Is the Phone Mightier than the Virus? Cell Phone Access and Epidemic Containment Efforts (October 25, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88052 88052-21648952@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 25, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Institute for Social Research

This talk examines the impact of mobile phone access on the containment of an epidemic. Speaker Elisa Maffioli et al. study this question in the context of the 2014 Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak in Liberia. They found that having access to cell phone coverage leads to a 10.8 percentage point reduction in the likelihood that a village has an EVD case. Results from this novel survey collected following the epidemic suggest that this is mostly explained by cellphone access facilitating emergency care provision rather than improving access to outbreak-related information.

Dr. Maffioli is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Health Management and Policy, at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. Her research is in development economics, health economics and political economy, with a focus on infectious diseases, maternal and child health, and nutrition in lower income countries. She is currently working in Liberia, Myanmar, Brazil, Mozambique and Nigeria, and has also conducted research in Lesotho, Kenya and India.

STS Speaker. RoboTruckers: The Double Threat of AI for Low-Wage Work (October 25, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86238 86238-21632207@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 25, 2021 4:00pm

Much attention has been paid to the risk artificial intelligence poses to employment, particularly in low-wage industries. The question has invited well-placed concern from policymakers, as the prospect of millions of low-skilled workers finding themselves suddenly without employment brings with it the potential for tremendous social and economic disruption. Long-haul truck driving is perceived as a prime target for such displacement, due to the fast-developing technical capabilities of autonomous vehicles (many of which lend themselves to the specific needs of truck driving), characteristics of trucking labor, and the political economy of the industry. In most of the public rhetoric about the threat of the self-driving truck, the trucker is seen as a displaced party. He is displaced both physically and economically: removed from the cab of the truck, and from his means of economic provision. The robot has replaced his imperfect, disobedient, tired, and inefficient body, rendering him redundant, irrelevant, and jobless. But the reality is more complicated. The intrusion of automation into the truck cab certainly presents a threat to the trucker, but the threat is not solely or even primarily experienced, as it is so often described, as displacement. The trucker is still in the cab, doing the work of truck driving—but he is joined there by intelligent systems that monitor his body directly. Hats that monitor his brain waves and head position, vests that track his heart rate, cameras trained on his eyelids for signs of fatigue or inattention: these systems flash lights in his face, jolt his seat, and send reports to his dispatcher or even his family members should the trucker’s focus waver. As more trucking firms integrate such technologies into their safety programs, truckers are not being displaced by intelligent systems so much as they are experiencing the emergence of intelligent systems as a compelled hybridization, a very intimate incursion into their work and bodies. This paper considers the dual, conflicting narratives of job replacement by robots and of bodily integration with robots, to assess the true range of AI's potential effects on low-wage work.

Cycling Safety: From Crash Data Analysis to a Naturalistic Cycling Study (October 27, 2021 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88208 88208-21651370@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 27, 2021 2:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Connected and Automated Transportation

The safety issues of cycling have become an increasing concern. This presentation, led by Drs. Shan Bao and Fred Feng, describes two unique studies related to cycling safety, from crash data analysis to a recent naturalistic cycling study in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The Crash Report Sampling System data was used in this study to identify significant factors that impact cyclists’ crash injury levels. In the naturalistic cycling study, a fleet of four electric bikes was instrumented with cameras and GPS and was given to study participants as a substitute for their own bicycle. A total of over 5,000 miles of riding data from 77 subjects were collected over two years. The dataset could be used for studying the interactions between motorists and cyclists on real-world roadways.

Abstract:
Molecular classification has transformed the diagnosis and treatment of diffuse gliomas, creating targets for precision therapies. However, timely and efficient access to molecular diagnostic methods remains difficult, causing a significant barrier to deliver molecularly-targeted therapies. We aim to develop an innovative point-of-care diagnostic screening method that provides rapid and accurate molecular classification of diffuse gliomas through artificial intelligence and optical imaging in order to improve the comprehensive care of brain tumor patients.

Detecting white supremacist speech on social media
Wednesday, November 3, 1pm ET

Social media have been repeatedly shown to harbor white supremacist networks, enabling far-right extremists to find one another, recruit and radicalize new members, and normalize their hate. In order to address the problem of white supremacist speech on social media, platforms must first be able to identify it.

In this talk, Libby Hemphill will present research to understand what white supremacist speech looks like, especially how it’s different from general or commonplace speech, and to determine whether white supremacists try to adapt to avoid detection from social media platforms’ current content moderation systems.

ISR Insights Speaker Series is a series focusing on the research happening at ISR.

Abstract
My research group works in the area of mathematical oncology, where we use mathematical models to decipher the complex networks of reactions inside of cancer cells and interactions between cells. Immune cells use hundreds of biochemical reactions to respond to their environment, become activated, and kill cancer cells. Understanding the complexity of these reaction networks requires computational tools and mathematical models. We combine detailed, mechanistic modeling with machine learning to study these networks, better understand cancer and immune cells, and predict ways to control tumor growth. In this talk, I will present our recent work aimed at predicting the dynamics of immune cell behaviors across three scales: intracellular signaling pathways in CAR T cells, the collective behavior of a heterogeneous population of immune cells, and tumor-immune interactions at the tissue scale. Our models generate novel mechanistic insight into immune cell activation and predict the effects of immunotherapeutic strategies.

Abstract:

Subspace classifiers have been around for a long time, beginning with feature selection, which in essence was a subspace selection technique. This talk will discuss the kind of subspace classifiers that Bledsoe and Browning presented in their 1959 paper and from which there have been a variety of extensions which we will discuss.

The Bledsoe and Browning subspace classifier quantizes measurement space. Each quantized observation tuple corresponds to a cell in measurement space. A collection of subspaces are selected at random. In the original form the subspaces were mutually exclusive. For each class, each cell of a subspace contained a number dependent on the number of observations of the training data that fell into that cell. For each class those numbers were combined in ways not dissimilar to random forests. For a given observation tuple, the class with the highest vote count was selected as the assigned class.

We will discuss a variety of principled extensions of the technique and make some comparisons with Neural Networks.

Research Interests:

High-dimensional space clustering, pattern recognition, knowledge discovery and artificial intelligence

Professor Haralick began his work as one of the principal investigators of the NASA ERTS satellite data doing remote sensing image analysis.

He has made a series of contributions in the field of computer vision. In the high-level vision area, he has worked on inferring 3D geometry from one or more perspective projection views.] He has also identified a variety of vision problems which are special cases of the consistent labeling problem. His papers on consistent labeling, arrangements, relation homomorphism, matching, and tree search translate some specific computer vision problems to the more general combinatorial consistent labeling problem and then discuss the theory of the look-ahead operators that speed up the tree search. The most basic of these is called Forward Checking. This gives a framework for the control structure required in high-level vision problems. He has also extended the forward-checking tree search technique to propositional logic.

