By partnering with the Academic Data Science Alliance (ADSA) this year\, we leverage the reach of this national organization for data science and AI institutes in academia\, expand the scope of our Summit\, and bring together data science and AI leadership\, researchers and educators from around the country. Thus\, this event offers a unique opportunity for local attendees to interact with hundreds of attendees from other universities\, hear talks from leading experts\, and participate in sessions on data science and AI research\, education and societal impact. \n\nOverview:\nThis year’s Annual Meeting theme is: Data Science and AI – Keeping Humans in the Loop\nData has become the essential building block for research and insight in nearly all fields. The next wave of emerging technologies\, including artificial intelligence (AI)\, is fueled by the unprecedented amount and variety of available data. Data and data-enabled technologies promise to reshape research and discovery\, as well as how we live and how society functions. ADSA’24\, hosted by the Michigan Institute for Data Science\, will draw our focus to humanity in data and AI – humans as data producers and data engineers\, humans as AI designers and developers\, humans represented in data\, and humans as data and AI users and as the beneficiaries or victims of data and AI. We will explore the central role of humans in the data and AI revolution: to maximize its benefits for research and innovation\; to ensure that the use of data and technologies and the insights they generate are aligned with our values and priorities\; and to ensure that the future workforce are prepared to continue discovery and innovation.

The group’s name\, rummage\, evokes both a materiality and an intellectual practice characteristic of museum studies more broadly. On the one hand\, rummaging has a tactile quality. It gestures to the human role in how objects are placed and misplaced\, organized and disorganized\, thrown into juxtaposition\, and often randomly re-discovered anew by individuals negotiating various value systems associated with objects. It evokes an image of coming to objects of the past with new eyes and curiosity. On the other hand\, rummaging could also be used to describe an intellectual approach. In posing questions about the how and why certain narratives come to be exhibited and interpreted\, we root around historical understandings of heritage and the power dynamics that lead certain narratives to become dominant. This process is guided by curiosity\, a drive to understand\, and a skepticism of ordering systems.  UID:128047-21860099@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/128047 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:https://umich.zoom.us/j/97111697414 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240830T104618 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241031T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241031T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Guardians: Spirits of Protection DESCRIPTION:This fall\, the Residential College Art Gallery proudly presents Guardians: Spirits of Protection\, an exhibition of evocative figurative sculptures by renowned artist Ann Savageau. The exhibition will be on display from August 26 to November 2\, 2024.\n\nWe invite the university community and the general public to explore this moving collection that delves into themes of loss\, grief\, healing\, and protection. The seventeen life-size figures\, crafted from found objects and beach flotsam\, are a poignant response to the tragedies in Savageau’s life\, including the loss of her three children. Through this deeply personal and powerful work\, Savageau reimagines discarded materials as symbols of new life and resilience\, reflecting the healing power of art.\n\nAnn Savageau will be in residence in Ann Arbor and the Residential College from September 16-20 and October 20-25\, 2024. During her stay\, you are warmly invited to join us for a special artist reception on October 23\, from 4:30 to 6:00 pm in the Gallery. Prior to the reception\, there will be an artist's talk in the Keene Theater at 3:30 pm\, where Savageau will share insights into her creative process and the inspiration behind Guardians.\n\nAnn Savageau\, a former Studio Art instructor at the Residential College from 1978 to 2002\, is not only an artist but also an activist and educator. Her contributions to the Prison Creative Arts Project\, where she taught a weekly art workshop at Jackson Prison for four years\, showcase her commitment to using art as a tool for social change.\n\nDon't miss this opportunity to witness the transformative impact of Savageau's work and engage with her during her residency. We look forward to seeing you at the RC Art Gallery.\n\nImportant Dates:\n\nExhibition: August 26 – November 2\, 2024\nArtist's Talk: October 23\, 2024\, at 3:30 pm\, RC Keene Theater\nArtist Reception: October 23\, 2024\, from 4:30 – 6:00 pm\, RC Art Gallery UID:125338-21854824@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/125338 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,artists,artists and curators,arts,arts at michigan,Arts Initiative,Community,Community Engagement LOCATION:East Quadrangle - RC Art Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241205T123531 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241031T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241031T100000 SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:Lifetime Fitness for Senior Adults DESCRIPTION:Lifetime Fitness classes are offered at Briarwood Mall in the JCPenney wing.

Since 2004\, Glazer has been lead faculty and head of ceramics at Henry Ford College\, and former faculty of Concord College (WV) and North Dakota State University. His artwork has been exhibited throughout the country.\n\nThroughout his adult life the art of Steve Glazer has been done as a response to his environment. From a series of shadow box type pieces containing life like ceramic fish while teaching at a Catholic woman’s college\, to building 8’ tall ceramic “skyscrapers” that barely fit into the display spaces while teaching in North Dakota\, where no skyscrapers exist\, and then creating installations commenting on living in Appalachia while teaching in southern West Virginia. After returning home to Detroit\, Glazer began his griot series\, the “Motor City Griot Society” masks\, the faces of the superheroes that will save Detroit\, and more recently the “Motor City Griot Patrol” creatures that will protect the city of Detroit.

She collects and arranges images\, builds and subtracts\, and uses processes that suit the concepts and gives the pieces a reason for existing as textiles. Simultaneously she strives to make the medium influence the outcome in such a way that cloth and image meld together. Moran uses silkscreen\, shibori\, and stitching to embed images from her daily walks into the fabric. it's important that the work builds slowly\, involving meditative processes that connect her to the cloth and the source of the design.\n\nGallery hours: Monday-Friday\, 9 am to 5pm or by appointment serrag@med.umich.edu UID:124224-21852725@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124224 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Art,Culture,Detroit,Exhibition,Free,Graduate Students,North Campus,Visual Arts LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Rotunda Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121550 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241031T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241031T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering DESCRIPTION:Welcome.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621430@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240829T144050 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241031T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241031T190000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:International Studies Horror Filmfest DESCRIPTION:It’s our annual Halloween spectacular\, where we screen frightening foreign-language movies from around the world!

At the core of unstructured environments is uncertainty. Failing to consider uncertainty can lead to downstream task failures with costly and even dangerous consequences.\n\nThere are many types of uncertainty that need to be considered for real-world systems in unstructured environments. In this dissertation\, I focus on uncertainty of in-hand object pose for objects grasped by a robotic system. If not addressed\, this type of uncertainty can lead to potential failures including grasp instability and unexpected or unreliable contacts made with the environment (including other robots\, objects\, or humans). These types of failures significantly impact task performance for applications including robotic tool use\, assembly\, object hand-over\, and human-robot interaction.\n\nThis dissertation makes several contributions to in-hand object pose estimation using proprioceptive and tactile feedback. Firstly\, I provide a proprioceptive method to estimate contact locations and in-hand object poses simultaneously in a bimanual system from single contact-rich interactions. Then\, I build upon this approach to connect several sequential actions in order to more precisely estimate in-hand object poses. Next\, I incorporate robot proprioception uncertainty with this proprioceptive in-hand object pose estimation framework to adapt to real-world challenges with configuration-dependent robot proprioception uncertainty. Finally\, I introduce the GelSlim 4.0 sensor\, a powerful visuotactile sensor that enables key tactile sensing capabilities like depth estimation and shear field estimation. With accessibility as an explicit design goal\, this sensor is accompanied by open-source manufacturing documentation that we user-tested with 17 novice users. In summary\, this dissertation contributes algorithms and hardware for robotic manipulation that leverage proprioceptive and tactile feedback to address uncertainty in in-hand object poses.

The exhibition highlights the significance of community-based conversations between mother and daughter\, and their ongoing conversations with elders (ancestors)\, young folx\, and future generations as vital aspects of their methodology. These conversations often take place during basket gatherings - where community members come together and share stories and teachings that can encompass Anishinaabe creation stories\, as well as those of survivance and resilience\, to inform the materiality and liveness of their work. The curatorial and interpretive framework of this exhibition contends that the deeply situated and temporal works by Church (Stamps\, BFA 1998) and Parrish (LSA\, BA 2020) are repositories for Anishinaabe ways of knowing\, thinking\, and making that contribute to the complexity of American art and its histories. The expansive and bold practices of Church and Parrish affirm the sovereignty of Anishinaabe lifeways and the importance of including Indigenous narratives that have systematically been left out. Thus\, the thematic survey of their work will explore the under-examined themes that inform their work such as Native women’s labor as carriers of culture and knowledge-keepers\, the legacy of boarding schools and ancestors who walked on\, the treaties in Michigan and the long-overlooked legacy of Anishinaabe intellectual life and their relevance today. Just like the practice of weaving and interlacing distinct strips of black ash to create one whole\, Church and Parrish will address the diverse and interconnected themes with approximately 30-35 works\, including 15-17 new works. Together\, the exhibition offers an incisive critique of the colonial\, racist paradigm of systemic erasure and assimilation that continues to this day\, with the ongoing crises of missing and murdered Indigenous women\, culture wars\, and climate change that threaten Indigenous ways of living\, sustenance\, and making. \nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra with Curatorial Assistant Zoi Crampton.\nStamps Gallery is grateful to Michigan Humanities and U-M Arts Initiative for generously supporting the exhibition and programs.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

To distinguish preferences over demographic composition from preferences over other venue characteristics\, we study venue choices within business chains. We find two notable regularities: racial homophily does not vary by income\, and preferences for high-income co-patrons are similar across racial groups. These demographic preferences are economically large\, explain much of the cross-group variation in exposure to high-income co-patrons\, and correlate with movers’ neighborhood choices.

