SUMMARY:Performance:Stories & Songs: An Evening with Radney Foster & Kelly Willis
DESCRIPTION:Radney Foster first gained attention as half of the duo Foster & Lloyd\, who with “Crazy Over You” became the first duo in history to top the Country charts with their debut single. He then established himself as a solo artist in the early 90’s with his critically acclaimed release Del Rio\, Texas 1959. \n\nKnown as a songwriter’s songwriter\, his songs have been recorded by everyone from Keith Urban and the Chicks to Hootie & the Blowfish and George Benson. His own hits like “Just Call Me Lonesome\,” “Nobody Wins\,” and “Texas In 1880” continue to be played on radio and by bands around the world.\n\nHis most recent project For You To See The Stars is in two parts\, a book of short fiction\, and a collection of songs to go with it. He is currently working on another book of fiction\, as well as developing film and TV projects.\n\nSinger-songwriter Kelly Willis captured critical acclaim from her first release\, with a distinctive voice that conveys both tender heartache and smoldering heat. Born in Oklahoma\, she moved often as a kid with her Army Colonel dad. She started singing professionally at 16\, fronting the rockabilly band “Kelly and the Fireballs” in the DC area\, but it soon became clear she was more of a country singer. After high school\, she moved to Austin and It wasn’t long before she got on the radar of MCA’s Tony Brown\, who signed her after an introduction by Nanci Griffith.\n\nKelly’s recording career began at a time when Nashville was experiencing a creative resurgence with the likes of Lyle Lovett\, Steve Earle\, Foster & Lloyd and The O'Kanes. She recorded three albums for MCA that were critical hits\, but it wasn’t until she left the major label restrictions behind that she came into her own with 1999’s What I Deserve for Rykodisc.\n\nThe albums Willis has made since What I Deserve have only burnished her reputation as Austin’s reigning queen of Americana\, including being inducted into the Austin Music Hall of Fame. When not performing her own music\, Kelly tours with Brennan Leigh and Melissa Carper as Wonder Women of Country\, in support of their 2023 self-titled EP.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jason Carter Band
DESCRIPTION:The award winning fiddler from the Del McCoury Band takes the lead\n\nIn Lloyd\, Kentucky\, on U.S. 23\, there’s a sign on the Country Music Highway dedicated to renowned fiddler Jason Carter. It was placed there because of his other accomplishments—the Grammy awards\, the worldwide tours\, and the many other accolades he’s earned through his music. But for Carter\, joining the legendary names honored on that stretch of highway just might mean the most. \"There's a certain sound that's up there that you just don't hear anywhere else\,\" he says. \"I think that played a big part in how I sound today.\" \n\nTrue to those Kentucky roots\, Carter continues to pour all he has back into bluegrass. For thirty years\, he has been the fiddle player for the Del McCoury Band—the most awarded group in bluegrass history. He’s won three Grammy awards\, including 2018’s “Best Bluegrass Album” with the Travelin’ McCourys\, of which he is a founding member. And he’s taken home five IBMAs for “Fiddle Player of the Year\,” a staggering number that isn’t quite so crazy once you realize just how many bluegrass greats have turned to Carter for collaboration. \n\nAs a fiddler\, Carter has been featured on albums by Steve Earle\, Ricky Skaggs\, Dierks Bentley\, Charlie Daniels\, Vince Gill\, Asleep at the Wheel\, and many more\, all in addition to his tireless touring and recording with Del as well as the Travelin’ McCourys. On Carter’s forthcoming solo album\, Lowdown Hoedown\, listeners may recognize instrumental contributions from such legends as Jerry Douglas or Sam Bush alongside vocals from young trailblazers like Sarah Jarosz or Billy Strings. This time\, though\, Carter is singing lead. \n\nWith Lowdown Hoedown\, Carter shares the fruits of decades’ worth of on-the-road experience\, spectacular musical sensibility\, and genuine excitement for what bluegrass can be.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Rare Failures\, Public Perception\, and Automated Driving: Why Exceptional Events Shape Trust in Emerging Safety Technologies
DESCRIPTION:This lecture explores the “vaccine paradox” of automated driving: why rare\, highly publicized failures of self-driving vehicles provoke intense emotional and political reactions while the far more common harms of human driving remain normalized. Drawing on risk psychology\, public-health history\, and human-factors research\, Prof. McGehee examines how visibility imbalance\, trust\, and perceptions of control shape public acceptance of emerging vehicle automation. Using real-world examples from automated-vehicle deployments alongside lessons from vaccine adoption and safety communication\, the talk argues that societal expectations for perfection in automation may obscure meaningful population-level safety gains. The presentation concludes by discussing how transparency\, responsible system design\, and careful language around driver-assistance technologies can help align public perception with evidence as automated driving evolves toward broader deployment.\n---\nAbout the speaker: Daniel V. McGehee\, is Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Iowa and Director of the Driving Safety Research Institute (DSRI) and the National Advanced Driving Simulator (NADS)\, one of the world’s largest and most advanced ground-vehicle simulation facilities. For more than three decades\, his work has focused on human factors\, driver behavior\, and the safe integration of advanced vehicle technologies\, including automated driving and driver-assistance systems. Dr. McGehee’s research spans engineering\, medicine\, public health\, and transportation policy\, with projects funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation\, National Institutes of Health\, and the automotive industry. He has led over $40 million in sponsored research and authored more than 160 scientific publications addressing driver attention\, crash avoidance\, vulnerable road users\, and the design of vehicle interfaces. His work combines naturalistic driving studies\, simulation\, and field research to better understand how humans interact with emerging mobility systems. At the University of Iowa\, he holds joint appointments in emergency medicine and public health\, reflecting his longstanding interest in traffic safety as a population-level health issue.

