Make It Stick - Research-Based Learning Strategies You Need to Know (January 29, 2020 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70899 70899-17735192@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 29, 2020 5:30pm
Location: Undergraduate Science Building
Organized By: Science Learning Center

The study and learning strategies students often bring to college are often insufficient to help them succeed at the university level. Particularly in challenging STEM courses, students can't simply memorize or cram their way to a good grade. This workshop will focus on the popular learning strategies to avoid, as well as the top three strategies you don't know but are shown by research to be the most effective for long-term learning.

Professional Autobiographies are excellent opportunities for students to hear directly from health care professionals in an informal setting. During these talks, students will learn about speakers' motivations for their career choices, how their interests and experiences influenced their career trajectories, and how they’ve worked to align their passion(s) with their work. These sessions provide an excellent opportunity to connect with professionals who may be able to provide valuable advice during your Michigan career.

No Defense: The U.S. Government's War on Water (February 19, 2020 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/72213 72213-17957434@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 19, 2020 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Lifestage Environmental Exposures and Disease Center

In conjunction with the Feb 20 symposium, "From PBB to PFAS: Research and Action to Address Michigan’s Large-Scale Chemical Contaminations" this FREE event is sponsored by the National Wildlife Foundation and the Michigan League of Conservation Voters.

"No Defense" is a documentary that tells the story of the Americans who are fighting against one of the largest-known polluters in the country — the United States government. Since the 1990s, it’s been documented that a category of chemicals known as perfluorinated compounds (PFAS) are harmful to life, yet the government continues to mandate its use at hundreds of sites across the country, contaminating surface water and drinking water, with no plan in place to clean it up. This film highlights the people who are suffering, who are blowing the whistle, and who are fighting the United States military’s war on water.

The film focuses on the PFAS contamination problem in Oscoda, Michigan, as a case study into how the U.S. military has failed to protect human health and the environment around the nation and the world. The PFAS contamination in Oscoda was discovered nearly 10 years ago, making it the first PFAS site in Michigan and the first PFAS military site in the world. The film's director, Sara Ganim, is a former CNN correspondent who won the Pulitzer Prize for breaking the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal at Penn State; she also has done extensive reporting on water issues in other communities in the U.S, including Flint.

Documentary. 270 min. Including Filmmaker Q&A. NR.

No Defense is directed by Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Sara Ganim. Produced by Emmy-award winning journalist Lennart Bourin. Executive Producer Robert P. Ufer.

Film will be followed by a Filmmaker Q&A.

*Please register by going to http://mleead.umich.edu/Event_Climate_Change_and_Health_2020.php*

Our climate is our planet’s life support system. Climate change influences human health and disease in numerous ways, including impacts from increased extreme weather events, wildfire, decreased air quality, and illnesses transmitted by food, water, and disease carriers such as mosquitoes and ticks. As described in the Lancet Countdown report, some existing health threats will intensify and new health threats will emerge. Not everyone is equally at risk, and children are especially at risk. Preventive and adaptive actions are needed.

The keynote speaker is an emergency medicine physician who co-authored the U.S. portion of the Lancet Countdown report and Health and Care Delivery in the New England Journal of Medicine. A panel of experts will present solutions from a variety of other universities who are reducing their carbon footprint in response to the urgent public health need.

Welcome: Joseph C. Kolars, MD, Senior Associate Dean for Education and Global Initiatives, UM Medical School

Location: Ross School of Business
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 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: $500 and to Tauber students: $150. Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 15 (noon - 4:30 pm, Ross R-0420)
Sunday, March 29 (noon - 4:30 pm, Ross R-0420)
Sunday, April 5 (noon - 4:30 pm, Ross R-0420)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for April 26, 2020 (11:00 am) at the Ross School of Business, R-0320. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Over the last two years, all students who have taken the exam have passed!

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

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.

Project Management Certification (April 5, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/73563 73563-18261073@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, April 5, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Ross School of Business
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 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: $500 and to Tauber students: $150. Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 15 (noon - 4:30 pm, Ross R-0420)
Sunday, March 29 (noon - 4:30 pm, Ross R-0420)
Sunday, April 5 (noon - 4:30 pm, Ross R-0420)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for April 26, 2020 (11:00 am) at the Ross School of Business, R-0320. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Over the last two years, all students who have taken the exam have passed!

