20207871@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78482 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201229T101409 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210129T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210129T110000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:The History of the Stars: An Introduction to Early Astronomy DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Library holds an extraordinary collection of manuscripts and early printed books describing the early history of astronomy.

Recent research has challenged the long-standing “fluid mosaic model\,” representing membranes as densely packed\, heterogeneous environments. Within these complex membranes are transmembrane proteins which comprise up to 50% of the membrane mass\, and are themselves diverse in sequence\, structure\, and function. Combining two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy (2D IR) and molecular dynamics simulations (MD)\, we have explored membrane complexity from two perspectives: first\, we address the sequence heterogeneity in transmembrane peptides\; and second\, we explore the effect this crowded environment has on the lipids themselves and the implications this has on future membrane studies.\n\nSite-specific 2D IR has been used to directly study localized hydration effects in a lipid membrane upon insertion of pH (Low) Insertion Peptide (pHLIP)\, a model membrane peptide. Semi-quantitative results indicate enhanced water penetration in the membrane core concurrent with peptide insertion\, suggesting the abundance of hydrophilic residues in the pHLIP sequence drives membrane hydration. Further\, crowding experiments have probed ultrafast dynamics at the lipid-water interface of model membranes as a function of transmembrane peptide concentration\, revealing a non-monotonic dependence on peptide concentration linked to interfacial water structure.\n\nZoom link: https://umich.zoom.us/j/99088330811 UID:81244-20877916@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81244 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biophysics,Biosciences,Research,seminar,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210108T170044 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210129T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210129T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Lecture Series. The Spirit Ambulance: Choreographing the End of Life in Thailand DESCRIPTION:Free event\; register at https://bit.ly/39sKIiE\n\nFrom his recently released book\, *The Spirit Ambulance*\, Dr. Stonington will share stories from the deathbeds of Thai elders: their children’s attempts to pay back their “debts of life” via intensive medical care\, and the ensuing “spirit ambulance\,” a rush to get patients home from the ghost-infested hospital to orchestrate their final breath in a spiritually advantageous place. Out of these stories\, Dr. Stonington will abstract outward from Thailand to Southeast Asia and the globe to examine the effects high-tech medicine on vital life transitions.\n \nScott Stonington is an anthropologist and physician. His primary appointment at U-M is in Anthropology and International Studies. He also practices hospitalist medicine at the VA Ann Arbor and primary care at Neighborhood Family Health Center in Ypsilanti. He has published on end of life and pain management in Thailand\, Buddhism and the body\, and the roles of improvisation and emotion in medical expertise in the U.S. He is also lead editor of the *New England Journal of Medicine*'s \"Case Studies in Social Medicine.\"\n \nStonington’s new book is a great read for anyone interested in the global dynamics of healthcare and biomedicine\, globalization\, rapidly expanding technology\, comparing cultures and systems of meaning\, and the way global forces act upon the lives of individuals worldwide.

We show here that the pars intercerebralis (PI)\, previously identified as a target of the morning cells in the clock network\, also receives input from evening cells. We determined that morning and evening clock neurons have time of day dependent connectivity to the PI\, which is regulated by specific peptides as well as by fast neurotransmitters. Interestingly\, PI cells that secrete the peptide DH44\, and control rest:activity rhythms\, are inhibited by clock inputs while insulin-producing cells (IPCs) are activated\, indicating that the same clock cells can use different mechanisms to drive cycling in output neurons. Inputs of morning cells to IPCs are relevant for the circadian rhythm of feeding\, reinforcing the role of the PI as a circadian relay that controls multiple behavioral outputs. Our findings provide mechanisms by which clock neurons signal to non-clock cells to drive rhythms of behavior.

His magisterial survey of the construction of archetypical images of the country and the city in English literature in the context of the shift from agrarian capitalism to the industrial metropolis has justly acquired canonical status. The book’s analysis of how these images obscured the actual historical and social relations that shaped them continues to remain relevant today.

These common methodologies require a stable prototype environment that is difficult to build in our platform and does not allow for the accurate measurement of the algorithm change. To address our specific use case\, we designed an experiment-based framework that allows us to rapidly iterate our algorithms and accurately measures the impact of every algorithm change.\n\nBio:\nSifeng Lin works as operations research scientist in DoorDash. In this role\, he combines operations research and software engineering to solve the real-time dispatching problem\, as well as tackling challenging optimization problems in other frontier of DoorDash business. He has a PhD in Operations Research from the University of Texas at Austin and previously worked as a Sr. operations research specialist in BNSF Railway.

