For instructions\, please email cmenas@umich.edu with the subject “Request to watch ‘Stray'”\n \nAbout the film:\nThrough the eyes of three stray dogs wandering the streets of Istanbul\, STRAY explores what it means to live as a being without status or security. As they search for food and shelter\, Zeytin\, Nazar and Kartal embark on inconspicuous journeys through Turkish society that allow us an unvarnished portrait of human life — and their own canine culture.\n \nZeytin\, fiercely independent\, embarks on solitary adventures through the city at night\; Nazar\, nurturing and protective\, easily befriends the humans around her\; while Kartal\, a shy puppy living on the outskirts of a construction site\, finds refuge with the security guards who care for her. The disparate lives of Zeytin\, Nazar and Kartal intersect when they each form intimate bonds with a group of young Syrians who share the streets with them.\n \nWhether they lead us into bustling streets or decrepit ruins\, the gaze of these strays act as windows into the overlooked corners of society: women in loveless marriages\, protesters without arms\, refugees without sanctuary. The film is a critical observation of human civilization through the unfamiliar gaze of dogs and a sensory voyage into new ways of seeing.\n\nCo-sponsor: Michigan Theatre UID:82750-21171588@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82750 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:center for middle eastern and north african studies,cmenas,Film,Middle East Studies,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210225T101133 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210311T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210311T200000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:CMENAS Virtual Viewing: You Will Die at Twenty DESCRIPTION:For a limited time\, we are sponsoring free access to this film's virtual viewing. For instructions\, please email cmenas@umich.edu with the subject “Request to watch ‘You Will Die at Twenty'”\n \n About the movie:\n NYTimes Critics Pick! Winner of the Lion of the Future Award for best Debut Feature at the Venice Film Festival\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is visually sumptuous “coming-of-death” fable. During her son’s naming ceremony\, a Sheikh predicts that Sakina’s child will die at the age of 20. Haunted by this prophecy\, Sakina becomes overly protective of her son Muzamil\, who grows up knowing about his fate. As Muzamil escapes Sakina’s ever-watchful eye\, he encounters friends\, ideas and challenges that make him question his destiny. Sudan’s first Oscar submission\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is an auspicious debut and a moving meditation on what it means to live in the present.\n\nCo-sponsor: Michigan Theatre UID:82514-21114084@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82514 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:center for middle eastern and north african studies,Film,Middle East Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210217T133137 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210311T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210311T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:For Your Eyes Only DESCRIPTION:Please Note: This exhibition is designed to be viewed through the gallery window on Thayer St.\n\nYasmine Nasser Diaz is the 2021 Efroymson Emerging Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.\n\nFor Your Eyes Only is the latest iteration of multidisciplinary artist Yasmine Nasser Diaz’s bedroom installation. At first glance\, the constructed space is a shimmering homage to the bedroom disco—a sanctuary for uninhibited dance and self-expression. It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media\, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some\, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous\, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled\, scrutinized\, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region. The images demonstrate the fluctuating attitudes and regulations impacting human rights and freedoms based on gender\, and exemplify how—whether we are physically at a protest or sharing our physicality in virtual spaces—our bodies are engaged in some level of risk.\n*Southwest Asian/North African\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

Urban flora and fauna experience a suite of novel disturbances and stressors that have led to remarkable phenotypic strategies and adaptations to cope with urban living. Despite recent groundbreaking discoveries and innovation in the fields of urban ecology and evolution\, the drivers of urban heterogeneity that induce biological change are seldom articulated. The spatiotemporal distributions of urban organisms are directly affected by the uneven distribution of resources (e.g.\, refugia\, food\, water) across cities\, all of which are connected to societal function and governance. Hence\, to build a comprehensive understanding of urban systems and wildlife adaptation\, we must integrate and reconcile how structural inequality – especially racism and classism – shape urban environmental mosaics. In this seminar talk\, Dr. Chris Schell will discuss how structural and systemic inequalities\, especially economic and racial inequality\, shape ecological and evolutionary outcomes of wildlife. In doing so\, he will discuss how leading with an environmental justice and activism framework in the natural sciences can promote conversation\, sustainability\, and resilience in a human-dominated world.\nJoin us on Zoom UID:80094-20556871@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/80094 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Research,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210129T104541 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210311T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210311T161500 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Listening Circles DESCRIPTION:Listening Circles are new and free for U-M undergraduates and graduate students! \n\nIn this time of COVID-19\, many students feel isolated and yearn for deeper connections.\n\nListening Circles can help create space for students to share experiences and feelings\, create connections\, and look to the future. \n\nThe goal of a listening circle is to create space for shared emotional connection about the impact of pressing issues\, such as racism and the pandemic.

U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nTitle:\nImportance Sampling with Stochastic Computer Models: From Theory to Practice\n\nAbstract:\nImportance sampling has been widely used to improve the efficiency of deterministic computer simulations where the simulation output is uniquely determined\, given a fixed input. To represent complex system behavior more realistically\, however\, stochastic computer models are gaining popularity. Unlike deterministic computer simulations\, stochastic simulations produce different outputs even at the same input. This extra degree of stochasticity presents a challenge in analyzing engineering system performance. Our study tackles this challenge by addressing two problems. First\, we derive the optimal importance sampling density and allocation procedure that minimize the variance of an estimator. Second\, we present a non-parametric approach to approximate the optimal importance sampling density with a multivariate input vector when each factor’s contribution is different. The application of our method to a computationally intensive\, aeroelastic wind turbine simulator demonstrates the benefits of the proposed approaches.\n\nBio:\nEunshin Byon is an Associate Professor in the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, USA.

Spencer Lecture: Dr. Jack Kaye DESCRIPTION:The Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering department is very pleased to welcome Dr. Jack Kaye of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as our 2021 Spencer Lecturer. \n\nDr. Kaye is Associate Director for Research of the Earth Science Division (ESD) in NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD). \n\n\"From Alphabet Soup to Gourmet Cuisine - My 30+ Years of Interagency and International Coordination in Earth System Science\"\n \nThe Earth is a complicated system that is driven by a mix of naturally-occurring and human-induced forcings\, and its study requires a variety of integrated approaches addressing multiple Earth system components (atmosphere\, hydrosphere\, cryosphere\, biosphere\, lithosphere) and the processes that couple them\, now combined into the overall subject of Earth System Science. Besides being simply an object of scientific study\, Earth is also our collective home\, and its response to natural and human change affects the lives of today’s and tomorrow’s global citizens\, making Earth System Science a rich subject for both scientific research and for the application of the results of that research to policy and decision making. The scope and breadth of the topic makes the topic too big to be addressed fully by any one organization\, so coordination across organizations\, both domestically and internationally\, becomes a key consideration in our respective efforts. The resulting coordination affects all aspects\, including observations (from space\, air\, and surface)\, modeling\, process research\, assessment\, and applications. In the US\, this has meant interagency coordination\, both bilateral and multilateral\, while internationally\, the coordination has also involved bilateral and multilateral relationships\, the latter including those that are both government-driven and community-driven. In this talk\, my experience in interagency and international coordination will be reviewed\, along with some highlights\, lessons learned\, and thoughts about the future. Interagency examples will include the US Global Change Research Program and its National Climate Assessment\, the Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorology and the National Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellite System\, while international examples will include the World Climate Research Program\, the World Meteorological Organization\, and bilateral cooperation with several international partners on Space Shuttle and Satellite programs.\n\nPlease join us!\n\nContact: Laura Hopkins\, lhopkins@umich.edu UID:80426-20719761@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/80426 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210326T123048 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210311T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210311T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Madison Square Garden Presents: Student Associate Panel & Networking DESCRIPTION:There's no better way to learn about our Student Associate Program at Madison Square Garden than hearing directly from our current Student Associates!\n\nJoin us to get to know various experiences within the Student Associate Program and uncover the truth about what it's like to be aStudent Associate\, the types of projects / opportunities presented\, thesocial and professional development events\, and tips for how to be successful within the recruitment process and program itself.

She became fascinated by how complicated developmental systems are\, and joined the Wittkopp lab at U-M for her PhD to investigate one mechanism of complicating developmental systems: gene duplication.\n\n\"REGULATORY DIVERGENCE OF DUPLICATED GENES\": Gene duplication has long been studied as a mechanism of evolution at the genetic level. Duplicated genes introduce redundant protein-coding sequence\, allowing duplicates to acquire novel functions while preserving existing functions. Gene duplication\, however\, also provides a substrate for non-protein coding\, regulatory sequence evolution. Genes are duplicated with varying levels of their native regulatory sequence intact. This prompts the question: how does the degree to which duplication preserves native regulatory sequence affect future evolutionary paths? Here\, I investigate this question by comparing the expression profiles of duplicate genes across many environments in two diverging species of yeast.\n\nAGNIT MUKHOPADHYAY: Agnit is a NASA Earth & Space Sciences Fellow at the Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering department at the University of Michigan\, with a background in Aerospace Engineering. He is co-advised by Drs. Michael Liemohn and Daniel Welling to quantify the nonlinear coupling between the Earth’s atmosphere and it’s near-plasma environment. He loves working with numerical models to assess and predict the impact of extreme natural events on life and technology.\n\n\"QUANTIFYING THE IMPACT OF THE AURORA ON SPACE WEATHER\": Conjuring a captivating vista of a colourful nightsky\, the aurora borealis (Northern Lights) and australis (Southern Lights) are a byproduct of upper atmospheric ionization by charged particles (plasma) of solar origin. The near-constant drizzling of auroral plasma particles from outer space are excellent drivers of space weather activity caused by solar disruptions like flares and coronal mass ejections that can adversely affect man-made technology like GPS satellites\, electrical power grids and oil pipelines. Using a combination of physics-based models\, data regression tools\, in-situ satellite and ground-based telemetry\, we figure out what forms and drives the aurora\, how these drivers modify the aurora’s electro-chemical atmospheric modification\, and how this system could be predicted during extreme natural events.\n\nRegister to receive the Zoom information for this event: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwlceutrDIuEtLOgDS3ETaDjFmeDUT9hNU6 UID:82557-21116106@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82557 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Computational Science,Ecology,Evolutionary Biology,Scientific Computing LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210326T123046 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210311T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210311T173000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Ascension Michigan GN/RN Virtual Informational Event DESCRIPTION:Ascension Michigan provides professional development support to help new grads and experienced nurses like you thrive.