To achieve this\, wearable devices must integrate a multimodal array of sensors that enable non-invasive\, continuous\, real-time monitoring\, have a long operational lifetime to gather meaningful long-term data\, and remain comfortable and flexible to ensure user adoption. The National Science Foundation-funded Center for Advanced Self-Powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies (ASSIST) is developing precisely such devices\, capable of continuous monitoring of personal environments and health. These capabilities are made possible by breakthroughs in power management\, low-power electronics\, and innovative health and environmental sensors\, all seamlessly integrated into wearable\, comfortable form factors. In this talk\, I will specifically focus on how advances in energy harvesting and sensor systems are making continuous monitoring a reality. Innovations in thermoelectric and piezoelectric harvesters\, catalyzed by optimized system design and flexible materials\, have enabled long-term operation of sensors for vigilant monitoring. Sensor advances in electronic-nose\, optical imaging and human health are providing a complete multi-modal picture into human health and its relationship environment. I will also present the applications that these sensor systems are enabling such as long-term sensing and effective management of chronic conditions\, sensing of personal exposure to air pollutants and toxins and longitudinal studies that provide new insight into correlation of various health and environmental parameters. I will also provide examples of translation of sensor systems and innovative education of the engineering pipeline enabled by the ecosystem associated with an NSF engineering research center.\n\nBio\n\nVeena Misra is the Department Head of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the M.C.

His research and teaching interests are at the interface of engineering\nmodeling\, statistical analysis\, and predictive analytics\, with particular emphasis on improving\noperations of complex manufacturing and other enterprise systems. He received the NSF\nCAREER award\, the IIE Transactions Best Paper Award\, the Technometrics Wilcoxon Prize\,\nand the Journal of Quality Technology Lloyd S. Nelson award. He has served as Editor-in-Chief\nof Technometrics and of the Journal of Quality Technology. He is a Fellow of the American\nStatistical Association and served as Chair of the Quality\, Statistics &\; Reliability Section of\nINFORMS and Director of the Manufacturing and Design Engineering Program at Northwestern.\n\n\nAbstract: For many supervised learning applications\, understanding and visualizing the effects\nof the predictor variables on the predicted response is of paramount importance. A shortcoming\nof black-box supervised learning models (e.g.\, complex trees\, neural networks\, boosted trees\,\nrandom forests\, nearest neighbors\, local kernel-weighted methods\, support vector regression\,\netc.) in this regard is their lack of interpretability or transparency. Partial dependence (PD) plots\,\nwhich are the most popular general approach for visualizing the effects of the predictors with\nblack box supervised learning models\, can produce erroneous results if the predictors are\nstrongly correlated\, because they require extrapolation of the response at predictor values that are\nfar outside the multivariate envelope of the training data. Functional ANOVA for correlated\ninputs can avoid this extrapolation but involves prohibitive computational expense and\nsubjective choice of additive surrogate model to fit to the supervised learning model. We present\na new visualization approach that we term accumulated local effects (ALE) plots\, which have a\nnumber of advantages over existing methods. First\, ALE plots do not require unreliable\nextrapolation with correlated predictors. Second\, they are orders of magnitude less\ncomputationally expensive than PD plots\, and many orders of magnitude less expensive than\nfunctional ANOVA. Third\, they yield convenient variable importance/sensitivity measures that\npossess a number of desirable properties for quantifying the impact of each predictor.

We propose Beat Pilot Tone (BPT)\, a simple serendipitous system exploitation that turns any MRI receiver chain into a radio frequency (RF) motion sensing system that can operate at arbitrary frequencies (up to several GHz). Our contact-free system can be implemented on any MRI scanner regardless of field strength. Through electromagnetic field simulations and experiments\, we explain BPT’s novel mechanism: two or more transmitted RF tones form motion-modulated standing wave patterns that are sensed by the same receiver coil arrays used for MR imaging. These waves are incidentally mixed by intermodulation and digitized simultaneously to the MRI data. BPT achieves an order of magnitude greater sensitivity to motion than other methods in detecting and separating common motion types (respiratory\, bulk\, cardiac\, and head motion) in volunteers. Moreover\, BPT offers tunable sensitivity to motion based on the transmit frequencies\; at microwave frequencies\, BPT can detect millimeter-scale vibrations (ballistocardiograms). With multiple antennas and frequency-multiplexing\, BPT can operate as a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system. BPT significantly expands the capability of any MRI system\, paving the way toward multi-modality\, motion-robust\, and simultaneous RF and MR imaging.\n\nBio:\nMichael (Miki) Lustig is a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley.

One possible mechanism for this process is a quasar’s outflow\, which can be observed as blueshifted absorption troughs in the quasar’s spectrum. With enough kinetic power\, an outflow can contribute to AGN feedback\, regulating star formation and host galaxy evolution. Analyzing the troughs of outflows found in ultraviolet spectra of quasars\, observed both from the ground and in space\, can reveal their physical characteristics\, as well as their potential ability to contribute to feedback effects.\n\nDavid’s Title: Exploring Ultra-Compact X-Ray Binaries with Reflection Modeling\n\nLow mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) are X-ray sources which contain a compact object such as a black hole (BH) or neutron star (NS) accreting material from a stellar companion. A subclass of LMXB called ultra compact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) contain a degenerate stellar companion such as a white dwarf (WD)\, resulting in a much shorter orbital period. We study one UCXB candidate and one verified UCXB using a process called reflection modeling\, wherein the X-ray spectrum is modeled with components representing both direct emission and emission that is reprocessed by the accretion disk. This process can allow us to better understand the geometry and behavior of accreting systems\, with UCXBs probing high energy accretion on some of the smallest size scales.

Prof. Schmitt uses behavioral ecology\, morphometric\, and multiple -omics methods to study mechanistic and adaptive aspects of these questions in two non-human primate models: savanna monkeys (Chlorocebus spp.)\, and woolly monkeys (Lagothrix spp.). His work with Chlorocebus demonstrates that there are both heritable and epigenetic components to developmental patterns that help us to better understand the interplay between extremes in resource quality and energetics\, life history\, and metabolic disease. His developing work on Lagothrix expands the use of portable genomics technologies to delve into how diet\, sociality\, and genetic variation interact to enable the energetics of high-elevation living while also potentially constraining climatic adaptability.

This whole tale of the tail started in Ann Arbor\, many many years ago. Explaining the embarrassment of our failure to find such estimates for so many years is the main reason for our talk. As we had to learn for our task\, such tail estimates are intimately connected with conditional thinning ensembles from random matrix theory\, and nonlocal versions of the so-called Painlevé equations. The unraveling of such connections was a parallel task that we had to overcome\, together with many other colleagues\, and led to interesting phenomena that we hadn't anticipated with our original question. During our talk\, we plan to go through such developments as well.\n\nThe talk is mostly based on joint works with Promit Ghosal (University of Chicago)\, but partially also in works in preparation with Tom Claeys (UC Louvain)\, Leslie Molag (Universidad Carlos III) and Lun Zhang (Fudan University).

Overcoming the West Nile Virus\, which left her partially paralyzed\, Ferris demonstrates remarkable resilience and dedication in her intricate cross-hatching and emotionally charged illustrations.\nMy Favorite Thing Is Monsters intertwines a coming-of-age story with a murder mystery and a historical reflection on the Holocaust. Through young Karen Reyes\, Ferris delves into themes of identity\, fear\, and the complexities of humanity. Her art\, inspired by horror magazines and pulp fiction\, juxtaposes the grotesque and the beautiful\, fostering empathy and understanding.\n\nFerris challenges the boundaries of graphic literature\, using the medium to address complex social issues and personal histories. Her work confronts internal and external monsters\, revealing profound truths about the human experience. By pushing the limits of graphic novels\, Ferris elevates the form to explore deeper narratives and emotional landscapes\, inviting readers into a world where art and story are inseparable.\n\nFerris's contributions extend beyond her graphic novels. In April 2022\, Ferris was reported among the more than three dozen comics creators who contributed to Operation USA's benefit anthology book\, Comics for Ukraine: Sunflower Seeds\, a project spearheaded by editor Scott Dunbier\, whose profits would be donated to relief efforts for Ukrainian refugees resulting from the February 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.\n\nMy Favorite Thing is Monsters has been translated into French\, Italian\, Portuguese\, Spanish\, German\, and Korean. It has been honored with numerous awards\, among them: The Lambda Literary Award\, multiple Eisners\, the Ignatz\, and the Fauve d’or at the Angouleme Festival\, France.\n\nFerris has exhibited her art extensively in the US and Europe\, and prior to the pandemic she was honored to teach classes at the Louvre.\n\nPresented in partnership with the U-M Library\, Vault of Midnight\, and the Ann Arbor District Library. This project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan. Series presenting partners: Detroit PBS and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Radio.

