SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Henry Russel Lecture
DESCRIPTION:“Genetics of Blood Clotting: From Bedside to Bench and Back Again”\n\nThis lecture will review research conducted by David Ginsburg's lab\, particularly focusing on the connection between studies of human diseases (the bedside) and basic laboratory research (the bench). The Ginsburg lab has a longstanding interest in the genetics of inherited bleeding and blood clotting disorders and the structure and function of blood coagulation proteins\, including von Willebrand factor (von Willebrand disease)\, ADAMTS13 (Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP))\, and PAI-1 (PAI-1 deficiency). Our discovery of the molecular basis for combined deficiency of blood clotting factors V and VIII took us from the “bedside” to the “bench” to further explore the regulation of protein transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi\, leading to new insights into the pathogenesis of heart and blood diseases\, including the control of cholesterol levels.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Michael Woodroofe Lecture Series: Trevor Hastie\, Professor Emeritus of Statistics\, Professor Emeritus of Biomedical Data Science\, Department of Statistics\, Department of Biomedical Data Science\, Stanford University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In this talk\, we introduce \"UniLasso\" -- a novel statistical method for sparse regression. This two-stage approach preserves the signs of the univariate coefficients and leverages their magnitude. Both of these properties are attractive for stability and interpretation of the model. Through comprehensive simulations and applications to real-world datasets\, we demonstrate that UniLasso outperforms Lasso in various settings\, particularly in terms of sparsity and model interpretability. Extensions to generalized linear models (GLMs) and Cox regression are also discussed.\n\nThis is joint work with Sourav Chatterjee and Rob Tibshirani.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Synthesis\, Structure and Applications of Highly Microporous Organic Materials
DESCRIPTION:Porous organic polymers represent a rare class of materials that combine high internal surface area with broad-spectrum chemical stability. These features make them attractive for applications where surface-guest interactions and durability dictate performance\, including corrosive gas storage\, water purification\, energy storage\, and catalysis. In many cases\, performance can be improved by fine-tuning bulk microporosity\, yet factors affecting this key property remain poorly understood. This seminar describes efforts to identify how synthetic pathways shape microporosity in amorphous porous networks. Using a network disassembly approach\, we show that pathway-dependent porosity is largely driven by defects arising from incomplete cross-linking. Implications for synthetic design and selected biomedical applications of highly microporous organic polymers will also be discussed.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman\, Award-winning Economist\, Speaker\, and Author
DESCRIPTION:A reception and book signing will take place in the Rebecca M. Blank Great Hall after the talk. The first 50 attendees at the event will receive a free copy of “The Double Tax: How Women of Color Are Overcharged and Underpaid.”\n\nIf you will be attending virtually\, please join the livestream here: https://youtu.be/Bigk4Q1vMM8\n\nSPEAKERS:\nAnna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman\nAward-winning Economist\, Speaker\, and Author\n\nCortney Sanders\n2026 Twink Frey Visiting Social Activist (TFVSA)\n\nYou've probably heard of the pink tax—that additional price women pay to exist in the same world as men. Now meet the double tax\, the compounded cost of racism and sexism\, or the pink tax and then some.\n\n\"The Double Tax\" dares to ask why it’s so expensive to be a woman in America and why it doesn’t have to be this way. Throughout the book\, Anna Gifty reveals that women spend more money\, time\, and effort than men across areas like beauty\, motherhood\, and career\, and that Black and white women lead vastly different lives. These differences\, highlighted through hundreds of conversations and countless studies\, reveal that the clearest path forward to reducing costs for all women is to ensure that no woman is left behind.\n\n“The Double Tax: How Women of Color Are Overcharged and Underpaid\,” her second book\, explores the costs women face\, why the bill runs higher for women of color\, and why closing the gaps helps everyone.
