SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student AIM Seminar: Modeling effects of seasonal light variations on the sleep patterns of young children
DESCRIPTION:Sleep disturbances\, particularly nighttime waking\, are highly prevalent in young children and can significantly disrupt not only the child’s well-being but also family functioning. Behavioral and environmental strategies\, including the regulation of light exposure\, are typically recommended treatments for nighttime waking. Using the Homeostatic-Circadian-Light (HCL) mathematical model for sleep timing based on the interaction of the circadian rhythm\, the homeostatic sleep drive and external light\, we analyze how external light schedules can influence the occurrence of nighttime waking in young children. We fit the model to data for sleep homeostasis and sleep behavior in 2 - 3.5 year olds and identified subsets of parameter ranges that fit the data but indicated a susceptibility to nighttime waking. This suggests that as children develop they may exhibit more or less propensity to awaken during the night. Notably\, parameter sets exhibiting earlier sleep timing were more susceptible to nighttime waking. For a model parameter set susceptible to\, but not exhibiting\, nighttime waking\, we analyze how external light schedules affect sleep patterns. We find that low daytime light levels can induce nighttime sleep disruptions and extended bright-light exposure also promotes nighttime waking. Further results suggest that consistent daily routines are essential\; irregular schedules\, particularly during weekends\, markedly worsen the consolidation of nighttime sleep. Specifically\, weekend delays in morning lights-on and evening lights-off times result in nighttime sleep disruptions and can influence sleep timing during the week. These results highlight how external light\, daily rhythms\, and parenting routines interact to shape childrens’ sleep health\, providing a useful framework for improving sleep management practices.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Threats to independent government oversight
DESCRIPTION:Paul Martin spent nearly 40 years in public service and can share reflections on the importance of government oversight to American democracy.\n\nHe was Inspector General at USAID until February\, 2025. Since then\, he has written and spoken in print and television interviews and documentaries regarding the closure of USAID and\, more broadly\, the damage to the almost half-century-old system of independent oversight by Inspectors General in light of the firing of 20 Presidentially appointed IGs since late January.\n\nIn addition to his time as Inspector General at USAID\, he served as the presidentially appointed/Senate confirmed IG at NASA for 14 years\, the Deputy IG at the Department of Justice\, and Vice Chair of the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee that coordinated oversight of $5 trillion in emergency federal pandemic spending.\n\nMartin holds a degree in journalism from Penn State. He began his career as a newspaper reporter in Greenville\, South Carolina\, and later attended Georgetown Law School after catching what he described as the \"law bug\" while covering courts for the newspaper.