The exhibition will be on display from August 26 to November 2\, 2024.\n\nWe invite the university community and the general public to explore this moving collection that delves into themes of loss\, grief\, healing\, and protection. The seventeen life-size figures\, crafted from found objects and beach flotsam\, are a poignant response to the tragedies in Savageau’s life\, including the loss of her three children. Through this deeply personal and powerful work\, Savageau reimagines discarded materials as symbols of new life and resilience\, reflecting the healing power of art.\n\nAnn Savageau will be in residence in Ann Arbor and the Residential College from September 16-20 and October 20-25\, 2024. During her stay\, you are warmly invited to join us for a special artist reception on October 23\, from 4:30 to 6:00 pm in the Gallery. Prior to the reception\, there will be an artist's talk in the Keene Theater at 3:30 pm\, where Savageau will share insights into her creative process and the inspiration behind Guardians.\n\nAnn Savageau\, a former Studio Art instructor at the Residential College from 1978 to 2002\, is not only an artist but also an activist and educator. Her contributions to the Prison Creative Arts Project\, where she taught a weekly art workshop at Jackson Prison for four years\, showcase her commitment to using art as a tool for social change.\n\nDon't miss this opportunity to witness the transformative impact of Savageau's work and engage with her during her residency.

Since 2004\, Glazer has been lead faculty and head of ceramics at Henry Ford College\, and former faculty of Concord College (WV) and North Dakota State University. His artwork has been exhibited throughout the country.\n\nThroughout his adult life the art of Steve Glazer has been done as a response to his environment. From a series of shadow box type pieces containing life like ceramic fish while teaching at a Catholic woman’s college\, to building 8’ tall ceramic “skyscrapers” that barely fit into the display spaces while teaching in North Dakota\, where no skyscrapers exist\, and then creating installations commenting on living in Appalachia while teaching in southern West Virginia. After returning home to Detroit\, Glazer began his griot series\, the “Motor City Griot Society” masks\, the faces of the superheroes that will save Detroit\, and more recently the “Motor City Griot Patrol” creatures that will protect the city of Detroit.

However\, ML has a strong ontology - in which only the data exist - and a strong epistemology - in which a model is considered good if it performs well on held-out training data. These philosophies are in strong conflict with both standard practices and key philosophies in the natural sciences. I identify some locations for ML in the natural sciences at which the ontology and epistemology are valuable. I also show that there are contexts in which the introduction of ML introduces strong\, unwanted statistical biases. My partial answers I provide (to the question in my title) come from the particular perspective of physics.\n\nWork in collaboration with Soledad Villar at JHU.\n\nhttps://cosmo.nyu.edu/hogg/ UID:124546-21853173@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124546 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241007T143748 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241101T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241101T110000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:UM Structure Seminar: Structural Characterization of Human Membrane Cytochrome P450 2J2 DESCRIPTION:Graduate Student\nEmily Scott Lab UID:127494-21859215@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/127494 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Structural Biology LOCATION:Life Sciences Institute - LSI Library CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241101T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241101T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices.

The exhibition highlights the significance of community-based conversations between mother and daughter\, and their ongoing conversations with elders (ancestors)\, young folx\, and future generations as vital aspects of their methodology. These conversations often take place during basket gatherings - where community members come together and share stories and teachings that can encompass Anishinaabe creation stories\, as well as those of survivance and resilience\, to inform the materiality and liveness of their work. The curatorial and interpretive framework of this exhibition contends that the deeply situated and temporal works by Church (Stamps\, BFA 1998) and Parrish (LSA\, BA 2020) are repositories for Anishinaabe ways of knowing\, thinking\, and making that contribute to the complexity of American art and its histories. The expansive and bold practices of Church and Parrish affirm the sovereignty of Anishinaabe lifeways and the importance of including Indigenous narratives that have systematically been left out. Thus\, the thematic survey of their work will explore the under-examined themes that inform their work such as Native women’s labor as carriers of culture and knowledge-keepers\, the legacy of boarding schools and ancestors who walked on\, the treaties in Michigan and the long-overlooked legacy of Anishinaabe intellectual life and their relevance today. Just like the practice of weaving and interlacing distinct strips of black ash to create one whole\, Church and Parrish will address the diverse and interconnected themes with approximately 30-35 works\, including 15-17 new works. Together\, the exhibition offers an incisive critique of the colonial\, racist paradigm of systemic erasure and assimilation that continues to this day\, with the ongoing crises of missing and murdered Indigenous women\, culture wars\, and climate change that threaten Indigenous ways of living\, sustenance\, and making. \nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra with Curatorial Assistant Zoi Crampton.\nStamps Gallery is grateful to Michigan Humanities and U-M Arts Initiative for generously supporting the exhibition and programs.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

The importance of this fabric can be seen in the surviving material culture of this ancient civilization\, such as the representations of figures wearing bright white linen garments in tomb paintings and intricately wrapped and carefully shrouded mummified bodies. However\, unraveling the lives of the people involved in the production of these textiles is quite challenging\, as these individuals are relatively invisible in the historical and archaeological record. One way to approach this problem is to examine the textiles they created with their own hands. Each thread that was spun and woven was created by communities of practice\, which—through a process of situated learning—developed a shared repertoire of techniques\, skills\, and preferences. When we look at a handmade textile\, whether ancient or modern\, we are seeing the results of the countless choices made in each stage of its production. \n\nIn this Flash Talk\, Heidi Hilliker (PhD candidate in Egyptology) investigates a collection of mortuary textiles from Theban tombs of 21st and 22nd Dynasty Egypt\, evaluating local similarities and differences in textile production. The textiles in question\, which come from tombs at Deir el-Bahari and Bab el-Gasus\, display striped patterns in undyed\, blue\, and red thread along the selvage (the vertical edge of the cloth formed during the weaving process). While these patterns undoubtedly served a decorative purpose\, this talk argues that they also conveyed information about the makers themselves. A communities-of-practice approach suggests that these striped markings encapsulate the traditions learned within a network of weavers and may even represent intentional forms of maker’s marks used by workshops\, groups\, or individual weavers.\n\nKelsey Museum Flash Talks are 15-minute Zoom lectures by Kelsey curators\, staff members\, researchers\, graduate students\, and guests talking about their recent research or current projects.

Lay Auto Lab and\n\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/97823527756?pwd=H01BbvtuG5q02Wzb8LJvhUnvijlAIe.1\n\nAbstract: Cell reprogramming\, the transformation of a cell from one cell type to another through the introduction of exogenous transcription factors (TFs)\, is a rapidly developing research area that could lead to groundbreaking therapeutic technologies in areas such as tissue regeneration\, disease modeling\, and personalized medicine. However\, there still exist many challenges obstructing its practical viability. Discovering which TFs induce reprogramming requires a combinatorial search\, and testing a single\ncandidate set of TFs experimentally can cost tens of thousands of dollars and take multiple months. Moreover\, even when an effective set of TFs is known\, cell conversion efficiency lies only around 5%.\n\nFaced with these challenges\, researchers have developed computational surrogate models to rapidly explore the TF search space at a fraction of the cost of wet lab experimentation. Unfortunately\, these models have seen limited success in practice due to the difficulty of capturing the complex gene-gene\ninteractions within the cell\, most of which are still not well-understood. With the recent high-profile rise of transformer-based foundation models for natural language\, researchers are now turning to the transformer to push past current performance limitations in a wide range of digital biology tasks\, including cell reprogramming. Of particular interest in these models is the attention mechanism\, which is potentially well-suited for capturing long-range gene-gene interactions at a higher fidelity than previously possible. In this talk\, I will describe how the transformer architecture has been adapted for cellular biology and analyze the utility of one such model\, Geneformer\, in identifying TFs for cell reprogramming. Specifically\, I will present the results of an in silico perturbation experiment for reprogramming fibroblast cells to hematopoietic stem cells and compare the outcomes to experimental results found in the literature. I will conclude the talk with a discussion of the drawbacks and limitations of the Geneformer model and provide an assessment of what will be needed in the future for digital biology to fully reap the benefits of large-scale foundation models.\n\nBio:\nNick Galioto is a second-year postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics at the University of Michigan (UM). He received his PhD at UM in aerospace engineering in 2023 under the advising of Alex Gorodetsky and remained in the lab for an additional year as a postdoc. In the Gorodetsky lab\, Nick researched how to use stochastic models of dynamical systems to improve system identification. Now\, Nick works in the Rajapakse lab researching how to create data-driven models of the dynamics of cell reprogramming.

By the end of World War II\, Nazis and collaborators had succeeded in killing over 90% of Poland’s Jewish population\, about three million people. Most survivors emigrated\, but an estimated 90\,000 remained – only to be expelled in large numbers through an antisemitic\, government-run campaign in 1968. \n\nTraces of both the vibrant Jewish community that once lived in Poland – and the violence that killed and expelled so many of them – are visible in today’s contemporary Polish landscape: synagogues that are now furniture stores\, doorframes that once held mezuzot\, overgrown Jewish cemeteries. The Galicia Jewish Museum\, located in Kazimierz\, the pre-Holocaust heart of the Kraków Jewish Community\, exhibits photographs of these traces. In doing so\, the museum aims to complicate a narrative of Polish Jewish history that usually begins and ends solely with Auschwitz. \nIn this talk\, I share some of my experiences interning at the Galicia Jewish Museum this summer. Drawing on my experience giving tours of the museum’s permanent exhibition and working in the museum’s education department\, I’ll discuss the tangles of remembering the Holocaust in Poland and the complex landscape of Jewish institutions in Kraków. Institutions like the Galicia Jewish Museum\, I’ll argue\, offer us an opportunity to reflect on the politics of memory museums\, urban museology\, and the decisions that face those who live among traces of genocidal violence.