SUMMARY:Performance:Bob Schneider
DESCRIPTION:“one of the best kept secrets in rock and roll” –Goldmine Magazine\n\nAustin\, Texas-based singer-songwriter and former frontman of Joe Rockhead\, The Ugly Americans and The Scabs\, Bob Schneider is one of the most-celebrated musicians in the live music capital. Combining diverse styles\, Schneider’s music spans genres\, blending elements of folk\, rock\, rap\, funk\, bluegrass\, reggae and country with the more traditional singer/songwriter aesthetic. In short\, FRUNK.\n\nSchneider has won more than 59 Austin Music Awards including Best Album\, Best Songwriter\, Best Musician\, and Best Male Vocals making him the most decorated artist in Austin’s storied music history.\n\nSchneider’s fan base reaches far beyond the city limits of Austin.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Hann Lecture in Ornithology: “Trait-based Insights into the Dynamics of Biodiversity”
DESCRIPTION:As part of the 2026 Summer Lecture Series at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS)\, Dr. Marta Jarzyna will give the Hann Lecture in Ornithology. The free\, public talk is titled\, “Trait-based Insights into the Dynamics of Biodiversity.”\n\nJarzyna is an associate professor in the Department of Evolution\, Ecology and Organismal Biology at Ohio State University.\n\nTrait-based ecology has long been heralded as a framework capable of providing mechanistic insight into biodiversity dynamics and thereby enabling predictions of future biodiversity states.\n\nYet despite decades of development\, the promise of trait-based ecology remains largely unrealized.\n\nIn this talk\, the macroecologist and biodiversity scientist will draw on examples from her own research to critically examine where this promise has and has not been fulfilled.\n\nUsing avian systems as a case study\, Jarzyna demonstrates how incorporating functional traits into biodiversity metrics can reveal patterns that traditional species richness measures obscure.\n\nIn particular\, she shows that trait-based approaches uncover seasonal dynamics in bird communities — shifts in functional composition across the year that species counts alone would miss entirely.\n\nThese findings illustrate both the potential of trait-based ecology and the persistent gap between its theoretical ambitions and empirical application.\nJarzyna’s research focuses on understanding the processes that drive biodiversity dynamics across spatial\, temporal\, and taxonomic scales.\n\nShe holds an M.S. in environmental science from Warsaw University of Life Sciences and a dual Ph.D. in fisheries and wildlife and ecology\, evolutionary biology\, and behavior from Michigan State University\, and completed her postdoctoral fellowship at Yale University.\n\nThe University of Michigan Biological Station serves as a gathering place to learn from the natural world\, advance research and education\, and inspire action. We leverage over a century of research and transformative experiences to drive discoveries and solutions to benefit Michigan and beyond.\n\nFounded in 1909\, UMBS supports long-term research and education through immersive\, field-based courses and features state-of-the-art equipment and facilities for data collection and analysis to help any field researcher be productive. It is where students and scientists from across the globe live and work as a community to learn from the place.\n\nThe Summer Lecture Series is a tradition at UMBS\, where we explore scientific topics with distinguished guest speakers from across the country so the community can learn about our natural world.\n\nThe free\, public talks are on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. in the spring and summer in Gates Lecture Hall at the University of Michigan Biological Station\, located at 9133 Biological Rd. in Pellston\, Michigan — about 20 miles south of the Mackinac Bridge.