Talk title: Clinical Trajectory analysis to determine risk-factors of Copd: A COPDGene Study

Abstract:

Background

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) presents significant clinical heterogeneity and a wide variety of progression trajectories [1]. Clinical trajectory analysis (ClinTrajAn) is a powerful tool based on elastic principal graphs for the calculation of trajectories from large cross-sectional clinical data sets [2].

Aims and objectives

Our objective was to determine potential risk-factors by evaluate progression trajectories in COPD using ClinTrajAn on the COPDGene Phase I (baseline visit) dataset.

Methods

7883 participants, current and former smokers with GOLD 0 thru 4 COPD, from Phase I of the COPDGene study, were utilized for this work. 55 features were obtained for each subject, including demographics, spirometry, smoking history and computed tomography (CT), which included Parametric Response Mapping (PRM). Developed by our group, PRM is capable of simultaneously measuring small airways disease and emphysema which are the main contributors of airflow limitations in COPD. The resulting data matrix was analyzed with ClinTrajAn.

Results

A principal tree, with 13 branch segments and 8 termini, was generated (Figure 1). There was a clearly recognized trajectory from healthier subjects through decreasing lung function and increasing age (Figure 1 A), increasing in GOLD (Figure 1 B), to an emphysema high terminus (Figure 1 C). Notably this method illustrated numerous branching points along this trajectory.

Conclusions

In this study we used ClinTrajAn to obtain a map of disease progression trajectories in COPD including clinically recognized pathogenesis. Our next steps will be to further validate this approach using longitudinal data from the COPDGene follow-up visits.

Abstract:

Epigenetic control of gene expression is highly cell-type- and context-specific. Yet, despite its complexity, gene regulatory logic can be broken down into modular components consisting of a transcription factor (TF) activating or repressing the expression of a target gene through its binding to a cis-regulatory region. Recent advances in joint profiling of transcription and chromatin accessibility with single-cell resolution offer unprecedented opportunities to interrogate such regulatory logic. Here, we propose a nonparametric approach, TRIPOD, to detect and characterize three-way relationships between a TF, its target gene, and the accessibility of the TF’s binding site, using single-cell RNA and ATAC multiomic data. We apply TRIPOD to interrogate cell-type-specific regulatory logic in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and contrast our results to detections from enhancer databases, cis-eQTL studies, ChIP-seq experiments, and TF knockdown/knockout studies. We then apply TRIPOD to mouse embryonic brain data during neurogenesis and gliogenesis and identified known and novel putative regulatory relationships, validated by ChIP-seq and PLAC-seq. Finally, we demonstrate TRIPOD on SHARE-seq data of differentiating mouse hair follicle cells and identify lineage-specific regulation supported by histone marks for gene activation and super-enhancer annotations.

Hosted by: Joshua Welch, PhD

Speaker will be in-person and the seminar will be live-streamed via Zoom.

A linear approach is the simplest way to model the relationship between an exposure and an outcome. But a linear approach is limited in only capturing the association that is either strictly increasing or strictly decreasing. This might not adequately represent the associations at the extremes of the distribution for an exposure. For example, in Nguyen et al. 2021, we found that modeling a linear association between an exposure, body mass index (BMI) and an outcome, all-cause mortality resulted in a null relationship (i.e. there is no association between BMI and mortality risk.) This is nonsensical as we intuitively understand that participants with the lowest and highest BMI are at increased risk for all-cause mortality. Our intuition was confirmed when we considered non-linear associations between BMI and all-cause mortality. Furthermore, we observed that the prediction performance for the linear model were on par with those of the non-linear models, but this creates challenges in selecting the most appropriate model. Thus, we developed a visualization tool, called the stairway plots, to compare the linear and non-linear shapes of the associations to help select the most appropriate model. In Nguyen et al. 2021, we used the stairway plots to characterize the non-linear associations between physiological indicators and all-cause mortality. These plots enable us to assess the relevance of the clinical thresholds in differentiating patients who are at high vs. low risk for mortality. Now, we are currently using this visualization tool to study the non-linear associations between chemical exposures and cancer-specific mortality to quantify the cancer mortality risk found at human relevant doses. We plan to deploy this tool as an R package to enable the characterization of linear vs non-linear associations between any exposures and any outcomes of interest.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Bio-Tech, Entrepreneurship, and Coding Organization

On Monday, December 06, 2021 @ 6:00PM-7:00PM ET, come virtually listen to Jennifer Nehil (UM MS Chemistry; former R&D Technician and Chemist at BASF; current Brewing Material and Flavor Chemist at Molson Coors) discuss the brewing process, innovation and new product selection, and flavor chemistry, and Ralph Mertz (UM BS Mechanical Engineering; former Chrysler Engineer and Anheuser-Busch IT, Operations & Engineering Manager, and Financial Planning Leader; current Anheuser-Busch Global Vertical Operations Finance and Strategy Senior Director) discuss standard company performance metrics, corporate investments and collaborations, asset management, and a global strategy case study. The event will conclude with an open Q&A.

Anheuser-Busch InBev, or AB InBev, is a publicly-traded multinational drinks conglomerate headquartered in Belgium. It’s the world’s largest beer brewer by both volume and revenue, operating more than 600 beer brands in 150 countries. AB InBev was formed in 2008 through the acquisition of Budweiser brewer Anheuser-Busch by Belgian conglomerate InBev—which is itself a merger of Stella Artois-maker Interbrew and Brazil’s AmBev. In 2015, AB InBev acquired its biggest rival in North America, SABMiller, for $107 billion. The deal required the sale of a number of SABMiller brands, including Miller and Coors, to satisfy antitrust regulators. In recent years, acknowledging the consumer trend away from mass-produced lagers, AB InBev has rapidly acquired U.S. and international craft brewers including Goose Island, Blue Point, and Camden Town Brewery. Some of its popular brands include Budweiser, Michelo, Corona, Bush, and Natural Light. Learn more at https://www.anheuser-busch.com/about.html .

Molson Coors is a publicly-traded multinational drinks conglomerate with twin headquarters in Golden, Colorado, and Montreal, Canada, though officially considered a U.S. firm. In sales, it holds the number one position in Canada, the number two rank in the United Kingdom, and the number three slot in the U.S. Coors Light, the firm's biggest-seller, is the fourth best-selling beer in the United States; Molson Canadian is the best seller in English-speaking Canada; and Carling ranks as the best-selling lager in the United Kingdom. Other key brands include Blue Moon, Dos Equiz, and La Colombe. In 2005, it was formed through a merger of two companies with deep roots — Molson Inc., established in 1786, the oldest brewery in North America; and Adolph Coors, established in 1873 — both of which were still under control of their respective founding families. Following the merger, the Coors and Molson families jointly controlled Molson Coors, each holding one-third of the voting power. Learn more at https://www.molsoncoors.com/about .