For example\, volumetric muscle loss (VML) injuries are characterized by a degree of composite muscle tissue loss so severe\, that it exceeds the native ability of the muscle to repair\, thereby resulting in permanent cosmetic and functional deficits to the limbs\, neck\, or face. These injuries significantly impact both the civilian and military populations. Current treatment for VML injury involves surgical muscle transfer\, although these procedures are often associated with both poor engraftment and donor site morbidity\, as well as incomplete cosmesis and functional recovery. Not surprisingly\, this unmet medical need has stimulated research efforts to develop new technologies for treatment of VML injuries. Recent attention has focused on development of tissue engineering (TE)/regenerative medicine (RM) technologies to provide more effective treatment options for large scale muscle injuries. A variety of preclinical approaches have been tried that include implantation of synthetic and/or natural extracellular matrices/scaffolds/constructs at the site of VML injury\, both with and without a cellular component. Extant data indicate that the inclusion of a cellular component generally leads to a greater degree of functional improvement. Consistent with these preclinical results\, recent clinical studies for treatment of VML injury\, solely with implanted decellularized extracellular matrix scaffolds\, have provided evidence for modest functional recovery but with little de novo muscle tissue regeneration at the injury site. More recently\, bio-printed tissue engineered constructs and their potential applications to treatment of VML injury have been reported in the literature. While these initial clinical and preclinical observations are encouraging for the TE/RM paradigm\, full structural and functional recovery has yet to be achieved\, and thus\, there remains significant room for therapeutic advancement. To this end\, I will describe our highly collaborative efforts to boost development and evaluation of a range of implantable regenerative therapeutics (biomaterials and tissue engineered constructs) in biologically relevant animal models. The overall goal is to increase the efficiency of clinical translation of TE/RM technologies capable of more complete functional recovery following repair of VML injury.\n\nZOOM LINK: https://umich.zoom.us/j/94405051853 UID:81389-20889819@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81389 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Natural Sciences,Science,Basic Science,Biointerfaces,Biology,biomedical,biomedical engineering,Bioninterfaces,Biosciences,Biotechnology,bme,engineer,engineering,Life Science,Medicine,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210305T123547 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210311T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210311T171500 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Chair's Distinguished Lecture: Ultralight Coilable Structures for the Space Solar Power Project DESCRIPTION:Sergio Pellegrino\nProfessor of Aerospace and Civil Engineering\nJet Propulsion Laboratory Senior Research Scientist\nCo-Director\, Space-Based Solar Power Project\nCalifornia Institute of Technology\n\nIn 1968\, Peter Glaser envisaged kilometer-scale space systems comprising solar collectors and transmitting antennas that would beam power to the earth from geostationary orbit\, but for many years that dream remained elusive. In this talk\, I will discuss the Caltech Space Solar Power Project’s pursuit to conceive\, design\, and demonstrate a scalable vision for a constellation of ultralight\, modular spacecraft that collect sunlight\, transform it into electrical power\, and wirelessly beam electricity to the earth. The basic module of these future solar power systems is a scalable plate-like square spacecraft that can be tightly coiled for launch and reliably deployed in space. Its structural concept combines origami packaging techniques and coilable shell structures built from ultrathin composite laminates that support photovoltaic and antenna elements. I will present our research on the packaging\, deployment and stability of these structures of unprecedented lightness. I will conclude by showing proof-of-concept physical models for an upcoming demonstration in space. \n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nSergio Pellegrino is the Joyce and Kent Kresa Professor of Aerospace and Civil Engineering at the California Institute of Technology\, JPL Senior Research Scientist and Co-Director of the Space Solar Power Project. Pellegrino’s general area of research is the mechanics of lightweight structures\, focusing on packaging\, deployment\, shape control and stability. He has authored over 300 technical publications on these topics\, including the recently published book Forms and Concepts for Lightweight Structures\, co-authored with Koryo Miura. Pellegrino is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering\, a Fellow of AIAA and a Chartered Structural Engineer. He is currently President of the International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures and Chairman of the Aerospace Historical Society.

Drawing on his experiences as the son of a Black mother and an Irish-American father\, Johnson offers readers and audiences a nuanced\, challenging view on what it means to be a person of color in America throughout history and today.\n\nSince the publication of his first novel\, *Drop*\, in 2000\, Johnson has established a reputation as a forward-thinking writer with a unique\, imaginative perspective on American social norms\, which he explores through characters that toe the line between outlandish and instantly recognizable. His follow-up novel\, the gentrification satire *Hunting In Harlem*\, was highly acclaimed and received the Zora Neale Hurston/Richard Wright Legacy Award for Novel of the Year.\n\nJohnson’s satirical novel\,* Pym*\, a brilliant reimagining of a famously enigmatic Edgar Allen Poe story\, was named one of the best books of the year by *The Washington Post\, Vanity Fair\, The Seattle Times\, the Houston Chronicle*\, and more. *Loving Day*\, his 2016 novel\, is a hilarious yet moving story about race\, family\, and opposites bound in love. Hailed as “Exceptional…To say that *Loving Day* is a book about race is like saying Moby-Dick is a book about whales\,” by *the Los Angeles Times*\, *Loving Day* was a *New York Times* Notable Book and named one of the best books of the year by *the San Francisco Chronicle*\, NPR\, *Men’s Journal*\, and more. Both *Pym* and *Loving Day* (one of *The New York Times’* 100 Notable Books of 2015) are popular choices for common reading experiences across campuses nationwide. Johnson has also brought his sensibility to comics and graphic novels\, most notably in *Incognegro*\, which combines graphic storytelling\, noir mystery\, and meticulously-researched history to explore issues of passing in a segregated society and America’s history of lynching.\n\nIn lectures that explore race\, identity\, and the writing process\, Johnson unravels the themes that run through his work with humor\, scholarship\, and insight. He has received the Dos Passos Prize for Literature and was the first person to be named a James Baldwin Fellow. Johnson is a professor at University of Oregon’s Creative Writing Program and English Department.\n\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).

The migration of jazz musicians to Detroit in the 1920s and 1930s caused the area to develop its own thriving music scene. By the 1960s\, the area became known for the first black owned record label\, Motown. Today\, the name \"Motown\" is synonymous with funk and soul music.\n\nDetroit was home to some of the most important events of the 1960s and 1970s Civil Rights Movement. Consequently\, jazz musicians in Detroit have witnessed music's role in shaping race relations within the city and across the United States.\n\nJoin us for this lecture and discussion\, where Marion Hayden will tell of her experiences as a bassist in Detroit. With her deep knowledge of the city's musical history\, learn how Motown and jazz were musical vanguards in altering to the social landscape of Detroit\, Michigan\, and the United States.\n\n\n>> About Marion\n\nBorn in Detroit\, MI\, a crucible of jazz\, Marion Hayden is one of the nation’s finest proponents of the acoustic bass.

In 2016 Hayden was honored for her work as a performer and educator with the prestigious Kresge Artist Fellowship- a 1 year fellowship and grant award given an elite group of creative artists. She was the recipient of a 2016 Jazz Hero Award.- a national award given by the Jazz Journalists Association- recognizing people who have made a significant contribution through their artistry and community engagement.\n\nAs an arts advocate\, Hayden has served as Grant Panelist for the Detroit Council for the Arts and Cultural Affairs\, Michigan Council for the Arts and Cultural Affairs\, Art-Ops and the Highland Park Cultural Commission.

The informal music education here is both thorough and rigorous and includes arranging\, composing and production. The mentoring I received from the men and women in this music community was critical to my development as a creative artist. It instilled in me a sense of deep reverence and respect for music traditions\, but also a fearlessness and openness about bringing those traditions forward in an original and authentic way. I express this creative openness through the projects and collaborations I engage in.” UID:82790-21179559@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82790 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:African American,arts at michigan,detroit,Free,History,Lifelong Learning,Music,performance,social justice LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210305T133906 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210311T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210311T190000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Program in Biology and Undergraduate Program in Neuroscience Majors Panel DESCRIPTION:Come meet representatives from the Program in Biology and Undergraduate Program in Neuroscience.

In 2011\, the “3.11 Great East Japan Disaster” — a cascade of a M9.0 earthquake\, massive tsunamis\, and a nuclear accident — struck Japan\, which at that time ranked just 98th of the 135 countries on the Gender Gap Index (121th of the 153 countries in 2020). Now 10 years after 3.11\, panelists will discuss the disaster’s effects on women through their own experience and grassroots activism\, illuminating ways in which structures and norms of Japanese society contributed to women’s increased vulnerability in this time of crisis. They will provide invaluable first-hand accounts of how women in Japan organized and exposed post-disaster gender-based violence\, advocated for more gender-informed disaster policies and response\, shattered societal indifference and denial\, and created change.\n\n Teruko Karikome\n Ms. Teruko Karikome is a founder and former Executive Director (2007~2019) of NPO Women’s Space Fukushima\, Inc.

As they search for food and shelter\, Zeytin\, Nazar and Kartal embark on inconspicuous journeys through Turkish society that allow us an unvarnished portrait of human life — and their own canine culture.\n \nZeytin\, fiercely independent\, embarks on solitary adventures through the city at night\; Nazar\, nurturing and protective\, easily befriends the humans around her\; while Kartal\, a shy puppy living on the outskirts of a construction site\, finds refuge with the security guards who care for her. The disparate lives of Zeytin\, Nazar and Kartal intersect when they each form intimate bonds with a group of young Syrians who share the streets with them.\n \nWhether they lead us into bustling streets or decrepit ruins\, the gaze of these strays act as windows into the overlooked corners of society: women in loveless marriages\, protesters without arms\, refugees without sanctuary. The film is a critical observation of human civilization through the unfamiliar gaze of dogs and a sensory voyage into new ways of seeing.\n\nCo-sponsor: Michigan Theatre UID:82750-21171589@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82750 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:center for middle eastern and north african studies,cmenas,Film,Middle East Studies,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210225T101133 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210312T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210312T200000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:CMENAS Virtual Viewing: You Will Die at Twenty DESCRIPTION:For a limited time\, we are sponsoring free access to this film's virtual viewing.

It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media\, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some\, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous\, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled\, scrutinized\, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region.

Women have also made marked gains in education relative to men\, with the gender gap in college education reversing in favor of women since the early 1990s. In this paper\, we examine the contribution of automation to both these phenomena. Specifically\, we analyze the effects of automation on the occupational structure of men and women and overall occupational segregation as well as gender differences in skill investments. We start by documenting two facts: (1) in 1980\, women were much more likely than men to be in occupations with a high risk of automation\, and (2) the cross-occupational relationship between risk of automation in 1980 and the change in worker share between 1980 and 2017\, though negative for both genders\, is much steeper for women. Taken together\, these two facts suggest that women were more likely to be displaced by automation. \n\n* To join the seminar\, please contact at econ.events@umich.edu UID:81201-20872027@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81201 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210122T103843 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210312T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210312T200000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Graduate English Welcome Week for MFA Prospective Students DESCRIPTION:Welcome Week Events for MFA Prospective Students UID:81081-20846541@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81081 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:English Language & Literataure LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201022T113424 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210312T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210312T170000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:MFA Welcome Weekend DESCRIPTION:MFA Virtual Welcome Weekend for Prospective Students.

These sources are generally used to examine US imperialism in Asia-Pacific\, often glossing over the fact that the American period in the Philippines also led to the flourishing of Filipino literature in Spanish as a nationalist response. In this second installment of our Mellon-funded Sawyer Seminars\, we shall analyze the archive as a site of translation and historical memory as a multilingual construct\, focusing specifically on Hispanofilipino texts in the libraries of the University of Michigan and the broader Midwest. Translation here means two things. Since Spanish has never been spoken widely in the Philippines despite three centuries of colonial rule\, translation may refer to the rendering of texts in another language supposedly understood by a majority of local readers. But given the limitations in how archival data is stored in the Philippines\, translation may also refer to the movement of the archival sources themselves\, whether physically or digitally\, thus reclaiming them as objects of cultural memory. How has translation contributed to a monolingualized commemoration of multilingual pasts? What are the stakes of reconstructing a nation’s history through texts written in colonial languages? In which ways can translation help in recuperating a peripheral literary tradition in Spanish?