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

REGISTRATION: Please register through iMpact by clicking here:

NOTE: The $500 (for non-Tauber students) or $150 fee (for Tauber students) is non-refundable.

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.

It is impossible to ignore the evidence of the past decade - wildfires have made air on the west coast incredibly hazardous and children have been poisoned by drinking water at crucial ages of development. The environment we have created for ourselves is a serious threat to our health.

Eva Feldman, MD, PhD, Director of the NeuroNetwork for Emerging Therapies, will moderate the 30-minute mini symposium that discusses both global and local impacts that the environment has on our health. Along with Dr. Feldman, presentations will be made by Jonathan Overpeck, PhD, Dean of the School for Environment and Sustainability, who will address climate change and environmental justice; Stuart Batterman, PhD, a professor from the U-M School of Public Health, who will discuss how contaminants in the air affect your health; and Stephen Goutman, MD, MS, director of the Pranger ALS Clinic, who will talk about the association between environmental pollution and ALS.

The Psychology of Pathogen Avoidance: How Does It Work and How Relevant Is It for Understanding Pandemic Behavior? (October 15, 2020 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/78467 78467-20050321@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 15, 2020 5:00pm

Infectious diseases have been some of humanity's biggest killers. Fortunately, we possess an evolved psychology of pathogen avoidance - a system of mental mechanisms that help us identify, track, and respond to such dangers, thereby reducing risks of infection. Unfortunately, this system is imperfect - we mistake which information is diagnostic, leading to faulty assumptions, pernicious attitudes, and bad decisions. I will review recent work in our lab focusing on how we conceptualize pathogen threats and consequences of this process. Additionally, I will discuss when our understanding of pathogen avoidance psychology can inform explanations of pandemic behavior, and more importantly, why it might not.

LHS Collaboratory-LHS as a Driver of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (October 20, 2020 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/77545 77545-19879862@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 20, 2020 11:30am

Healthcare and health remain unconscionably inequitable. This year, the disproportionate toll the COVID-19 pandemic has taken on those historically least well-served by our health system, has highlighted the pressing societal challenge of health disparities.

Beyond simply striving to do no harm, Learning Health Systems (LHSs) have the potential to serve as forces for justice in healthcare and health; indeed, they can be powerful drivers of diversity, equity, and inclusion. LHSs are anchored in multi-stakeholder consensus Core Values that explicitly incorporate principles such as inclusiveness, transparency, and accessibility. Their proximal goal is "to efficiently and equitably serve the learning needs of all participants, as well as the overall public good."

The October 2020 LHS Collaboratory will share lessons from health advocates working on the front lines to make healthcare and health more equitable. These thought leaders and do-ers will illuminate the transformative power of LHSs - and the diverse and inclusive communities of interest that are collaborating to realize them.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for the History of Medicine

The Center for the History of Medicine is pleased to announce its 19th Annual Horace W. Davenport Lecture in the Medical Humanities.

This year’s lecture will feature Dr. Powel Kazanjian, Professor and Chief of Infectious Diseases at the University of Michigan Medical School. Dr. Kazanjian is also Professor of History at the University of Michigan, where he teaches on the history of epidemics and the history of sexually transmitted diseases. He has written extensively about the history of AIDS, syphilis, commercial botulism, plague, and the development of bacteriology in America.

Dr. Kazanjian will deliver his lecture, “The Persistence of Contagious Diseases.” By the later 20th century, it had become common for public health officials and lay writers to envision a future in which epidemic diseases had been eliminated. The appearance of the new deadly disease that would eventually be known as AIDS in 1981, however, challenged their confident vision. The potent antiretroviral therapies (ART) introduced in 1996 enabled individuals receiving treatment to survive a full lifespan. By 2014, a global UNAIDS campaign sought to “end AIDS as a global health threat” by 2030” by maximizing the distribution of ART to infected people. The UNAIDS campaign is conceptually similar to earlier 20th century programs that sought to end syphilis by expanding specific therapy. The failure of these syphilis campaigns, together with the realization that today’s efforts to end AIDS is falling short of their 2020 milestones, however, raise uncertainties about whether the ongoing UNAIDs campaign will succeed. Socioeconomic and behavioral factors have hindered the biomedical campaigns to eliminate syphilis and AIDS. To be effective, scientific public health campaigns must also address how to rectify the socioeconomic conditions and human behaviors that vex elimination efforts and lead to emerging epidemics like AIDS and Covid-19. Epidemic diseases, along with efforts launched to contain them, have been and continue to be an inescapable part of our existence.

