SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:M-LEEaD Environmental Statistics Symposium on the Computational Challenges of Chemical Mixtures in Environmental Health Science Research
DESCRIPTION:This symposium will discuss the computational challenges of multiple chemical and non-chemical environmental risk factors in environmental health sciences research. \n\nHighlighting this year's Environmental Statistics Day Symposium will be a keynote address by Howard Chang\, PhD on \"Mixture All Along: Statistical Methods for Estimating Complex Exposure-Response Functions\". Dr. Chang is Professor of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics in Environmental Health\, Rollins School of Public Health\, Emory University.\n\nFollowing the keynote address\, at 2:00 pm\, the \"Michigan Perspectives\" faculty panel will discuss topics related to mixtures.\n1. Wei Hao\, PhD (Research Assistant Professor\, UM SPH Biostatistics) Statistical methods for chemical mixtures: a roadmap for practitioners\n2. Michele Peruzzi\, PhD (Assistant Professor\, UM SPH Biostatistics) Inside-out cross-covariance for spatial multivariate data\n3.

Advancements in exposure assessments and statistical tools have enabled a shift towards studying the combined health impact of multiple exposures. This presentation will describe the use of approximate Gaussian process regression and Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) to flexibly characterize exposure-response functions. These approaches aim to address the computational challenges associated with Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) and some parametric assumptions associated with quantile g-computation (qcomp). We apply these methods in several population-based epidemiologic studies to estimate health effects of ambient air pollution on emergency department visits and birth weight in Georgia\, as well as an extension to identify heterogeneous health effects of heat waves. We will also describe challenges and approaches in visualizing and summarizing these complex exposure-response surfaces. Finally\, we will discuss some practical and methodological issues related to the analysis of multiple environmental exposures.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Science Success Series- Mindful Mondays
DESCRIPTION:Give your brain some rejuvenation by taking a mindful study break. Come join us for an hour of connection\, conversation\, and crafts with fellow students. The WISE Mentors will be available to answer any questions you may have. Need a resume review\, advice for picking classes\, help making a study schedule? We've got you covered!\nThis is a drop-in style event where you can come and go as your schedule allows. Light snacks will be provided.

SUMMARY:Performance:Pamela Ruiter-Feenstra\, carillon
DESCRIPTION:Pamela Ruiter-Feenstra performs on the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Carillon\, an instrument of 60 bells with the lowest bell (bourdon) weighing 6 tons.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Lurie Carillon every weekday that classes are in session. During these recitals\, visitors may take the elevator to level 2 to view the largest bells\, or to level 3 to see the carillonist performing. (Visitors subject to acrophobia are recommended to visit level 2 only.) An optional spiral stairway between levels 2 and 3 allows for up-close views of some of the largest bells.