Under this widespread system\, the State appoints notaries and grants them exclusive rights to certify important economic transactions\, including real estate\, business registrations\, and marriage and inheritance contracts. We develop an empirical framework to uncover the current policy goals behind the entry and price restrictions. We estimate a spatial demand model to infer the extent of market expansion versus business stealing from entry\; a multi-output production model to infer the size of scale economies and markups\; and an entry model to infer the State’s objective function (conditional on the regulated prices). We subsequently perform policy counterfactuals with welfare-maximizing and free entry. We show how policy reform would generate considerable efficiency increases\, and decrease the cost of the services to consumers.\n\n* To join the seminar\, please contact at econ.events@umich.edu UID:81743-20949399@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81743 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201118T165938 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210312T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210312T110000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Craft Lecture: Race\, Identity\, and the Creative Process DESCRIPTION:Login here (no pre-registration needed): https://tinyurl.com/ZellWriters\n\nMat Johnson has explored the complexities of American racial identity through satire\, historical fiction\, and graphic novels. Drawing on his experiences as the son of a Black mother and an Irish-American father\, Johnson offers readers and audiences a nuanced\, challenging view on what it means to be a person of color in America throughout history and today.\n\nSince the publication of his first novel\, *Drop*\, in 2000\, Johnson has established a reputation as a forward-thinking writer with a unique\, imaginative perspective on American social norms\, which he explores through characters that toe the line between outlandish and instantly recognizable. His follow-up novel\, the gentrification satire *Hunting In Harlem*\, was highly acclaimed and received the Zora Neale Hurston/Richard Wright Legacy Award for Novel of the Year.\n\nJohnson’s satirical novel\,* Pym*\, a brilliant reimagining of a famously enigmatic Edgar Allen Poe story\, was named one of the best books of the year by *The Washington Post\, Vanity Fair\, The Seattle Times\, the Houston Chronicle*\, and more. *Loving Day*\, his 2016 novel\, is a hilarious yet moving story about race\, family\, and opposites bound in love. Hailed as “Exceptional…To say that *Loving Day* is a book about race is like saying Moby-Dick is a book about whales\,” by *the Los Angeles Times*\, *Loving Day* was a *New York Times* Notable Book and named one of the best books of the year by *the San Francisco Chronicle*\, NPR\, *Men’s Journal*\, and more. Both *Pym* and *Loving Day* (one of *The New York Times’* 100 Notable Books of 2015) are popular choices for common reading experiences across campuses nationwide. Johnson has also brought his sensibility to comics and graphic novels\, most notably in *Incognegro*\, which combines graphic storytelling\, noir mystery\, and meticulously-researched history to explore issues of passing in a segregated society and America’s history of lynching.\n\nIn lectures that explore race\, identity\, and the writing process\, Johnson unravels the themes that run through his work with humor\, scholarship\, and insight. He has received the Dos Passos Prize for Literature and was the first person to be named a James Baldwin Fellow. Johnson is a professor at University of Oregon’s Creative Writing Program and English Department.\n\n\nThe Zell Visiting Writers Series brings outstanding writers to campus each semester.

First\, I will introduce the sequentially Markov coalescent (SMC)\, which is an important class of methods for approximating the likelihood of DNA sequence data under realistic models of evolution. Examples of the types of questions we can address using SMC include: When did humans migrate out of Africa? How did polar bears fare during the last global warming event? Why did Neanderthals disappear? We derive new Bayesian and frequentist inference procedures for SMC that are faster and have less bias than existing methods. The key new insight is to establish connections between SMC and certain well-studied models in changepoint detection. In the second portion of the talk\, I will discuss a new\, model-based procedure we have developed for detecting signatures of natural selection in genetic data. Our estimator is adept at discovering instances of directional and balancing selection in the human genome\, and has a concrete interpretation in terms of gene tree imbalance. Finally\, time permitting\, I will share some early results on using these and other methods to study SARS-CoV-2 biology and the ongoing global pandemic.\n\nThis seminar will be livestreamed via Zoom https://umich.zoom.us/j/94350208889 There will be a virtual reception to follow\n\nhttp://www-personal.umich.edu/~jonth/ UID:80567-20740180@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/80567 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210222T140325 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210312T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210312T110000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:U-M Structure Seminar: \"Starch Recognition and Degradation by the Human Gut Symbiont Bacteroides ovatus\" DESCRIPTION:Haley Brown\nGraduate Student\nKoropatkin Lab\nUniversity of Michigan UID:76185-19671617@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/76185 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Lecture,Structural Biology LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210209T122748 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210312T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210312T113000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Semester in Detroit Winter 2021 Office Hours DESCRIPTION:Got questions about your application?

This could be a fly avoiding predators\, or the retina processing terabytes of data almost instantaneously to guide complex human actions. In this talk we draw parallels between such tasks\, and the efficient sampling of complex molecules with hundreds of thousands of atoms. Such sampling is critical for predictive computer simulations in condensed matter physics and biophysics\, including but not limited to problems such as crystal nucleation\, protein loop movement and drug unbinding. For this we use the Predictive Information Bottleneck (PIB) and long short-term memory (LSTM) frameworks from artificial intelligence (AI)\, and re-formulate them for the sampling of biomolecular structure and dynamics\, especially when plagued with rare events. We demonstrate the methods on different test-pieces\, where we calculate the dissociation pathway and timescales much longer than milliseconds. These include ligand dissociation from the protein lysozyme\, protein kinases and and from flexible RNA. We will also discuss some generic challenges and proposed solutions regarding reliability\, interpretability and extrapolative powers of AI when used in molecular simulations\, drawing mutually beneficial connections between the at first glance disconnected fields of theoretical chemistry and AI.\n\n*Join us on zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/92734220731* UID:82542-21116092@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82542 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biophysics,seminar,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210115T153425 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210312T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210312T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Lecture Series. Making Property Out of Air: Experiments in Urban Form in Phnom Penh DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\; register at http://bit.ly/3qqzVLl\n\nRunaway land prices\, market euphoria\, and an open economy together generated effects that continue to reverberate throughout Phnom Penh today. Beginning in the 2000s\, Asian capitalists gave new buoyancy to Phnom Penh’s built environment when land once again became an object of intense speculation. But unlike earlier booms\, the relationship between land and space was fundamentally reworked by foreign developers proposing large construction projects theretofore unseen in Cambodia’s otherwise low-slung capital. These projects would not only physically transform the city but required the fabrication of new things. Over the last decade\, condominiums have become the most explosive part of Phnom Penh’s real estate market evidenced in the swell of units across the city. In this talk\, I highlight the making of Phnom Penh’s first condominiums to argue how the condominium as a go-to urban form was never self-evident nor guaranteed despite its proliferation. The condominium — recognizable in cities across the globe from Singapore to New York — is a tenure category even though it is often treated as a residential type\, usually in high-rise buildings. I track the real estate strategies and logics to argue how formatting urban space is born out of social and technical experiments that are part of the messiness in making markets and building experiments that are constitutive of Phnom Penh’s speculative urbanism. The built environment not only indexes the volatilities and vibrancies of the market\, it is the mundane terrain through which ambitions\, values\, and forms are negotiated and made material. I situate the condominium as a property form born out of experiments to fabricate property able to capture values.\n \nSylvia Nam is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of California\, Irvine. She is an interdisciplinary scholar with research interests in cities\, markets\, and expertise. Her work brings together anthropological engagements with value alongside geographical theories on the production of space as the cutting edge of accumulation.\n \nShe is currently working on a book project\, Phnom Penh\, City of Speculation\, which is an ethnographic examination of speculative practices of real estate in Cambodia’s capital\, the role of Asian investment in radically reshaping the city’s landscape\, and the regulatory regimes that enable speculation and investment.\n\n- - -\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

This month our focus is on higher education institutions and their impact and responsibility to the communities they serve. “The mission of the University of Michigan is to serve the people of Michigan and the world.” This quote comes directly from the mission statement from the Office of U-M President. Many universities have missions that discuss giving back to local communities\, yet they continue to remain separate and exploit the communities that they purport to serve. Often\, it is marginalized communities who suffer as a result of collegiate negligence—walls built to keep the school isolated or a lack of property taxes that underfund neighborhoods and districts. This webinar will discuss higher education’s responsibility for its impact on the surrounding communities\, and how to respectfully and responsibly enter communities and empower community leaders and denizens. Featured guests Daphne Watkins and John M. Wallace have done this well and will share their experiences and strategies.\nAccess Real-Time Translation (CART) captioning services will be available.\nSpeakers\nJohn M. Wallace\nJohn M. Wallace\, Jr.\, Ph.D. is the Vice Provost for Faculty Diversity and Development\, holds the David E.

Joseph-Gabriel\, Assistant Professor of French and Francophone Studies\, University of Michigan\n- Lydia Kelow-Bennett\, Assistant Professor of Afroamerican and African Studies\, University of Michigan\n- Supriya M. Nair\, Professor of English Language and Literature\, University of Michigan\n\nBlack women living in the French empire played a key role in the decolonial movements of the mid-twentieth century. As thinkers and activists\, these women lived lives of commitment and risk that landed them in war zones and concentration camps and saw them declared enemies of the state.\n\nAnnette K. Joseph-Gabriel mines published writings and untapped archives to reveal the anticolonialist endeavors of seven women. Though often overlooked today\, Suzanne Césaire\, Paulette Nardal\, Eugénie Éboué-Tell\, Jane Vialle\, Andrée Blouin\, Aoua Kéita\, and Eslanda Robeson took part in a forceful transnational movement. Their activism and thought challenged France's imperial system by shaping forms of citizenship that encouraged multiple cultural and racial identities. Expanding the possibilities of belonging beyond national and even Francophone borders\, these women imagined new pan-African and pan-Caribbean identities informed by black feminist intellectual frameworks and practices. The visions they articulated also shifted the idea of citizenship itself\, replacing a single form of collective identity and political participation with an expansive plurality of forms of belonging.\n\nThis event is part of IRWG's Gender: New Works\, New Questions series\, which spotlights recent publications by U-M faculty members and allows for deeper discussion by an interdisciplinary panel.

Historically\, technology has had limited access the molecular secrets of aged specimens\; however\, high-throughput short-read sequencing has recently enhanced our ability to interrogate historical archives. Although specimen-derived DNA is not often amenable to long-read sequencing\, creative reduced-representation genomic approaches that circumvent issues of DNA quality (e.g.\, RADsequ\, exome capture) have catalyzed the field of museomics. New linked-read sequencing approaches (e.g.\, 10X Genomics) further enhance our ability to generate quality de novo genome assemblies from degraded specimens. These methods geographically connect short-reads in genome-space\, creating assemblies with greater completeness and contiguity relative to shot-gun only assemblies. New technologies and the expanding availability quality reference assemblies from across the tree of life\, increasingly enable comparative and population genomic studies that leverage the temporal depth and geographic breadth of museum archives. We use population-level genomic sampling across multiple species of Peromyscus (deer mice)\, a well-represented taxon in natural history collections\, to identify genetic mechanisms of dehydration-tolerance. Desert-adapted deer mice may never drink water or urinate during their lifetime\, yet they remain behaviorally and cognitively intact under extreme dehydration. In contrast\, there are millions of dehydration-related deaths in humans each year. Identification of the genes and regulatory regions involved in desert adaptation in other mammals will help identify candidate loci for potential gene therapies in humans. A strong link between museums and public-health will bolster funding for these critical repositories and expand molecular applications. As the primary consumers of cryogenic tissue resources\, it is the responsibility of the molecular biology community to contribute to the growth and maintenance of collections through the active contribution of biological resources via fieldwork or the incorporation of long-term specimen preservation costs into grant applications.\n\nKelly Speer\nBiodiversity Genomics and George E. Burch Postdoctoral Fellow\, Center for Conservation and Evolutionary Genomics\, Smithsonian Institute of Conservation Biology\, National Zoological Park and Department of Invertebrate Zoology\, National Museum of Natural History\n\nTalk title: Determining drivers of symbiont evolution in a multi-tier hierarchical system\n\nAbstract\nThe use of natural history specimens is continually reimagined beyond the original intent with which they were collected. Recently\, natural history specimens have been used to examine change in host-associated microbial communities through time in response to environmental change. Leveraging the inherent nestedness of host-parasite-microbiome assemblages to minimize sources of variation\, I examine how the microbiomes of insect parasites change across space\, time and environments\, and assess the implications of these changes for pathogen prevalence. I focus on the bacterial microbiome of bat flies (Streblidae and Nycteribiidae)\, which are obligate\, blood-feeding ectoparasites of bats\, that vector pathogens to their hosts. I find that bat fly microbiomes are extremely specific to the species of fly they occupy regardless of abiotic factors. However\, habitat fragmentation\, time and geographic space also contribute to variation in the microbiome of bat flies. This variation is not correlated with prevalence of two arthropod-vectored pathogens of bats\, but possibly strain-level occurrence. As greater interaction between humans and wildlife leads to increased zoonotic disease events\, it is imperative to explore natural history collections as untapped sources of information about the progression of pathogen spread and corresponding wildlife microbiome change.\n\nRead more\, including about the speakers and their talks\, on the ECSS website: https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/ecss/ \n\nREGISTER: https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/ecss/home/register/\n\nIllustration: John Megahan.