These beads are still used in East Africa and other regions. However\, the only well-documented ethnographic records of their manufacture come from the San and Bakgalagadi communities in the Kalahari region of southern Africa. Despite this\, some aspects of their social significance remain largely unexplored.\n\nHistorically\, research on ostrich eggshell beads in southern Africa has focused mainly on their use in exchange contexts\, with less emphasis on their role in bodily adornment or the social contexts of their manufacture and consumption. This talk reports on the production process of ostrich eggshell beads and their cultural significance among the El Molo community of Marsabit County\, Kenya.\n\nUndertaken as part of the British Museum’s Endangered Materials Knowledge Program (EMKP)\, this project utilized unstructured interviews\, participatory videos\, photography\, and note-taking to document the entire process of ostrich eggshell bead manufacture. It also examined the social significance of the different types of necklaces made from these beads within the community.

Results from computer simulations and experiments are presented that explore dynamic associations ranging from clusters to condensates. From atomistic simulations and extensive comparisons with experimental data\, cluster formation involving proteins is identified as a major determinant of slowed-down diffusion at high concentration depending on protein interaction strength but also contact life times. Results from coarse-grained simulations with the recently developed COCOMO model explore charge-driven condensation involving different systems ranging from globular proteins and RNA to short peptides and RNA fragment and condensates composed of intrinsically disordered peptides. Finally\, recent results form atomistic simulations of condensates are presented to discuss molecular densities and dynamics inside biomolecular condensates.

To safeguard their employment outcomes\, the popular press\, policymakers\, and college administrators emphasize the importance of “practical majors” as an avenue to professional success for students. Major Trade-Offs delves into the internship and early employment experiences of students from four majors to investigate the organizational and cultural infrastructure that underlies practical arts majors’ initial labor market advantages over liberal arts graduates. Drawing on almost 200 longitudinal interviews\, Corey Moss-Pech shows that students with more “practical” degrees often easily enter the labor market through structured internship programs and they find entry-level jobs that are highly paid. However\, these jobs mostly involve mundane clerical tasks not drawing on graduates’ major-specific skills. Those who studied the liberal arts\, on the other hand\, often don’t have access to such internships\, struggle to enter the labor market\, and land in jobs that rarely pay a middle-class wage but do meaningfully draw on their major-specific skills. These differences reflect intersectional inequality\, as White middle-class men are more likely to occupy lucrative majors than women and men from less privileged backgrounds. Major Trade-Offs demonstrates the key advantages to vocational majors lie not in learning technical skills\, but in smooth labor market entry\, a finding that undermines how both academics and stakeholders think about the utility of college disciplines and the skills they teach. Moss-Pech lays out a new vision for the college-to-work transition\, making valuable contributions to our pressing national conversation about the value of higher education in society.

This talk will share some recent and ongoing attempts to visualize and understand the current political landscape\, as well as some quantitative patterns in political psychology and the modern information ecosystem. These recently-gathered data inform a mechanistic dynamical model of ideological drift\, allowing theory to extrapolate the complex implications of micro-scale data to macro-scale outcomes---while iteratively improving and suggesting further data-gathering efforts to corner remaining uncertainty. The first waves of results from this perspective provide some remarkable insights\, providing some hope of understanding and productively informing political messaging and algorithmic design for a more reasonable political future.

It consists of hundreds of archival boxes with thousands of documents and reveals the activities of a multinational business group across the globe\, with companies in four continents (Europe\, Asia\, Africa and America) and 14 countries (Greece\, France\, Monaco\, Germany\, Norway\, Sweden\, United Kingdom\, Argentina\, Uruguay\, Panama\, Honduras\, United States\, Saudi Arabia and Liberia)\; its construction and classification breaks new ground in Business History internationally.\n\nGelina Harlaftis is Director\, Institute for Mediterranean Studies Foundation of Research and Technology-Hellas\, Professor of History of Maritime History\, University of Crete UID:126403-21857093@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/126403 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Classical Studies,Graduate Students,Lecture,Modern Greek LOCATION:Michigan League - Michigan Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241002T092336 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241101T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241101T163000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Sociocultural Anthropology Colloquium | \"Suspicion as Care: Reportage and Accusation in Perú’s Community Mental Health Reform\" DESCRIPTION:\"Perú initiated the implementation of a Community Mental Health model in 2016 after decades of reports about human rights violations in asylums. Now\, clients are being deinstitutionalized from psychiatric hospitals and transitioned back to their households. However\, this reform has been met with an unexpected increase in mutual suspicion as well as practices of supervision and accusation that challenge two assumptions: that there is a community\, and that care can be performed there.\n\nIn this talk\, I explore how the Community Mental Health model and the process of psychiatric deinstitutionalization are transforming the everyday lives of residents of Ciudad Norte\, an impoverished district located at the outskirts of Lima\, where the reform started. Drawing on 18 months (2021-2022) of ethnographic fieldwork\, I evidence how this reform is not a withdrawal from the state\, but a series of interventions that recalibrate residents’ subjectivities. Residents are encouraged to report neighbors’ behaviors that might indicate a mental health problem or poor care for the mentally ill\, blurring the lines between truth and rumor\, care and coercion\, informing on and helping out. These practices of reportage and accusation—that I call suspicion as care—are informed by the mental health reform\, the legacies of political violence in the 1980s\, the Fujimori dictatorship in the 1990s\, and the global health enterprise.\"\n\nJulio Villa-Palomino is an anthropologist of mental health working at the intersections of Latin American studies and Surveillance studies. He received his Ph.D. from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and is currently a fellow in the University of Michigan Society of Fellows.\n\nJulio’s research explores Perú’s transition from mental health care in psychiatric hospitals to a Community Mental Health model. His work has been funded by the National Science Foundation\, the Wenner-Gren Foundation\, and the Society for Psychological Anthropology. Julio's public-facing and community-oriented work has resulted in the implementation of a job support program for people diagnosed with severe mental illness\, the creation of a digital platform for mental health advocacy\, and collaboration with Peru's National Institute of Mental Health.

For example\, in the work of Deligne and Illusie\, an infinitesimal liftability was a key ingredient for studying the degeneration of Hodge to de Rham spectral sequence. In this talk\, we will discuss a particular type of lifting of varieties where we also lift the Frobenius morphism. This “Frobenius lift” has quite strong cohomological consequences\, so we expect this to be rare. In fact\, a conjecture of Achinger\, Witaszek and Zdanowicz predicts that smooth projective varieties with Frobenius lifts are roughly built out of toric varieties and abelian varieties\, and we will illustrate this conjecture by examples.

The corresponding Higgs category (in the sense of Yilin Wu) categorifies the cluster algebra (with non invertible boundary coefficients) associated to the surface by Fomin--Shapiro--Thurston. In recent work\, Merlin Christ has given a completely different description of this category as the \"1-periodic topological Fukaya category\". He obtains it by simplifying Haiden-Katzarkov-Kontsevich's construction of the topological Fukaya category associated with the surface. Our aim is to present Christ's construction and\, if time permits\, the ongoing project of extending it to cluster algebras appearing in higher Teichmuller theory.

As such\, scholars across disciplines have been devoted to investigating how race and ethnicity feature in every aspect of social and political life. The purpose of I-REP (Interdisciplinary Workshop in Race\, Ethnicity and Politics) is to provide a space for scholars whose research centers race\, ethnicity and politics across a number of fields to receive critical feedback on the early stages of their work (especially graduate students)\, build community with other researchers who share similar interests and offer an opportunity for participants to collaborate on a joint research project within the working group.

His work includes landslide detection and assessment with remote sensing data and Machine Learning. He is also serving as Chair of the Young Engineering Geologist committee and Vice President of the International Association for Engineering Geology.\n\nAbstract: \nNatural hazards and climate change are intricately linked\, with shifting climatic patterns exacerbating the frequency and intensity of natural hazards such as landslides\, floods\, and storms. As these threats grow in scale and unpredictability\, assessing their impacts and developing mitigation strategies has become a critical challenge for ensuring the resilience of communities and ecosystems. The research explores the evolving landscape of natural hazards and climate change\, emphasizing advancements in scientific methodologies\, technological innovations\, and interdisciplinary approaches. Addressing the critical need for proactive assessment strategies\, the study highlights the integration of remote sensing\, geospatial analysis\, and predictive geological modeling to enhance hazard mapping and assessment. By fostering a deeper understanding of dynamic environmental processes and their interactions\, this research aims to contribute to more effective strategies for sustainable development and disaster preparedness in a rapidly changing world.

Bjarke defines architecture as the art and science of making sure our cities and buildings fit with the way we want to live our lives. Through careful analysis of local culture and climate\, the ever-changing patterns of contemporary life\, and the ebbs and flows of the global economy\, Bjarke believes in the idea of information-driven design as the driving force for his creative process.\n\nNamed one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by Time Magazine in 2016\, Bjarke has designed and completed award-winning buildings globally. Bjarke was appointed Knight of the French Order des Arts et des Lettres and the Knight’s Cross of the Order of Dannebrog in 2019 and 2018\, respectively. In 2021\, he was selected as an ambassador of the EU’s New European Bauhaus. He was named an Honorary Fellow by the AIA in 2020\, the RIBA in 2015 and the RAIC in 2014. The Wall Street Journal recognized Bjarke as Innovator of the Year in 2011\, the same year he received the Danish Crown Prince’s Culture Prize. Bjarke was also awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in 2004 and the ULI Award for Excellence in 2009. Alongside his architectural practice\, Bjarke has taught at Harvard University\, Yale University\, Columbia University and Rice University and is an honorary professor at the Royal Academy of Arts\, School of Architecture in Copenhagen. He is a frequent public speaker and continues to hold lectures in venues such as TED\, WIRED\, AMCHAM\, 10 Downing Street\, the World Economic Forum and many more.\n\nThis memorial lecture was established to recognize John Dinkeloo’s extraordinary contributions to architecture and commemorate excellence in architectural design. This annual lecture celebrates those designers whose work combines design excellence with structural ingenuity.

