Workshop Ann arbor, United States of America 2023

The Metropolitan Museum of Art showcases the work of African American potters in the exhibition "Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield, South Carolina." The exhibition explores their contribution to stoneware traditions despite being enslaved or free.

In Andrea Carlson's exhibition, "Future Cache," a large memorial wall honors the Cheboiganing Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians who were forcefully removed from their land in Northern Michigan. The artwork also emphasizes the rights of the Anishinaabe people and invites reflection on the effects of colonization. The exhibition aims to create a sense of belonging for displaced Indigenous communities and advocates for restitution.

Title: Enhanced Approaches for Drug Discovery in Cancer and Bacterial Infections Abstract: Current drug discovery methods are time-consuming and have a low success rate. We are investigating innovative strategies to identify potential drugs, including a promising compound for breast cancer and antibiotics for problematic Gram-negative infections.

This program is exclusively for U-M Student Life staff, while non-Student Life staff are required to pay $200 per person for the 20-hour duration. Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an excellent tool for facilitating behavior change, particularly beneficial for medical staff in promoting lifestyle changes and medication adherence, as well as therapists and counselors in supporting mental health. The utilization of MI is now being extended to include Student Life advisers, supervisors, and others.

The H/C ratio is higher in earth's exosphere than in the source region of primitive basalts, suggesting the presence of an enriched carbon reservoir in the mantle. This may be due to the subduction of carbon over time, enriching the mantle with recycled material. Recent estimates show minimal carbon reaching the asthenospheric mantle, but sub-lithospheric diamonds provide direct evidence of mantle carbon. These diamonds from Brazil contain trapped silicate inclusions similar to mafic eclogitic lithologies at depths of 300-800 km. Isotopic measurements and extreme enrichment of trace elements support the idea that these samples were produced from melts of subducted crust. Petrological experiments have demonstrated the carbon's role in this process.

Gina Gibson, an artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University, became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Her work, UN/EARTH, explores the intersection of science and art. Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead, South Dakota, SURF houses experiments that enhance our understanding of the universe. The underground setting provides an ideal environment for experiments that require minimal interference from cosmic radiation. One such experiment is the LUX-Zeplin, developed in collaboration with the University of Michigan, which is the world's most sensitive dark matter experiment. Additionally, SURF facilitates experiments in biology, geology, and engineering.

We develop an Extreme Value Theory for a specific type of diffusive particle systems with mean-field interaction in drifts. When the number of particles increases, the upper order statistics of the system converge to the same limit as independent copies of the solution to the corresponding McKean-Vlasov SDE. By utilizing standard Extreme Value Theory and Malliavin Calculus, we can describe this limit. We find that if certain growth conditions are met, the normalized top-ranked particle will follow a Gumbel law in the limit of a large population.

Introducing Hawkeye, the Wellness Dog from PaWWs and Relax! This Alaskan Malamute is a registered therapy dog and a working sled dog, offering a weekly chance to unwind and enjoy relaxation.

This special session of Ginsberg Center’s Power & Partnership in Community Engagement, in collaboration with IRWG, is designed for IRWG affiliates and grant applicants. The workshop will introduce participants to equity-focused community engagement principles and explore how power dynamics shape various aspects of partnerships, research projects, grant proposals, and more. Participants will learn strategies to reshape inequitable power dynamics and apply key principles to their own community-engaged work. Lunch will be provided.

The diffusion of new products has long been studied using the Bass model, which assumes homogeneity and connectivity among individuals. Recently, research has shifted to the Bass model on networks, which considers individual adoption decisions. This talk will focus on the mathematical theory of the Bass model on networks, particularly the impact of network structure and individual heterogeneity on adoption rates.