Early Islamic World 1: Orientalism and the Erasure of Arab Women Poets DESCRIPTION:Orientalism and the Erasure of Arab Women Poets: Reinscribing Gender in Medieval Adab Culture\n\nArabic manuscripts in world archives transmit the speeches and poetry of women from pre-Islamic times to the modern era\, citing at least 400 named women. Gendered eloquence (Balāghāt al-Nisāʾ) was a widely recognized category of verbal art in adab-humanities\, from the ninth century onward. Thousands of texts document a Shahrazadian (logo-centric) counter-culture resistant to ossified patriarchal authority in pre-Islamic and medieval Arabo-Islamic societies. Over the past five centuries\, though\, oriental studies has taken little notice of the phenomenon and modern print sources have hardly done justice to the legacy of women’s verbal art. Western scholarship has in effect muted Arab women poets for centuries\, with the attendant risks of permanent extinction of an intangible world heritage. How and why did this erasure happen? This talk shifts frame between the contemporary and the premodern\, between the ghosts of orientalist scholarship and the legacy of premodern Arab women demanding to be heard and remembered once again.

Ethics are a fundamental requirement for leading people\, engendering the trust and confidence of your customers\, co-workers\, and the community at large\, and for delivering the best and most reliable products and services. Furthermore\, they embody the “right things to do”. It has been said\, “it takes years to build a reputation for strong ethics\, and just one single lapse to risk destroying it for years to come.” This is especially true in business.\n\nThis seminar examines a high-profile breach in ethics – what happened\, the immediate impacts\, and the lasting legacies it left.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nGeorge Halow is Professor of Practice in Aerospace Engineering\, a position he has held since May 1\, 2019. Prior to this\, George served 31 years at Ford Motor Company in multiple capacities\, including Chief Program Engineer for multiple vehicle lines\, including Expedition\, Navigator\, Ranger\, Crown Victoria\, Grand Marquis\, and Town Car\, where he had lead responsibility for both the business and technical elements of running a vehicle program\, Chief Functional Engineer\, responsible for product design for interior and exterior vehicle components and systems\, globally\, and many other positions in engineering\, manufacturing\, and busines strategy.\n\nGeorge’s educational background includes an MBA from INSEAD in France\, a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University\, and a Bachelor’s in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Maryland.\n\nThroughout his career\, George has been very active in support of universities – he was Ford’s Executive Champion for the University of Michigan Student Vehicle Teams\, Ford’s representative on the Georgia Tech Ray C. Anderson Sustainability Executive Advisory Board\, and gave lectures to students on Ethics & Integrity\, Innovation\, Leadership\, Sustainability\, and Career Building. He has published teaching materials on business ethics through the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan\, marketed by both Michigan and Harvard\, and used by over 30 universities worldwide.

For a theorist to confront a different model or scenario to the latest limits therefore requires a whole chain of tools and calculations to map from Lagrangian parameters to data. With the immense range of possible models now under consideration this begs for automation and genericity. Along with an overview of the state of the art of this toolchain\, I will review my recent work\, in particular on generic unitarity calculations in the context of the SARAH package\; and on recasting both prompt and long-lived LHC searches for electroweakinos so that they can be applied to any model.

DESCRIPTION:Zoom Webinar ID #915 4332 9064\nPorphyry Cu-Au and Cu-Mo deposits constitute the largest source of Cu and Mo ore worldwide and contain significant resources of Au\, W and Ag. They typically form in oceanic and continental arcs above subduction zones where magmas are produced as a result of dehydration of the subducting slab. Ore formation in porphyry systems is controlled by the exsolution of these NaCl-bearing fluids and the formation of magmatic-hydrothermal plumes. Metals such as Cu\, Mo and Au partition from the melt into the aqueous saline fluids and are transported to the site of ore deposition. Ore shells form partially overlapping elongated or mushroom-shaped zones surrounded by extensive alteration halos. The high-temperature potassic alteration is preserved in the deeper parts closer to the intrusion and is overprinted by intermediate temperature phyllic alteration upwards and propylitic alteration outwards. Argillic and vuggy silica alteration represent the low-temperature alteration overprint at very shallow levels. Fluid inclusion studies provide evidence for a complex environment of changing fluid phases as a result of pressure fluctuations. The fluid evolution pathways vary in different porphyry systems depending on the depth and timing of fluid exsolution\, the composition and volume of the fluids (i.e.\, salinity\, CO2 contents etc.)\, and the permeability of the host rocks. Ongoing debates revolve around the roles of high-density brines\, low-density vapors and single phase fluids for metal transport and precipitation. In this lecture\, we will look at examples from natural analogues and new experimental studies to evaluate the importance of low- and intermediate-density fluids for ore formation. The controlling factors of metal enrichment are investigated using numerical simulations to predict metal solubility in magmatic-hydrothermal plumes with pressure fluctuations and transient phase states.

For the past 20 years\, Ganesh's drawing-based practice has shed light on narrative representations of femininity\, sexuality\, and power typically absent from canons of literature and art. Ganesh’s installations\, comics\, animation\, sculpture\, and mixed media works on paper often take historical and mythic texts as inspiration and points of departure to complicate received ideas of iconic female forms. Her studies in literature\, semiotics\, and social theory have been critical to a steady engagement with narrative and deconstruction that animates her work. Her work has been widely exhibited in the United States\, Europe\, and Asia\, with solo exhibitions at MoMA P.S.1\, The Warhol Museum\, Göteborgs Konsthall\, Brooklyn Museum\, Rubin Museum\, Kitchen\, and most recently\, A city will share her secrets if you know how to ask\, the 4th Annual QUEERPOWER Facade Commission at the Leslie Lohman Museum in New York City. (currently on view through October 2021). \n \nHer work Sultana’s Dream was recently acquired by the University of Michigan Museum of Art and will be featured in the upcoming exhibition Oh\, honey… A queer reading of the collection in fall 2021. Learn more about Sultana’s Dream in UMMA’s online presentation of the exhibition. \n \nHer work has also been exhibited in group exhibitions across the United States\, including at The Walker Art Center\, MN\; The Smithsonian Museum of American Art\, Washington\, DC\, the Baltimore Museum of Art\, MD\; The Queens Museum of Art\, NY\; The Asia Society\, NY\; The Bronx  Museum\, NY\, The Contemporary Arts Museum\, Houston\, TX\; the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive\, CA\; the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego\, CA\; and the Boca Raton Museum of Art\, LA\, among others.

For the past 20 years\, Ganesh's drawing-based practice has shed light on narrative representations of femininity\, sexuality\, and power typically absent from canons of literature and art. Ganesh’s installations\, comics\, animation\, sculpture\, and mixed media works on paper often take historical and mythic texts as inspiration and points of departure to complicate received ideas of iconic female forms. Her studies in literature\, semiotics\, and social theory have been critical to a steady engagement with narrative and deconstruction that animates her work. Her work has been widely exhibited in the United States\, Europe\, and Asia\, with solo exhibitions at MoMA P.S.1\, The Warhol Museum\, Göteborgs Konsthall\, Brooklyn Museum\, Rubin Museum\, Kitchen\, and most recently\, A city will share her secrets if you know how to ask\, the 4th Annual QUEERPOWER Facade Commission at the Leslie Lohman Museum in New York City. (currently on view through October 2021).\n\nHer work Sultana’s Dream was recently acquired by the University of Michigan Museum of Art and will be featured in the upcoming exhibition \"Oh\, honey… A queer reading of the collection\" in fall 2021. Learn more about Sultana’s Dream in UMMA’s online presentation of the exhibition.\n\nGanesh's works are held in prominent public collections including The Museum of Modern Art\, The Smithsonian Museum of American Art\, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art\, Berkeley Museum of Art\, San Jose Museum of Art\, and the Whitney Museum\, among others. She has received numerous awards\, including the New York Foundation for the Arts\; Art Matters Foundation\; John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation\; the Joan Mitchell Foundation\; and the Hodder Fellowship at Princeton University\, Pollock Krasner Foundation\, and most recently the Anonymous was a Woman Award in 2020. She received her B.A. from Brown University and her M.F.A. from Columbia University.\n\nThis presentation is UMMA’s 2021 Doris Sloan Memorial Program. Established through the generosity of Dr. Herbert Sloan\, the annual Doris Sloan Memorial Program honors one of the Museum’s most ardent friends and supporters\, Doris Sloan\, a long-time UMMA docent. Lead support for \"Oh\, honey…A queer reading of the collection\" is provided by Alan Hergott and Curt Shepard and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

For instructions\, please email cmenas@umich.edu with the subject “Request to watch ‘Stray'”\n \nAbout the film:\nThrough the eyes of three stray dogs wandering the streets of Istanbul\, STRAY explores what it means to live as a being without status or security. As they search for food and shelter\, Zeytin\, Nazar and Kartal embark on inconspicuous journeys through Turkish society that allow us an unvarnished portrait of human life — and their own canine culture.\n \nZeytin\, fiercely independent\, embarks on solitary adventures through the city at night\; Nazar\, nurturing and protective\, easily befriends the humans around her\; while Kartal\, a shy puppy living on the outskirts of a construction site\, finds refuge with the security guards who care for her. The disparate lives of Zeytin\, Nazar and Kartal intersect when they each form intimate bonds with a group of young Syrians who share the streets with them.\n \nWhether they lead us into bustling streets or decrepit ruins\, the gaze of these strays act as windows into the overlooked corners of society: women in loveless marriages\, protesters without arms\, refugees without sanctuary. The film is a critical observation of human civilization through the unfamiliar gaze of dogs and a sensory voyage into new ways of seeing.\n\nCo-sponsor: Michigan Theatre UID:82750-21171590@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82750 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:center for middle eastern and north african studies,cmenas,Film,Middle East Studies,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210225T101133 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210313T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210313T200000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:CMENAS Virtual Viewing: You Will Die at Twenty DESCRIPTION:For a limited time\, we are sponsoring free access to this film's virtual viewing.