The application of stable isotope analyses\, however\, is not without limitations\, as determination of food web dynamics using these methods often relies on poorly tested assumptions. On the other hand\, estimation of geographic ranges of extinct organisms is usually addressed through biological and geological proxies separately leading many times to conflicting results. The structure of this talk is twofold. First\, I will show my work testing some foundational cornerstones on which stable isotope ecology methods rely\, in order to validate the suitability of applying these techniques to different mammalian clades\, and to more reliably interpret the isotopic signals preserved in extinct organisms. Specifically\, I will show the lack of validity of an important assumption behind the interpretation of stable carbon isotope analyses for understanding diets in terrestrial mammalian herbivores. Furthermore\, the results of my studies on Amazonian mammals challenge the existing paradigm governing identification of closed canopy rainforests in the fossil record using mammalian d13C data. Second\, using fossil sloths as a case study\, I will show my ongoing research trying to reconcile Caribbean paleogeography with the evolutionary history of sloths and other mammals in the region. This new phylogeny time-stratified-based approach aims to explain the origin and colonization routes of sloths in the Caribbean and the potential role of abiotic variables (e.g.\, land area over time) in the diversification dynamics of this group of mammals.

While there is growing interest in using neuroimaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging to examine the development of skilled motor performance\, the current literature faces several limitations. The present study aims to address such shortcomings by combining non-invasive brain stimulation with a fine-grained neuroimaging analysis of spatially distributed patterns of brain activity after six weeks of training on a motor sequencing task. Our pilot results show that over the course of training\, participants markedly speed up sequence execution. While disruption of both the dorsolateral prefrontal and the primary motor cortex produce deficits at all levels of expertise\, we find evidence of a double dissociation as a function of expertise. We also validate the utility of Representational Similarity Analysis in detecting the spatial patterns of brain activity associated with different motor sequences. This allows us to test hypotheses about how the strength of sequence encoding varies across the brain over the development of motor expertise.\n\nNatasha Vernooij\n\nTitle: \nIncongruent cambios de código: Code switching when grammars do not align\n\nAbstract:\nA code switch is when a speaker switches from one language to another\, and these switches can either be congruent or incongruent. For congruent code switches\, the syntax of the two languages is the same. For incongruent code switches\, the syntax of the two languages is different. When the syntaxes for a phrase are equivalent in two languages\, then the bilingual stores a single\, language independent\, grammatical ‘unit’ for that phrase in their mental grammar (Hartsuiker and Pickering\, 2008\; Kootstra\, van Hell\, & Dijkstra\, 2012). Similarly\, bilinguals make language independent predictions about an upcoming syntactic category for congruent code switches (de los Santos\, Boland\, & Lewis\, 2019). However\, few studies have investigated how bilinguals code switch when their two grammars do not align. The current experiments investigate congruent and incongruent code switches to determine what factors facilitate incongruent code switching and if any existing code switching hypothesis can account for incongruent code switches.

It explores themes of alternative histories\, archives\, Black identity\, collective memory\, storytelling\; meshing performance and performativity\, and the interplay of the oral and aural in one’s experience of the world. An undercurrent of movement explored in multiple variations thread the works together\, realized through a variety of methods including painterly gesture\, repetitive mark-making\, performance with an audience or without\, spoken word\, ambient sound\, and reimagined instruments. The exhibition aspires to pull at the loosened threads of a social fabric in crisis\, revealing larger complex histories and art discourses\, nationally and internationally\, framed through the experiences and trajectories of Stamps alumni during their time in Ann Arbor\, Michigan.

The two will discuss Reconstruction\, the all-too-brief period following the Civil War when the United States made its first effort to become an interracial democracy. The period saw the Constitution rewritten to incorporate the ideal of racial equality\, but ended as a result of a violent backlash that erased many of the gains that had been made\, with consequences we still confront as a nation. The program will also preview Gates'\; most recent project\, The Black Church\, which will premiere on PBS in February.\n\nHenry Louis Gates\, Jr. is the Alphonse Fletcher University Professor and Director of the Hutchins Center for African & African American Research at Harvard University.