ZOOM MEETING

Passcode: CSCS

Abstract: The process of exploiting or "hacking" a software vulnerability can, in many cases, be understood as the process of discovering and then programming what Halvar Flake has called a "weird machine" -- a spontaneous virtual machine that supervenes on the *intended* finite state machine that the vulnerable software in question implements. A weird machine has its own peculiar instruction set and program semantics, designed by no one and existing entirely by accident. In this seminar, I will be demonstrating the utility of *genetic programming* (GP) as a technique for exploring the space of programs implicit in a particular variety of "weird machine": the variety exploited by *return-oriented programming* (ROP), a remote code execution technique that, over the past two decades, has been used by attackers to subvert the separation of writeable and executable memory imposed by various operating systems as a security feature. I will show how it is possible to evolve ROP payloads and breed them to carry out various tasks, by means of applying certain selective pressures to "populations" of integer sequences, equipped with the genetic operators of mutation and crossover. We will look particularly closely at an observed correlation between the availability of crossover (a crude form of sexual reproduction) and the likelihood of a population to discover recombinable ROP "gadgets" when initialized with a pool of random integers.

Broadband Internet Access: Implications for the Health of People with Disabilities (January 13, 2022 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90220 90220-21668731@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 13, 2022 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research

Webinar Description:
Broadband internet access plays a critical role in modern society, facilitating long-distance communication, access to information, and health care interventions, as well as multiple opportunities for social participation. Internet access is increasingly necessary for work, filing for unemployment benefits, and receiving health care through telemedicine, making it a key component of the social determinants of health. It is estimated that one in four Americans does not have internet access or the computing devices needed to engage in these activities. Yet little is known about the impact of broadband internet access for the health of people with disabilities. This webinar will present new research findings and discuss current policy implications related to broadband internet for the health of adults with disability.

This webinar is free and open to the public. Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) services will be available to provide live closed captions.

The content of this webinar has been developed under a grant from the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR #90RTHF0001). NIDILRR is a Center within the Administration for Community Living (ACL), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Organized By: Precision Health

Join us for a frank discussion about the law and ethics of health research that relies on artificial intelligence and machine learning, and the impact it can have on treatment and perpetuation of health disparities. We’ll discuss legal and ethical issues related to biased algorithms, liability, regulation, data ownership, and responsible use of health data.

Incorporating perspectives from a computational social scientist (Abigail Jacobs, Assistant Professor of Complex Systems and Information, LSA) and a legal scholar with expertise in the responsible use of big data (Nicholson Price, Professor of Law), this webinar will provoke thought and provide important information to help clinicians and data scientists continue their research while also working to improve care and reduce health disparities.

The event will be moderated by Vicki Ellingrod, PharmD, Associate Research Dean and Professor of Pharmacy.

This webinar is the fourth in the Precision Health educational series: "Demystifying the Data, Processes, and Tools that Are Changing Clinical Care."

WDI, U-M Poverty Solutions Hosts Inclusive Fintech Pioneer Collins (February 3, 2022 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/91854 91854-21684138@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 3, 2022 10:00am
Location:
Organized By: William Davidson Institute

Traditional surveys and questionnaires can be imprecise methods for understanding the needs and motivations of low-income and vulnerable populations. In a Feb. 17 virtual discussion, acclaimed author and entrepreneur Daryl Collins will explore how technology can help researchers, nonprofits and businesses engage and serve these communities around the world.

During the talk, Collins will share examples of how her company, Decodis, is using technology to collect and analyze qualitative data in a more scalable and lower-cost manner. Collins will share examples of collecting data using WhatsApp audio responses to understand changes in gender norms and assessing Google Play reviews of digital lending apps in India. In both examples, Collins will share how she and her team used Natural Language Processing (NLP) – a common market tool - to detect key topics and phrases to unpack the meaning of the responses. She’ll also share how she and her team analyzed speech signals (such as pitch, duration of responses and voice modulation) in the audio files to determine whether the respondent was engaged in their responses, when the respondent was unsure, and when the respondent gave them a “canned response” — i.e., telling the researchers what he/she thought the researchers wanted to hear.

The William Davidson Institute and the University of Michigan’s Poverty Solutions are co-sponsoring the talk, which begins at 5 p.m. is free and open to the public.

As a pioneer working at the intersection of finance and human vulnerability, Collins has built a broad portfolio of work with financial service providers, foundations, bilateral donors and governments. Collins’ work is grounded in a deep understanding of the financial lives of individuals. She is the author of the ground-breaking “Portfolios of the Poor” and creator of the Financial Diaries, a research tool used in over 10 countries, including South Africa, Kenya, Mozambique and Tanzania. 

People living at or near poverty levels are less likely to speak their minds when responding to surveys and other efforts to collect data. This hesitancy is understandable, but it also creates a real challenge for researchers, enterprises and policymakers to better understand their needs, said Heather Esper, Director of WDI’s Performance Measurement & Improvement group.

“Daryl Collins is truly a pioneer in collecting and analyzing data to better understand the lives of low-income and vulnerable individuals at scale,” Esper said. “The qualitative methods she uses shed more light on what individuals are saying by accounting for how they say it.”

Collins recently established Decodis with a team of linguists and Natural Language Processing data scientists. Decodis seeks to advance scale and robustness in qualitative research techniques by providing tech-led consumer research methods that are insightful, scalable and low cost. The Decodis team is currently working on a range of projects across a breadth of countries, languages and sectors to explore new ways of both collecting and analyzing open-end response data. 

Collins holds bachelor’s and master's degrees in economics from the London School of Economics and a Ph.D. from New York University. She spent the last decade as Managing Director and CEO of BFA, a niche financial inclusion consulting practice with offices in Boston, New York, Nairobi, Accra, New Delhi and Medellin.

The MinION is a recent-to-market handheld nanopore sequencer. It can be used to determine the whole genome of a target virus in a biological sample. Its Read Until feature allows us to skip sequencing a majority of non-target reads (DNA/RNA fragments), which constitutes more than 99% of all reads in a typical sample. However, it does not have any on-board computing, which significantly limits its portability. We analyze the performance of a Read Until metagenomic pipeline for detecting target viruses and identifying strain-specific mutations. We find new sources of performance bottlenecks (basecaller in classification of a read) that are not addressed by past genomics accelerators. We present SquiggleFilter, a novel hardware accelerated dynamic time warping (DTW) based filter that directly analyzes MinION’s raw squiggles and filters everything except target viral reads, thereby avoiding the expensive basecalling step. We show that our 14.3W 13.25mm2 accelerator has 274 × greater throughput and 3481 × lower latency than existing GPU-based solutions while consuming half the power, enabling Read Until for the next generation of nanopore sequencers.