Winner of the Lion of the Future Award for best Debut Feature at the Venice Film Festival\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is visually sumptuous “coming-of-death” fable. During her son’s naming ceremony\, a Sheikh predicts that Sakina’s child will die at the age of 20. Haunted by this prophecy\, Sakina becomes overly protective of her son Muzamil\, who grows up knowing about his fate. As Muzamil escapes Sakina’s ever-watchful eye\, he encounters friends\, ideas and challenges that make him question his destiny. Sudan’s first Oscar submission\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is an auspicious debut and a moving meditation on what it means to live in the present.\n\nCo-sponsor: Michigan Theatre UID:82514-21114086@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82514 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:center for middle eastern and north african studies,Film,Middle East Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210217T133137 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210313T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210313T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:For Your Eyes Only DESCRIPTION:Please Note: This exhibition is designed to be viewed through the gallery window on Thayer St.\n\nYasmine Nasser Diaz is the 2021 Efroymson Emerging Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.\n\nFor Your Eyes Only is the latest iteration of multidisciplinary artist Yasmine Nasser Diaz’s bedroom installation. At first glance\, the constructed space is a shimmering homage to the bedroom disco—a sanctuary for uninhibited dance and self-expression. It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media\, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some\, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous\, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled\, scrutinized\, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region. The images demonstrate the fluctuating attitudes and regulations impacting human rights and freedoms based on gender\, and exemplify how—whether we are physically at a protest or sharing our physicality in virtual spaces—our bodies are engaged in some level of risk.\n*Southwest Asian/North African\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

MBCT initiates a cognitive change that helps clients move past events that have the potential to trigger relapse. Participants learn how to view their thoughts without judgment.\n\nIf you are interested in attending or referring a potential group participant\, please contact the Psychological Clinic to begin the process.

For instructions\, please email cmenas@umich.edu with the subject “Request to watch ‘Stray'”\n \nAbout the film:\nThrough the eyes of three stray dogs wandering the streets of Istanbul\, STRAY explores what it means to live as a being without status or security. As they search for food and shelter\, Zeytin\, Nazar and Kartal embark on inconspicuous journeys through Turkish society that allow us an unvarnished portrait of human life — and their own canine culture.\n \nZeytin\, fiercely independent\, embarks on solitary adventures through the city at night\; Nazar\, nurturing and protective\, easily befriends the humans around her\; while Kartal\, a shy puppy living on the outskirts of a construction site\, finds refuge with the security guards who care for her. The disparate lives of Zeytin\, Nazar and Kartal intersect when they each form intimate bonds with a group of young Syrians who share the streets with them.\n \nWhether they lead us into bustling streets or decrepit ruins\, the gaze of these strays act as windows into the overlooked corners of society: women in loveless marriages\, protesters without arms\, refugees without sanctuary. The film is a critical observation of human civilization through the unfamiliar gaze of dogs and a sensory voyage into new ways of seeing.\n\nCo-sponsor: Michigan Theatre UID:82750-21171591@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82750 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:center for middle eastern and north african studies,cmenas,Film,Middle East Studies,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210225T101133 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210314T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210314T200000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:CMENAS Virtual Viewing: You Will Die at Twenty DESCRIPTION:For a limited time\, we are sponsoring free access to this film's virtual viewing.

Winner of the Lion of the Future Award for best Debut Feature at the Venice Film Festival\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is visually sumptuous “coming-of-death” fable. During her son’s naming ceremony\, a Sheikh predicts that Sakina’s child will die at the age of 20. Haunted by this prophecy\, Sakina becomes overly protective of her son Muzamil\, who grows up knowing about his fate. As Muzamil escapes Sakina’s ever-watchful eye\, he encounters friends\, ideas and challenges that make him question his destiny. Sudan’s first Oscar submission\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is an auspicious debut and a moving meditation on what it means to live in the present.\n\nCo-sponsor: Michigan Theatre UID:82514-21114087@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82514 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:center for middle eastern and north african studies,Film,Middle East Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210217T133137 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210314T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210314T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:For Your Eyes Only DESCRIPTION:Please Note: This exhibition is designed to be viewed through the gallery window on Thayer St.\n\nYasmine Nasser Diaz is the 2021 Efroymson Emerging Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.\n\nFor Your Eyes Only is the latest iteration of multidisciplinary artist Yasmine Nasser Diaz’s bedroom installation. At first glance\, the constructed space is a shimmering homage to the bedroom disco—a sanctuary for uninhibited dance and self-expression. It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media\, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some\, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous\, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled\, scrutinized\, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region. The images demonstrate the fluctuating attitudes and regulations impacting human rights and freedoms based on gender\, and exemplify how—whether we are physically at a protest or sharing our physicality in virtual spaces—our bodies are engaged in some level of risk.\n*Southwest Asian/North African\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

For instructions\, please email cmenas@umich.edu with the subject “Request to watch ‘Stray'”\n \nAbout the film:\nThrough the eyes of three stray dogs wandering the streets of Istanbul\, STRAY explores what it means to live as a being without status or security. As they search for food and shelter\, Zeytin\, Nazar and Kartal embark on inconspicuous journeys through Turkish society that allow us an unvarnished portrait of human life — and their own canine culture.\n \nZeytin\, fiercely independent\, embarks on solitary adventures through the city at night\; Nazar\, nurturing and protective\, easily befriends the humans around her\; while Kartal\, a shy puppy living on the outskirts of a construction site\, finds refuge with the security guards who care for her. The disparate lives of Zeytin\, Nazar and Kartal intersect when they each form intimate bonds with a group of young Syrians who share the streets with them.\n \nWhether they lead us into bustling streets or decrepit ruins\, the gaze of these strays act as windows into the overlooked corners of society: women in loveless marriages\, protesters without arms\, refugees without sanctuary. The film is a critical observation of human civilization through the unfamiliar gaze of dogs and a sensory voyage into new ways of seeing.\n\nCo-sponsor: Michigan Theatre UID:82750-21171592@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82750 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:center for middle eastern and north african studies,cmenas,Film,Middle East Studies,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210225T101133 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210315T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210315T200000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:CMENAS Virtual Viewing: You Will Die at Twenty DESCRIPTION:For a limited time\, we are sponsoring free access to this film's virtual viewing.

Winner of the Lion of the Future Award for best Debut Feature at the Venice Film Festival\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is visually sumptuous “coming-of-death” fable. During her son’s naming ceremony\, a Sheikh predicts that Sakina’s child will die at the age of 20. Haunted by this prophecy\, Sakina becomes overly protective of her son Muzamil\, who grows up knowing about his fate. As Muzamil escapes Sakina’s ever-watchful eye\, he encounters friends\, ideas and challenges that make him question his destiny. Sudan’s first Oscar submission\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is an auspicious debut and a moving meditation on what it means to live in the present.\n\nCo-sponsor: Michigan Theatre UID:82514-21114088@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82514 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:center for middle eastern and north african studies,Film,Middle East Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210217T133137 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210315T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210315T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:For Your Eyes Only DESCRIPTION:Please Note: This exhibition is designed to be viewed through the gallery window on Thayer St.\n\nYasmine Nasser Diaz is the 2021 Efroymson Emerging Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.\n\nFor Your Eyes Only is the latest iteration of multidisciplinary artist Yasmine Nasser Diaz’s bedroom installation. At first glance\, the constructed space is a shimmering homage to the bedroom disco—a sanctuary for uninhibited dance and self-expression. It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media\, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some\, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous\, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled\, scrutinized\, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region. The images demonstrate the fluctuating attitudes and regulations impacting human rights and freedoms based on gender\, and exemplify how—whether we are physically at a protest or sharing our physicality in virtual spaces—our bodies are engaged in some level of risk.\n*Southwest Asian/North African\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

The YFAS has been quantitatively validated in numerous populations and consistently demonstrates strong psychometric properties including convergent\, discriminant\, and incremental validity across studies. However\, the YFAS has never been examined qualitatively to determine if the scale accurately captures the lived experience of food addiction. The goals of the current study were threefold: 1.) To determine if the subjective understanding of individual items on the YFAS are being interpreted in a manner consistent with the clinical conceptualization of substance use disorder\, 2.) To identify important aspects of the lived experience of food addiction that are NOT being captured by the YFAS\, and 3.) To determine if items on the YFAS do not accurately reflect or are irrelevant to the lived experience of food addiction. Seventeen individuals who self-identified as addicted to food and met criteria for food addiction on the YFAS completed in-depth\, qualitative interviews concerning their lived experience of food addiction as well as their experience completing the YFAS. Thematic analysis was used to identify prominent themes across interviews.\" UID:82846-21201317@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82846 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:brown bag LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210205T001555 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210315T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210315T103000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Dismantling White Supremacy DESCRIPTION:Culture reflects a set of agreed-upon expectations and norms in a social community.

These exposures have wide-ranging effects and are linked to neural\, behavioral\, epigenetic\, physiological\, and mental health effects in trauma-exposed individuals. The timing of trauma exposure is associated with long term risk\, such that childhood trauma has particularly pervasive effects on neurobiology and health outcomes. A growing body of evidence now indicates the importance of caregivers trauma may also have intergenerational effects\, such that parents’ trauma exposure can impact their offspring. Although a substantial body of evidence\nsuggests a link between parental trauma exposure and adverse child outcomes\, the relevant mechanisms of transmission are still unclear. This presentation will describe neurobiological correlates of trauma exposure in children\, focusing on fear circuitry and behavioral and psychophysiological measures of fear inhibition. The talk will include data from children’s direct exposure to violence\, as well as the intergenerational impact of caregiver trauma. Potential buffering effects of caregivers will also be discussed.

These projects employed a quality improvement approach whereby health workers and staff at the local level formed quality improvement teams. Using quality improvement methods\, these teams first identified barriers to providing high quality maternal and newborn care and then proposed simple\, low-cost solutions to address these barriers. Dr. Singh’s external evaluation team employed a mixed methods approach to understand whether and how this intervention improved maternal and child health outcomes. The evaluation methods included quantitative impact analyses\, team assessments\, quality assessments and cost-effectiveness analyses. \n\n\nBIO: \nKavita Singh (Ongechi)\, PhD\, MPH\, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Maternal and Child Health at UNC and also a Faculty Fellow at the Carolina Population Center. She served as the Senior Technical Advisor for Maternal and Child Health for the MEASURE Evaluation project\, and now serves in that role for the Data for Impact Project (D4I). Dr. Singh has been the lead PI for the evaluation of several quality improvement projects focused on maternal and child health in Ghana and Ethiopia. She was also an evaluator for the Safe Motherhood Initiative in Malawi and has been researching the effect of postnatal care and essential newborn care on neonatal survival. Much of Dr. Singh’s current work is focused on methodologies to obtain data on hard to measure outcomes such as maternal mortality and techniques to improve the quality and use of health facility data. She used indirect estimation techniques to understand the effect of forced migration on refugee and host populations in Northern Uganda and South Sudan. She has also used venue-based methodologies to understand localities most in need of HIV prevention messages and services. Dr. Singh is keenly interested in translating pilot phase evaluation findings to inform the implementation of scale-up phases and adapting methodologies to get better data on maternal\, child and newborn health outcomes. \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\n\nNOTE: The last 15 minutes of this session are reserved for a professional development conversation between the presenter and PSC trainees.\n\n\nContact PSC Office for Zoom details.

To do this\, we investigate what general decision strategies in moral decisions are\, and ask whether they are adapted to the environment in the same way that non-moral decisions are. In this talk\, I will first introduce a process-tracing method — the MouseLab paradigm (E. Johnson et al.\, 1989) — that helps identify strategies in decision making. Then\, I will propose a series of studies investigating strategies in moral decisions in a given bounded environment. The environmental bounds that we explore are time constraints\, numbers of choice alternatives\, and numbers of attributes. We will then compare the strategies used in our moral decision tasks with those identified in non-moral decisions in the literature\, as well as those identified in our non-moral decision tasks.