The complex is homotopic to a wedge of spheres\, and bear some similarities with spherical buildings\, though it is not a building. While the topology of this complex prevent a CAT(0) metric on it\, we show that it contains large pieces supporting equivariant non-positive curvature metric. As an application\, we deduce new results on the K(pi\,1) conjecture for several classes of Artin groups.

Celebrated for their daring balancing acts hundreds of feet in the air while constructing iconic landmarks\, Kanien’keha:ka ironworkers have made a distinct impact on New York City since the 1920s. As their fame grew worldwide in the second half of the twentieth century\, the “Mohawk ironworker” evolved into a mythical and allegorical figure in New York City folklore and a fantasy of the Western imagination.\n \nAssociate Professor Allan Downey will discuss this paper and associated animation which will illustrate the complex\, intersecting ways popular discourse on Indigenous ironworking has influenced contemporary perceptions of Indigenous masculinity. The project explores Indigenous narratives of this history as acts of community resurgence\, intellectual sovereignty\, and restoration that offers a markedly different interpretation of Indigenous history.\n\nAllan Downey is Dakelh\, Nak’azdli Whut’en\, Canada Research Chair in Indigenous History\, Nationhood\, and Self-Determination\, and Associate Professor of History and Indigenous Studies Department at McMaster University.

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21817953@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241115T181510 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241102T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241102T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Arbor Glyph DESCRIPTION:Arbor Glyph is an installation centered around a collective painting of trees\, created by Stamps students and activated by a colorful projection repurposing hand-painted elements and bringing them to life. The goal of the exhibition is to foster collaboration among student artists and engage the Stamps community\, encouraging participation through a student painting party earlier this month\, with a focus on inclusion\, expression\, and finding solace in local landscapes.The Student-led Exhibition Committee (SEC) is a newly-formed group of students\, faculty\, and staff\, aiming to create more opportunities for undergrads to exhibit on campus. Arbor Glyph follows their Winter 2024 salon-style exhibition L'Assemblage in the Stamps Art &\; Architecture Building\, further developing students' experience planning extracurricular exhibitions by showing in the Stamps Gallery\, and taking a new approach to creating/curating artwork.

The exhibition highlights the significance of community-based conversations between mother and daughter\, and their ongoing conversations with elders (ancestors)\, young folx\, and future generations as vital aspects of their methodology. These conversations often take place during basket gatherings - where community members come together and share stories and teachings that can encompass Anishinaabe creation stories\, as well as those of survivance and resilience\, to inform the materiality and liveness of their work. The curatorial and interpretive framework of this exhibition contends that the deeply situated and temporal works by Church (Stamps\, BFA 1998) and Parrish (LSA\, BA 2020) are repositories for Anishinaabe ways of knowing\, thinking\, and making that contribute to the complexity of American art and its histories. The expansive and bold practices of Church and Parrish affirm the sovereignty of Anishinaabe lifeways and the importance of including Indigenous narratives that have systematically been left out. Thus\, the thematic survey of their work will explore the under-examined themes that inform their work such as Native women’s labor as carriers of culture and knowledge-keepers\, the legacy of boarding schools and ancestors who walked on\, the treaties in Michigan and the long-overlooked legacy of Anishinaabe intellectual life and their relevance today. Just like the practice of weaving and interlacing distinct strips of black ash to create one whole\, Church and Parrish will address the diverse and interconnected themes with approximately 30-35 works\, including 15-17 new works. Together\, the exhibition offers an incisive critique of the colonial\, racist paradigm of systemic erasure and assimilation that continues to this day\, with the ongoing crises of missing and murdered Indigenous women\, culture wars\, and climate change that threaten Indigenous ways of living\, sustenance\, and making. \nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra with Curatorial Assistant Zoi Crampton.\nStamps Gallery is grateful to Michigan Humanities and U-M Arts Initiative for generously supporting the exhibition and programs.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621432@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240620T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241102T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241102T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

It was on their own\, however-following divergent paths through disparate musical traditions\, countries\, and cultures-that they both arrived as virtuosi and composers at the highest levels of contemporary string music. Fans of acoustic music can hardly mention one without referencing the other's work. With HAAS\, these singular musicians finally record together - in duo form - for the first time. It is a collaboration a lifetime in the making\, and a music encompassing travels through time and through the world From Nashville to Norway\, the Celtic Isles to California\, Natalie and Brittany have absorbed\, adapted\, and made their own world of music. The result? HAAS.\n\nNamed one of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch\,” Nic Gareiss (he/they) has been hailed by the New York Times for his “dexterous melding of Irish and Appalachian dance” and called “the most inventive and expressive step dancer on the scene” by the Boston Herald. Nic has earned numerous accolades including a Canadian Folk Music Award nomination for traditional singer of the year and the Michigan Heritage Award\, the state's highest distinction bestowed on traditional artists. Always jubilant\, often puckishly queer\, Nic Gareiss has emerged as one of the most beloved and singular performers of contemporary traditional dance and music.\n\nhttps://www.brittanyhaas.com/\nhttps://www.nataliehaas.com/\nhttps://www.nicgareiss.com/ UID:122148-21848375@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122148 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Concert,Music,Mutotix LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241028T181645 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241102T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241102T213000 SUMMARY:Performance:Xavier Perry\, voice DESCRIPTION:Undergraduate student Xavier Perry performs a recital.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621433@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241103T120004 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241103T111100 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241103T121100 SUMMARY:Other:H2O Sunday Service DESCRIPTION:Come join us for praise and worship with students and alumni from UoM at the Rackham Building (4th floor).

The original Broadway production opened at the Music Box Theatre in NYC (designed by the architect of the State Theatre\, C. Howard Crane) in December 1931. This concert-style production will shine a spotlight on the Gershwin brothers’ music and feature U-M faculty\, performers from U-M’s Musical Theater Program\, and a Broadway scale orchestra. Contemporary theater critic Charles Isherwood said\, \"the laughter that greets the show today is tinged with surprise at how eerily some of its jokes seem to take precise aim\, from decades back\, at current affair. A politician dismisses Abraham Lincoln's pronouncement about not being able to fool all of the people all the time by remarking: 'It's different nowadays. People are bigger suckers.' ...it serves as a sigh-inducing argument for the enduring follies of American politics.\" This very special election year presentation is one-night only.\n\nOF THEE I SING is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. www.concordtheatricals.com\n\nSponsored by Arbor Brewing\, Michigan Medicine\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the U-M Gershwin Initiative.

From a series of shadow box type pieces containing life like ceramic fish while teaching at a Catholic woman’s college\, to building 8’ tall ceramic “skyscrapers” that barely fit into the display spaces while teaching in North Dakota\, where no skyscrapers exist\, and then creating installations commenting on living in Appalachia while teaching in southern West Virginia. After returning home to Detroit\, Glazer began his griot series\, the “Motor City Griot Society” masks\, the faces of the superheroes that will save Detroit\, and more recently the “Motor City Griot Patrol” creatures that will protect the city of Detroit.

Moran uses silkscreen\, shibori\, and stitching to embed images from her daily walks into the fabric. it's important that the work builds slowly\, involving meditative processes that connect her to the cloth and the source of the design.\n\nGallery hours: Monday-Friday\, 9 am to 5pm or by appointment serrag@med.umich.edu UID:124224-21852729@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124224 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Art,Culture,Detroit,Exhibition,Free,Graduate Students,North Campus,Visual Arts LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Rotunda Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241017T160229 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241104T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241104T140000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:2024 First-Gen College Week Kickoff - Coffee and Snacks at the First-Gen Gateway DESCRIPTION:Kickoff the University of Michigan's First-Generation College Student Celebration Week with the Gateway!

These mental health utilization disparities have persisted for at least six decades. Neither evidence-based treatments nor culturally-adapted treatments adequately address the individual needs of people of color. People of color may not use mental health services because services are not: (a) personally relevant\; or (b) accessible. Our neuroscience data suggest that pragmatic\, problem-solving approaches are the most personally relevant for Asian Americans\, the least likely ethnic group to use mental health services. In this talk\, I discuss the development of the Mind Boba app to make psychotherapy more personally relevant and accessible to Asian Americans.\n\nAbout the speaker: Gordon Nagayama Hall is an Emeritus Professor of Psychology at the University of Oregon. Dr. Hall received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Fuller Theological Seminary. He started his career as a psychologist at Western State Hospital in Washington state. Dr. Hall later was a Professor of Psychology at Kent State University and Penn State University. He served as President of the American Psychological Association (APA) Society for the Psychological Study of Ethnic Minority Issues (Division 45) and as President of the Asian American Psychological Association. He was Editor of Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology. His textbook Multicultural Psychology is in its 4th Edition. Dr. Hall received the Lifetime Achievement Award from APA Division 45 and an APA Presidential Citation for his extraordinary leadership in advancing multicultural psychology. His research interests are in culture and mental health with a particular interest in Asian Americans. He currently has NIMH funding to develop the Mind Boba problem-solving therapy app for Asian Americans. Dr. Hall serves on the Board of Directors of the DisOrient Asian American Film Festival of Oregon.

