Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Life Sciences Institute (LSI)

We are living through multiple simultaneous global crises, so vast and complex that they seemingly defy sense. During such times, good communication can help people understand the brutal realities of the present while equipping them with necessary hope in a brighter future. Drawing from their decades of experience, from conservation to COVID reporting, Liz Neeley and Ed Yong will discuss the art and science of sense-making in a time of crisis, and why it's crucial to the challenges that we face.

**Copies of Yong's books will be available for sale, along with a book-signing opportunity, immediately following the presentation.**

*The LSI's SciComm Speaker Series highlights the importance of disseminating scientific findings beyond the walls of the academy and effectively communicating the impact of publicly-funded research. This annual event provides world-leading science writers and communicators with an opportunity to share their experiences with faculty, staff and students, while also tapping into U-M's vast scientific research community.*

**Liz Neeley** is the founder and principal of Liminal Creations, a design firm focused on science and communication. She is fascinated by blending the power and beauty of the art with rigorous research on how people make sense of the world around us. Until September 2020, Neeley was the Executive Director of The Story Collider, where she focused on true, personal stories of science told live on stage. Over the past fifteen years, she has specialized in environmental science, journalism, policy and social media, always searching for the best ways of spreading ideas through complex networks.

**Ed Yong** is a science staff writer with The Atlantic. He was awarded the 2021 Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting for his crucial coverage of the coronavirus pandemic, and was named “the most important and impactful journalist" of 2020 by Poynter. He anticipated the course of the virus, the complex challenges that the U.S. faced, and the government’s disastrous failure in its response. He is the author of two New York Times bestsellers, An Immense World and I Contain Multitudes. Before he joined The Atlantic, Ed’s writing was featured in National Geographic, The New Yorker, Wired, The New York Times, Nature, New Scientist, Scientific American and other publications.

Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: Department of Learning Health Sciences

Speaker:
Ewout W. Steyerberg, PhD
Professor of Clinical Biostatistics & Medical Decision Making, Chair, Dept of Biomedical Data Sciences
Leiden University Medical Center, The Netherlands

Clinical prediction models aim to predict a person’s risk of an outcome (e.g. complications, mortality) given their observed characteristics (1). Risk predictions are traditionally derived from regression models. Artificial Intelligence, and specifically Machine Learning methods, are gaining interest to develop predictive algorithms. Predictions from classic models or AI algorithms need to be reliable to provide valid support for tasks such as shared decision making and whether a person should initiate a particular treatment.
The aim of this talk is to review recent developments in prediction model development and validation. Illustrations will be provided from different medical applications. Trustworthiness will be discussed in relation to the statistical aspects -such as sample size and the exceptionality of patients-, model uncertainty, and heterogeneity between contexts of practical application.

Understanding Osteoarthritis Pathogenesis using high throughput omic approaches. (January 18, 2024 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/116439 116439-21836824@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 18, 2024 12:00pm
Location: Dental & W.K. Kellogg Institute
Organized By: Office of Research School of Dentistry

Osteoarthritis (OA) is among the most prevalent chronic human health disorders and the most common form of
arthritis. Specific mechanisms associated with the joint destruction during OA are largely unknown. Due to the
lack of biomarkers, it is impossible to identify patients exhibiting early stages of OA, leading to severe joint
destruction. Furthermore, due to poor understanding of the underlying disease mechanisms, no approved
disease-modifying therapies to treat OA exist. Therefore, early detection and early intervention is critical to
restore joint functions.
My translational research program is directed towards:
(1) Understanding the complex cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with joint destruction during
osteoarthritis
(2) Identifying reliable biomarkers for early identification of patients with osteoarthritis to enable early
intervention using our large-scale OA biobank that we have created (over 150,000 banked specimens)
(3) Identifying novel therapeutic targets to stop/delay osteoarthritis and restore joint function

I lead a group 8 scientists in the Skeletal/Connective Tissue Diseases Therapeutic Focus Area at Regeneron. Using Velocimmune mice and other antibody technologies my team develops reagents and bioassays for the screening and selection of therapeutic antibodies and other engineered biomolecules. We also leverage human genetics for target discovery by functionally model disease associated variants in vitro and in vivo. Our work to understand the molecular mechanism of ACVR1 mutations in Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) demonstrated that Activin A is both a necessary and sufficient driver of Heterotopic ossification in FOP using an anti-Activin A blocking antibody prevented heterotopic bone formation in a ‘genetically accurate’ mouse model of FOP. Regeneron has completed Phase II trials and is in Phase I studies in FOP.

When “representative” surveys fail: Can a non-ignorable missingness mechanism explain bias in estimates of COVID-19 vaccine uptake?

Recently, attention was drawn to the failure of two very large internet-based probability surveys to correctly estimate COVID-19 vaccine uptake in the U.S. in early 2021. Both the Delphi-Facebook COVID-19 Trends and Impact Survey (CTIS) and Census Household Pulse Survey (HPS) overestimated vaccine uptake substantially (14 and 17 points in May 2021) compared to retroactively available CDC benchmark data. These surveys had large numbers of respondents but very low response rates (<10%), and thus non-ignorable nonresponse could have substantially impacted estimates. Specifically, it is plausible that “anti-vaccine” individuals were less likely to complete a survey about COVID-19; we might also hypothesize that “anti-vaccine” individuals could be suspicious of the government and thus less likely to respond to an official government-sponsored survey. In this talk we use proxy pattern-mixture models (PPMMs) to retrospectively estimate the proportion of adults (18+) who received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, using data from the CTIS and HPS, under a non-ignorable nonresponse assumption. We compare these estimates to the true benchmark uptake numbers and show that the PPMM could have detected the direction of the bias and have provided meaningful bias bounds. We also use the PPMM to estimate vaccine hesitancy, a measure without a benchmark truth, and compare to the direct survey estimates. We conclude with discussion of how the PPMM could be prospectively as part of an assessment of nonresponse and/or selection bias, factors that would facilitate such analyses in the future, and ongoing work to extend the PPMM to novel areas.

Rebecca Andridge is an Associate Professor of Biostatistics at The Ohio State University College of Public Health. She conducts methodologic work in imputation methods for missing data, primarily in large-scale probability samples, and measures of selection bias for nonprobability samples. In particular, she works on methods for imputing data when missingness is driven by the missing values themselves (missing not at random). She teaches introductory graduate and undergraduate biostatistics and won the College's Outstanding Teaching Award in 2011 and is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association.