While these problems are important for practicing mathematical problem-solving\, they lack the complexity of ill-defined\, sociotechnical engineering projects in the real world. In my current research I seek to bridge this gap between the engineering classroom and workplace by understanding how students engage in the productive beginnings of professional practices and how instructors can support these productive beginnings.\n \nThis seminar will focus on my research in one particular practice\, engineering judgment\, which is the use of mathematical models in design and analysis. I will discuss my development of a new innovative type of assignment in which students model a real-world system by making and justifying their own assumptions. The quantitative and qualitative results showcase students’ affective response to the problems\, the ways in which students exhibit the productive beginnings of engineering judgment\, and the influence of the assignment scaffolding on students’ work. I will conclude by outlining my future work on professional practices\, including students’ development of macroethical reasoning\, and formative assessment strategies instructors can use to engage students in the productive beginnings of professional practices.\n \nAbout the speaker...\n\nAaron W. Johnson is an Instructor in Smead Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder. He believes in a strong connection between engineering education research and practice\, and his research leverages his experience teaching engineering science courses to bridge the gap between theoretical\, well-defined coursework and ill-defined\, sociotechnical engineering practice. His current work seeks to develop an understanding of how students engage in the productive beginnings of professional practices and how instructors’ pedagogy and assignments can support these productive beginnings. Aaron holds a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan\, and a Ph.D. in Aeronautics and Astronautics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Prior to CU Boulder\, he was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Tufts University Center for Engineering Education and Outreach and the University of Michigan Engineering Education Research Program. Aaron is a two-time recipient of the U-M Aerospace Department Silver Shaft Award for Undergraduate Teaching and was recently awarded the 2020 American Society for Engineering Education Apprentice Faculty Grant for promising engineering education scholars.

However\, due to their very small energy depositions\, general purpose detectors are blind to such particles. In order to provide sensitivity\, the milliQan experiment consists of several layers of long scintillator bars pointing towards the CMS interaction point\, paired with high-gain\, low-noise photomultiplier tubes capable of measuring a single scintillation photon. In 2017\, a 1% scale \"demonstrator\" was installed at the planned site in order to study the feasibility and develop understanding of the experiment. The demonstrator ran very successfully\, allowing a search to be undertaken that set competitive constraints and providing critical insights for future detectors. In this talk I will discuss the general concept of the experiment\, the results from the demonstrator\, and the plan for future detectors at the LHC and beyond.\n UID:82793-21179561@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82793 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210301T131907 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210315T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210315T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:MIDAS Seminar Series Presents: Patricia Murrieta-Flores\, Lancaster University DESCRIPTION:The field of Digital Humanities\, and particularly the increasing accessibility of digital resources\, has opened a significant number of opportunities for the study of sources that can be highly relevant to history and archaeology. These opportunities include the use of methodologies from the fields of Artificial Intelligence and Computational Linguistics and the application of a diversity of techniques and methods for the large-scale analysis and exploration of collections of historical documents.\n\nIn the case of the early colonial history of Mexico\, there is an enormous variety of historical documents related to the economic\, social and political life at that time. An example of this is the sixteenth-century Relaciones Geográficas de Nueva España (the Geographic Reports of New Spain). Created from the responses to a questionnaire ordered by Philip II’s and obtained between 1577 and 1585\, the Geographic Reports sought to compile all the information available on the American territories under Spanish rule. Due to its essential content\, these reports have been the object of study by a large number of researchers\, and are frequently used in the analysis of the political\, social\, territorial and economic situation at the time. Although numerous studies seek to understand the shifting territorial situation in New Spain\, two enormous challenges have remained. The first one is the considerable size or volume of information to be analysed and compared. The second has been the precise identification of the places mentioned in these reports\, especially on a large scale.\n\nIn this presentation\, I will introduce the project sponsored by the Transatlantic Platform for the Humanities and Social Sciences (T-AP) called “Digging into Early Colonial Mexico: a large-scale computational analysis of historical documents”\, and some of its results. Taking as a basis the historical corpus of the Geographic Reports of New Spain\, the project main objectives have been: 1) to adapt and develop techniques from Artificial Intelligence\, including aspects of Natural Language Processing\, Text Mining and Geographic Information Systems for the extraction and analysis of historical information from this source\, and 2) to design computational methodologies for the identification of possible large-scale historical patterns. This research is allowing us to clarify some of the essential geographic questions related to the period and the colonial situation in this territory. I will also present a methodology termed Geographical Text Analysis and some of the most critical outputs from this project. These include software developed to carry out this type of analysis\, the first sixteenth-century digital gazetteer of Mexico and Guatemala\, and the first experiments using Natural Language Processing to automatically annotate the Relaciones corpus.

I will present CRISPRoff— a programmable epigenetic memory writer consisting of a single dead Cas9 fusion protein that establishes DNA methylation and repressive histone modifications to turn off transcription. Transient CRISPRoff expression initiates highly specific DNA methylation and gene repression that is maintained through cell division and differentiation of stem cells to neurons. Pairing CRISPRoff with genome-wide screens and analysis of chromatin marks enabled us to explore the rules for heritable silencing. We identify sgRNAs capable of silencing the large majority of genes including those lacking canonical CpG islands (CGIs) and reveal a wide targeting window extending beyond annotated CGIs. Our finding that targeted DNA methylation outside of CGIs leads to memorized gene silencing expands the canonical model of methylation-based silencing and broadly enables diverse applications including genome-wide screens\, multiplexed cell engineering\, enhancer silencing\, and mechanistic exploration of epigenetic inheritance.\n\nKEYWORDS: CRISPR\, transcription\, epigenetics\nFlyer in PDF: https://rna.umich.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Seminar-Flyer-03152021-Nunez.pdf UID:81286-20881887@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81286 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biointerfaces,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Chemistry,Drug Discovery,Graduate,Graduate School,Lecture,Life Science,Materials Science,Medicine,Natural Sciences,Pharmacy,Postdoctoral Research Fellows,Public Health,Public Policy,Rackham,Research,Science,Structural Biology LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210118T163944 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210315T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210315T171500 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STS Speaker. The Specter of Irreversible Change DESCRIPTION:In 1950\, the United States had 299 nuclear weapons in its stockpile. By 1960\, it had 18\,638. And by 1965\, it had 31\,139. As the United States and Russia massively increased both the power and the range of their nuclear weaponry\, it became possible to conceive of a catastrophic\, global-scale war\, and the Atomic Energy Commission funded studies to investigate the economic and environmental consequences of such a war. Along with military planners\, sociologists\, and even science fiction writers\, ecologists were tasked by the U.S. government with envisioning the immense destructive potential of nuclear weaponry. In so doing\, ecologists did not picture the outcome of World War III as the total annihilation of life on earth\; there would have been no point to such an exercise. Instead\, ecologists anticipated a period of environmental and economic recovery after World War III and considered how the government could hasten that recovery – how they could pursue ecological restoration. Ecologists and military strategists revisited studies of past ecological disasters\, including the American Dust Bowl\, in their attempt to plan for apocalypse. Their Doomsday imaginings drew on ecological succession theory\, expanding the category of “environmental disturbance” beyond windstorms\, fires\, and floods to include nuclear bombs – and\, ultimately\, any human action. Meanwhile\, in order to simulate the effects of nuclear war\, ecologists began to destroy ecological communities intentionally. They irradiated forests and fumigated islands\, trying to measure how intentionally stressed communities responded. These ecosystem destruction studies reveal the key contributions that the Cold War arms race made to the theory and practice of ecological restoration. \n\nLaura J. Martin is an assistant professor of environmental studies at Williams College. Her research and teaching lie at the intersection of environmental history\, history of biology\, and conservation biology. She is currently finishing a book on the history of ecological restoration as an idea\, a practice\, and a scientific discipline.

For instructions\, please email cmenas@umich.edu with the subject “Request to watch ‘Stray'”\n \nAbout the film:\nThrough the eyes of three stray dogs wandering the streets of Istanbul\, STRAY explores what it means to live as a being without status or security. As they search for food and shelter\, Zeytin\, Nazar and Kartal embark on inconspicuous journeys through Turkish society that allow us an unvarnished portrait of human life — and their own canine culture.\n \nZeytin\, fiercely independent\, embarks on solitary adventures through the city at night\; Nazar\, nurturing and protective\, easily befriends the humans around her\; while Kartal\, a shy puppy living on the outskirts of a construction site\, finds refuge with the security guards who care for her. The disparate lives of Zeytin\, Nazar and Kartal intersect when they each form intimate bonds with a group of young Syrians who share the streets with them.\n \nWhether they lead us into bustling streets or decrepit ruins\, the gaze of these strays act as windows into the overlooked corners of society: women in loveless marriages\, protesters without arms\, refugees without sanctuary. The film is a critical observation of human civilization through the unfamiliar gaze of dogs and a sensory voyage into new ways of seeing.\n\nCo-sponsor: Michigan Theatre UID:82750-21171593@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82750 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:center for middle eastern and north african studies,cmenas,Film,Middle East Studies,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210225T101133 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210316T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210316T200000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:CMENAS Virtual Viewing: You Will Die at Twenty DESCRIPTION:For a limited time\, we are sponsoring free access to this film's virtual viewing.

During her son’s naming ceremony\, a Sheikh predicts that Sakina’s child will die at the age of 20.

As Muzamil escapes Sakina’s ever-watchful eye\, he encounters friends\, ideas and challenges that make him question his destiny.

At first glance\, the constructed space is a shimmering homage to the bedroom disco—a sanctuary for uninhibited dance and self-expression. It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media\, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some\, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous\, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled\, scrutinized\, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region. The images demonstrate the fluctuating attitudes and regulations impacting human rights and freedoms based on gender\, and exemplify how—whether we are physically at a protest or sharing our physicality in virtual spaces—our bodies are engaged in some level of risk.\n*Southwest Asian/North African\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

NAc may have two modes for motivation\, as inhibition and excitation of NAc can both produce motivated behaviors. For example\, NAc medial shell inhibition through AMPA receptor antagonist (DNQX) microinjections can produce both intense eating and defensive behaviors (Baumgartner et al.\, 2020). Chapter 2 of this dissertation investigates the inhibition hypothesis of accumbens motivation generation by testing whether local pairing of optogenetic excitation can disrupt ‘desire’ and ‘dread’ behaviors generated by DNQX microinjections.\n\nIncentive and aversive motivation generated by NAc and other limbic structures are flexible and able to respond to external stressors. Chapter 3 therefore investigates a previously untested neuronal population in NAc that expresses corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF)\, a stress-related peptide heavily implicated in aversive motivation and distressing drug-withdrawal states in CeA and bed nucleus of stria terminalis (BNST). Like NAc\, the CeA is also capable of producing intense positive and negative motivated behaviors and we investigate the flexibility of incentive or aversive motivation in CRF neurons using new Crh-Cre+ rats to optogenetically stimulate NAc\, CeA\, or BNST CRF-containing neurons. This work finds that excitation of CRF-expressing neurons is capable of biasing and amplifying motivation for sucrose rewards in both NAc shell and lateral CeA (Baumgartner et al. 2021). Conversely\, it also demonstrates that optogenetic excitation of pallidal-like bed nucleus of stria terminalis (BNST) CRF-containing neurons produces only negative affect and aversive motivation\, filling the traditional role that CRF has been hypothesized to play in aversive withdrawal and affect (Koob 2013).\n\nFollowing the demonstrated positive role of NAc and CeA CRF-containing neurons for sucrose rewards\, Chapter 4 of this dissertation examines whether this influence on incentive motivation also applies to drug rewards. CRF in CeA and BNST is posited to underlie aversive withdrawal states\, causing negative distress that leads to addictive relapse through attempts at hedonic self-medication to relieve this state (Koob 2013). Chapter 4 therefore tests whether optogenetic excitation of CRF neurons in NAc\, CeA\, and BNST are capable of biasing and amplifying motivation for self-administered intravenous cocaine infusions. Understanding whether CRF-mediated incentive motivation also can drive drug motivation is therefore integral. We find that NAc and CeA CRF-expressing neurons are indeed capable of biasing motivation for cocaine infusions\, while rats given the option between BNST CRF-containing neuron-paired cocaine and cocaine alone show no drug escalation or preferences between cocaine options.\n\nAltogether this dissertation demonstrates the limbic generation of intense motivation in structures such as NAc and CeA\, and how both incentive and aversive motivation can be modulated by stress and brain CRF systems. The neural mechanisms underlying these different motivational valences provide important insight into cases where motivation can become pathological\, such as in addiction\, schizophrenia\, and other psychological disorders.