While present axion dark matter search experiments are limited by quantum zero point noise\, new single microwave photon receivers based on superconducting qubits provide orders of magnitude noise reduction below the standard quantum limit. Using advanced quantum information processing techniques currently in development\, next generation experiments will be the first to deploy a rudimentary quantum computer as the front end for the readout electronics. Combined with recent advances in magnetic field-compatible microwave cavities\, these experiments will finally reach sensitivity to the predicted axion photon couplings over a decade in mass in the 10-100 micro-eV range.

However\, the presence and promise of anti-racism efforts are threatened by (1) policies and practices that are performative and culturally detached from the lived realities of marginalized social groups (e.g.\, racial/ethnic minorities) and (2) zero-sum claims that portray initiatives aimed at reducing systemic racism as benefitting marginalized social groups at the expense of more dominant social groups. Harnessing cultural psychological insights\, this talk explicitly addresses such threats. It provides empirical evidence that anti-racism efforts when driven by actionable change and imbued with meaningful cultural inclusion can yield dividends that are non-zero-sum— related to positive outcomes that are experienced among marginalized groups without costs to dominant groups. Across studies that leverage diverse methods\, anti-racism is examined as behaviors\, attitudes\, and policies (e.g.\, Black Lives Matter marches\, diversity curriculum practices). The talk highlights associations between anti-racism efforts and consequential life outcomes including social connectedness and polarization in social networks\, physical and mental well-being\, as well as intergenerational (infant) health and mortality. Holistically\, the talk presents findings that demonstrate the potential for societal thriving as positive outcomes are observed across social groups (e.g.\, among marginalized and dominant groups). It centers marginalized groups and underscores the importance of intergroup approaches for intervention strategies that are optimally positioned to realize more equitable outcomes. Theory and applied implications for minimizing and combating backlash to anti-racism efforts (e.g.\, book bans\, anti-diversity state policies) are discussed.\n\nThe RCGD Seminar Series on the Social Psychology of Systemic Racism meets Mondays from 3:30 to 5 at ISR Thompson 1430. When speaker permission is given\, events will be recorded and posted within a few weeks to YouTube.\n\nThe Social Psychology of Systemic Racism\nWhat are the points of connection between structures and individuals when we think about bias? In the Fall 2024 RCGD Seminar Series “The Social Psychology of Systemic Racism\,” an all-star lineup of behavioral and political psychologists will define what\, in their words\, makes systemic racism systemic\, and how extra-individual levels of analysis could be incorporated in social psychological theories and methods.\n\nGroup Dynamics Seminar Series\nThe Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. The seminar series runs every semester on a theme chosen by faculty organizer/s who are affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the Institute for Social Research. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent themes have included political polarization\, evolution and human behavior\, and cultural psychology.\n\nBio\nTiffany N. Brannon received her Ph.D. and M.A. in Social Psychology from Stanford University and her B.A. in Psychology from Florida International University. Her research examines socio-cultural identities in negatively stereotyped groups such as Latino/a/x and African Americans\; and she investigates the potential for these identities to serve as psychological resources— strengths that can facilitate a variety of individual and intergroup benefits. Her research has been published in top academic journals including Proceedings for the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS)\, Psychological Science\, American Psychologist\, the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology\, Social Issues and Policy Review\, and the Journal of Social Issues. She is a recipient of the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues’ (SPSSI) Otto Klineberg Intercultural and International Relations Award and Michele Alexander Early Career Award for Scholarship and Service.

When dispersion compensates for the large gradients induced by this initial data\, wave-breaking is often resolved by a dispersive shock wave (DSW). An active area of research is the investigation of quantitative features of DSWs in continuum models arising in physical applied mathematics. This talk leverages modern techniques to investigate solutions of the Riemann problem for a semi-discrete conservation law. The semi-discrete model is obtained by applying a first-order centered difference scheme to the spatial derivative of the Hopf equation. Solutions to the Riemann problem reveal a surprisingly elaborate set of solutions to this example system. In addition to discrete analogs of well-known dispersive hydrodynamic solutions—rarefaction waves (RWs) and DSWs—additional unsteady solution families and finite-time blow-up are observed and characterized. We will also compare the dynamics of the Riemann problem to an integrable discretization of the spatial derivative.\n\nEmail eblackst@umich.edu for the zoom link.

The two Brazilian artists propose that modernity\, insofar a systemic perpetuation of violence and domination\, is fundamental to understand decolonial theories that are built upon the idea of “desocultamento” or unhiding of diverse epistemologies\, grammars\, forms of social\, economic\, political and family organization\, and spirituality.\n\n“o modo superior da filosofia” is part of the “ATeliê voadOR Research Visibilization” project sponsored by the Secretaria de Cultura (Culture Ministry) of the State of Bahia through the Edital de Mobilidade Cultural and CAPES. The purpose of this project is to promote intercultural dialogue\, cooperation\, co-production\, exchange\, and collaboration between artists from Bahia\, Brazil\, and artists in other countries\, in addition to promoting the insertion of Bahia in the international circuit of art and culture.\n\n Djalma Thürler is a theater director\, dramaturge\, and interdisciplinary researcher with ATeliê voadOR Teatro in Salvador\, Bahia. He holds a PhD from Universidade Federal Fluminense (2006) and is a professor at the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA)\, where he researches queer language\, decolonial aesthetics\, and monstrous theatricalities with the NuCuS research group.\n \n Duda Woyda\, also affiliated with ATeliê voadOR Teatro\, is an actor and researcher. He holds a master’s and PhD in culture and society from UFBA and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in 2023.\n\nSponsors: Department of Romance Language and Literature\, Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, Department of American Culture\, and the Latino/a Studies Program.\n\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact lacs.office@umich.edu.

Driven by the gravitational pull of human connection\, her tendency towards exploration and collaboration have led her into countless niches\, each providing its own unique feather with which to decorate her distinct and ever-evolving sound.\n\nStarting as a young child picking up the fiddle for the first time\, Cortese has used these strings to tie herself to others\, forging connections across age\, genre\, and identity. After a Californian childhood filled with Celtic music camps\, Cortese went on to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston.\n\nHer early career explorations didn’t end with performance though. Cortese also co-founded the Boston Celtic Music Festival\, and later they Miles of Music Camp. The goal of this camp is not only to introduce these diverse musicians to new genres and musical catalogs\, but to build community and spark creativity. She has toured across the globe\, acting as an ambassador of American music on behalf of the US State Department by performing and teaching in India\, Kazakhstan\, Uzbekistan\, Bangladesh\, Estonia\, Greece\, Ukraine\, and Montenegro. Now\, she holds space and builds community for musicians in Belgium as the co-founder of the monthly Bright Lights Session in Ghent.\n\nAll of these threads have joined together\, culminating in her work leading the musicians’ collective known as Laura Cortese & the Dance Cards. Here\, she showcases all of her varied experience and expertise–as a master fiddler\, an instructor\, a leader\, and a musical collaborator–using it to craft a new sound from whole cloth: a nearly symphonic hybrid of countless traditions and influences\, full of layered vocal harmonies and rich interplays of virtuosic string instrumentation.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621434@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241029T100818 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241105T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241105T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:A Theory of How Workers Keep Up With Inflation DESCRIPTION:In this paper\, we develop a model that combines elements of modern macro labor theories with nominal wage rigidities to study the consequences of unexpected inflation surges on the labor market. The slow and costly adjustment of real wages within a match after a burst of inflation incentivizes workers to engage in job-to-job transitions. Such dynamics after a surge in inflation lead to a rise in aggregate vacancies relative to unemployment\, associating a seemingly tight labor market with lower average real wages. Calibrating with pre-2020 data\, we show the model can simultaneously match the trends in worker flows and wage changes during the 2021-2024 period. Using historical data\, we further show that prior periods of high inflation were also associated with an increase in vacancies and an upward shift in the Beveridge curve. Finally\, we show that other “hot labor market” theories that can cause an increase in the aggregate vacancy-to-unemployment rate have implications that are inconsistent with the worker flows and wage dynamics observed during the recent inflationary period. Collectively\, our calibrated model implies that the recent inflation in the United States\, all else equal\, reduced the welfare of workers through real wage declines and other costly actions providing a model-driven reason why workers report they dislike inflation.