Please join us for this engaging and timely online lecture from one of the nation’s premiere infectious disease experts.

Military Healthcare has had a strong relationship with civilian health care for many years. They say that “Necessity is the mother of invention.” Overtime military research and innovations have been adopted into civilian medicine. For the last 8 months our national health system has been dealing with the challenges of COVID-19. Unlike a “normal” mass casualty event, the COVID-19 pandemic poses unique challenges to the health system and to the execution of health care. As a military veteran I was able to use and apply many lessons learned and leadership concepts from my military background to my experience at Swedish Edmonds Hospital.

This presentation will cover topics such as: Planning, Training, Human Factors, Concept of Mission Command, Logistics and Personnel.
Additional topics will be discussed as time allows.

The proliferation of digital information in all human experiences presents difficult challenges and offers unique opportunities of managing, modeling, analyzing, interpreting, and visualizing heterogeneous data. There is a substantial need to develop, validate, productize, and support novel mathematical techniques, advanced statistical computing algorithms, transdisciplinary tools, and effective artificial intelligence apps.

Spacekime analytics is a new technique for modeling high-dimensional longitudinal data, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). This approach relies on extending the notions of time, events, particles, and wave functions to complex-time (kime), complex-events (kevents), data and inference-functions, respectively. This talk will illustrate how the kime-magnitude (longitudinal time order) and kime-direction (phase) affect the subsequent predictive analytics and the induced scientific inference. The mathematical foundation of spacekime calculus reveals various statistical implications including inferential uncertainty and a Bayesian formulation of spacekime analytics. Complexifying time allows the lifting of all commonly observed processes from the classical 4D Minkowski spacetime to a 5D spacetime manifold, where a number of interesting mathematical problems arise.

Spacekime analytics transforms time-varying data, such as time-series observations, into higher-dimensional manifolds representing complex-valued and kime-indexed surfaces (kime-surfaces). This process uncovers some of the intricate structure in high-dimensional data that may be intractable in the classical space-time representation of the data. In addition, the spacekime representation facilitates the development of innovative data science analytical methods for model-based and model-free scientific inference, derived computed phenotyping, and statistical forecasting. Direct neuroscience science applications of spacekime analytics will be demonstrated using simulated data and clinical observations (e.g., UK Biobank).

An end-to-end deep learning system for rapid analysis of the breath metabolome with applications in critical care illness and beyond (November 11, 2020 9:20am) https://events.umich.edu/event/79211 79211-20231452@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 11, 2020 9:20am

The metabolome is the set of low-molecular-weight metabolites and its quantification represents a summary of the physiological state of an organism. Metabolite concentration levels in biospecimens are important for many critical care health illnesses like sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Sepsis is responsible for 35% of patients who die in the hospital and ARDS has a mortality rate of 40%. Missing data is a common challenge in metabolomics datasets. Many metabolomics investigators impute fixed values for missing metabolite concentrations and this imputation approach leads to lower statistical power, biased parameter estimates, and reduced prediction accuracy. Certain applications of metabolomics data, like breath analysis by gas chromatography, used for the prediction or detection of ARDS, can be done without the quantification of individual metabolites. This would circumvent the quantification step of individual metabolites, eliminating the missing data problem. Our team has developed a rapid gas chromatography breath analyzer, which has been challenged by missing data, a time-consuming process of breath signature alignment, and the following quantification of metabolites across patients. Analyzing the breath signal directly could eliminate these challenges. End-to-end deep learning systems are neural networks that operate directly on a raw data source and make a prediction directly for the target application. These systems have been successful in diverse fields from speech recognition to medicine. We envision an end-to-end deep learning that leverages transfer learning, from the collection of many healthy samples, that could rapidly multiply the applications of our breath analyzer. The end-to-end deep learning system will enhance our breath analyzer so it could be used more efficiently in areas of the intensive care unit to the battlefield to identity patients or soldiers with critical illnesses like sepsis and ARDS and monitor longitudinal changes in breath metabolites.