First\, the presentation examines how Chinese American women medical personnel came to establish the first Chinese blood bank in New York and Kunming\, China. Second\, this talk reveals how Singapore-born and Edinburgh-educated Dr. Robert Lim successfully relocated the National Defense Medical Center from China to Taiwan in 1948 despite the longstanding challenges posed by the Chinese Civil War. This presentation highlights the essential intersections of scientific expertise\, political freedoms\, and diasporic power in shaping global medicine in China and Taiwan through a critical examination of these two medical encounters between the diaspora and the local Chinese and Taiwanese.\n \n Wayne Soon (PhD Princeton) is an Assistant Professor of History at Vassar College. His book\, \"Global Medicine in China: A Diasporic History\" (Stanford University Press\, 2020)\, tells the global medical histories of Chinese East Asia through the lens of diasporic Chinese medical personnel\, who were central in introducing new practices of military medicine\, blood banking\, mobile medicine\, and mass medical training to China and Taiwan. Universal care\, practical medical education\, and mobile medicine are all lasting legacies of this effort on both sides of the Taiwan Straits. Dr. Soon’s published and forthcoming articles can be found in \"Twentieth Century China\,\" \"Bulletin of the History of Medicine\,\" \"American Journal of Chinese Studies\,\" and \"East Asian Science\, Technology and Society: An International Journal.\"\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

The “Talisman of the World”: Mawlāna Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī and the Mongols in 13th-Century Seljuk Anatolia DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\; please register at https://myumi.ch/K4nNo\n\nMawlānā Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī (d. 1274)\, the Sufi shaykh and poet celebrated for his mystical Mathnawi\, rose to prominence during a particularly turbulent period as Mongol rule was imposed upon Seljuk Anatolia. While partisan arguments abound in modern Turkish historiography whether he was a collaborator with the Mongol invaders or not\, Mawlana’s social and political role in Mongol-dominated Seljuk Konya remains obscure. By drawing on a variety of thirteenth and fourteenth century sources of a hagiographical\, religious and historical nature\, Mawlānā’s historical role and socio-political context are reevaluated: How did Mawlānā view the Mongol regime? What was his relationship with the Seljuk political elite and\, in particular\, with the Parwāna\, the Seljuk official and Mongol collaborator who usurped the Seljuk sultan’s power? Finally\, how are we to understand Mawlānā’s moral-religious charisma and spiritual capital as the protector of Konya and Rūm from the Mongols-- the great talisman of the world\, as his hagiographer Aflākī portrays him?

Within this workshop\, she will encourage attendees to first connect with their own artistic selves\, considering the ways that the arts are woven within their own life’s story. Following a journey to reconsider their positionality with regard to the arts\, attendees will examine the ways that human beings use the arts to address injustice\, particularly at moments of crisis such as those we are experiencing today. Equity in arts education will be examined from this broader perspective\, with each participant reflecting on their own journey within educational spaces as it relates to identity and marginalization.\n\nAn integral part of the Inspire initiative is pairing advocacy\, social change\, and activism with skills that enhance a sense of wellbeing and focus. A short guided Mindfulness Meditation practice will be incorporated into the program.\n\nKate Fitzpatrick-Harnish\, PhD is Associate Professor of Music Education for the School of Music\, Theatre and Dance at the University of Michigan.

New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow examines the corrosive effect of Donald Trump’s arrogance on our democracy. Artist Ruth Nicole Brown describes lessons learned from her aunt about living a life of “you before me\,” and how this informed her work celebrating Black girls. Journalist Lynette Clemetson lays out the conflicts for journalists trained to recede into the background but now urged to be social media presences. And scholars Aric Rindfleisch and Nadia Danienta describe why maker cultures are as good at celebrating failure as they are at championing success. Having witnessed the personal and civic costs of narcissism and arrogance\, these and other writers consider humility as a valuable process—a state of being—with the power to impact institutions\, systems\, families\, and individuals\, and give voice to the ways in which humility is practiced in many ordinary but extraordinary actions.\n\nThis virtual book event\, hosted by Literati\, features four speakers on their essays from the book:\n\nRuth Nicole Brown is an artist-scholar whose life work is dedicated to the celebration of Black girlhood.

As director of the Knight-Wallace Fellowships for Journalists and the Livingston Awards at the University of Michigan\, she works to develop the careers of accomplished journalists from around the world who work in every medium on every platform. A former reporter for Newsweek and The New York Times and a former manager at NPR\, she is a fierce defender of press freedom. She believes there is an incredible amount of important\, impactful\, innovative reporting being done now… if only people (herself included) could stop scrolling long enough to absorb more of it.\n\nMickey Duzyj is an artist & director known for his innovative use of animation in documentary film. He was chosen by Variety Magazine as one of 2019’s “Top 10 Documentary Filmmakers to Watch” and is the creator/director of the critically-acclaimed Netflix documentary series LOSERS (2019). He lives in upstate New York with his wife and 2 boys.\n\nRebekah Modrak is a writer and artist whose interventionist artworks resist consumer culture. Re Made Co.

Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act. This reform law was designed to modernize U.S. industrial chemical policy to promote health\, but has it lived up to its promise?\n\nPublic understanding is limited regarding how exposures to toxic chemicals affect health and how they might be regulated. Unlike pharmaceuticals\, industrial and commercial chemicals are rarely tested for safety before they reach the U.S. market. The 1976 TSCA has been widely acknowledged to be a weak and ineffective law\, and widespread exposures and harms continue. In the U.S.\, everyone is exposed to industrial and toxic chemicals\, dozens and probably hundreds – well before birth. The amount of chemicals manufactured and imported continues to grow – it is trillions of pounds – and these chemicals remain largely unregulated. At the same time\, we have seen an increase in chronic diseases\, such as diabetes\, autism\, and infertility. Not everyone is equally at risk\, and a higher burden of disease falls on low wealth communities and communities of color. These health disparities in exposures and health effects are illustrated and exacerbated by COVID.\n\nThe amended TSCA gave the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency new requirements and authorities. The public health impact points to the need for the U.S. EPA to fully use its new powers to evaluate all risks from hazardous chemicals and set policies which protect health and are accountable to high-risk communities. Preventive actions are urgently needed.\n\nWatch “THE FOREVER CHEMICALS” documentary (2019\, 26 min) at Great Lakes Now then join the March 16 forum. https://www.greatlakesnow.org/fc\n“The Forever Chemicals” is an Emmy-winning examination of the impact of PFAS contamination in west Michigan\ncommunities. \n\nLEARN MORE AT OUR LIVE VIRTUAL PANEL DISCUSSION (registration required) on March 16 with Sandra Svoboda\, “The Forever Chemicals” co-producer and Great Lakes Now Program Director\; Tracey Woodruff\, PhD\, MPH\, Professor\, Ob/Gyn\, Reproductive Sciences\, University of CA-San Francisco\; and Justin Onwenu\, Environmental Justice Organizer\, Sierra Club.

Now internationally honored for his work as a Swedish businessman-turned-Holocaust rescuer\, Wallenberg actually traveled to Hungary to carry out “a humanitarian mission in [sic] behalf of the War Refugee Board\,” a newly-established United States government agency tasked with trying to save the surviving Jews of Europe. This lecture explores Wallenberg’s work as revealed in United States government records: the context of his selection\; the schemes proposed by the War Refugee Board staff\; and the constant communication problems that ultimately kept Washington in the dark about much of his work\, and Wallenberg unaware of their requests of him. As the situation in Hungary worsened\, Wallenberg felt empowered to move from the vague initial plans of relief to embarking upon dangerous rescue work. Unfortunately\, although his colleagues at the Swedish legation in Budapest did not know of his American ties\, it is almost certain that the Soviet Union\, his eventual captor and likely executioner\, did.\n\nPhoto Credit: HS 59\, U-M A.

For instructions\, please email cmenas@umich.edu with the subject “Request to watch ‘Stray'”\n \nAbout the film:\nThrough the eyes of three stray dogs wandering the streets of Istanbul\, STRAY explores what it means to live as a being without status or security. As they search for food and shelter\, Zeytin\, Nazar and Kartal embark on inconspicuous journeys through Turkish society that allow us an unvarnished portrait of human life — and their own canine culture.\n \nZeytin\, fiercely independent\, embarks on solitary adventures through the city at night\; Nazar\, nurturing and protective\, easily befriends the humans around her\; while Kartal\, a shy puppy living on the outskirts of a construction site\, finds refuge with the security guards who care for her. The disparate lives of Zeytin\, Nazar and Kartal intersect when they each form intimate bonds with a group of young Syrians who share the streets with them.\n \nWhether they lead us into bustling streets or decrepit ruins\, the gaze of these strays act as windows into the overlooked corners of society: women in loveless marriages\, protesters without arms\, refugees without sanctuary. The film is a critical observation of human civilization through the unfamiliar gaze of dogs and a sensory voyage into new ways of seeing.\n\nCo-sponsor: Michigan Theatre UID:82750-21171594@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82750 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:center for middle eastern and north african studies,cmenas,Film,Middle East Studies,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210225T101133 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210317T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210317T200000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:CMENAS Virtual Viewing: You Will Die at Twenty DESCRIPTION:For a limited time\, we are sponsoring free access to this film's virtual viewing.

Winner of the Lion of the Future Award for best Debut Feature at the Venice Film Festival\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is visually sumptuous “coming-of-death” fable. During her son’s naming ceremony\, a Sheikh predicts that Sakina’s child will die at the age of 20. Haunted by this prophecy\, Sakina becomes overly protective of her son Muzamil\, who grows up knowing about his fate. As Muzamil escapes Sakina’s ever-watchful eye\, he encounters friends\, ideas and challenges that make him question his destiny. Sudan’s first Oscar submission\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is an auspicious debut and a moving meditation on what it means to live in the present.\n\nCo-sponsor: Michigan Theatre UID:82514-21114090@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82514 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:center for middle eastern and north african studies,Film,Middle East Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210316T090733 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210317T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210317T220000 SUMMARY:Meeting:East Quad Multicultural Council Presents: Women's History Month Scavenger Hunt DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate Women's History Month with the Residential College RAs and Abeng Multicultural Council!

At first glance\, the constructed space is a shimmering homage to the bedroom disco—a sanctuary for uninhibited dance and self-expression. It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media\, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some\, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous\, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled\, scrutinized\, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region. The images demonstrate the fluctuating attitudes and regulations impacting human rights and freedoms based on gender\, and exemplify how—whether we are physically at a protest or sharing our physicality in virtual spaces—our bodies are engaged in some level of risk.\n*Southwest Asian/North African\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

In the human oral microbiome alone\, you can find over 700 different microbial species at a given time. These microbial species can shape the microenvironment throughout the human body\, by their microbial interactions mediated by secretion of chemical mediators (i.e. secondary metabolites). These interactions are paramount to maintaining oral health and systematic health. Several epidemiological studies have linked dysbiosis of oral microbes with cardiovascular disease\, poor glycemic control in diabetics\, low b rheumatoid arthritis and a number of other conditions. Through recent advances in technology\, including next-generation sequencing (NGS) and bioinformatic tools\, have helped to unravel the complexities of the oral microbiome. It is still not understood how microbial interactions are mediated within the oral cavity and how they affect oral and systemic health. Using a prospective\, split mouth\, experimental gingivitis model on 20 healthy non-smoking participants\, we were able to observe metabolite profile changes in oral cavity during gingivitis progression and identify several small molecules that have regulatory properties in pathogenic oral microbial growth. With this research\, we may be able to develop novel enhancers and pharmaceuticals for oral health and characterize molecules that can serve as biomarkers for oral and systemic diseases.\n\nHosts: Matthew Ostrowski\, Thomas Schmidt UID:82901-21211384@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82901 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Drug Discovery,Life Science,Pre Med,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210127T092026 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210317T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210317T110000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Free Coffee and Donuts on North Campus!

