administration informed her if she taught a course on the history of photography, she would not be allowed to show images of sex, children, violence, drugs or “complicated emotional imagery.” Poor scheduled a meeting with the prison warden and another department secretary and, after describing her curriculum, was granted permission to teach the class as she originally intended. The men in the facility were not allowed to have cameras, but Poor wanted them to experience creating art of their own. The inmates were given images of well-known art and instructed to “map” the images by writing their observations and thoughts on top of the images. On the back of the image, they wrote narratives about the picture and their experience. Art & Design freshman Elizabeth Mizer commented on Poor’s artistic work at the prison. “Well I think it’s really important for people in the prison to get to experience like creativity and imagination when they don’t really normally get to have access to that,” Mizer said. University of Michigan researchers are working on the European Space Agency’s BepiColombo mission to send a spacecraft to Mercury’s atmosphere, a University press release announced. The mission hopes to analyze the planet and the solar system as a whole. Stefano Livi, a research professor of Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering, leads the investigation on the portion of the craft that measures the gases in Mercury’s upper atmosphere. James Slavin, another professor of Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering, assists on analyzing Mercury’s atmospheric gases and its chemical composition. Slavin has worked on Mercury research since its start and, as a University of California-Los Angeles graduate student, he studied the planet’s plasma process and the impacts of solar wind. This mission, which launches on Oct. 20 from French Guiana, is only the third mission in history to explore Mercury. The European Space Agency’s BepiColombo hopes to answer critical questions about the planet’s makeup, atmosphere and magnetic field. From these results, scientists can work to learn more about the solar system’s past and future. Livi and Slavin work on the particle spectrometer called Strofio, which uses a rotating electric field and a time-of- flight system to evaluate the mass of particles in Mercury’s uppermost atmosphere. The time it takes for particles to pass through the system allow scientists to determine the particle’s mass. Using the mass will give researches the necessary information to date the makeup of the planet. “Many theories have been developed. … Without measurements of what this gas is made of, how it reacts to external events and how it is swept away from the planet, we are working almost completely in the blind,” Livi said in the press release. Through the space mission, researchers can gather information from the orbit time of the satellite, take photos of the planet, analyze the x-ray and cosmic rays on Mercury’s surface and evaluate the atmosphere — the task of the Michigan research team. The researchers can then use the information about the particles and their proximity the sun to learn about Mercury’s magnetic field and its interactions with solar wind. “As human beings, we all want to know how we come to be as a species on this planet and, eventually, what’s going to happen to us,” Slavin said in the release. “It’s all ultimately about origins and destinies. 2A — Friday, October 19, 2018 The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com News TUESDAY: By Design THURSDAY: Twitter Talk FRIDAY: Words of Wisdom WEDNESDAY: This Week in History MONDAY: Looking at the Numbers WORDS OF WISDOM QUOTE OF THE WE E K “ “It’s easy to say that the entire current board and new board members are all strong supporters of academic freedom. I think it’s the linchpin of any great institution and it’s certainly made this institution great I think that academic freedom is the basis of our institution and without it, getting any sort of structure of scriptures on something would be inappropriate unless it was something harmful being taught.” Regent Andrea Fischer Newman, running for re-election to the Board of Regents this November PRISONS From Page 1A This Friday, we decided to ask members of our staff for any words of wisdom they wished to impart upon our readers. While we expected some half-hearted responses, we got some inspiring remarks.