ABSTRACT: Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) have proven to be an effective therapeutic platform for the treatment of disease. These short, single-stranded, modified nucleotides function by base-pairing with the complementary sequence of an RNA and modulating gene expression in a manner that is dependent on the ASO design and targeting site. We have used ASOs to normalize aberrant gene expression associated with a number of diseases of the nervous system including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease and Usher syndrome. One of our approaches is under development for the treatment of CLN3 Batten disease, a fatal, pediatric lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in a gene encoding the lysosomal membrane protein CLN3. The most common mutation associated with CLN3 Batten is a deletion of exons 7 and 8 (CLN3Δex78), which disrupts the mRNA open reading frame by creating a premature termination codon that results in the production of a truncated protein. We devised a therapeutic strategy for treating CLN3 Batten Disease using an ASO that basepairs to CLN3 pre-mRNA and alters splicing to correct the open reading frame of the mutated transcript. Treatment of CLN3Δex78 neonatal mice by intracerebroventricular injection of the ASO resulted in the desired splicing effect throughout the central nervous system, improved motor deficits associated with the disease in mice, reduced histopathological features of the disease in the brain and extended life in a severe mouse model of the disease. Our results demonstrate that ASO-mediated reading frame correction is a promising therapeutic approach for CLN3 Batten disease.

ABSTRACT
Objectives: COVID-19 presents a unique burden specifically for workers in service industries not only because they are disproportionately at risk for contracting the virus but also because of their work-related burdens. We aimed to understand the impact of COVID-19 on these workers.
Methods: This was a mixed-method study with a congruent triangulation design. Participants were recruited through social media. Each interview lasted up to 20 minutes. The survey data included demographic questions along with items from the CAGE and PC-PTSD questionnaires.
Results: Twenty-seven individuals completed audio-recorded phone interviews and 28 completed the survey. Participants were mostly women with an age range between 19 and 65. Participants worked in food retail (n=23), restaurant (n=25), and hospitality (n=7) industries. Length of time on the job ranged from two months to 25 years and 60% of the participants worked full time. Participants reported experiencing symptoms of depression and maladaptive coping. Job insecurity, change of job tasks, and work hours were the most common ways that COVID-19 affected the workers. Themes that emerged about participant’s concerns included being infected and/or unknowingly infecting others, the unknown, isolation, and work and customer demands. Constant changes relating to communication and protection measures were a major source of stress. There was discordance in the perceived level of threat of COVID-19. Most participants reported that their workplace complied with their state’s mandates for protection measures. While others reported lacking basic supplies such as soap, hand sanitizer, and masks.
Conclusions: In addition to their work experiences, COVID-19 has affected service workers at the financial, physical and mental levels. This study has implications of employers, occupational health and safety professionals and policy stakeholders.

Traumatic bone injuries are very common orthopedic conditions that often require advanced treatment. The Masquelet technique is an existing two-stage surgical method used to heal traumatic injuries and non-unions. Last year in the United States alone there were 500,000 bone graft procedures performed to heal and treat these traumatic bone injuries or defects. The majority of these grafting procedures are necessary due to the size of these defects. These defects are called critical size defects and are defined by defects that are too large to heal naturally or defects that are more than 2.5 times the radius of the bone. The crux of the Masqulet technique is the induction of a biological membrane that provides the proper environment for osteogenesis. There is a desire to use a tissue engineering approach to fabricate and culture these membranes in vitro to later be used as part of the Masquelet technique. A tissue engineering approach was taken to engineer these membranes using a fibrin hydrogel platform seeded with normal human lung fibroblasts or a co-culture of fibroblasts or human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Constructs were analyzed for axial and radial compaction, cell viability, and cell morphology at differing time points and under different culture media conditions. Viable, vascularized constructs were able to be reliably manufactured and cultured allowing for characterization of the system. Although this work is not exhaustive, it sheds some light on a possible tissue engineering approach to work in conjunction with the Masquelet technique. Future work will focus on exploring other properties of the fibrin constructs as well as characterizing constructs made of collagen, and a combination of collagen and fibrin.