Using AI to Study Problems of Innovation in Science and Business (February 4, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91747 91747-21682702@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 4, 2022 1:30pm

Innovation involves recombining past knowledge. The increasing rate at which scientific knowledge is expanding should bode well for innovation. Nevertheless, new problems related to the appraisal and valuation of new ideas and inventions are inhibiting innovation. One problem is that more scientific studies fail than pass replication tests, which has led to a deep skepticism of science, billions in economic losses, funding cuts, and a weakened job market in psychology. A second problem is that patent review has slowed while patent examiner disagreement and wrongful rejections of meritorious patent applications have risen. In this exploratory study, we investigate the potential of AI and machine learning to enhance the innovation evaluation process.
In study 1, we trained an artificial intelligence model to estimate a paper’s replicability using ground truth data on studies that had passed or failed manual replication tests, and then tested the model’s generalizability on an extensive set of out-of-sample studies. The model predicts replicability better than the base rate of reviewers and on part with prediction markets, the best present-day method for predicting replicability. We then used the model to conduct a discipline-wide census of replicability in Psychology. The analysis covers 14,129 papers, the near universe of all papers published in Psychology journals over a 20-year period in the six major subfields of Developmental, Social, Clinical, Cognitive, Organizational, and Personality psychology. We find replicability varies by subfield, research design methods, but not institutional prestige. Further, researchers’ past research records and social media strongly predict replicability; in particular, media attention predicts non-replication.
In study 2, we use new data on almost 4,000,000 U.S. patent applications, 2,000,000 EU patents, and 250,000 Canadian patents to test AI’s ability to identify patentable inventions and their future citation impact. We report three key findings. First, AI accurately predicts human experts’ decisions in spotting meritorious innovation at agreement levels of up to 95%, which is remarkable given the degree of variation and potential disagreement among individual patent examiners. Second, although hit patents disproportionately drive investments and innovation, current models and analysts have been unable to predict a patent’s future influence. We find that AI accurately predicts an invention’s future influence from application data, providing a new view of technological trajectories at the earliest time possible. Third, AI can reduce review process biases and misevaluations. Using applications that were mistakenly rejected by examiners but should have been accepted, AI model would made 47% fewer wrongful rejections.
In the case of both scientific papers and patents, AI appears to garner error-reducing information not from the application’s quantified data but from its descriptive free-text, which machines quantify better than humans. We discuss how these findings can improve innovation, scientific training, and performance.

American Gene Technologies (AGT) is a private company developing and commercializing genetic medicines targeting major diseases, including HIV/AIDS, Phenylketonuria (PKU) and Hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer, or HCC). Its drug candidates have achieved initial proof of concept in preclinical studies, are in clinical trials, and have potential to deliver cost-effective therapies that are better targeted and more potent with fewer side effects. AGT’s drugs will treat symptomatic diseases, but are intended to provide durable cures that extend the length and improve the quality of patients’ lives using its unique gene-delivery platform.

This event is co-hosted by two student organizations: biology-focused Michigan Synthetic Biology Team ("MSBT"), business-focused Bio-Tech, Entrepreneurship, and Coding Organization ("BECO"), and engineering-focused Food Industry Student Association ("FISA").

Organized By: Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science

Laura Lindberg
Principal Research Scientist, Guttmacher Institute

Dr. Laura Lindberg is a Principal Research Scientist at the Guttmacher Institute, where she has worked for nearly two decades. As a social demographer, Dr. Lindberg focuses on measuring the trends, determinants and consequences of sexual and reproductive health in the U.S. population and working to improve the quality of survey data on sexual and reproductive behaviors. She currently has two NICHD grants on measurement of core demographic constructs, abortion and contraceptive failure rates. Over the course of her career, she has conducted policy-related research on adolescent sexual behaviors, sex education, adolescent preventive services, unintended pregnancy and contraceptive use. Dr. Lindberg received her undergraduate degree from Princeton University; she earned her MA and PhD in sociology at the University of Michigan, where her favorite class was on survey research methods with Bob Groves.

Quality of Abortion Reporting in the US and Pathways to Improvement

Despite the fact that an estimated one in five pregnancies in the United States end in induced abortion, abortion remains a highly sensitive, stigmatized and thus difficult-to-measure behavior. I will present on a body of recent research designed to help to develop new techniques and improve existing methodologies for measuring abortion reporting. First, I share a series of quantitative analyses to identify the scope and correlates of abortion underreporting for three of the most commonly used national fertility surveys in the United States: the National Survey of Family Growth, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, and the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health. These analyses informed the development of new question designs were explored in cognitive interviews and experimentally tested and evaluated in a national survey. Abortion underreporting in population surveys has far-reaching implications for research in sexual and reproductive health and maternal and child health.

WDI, U-M Poverty Solutions Hosts Inclusive Fintech Pioneer Collins (February 17, 2022 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91854 91854-21683556@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 17, 2022 5:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William Davidson Institute

Traditional surveys and questionnaires can be imprecise methods for understanding the needs and motivations of low-income and vulnerable populations. In a Feb. 17 virtual discussion, acclaimed author and entrepreneur Daryl Collins will explore how technology can help researchers, nonprofits and businesses engage and serve these communities around the world.

During the talk, Collins will share examples of how her company, Decodis, is using technology to collect and analyze qualitative data in a more scalable and lower-cost manner. Collins will share examples of collecting data using WhatsApp audio responses to understand changes in gender norms and assessing Google Play reviews of digital lending apps in India. In both examples, Collins will share how she and her team used Natural Language Processing (NLP) – a common market tool - to detect key topics and phrases to unpack the meaning of the responses. She’ll also share how she and her team analyzed speech signals (such as pitch, duration of responses and voice modulation) in the audio files to determine whether the respondent was engaged in their responses, when the respondent was unsure, and when the respondent gave them a “canned response” — i.e., telling the researchers what he/she thought the researchers wanted to hear.

The William Davidson Institute and the University of Michigan’s Poverty Solutions are co-sponsoring the talk, which begins at 5 p.m. is free and open to the public.

As a pioneer working at the intersection of finance and human vulnerability, Collins has built a broad portfolio of work with financial service providers, foundations, bilateral donors and governments. Collins’ work is grounded in a deep understanding of the financial lives of individuals. She is the author of the ground-breaking “Portfolios of the Poor” and creator of the Financial Diaries, a research tool used in over 10 countries, including South Africa, Kenya, Mozambique and Tanzania. 

People living at or near poverty levels are less likely to speak their minds when responding to surveys and other efforts to collect data. This hesitancy is understandable, but it also creates a real challenge for researchers, enterprises and policymakers to better understand their needs, said Heather Esper, Director of WDI’s Performance Measurement & Improvement group.