The non-linear temporality of the mourning produced by the child mourner from Tel Aviv’s Yemenite Quarter is juxtaposed with national representations of Yemeni Jews\, constructed as an origin of Jewish homogeneity rooted in the past. Re’ee focuses on ʿOzeri’s cinematic performance against the background of south Tel Aviv\, revealing a twofold memory of loss\, both Mizrahi and Palestinian. ʿOzeri emerges as a singer who drew on multiple resources of mourning positioned across putative national and regional borders of urban and global Southern geographies. ʿOzeri is narrated not only as a child mourner but also as the last mourner\, in the face of progressive national time. Re’ee concludes by asking what is lost with the last mourner’s departure from the world\, when one loses the ability to recognize one’s own loss through its reflection in the other’s ruins. Re’ee will be joined by respondent Tamar Sella.\n\nRe’ee Hagay is a cultural theorist and ethnographer of Mizrahi aesthetics and a PhD student in Near Eastern Studies at Cornell University. His work focuses on time\, mourning\, and globalization in Mizrahi popular culture. Work in progress includes “From Silence to Silence: (In)Audible Limits of a Transnational Dialogue” about the relationship between Edward Said\, Daniel Barenboim\, and Richard Wagner\; and\, with Jonathan Boyarin\, a bibliographical essay on the Jewish diaspora.\n\nTamar Sella received her PhD in Ethnomusicology in May 2020 from Harvard University\, where she is also currently a Visiting Fellow in Music. Her work cuts across sound and performance studies\, feminist and queer theory\, and Jewish history. Her dissertation\, “Resonant Ancestors: Arab Jewish Memory on the Israeli Stage\,” which she is currently revising into a book for publication\, explores the negotiations of ancestral memories in contemporary performance by Mizrahi Jews in Israel/Palestine toward reimagining decolonial and diasporic futures. Tamar’s own ancestors are Jews from Poland\, Ukraine\, and Yemen\, and she grew up moving between Israel and the U.S. As an organizer\, writer\, and sometimes performer\, Tamar also has a secondary area in American music\, where she examines aesthetics in jazz and improvised music in relation to gender and race formations.\n\nAdvance Registration Required: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUpcO-tpzgsH9EX2CisvejcAVFF9breWDVr UID:82313-21066622@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82313 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Jewish Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240116T141648 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210317T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210317T123000 SUMMARY:Well-being:North Campus Mindfulness Meditation Drop-In (Online) DESCRIPTION:Take a moment to create some space to breathe and invite a sense of calm into your day.

Prior work on stress in couples has primarily focused on understanding situations in which one partner is experiencing stress and the other partner is acting as the support provider\, such as when one partner is taking a big exam\, experiencing a chronic illness\, or undergoing a stressor in the lab. In real life\, however\, couples are likely to also experience stress simultaneously\, such as when two working parents have to juggle work\, kids\, and household duties. This concurrent stress creates potentially difficult situations in which both partners need to receive and provide support. In this talk\, I present data on the role of concurrent stress in romantic relationships both before and during the pandemic. I also present a novel lab paradigm designed to help us understand how couples actually navigate these potential pain points in relationships.

First\, we estimate the elasticity of consumption with respect to income using an instrument based on firm-wide changes in monthly pay. While much of the consumption-smoothing literature uses variation in unusual windfall income\, this instrument captures the temporary income variation that households typically experience. In addition\, because it can be constructed for every worker in every month\, it allows for more\nprecision than most previous estimates. We implement this approach in administrative bank account data and find an average elasticity of 0.23\, with a standard error of 0.01. This increased precision also allows us\nto address an open question about the extent of heterogeneity by wealth in the elasticity. We find a much lower consumption response for high-liquidity households\, which may help discipline structural consumption\nmodels.\nSecond\, we use this instrument to study how wealth shapes racial inequality. An extensive body of work documents a substantial racial and ethnic wealth gap. However\, less is known about how this gap translates\ninto differences in welfare on a month-to-month basis. We combine our instrument for typical income volatility with a new dataset linking bank account data with race and Hispanicity. We find that black (Hispanic) households cut their consumption 50 (20) percent more than white households when faced with a similarly-sized income shock. Nearly all of this differential pass-through of income to consumption is explained in a statistical sense by differences in liquid wealth. Combining our empirical estimates with a model\, we show that temporary income volatility has a substantial welfare cost for all groups. Because of racial disparities in consumption smoothing\, the cost is at least 50 percent higher for black households and 20 percent higher for Hispanic households than it is for white households.\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:82207-21052542@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82207 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201212T141630 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210317T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210317T153000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Building the Border: The United States\, the British Empire\, and Native Nations of the Great Lakes\, 1796-1812 DESCRIPTION:Study group leader Jonathan Quint\, University of Michigan Department of History PhD candidate and Clements Library Intern\, will discuss his research on how the ordinary people of the Detroit River region experienced the imposition of the U.S.- Canadian border in 1796 and his work with the Clements and UM faculty to create instructional activities that connect students with the archives.\nThis study group will meet Wednesday March 17.

Yet the current drug-discovery approach is unable to screen the astronomical number of possible combinations in different cell types and does not account for the complex environment inside the body. We have developed AI tools - INDIGO and MAGENTA - that predict the efficacy of drug combinations based on the properties of the drugs\, the pathogen\, and the infection environment. We are also using modeling to identify drugs that work in synergy with the host immune system. Using INDIGO and MAGENTA\, we have identified highly synergistic combinations of repurposed drugs to treat drug resistant infections including Tuberculosis\, the deadliest bacterial infection. INDIGO also accurately predicts the outcome of past clinical trials of drug combinations. Our ultimate goal is to create a personalized approach to treat infections using AI.\n* * *\nBiography: Chandrasekaran received his bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology from Anna University in 2008\, and a PhD in Biophysics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2013.

His lab develops systems biology algorithms for drug discovery. Computer models from his lab like INDIGO and MAGENTA are being used to design effective therapies against drug resistant pathogens. His lab also develops systems biology algorithms to understand metabolic regulation. The approaches that they have created (PROM\, ASTRIX\, DFA\, EGEM and GEMINI) perform complementary functions in modeling of metabolic and regulatory networks. Chandrasekaran’s research has been published in Cell\, Genome Biology\, mBio\, and PNAS. For his work\, Chandrasekaran previously received the 2013 Harvard Junior Fellowship\, the 2011 Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) International Predoctoral Fellowship\, the 2014 William Milton Fund award\, 2018 UM Precision Health Investigator Award\, and the 2018 Distinguished Young Investigator Award from the AICHE COBRA society.\n\n\nhttps://umich-health.zoom.us/j/93929606089?pwd=SHh6R1FOQm8xMThRemdxTEFMWWpVdz09 UID:82825-21179592@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82825 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Cardiovascular,Chemistry,Discussion,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Engineering,Environment,Free,Human Genetics,Information and Technology,Learning Health Systems,Lecture,Life Science,Mathematics,Medicine,Pediatrics,Physics,Public Health,Research,Science,seminar,Structural Biology,Talk LOCATION:Off Campus Location - https://umich-health.zoom.us/j/93929606089?pwd=SHh6R1FOQm8xMThRemdxTEFMWWpVdz09 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210401T123038 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210317T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210317T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Day in the Life\, Entry Level DESCRIPTION:In this session\, you will hear first hand what it is like to work in our entry level positions in both the Clinical Development Division and the Laboratories Division at PPD.

New laboratory experiments are being commissioned to probe dark matter lighter than the proton mass\, but the signatures in these detectors rely crucially on the condensed matter properties of the detector material. I will survey the progress made in understanding existing detectors and designing future ones which operate in this unusual low-energy regime\, driven by an incredibly fruitful and rich collaboration between condensed matter physicists and particle physicists\, both theorists and experimentalists. I will describe a new approach which helps to identify novel condensed matter systems with optimal material properties for dark matter detection\, bridging high- and low-energy physics and ensuring that no stone is left unturned in the hunt for dark matter in the laboratory.\n UID:82569-21124010@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82569 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210301T170513 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210317T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210317T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Dr. Tressie McMillan Cottom on modern discourse DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation on modern discourse with Dr. Tressie McMillan Cottom\, moderated by Dr. Celeste Watkins-Hayes\, as they discuss the topics in her new book\, Thick\, including race\, gender\, inequality\, higher education access\, technology\, culture\, and more.\n\nRegister: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfyzakYT0aibwapQqK74sXtj2xVh7ZkqxS7zj82vEmk2SDcBA/viewform\n\nFrom the speaker's bio:\n\nDr. Tressie McMillan Cottom is an award-winning author\, researcher\, educator\, and cultural critic whose work has been recognized nationally and internationally for the urgency and depth of her incisive critical analysis of technology\, higher education\, class\, race\, and gender.\n\nThe foundation for Tressie’s first book\, Lower Ed: The Troubling Rise of For-Profit Colleges in the New Economy\, was formed by dissertation research for her doctorate from Emory University’s Laney Graduate School. In Lower Ed\, Tressie questions the fundamental narrative of American education policy. In 2019\, Tressie released Thick: and Other Essays. The collection has been described as “essential\,” and the Chicago Tribune calls Tressie\, “the author you need to read now.” Dorothy Roberts compares reading it to “holding a mirror to your soul and to that of America.” Thick was the winner of the Brooklyn Public Library Literary Prize and was a finalist for the 2019 National Book Award.\n\nTressie serves on dozens of academic and philanthropic boards and publishes widely on issues of inequality\, work\, higher education and technology. She is an associate professor in the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and Senior Research Fellow at the Center for Information\, Technology\, and Public Life (UNC). She was awarded the MacArthur Fellowship in 2020. \n\nTressie also co-hosts Hear to Slay with Roxane Gay\, a podcast with an intersectional perspective on celebrity\, culture\, politics\, art\, life\, love\, and more.

But what’s all the fuss about? Worldwide\, E-bikes are the fastest growing sector of the bike industry\, and there are several reasons for their rapid rise in appeal. We will look at what exactly is an E-bike and why they are so sought after with the Baby Boomer generation\, and among commuters\, businesses\, and municipalities.\n\nThere are so many different types of E-bikes on the market that it can be overwhelming to learn about them all. We will try to simplify it\, going over the fundamentals\, to see whether an E-bike might be right for you and how you should choose which type will suit you best.\n\nPresenters Jim Summers and Kim Mayes own and operate H.E.H. Human Electric Hybrids. They have been in the E-bike business for eight years. \n\nJim was a controls engineer\, cycling to work 20 miles each way when he built his first E-bike to make his commute easier. He immediately saw the potential for E-bikes to enable more people to ride a bike. He also envisioned a future when more people would replace car trips with bicycle trips. Jim started building E-bikes for others\, then left his engineering job in 2014 to sell E-bikes full time. Jim’s wife\, Kim\, joined him in the business in 2018.\n\nPreregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the presentation will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the event.
