Examining Cretaceous Strata of the Taylor Creek Group in British Columbia : Potential Connection of the Methow and Tyqughton Basins.
No full textColor poster with text and charts describing research conducted by Michelle Forgette, advised by J. Brian Mahoney.Cretaceous strata around the Chilcotin Plateau of
south-central British Columbia are traditionally described as occupying several distinct basins, including the Nechako, Methow and Tyaughton basins. The original geometric relationships between these basins are difficult to reconstruct
due to Eocene and Neogene volcanic cover and the presence of a Tertiary dextral transpressive fault system along the southern margin of the Plateau. Detailed sedimentologic and
stratigraphic analysis are being integrated with ongoing thin section petrography, shale geochemistry (REE and isotopes), palynology, macro- and microfossil studies, and detrital zircon analyses in both these formations to test this proposed stratigraphic correlation.University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire Office of Research and Sponsored Programs

A spotlight on mental health: Nathan Filer and Michelle Thomas in conversation
No full textNathan Filer, author of 'The Heartland: Finding and Losing Schizophrenia', and journalist Michelle Thomas, author of 'My Sh*t Therapist: & Other Mental Health Stories', discussed why it is so important to question the way we talk about mental health. Bringing together insights from inside the mental health profession with stories from the people it serves, Nathan and Michelle showed the human faces that lie behind the myths and the statistics
Genetic influences on level and stability of self-esteem
No full textWe attempted to clarify the relation between self-esteem level (high vs. low) and perceived self-esteem stability (within-person variability) by using a behavioral genetics approach. We tested whether the same or independent genetic and environmental influences impact on level and stability. Adolescent twin siblings (n = 183 pairs) completed level and stability scales at two time points. Heritability for both was substantial. The remaining variance in each was attributable to non-shared environmental influences. Shared environmental influences were not significant. Level and stability of self-esteem shared common antecedents via genetic and non-shared environmental influences. Nonetheless, stability was influenced by substantial unique genetic and non-shared environmental influences. The results validate the notion that level and stability are partially autonomous components of self-esteem

On Epiphenomenal Temporality:Black German Identities and Quantum Physics in the African Diaspora
No full textThis talk will delve deep into the often nuanced ways our assumptions about time in the Humanities impact the epistemological formations of our discipline. Beginning with the girding structure of the linear progress narrative and finishing with what Wright dubs ‘Epiphenomenal spacetime’, her argument will intersect with contemporary and canonical formations of Blackness within and without academe while intersecting with discourses on the temporal shift from Newtonian to theoretical particle physics. Time, as Wright will show, has everything to do with the representation of racial collectives in the Western tradition. Michelle M. Wright is the Augustus Baldwin Longstreet Professor of English at Emory University. She is the author of Becoming Black: Creating Identity in the African Diaspora (2004) and Physics of Blackness: Beyond the Middle Passage Epistemology (2015). Writing through gender studies, queer studies, science studies, time studies, Black European Studies, African American Studies, and African Diaspora Studies, her work focuses on Black identity formation in both creative and academic discourses

Chapter 2: Changing the Way We Work
No full textThe way of work in the Information Age continues to be commuted by the Internet. The interconnected, collaborative functionality the World Wide Web provides, when implemented and utilized, can help individuals, as well as working groups, achieve greater flexibility and productivity, reports Michelle Boule, the author of the first issue of
Library Technology Reports
in 2008. A social sciences librarian and technology trainer, Michelle Boule (Univ. of Houston) examines how technology—which in Boule's report is defined as “any tool that can be used to communicate and collaborate over the Internet”—can and has impacted libraries in her issue “Changing the Way We Work.” Committees, task forces, and small working groups—all common ways to assign projects, divide work, and produce results in libraries—can benefit from “technology-enhanced work.” In her issue of
Library Technology Reports
, Boule reports on technology-enhanced work from several library or library-related projects, including:
In addition, Boule looks at the other technology-enhanced work projects/software: This issue of
Library Technology Reports
also delineates technology-enhanced tools, such as Web conferencing, instant messaging, and project-management tools, and it lists specific tools and “widgets” in widespread use (AOL Instant Messager [AIM], Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk, Meebo, Trillian, etc.) In “Changing the Way We Work,” Boule also provides best practice tips for working in a virtual team environment as well as a list of selected references that provide additional research and analysis about technology-enhanced work in libraries. Michelle Boule's love of information and libraries started at a very young age. After she received a B.A. in English with minors in women's studies and anthropology from Texas A&M in 2001, her love of reading eventually led her to the library profession. Michelle completed her master's in library science at Texas Woman's University. It was in graduate school that a fascination with technology and information-seeking behaviors took hold. Michelle is a social sciences librarian at the University of Houston. During her day job, she maintains the Ethnic Studies collections, teaches classes, answers questions, does technology training, and works with students and faculty. Though technology is not a formal part of her job, she lives much of her life online. Michelle is very involved with LITA, the Library Information Technology Association; serves on BIGWIG, the IG that maintains LITA Blog ( Michelle was a part of planning team of the very successful Five Weeks to a Social Library program ( Michelle can be found online in various places and maintains her own writing space at A Wandering Eyre