“Daryl Collins is truly a pioneer in collecting and analyzing data to better understand the lives of low-income and vulnerable individuals at scale,” Esper said. “The qualitative methods she uses shed more light on what individuals are saying by accounting for how they say it.”

Collins recently established Decodis with a team of linguists and Natural Language Processing data scientists. Decodis seeks to advance scale and robustness in qualitative research techniques by providing tech-led consumer research methods that are insightful, scalable and low cost. The Decodis team is currently working on a range of projects across a breadth of countries, languages and sectors to explore new ways of both collecting and analyzing open-end response data. 

Collins holds bachelor’s and master's degrees in economics from the London School of Economics and a Ph.D. from New York University. She spent the last decade as Managing Director and CEO of BFA, a niche financial inclusion consulting practice with offices in Boston, New York, Nairobi, Accra, New Delhi and Medellin.

Abstract:

In the Peixoto lab we use genomic approaches to understand gene expression and its epigenetic regulation in response to learning and sleep deprivation, and its alteration in autism spectrum disorders. This requires combining behavioral paradigms in mice, molecular biology and the analysis of high-throughput data in the brain in vivo. It also requires using the right data analysis tools to be able to capture the effect of learning or sleep in the context of an ever-active brain. In this talk we will discuss the effects of learning on chromatin accessibility and the effects of sleep loss in gene expression, with an emphasis on how data analysis influences our ability to detect novel and reproducible biology.

Short bio:

Lucia Peixoto received her bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry from the Universidad de la Republica in her native Uruguay in 2002. She subsequently earned her Ph.D. at The University of Pennsylvania under the mentorship of Dr. David S. Roos, using genomic and computational biology approaches to understand host-pathogen interactions. She completed her postdoctoral training in Neuroscience with Dr. Ted Abel at The University of Pennsylvania in 2015. During her fellowship, she was also a trainee at the Training Program in Neurodevelopmental disabilities at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. As a trainee at CHOP, she completed a clinical internship at the Center for Autism Research under the supervision of Dr. Robert Schultz. She became an Assistant Professor at Washington State University in 2015 and has since been recognized with a K01 Early Career Faculty award from NIH/NINDS and a pilot award from the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative. She is also a member of the board of directors of the International Society of computational biology (ISCB) and cochair the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion committee of ISCB. Her lab uses behavior, electrophysiology, molecular biology and genomic approaches to understand how sleep and learning modulate transcription and how this may be altered in Autism Spectrum Disorders.

Networks are a valuable tool for quantifying a variety of biological relationships, from gene co-expression to cellular proximity. Comparison of these networks can thus shed light on how biological systems vary in different settings, such as across treatment groups or disease states. In this presentation, I present a collection of tools for quantifying and visualizing differences across a set of networks.

This presentation will be held in 2036 Palmer Commons. There will also be a remote viewing option via Zoom.

Recent years have seen astounding growth in the deployment of AI systems in critical domains such as autonomous vehicles, criminal justice, healthcare, hiring, housing, human resource management, law enforcement, and public safety, where decisions taken by AI agents directly impact human lives. Consequently, there is an increasing concern if these decisions can be trusted to be correct, reliable, fair, and safe, especially under adversarial attacks. How then can we deliver on the promise of the benefits of AI but address these scenarios that have life-critical consequences for people and society? In short, how can we achieve trustworthy AI?

Under the umbrella of trustworthy computing, there is a long-established framework employing formal methods and verification techniques for ensuring trust properties like reliability, security, and privacy of traditional software and hardware systems. Just as for trustworthy computing, formal verification could be an effective approach for building trust in AI-based systems. However, the set of properties needs to be extended beyond reliability, security, and privacy to include fairness, robustness, probabilistic accuracy under uncertainty, and other properties yet to be identified and defined. Further, there is a need for new property specifications and verification techniques to handle new kinds of artifacts, e.g., data distributions, probabilistic programs, and machine learning-based models that may learn and adapt automatically over time. This talk will pose a new research agenda, from a formal methods perspective, for us to increase trust in AI systems.

Moving health products from the research and development stage to the clinic is a long and costly process that involves many actors, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In these markets, global organizations such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria, and Gavi play a significant role in moving health products through the process. These organizations influence market behavior at the research and development, manufacturing, procurement and delivery stages with the hopes of increasing access to life saving health products to patients in LMICs. Their efforts have been effective. For example, over the last 20 years the number of deaths caused by AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria has been reduced by 46% in countries where Global Fund works. Gavi has helped immunize 760 million children in the last 21 years, preventing over 13 million deaths worldwide. These are significant achievements, but are there opportunities to better engage some of the other actors in this space, particularly those from the private sector? We will explore this idea through discussion with the panelists representing the Gates Foundation, the Global Fund and representing the Gates Foundation, the RBM Partnership to End Malaria, and The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB & Malaria.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Learning Health Sciences

Unstructured clinical data, such as clinical notes and reports, along with the computational infrastructure and tools, have seen an increasing demand from the research community in the last years, mostly fueled by recent advances in statistical and machine-learning approaches to data insight. We are meeting this demand with the Information Commons – a research data platform that hosts and provides direct access to de-identified data, advanced analytics tools, and computational environments for our research community. 

While we are realizing access to de-identified electronic health records, images, omics and biobank data, this session highlights the progress made to provide more than 110 million de-identified notes to the research community. We developed and operationalized a fully automatic de-identification algorithm and implemented EMERSE, a user-friendly tool for non-programmatic access and sophisticated textual searches on the de-identified clinical notes.   

As of December 2021 Our de-identification algorithm and our clinical notes are certified de-identified and are currently available for the UCSF researchers with IRD. The presentation covers the entire pipeline from data extraction to publication and data access focusing on the secured computational infrastructure. Furthermore, we discuss the rigorous evaluation techniques to ensure the quality of the deidentification process and the resulting data according to HIPAA and UCSF Security and Privacy protection requirements. Lastly, we showcase highlights from our research collaborations enabled by this new resource of machine-redacted, unstructured clinical notes linked with de-identified structured EHR data using EMERSE and their impact on the research community.

Abstract:
Machine learning on graph data (a.k.a. graph machine learning) has attracted tremendous attention from both academia and industry, with many successful applications ranging from social recommendation to traffic forecasting, even including high-stake scenarios. However, despite the huge empricial success in common cases, popular graph machine learning models often have degraded performance in certain conditions. Given the complexity and diversity of real-world graph data, it is crucial to understand and optimize the model behaviors in specific contexts.