Personalized medicine makes use of rich and multi-modality individual health data for the promise of better diagnosis, improved health, and a high quality and longer life. The human genome is a key piece in the puzzle. The collection and sharing of personal genomics for research alsobring an increasing concern about privacy, and the risk of discrimination and stigmatization. There are important ethical, legal, and social implications, for example, individual genome information is known to be uniquely identifiable, which is also highly associated with relatives. Trust, accountability, and equity are critical pillars to enable responsible data sharing.

In this talk, I will overview the genomic privacy risks to show various kinds of vulnerability, covering linkage attack, membership attack, and other inference attacks. Then, I will introduce some technical mitigation strategies including secure outsourcing, multiparty computing, and privacy-preserving output perturbation. I hope that this talk will contribute to the awareness of our community with respect to the magnitude of the challenge and the necessity to develop effective and practical solutions.

This special lecture honors Dr. Sower’s extraordinary scientific contributions to the field of women’s health and to inspire young scholars to transcend the boundaries between varying fields of research to advance women’s health. Dr. Sower’s unique insights into the breadth and depth of underlying physiological processes common to multiple diseases as well as her efforts to understand the linkages between ovarian and chronological aging has contributed substantially to the advancement of science. As a result of her contributions, women’s health grew from a peripheral field of study to a major discipline and we honor her legacy by inviting a groundbreaking researcher to present a lecture in her name.

Bodies represent the sites of socially constructed differences and power relations. As such, the personal is political, and bodies are subject to political interpretations. Body politics based on racial (and/or ethnic) ascriptions (along with other intersecting elements such as sex, gender, sexuality, age, social class, ability, etc.) have adversely affected the overall health and wellness of bodies of Color in general, and Black bodies in particular - impacting their abilities, opportunities, access (inclusion/exclusion), care/treatment, and the overall nature of their lived experiences. Consequently, racialed body politics have contributed to an array of health disparities being more pronounced in communities of Color. However, movement offers a variety of health benefits and is therefore, a source of empowerment for racially politicized bodies.

This event will feature a keynote presentation by Dr. Monique Butler, U-M Kinesiology alumna and Chief Medical Officer for HCA Healthcare North Florida Division. She will address the theme "Where Do We Go From Here: Body Politics and Movement Towards Racial Empowerment."

This event is sponsored by the U-M Health Sciences units and hosted by the School of Kinesiology.

To combat COVID-19, clinicians and scientists all need to digest the vast amount of relevant biomedical knowledge in literature to understand the disease mechanism and the related biological functions. The first challenge is quantity. For example, nearly 2.7K new papers are published at PubMed per day. This knowledge bottleneck causes significant delay in the development of vaccines and drugs for COVID-19. The second challenge is quality due to the rise and rapid, extensive publications of preprint manuscripts without pre-publication peer review. Many research results about coronavirus from different research labs and sources are redundant, complementary or event conflicting with each other.

Let’s consider drug repurposing as a case study. Besides the long process of clinical trial and biomedical experiments, another major cause for the long process is the complexity of the problem involved and the difficulty in drug discovery in general. The current clinical trials for drug re-purposing mainly rely on symptoms by considering drugs that can treat diseases with similar symptoms. However, there are too many drug candidates and too much misinformation published from multiple sources. In addition to a ranked list of drugs, clinicians and scientists also aim to gain new insights into the underlying molecular cellular mechanisms on Covid-19, and which pre-existing conditions may affect the mortality and severity of this disease.

To tackle these two challenges, we have developed a novel and comprehensive knowledge discovery framework, COVID-KG, to accelerate scientific discovery and build a bridge between clinicians and biology scientists. COVID-KG starts by reading existing papers to build multimedia knowledge graphs (KGs), in which nodes are entities/concepts and edges represent relations involving these entities, extracted from both text and images. Given the KGs enriched with path ranking and evidence mining, COVID-KG answers natural language questions effectively. Using drug repurposing as a case study, for 11 typical questions that human experts aim to explore, we integrate our techniques to generate a comprehensive report for each candidate drug. Preliminary assessment by expert clinicians and medical school students show our generated reports are informative and sound. I will also talk about our ongoing work to extend this framework to other domains including molecular synthesis and agriculture.