For example\, some 15 percent of animal species use complex venoms for offense or defense. In turn\, toxin resistance has evolved across the tree of life as well\, making toxin-mediated interactions important subjects in the study of predator-prey coevolution. I will discuss ongoing work that unites comparative genome biology\, population genomics\, proteomics\, and biochemical assays to determine the molecular targets of snake venoms and the broader evolutionary forces shaping venom variation among populations and species. I will next describe the observable phenotypic outcomes of coevolution between snakes and their venom resistant prey across landscapes. What emerges is a picture of how these traits may be shaped by a combination of biotic and abiotic forces to maintain biological diversity.\n\n-Talk Title: Applying Wafer-Scale Evolutionary Simulations to Investigate Hypermutator Dynamics in Large Asexual Populations\nSummary: Hypermutator alleles\, which elevate mutation rates\, introduce a fundamental trade-off in asexual organisms by accelerating adaptation but also increasing mutation load. In scenarios with rich opportunities for adaptive mutations\, large population sizes can promote fixation of hypermutator strains via increased mutation supply. However\, factors that might suppress hypermutator traits in large asexual populations are less understood. In this talk\, I’ll discuss ongoing agent-based modeling experiments investigating how scenarios with few beneficial mutations available (i.e.\, limited adaptive potential) affect mutator dynamics across a continuum of population sizes and spatial structures. We will also survey technical aspects of the work\, which harnesses the 850\,000-processor Cerebras Wafer-Scale Engine to achieve simulation of population sizes ranging up to 1.5 billion with a 111\,091× speedup over CPU execution. These experiments reflect an initial step in investigating the potential for next-generation computing hardware to substantially scale up scope tractable within in silico models. We will review further opportunities to develop foundational infrastructure that enables application of decentralized\, many-processor simulations across diverse research agendas in evolutionary biology.\n\nJoin Remotely: https://umich.zoom.us/j/94285293918\nMeeting ID: 942 8529 3918\nPasscode: tuesem UID:128625-21861378@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/128625 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:department of ecology and evolutionary biology,Ecology,Ecology & Biology,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,eeb,evolution,evolutionary biology,Free,Lecture,Life Science,Museum - Zoology,Natural Sciences,Postdoctoral Research Fellows,Research,Science,scientists,seminar,zoology LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1010 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241120T063134 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241105T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241105T130000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Info Session: Leadership Fellow Program at Port Authority of NY & NJ DESCRIPTION:Join Eric Glover\, Campus Recruiting Manager\, and learn more about the Leadership Fellow Program at The Port Authority of New York &\; New Jersey!The Leadership Fellow Program is a two-year rotational program open to students who are receiving a graduate-level degree between December 2024 and June 2025.

Moving production to nearby Vietnam allows firms to jump the tariff wall. We show that locations within Vietnam closer to China gain more—a border effect—in output and new FDI\, particularly for industries producing goods with strong demand from the US and larger S301 tariff increase for China exports. We also analyze the environmental impact of Vietnam's surging economic growth and find that Vietnam is not repeating China's economic development story that features severe pollution. Large multinational companies' FDI and the government's commitment to clean energy development safeguard Vietnam's blue skies.\n \nDr. Zheng is the STL Champion Professor of Urban and Real Estate Sustainability at the Center for Real Estate\, and Department of Urban Studies and Planning\, at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

A major challenge with high-speed propulsion is the limited time scales available to mix\nand combust the flow within the residence time. When exploring practical propulsion systems\, the requirement to utilize liquid fuels adds a further challenge\,\nas the liquid needs to breakup\, evaporate\, mix\, and burn within the same residence time. One promising method to deal with this challenge is to utilize\ndetonations or shock waves to accelerate the breakup\, evaporation\, and combustion. The details of a shock or detonation-driven breakup of liquid droplets is\nreceiving significant attention. However\, a physical understanding and modeling of such multiphase detonations are hampered by a lack of models for the\nevolution and breakup of a single droplet after a shock or detonation. Experimental studies of this problem are available but can only measure macroscopic\nproperties and cannot resolve the quantitative details at small scales. High-fidelity interface-resolving numerical studies are needed to understand the\nbreak-up process better and the similarities and differences between detonation and shock-driven breakup.\n\nThe goals of this thesis are: 1) to gain insights into the stages of breakup and secondary droplet distribution throughout the breakup\, 2) to leverage the stages\nof breakup and the droplet distribution to understand the impact of evaporation and how that may impact liquid fueled detonations. The breakup was found\nto follow five stages. Two of the key stages are the droplet flattening due to the pressure difference\, while instabilities form on the droplet surface. That is\nfollowed by the rapid recurrent piercing of the droplet by these surface instabilities\, resulting in the sudden catastrophic shattering of the droplet. The fraction\nof mass contained in secondary droplets was found to be minimal until this recurrent piercing. During the recurrent piercing\, the secondary droplets followed\na log-normal distribution\, with a few larger droplets not well represented by the log-normal distribution. However\, these large droplets were short-lived and\nrapidly decayed to the log-normal distribution. This allows for the breakup to be approximated as an induction time until the breakup begins\, followed by a\nbreakup where droplets are shed at the final log-normal distribution. For detonation-driven breakup\, a similar process occurs\, and the breakup time scale is\nsignificantly faster than the evaporation time scale for the primary droplet\, resulting in minimal evaporation prior to breakup. Thus\, the evaporation is\ncontrolled by the resulting change in the effective area due to the breakup and secondary droplet distribution. This allows for an extension of the mass\nstripping model to account for the induction time prior to breakup beginning and accounting for the secondary droplet distribution. Further work exploring\nliquid-fueled detonations is needed as the current work predicts the breakup and resulting distribution will control the evaporation time scales\, but the mixing\nand ignition delay times scales have not yet been explored. This work represents the first interface-resolving study of detonation-driven breakup that captures\nheat transfer\, phase change\, and the secondary droplets\; it is also the first study to capture the secondary droplet distribution during a shock-driven breakup.

Using circularly polarized light\, artificial magnetic fields can be created in the photon-dressed Floquet-Bloch states that form. This mechanism\, when applied to 3D Dirac and Weyl systems\, is predicted to lead to photon-dressed movement of Weyl nodes which should be detectable in the transport sector. Using ultrafast transport methodology\, we find direct evidence of transport from Floquet-Bloch states in the type-II Weyl semimetal T_d - MoTe_2 . In our measurements\, we observed injection currents\, and a helicity-dependent anomalous Hall effect whose scaling with laser field strongly deviate from the perturbative expectation of nonlinear optics. We show using Floquet theory that this discovery corresponds to the formation of a magnetic Floquet-Weyl semimetal state. Numerical ab initio simulations support this interpretation\, indicating that the light-induced motion of the Weyl nodes contributes significantly to the measured transport signals. Moreover\, from the amplitude of the light-induced anomalous Hall effect\, we deduce that these photon-dressed states induce a large effective non-Maxwellian field (>30 T) during the drive.\n\nIn addition to modifying the topological transport properties during the field\, we also discovered that mid-infrared light can efficiently excite coherent interlayer shear phonons which we can capture directly in the transport sector. We measure coherence between the phonon oscillation and the nonlinear Hall effect\, which we interpret as an oscillation of the Weyl node positions in the Brillouin zone. This work is ongoing\, but I will discuss both these results and the future of optical control over topology in quantum materials\, including paths to persistent\, dissipation free light-induced edge modes.

It focuses on the Hamidian era – the reign of Sultan Abdülhamid II (1876-1909) – and how empire-wide bureaucratic networks collaborated to label Armenians as undesirable subjects and prevent migrants’ return to the empire. It argues that the meticulous efforts on the part of the Ottoman state to document the identities of emigrating Armenians through a photographic archive represent a significant example of how the emergent technologies of state surveillance contributed to an exclusive conception of imperial subjecthood. Photography and archiving became engines of state-building and ethnonational ideology. Building on my dissertation research\, this talk also introduces my second project\, which explores the new demarcations of imperial belonging\, and the changing anxieties and vocabularies for managing imperial security during the Balkan Wars and World War I. I investigate how enemy aliens\, and people from the lost territories in the Balkans were photographed and expatriated. I will discuss the terms deportation and abandonment and demonstrate that emptying the Ottoman landscape of undesirable people was not only a political and bureaucratic project\, but also a visual and archival one.\n \n Bio: Hazal Özdemir received her PhD in History at Northwestern University in May 2024.

Since 2004\, Glazer has been lead faculty and head of ceramics at Henry Ford College\, and former faculty of Concord College (WV) and North Dakota State University. His artwork has been exhibited throughout the country.\n\nThroughout his adult life the art of Steve Glazer has been done as a response to his environment. From a series of shadow box type pieces containing life like ceramic fish while teaching at a Catholic woman’s college\, to building 8’ tall ceramic “skyscrapers” that barely fit into the display spaces while teaching in North Dakota\, where no skyscrapers exist\, and then creating installations commenting on living in Appalachia while teaching in southern West Virginia. After returning home to Detroit\, Glazer began his griot series\, the “Motor City Griot Society” masks\, the faces of the superheroes that will save Detroit\, and more recently the “Motor City Griot Patrol” creatures that will protect the city of Detroit.