In this talk, I will introduce my recent work on analyzing the robustness and fairness of graph neural networks (GNNs). In the first part of the talk, I will show that existing GNNs could suffer from model misspecification, due to an implicit conditional independence assumption. This observation motivates our design of a copula-based learning framework that improves upon many existing GNNs. In the second part the talk, I will go beyond average model performance and investigate the fairness of GNNs. Through a generalization analysis on GNNs, I will show that there is a predictable disparity in GNN performance among different subgroups of test nodes. I will also discuss potential mitigation strategies.

Ipek Bilgen and Amelia Burke-Garcia - The Use of Advanced Social Media Targeting Methodology During Recruitment of Hard-to-Reach Audiences (March 9, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91859 91859-21683564@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 9, 2022 12:00pm

The Use of Advanced Social Media Targeting Methodology During Recruitment of Hard-to-Reach Audiences
Ipek Bilgen and Amelia Burke-Garcia

One of the major benefits of social media ad-based survey recruitment is the use of various types of data to target ads to users of these platforms. To target users of social media, researchers can use the basic demographic and geographic that social media platforms currently provide, or they can use enhanced data that can be embedded within the social media platforms supplied by third party providers based on external data sources, e.g., historical purchase data. We will examine whether and how much this enhanced data can impact ad based social media recruitment capabilities to reach niche and hard-to-reach audiences.

To investigate the targeting efficiency, quality, and cost differences among these two approaches that can be used to target audiences within social media platforms, NORC piloted a strategic initiative research study in 2020. A web survey was constructed using existing items from national surveys on individual’s health and online habits, as well as new items related to life changes during the pandemic. Two main audience groups that are generally hard to recruit through probability-based studies were targeted – young adults, ages 18-24, and people with low education (defined as anyone who has completed high school as the highest level of education or lower). Five sets of tailored ads with unique URLs that linked to a web-based survey were designed and launched via Facebook and Instagram. Two sets used basic targeting to recruit the sample and the other three used the enhanced targeting. This brown bag will present the design of the study, our approach to the ads and targeting, and what we learned through our examination of the differences between the samples obtained from basic and advanced targeting on the dimensions of recruited sample composition, survey estimates, and recruitment costs.

Dr. Ipek Bilgen is a Senior Research Methodologist in the Methodology and Quantitative Social Sciences (MQSS) Department at NORC at the University of Chicago. Bilgen is AmeriSpeak Panel’s lead research methodologist. She also directs web and emerging technologies strategic initiative at NORC. She has over a decade of experience in applied survey methods and received both her Ph.D. and M.S. from the Survey Research and Methodology (SRAM) Program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Bilgen has published and co-authored articles in Journal of Official Statistics, Public Opinion Quarterly, Survey Practice, Social Currents, Social Science Computer Review, Field Methods, SAGE Research Methods, and Quality and Quantity on issues related to interviewing methodology, web surveys, internet sampling and recruitment approaches, cognition and communication, and measurement error in surveys. Her current research investigates panel recruitment and retention, total survey error sources in probability-based online panels, the use of web and emerging technologies in surveys, and questionnaire design and survey implementation issues. Her research also examines studies related to the use of auxiliary data for improved efficiency in surveys that use address-based sampling (ABS) and active survey recruitment through social media and search engines.

Bilgen is currently serving as Associate Editor of Public Opinion Quarterly (POQ). In the past, she has served as an elected member of American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR)’s Executive Council as Membership and Chapter Relations Chair. She has also served on Midwest Association for Public Opinion Research (MAPOR)’s Executive Council as President, Vice President, Conference Chair, and Secretary Treasurer.

Dr. Amelia Burke-Garcia is a seasoned health communications professional with nearly 20 years of experience in health communication program planning, implementation and evaluation, with specific expertise in developing and evaluating digital and social media communication and research. At NORC, she leads the organization's Digital Strategy and Outreach Program Area, where she designs, develops, and implements new digital and mobile data collection methodologies and communication solutions. Most recently, she acted as director for the award-winning How Right Now/Que Hacer Ahora campaign, which is aimed at increasing people’s ability to cope and be resilient amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. She currently leads two grants focused on exploring vaccine hesitancy amongst communities of color which build on her earlier work exploring messages and motivations of vaccine hesitant or refusing social media influencers (findings from which were published in Vaccine in 2020). Over the course of her career, Dr. Burke-Garcia has spearheaded some of the most innovative communication programs and studies on a variety of health topics including designing a targeted social media intervention with mommy bloggers to help social media users lower their risk for breast cancer and leveraging MeetUp groups and the Waze mobile application to move people to action around flu vaccination and HIV testing, respectively. She is the author of the book entitled, Influencing Health: A Comprehensive Guide to Working with Online Influencers and has been named to VeryWellHealth.com’s list of 10 Modern Female Innovators Shaking Up Health Care. She holds a PhD in Communication from George Mason University, a Master’s degree in Communication, Culture, and Technology from Georgetown University, and a joint honours Bachelor’s degree in International Development Studies and Humanistic Studies from McGill University.

Modern society sits at the intersection of two crucial questions: What does it mean when artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly governs our liberties? And what are the consequences for the people AI is biased against? When MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini discovers that most facial-recognition software does not accurately identify darker-skinned faces and the faces of women, she delves into an investigation of widespread bias in algorithms. As it turns out, artificial intelligence is not neutral, and women are leading the charge to ensure our civil rights are protected.

Coded Bias explores the fallout of Joy Buolamwini´s startling discovery that facial recognition does not see dark-skinned faces and women accurately, and her journey to push for the first-ever legislation in the U.S. to govern against bias in the algorithms that impact us all.

Filmmaker Shalini Kantayya’s Coded Bias premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival to critical acclaim. Coded Bias was broadcast nationally on the Emmy-award-winning series Independent Lens and began streaming on Netflix globally in Spring 2021. The film won a SIMA Award for Best Director and has been nominated for a Critics’ Choice Award, and an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Documentary, among others.

Project Management Certification (March 13, 2022 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91083 91083-21676628@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, March 13, 2022 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Tauber Institute for Global Operations

Once again, the Tauber Institute, in conjunction with the International Project Management Association (IPMA), is sponsoring a Project Management certification class and exam for graduate business and engineering students, alumni, and staff.

In order to participate, you will need to reflect upon a project management experience (for example: a work project, an engineering design experience/senior capstone, Ross' MAP project, Tauber team project, etc). If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel, MAP, or other another class), the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session.

The cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595, however, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students:
$550 for U-M alumni or public
$425 for U-M students, U-M employees, or Tauber alumni
$325 for U-M Ross School of Business or U-M College of Engineering staff
$225 for Tauber Institute students
$145 for previous students to retake the exam

Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 13 (1:00 pm - 4:00 pm)
Sunday, March 27 (1:00 pm - 4:00 pm)
Sunday, April 10 (1:00 pm - 4:00 pm)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for May 1, 2022 (11:00 am) virtually. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Project Management is a powerful skill set to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!

