Michigan and Michigan State Universities Collaborate on Urine-to-Fertilizer 'Piss Off' Event

Michigan and Michigan State Universities Collaborate on Urine-to-Fertilizer 'Piss Off' Event

The University of Michigan Wolverines and Michigan State Spartans are engaging in an environmental competition this weekend, hosting a 'Piss Off' event in Ann Arbor. Wastewater research scientists from both universities aim to collect the most urine during their annual rivalry game. Two yurts will be set up at the Ann Arbor Golf Club, near the Big House, where volunteers will direct fans to contribute. The collected urine will be converted into nutrient-rich fertilizer, a process known as 'peecycling.' The initiative serves a dual purpose: to gather raw material for fertilizer production and to educate the public about the potential of human waste as a sustainable resource. This project is partly funded by a University Research Council Grant awarded to Michigan State Associate Professor of Sociology Stephen Gasteyer and Sociology Assistant Professor Saleh Amed.

University of Michigan and Michigan State Compete in 'Piss Off' Urine Collection Event for Fertilizer Production

University of Michigan and Michigan State Compete in 'Piss Off' Urine Collection Event for Fertilizer Production

The University of Michigan and Michigan State University are hosting a 'Piss Off' event in Ann Arbor this Saturday, coinciding with their annual rivalry football game. Wastewater research scientists from both institutions are competing to see which school can collect the most urine. Two yurts will be set up at the Ann Arbor Golf Club, across from the Big House, where volunteers will direct fans and tailgaters to contribute based on their university loyalties. The initiative, known as 'peecycling,' aims to collect urine for conversion into nutrient-rich fertilizer. According to Michigan State Associate Professor of Sociology Stephen Gasteyer, the event serves a dual purpose: to gather raw material for fertilizer production and to educate the public about the potential of urine as a natural nutrient source. The project is partly funded by a University Research Council Grant awarded to Gasteyer and Sociology Assistant Professor Saleh Amed.

University of Michigan Workshop Addresses Generative AI Mistakes, Emphasizing Critical Evaluation

University of Michigan Workshop Addresses Generative AI Mistakes, Emphasizing Critical Evaluation

The University of Michigan Library is hosting a workshop titled 'When AI Gets It Wrong: Learning Generative AI Through Its Mistakes.' Led by Kwok-leong Tang, managing director of the Digital China Initiative and a lecturer at Harvard University, the workshop focuses on understanding why generative AI tools make errors, particularly with historical East Asian sources. The goal is to equip participants with the knowledge to discern when to trust AI outputs and when to be skeptical. The hands-on session will involve running a small AI model on laptops to observe how it processes text, chooses words, and can confidently produce incorrect information. Participants will learn to differentiate between errors caused by the model's limitations and those resulting from insufficient input, and practice methods for testing AI answers against reliable sources.