Moran uses silkscreen\, shibori\, and stitching to embed images from her daily walks into the fabric. it's important that the work builds slowly\, involving meditative processes that connect her to the cloth and the source of the design.\n\nGallery hours: Monday-Friday\, 9 am to 5pm or by appointment serrag@med.umich.edu UID:124224-21852731@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124224 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Art,Culture,Detroit,Exhibition,Free,Graduate Students,North Campus,Visual Arts LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Rotunda Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241022T124308 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241106T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241106T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Touch DESCRIPTION:Ericka Lopez is a visual artist born in Mexico and living in Los Angeles. Lopez lost her sight at an early age and is mostly non-verbal. This exhibition of tactile assemblage works and gestural coiled pots were created by the artist through touch and texture\, colored by memory. The works are sensory\, physical\, immediate\, reaffirming\, and deeply expressive. Viewers to this exhibition are invited to touch the work. \n\nDuring her residency\, the artist and her support team\, which includes her mother and translator\, will engage directly with students in the exhibition space\, offering a transformative experience based on human expression and connection through art. Because Ericka feels most comfortable when she is working\, she plans to make artwork with students as part of the class engagements with the exhibition.\n\nAbout Ericka Lopez\nBorn 1987 in Mexico\, Ericka Lopez has been making art at Tierra del Sol Studios since 2019. Working across ceramic\, fiber\, and mixed media constructions\, Lopez’s practice is centralized around her exploration of touch. Lopez was born with limited vision and is now completely blind. Lopez trained in massage therapy and previously volunteered at a soup kitchen when an encounter with Tierra’s ceramics studio shifted her trajectory toward fine art. Her masterful command of clay hand-building techniques enables Lopez to create intricate\, dynamic\, and organically structured coil vessels. Lopez’s works are informed by her finite recollection of color\; she requests specific shades and combinations of glazes that generate spontaneous\, distinctive surfaces when fired. This intuitive approach continues in her fiber wall works and mixed media sculptures. Utilizing punch rug embroidery\, Lopez creates abstract fields of yarn and found objects\, often repeatedly punching through the same area to yield densely layered sections. Lopez has learned to identify the color of her materials via scent and feel\, a process that is difficult to put into words. Her mixed media sculptures are created almost entirely by touch\, consisting of threads\, buttons\, beads\, fabric scraps\, and found objects instinctively stitched together using simple sewing techniques. Lopez hopes her works can be experienced through an inquiry of touch.\n\nEricka Lopez has exhibited her artwork at Laband Gallery and Tierra del Sol Gallery in Los Angeles\, CA. Lopez’s debut solo exhibition\, “Continuous Touch\,” was curated by jill moniz for Tierra del Sol Gallery in the Spring of 2023. She has had works acquired by notable private collections such as that of Beth DeWoody and by the Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum at UC Long Beach.

The exhibition highlights the significance of community-based conversations between mother and daughter\, and their ongoing conversations with elders (ancestors)\, young folx\, and future generations as vital aspects of their methodology. These conversations often take place during basket gatherings - where community members come together and share stories and teachings that can encompass Anishinaabe creation stories\, as well as those of survivance and resilience\, to inform the materiality and liveness of their work. The curatorial and interpretive framework of this exhibition contends that the deeply situated and temporal works by Church (Stamps\, BFA 1998) and Parrish (LSA\, BA 2020) are repositories for Anishinaabe ways of knowing\, thinking\, and making that contribute to the complexity of American art and its histories. The expansive and bold practices of Church and Parrish affirm the sovereignty of Anishinaabe lifeways and the importance of including Indigenous narratives that have systematically been left out. Thus\, the thematic survey of their work will explore the under-examined themes that inform their work such as Native women’s labor as carriers of culture and knowledge-keepers\, the legacy of boarding schools and ancestors who walked on\, the treaties in Michigan and the long-overlooked legacy of Anishinaabe intellectual life and their relevance today. Just like the practice of weaving and interlacing distinct strips of black ash to create one whole\, Church and Parrish will address the diverse and interconnected themes with approximately 30-35 works\, including 15-17 new works. Together\, the exhibition offers an incisive critique of the colonial\, racist paradigm of systemic erasure and assimilation that continues to this day\, with the ongoing crises of missing and murdered Indigenous women\, culture wars\, and climate change that threaten Indigenous ways of living\, sustenance\, and making. \nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra with Curatorial Assistant Zoi Crampton.\nStamps Gallery is grateful to Michigan Humanities and U-M Arts Initiative for generously supporting the exhibition and programs.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621435@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240620T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241106T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241106T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border.

Through his social and political works\, 2Fik creates lives for characters who almost seem real\, whose stories\, personalities\, and interests are rooted in our world. Each of his creations are conceived in a voyeuristic way that pushes the spectator to wonder what exists beyond the scope of the work. Each character in this humorous and interpretative world becomes a reflection of our society.\n\n\"Identity Potpourri\" by 2Fik is a mixture of different artworks from various series by the artist between 2006 and 2016. The exhibition will open at 6 PM on October 30 and be on display until November 8.

Most famously\, it exhibits the universality of CFT spectra at high energy\, but there are numerous other applications\, including in the context of holography. In recent years\, a combination of exact results in supersymmetric CFTs and developments in AdS/CFT have sparked renewed interest in possible generalizations of modularity to CFTs in dimensions greater than two. We briefly survey these developments for both supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric CFTs and note that a satisfactory geometric understanding is lacking. We aim to improve on this situation in the context of the 4d N=1 superconformal index\, using the free chiral multiplet as our main example. We argue that a factorization of the BPS Hilbert space allows a KK reduction on the base of the Hopf fibration to a two-dimensional torus\, comprised of the Hopf fiber and the temporal circle. This provides a 2d description\, in terms of two infinite KK towers\, of the 4d BPS Hilbert space. We argue\, and prove\, that this implies the unconventional modular property of the superconformal index\, referred to before as “modular factorization”. We comment on the generalized notion of modularity\, on generalizations to more interesting 4d SCFTs and other dimensions. If time permits\, we discuss an SL(2\,Z) family of 3d limits of the 4d index\, realizing lens space partition functions of the dimensionally reduced theory.

Progress can be made using numerical methods such as variational quantum Monte Carlo (VMC)\, which allows for explicitly correlated and flexible wave functions\, including recently neural network ansatzes. However\, historically VMC methods have been limited to ground state calculations only.\n\nI will present a new ensemble variational principle for the lowest N eigenstates of an arbitrary Hamiltonian. I show that this principle allows us to derive a new optimization algorithm for excited states\, and is scalable for first principles models of condensed matter systems. I will present some new results on strongly correlated systems along with comparisons to traditional embedding methods.

First\, I develop a simple comparative static test to distinguish standard forms of imperfect competition from collusion. I show that\, for very general labor supply and production structures\, the spillover effects of firm-specific demand shocks predict opposite employment effects at unshocked competitors who operate independently (↓ employment)\, versus those who were previously colluding but whose collusion dismantles due to the shock (↑ employment). Next\, I argue that large employers in the garment industry organize into industry associations to pay workers exactly the state- and industry-specific minimum wage\, using it as a focal point for coordination. Members of industry associations are substantially more likely to bunch from above at the local minimum wage than non-members\, and to track its policy-induced rise without reducing employment. I show that small export demand shocks evoke the standard imperfectly competitive response among non-members (higher wages and employment)\, but elicit no response from members (they forego export opportunities to stick to the minimum wage). By contrast\, when a large demand shock leads affected members to deviate from the minimum wage\, unaffected nonmembers respond as in oligopsony (↑ wage\, ↓ employment)\, but unaffected members respond as if their collusion dismantles (↑ wage\, ↑ employment). Imposing specific models of labor supply and production\, the “full-IO” approach statistically rejects the oligopsony model in favor of the breakdown of collusion. I conclude that collusion spurs substantial losses even compared to a world wherein each firm exercises its own\, but not their collective\, market power\, reducing the average worker’s wage by 9.6% and employment by 17%.

In this talk\, we define Lusztig-packets of representations and Lusztig-packets of character sheaves. In the case that G is connected\, we give explicit relationships between character sheaves on G and irreducible characters of G(Fq) by using the sheaf-function correspondence. For certain G\, this allows us to construct every irreducible character of G(Fq).

Calmes and Fasel have given a globalized version of this correspondence\, introducing the notion of a quadratic pair on an Azumaya algebra. Gille\, Neher\, and Ruether asked whether every orthogonal involution on an Azumaya algebra was part of an associated quadratic pair\; they showed that affine locally this is the case\, they gave strong and weak cohomological obstruction classes for the existence of global quadratic pairs\, and they produced examples illustrating that these obstructions can be nontrivial in general.\n\nIn this talk\, we introduce an intermediate obstruction to the strong and weak obstructions of Gille\, Neher\, and Ruether which exists only in the characteristic 2 setting. We then revisit the examples of Gille\, Neher\, and Ruether and show how these obstructions convey information on the underlying module structure of the associated Azumaya algebras. This talk is based on joint work in-progress with Cameron Ruether.

Though it is long appreciated that the enormous neural diversity arises in spatiotemporally patterned manners\, the exact underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear even in the relatively trackable Drosophila brain. We map cell lineages and then track changes in gene expressions and genome states along actual cell lineages to see how the genome encodes brain connectome.\n\nBiosketch:\nMy background is rooted in both medicine and research\, leading me to employ genetic model systems to understand human brain development. I aspire to reverse-engineer the brain by tracking development from neural stem cells to diverse neuron types. My lab has developed and applied sophisticated genetic mosaic tools to understand how the Drosophila melanogaster brain develops on the level of individual cells. Briefly\, we have created lineage-restricted drivers by immortalizing the expression patterns of early patterning genes. These drivers enable us to map single neurons based on lineage origin and neuronal birth order. Indeed\, we have successfully mapped the developmental sequence of entire neuronal lineages in the adult fly brain\, providing unparalleled resolution and critical insight into how a limited number of progenitor cells can generate diverse\nneurons. We have further successfully investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying this neuronal diversification and probed the developmental plasticity of these neurons in the adult brain. We have recently extended our approach from fly to vertebrates (including mouse and zebrafish). Nonetheless\, critical gaps remain\, even in our study of fly brain development. To completely understand how the genome encodes diverse neuron types\, we need to track not just cell lineages\, but also the dynamic developmental genes which confer cells with their specific fates. As part of this effort\, we have built new\, powerful\, CRISPR-based genetic tools to simultaneously track birth order and acutely manipulate genes of interest. Our findings will be applied to ultimately tailor neural/brain development in order to treat neurological patients.