REGISTRATION: Please register through iMpact by clicking here:

NOTE: The non-refundable fees

HOSTED BY: Tauber Institute for Global Operations. For questions about this event, please contact tauberinstitute@umich.edu or visit tauber.umich.edu.

What is IPMA Level D® (Certified Project Management Associate)? The IPMA Level D is an internationally recognized entry-level qualification in the area of project management. This designation, which demonstrates the individual's ability to understand the basics of project management, is similar to the exam-oriented, knowledge-based certifications of other major Project Management associations. For many, Level D® is the first step towards a professional project or program manager role. It is the first step in a sequence (C, B and A) to be earned by demonstration of success in larger PM responsibility sets.

Does Cryptocurrency Have a Future? (March 25, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/93617 93617-21706429@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 25, 2022 12:00pm

It’s increasingly hard to find anyone to seriously defend the current state of cryptocurrencies. The predominant use of cryptocurrencies is speculation, which is almost certain to result in a bubble and crash. The second most common use is for fraud and crime of one kind or another. The largest currencies, notably BitCoin, are now among the most egregious contributors to climate change.

In this informal talk and discussion, Nathaniel Borenstein will explain how the very concept of cryptocurrency has been hijacked by people and groups with personal or political agendas. In particular, he will try to separate the current generation of cryptocurrencies and their problems from the wider range of digital currencies that have existed in the past and are likely to exist in the future, and will discuss how, if they were better designed and regulated, cryptocurrencies might yet play a valuable role in the economy.

Nathaniel hopes for a lively discussion rather than just a lecture. While he will not hide his beliefs, he will try to be aware of and transparent about his own biases, and welcomes a constructive discussion with anyone holding opposing views.

Nathaniel Borenstein has been an Internet innovator since 1980. In 1994, he founded the first online payment system, First Virtual Holdings, and in 2000, he founded the first network-based point-of-sale system, NetPOS. He has followed developments in online payments since the 1980's, and he sees Bitcoin as a genuine threat to human civilization.

Project Management Certification (March 27, 2022 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91083 91083-21677007@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, March 27, 2022 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Tauber Institute for Global Operations

Once again, the Tauber Institute, in conjunction with the International Project Management Association (IPMA), is sponsoring a Project Management certification class and exam for graduate business and engineering students, alumni, and staff.

In order to participate, you will need to reflect upon a project management experience (for example: a work project, an engineering design experience/senior capstone, Ross' MAP project, Tauber team project, etc). If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel, MAP, or other another class), the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session.

The cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595, however, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students:
$550 for U-M alumni or public
$425 for U-M students, U-M employees, or Tauber alumni
$325 for U-M Ross School of Business or U-M College of Engineering staff
$225 for Tauber Institute students
$145 for previous students to retake the exam

Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 13 (1:00 pm - 4:00 pm)
Sunday, March 27 (1:00 pm - 4:00 pm)
Sunday, April 10 (1:00 pm - 4:00 pm)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for May 1, 2022 (11:00 am) virtually. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Project Management is a powerful skill set to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!

REGISTRATION: Please register through iMpact by clicking here:

NOTE: The non-refundable fees

HOSTED BY: Tauber Institute for Global Operations. For questions about this event, please contact tauberinstitute@umich.edu or visit tauber.umich.edu.

What is IPMA Level D® (Certified Project Management Associate)? The IPMA Level D is an internationally recognized entry-level qualification in the area of project management. This designation, which demonstrates the individual's ability to understand the basics of project management, is similar to the exam-oriented, knowledge-based certifications of other major Project Management associations. For many, Level D® is the first step towards a professional project or program manager role. It is the first step in a sequence (C, B and A) to be earned by demonstration of success in larger PM responsibility sets.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Information and Technology Services (ITS)

Dissonance is proud to present free viewing of The Feeling of Being Watched from March 28 to April 7, and on the afternoon of April 7 a discussion with film's director and Wallace House fellow Assia Boundaoui. Conversation will be facilitated by Wallace House Director Lynette Clemetson, and will be joined by Roya Ensafi and Tanisha Afnan.

About The Feeling of Being Watched
In the Arab-American neighborhood outside of Chicago where journalist and filmmaker Assia Boundaoui grew up, most of her neighbors think they have been under surveillance for over a decade. While investigating their experiences, Assia uncovers tens of thousands of pages of FBI documents that prove her hometown was the subject of one of the largest counter terrorism investigations ever conducted in the U.S. before 9/11, code named “Operation Vulgar Betrayal.” With unprecedented access, The Feeling of Being Watched weaves the personal and the political as it follows the filmmaker’s examination of why her community—including her own family—fell under blanket government surveillance. Assia struggles to disrupt the government secrecy shrouding what happened and takes the FBI to federal court to compel them to make the records they collected about her community public. In the process, she confronts long-hidden truths about the FBI’s relationship to her community. The Feeling of Being Watched follows Assia as she pieces together this secret FBI operation, while grappling with the effects of a lifetime of surveillance on herself and her family.

PDHP Workshop: Tools For Reproducible Research (March 28, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/93103 93103-21700723@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 28, 2022 9:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Institute for Social Research

Despite the recent increase in the amount and complexity of data available, the social sciences are nonetheless facing a reproducibility crisis as previous findings fail to replicate. Both of these trends highlight the need for improving reproducibility and collaboration in the social sciences, an increasingly important topic that is rarely covered in traditional academic training.

Please join as we conduct a new PDHP workshop titled “Tools For Reproducible Research,” presented by Alexandru Cernat (associate professor of social statistics, University of Manchester). This half-day workshop will cover the main concepts of reproducible research as well as best practices in the field (including meta-analyses, pre-registration, and sensitivity analysis), while mixing both lecture and practical application. Attendees will also get hands-on practice with state-of-the-art tools of reproducible research, such as research project management using R/RStudio and version control using Github.

Topics covered:
-Challenges to social research such as publication bias and specification bias
-Solutions to the reproducibility crisis: meta-analyses, pre-registration, and sensitivity analysis
-Tools for better research workflows: project management (via Rprojects and the renv package), version control via Github, and dynamic documents (via git, usethis and Rmarkdown)

As always, this workshop is free of cost and open to the public. Please RSVP for this event: https://pdhp.isr.umich.edu/workshops/

Women in Tech: Closing the Gap

Wednesday March 30, 4:00-5:30pm via Zoom.

Women are obtaining degrees in STEM but struggle joining and staying in the tech industry. Women make up 20% of engineering graduates, yet only 11% of practicing engineers are women. Nearly 40% of women who earn engineering degrees quit or never enter the profession. The primary reasons women are underrepresented in technology are lack of mentors; lack of female role models in the field; gender bias in the workplace; unequal growth opportunities compared to men; and unequal pay for the same positions. In 2018, 53% of women quit their STEM jobs because of these scenarios. Despite the obvious obstacles that women in technology face, their contributions have been exemplary. Join our panel of innovative Women in Technology as they discuss the importance of closing the gender gap in STEM; and the importance of increasing the female population in the field

Dissonance is proud to present free viewing of The Feeling of Being Watched from March 28 to April 7, and on the afternoon of April 7 a discussion with film's director and Wallace House fellow Assia Boundaoui. Conversation will be facilitated by Wallace House Director Lynette Clemetson, and will be joined by Roya Ensafi and Tanisha Afnan.

About The Feeling of Being Watched
In the Arab-American neighborhood outside of Chicago where journalist and filmmaker Assia Boundaoui grew up, most of her neighbors think they have been under surveillance for over a decade. While investigating their experiences, Assia uncovers tens of thousands of pages of FBI documents that prove her hometown was the subject of one of the largest counter terrorism investigations ever conducted in the U.S. before 9/11, code named “Operation Vulgar Betrayal.” With unprecedented access, The Feeling of Being Watched weaves the personal and the political as it follows the filmmaker’s examination of why her community—including her own family—fell under blanket government surveillance. Assia struggles to disrupt the government secrecy shrouding what happened and takes the FBI to federal court to compel them to make the records they collected about her community public. In the process, she confronts long-hidden truths about the FBI’s relationship to her community. The Feeling of Being Watched follows Assia as she pieces together this secret FBI operation, while grappling with the effects of a lifetime of surveillance on herself and her family.

Dissonance: "The Feeling of Being Watched" (April 7, 2022 12:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/93853 93853-21709052@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 7, 2022 12:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Information and Technology Services (ITS)

Dissonance is proud to present free viewing of The Feeling of Being Watched from March 28 to April 7, and on the afternoon of April 7 a discussion with film's director and Wallace House fellow Assia Boundaoui. Conversation will be facilitated by Wallace House Director Lynette Clemetson, and will be joined by Roya Ensafi and Tanisha Afnan.

About The Feeling of Being Watched
In the Arab-American neighborhood outside of Chicago where journalist and filmmaker Assia Boundaoui grew up, most of her neighbors think they have been under surveillance for over a decade. While investigating their experiences, Assia uncovers tens of thousands of pages of FBI documents that prove her hometown was the subject of one of the largest counter terrorism investigations ever conducted in the U.S. before 9/11, code named “Operation Vulgar Betrayal.” With unprecedented access, The Feeling of Being Watched weaves the personal and the political as it follows the filmmaker’s examination of why her community—including her own family—fell under blanket government surveillance. Assia struggles to disrupt the government secrecy shrouding what happened and takes the FBI to federal court to compel them to make the records they collected about her community public. In the process, she confronts long-hidden truths about the FBI’s relationship to her community. The Feeling of Being Watched follows Assia as she pieces together this secret FBI operation, while grappling with the effects of a lifetime of surveillance on herself and her family.

Project Management Certification (April 10, 2022 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91083 91083-21677008@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, April 10, 2022 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Tauber Institute for Global Operations

Once again, the Tauber Institute, in conjunction with the International Project Management Association (IPMA), is sponsoring a Project Management certification class and exam for graduate business and engineering students, alumni, and staff.

In order to participate, you will need to reflect upon a project management experience (for example: a work project, an engineering design experience/senior capstone, Ross' MAP project, Tauber team project, etc). If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel, MAP, or other another class), the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session.

The cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595, however, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students:
$550 for U-M alumni or public
$425 for U-M students, U-M employees, or Tauber alumni
$325 for U-M Ross School of Business or U-M College of Engineering staff
$225 for Tauber Institute students
$145 for previous students to retake the exam

Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 13 (1:00 pm - 4:00 pm)
Sunday, March 27 (1:00 pm - 4:00 pm)
Sunday, April 10 (1:00 pm - 4:00 pm)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for May 1, 2022 (11:00 am) virtually. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Project Management is a powerful skill set to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!

REGISTRATION: Please register through iMpact by clicking here:

NOTE: The non-refundable fees

HOSTED BY: Tauber Institute for Global Operations. For questions about this event, please contact tauberinstitute@umich.edu or visit tauber.umich.edu.

What is IPMA Level D® (Certified Project Management Associate)? The IPMA Level D is an internationally recognized entry-level qualification in the area of project management. This designation, which demonstrates the individual's ability to understand the basics of project management, is similar to the exam-oriented, knowledge-based certifications of other major Project Management associations. For many, Level D® is the first step towards a professional project or program manager role. It is the first step in a sequence (C, B and A) to be earned by demonstration of success in larger PM responsibility sets.

STS Speaker. Birth of a Notation: Charting Human and Machine Failure at the Dawn of the Jazz Age (April 11, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90031 90031-21667627@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 11, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Science, Technology & Society

This talk examines how one of the central graphic technologies of Scientific Management and of modern project consulting — the Gantt Chart — grew out of attempts to create intricate psychic and cultural linkages between two kinds of failure in Progressive-Era America: failure as a condition of industrial machinery, and failure as a kind of person. For its creator, Henry Gantt, the chart ultimately formed part of a project of racial containment: a vision that kept black workers out of northern factories by encoding a relationship between whiteness and efficiency and providing a graphic formalism for white racial uplift. Against the backdrop of the Great Migration, the charts combined with racist union practices, anxieties about black mobility, and fears of racial degeneration to create northern industrial concerns as closed white democracies that cultivated a specific kind of technological self. Linking those developments to our own worries in the early-21st century, the talk encourages us to see the history of modern technology as a history of the intersections between failing machines and historical selves, and of the social orders and dystopias they both made possible.

Bio: Edward Jones-Imhotep is a historian of the social and cultural life of machines and Director of the University of Toronto’s Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology. He writes about topics ranging from the history of music studios and artificial life to space technologies and the technological geographies of islands. His research is particularly interested in histories of technological failure — breakdowns, malfunctions, accidents — and what they reveal about the place of machines and the stakes of machine failures in the culture, politics, and economics of modern societies. He is the recipient of the Society for the History of Technology’s Sidney Edelstein Prize for his book, The Unreliable Nation: Hostile Nature and Technological Failure in the Cold War (MIT Press, 2017), and the Abbot Payson Usher Prize for his article, “Malleability and Machines: Glenn Gould and the Technological Self.” His current book project, Unreliable Humans/Fallible Machines, examines how people from the late-18th to the mid-20th centuries understood machine failures as a problem of the self — a problem of the kinds of people that failing machines created, or threatened, or presupposed.
